The Vice of the Age.

A lively sermon on the Vice of the
Age" was preached in st. Louis ON Sun
day last by Rev. DIR. Holland, of that
city, and in the course of his remarks
he said: "The middle classes spend
their income in keeping up false APP
pearances They, too, must wear dove
coiored pataloons and shiny boots.
They must wear diamond studs and
seal rings, and carry young ladies to
the opera in hired carriages at the rate
of three hours use for three days
wages. They must take turn now
and then at billiards, stand treat to the
cocktails, but upon their veraciiy
when called in question, and last of all,
least they should be deemed timid,
must demonstrate their nerve by
i" fighting The tiger" until it claws the
last dime out of their pockets, and
claws lasting scratches upon their

ascertain its condition and the practi-
cability of its removal. At that time
it was exposed and easily examined.
1t was found that the angles of the

obliterated, and it was considered not

1t has since been covered up by the

: ''The only way to remove it would
be that adopted by the French in the
case of the Luxor Monolith (now in

removing part of the wall of the forth

be built round it as it lies, and thus

The People Of an Arkansas Town
Startled.
The Fayetteville (Ark.) Ne,Us says:

The Fayetteville ARK Ne,cs says:
About twelve miles south of Hunts
vile, Madison county, on the 9th inst. I,
occurred the most wonderful and start
ling phenomenon that has ever been
Witnessed by the citizens of that neigh
borhood. Near the farm of Captain
Smith, sheriff of the county, some of
the citizens were startled by o frightful
noise, like the rushing of mighty
cannon ball through the air. On look
ing up, they discovered something that
looked like solid column of fire pass
ing with tremendous velocity through
the air, with whirring, kissing sound,
something like that of a shell, urinary
times louder. 1t appeared to be from
eight to ten feet in length, and from
four to five feet in diameter, but it was
passing with such swiftness that it may
have been many times larger than it
appeared. When first discovered it
seemed to be several hundred feet above
the earth, and was inclining in its
course toward the ground, profusely
emitting large sparks of fire. About a
minute or two after it passed out of
sight an awful explosion was heard.
that shook the earth for miles around,
and was heard at distance of fifteen
miles.

The Boston and Chicago Fires.

In.comparing the Boston and Chicago
fires, the following details of the latter
will prove interesting The Chicago
fire began at 9 O'Clock Sunday evening,
October 8, 1871, and burned till mid
night Monday, lasting q hours. The
value of the property destroyed, inclu-
ding buildings, merchandise and house
hold property, was 1898, 900, 900. The
fire burned over an area of about four
miles in length and an average of two>
thirds of mile in breadth, destroying
17,450 buildings, and rendering $1,000
persons houseless. The property des-
troyed was insured for 800, 000, 900, the
LOSSES claimed amounting to about
81, 600, 900 less. OF the sum due, $751;
600, 900 has been paid, and there is a
fair prospect of Sl2,00O,0OO more, if
some companies are not overwhelmed
by the great fire at Boston. The loss
of life was happily small in Chicago,
and the generosity of the world enabled
the local committees to disburse more
than 81, 100000 in relief.
