in pursuit Of health, and he gaYe Miss
B1ackensie every reason to expect to be
his wife. But when he returned to Rome
his first interview with Anna Maria Was terri
ble.; 'The eyes Of the jealous italian flashed
fire, her anger broke ont in CURSES, and she
finally threatened in her desperation that, if he
dared to marry the English woman, she would
kill him, kill her child, and then put m end to
her own wretched life" Thorwaldsen feared

He grew to feel that only affection, and not

so on the last night Of 1878 another Frances, .

scene, and reused in Thorwaldsen a

SECURITY or THE CITY,

To The Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
sR: To render Chicago practically fre-proo
city should be the prime aim Of our municipal
leglslston. Whatever else ne may strive for,
the safety Of the city is, beyond question, the
paramount consideration. We cannot afford to
be burned out second time; nor will such 3
calamity ever happen to us if We have the Wis
dom to take the proper precautions. To rely
upon chance or probability is absurd. That the
city has been once burned is evidence that it
may be burned again.
There is no such thing IS chance. Every event
has its cause.
The great fires that have occurred in Chicago
Boston, and London havo shown conc1usiyely
that the so-cal1ed fre-proof buildings are the
most dangerous, and, when once fully ignited,
are the most difficult to e1tinguish. From their
height, and the confinement Of their walls, they
are suddenly converted into furnaces, develop
ing q degree Of heat which renders them more
unaPproachab1o and more difficult to sub
due than q thousand wooden buildings.
This is fact which hes been but recently dis
covered The danger from incendiarism is
therefore, greatly enhanced. That iron, and
stone, and even brick will burn, has beeu most
1nequiyocal1y demonstrated.
In Boston, not one stone was left unon an
EsA~+AA%%
to dust. It is clear, therefore. that more atten-
elon should be given to tho Internal construction
OF buildings, particularly of those which are
above three stories in height. II the shelving,
for instance, instead Of being of wood as is uni
versally the case, were of some incombustible
material it is evident that the progress Of fire
would be materially retarded. The goods. in
such case, however combustible, could not easily
burn, nor would they be rs likely to be damaged
by water.
Let the law abolish wooden Mansard-roofs
and wooden shelving, and, in my Judgment, the
danger Of a general conlagration would be
largely diminished.
We are just learning the rudiments Of putting |
up large edificeR securely. It is an important !
ecience,-a science that ehould be studied by |
those in authority, and embodied in our laws.
No man should be permitted to erect build |
Ing that threatens bis neighbors, or endangera
the city. Every possible precaution should be-
taken, and without delay It will not do to wait for
smother fire, to teach another lesson. It should
not be possible for another great fire to OCCUR.
II another general corhagration should take
place. it would be-. in large measure owing to
, 1872-12-26

t's." One OF the best specimens of rhodomon-
tade is the following story, which We have not
seen in print: Two men who we're famous for
their vaporing laid q wager as to who could tell
the biggest lie. One said that he WAS in ~ the
mid ocean: far away from land, when he espied
a man swimming. The ship was stopped, and
preparations we're made for taking the man in,
when he cried out, I'm all right, and only want
to knows the latitude and longitude; Tor am
swimming to England" This seemed aufd~
GENTLY improbable, but the other capped it by
asking whether his friend had seen the man
again 7" and being answered in the negative,
said: "Then I am he" British Quarterly.
