FNSU FIRING LETTERS.

: great 'nmy people III this country
ar" SIiancfaliy Negligent about answer
ing letters. Nothing is more annoying.
In EUROPEAN countries it is regarded as
the height OF ilI-brceding TO allow a let
ter which needs Il reply to 90 unan-
swcred, and so it ought 70 I've considered
here. This is 4 point on which parents
should lay great stress to their children.
They should be taught to consider it as
rude not to reply to a letter which needs
attention as to hand fork with the prong
end. The busiest people are generally
those who are the most exact III this re-
spcct. The late Duke of Wellington,
who, it Will be admitted, had a good deal
ON his hands ut different times of his life,
replied to every letter, no matter from
how humble Il source. Once a clergy
man, who lived Ill Il distant part OF the
kingdom, wrote to his grace, on whom
neither he nor his parish had Il shadow
eli claim, to beg for a subscription to re-
build Il church. BY return OF mail came
back a letter from the Duke to the effect
that he really could not see why in the
world he should have been applied to for
such an object but the parson sold the
letter as an autograph for g, and put
the Duke down for that amount among
the subscribers.

the Burning of " thurch at So"th hot
YOE", Mass.
The French Catholic Church at South HOl-
woke. Mass. was the scene Of Il dreadful
calamity last week. The draperies Of the altar
caught fire from acandle, which quickly spread,
and a dreadful loss of life ensued. Those who
were not roasted in the flames were trampled
to death by the struggling mass making for the
door. At least seventy-Iiye people lost their
lives on this sad occasion.
The exercises lad nearly closed when Tie
flame from a candle caught the drapery around
tile statue of the Virgin Mary. streamed up and
caught the building. Immediately a panic ell
sued, and people rushed for doors. There was
but one entrance TO tine gallery. and that from
the front on the stairway leading from the
gallery. Tie people were packed i'll a solid
mass. struggling 10 clear themselves AZ the
flames rushed III that direction. and this soon
became blocked. rendering exit impossible.
Many jumped over the sides of the galleries Oh
the crowd beneath. and were trampled OH and
killed.
The priests residence joins the church on the
rear. and many escaped through All entrance
leading 10 the house back of the altar. The
priests c~xertions to keep order were ~frUitless.
The screams of the living and the moaIo of the
DIVING made a deafening tumult above the orders
of the pastor, who worked most heroically and
was personally instrumental i'll saving many
lives.
one family Of four were in tine church, and
ali We're killed Many were pulled ont by the
arms ana feet. 80 badly burned that they lived
but a few hours, the flesh peelimg of on being
touched. Some were taken out with scarcely
any ticrh remaining on their bones.

their quarters to the house where

alleging that the rooms where they we're stop

offered to give them a camp and tent and food.
