rs A correspondent of tho Cincinnati
Enquirer writes the following eulogy
OF . certain hotel at Atlanta, Georgia
It's the largest hotel, l presume, in
fhe world. Many people who 60 up
in the sky parlors to repose never
come down but 60 right ON through to
heaven without change of elevators, az
those who have written back say they
could smell tho hair oil of the clerks
all the way up. The halls are so long
and winding that many of the walters
get Lost while going after: . pitcher OF
water, and are never heard of until
their RENAME are heard Of years after
/ went In there one morning and or
defed breakfast. A email colored boy
took my order, and IL was SO far to
the kitchen that he was grown and
gray-headed when he got back. Il is
q very large house-hotel! Many
travellers going south and returning
by this city order their mGals in ad.
vance, and frequently when they ge
back they have to lay over a week Il
mako. connections. 's& &ta.
The hotel is q very large one, and
everything about it is very large, from
the feet Of the clerks, the mouths of
the walters, mp TO the bills, 1t is pro-
vided with all the modern convenien-
ces, hot and cold water, by windows,
idiots, dirty sheets-everything to
mako traveller happy, including an
undertsker's establishment for the ac-
commodaffon of such boarders as
starve to desth while waiting for tho
walters. lti largo hotel, and every
body stops there just once.

The audience numbered 700 people,
Those in the body Of the church escaped,

mass, struggling to reach the floor, as the
flames rushed toward them.
Many lsaped to the floor, and were

he bled to death in few minutes. Mr.
