The FIRE THIS MoRSINo.-Aboutt three
o'clock this morning, . Are broke out in
the twoatory frame residence, occupied
and owned by Mr.. Daniel Ryan, on Twen-
ty-sixth street. The fire spread rapidly
and soon enveloped the two adjacent franc
buildings. The engines were promptly
on the spot but experienced great difficulty
In procuring water. This was overcome
finally and the flames brought under con.
troll and extinguished. Mr.. Ryan lost
most Of his household goods. His reef.
dence was valued at $500, upon which
he holds an Etna insurance policy for
$500. The building occupied by Mr.. Far.
rell, and owned by Messrs. Greedy & Pur-
cell, was also totally destroyed. The pre-
else amount Of insurance., we could not o.
certain, but II was quito small. The other
frame was occupied by negroes, and WAS
Of little value.

OK TIE WAR PATH.--Marshsl Bam-
brick started out on the "war-path" this
morning and the defunct Lions, Blanches,
md Trays, testify to the earnsstness with
which he executed his bloody work. We
heard young lady, Whose heart is over
flowing with tenderness and affection, ask
If there were not means of Kidding the
community of these pests, without slaugh-
tering them In cold blood upon the public
highways. There are several plans; but
the success of the plan adopted in st.
Lonis and New York, seems to commend IL
above all others. The authorities offer q
reward to the urchins of the locality Of say
10 cents per head, delivered at
designated points. Its unnecessary to say
that the boys go for the dogs, and that a
scarcity Of the canine stock Is soon per.
cep,ible. Indeed the New Workers had
to withdraw the promise Of reward, for
the boys, not satisfied with hauling In
loaang pups, went for the pets
Of the family frequently snatching them
from the doorstep. and out of the laps Of
their fair owners. The plan would work
admirably In Cairo, and ought, by all
means, to be tried. 1t would be fun and
money for the boys, and death on the dogs.

MARRIED EL1RTs.

Ono OF tho prominent out-growtha OF mod
cru eocial life Is that peculiar typo OF woman-
hood known az the married ftrt. That 1t Is
cot nov type, history furnishes abundant
{ t1amplea, but it is rarely developed IN the
earlier stages OF society. 4 wom1u in tho Sc
clueion Of her own home, or occupied with &C.
rious duties, has few temptations to WANDER
detirg fancies, and seldom Graves the e1cite-
ment Of conquest Primitive habits, too, arc
.imrIe, and primitive notions strict. House-
hold Affections are strong and eacred. and
homes are guarded by general s.trueii~
lance. but tho married dirt repre-
eents certain unfortunate phases OF An
uld civilization. She is Graded IN
luxury and ;dlcnessr and is the fozerunnet Of
tho Atpasfas, the Nontesrans. and the IsdT
Hkmiltone Of tho world She has not get

She is euinently respectable. She balances
herrelf with the incest skill upon the edge OF

plays With tire, but rarely Gets burned. She
il too wary, and in this lies the secret OF her
success. She acts always upon the favorite
motto Of Madame Mainsenon, ~ ny q rien
de plus habi1e qu'unr condiuse isreprcdchnole."
Tho married diEt dourishes TO the best ad-
vantage in hotels, fashionable boarding
houses, and summer wateriug-p1aees indeed,
she is the natural result Ct this idle
nom1dic life. She is usually possessed OF
mora OF less poreon1l attractions, Which It is
