CHICAGO BOUND TO DE AHEAD"

An amusing diversion was created by q
tall, well-knit and rather rugged speoi-
men Of humanity, who stood gazing at
the fire with the deepest interest. Every
now and then he would take vigorous
bitc at largo hunk of tobacco apd chew
with an energy that knew no tagging,
but without taking his eyes from the
fire, which appeared to fnscinate him.
AS the flames made Roadway, he moved
uneasily, shifted his weight from one
foot to the other, and chewed with re-
newed animation. Each new building
that fell prey to the fire seemed to
cause him to experience the most
poignant despair. His glance was not
so strongly marked by sympathy as by
anxiety. His eallow jaws seemed to
elongate with every fresh building that
went down. His dress and Appearance
did not betoken man who had any
enormous amount OF property at stake,
and the general impression among those
who observed him was that his alarm
was caused by prospect of losing his
situation. Presently. when the fumes
seemed as though they would eDgulph
the whole city. he turned his pale fnco
from the flames, and addressing party
by his side, exclaimed, with no less
done. The place amt big enough! The
Chicago fire knocked this all to splinters
Yes, it did, tell you. 1 was born there,
and l ought to know. tell you, sir,
Chicago is bound to be ahead on this

to rival Chicago in the matter of fires.
terrible incident of the Boston fire
took place at the furnishing store of
Hickman, on Washington street, whore
the walls had been wrapt in deadly EN-.
brace by the flames, and had become
weak and tottering through the intense
heat. At length they fell, and three
men were buried up to the shoulders
among the heavy fragments of brick and
stone. The terrible physical agony of
their cries of anguish which they suf.
fered, filed the frightened crowd with
horror, but at hrst no one advanced TO
their sucoor. After few moments, two
or three mon crossed the street to where
portion of the wall was still overhang-
ing tho spot where the poor victims were
begging and shrieking for help, and
tried by the utmost exertion OF main
strength to pull and wrench them out of
the horrible vice, but these efforts only
made greater their sufferings, aud the
bricks and debris were still falling at
every moment. The men rclinquished
the perilons and frutless risk, and ro-
treated from the dangerous spot; and
shortly afterwards, in frightful parox-
ysms OF pain and with cries that will
ring in the ears of many of the speota-
tors to their dying day, the crushed
masses OF humanity gave up the breath
OF life, and were momeut afterwards
buried by another crashing fall of the
wall. It is known that thirty lives have
been lost.

At length q duelist has been found
guilty and sent to prison in France.
Justice selected victim in the person
Of Geo. Bibesco, son Of the last reigning
prince Of Wallachia. His antagonist
was the Prince de Beauffremont; The
parties were related by the marriage OF
Bihesco' brother TO a sister OF the prince,
and the dissolution of this marriage by
divorce court led to the. challenge,
Prince de Beauffremont, who was the
challenged party, chose cavalry sabres.
After few passes, he received slight
wound and the seconds interfered and
would not permit the affair to proceed,
Bibesco was soon afterward arrested for
"cutting and manning. The usage in
such cases has been for the other party
to appear before the court and say that
he was the aggressor, thereby securing
immunity to his antagonist, but Beaut-
fremont was not quite up to that stand
ard of chivalry, and he kept away and
let the trial go on. Bibesco was con;
yicted and sentenced to fifteen days
Imprisonment. There is a good deal Of
indignation felt at this result, for while
Frenchmen have always escaped punish
ment for this offence, the court made an
example of foreigner who fought nobly
for France throughout the late war.

M EDICAL.
ALcOHOLIzED ARNICA,
Prepared by the RR. FF. Trappists,
Monastery Of NOtre Dame DIES
Neiges, Ardeche, France.

A RNIcA, AS USUALLY SOLD IN THIS
"A country, is manufactured from the dried
flowers, which, as may be imagined, must
have lost much of their original strength
during the process of desication. The Trap
pist Fathers. having the facility of preparing
their Alcoholized Arnica on the spot where
the plant grows naturally, and at the moment
of poisoning when u contains all its active
properties, are thereby enabled 10 offer q.
remedy which surpasees anything of its kind
that can be had in this country.
Wherever their Arnica has been tried it has
been held in great demand. 1t may be we'll
10 state that besides The advantage resulting
from the use of this remedy, the purchase Of
the same Is great act of charity, as thus an
assistance is afforded TO the poor religious
who depend chiefly on this resource for subsist-
ence. The misfortunes which befell the princi-
pal cities Of France are we'll known; the good
have suffered as well as the wicked; and the
monks Of la IrGppe who sHbsisted chiefly on
which we can procure for them.
The Rev. Francis D'Assise, one Of the Trap
pist Fathers Of NOtre Dame des Neiges. Is
now In the city. and offers his remedy to the
citizens Of Memphis. Being DESTROYS Of
having an agency through which the medics-
ment will be handed 70 our citizens without
fear Of being adulterated, he has succeeded
in securing the Christian Brothers as agents
for the sale Of their Arnica. 80 - ~
