the rushing multitude and was burned
to death, half of his body extending
out of the window and the other half
within.
1t is doubtless true that many, with
more presence of mind, could have
easily saved themselves; as the galleries
were only eight feet high, it would have
been an easy matter, at the outset, to
crop from them and escape by the rear
door. Hund1 eds who mourned their
friends as lost on Thursday night alter
ward found them safe at home. A lame
girl was taken out by two friends; her
sister, who had been at home, hunted
for her despondingly among the dead,
hearing that some one of the same name
had persisted. At midnight she went
home and found her sister safe and un-
hurt. Amidst the terrible confusion in
side when help first arrived a man
named Gates saw little girl who had
been nearly extricated from the mass of
writhing limps and bodies which we're
piled inside the door; he reached over
and drew out the child almost unhurt.

ANOTHER INSECT PLAGUE.
More About the Buffalo Gnats.

An Atlanta, Ga, paper adds some
thing to our stock of knowledge con-
corning the buffalo gnat, which attacks
every animal it can reach, and especial
~ the deer. Itsays: "These gnats of
the Southwest are very smal-perhaps
about one-half the size of the universal
horse-fy. They come in the air in
countless numbers; the air is full of
them when they appear at all, and their
appearance is always sudden and over
whelming. They forthwith settle upon
every horse, COW, mule, or four-footed
animal in sight. They literally cover
an animal, owing to their immense num-
bers, and the animal that is so attacked,
say at night, will be dead in the morn
ing, and swelled to an enormous size.
Their bite is very poisonous, causing
the wound to tester almost as
soon as made. They attack, as
we have stated, wild and tame ami
mails indifferently, but, singularly, they
have no appetite whatever for human
blood. Their home is in the swamps
and low lands, but this season they have
swarmed out of their ancient malarial
strongholds, and spread themselves over
the hills and elevated plateau. The
Eufaula Times claims that they have
appeared within seven miles of that
city, in one Of the Cowikee bottoms. IF
this be true, we may get call from the
poisonous varmints in this state. If any
one encounters myriad of small JET
black flies, each of them having hump
back or shoulders like the buffalo, then
he may know that the genuine buffalo
gnat has arrived. But fly without a
hump will not be accepted as the deadly
insect from the Mississippi bottoms.
If it should appear, let the ears, tanks,
and other exposed parts of exposed an
imals be well coated with tar or grease,
and if that cannot be done, let fires be
started in the stock lots. The insects
do not relish tar, grease or smoke. .

both thought the horrid denominations
were feasts for the gods.
And not the least curious things in
these cases is that these poor cooks have
sharp eyes for the faults Of the butcher
and the baker. The butcher knows
better than to offer stale or tough chop
to No. 2; and if the baker were to serve
No. l with such, bread as she max es her
self she would refuse to pay for it, en-
tirely unconscious of the reflection she
would thus cast upon herself.
Why do some housekeepers continue,
week after week, month after month,
and year after year, to use raw -four fol-
thick ening?" Would it not be rea.
sonable to suppose that after numbe,
of years-say ten-the raw -four, and
the sickness of the compound, would
suggest to them the possibility of alter
ing their manner of preparing it2
We have suggested but few things
that happened to occur to us, and these
belong to only one branch of housekeep-
ing; but if we were to pursue our in
quiries into other departments we
should be met at every turn with pheno-
mena similar to the above. They indi-
cate the existence in the midst of our
home life of marvels that science has so
far failed to explain, and for which rea-
son can find no law.

In putting on the piece of furniture
she was compelled to tie half of brick

prevent it's spreading out too much.
Sailing down Fourth street, she heard
something Gathering against her shoes,
and discovered to her dismay that the
string attached to the hustle and skirt
had become somewhat loosened, and
the brick was hanging down to her
heels. Ashamed to attract any attention
by stopping to adjust it, she walked on,
apparently uhconcerned, allowing the
brick to rub against her ankles and
bruise them. She had hardly proceed
ed very far, however, before, to her hor-
ror, the string became still more loosen
ed, and the brick was rafting on the
ground and skipping over the pavement
as rapidly as she walked. She ran into
the first inviting store and took off the
hoop, hustle and all. Fortunately she
has discovered her distressing situation
before anybody attention was attracted.

Examination of Foreign Baggage-A Check

Upon Smuggling.
From the N. Y. Advertiser.
Under the gu1se OF baggage" os
tensibly in the hands of passengers, y
measure intended to accommodate
travel degenerated into fragrant abuse,
until at last the customs revenues are
now annually defrauded to a large
amount, and goods are thus surrepti
tiously imported to an enormous extent.
to the detriment of legitimate trade.
This, in connection with other vicious
practices, has received the serious atten-
ton of the Government, and we learn
that the Secretary of the Treasury, after
due consideration, issued an order to
Custom House officers throughout the
country, directing that all new clothing
brought into ports of the United States,
except that which is in actual use as wear
ing apparel, shall pay full rates of duty.
The quantity of clothing" which fire.
quently appears as luggage, is quite
astounding, and the Collector has de-
termined to put stop to this transpar-
ent sham. The silks and laces thus
passed through without payment of
duties have sometimes been equal to
whole stocks in trade.
Passengers take out single trunk
and return with dozen. Ladies have
basted costly laces on their dresses to
preposterous extent, making them
selves parties to payable fraud, and
yet the Custom House Inspector has
felt restrained from interference. Gen
tlemen have provided themselves with
foreign-made suits of clothing sufficient
for years. Nothing is more common
than for ladies contemplating marriage
to get their entire trousseau on the other
side. This is well known to everybody.
The consequence has been great injury
to the importing merchants. Goods of
the finer grades have been introduced,
duty free, to the extent of millions of
dollars. We learn that the revenue au-
thorities have determined to supply a
remedy, and that the new orders re-
ferred to above viii be rigidly enforced
without delay.

THE HOLYOKE DISASTER.
More Painful Incidents of the FIJI

Springfield Sor. N. Y. Herald, 30th
A sad case was that of Joe Richards,
who was in the building with his wife
when the fire was found to be beyond
control. He seized his wife around the
waist and made desperate struggle to
reach the door. He had almost sue
ceeded when sheet of fire struck him
in the face, temporarily binding him.
His wife was torn from his grasp by
the struggling crowd, and blind and
burning, be was pulled out and will re-
cover, but the woman waa burned to a
crisp and was recognized at the morgue
yesterday morning only by a ring on
her finger. Several ladies, not burned,
were made seriously i'll by fright, and
Mrs. John Wilkinson, who lived near the
church. became crazy and raving. The
regular organist of the church was alb
sent and Miss Ida Meunier played for
her. The latter's lover escaped, but
finding that she was yet in the church
turned back to save her and both died
in the flames. She tainted at the COM
mencement of the panic and was after
ward found suffocated by the smoke,
but very little burned OF disfgured.
One man in the gallery saved his wife
and four children by his wonderful pre-
sence of mind. When the panic com
menced he commanded them to stand
perfectly still. Then going to the win
dow he dropped them out one by one,
and thus saved the lives of all with
scarcely any injuries.
A stonecutter, some of whose family
were in the burning house, asked some
friends to put him into window. They
hesitated, and he said if they would not
do SO he should go in through the burn
ing doorway. They finally helped him,
and he was able to save two or three
persons.
Joseph Chattelle, who persisted in at
tempting to save his mother, leaves a
wife and four little children.
Mrs. Marie Roberts. married but a
week ago last Sunday, was burned to
death, while her husband, who was
seated in another part OF the
church. was rescued from amid the
flames by the heroic John Lynch. One
OF the most touching incidents of the
disaster was the death of Mr.. Lepreux,
French Canadian, who but recently
arrived in this country. He saw his
wife surrounded fly the flames, and
taking off his overcoat, rushed to her
rescue and caught her in his arms. but
somehow or other his strength aban-
doned him, and he could not retrace mis-
steps. Both wife and husband, held IN

The Cocoa Tree.

The cocoa tree, SO often COMPOUNDED
with the cocoanut tree, is about equal
to good-sized apple tree; the pot that
encases the bean, of which chocolate is
made, is about tho shape of a lemon,
but three times as large, and is of deep
orange color-the kind called "Carac-
cas-" cocoa is SO deep as to be almost
red. The pods grow on the branches
and on the stem, quite down to the
ground. The branches do not grow low,
SO that looking down cocoa piece Of
ground the vista is like miniature for
est hung with thousands of golden
lamps. Anything more lovely cannot
be imagined; it is perfectly unique.
After the pods are picked they are cut
open with cutlass; the beans, which
are tightly packed together, and from
forty to eighty in number, are dried in
draws IN the sun, after having gone
through process called Sweating"
which is being packed close in a barrel
and covered over. When the cocoa is
thoroughly dried it is put into bags, each
containing $50 pounds, and shipped.

Some Curious Things in HOusek eeping.

Every branch of science, says Serb

Take aD important branch of house
keeping cookery. How inexplicable
are some of the results of culinary
study. A woman with whom we once
lived for time had kept house for
thirty five years, had never had a SER

informed us, ''baked twice week regu-

wonderful thing! By what methods
unfathomable to ordinary reason could
she have avoided in thirty-ive years
practice learning how to make good

how long it should stand to get light,
what temperature the oven should be,
and the proper length of time to bake
it? How could she help doing it right

Capt. James B. Eads has written q

in view of the early improvement of the
mouth of the Mississippi River, and
the cooperation of the citizens of the

mends the establishment of a Brazil
steamship company to be incorporated
in St. Louis. Resolutions were passed
by the board expressive of the para
