TERRIBLE FIRE!
BOSTON in Ashes !
Seventy Acres in the Heart
Of the City Destroyed.

The city of Boston, like Chicago, has
fallen victim to the fire fend. Fifteen
months ago the metropolis of the West
was laid low in ashes, and to-day the Ath-
ems of America has met the same fate.
At 7:3Q p. IN. on Saturday, the 9th inst,
fire was seen to break out in the Mansard
roof of five story granite block, and
made such Roadway in so short time
that it was impossible for the fire depart
ment to effect anything whatever. The
fire ragged till midday OH Sunday without
any intermission, destroying the most val
liable part of Boston.
Hundreds of the most magnificent
buildings on this continent. nave been de-
stroyed in day. Over seventy acres in
the very heart Of the city is destroyed
and now lays in ashes. 1t is impossible
to estimate the damage. AT this season
of the year all the warehouses were, Of
course, full almost to overlooking. with
both foreign and domestic goods, the NOV
ing of which had been considerably re-
tarded for the past few weeks On account
of the distemper among the horses.
Nearly one fourth of the city has been
destroyed, ard the losses will reach $780,
100000, with an insurance Of only about
$l2,0OO,000 Besides the loss of property
many of the citizens are reported killed,
burned and injured. Nearly all the boot
and shoe establishments have been totally
destroyed, and it is impossible to estimate
the loss.
Though this is O most terrible calamity,
yet it is hoped that the loss of property
will not produce disastrous financial cri-
sis. 1t will depress certain interests and
business, but the sister cities are already
furnishing capital for the sufferers, the
foremost Of which is Chicago, who is not
fOrgetful of the succor she received in the
hour of her need.

Men who Win Women.

God has so made the sexes that wo-
men, like children, cling to men, lean
upon them as though they were super
Tor in mind and body. They make
them the suns of their systems, and
make their children revolve around
them. Men are Gods if they but knew
it, and women burn incense at their
shrines, Women, therefore who
have good minds and pure hearts want
men to lean upon. Think of their
revsreneing a drunkard, liar or IL
bertine. If a man would have a wo-
man do him homage he must be manly
in every sense a true gentleman, not
after tho Chesterfield school, but polite
because his heart is full of kindness
to all one who treats her with respect
even Difference, because she is woman
who never condescends to say silly
things to her who brings her up
to his level, if his mind is above hers
who is never over anxious to please but
always anxious to do right; who has
no time to be frivolous with her. Al
ways dignifsd in speech and act; who
never spends too much upon her: ne
YER yields to temptation, even if she
puts itin his way that is ambitious to
make his mark in the world, whether
she encourages him or not; who is
never familiar with her to the extent
of being an adopted brother or cousin;
who il not oyer.careful in dress ; al
ways pleasant and considerate, but al
ways keeping his place Of the man, the
head, and never loosing it. Such de-
partment, with noble principles, a
good mind, energy'and industry, will
win any woman in the world who is
worth winning.

New YORK, April philadelphia papers
have details of the terrible injuries sus-
tanned yesterday afternoon by Joseph
Whittle, lion tanner in O'Brien's circus.
About P. NJ. Whittle entered the cage of
strange lion and commenced the training
exercise, and soon proceeded to insert his
head in the animals mouth. Suddenly the
lion ioared and closed its jaws upon the
man. He screamed with agony, and blood
spurted from his wounds and trickled from
the mouth OF the beast, who still main
tanned his deadly grasp. Whittle used his
performing whit, with all the energy left
him. and dashed the lion until it released it's
hold and skunk into q corner of its den,
where it lay licking it's lips and growing.
BY this time another attache had seized
fork used in training tie elephant, and ran
to Whites assistance. This was an oppor-
tunity for his escape; but the trainer, with
reckless courage. determined to conquer the
brute or die, and advancing upon him,
rained upon lis head a shower OF blows
with loaded whip. For while the lien
was cowed but suddenly launched himself
into the air and bore the trainer to the
earth, Selling him by the thigh and crush
ing the bones and flesh into jelly. The man
with an iron prong goaded the animal, and
finally drove him CT the PROSTATE Nhittle,
whom he then pulled from the cage through
the sliding door. White is thought to be
fatally mangled.

the regenerating influences OF the Holy
Ghost. During ten weeks, commencing
January /, religious meetings have been
held in the bethel every evening, and God
has granted US goodly number of hopeful
conversions. From thence TO the present

come in the mud and chills of January to
where we are not allowed to have a fire,
and where there is not the least attraction
except plain and pointed preaching, and
proclaim their purpose to reform their
habits and live Christian life, it is folly to
deny that there is an influence moving in

and that is not of man.

and thus kept from countless snares and in
dulgences. Many hundred letters have
been written there, and tens of thousands
of pages of religious publications have been
distributed from thence.
The number CT seamen who have signed
the temperance pledge during the quarter
is a little over one hundred. The Mission
Sabbath School, notwithstanding uncalled-
for obstacles, has continued, and will doubt
less continue to prosper.
But these labors are carried on at present
at great disadvantage for the want of an
appropriate Sailors Home and Bethel.
This commercial metropolis of the South
west, whose annual clearances amount to
1,GSl ,223 tons, requiring 2236 vessels and
az .912 seanen, has not an available Sailors
Home or Bethel of any description, except
the hired building in the Third District.
