The Telegraph bitterly complains that /:
Though the City Councils ought to protect the
city they are more apt to be the dupes, slaves,

masters.
The Ledger feels encouraged about the Con-
tenial and says that it is now in the hands of the

The IntcrnationaI Peace JublIee.

The Boston Traveller furnishes some further
information in regard to the great Jubilee. Up
to date one hundred and twonty-four choral So
cieties have signifed their intention of taking
part in the exercises.
Seven of the most difficult choruses to be
sung at the Jubilee have been printed for dis
tribution among the singers, and copies will be
forwarded to the societies as soon as possible.
The seven pieces Of music comprise some TWEEN
ty-five pages, and are as follows Two chorals
from Bach's Passion Music - Commit Thy
Ways and Now may the will of God chorus
from Mendelsshons st. Paul - See what love
hath the Father chorus Of Levites-' o We kin
dreds of the People, from Costa's Eli the
triumphal march, with chorus and SOLO With
sheathed swords and bows unstrung,' from the
same work chorus from Handels Messiah -
All we like sheep have gone astray chorus Of
the people from Mendelsshons Elijah - Yet
doth the Lord Tho rest of the music will be
got in readiness as soon as possible,
at is the design of the builders of the great
organ to make this the most magnificent organ
on this continent and perhaps in the world.
Besides possessing immense and unheard of
power, it will also have fine solo effects, and
even delicate effects, so that it can be made an
instrument for organ solos, and give the multi
tude who attend the great festival an opportu-
nifty of hearing the best organists of the country
in the various style of organ playing and COM

lgE Tal-- PHILADELPHIA, March 5.
The smallpox has made its appearance on
board of tile U. s. Frigate, Po,ohataa, now in
commission at the Philadelphia Navy Ya-G. A
number of the marines and sailors have been
removed to the city hospital. The disease first
appeared in the marine barracks.
The fire is still smouldering on the eighth
story Of the Chestnut street front of Jayne's
Building, but is controlled by the fremen, and
the lower floors are SO drenched with water and
sheeted with ice that further damage is impossi-
BILE.
The granite front, on Chestnut street, is not
at all damaged. On Carter street, the two up
per stories of the front fell into the cartway and
a large number of telegraph wires belonging 10
the Franklin line were broken down and enyei-
oped with ice to the dimension of cables, and
appear, as they hang, like supports for chain
bridge.
All the adjacent buildings are sheeted with ice
and the present scene should be preserved by
the aid of Photographer.
The damage to the stock of the occupants of
the main building is very serious, but those oc-
cupying the wings on Chestnut street have sus-
tanned in considerable losses, their goods being
mainly protected from damager by the activity
of the insurance patrol in covering them with
tarpaulins. ..s
Several reports prevail of firemen being buried
by the falling Of the front on Carter street, but
they cannot be traced to any reliable source.
The building was insured for about eighty thouL-
and dollars, which will cover the cost of its re-
storation.

school separation.

SAD COMMENTARY UPON THE DELAWARE SYSTEM.
The citizens of Dover Hundred, Kent county,
and of Caroline county, (Md.,) have, for several
years, conformity, been conducting a public
school in Delaware, just over the State line, and
near Marydel. Last week the Caroline County
School Board, in compliance with the petition Of
the citizens of Marydel and vicinity determined
upon separation and will build for themselves a
school building in the town.
The petitioners set forth in their prayer that
tile Delaware system is inefficient, and that the
school is not kept open a sufficient length Of
time during the year.
The action thus taken, coupled with knowI-
edge of the fact that the sohools are now closed
in many places in tho State Tor lack of funds to
keep them open, is a sad commentary upon our
school system, an incOntrovertable evidence that
it is radically defective and wrong, and a potent
appeal to the managers" for reform. Is there

FIRST PERFORMANCE OF MRS. BOWERS AND HER
COMPANY.
very good audience, defying the wintry
blasts the threatening skies, and the icy pave
ments, assembled at the Opera House, last even
ing The play was Lady Audley's Secret, dra-
matisation Of Miss Braddon's celebrated novel,
Mrs. Bowers and Mr.. Mcoollom taking the
leading parts of Lady AudIey and Robert AudIey
The novel and the play are alike ''sensational'
in their plot. The leading figure il heantlfnl
but cold, cruel, and wicked woman, OF class
which, fortunately, are seldom encountered out
side Of the pages Of high pressure hctlon. Inc
character Of this woman Mrs. Bowers strongly
presents, and she is well supported by mr
McCollom, who, in justice to the memory of his
friend, ,sternly and determinedly tracks down the
female assassin, the Lady herself.
We confess that, having no taste for the Brad
don school OF literature, we cannot ind enthusl-
asm to warm our praises OF the performance
which, in the main, was good throughout. Mr.
Il. X. Dalton, as the stereotyped ruinan, ana
black-mailer, who knows the " mystery, played
well, as usual, and Miss Virginia Howard, (AIce
Audley) has fine figure, striking face, and
degree of talent which strengthens the Company.
Tonight, the play is Bulwers standard drama
The Lady of Lyons. II is of by far better sort
than Lady Audley's Secret, and we look for a fine
performance, especially by Mr.. McCollum, whose
opportunities are vastly greater.

an artist not to be well received and his deline-
alton of Sir Giles 0geTTedch is now one OF his
most famous performances. For forty,three
nights, continuously, he presented it, in Phila-
adelphia, to crowded houses, and while he has
won the highest encomiums in other parts, this
character has secured him the widest fame at
an artist. The Philadelphia Telegraph declares
that '' his Sir Giles must take its place beside

can stage can equal

DESTRUCTION OF DIR. JAyNE's BUILDING

DESTRUCTION OF DIR. JAYNE's BUILDING.
few minutes after nine o'clock last evening
fire was discovered in the extensive eight
story granite building of DIR. JAYNE on Chestnut
street, below Third. ard the alarm being given
the neighboring firemen were promptly on the
ground.
The fire originated on the third floor, which,
as well as the fourth. ID in the occupancy of Mr.
Joseph Il. Carpenter, manufacturer of revenue
stamps. II began in the rear portion of the
building, the Carter street front, and extended
upwards to the roof, passing in its way through
Mr. Carpenters entire establishment, on the
third and fourth floors, the fifth story, occupied
in part by Martin Newman, engraver, and the
printing and packing rooms of Messrs. Eben c.
Jayne and John X. Walker manufacturers of
DIR. Jayne's family medicines.
These parties are all burned out, and 1Iessrs.
Wemwag Il Bro dry goods merchants who oc-
cupied the second floor, were much damaged.
The first floor was the great Jayne drug store
and was injured by water.
The building has front of about forty feet
and extends to Carter street, distance of over
two hundred feet. 1t was eight stories in height,
and both fronts were heavy blocks of granite

tial 1t was built by the late Solomon X HoXie
at cost of over half million of dollars and
has been prominent object and one OF the first
ediices seen on the approach to the city. In its
construction DIR. Jayne took especial pains to
guard against fire, and provide means for its
extinguishment. Provision was made for flood
ing the floors, but in the confusion that ensued
last evening it was not done. A steam engine
was placed in the cellar, and the building was
supplied with an abundance of hose. None of
it was made use Of.
The dremen labored under much disadvantage
by reason of the coldness of the weather, which
froze the water as it fell upon their equipments
completely coating them with ice. The great
height of the building was another obstacle in
the way of reaching the fire.
About half past twelve o'clock, the flames
were got under control, by the firemen, though
the cupoa, and upper stories continued to burn,
and the roof afterward fell in,

The Salisbury Adcertiser says. All Maryland
ers interested in the fishing business on the
Nanticoke river are very much exercised over a
law passed by the last Delaware Legislature,
prohibiting the fishing in Delaware waters of any
people from other States. Our friends maintain
that it is unjust, inasmuch as the Delawareans
can go down the Nanticoke in Maryland waters
and take fish, while they are compelled TO keep
strictly within their own limits. Therefore they
are agitating the question of having retaliatory
law passed by the Maryland Legislature. Like
