Little, who caned a navy yard clerk few
days ago, was charged with carrying re-

was Of unsound mind, and the prosecution of
the charge was suspended for the present, to
enable them to have a commitment made out
10 the Insane Asylum. The police took him
10 the jail yesterday afternoon for safe
keeping. 1t seems that after his escapaie at
the navy yard he went over to the Insane

The burning of Moscow, in 1872, is one of
the most noted conAagrations on record, not
only on account of its magnitude, but for its
historical importance. The French entered
the city September IA, Napoleon proposing
to make it his Winter quarters. On that very
day several fires broke out, but little attention
was paid to them by the invading army until
the next two days, when they had acquired
great headway On the 18th high wind
arose, and the flames spread rapidly in every
direction; by the 18th the whole city ap.
peared sea of fame, and by the evening Of
the 10th nine.tenths of it was reduced to ash
es. The total number of buildings destroyed
is stated at between $4,000 and $1,000. The
Russians at the time in order to cast odium
on the French, attributed this conAagration
to the orders of Napoleon. 1t is now, how
ever, generally acknowledged that the fires
were the work of the Russians themselves,
and that they were kindled by the orders of
the Governor, Rostoptchin, acting beyond all
doubt under the sanction Of the Emperor AL
exander, without which it is hardly conceiva-
BILE that the Governor would have ventured
on such step. The object was to deprive
the French army of shelter from the Winter.
Ample precautions had been taken to insure
the entire destruction of the city. Inham-
mable materials were placed in deserted man
sions in every quarter, and the torch was ap-
piled simultaneously all over the city. In
burning the French out Of their proposed
Winter quarters, no provision had been made
for the safety of the inhabitants, who were
driven to seek shelter in the surrounding
woods and it is affirmed that more than TO-
900 sick and wounded perished in the flames.
The direct loss to the French is put down at
100000; and beyond this, it in the end in:
volved the retreat in the dead of Winter, and
the almost complete annihilation of the great
French army. This act, which the Russians
at the time repudiated, is now considered by
them as their highest glory, the greatest ex-
ample in history of national selfsacri6ce for
the destruction of an invader.-Appleton's
american Cyclopedia.

CHAPTER XII.

Picciola had not forgotten the determina-
ton she had expressed to Esther, before leav-
ing home, to 60 in search of little Paul, and
to spare no effort to discover the place of his
concealment; and she only waited to see her
mistress in some degree settled in her present
habtation, before carrying this resolution into
effect.
About week, therefore, after their remov-
al she broached the subject, and asked Es-
theirs permission to leave her for short time,
as she was anxious to take some steps, with.
out farther delay, to carry out her plan.
"But," said Esther, regarding in surprise
the fearless young creature, who profered
this request as simply and coolly as if there
was no danger involved in the proposed un-
dertaking, chow in the world, Picciola, can

"But how will you set about it ?" asked her
mistress Heaven knows, if there were any
chance of success, would walk through the
world barefoot to find my child again But
you cannot suppose that Alasquez, having had

the Governor. 1t was also resolved Dy tnls
Assembly that since the Governor had re-
fused to apologize for his recent conduct, that
the Assembly would have nothing more to do
with him. This surely was bold step and
was indicative of what followed.
The quarrel between Governor Boone and
the assembly of South Carolina continued up
to the time of the passage of the notorious
Stamp act by the English Parliament. The
leading men were thoroughly aroused to op'
pose any thing that had the semblance of an
eucroachment upon their liberties. The lead
ers in the movement in opposition to Cover
nor Boone were Charles Pinckney, Henry
Laurens, Peter Manigault, Isaac Mazyck,
John Rutledge, James Moultrie, Christopher
Gadsden, Thomas Lynch, William Roper,
William Scott, E. Simmons, R. Lowndes,
James Parsons, David Oliphant, Thomas Bee,
BENJAMIN Smith and Thomas Wright. The
controversy between the assembly and Gov.
ernor Boone was thoroughly discussed, both
in public and private, by these men, and the
result was hatred for oppression, and an in
tense love of liberty was disseminated through
out the whole of the lower section of the pro-
vince. When, in 1764, the British Parlia.
ment passed the stamp act, to take effect after
the lst of November, 1896, the people were, as
a whole, prepared to resist it.
When the stamps arrived in Charleston, no

else some influence on he tides. The
writer, in his short and learned disqulsi-
ton, demonstrates the why's and where-

that his logic on this point will he swal-
lowed by scientists ofthis side. cum grano
