A Fearful Scene.

Whatever may be the punishments of a
future existence, there are some sufferers
who have experienced o rain of fire and
birthstone in this. A correspondent in
the Gaboon, West Africa, furnishes us with
details. Buildings in that region Are con.
structed of bamboo, and are conse rueptlv
about as combustible as haystacks, and
this Is true even of the factories" or com.
mercial establishments and warehouses. =
A little after midnight on the 9th of Feb
ruary, factory took fire, in which were
stored three tuns of gunpowder in keos
A terrific explosion occurred within ten
minutes after the discovery of the fire.
Large cakes Of powder were thrown into
the air, and after falling, ignited; thus set
ting hre to the roofs of all the buildings
In the nsighborhood. The. destruc-
ton was widely spread by yerv
high wind. Ten thousand gallons of
rum and 300 cases of gin taking fire, pour.
ed themselves out in sheets of flame
that ran down to the river, and orantities
OF fish, who were not accustomed to i'm.
biblng crdmb0mbSli were picked up pext
morning on the shore. The Tribune, in the
year 1859, recorded romantic marriage Of
an African prince with the daughter Of an
American farmer This lady's residence in
the Gaboon was not more than 80 feet to
windward of the place of storage of the
gunpowder. Having been awakened by the
alarm Of fire, she was In the act of remoy-
ing some valuables from her house at the
moment Of the explosion. The powder
kegs came down in fragments, successivelv.
and she was knocked down several timss
by the blazing missiles before escaping to a
place of safety. Some property of the
American Missions was destroyed. and an
opportunity afforded for sermon on tbe
catastrophe Of Sodom and Gomorrah.

A Little difference.

:. Miiklng-tlme was always merry, bust
ing hour at CloveIdale farm house. There
was ciatter of shining pans in the dairy.
as tney We're arran yed on the shelves ready
ior the milk. Lem went bounding off 10
the Iot for his cows, with the never failinc
whistle on his lips. think the cows musf
have learned his tune, for he never whistled
but one. Even Mary went out with her
buckets ana cans to the milking-yard with
cheerful song and pleasant word. Every
where about the place there was an air of
thrift and happiness. The blessings of
dod rested upon that household. 1t is that
which 'maketh rich, and be addefh no
sorrow with it."
just as the las milk-can had been SET
away, there came stealing up the garden
path a desolate- looking little figure, bear
ing a broken pitcher in his hand.
Please, ma'am, could you let mother
have teacupful of milk for Rosy? She's
very pad again, and the doctor SAYS she'll
die II she don't GET something nourishing
to eat"
Mary looked down suspiciously into the
cracked pitcher, but it was as clean as her
own spotless china. The mistress had lust
entered and heard the poor child's appeal.
81 will give you all milk enough for your
suppers, Willie, if you would like II. She
said. You can bring the pail back TO-
night, If you please, and she proceeded to
pour out two quarts into bright tin pail
TOR him. Here is loaf you may take to
crumb into 1t, she added with smile. as
the poor, bewildered, hungry child scarce
ly knew what reply TO make.
We will follow little Willie to his home.

What makes this worldwide difference
between these two homes There was a
time when the broken-down cottage was as
neat and well-keptas theneighboring farm
house; when the tangled yard was thrifty
and blooming with vines and roses
All the secret of it all was that the
iather OF one family had learned the path
to the ale-house; the other was a man of
strict temperance principles, one who
men had set out in life with prospects
equally fair, with this exception. 1t seemed
a little thing to most people then, but this
had been the result This little differ
ence in the habits of the boy and the young
man, makes all the difference in his fature
lie. o! the difference does not stop in this
world. ''No drunkard shall inherit eternal

The Richmond Capitol.

The capitol was built Immediately at the
close OF the Revolution. The model chosen
for it was the we'll known Msison Carree at
Nismes, 8 miniature pattern of which was
sent over from France by Mr.. jefferson, but
the architect made many deviations from
the model. whereby the effect of the baild-
ing was greatly impaired. 1t was always an
ugly, inconyenieut, ill-arrangsd structure
though from q distance it has an imposing
appearance, and looks like Parthenon.
Its historical associations are of the most
interesting kind In the basement story,
where the Ohancery Court was held in the
old time. Henry Clay began his life ss q

George Wythe of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, In its halls sat the memorable
Constitutional Convention Of 1929 so, which
numbered among its members John Ran

" less illustrious. Tventy-three years

strike the squal towards the target The
players strike In turn round the table, until
all the squalls are played, at which time the
game is decided by the greatest number of
hight or dark squalls that are within the
length OF the measure from the target. As
the squalls play alternately, and each play
may entirely change the relation of the
squalls and target to each other, the inter-
est towards the end of the game becomes
intense. The squalls may be made of any
material, but as weight is desirable, box
wood is superior to a any other wood, and
a material heavier than box-wood is still
better. -, f...4.s., 80
Most of the book stores now keep the
material for the game for sale-the same as
croquet SETS The box costs about two
dollars, an extravagant price, considering
ths cost of making the set.
