COMPLAINTS


Reports Of inhumanity on the part of the
wealthy whose houses happened to be in the
unburned district are frequent. 1t is said
they barricaded their residences barred and
locked their doors, drove the distressed,
who had congregated in their court yards
and sheds away and refused to allow even
the scant shelter they sought in that hour Of
their great extremity. Some of the scenes
were extremely pitiable. Mothers with
starving babes perishing from want and cold,
besought with heartrending applications
little of the kindness which might have been
extended apparently without danger of pill
lage by the rabble. But it was every one
for himself, and there was no charity. The
fear of plumber deadened mems hearts and
women's sympathies, and the harsh treat
ment returned in way entirely unexpect-
ed and with vengeance which was terrible.
Ruffians set fire to mansions and burned
down houses over the inmates heads. I'M
Imagination cannot picture the horrible
scenes.

At one time, after the fire had been raging
in the centre of the city, and while the fire
was raging on the south side of the river,
considerable number of persons were cut
of from crossing and could not retreat on
account of the flames. The water or the
fire was the alternative presented. Notlong
did they hesitate, and the whole party were
soon struggling in the river. 1t is not known

work of devastation. Strangers had been
hurried from their quarters in the hotels and
compelled to take their chances, in the
general chaos into which every thing was
thrown by the untoward calamity to the
city.
All night the hurrying throngs had been
driven before the fast-traveling flames.
Goods taken from burning houses TO locali-
ties supposed to be safe were soon endan-
gered again, and had to be removed to still
more remote sections of the city, or aban-
doned at last as prey to the flames. Sud
denly, enyeloped in dense clouds of sufiO-
eating smoke, great crowds rushed into the
lake or the river. The number of lives thus
lost must have been great. Reliable persons
state that they saw numbers of people
. throwing themselves into the lake to es-
cape a more horrible fate by being strangled
by the sitting clouds of hot smoke from the
raging cauldron of fire on the south side of
the river.
If the night had been one of alarms, and
ceaselesS anxiety to scores of thousands, the
dawn found them hopeless and despairing.
The wind, which had been blowing from the
first breeze that amounted almost to a
gale, seemed to gather strength with the
coming day, and careered over the doomed
city, creating whirlwinds of fire, which
seemed to clutch every object, and reach far
out in quest of more food to appease its in
satiate fury.
The light from the first buildings which
had fallen prey to the flames had not
faded away. before the advance columns of
fire were two miles away, in the North
division, leaving in its track but glowing
fires and drifting ashes.

KINsMAN.-For this hearty English
word, full of manhood and warm blood,
elegant people have forced upon us
two very vague, misty substitutes-re-
lation and connection. By the use of
the latter words in place of the former,
nothing is gained and much is lost.
Both of them are very general terms.
Men have relations of various kinds,
and connections are of still wider dis
tribution. Even in regard to family
and friends, it is impossible to give
these words exactness of meaning
whereas mans kinsmen are only
those of blood. His cousin is his kins-
man, but his brother-in-law is not
Yet relation is made to express both
connections, one of blood, the other o.
law. In losing the kinsman we lose
also his frank, sweet-lipped sister
kinswoman and are obliged to give hel
place to that poor, mealy-mouthed
ill-made up Latin interloper, female
relation.-[ Richard Grant White.
