A HEART RENDING SCENE.

Directly after the disaster the fire
alarm was used, an0 the hook and lad
der companies of the city repaired to
the rescue. A Gordon of police was
drawn around the building. and ladders
thrown up to the windows. For three
hours the scene was full of horrer.-
Minute after minute there appeared,
swung ont by rope tied around the
middle of the body some popular favor
ite, who, after being swung on the shoul-
ders of one of the fire brigade, mangled
and dead, was brought down the ladder
into the green of the public park, where
it was instantly surrounded by 1000 OF
5000 of those who gathered to recog-
nize the slain. The park was filled with
weeping women and anxious men until
two O'Clock, when the last victim was
drawn from the building. After this the
police closed the park, and refused adj
mittance to any one, the bodies of the
dead having oeen sent out.

EEA correspondent,tells this story
During q recent visit to Washington a
lady friend of mine was walking In the
capitol, accompanied by Chief Justice
Chase. The young lady was about nine
teen years of age. Butler met Chase,
and after making few PREDATORY re-
marks, inquired, addressing Chase:
"Won't you introduce me to your fair
friend p
"Celtainly," replied Chase, and there
upon he introduced General Butler to
the young lady, who slightly nodded
her head. Butler, evidently struck with
her beauty, endeayored to be very agree
able.
THAT is beautiful flower" he re-
marked addressing the young lady, who
held a lovely japonica in one hand ;
won't you present it to mo?"
SIT is japonica and not silver
spoon" replied the young lady. With
that she dropped the flower on the pave
ment and put her little foot upon it,
subsequently she burst out crying, and
apologized to Chief Justice Chase for
her conduct, and said she felt such a
dreadful repugnance for the man that
she could not do otherwise than as she
did.

HOW n SEIsENADE ENDED.

A fow evenings since, when the stars
blossomed on the canopy and tho chaste
young moon hung on "thc horizon s
verge" and all the air was rcdolcnt with
the young perfume of spring flowers, a
party of our gallant and susceptible
youths went to screnadc fair young
beauty. From beneath the window
where there love was supposed to lie
dreaming, they poured forth their
dulcet strains. After rising to tho
richest and fullest mcalody, tho music
toned down to the tondcrest and sweet
est notes of love, that trembc upon tho
night air soft as the dream of an angel.
The uppor window was slowly raised
and tho dainty curtains drawn aside,

sv- DR. w. w. Hall, the publisher
of Halls Journal Of Health, in his re.
Gently published work on "Health and
Good Living" has the following on the
physical benefits of keeping Lent strict.
ly, without tho dispensation usually
granted
"lfall persons for month in early
spring were to abstain from all meats
whatsoever, as the spirit of the doctrine
of Lent requires, it would add greatly
to the health Of communities, by enabling
the system to throw off the impurities of
the body acquired by the hearty eating
of winter, would cool of the heated
blood and thus destroy tho germs of
ofsp,ing and Summer disease aud thus
it is that tho proper procticc of tho
prcccpts of religion promotes not only
the spiritual but the physical health Of
man. These are simple measures they
arc practicable, cost no money, and are
available to all and if hce;lcd in a
rational manner, dcnth would be kept
from many dwelling and life time
sorrows would be lightencd TO many

With greater vehemence he urged his

Inc proprletors OF the Boston

'We have the sublime pleasure to

or MAN IN THE UNI.
TED STATES.

Col. Ches. Whittlesey has obtained
evidence of the existence Of two races
of man, and possibly of a third inter-
mediate race, MS having held possession
OF tho Northern portion Of the American
continent--the more recent Of them he.
ing the North American Iudiau or red
men; the earlier race he terms the
mound.builders. The autiquaries Of
Europe regard the people who used
flint instruments as being prior to those
who had implements of stone; and the
latter, again, as Older than tho races
using bronze or other metals. In the
United States, the race next prior to
the white man had very few imple ments
ofstone their knives and arrow heads,
their war implements and their ogricul>
tural tools, were almost of flint; they
had very few aud rude instruments Of
native copper. The mound builders,
on the contrary, who proceeded the rcd
men, produced and used tools .iu tho
reverse order: their axes, adzes, and
mauls were very numerous, and some
times Of stono their copper tools abuu,
daut; but those of flint very rare.
Hence, in this instance, the most an
cient people were the most Industrious {:
they cultivated the soil; they possessed
moro mechanical ingenuity, and left
more prominent and permanent monu,
ments. On the Atlantic coast, From
Nova Scotia to Florida, ore numerous
shell heaps, identical with those Of
Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, aud
known as kjekkenmoddings. The cx-
animation Of several caves gave bones
Of the wolf, deer, bear, rabbit, etc..
mixed with skulls Of the red race, and
not dating back apparently more than
1000 years. Col. Whittlesey estimates
1000 years as the period also of oc-
cupation by the mound building race,
which docs not take us back as fur as
the beginning Of the historical period
in Asia and Africa.

THOUGI IIT.

Next to the good heart and clear con
science, is the clear head. Dull thinkers
are always led by sharp ones. The keen
intellect cuts its way smoothly, grace
fully, rapidly the dull one wears its
life out against the simplest problcmo.
To perceive accurately aud to think
correctly, is the aim of all mental train
ing, and-I had almost said-of life
itself. But / will not say that Heart
and conscience are more than the mere
intellect. Yet we cannot tell how much
tho clear, clean-cut thought, the in
tcllectual vision, sharp aud true, may
aid even these. Some soy that man
never feels till he sees, aud when the
object disappears the feeling ceases.
So we cannot exaggerato the impor.
tancc of clear, correct thinking We
should eat, drink, sleep, walk, exercise
body and mind, to this end. Just so far
as we fail, we make dolts aud idiots Of
ourselves. We cast away our natural
armor and defense. The designing make
us dupes we arc overrcsched by the
crafty, and trodden under foot by the

murmur of conscience, too, for falling
below its pure ideal. This adds sharp
sting to the shame Of conscious dull
ness.
A mans great power in tho natural
world, among Natures forces, water,
steam and lightning, is not in his mus
cles, but in his brain. Any horse can
pull harder, lift more, and endure longer
than the most perfectly developed man.
But q single human brain can control
nation of horses. 1t is for us, then, to
look out for this. IF we would share
what has not only given Napoleons,
Caesars and Alexanders their power,
but the great conqnerors of natural
forces as wcll-the Fultons and the
Morscs-let us look out for the brain,
sec that late suppers and indigestion do
not rob it Of vitality, that alcohol does
not harden it, nor want of sleep goad it
on to insanity; but that moral, honest
living may render it the clear, strong,
glorious thing il may become.

THE JURY. LAW.

The Chester Rcporter, in commenting
upon the trouble existing in that county
as to the time of holding Court-the
Legislature having passed two acts on
the same day providing for different
periods takes occasion to draw at
tention to tho jury, in the following
terms:
Under tho law as it existed last year,
juries we're made mp ofjnrors drawn by
the scloctmcnt ofthe different townships.
The late General Assembly repealed the
township law and Of course wiped all
the township officers out of existence.
1t failed to make any other provisions
for tho drawing Of jurics So that,
even If the timc fer holding the Court
were fixed, we see no means by which
petit juries can be organized. About
the Grand Jury there is no difficulty,
rs tho persons drawn to serve in the
capacity at the January Term, arc re .
qnired by law to serve twelve months
All this trouble and bother arises
from the stupidity and blundering care
lcssncss that preside over tho Legisla-
tive aud Executive Departments of the
Government. Let US all pull together
this year, aui reform the whole concern.
