New years Eve.

In not many homes did the bells tina,
ring out the old ring in the new sound
more cheerily than in the Woodsfeld
Parsonage home New Years Eve. The
good friends whose beaming faces made
the darkness light, and whose gifts
loaded the tables, will hardly ever know
bow they touched the hearts of those
who must here pitch but as"moving

the gifts, rejoice most in the regard tina,

A most distressing accident happened
in GraysviIIe on Christmas day to son
of Mr.. JoHN BoorH, Of Greenbrier, Per-

the act of feeding the horse he bad just
driven to town, when tile animal kicked
WITH all It's force, striking Mr. BoorH in
the mouth with one Of its heavy shoes,
the long, sharp iron cork tearing out
nearly all OF the teeth of the lower jaw
and carrying away part OF the jaw itself.
A more frightful wound could scarcely
be conceived. Medical attendance was

Another Heavy chicago Fire.

Chicago had another large fire on the
18th. The total loss by the fire is estima-
ted from S250,000 to $500, 900. The num-
Der of buildings destroyed is sixty-four,
only one of which (the packing-honse of
Richard NJ. Oliver d Co. was of brick, the
remainder being wooden, from one to three
stories high, and occupried mainly as resi-
dences and stores or shops and dwellings
combined.
Immense crowds of people rushed to the
vicinity OF the confagration when the gem
eral alarm was struck, and the excitement
was very great, many fearing a repetition
of the terrible calamity of October, 1871.
Down town the widest runors prevailed,
and people two miles distant from the
fire shared in the panic of those in the i'm
medsate neighborhood. This excitement
and alarm was scarcely TO be wondered at.
As has been previously stated, the wind
was blowing half gale from the south
west, changing after the fire had been I'M
der Roadway half an hour, to nearly due
south, while directly in the line of the
flames Stood thickly, the same kind of
buildings which, two years ago, formed
the line that fed the fiery tempest to the
destruction of the city. Insurance offices
were thronged with applicants for policies,
but the agents generally felt impelled TO
put their customers off until tomorrow.

Apropos of the present discussion of
- Caesarism " is the following definition of
the origin of Julius: 4" Julius Cpsar-An
ancient Roman of celebrity. He advertis-
ed TO the effect that he would rather be
first at Rome than second at a small village.
He was a man of great muscular strength.
Upon one occasion he threw whole army
across the Rubicon. A general named
Pompey met him in what was called the
tented field but Pompey couldn't hold a
Roman candle to Julius. We are assured,
upon the authority of Patrick Henry, that
Cesar had his Brutus.' The unbiased
reader of history, however, will conclude
that, on the contrary, Brutus rather had
Cesar. This Brutus never struck me as
being an Unpleasant man to meet but he
did Cesar. After addressing a few oral
remarks to Brutus in the Latin language,
Cesar expired. His subsequent career is
without interest. Cesar was bald, which
Grant is not, and wore a lacural fly brush
to conceal the billiard ball which he called
a head.

Fred Douglass in q Louisville and Nashville

Fred Douglass in his speech in the EX-

night to an immense crowd said:
But the other day, when leaving Louis

of people Of his color. He had seated him
self comfortably after carefully slowing
away the baggage, and did not care to leave

not leave. All eyes were turned toward
him, and he felt rather embarrassed, and

in old shabby torn clothes, and If there
had been anything offensive abeut him,
then he would certainly have gone into
another car, but rs he was clothed decent
~ and washed clean, he concluded that
there was nothing very offensive about him
and he staid where he was. 1t would no
doubt be thought strange of his riding
through the city in buggy with Colonel
Prosser, but if he had been Colonel Pros
ser's servant. nothing would have been
said, and people would not have looked at
him in such a strange manner. They
could 90 into the finest drawing rooms in

they went there as a friend or invited
guest, some objections against his color
would surely be made.
