the names issuing forth from the build ings on both sides of the street would unite and present solid mass of fire,
 completely filling the street from side to side, and shooting upward hundred feet into the air above the housetops in their mad career. Thus was street after street filled with flame, and the exulta- tion of the fire-6end was given over to in roar which can only be equalled by combining the noise of the ocean when its waters are driven during a tempest upon the rocky beach with the howl of the blast. Hugh walls would topple and fall into the sea of fire without apparent ly giving a sound, as the roar of the fierce element was so great that all minor sounds were swallowed up, and the fall of the walls was only perceptible to the eyes. If the reader will recall to his mind the fiercest snow-storm in his expe
 rience and imagine the snow to be fire as it surged hither and thither before the fury of the wind, they will be able tc form faint conception of the flames as they ragged through the streets of ou1 doomed city.

HE 0UGAR CROP.-Ine LOu1S1ana Sugar Bout says: New Orleans mer- chants and editors are making wild and injurious estimates of the probable yield of the present sugar crop. AS we have constantly been travelling among sugar planters the entire year, and riding over the cane fields in various parishes, we think that to calculate the yield at 150,- 900 hogsheads of sugar would be req sonable estimate {; but from all we have seen and learned from reliable sources, we fear that it will fall short of that of last season, which was about 145, ,OOO hogsheads. The crop is much worse than that of last year, and the almost general failure of stubble cane will make it necessary to reserve for seed much larger amount of cane than usual, which will fully counterbalance the increased acreage on which our New Orleans friends are making calculations.

How doss its record read tonight
Didst thou wisely use the treasure lent
Vert thou With al its Riftg content,
Remembering the One who sent?
Was thy work we'll done with cheerful sest
We're unkind thoaghts snd words repFessed?
And envy driven fsom thy breast?
Didst thou gently soethethe mourning soul?
And bid some wounded heart be whole +?
And lead the pilgrim near his goal?
Didst thou point to erring feet the way
From sins dark night to perfect day
And words of peace and comfort say
Or hast thou wasted the precious boop,
And m ade discordAnt life's sweet tune,
The end of which will come so soon
Up and be doing the time is brief,
And life is as frail o. the autumn leaf.

twelve days ago, remaking that she had a good

The talk of devising an imperial robe for the
Emperor Wilhelm was entrusted to the highest
known authority on matters of dress, a learned
and esthetic body, German of course, called the
General European Clothing Academy" which
is school where instruction in the art of clothes
making is carried to a pitch of transcendental
perfection unknown elsewhere Its erudite pro-
fessors, with true German thoroughness, have
learned all that history can teach of the materi-
ais and styles of all the garments ever worn,
from the fig leaves of the garden of Eden 10 the
latest European fashions, and they are compe-
tent to pass judgment not only on the durabili-
ty, convenience and elegance of new styles of
dress, but also on the symbolic significance that
may be given to every detail of costume. The
academic senate of this institution have eX-
hausted all their genius and learning on their
conception of the imperial robe. Every fabric,
which folms part of it, every color, each line
of the embroidery, every essential part, and
every ornamental accessory has hidden mean
ing and form an appropriate element in the grand
harmonious conception. So extremely reconcile
/ is some of this symbolism that nobody less pro-
| foundry imbued with the "clothes philosophy
| than these learned costumers could ever conjec-
ture its meaning. Lest, therefore, for want of
| an interpreter, the significance of this great
work should be wasted on an unlearned world,
the academy has published pamphlet explain
ing its mysteries. An eagle embroidered in the
new German colors, black, white red and gold,
signifies soaring ambition and unmastered
strength A standing collar and shoulder pieces
of ermine denote the martial Oripin and ,,oiI;torv
character of the empire. Wide and open sleeves
signify dignity and freedom of action, and so on
throughout the numberless details of the cos
tune. Among the accessories gold ring SYM
bolizes the siege of Paris and at the same time
the close of the reign of conquest and military
aggrandzement.
