Great Fire in New York.
BARNuM's MUSEUM DESTROYED WITH
MOST OF THE ANIMALS.

BARSuM's MUSEUM DESTROYED WITH
MOST OF THE ANIMALS.
A large FIRE occurred in New York on
Tuesday morning at about Al o'clock, in
Barnum's museum and circus. 1t was
first discovered in the roof of the build
ing near where the giraffes we're kept,
and Immediately after all the animals
and birds began bowling and screaching
in terrible manner. Some of the fire.
men who were first on the ground state
that the roars of the animals was some-
thing frightful to listen to during the
short time that it lasted, as they were
speedily put out of their misery by the
rapidity with which the devouring ele-
ment Tapped up the tinder-like structure
in which they were Gagged.
The only animals saved were two ele-
plants and camel. Nothing could be
done to save any more Of the animals,
and the firemen state that they would
sooner risk falling walls any time than
enter that den of wild or tame beasts in
case of this kind
The fire spread and destroyed Grace
church and several blocks and stores be-
fore it was quelled. The total loss is es-
timsted at nearly half million.

HE IMMUNITIEs OF REPoRTERs.-An
interesting case bearing on the rights
and immunities of reporters, has lust
been decided in Chicago. Three report
ers Of city papers were in gambling
house when it was entered by the police,
and were taken into custody with others.
In defence, they claimed that they were
not there as gamsters or as ordinary spec
tators, but in the discharge of their du.
ties. They had heard of the intentions
of the police, and wanted to describe the
descent from actual observation. On
the other hand, one of the officers swore
that he saw one of the reporters hand.
ling some Of the chips used in gamb-
ling. This statement was contradicted
by several witnesses. The justice be-
fore whom the case was tried held that
reporters were valuable public servants.
to whom certain privileges and immuni.
ties were granted by common consent.
They were allowed to 60 where no one
else was admitted. In bis opinion nei-
Their the spirit nor the letter OF. the law
had been violated by the accused, and
he therefore ordered their unconditional
discharge.

state Temperance Convention

The following are the resolutions
adopted by the State Temperance Con
vention, held in this place last week;
Resolved, that in view of the high
vantage ground occupied by Christian
churches, 1t is their duty to stand in the
front rank in all moral reforms, and tc
be especially active In efforts to recover
those who have fallen victims o intern
perance, and to suppress, in every com.
munity, the unlawful sale of intoxicat.
ing drinks.
Reuolued, That while we still have
much to deplore in looking over the in
temperance and the means of perpetu.
ating it in our State, we have great cause
for encouragement and hope from the
interest and vigorous action taken in the
great reform by many of the churches
and various temperance organizations.
ResoLced, That while we do not seek
to compel men to be temperate or relig-
ious, by the power of human law, we re-
joice to know that the principle of en-
forced prohibition is becoming more and
more obvious as the settled policy of
Vermont. and especially as acknowl.
edged by the dominant political party of
the State, at its last State Convention !;
and in the progress made by the last
legislature towards the most thorough
measures for suppressing the common
rum traffic.
RESOLVED, That we harsily cooperate
with the National Temperance Society
in petitioniDg Congress to enact suitable
laws prohibiting the traffic in intoxicat-
ing drinks in the District Of Columbia
and in the Territories of the United
States.
In the evening L. III. Stone read re-
port of his doings as agent for the Socie-
ty, stating the number Of public address
es given, and the total amount collected
by him during the year. A report from
the Treasurer, n Weeks, was read, stat.
ing that no moneys belonging to the So.
ciety, had been placed In his hands du.
ring the year.
In explanation, it was stated that, by a
vote of the executive committee, expen.
ditures, to certain amount, had been
allowed to be made from the collections
also that some further report might be
expected through the treasurer, and the
two reports were referred back for com.
pletion and publication.
1t was voted that the place of holding
the next annual meeting be left to be
determined by the executive committee :
and the meeting adjourned.

The Great DIAMOND swindle.

]
The whole story of the great Diamond
fraud is contained in late San Francisco
papers just received, and the magnitude
of the swindle is shown to be, perhaps,
the greatest ever carried so far with sue
cess, if not the greatest ever undertaken
One Arnold. "a man with dyed whis-
kers and blue eyes, and another in Ii
vidusl named Slack, started the thing
in San Francisco last summer, and in
duceG many men of capital to believe
their story Of existence of untold wealth
in their discovery" in Colorado. Their
specimens stood the test, company
with capital of S10,000,00O was form.
ed, the utmost secrecy was kept in re-
gard to the locality of the mines, and
the whole thing was managed with an
exclusiveness which was very delusive.
But one day in September two old Cali
fornians tracked small party to the
bO1t hho tOoh away lew uidtnUHus
which they managed to find. The stones
were taken to San Francisco and found
TO resemble African diamonds of not
very good quality. The stockholders
had already had their suspicious aroused
by report that two Americans several
months ago, had bought large quanti-
ty of rough diamonds and other gems
in London; and when these two disclos.
ures were put together, and when it was
remembered that all the precious stones
had been taken from one spot, pointed
out by Arnold and Slack, the excitement
ragged high and an investigation was at
once begun. Mr.. Clarence King, the
well-known geologist, and small party
made an examination, the result of
which was certain discovery that nature
had never put the precious stones where
they had been found, but in the words
of Mr.. King, "that some designing
hand had sailed them, with deliberate
fraudulent intent" The exposure of the
swindle was SO long coming about that
Messrs. Arnold and Slack had ample
time to get out of the way before the
thuuder-clap came, and of course did so.
The California men who put their money
into the concern lost about 100000,
and Samuel Barlow, George B. McClel-
Ian and others of New York were vic
timized to the extent of about $4,000

- Another case where ardent spirits

- San Francisco is becoming favor
lite winter resort for eastern people.
Many are now there enjoying its beautl-
tiful winter weather, the hotels are full
and tenements and lodgings are hard to
obtain. The city also reports business
never so large or prosperous as now.
Up to week ago, the season had
been mild and open upon the plains, and
under the Rocky mountains. There was
no snow at Denver at 10 a. M, 18th,
the thermometer was at 60o; and the
season was called an old fashioned win
ter, and was certainly great contrast to
last years.
- Senator Clayton of Arkansas, in a
burst of eloquence, the other day, de-
molished an opponent with this startling
remark; "the honorable gentleman may
deny this allegation, but l can produce
the allegators. Upon being asked what
what he meant by the term allegators
Clayton happily explained that he re-
ferred to the parties who gave him the
information, and said they were gentle
men of the first water.

And on earth. with strains responsive,

And the gladstone, smiling faces,
Happy testimony bear.

Filling all their hearts, this day.
Little children's happy voices,
Rims in parents ears. and tell
How they love the Merry Christmas.
And their little bosom swell.
As they hear again the story
Of the Savior King. who came
Down to earth, nobly dying,
Spread through all the earth His fame,
Little babe in Bethlehem's Manager,
Risen, now, TO dwell above,
Glad is He in children's gladness.
Glad is He of children's love.
But cen this Merry Christmas time,
Does not come with joy to all,
Be some fresides. vacant places,
Saddening memories recall.
And the heart grows sad with longing
For loved voice hushed and still
But to these, God sends His angel
With the message IAN is WELL"
In yon homo of light and glory,
All the dear ones gone before,
Join to day the glad hosanna,
And will sing it, eyermore.
When, our Christmas days here, ended,
Joyous greetings from above,
Call us up to join the chorus,
Ever singing Jesus love.
