We greet you. dear friends, when silvery hair
Encircles the brow. with its lines of care.
With deeper affection. and more of pride.
Than when you were hailed us bridegroom and
bride.
We greet you as husband and wife. who prove
The beauty. and wealth of unailing love.
And two generations Of children come.
To bless you. amid the delights Of home.
We greet you tonight. and remember too.
The unchang:ng purpose you've had in view.
OF pleading the cause of Saviour, and Friend.
And of faltering not, until life should end.
The time is coming. when all shall be clear.
Which puzzles the soul in its blindness here;
When sorrows of earth. and despair of time.
viii be hidden, and lost in light sublime.
When Christ the Redeemer will surely come.
To welcome his faithful servants home.

Heavy ribbed black silks are
very fashionable this winter.
House dresses Of silk are to be

Madame De Lobo, wife Of the

The fashionable style Of dress
ing the hair is In puffs. Less false
hair is required for which the- la
dies ought to be very thankful.
Long shawls of black cashmere
trimmed with lace and rows Of
beads down the back are very
stylish and very fashionable.

RUSSIAN CHILDREN.
A great many Russians come
here, and some are here now. 1
have just come from dinner where
were four little tots at table near
me. They were the children Of a
Russian Count, Each child had s
nurse, and there is a goyerness to
take care of all. I should think
the mother would be relieved of
small portion Of the care by so
much assistance. The children's
hair was combed straight down on
all sides, and was cut squarely just
above the eyebrows around to the
ears; around the back Of the head,
from ear to ear, the hair has its
natural length. l heard the gov
erness converse in Russia, French,
English and German while at the
table. An the Russians of quality
are taught these four languages
from the cradle and most of their
conversation is il French. Their
own language is so difficult that
they can lean others very easily.
They have thirty-six letters in their
alphabet. Some of them which
have the form Of ours have a differ
ent power. For instance, their P
is our R, their H is our N.

SERVED HER RIeHr.-Just as
she was about to take the seat he
offered her in the street car, she
said snappishly: "If there were
any gentlemen here they would
not allow lady to go the whole
length of the car before offering
her seat. Then the brutal man
slid quickly back to his seat and
quietly remarked; 81 think the

1 have given up the idea of
crossing the st. Gotham to Italy,

my intention. 1 was compelled to

l went to the Gorge of TRENT;
a long cleft in the mountains, 500
feet high, in which the torrent has
followed out curious chambers
and winding passages, very grand
and wonderful to look upon, but
having pone of the yerdure and
trimmings of moss thatI saw at
Diozas. l also went to see the
Cascade of the Sallances, or, as
they call it here, Pissevache Gas
eade. It has . fall of about 200
feet, and is Of considerable size
and beauty. / went up a pre-
pared path to a grottO behind the
cascade, 50 that / could look

1 have also visited the Castle Of
Chillon, made immortal by Byron.

mary about the story. In the
dungeon / saw the iron ring to
which Bonivard was chained, and

pleasant way of spending ones time.
Lord S. therefore offered him $4,000
if he would submit to solitary confine-
ment for ten years. The offer was &C
cepted. and Hastings entered a dark
cell, fifteen by ten feet in size, and
remained there until few days since,
when the ten years having expired, he
was released. During his confinement,
he was provided with candles and
books and plenty of food. He is now
thirty-tiye years of age, but looks like

DETAILS OF THE FIRE.

and People Homeless. Oregin OF



,the Fire.
The great fire which swept through
Virginia City yesterday end left over
half the city in smsuldering ruins,
originated about half past five in the
morning in a oae story clearinghouse
ION the east side of A street, be-
tween Taylor and Union. The
place Was kept by woman
known as Crazy Kate. A
strong wind was blowing from the
west at the time, and in twenty min
utes after the first alarm, notices. than
Swenty or thirty buildings were in
flames. gihe fire extended from Tay-
lor street en- the south almost to the
cemetery On the.north, and from Stew
sartsstreet onsthe west. eastato G street.
TIE burnt district is three quarters of
% mile long by half a mile wide. The
spread of the flames was so rapid that
nothing more than few articles of
weaing apparel were saved by the
.feeting inmates of the burning build
ings. A vigorous fight was made
against the fire, and several
buildings were blown up to stay its
progress, but the flames leapea over
all obstacles, and places which one
inmate were hundreds of feet from the
fire, were the next a sheet of fame.
The fremen worked nohly, assisted in
their efforts to subdue the flames by
tine Gold Hill Fire Department. The
fire was stayed at Ma-ye's bcick build
ing, between j and G streets. and on
Smith street, below E, and G streets.
The Methodist. Catholic and Episco-
pal Churches were burned; also the
Territorial Enterprise and Virginia
Chronicle Offices, and all the dwelling
and business houses included in the
area above mentioned. Only two
dives were known to have been lost,
though it is thought investigators will
prove that others were burned or buried
ln the ruins.
