The Brooklyn Catastrophe - 5i5
Bodies Recovered.
NEw YoRK, Dec. 8.
The dimensions of the awful eaiaini-
ty which has befsllen the city Of Brook
lyn aud the consequent loss of life have
not yet been realized. Enough is
known. however, to make it Ger.
tain that the catastrophe rnuks
among the most fatal OF the kind ever
recorded. Up to noon to-day 3l5
bodies had been recovered, of these bnt
SO were identified. The actors Clatfie
Burrows and Harry S. Murdoch are
among the identified among the dead.
What are accepted as the bodies of the
two actors are simply two black ciu-
ders. and around the trunk of Que was
a sooty aud scorched bhckskin uuder-
shirt, and beside the other was piece
of braid, apparently portion of stage
dress. 1t is feared that when careful
search is made in the auditorium the
bodies of a good many. who leaped in
their frenzy from the gallery, will be
discovered. There were, including all,
1850 persons in the bailding, A fault
in the construction of the building, and
one to which there is reason to believe
the dreadful loss Of life in the gallery
is to large measure attributed, was the
use Of painted cloth for the ceiling.
The canvass caught easily and burned
repidly. The ventilator in the ceiling
served as sort of funnel or suction.
and thus hurried the flames on in their
course. This was directly over the
gallery. and it seems more than prob
able that the smoke and fire, in the
midst of which they were. destroyed the
lives of many persons who might other
wise have made their escape, even in
spite of the small stair xay leading from

A PRoFANE REMINIsoEN0E OF J.
ROSS BROWNE.

j. Ross Browne vas once sent upon
a mission ssout West" by the govern
ment, to investigate, amopg other
things, the character OF certain i'm
provenlent OH . far-away stream
which had absorbed q good deal Of
government, money, and which the
authorities at Washington desired to
have little light shed upon. 1t had
beeu reported to Browne that mill
stood upon a dam near which he was
instructed to pursue his investiga-
tions, but never mill could he find.
The dam was there to be sure, but
the mill had goue where the wood
bine twineth. He accordingly in-
formed the Government in = grave
official report, that he had arrived 1t
his destination, aud had discovered
the dam by . mill site, but no mill by
dam site! We have never hea that
the authorities called tho language Of
Mr.. Brownies report in question. Ou
the coutraay we can Imagine that the
solemn off1cial mouth of the govern
ment. when it came across this pas
sage in the report, widened into q
grin stretched from ear to ear, aud
that the joker was rewarded for his
temerity in Introducing stray sun
beam into the musty records of red
tape, by another mission and bigger
pay.-[St. Paul Pioneer Press.

BY Ihy saving grace defend US:
feuht OF pity, safety send us
Jesus, think of thy wlyfariap
For my sins the DEATH crown wearing
save me- IN that day. despairing
Worn and weary Thou hast sought me
BY Thy cross and passion bouCb, me-
Spare the hope Thy labors broIghr ne,
righteous Judge of retribution,
Tive, y give me absolution
Ire that day OF dissolution
As guilty culprit groanine,
Flushed my face, my errors owning.
Spare. y God, Thy suppliant moaning
Thou 10 Mary gav'st remission,
Heard'st he dying thiefs pstltiou.
Bad's ne hope in my contritiob,
In my prayers no worth Discerning
Yet on me Thy favor turning,
Save me from that endless Eurninp,
Give me, when Thy sheep coudlipp
Ihsu art FROM the goats dividing.
On Thy right place abiding
When the wicked are rejected
And 10 bitter flames subjected
Cail me iorih With thine elected
Low in supplicatiOn bending,
Heart as though with ashes blending:
Care for ME when all is ending!
When on that dread day of weeping
Guilty man in sshes sleeping
Wakes to his adjudication,
save him, God fr Jm condemnation.

Blue Ridge. N. g., Blade: The
wife Of Joseph Whissnhunt, of Burke
county, gave birth to twius the last
night of the old year-one was born
ten minutes before IL o'clock and the
other ten minutes after IL. So one
was born on Friday aud the other ON
Saturday, one in 1875 aud the other
in 1876. Their birthday is not tho
same, yet they are twins. We doubt
if such thing ever occurred before
in the history of the world. Another
noticeable circumstance is that one
was a boy aud the other q girl; tho
boy was born in the old year and the
girl in this--leap wear. II the boy
should be gifted writer aud amuse
tho world with . story after the
style Of "Tristam Shandy," the opsu-
ing chapter would be peculiarly in.
