Tint Fire.

lloAstadt's illuminating artist,
which entities him to the appellation
Of being the brightest chap in the es-
Enlistment, omitted his customary
caution yesterday afternoon, while
dressing his lamps for the night, and
sat an open can Of oil in too intimate
juXtaposition to light, which he had
burning at the time, in order that he
might the better perform his task.
Alas! for his wandering philosophy
he forgot about the affinity between the
two until aroused by glare
Of fire reflected from be-
hind him, when he turned
TO meet angry tongues of flame, dart
ing like n serpent across the floor and
up to the wall, constantly fed from the
reservoir of blazing can of Kerosene.
In moment the cook was on the spot,
and, with the armamento of great pres.
ence of mind and bucket of water
bursted up the business. But the pres.
enee of the danger got out and the fire
company dashed up promptly and
willingly, but their services were fortu.
nately not needed.
