We were sitting with Horace one afternoon, in
that little disreputable sanctum Of his adjoining
the counting room Of the Tribune. The old gen
tleman was in one Of his chronic conditions Of
Rrumble and discomfort. He had that mcaly ap-
pearance, 90 common to him, that made him re-
senble blonde miller fresh from the dust of his
-four mill, and was expressing his private opinion
in public and somewhat profane way, when a
colored gentleman was announced. "Let him
come in" reared the philosopher, and aged
darkey, clad in broadcloath, gold trimmed specta-
clee, and cane headed with the same precious
metal, stalked in.
"Mister Greeley, I believer he inquired.
"Yes, Tm Mister Greeley; what do you want n
was the gruf response.
"Well, sab" said old Ebony Specs, seating him.

-"Well, sab, I've been thinkn' that our race
don't pay enuf attention to scientific pursuits,
sab"
We saw the cloud gather on the intellectual
countenance Of the great journalistic Bohemian.
1t broke in thunder at that point. In q voice
wherein blended the shrill tones Of hysteric-
81 woman and the growl Of tiger, he exclaimed:
Scientific pursuits! You damned old fool; you

VICKsBURG.
Particulars Of the Great Flre-EsarIy a
Block Of Houses Consumed.

The Vicksburg Herald of Thursday
gives the following particulars Of the
recent fire in that city: About eleven
O'Clock last night a fire occurred in
the block of wooden buildings on
Levee street, between China and
Clay, destroying about three-fOurths
of the block.
The fire was first discovered
in the Junk store of Reuben n.
Frank, and burned so rapidly
that by the time the alarm
was sounded, the flames were already
burning through the roof and reach
ing over to adjoining buildings.
About two years ago the buildings
upon this same block were burned,
and wooden houses had been built in
several places to the old brick walls.
Consequently they were not of great
value, and were occupied by small
dealers.
From Franks the flames spread
each way, and, the houses being of
wood, for some time defied the nu-
merOus and steady streams Of water
thrown upon them.
The houses burned were r. II.
Franks junk store, Mike ComefOrt's
bar room and boarding house, Nc
Namara's steam bakery, ZOelling &
Brothers meat house, Cooks drug
store, Genella's feed store, MayfiOweT
saloon and restaurant, and a small
bakery and a bar room, all fronting
on Levee street; PiOus WOrter's gun
shop, and an eating saloon, on Clay
street, and the dwelling house Of Mrs.
KOuns, fronting on Mulberry street.
The MayfOWer saloon, a twO-stOry
frame house, was only partially burned
though house built almost against
its walls was destroyed, the tiremen
stopping the progress Of the fire here,
and saving the remainder, only few
buildings, Of the block.
The buildings across Clay and Null
berry were also of wood, and constant
streams Of water were kept upon them
to prevent their burning.
The loss will amount probably to
not more than $50, 900. The insurance
was Embellishments we were not
able to learn last night. GenellP had
$500 and PiOus WOrter $1,000 with b.
G. Humphreys & Co. There are other
sums in the agencies Of ThObald,
Page and Fairchild.
The stocks in the houses burned
were small, and but little was saved.
Mrs. KOuns' furniture was principally
saved.
Had the fire crossed the street in
any direction, untold damage would
have been done.
