DR.. De KOvCn'S chances Of becem-
ing Il Bishop in the Episcopal Church
are not encouraging. An eminent
scholar and a amiable, pure gentle
man, respected personally wherever
known, his views on the Eucharist"
approach so near to the church of
Rome, that it is deemed unwise to
approve, of his recent election. Con-
sequently, the standing committees
of the Episcopal dioceses are not ap-
proving of his election. There are
in the United States forty-fve do
eeses, and it requires the approval of
twenty-threc of these to confirm his
election. Eighteen have already
voted against him, and only nine in
his favor.

SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1875.

According to accounts from Port
au-PEince, received yesterday, the
r Ore which occurred at that place on
February 18th was still more diSas-
trous than The telegraph announced.
The entire northern portion of the
city was swept by the flames. Four
hundred houses were consumed, and
the loss 10 property Is estimated at
two million dollars. The property
vas chiefly owned by foreign resi-
dents, composed OF EngIishmen,
Hollanders, Germans, F~renehmen,
and a few Americans, and was in
sured in companies in Europe, mostly
in Amsterdam, where the loss falls
very heavily no American com
panies lost anything by the fire.
The combustible nature Of the struc-
lures and high wind caused the
flames TO spread with great rnpidity.
In seven hours from the time of the
breaking out of the fire, a space of
about one-hnlf a mite square had
been covered by the flames. BY
blowing up buildings and leaving
nothing for the fire to feed upon it
vas finally stopped. j. b. Hepburn,
an American merchant, lost his life.
He had rescusG his wife and chill
dren, and went back into his bazaar
to endeavor TO save some of his
goods, while there he was surrounded
by the flames and unable to escape.
His dead body was found after the
fire in the well in the rear of the
store.

what to Do with Fram5ps. Tram 5.

! Tho authorities Of q city have sent
circular to the authorities Of other
cities, requesting them to meet in con-
yention to discuss the proper treat
ment Of tramps. Referring to this
an exchange adds The evil is sc
large and SO universally diilused, that
the action Of town or State authorities
CAN alone grapple with it successfully,
and the effort now being made to Sc
cure uniform municipal legislation in
the matter is a wise and necessary
one.
What is needed is to set tramps at
work. No doubt, there is occasionally
an honest an, industrious man who
bcconfes tramp because he cannot
find work. Itwould be hard to refuse
such a man the temporary relief
which he Sc ;ely needs, but indiscrimi-
nate private charity encourages n
score of idle vngrants where it relieves
one real case Of suffering. The hon
est tramp will gladly pay Cor food and
lodging by work, and the lazy tramp,
who discovers that he can no longer
live Oh charity, will find the charm Of
profession gone. Let US have, i'll
every town, Il relief committee of the
town officials, who will turn no man
away hungry, but who will require
tramps to work out the full value of
what they receive. In this way the
tramp nuisance .can be speedily abol-
ishcd, houscholdcrs can be saved from
annoyance and danger, while no in
justice will be done 70 tho deserving
poor. The experiment has been en-
tirely successful. The uniform. .action
Of all the towns in the country, now
ever, is needed before The tramp nui-
sancc can be finally and cflectually
suppressed,

Where the Sun Does Mot Set.

A scene witnessed by some travellers
i'll the north Of Norway, from cliff
elevated thousand feet above the sen,
is thus described:
at our feet the ocean stretched
away i'll silent vastncss; the sound OF
its waves scarcely reached our airy
lookout; away i'll the north, thchuge
old sun swung low along the horizon,
like the slow beat Of the pendulum in
the tall clock of our grandfather's
parlor corner. We all stood silent,
looking at our watches. When both
hands came together at twelve, mid
night, the full round orb hung
triumphantly above the waves, a
bridge Of gold running due, north
panping the water between us aud
him. There he shone in silent majes-
ty, which,. &.knew no setting we
involuntarily took off our hats; no
word was said. Combine. if you can,
the most brilliant sunrise ond sunset
you ever saw, and tho beauties will
pale before the gorgeous coloring
which now lit UP the ocean, heaven
and mountain. In half M hour the
sun had swung up perceptibly OH his
beat, the colors changed to those OF
morning, a fresh breeze ripplcd ovcr
the food. one songster after another
pipcd up in the grove behind us-we
had slid into another day: 4 4 FIJI

thus described: 4 The last meeting be.
tween President Grant md Vice-P -Presi
dent Wilson. was on the day after the
Vice-President was originally attack.
ed -Thursdny, Nov. 18th. The Presi-
dent, much to the Surprise Of many
who had supposed that Mr.. Wilson'S
outspoken utterances on the third
term question and his criticism Of
some of the Presidents official acts
had seriously impaired the friendly
relations which had previously existed
between them, visited the Vice Prcsi-
dent ut his room at tile Capitol, He
was met by Dr. Baxter, who, pre-
ccding him, said to Mr.. Wilson.
sNIr. Vice-Presidont, the President
has come to see you a.i ts
Mr. Wilson, with great effort, par
TALLY raised himself on his elbows in
the bed, when the Prcsi dent advancing
extended his ham,, which Mr.. Wilson
grasped, the President saying:
'Wcll, how is the Vice President ?
am very sorry to find you ill.,
The xyice- President replied: .How
do you do, Mr.. President an glad
to see your I am feeling somewhat
easier to-day
The President, who had meanwhile
taken seat by the bed, then Said
tHow did this come about? When
wore you attacked? | just arrived
from New York this morning.
The Vice Prcsidenr then proceeded
to narrate with considerable particu-
larity, but i'll a low, feeble voice, the
manner i'll which he was seized in the
Senate barber shop afecr taking n
warm bath, and told how, when in
New York, he underwent severe
surgical operation, The searing efthe
flesh over. his spinal column between
the shoulders with white heated
iron, and added: i imagine the opcr-
alton had something TO do with my
present prostration. Don't you,
doctorY
oh, no. replied Dr.. Baxter; it will
undoubtedly have very beneficial
effect. The Immediate cause was the
warm bath, which it was very impru-
dent in you to take, ] fear Hc adj
ded, pleasantly turning to the Prcsi-
dent, The Nicc-Presilen ate too many
good dinners in New York:
Conversation then turncl on the
Presidents visit to, New York. He
stated that. he went there with Mrs
Grant, who wanted, 70 do some shop
ping, aud that his; visit wns one OF
business merely. He referred to the
weather in New York as very fine.
A pause ensuing III the conversation.
the Vice President asked do you
hear from Nellie (ncaning Mrs. Sar-
torisJ 'olten?'
oh, yes replied the President.
'lIcr mother gets letter almost oycry
week by every steamer. She writes
long md very interesting letters. She
writes with great facility
The President remained about fic-
teen minutes, when, taking up his
hatand rising, he said:
I hope you will be better soon, Mr..
Vice. President. I will come up again
this evening or send up to see howy you
arc getting along
