Interestlng Anniversary.

To-day is the anniversary of the cele.
brated Alamo fight Of 1886, a fight in
teresting to all Tennesseeans and
Texans. Alamo fort, in the town Of San
Antonio, Bexar county, Texas, was the
scene Of one of the most barbarous mas.
sacres on record. Fights between the
Mexicsus and Texans were frquent at
this time, and on February % the former,
from 1900 to 1000 strong, appeared before
Bexar, in which were about lao Texans,
under command of Colonels David
Crockett, William Barrett Travis and
Bowie. The latter retired into the Alamo
and raised the national flag formed of
thirteen stripes, red and white alternate
ly, on a blue ground, with a large white
star of five points in the center, and be-
tween the points the word Texas. The
Mexicans fortified themselves in the town
AID demanded the surrender of the fort,
threatening to put all to the sword IN
case Of refusal. To this a csnnon-shot
was the only reply, and the Mexicans
began the bombsrdment. A desperate
defence was made by the Texans until
tbs morning Of March 9th, when a hand.
to-hsndf fight ensued, in which the Texans
we're reduced to six. These latter sur
rendered on promise Of quarter, bu. they
we're by order of Santa Anna cut to
pieces. The bodies of the Texan slain
were piled up in the center of theAlamo,
and after being horribly mutilated they
we're burned. SO ended the MASSAGE Of
the Alamo, an act which, more thaa any
thing else, led to the final independence
OF Texas.

A New Enemy of Submarine Cables.
In 1865 the wo~rld-renowned special
correspondent Of the London Times, w.
II. Russell, modestly gave %utterance to a
prophecy which time has since fulfilled
almost to the letter. He then wrote.
"As a mite would in all probability
never have been seen but for the inyen-
ton Of cheese, so it may be that there is
some undeveloped creation waiting
perdu for the first piece of gutta-pefcha
which comes down TO the sea bottom
to arpuse bis faculty and fulfill his ihnc-
tiJns of life-a gutta-percha boring and
eating teredo, who has been waiting for
his meal since the beginning Of tho
world" This enemy Of submarine
cables has already made bis appearance,
as was briefly announced in a recent
number of the Monthly. 1t is a crusta-
cean, less than a quarter OF an inch in
length and known as "Limnoria tere-
brans "One breakfast which he may
take" says DR.. j. Il. Gladstone, may
cost more than the breakfast Of any
luxurious Roman epicure in ancient
times, because he may destroy a whole
cable, and it may take a year to repair
the damage which he may do in q
minute"

ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
IN WHITEHALL.
Fifteen Poor Families Turned Out
in the Binding Storm-Cause, the
Bursting of a Kerosene Lamp
Loss $4,000.
WHITEHALL, March 20.

WHITEHALL, March 90.
Our village was the scene of another de-
structive fire tonight The ruins of Halls
hotel, partially burned on Sunday night,
had been smouldering and flaming up quite
briskly during the day and at intervals the
hand engines have been ordered out to sup
press them. About six o'clock this evening
it was found necessary to bring out one of
the steamers. which had only fairly COM
menced playing upon the fire around the
ruins of the Hall house, when another
alarm of fire was sounded. The cause was
soon discovered, that the market of Charles
Roch, just north of the express Office, was
wrapt in flames, caused by the
BURSTING OF KEROSENE LAMP.
The flames soon communicated to a
small grocery store in the Chaplin block adj
joining, and row of tenement buildings
in the rear occupied by large number of
families, all of which were destroyed.
Fifteen poor families were turned out of
doors in the binding snow storm, and it
was pitiful sight to see them scattered
about in groups standing around their
scanty furniture, which was all that was
left to them of their homes The losses arc
not heavy, and will scarcely exceed five
thousand dollars, with very small insur-
ance. The night was favorable for a
devastating fire, but our gallant and ener-
getic fireman subdued the flames about
nine o'clock, TINS preventing what other
wise might have proved a fearful con-
flagraton, because ar the high wind which
prevailed. u.B.E.

At the afternoon session of the postal
committee Bradley Barlow swore no never
made any improper suggestion to any gov
eminent official and never asked or expec-
ted any man to whom he gave or loaned
money to convey any such suggestion to
government Official. He had employed
Mr.. Earl to act rs an attorney for him
before the department during his absence
from Washington. He admitted the fact
that Mr. Earl had formerly been law
partner Of Postmaster General Cresswell,
partly influenced him in making his selec-
ton of an attorney on account OF the lat
ter's facility of access to Cresswell, and
his ability to obtain information affecting
his interests, but he paid HIM less than
$4,000 in all for his services. His employ
ment commenced after he ceased to hold
the office of assistant postmaster general.

500, 900 for the collectorship of the port of
New York, and Delano will also be called.
The same special says the judiciary COM
mittee, who are investigating the safe burg
larry, haye received some startling informa-
ton which tends TO show that ex-Attorney
General Willirms was the chief concoctor
Of the recent so-called confessions of Net
tleship, CUM and Harrington, which were
only another chapter in that notorious con-
spiracy, and were intended to cover up the
real facts and shield the really guilty par
ties. "The evidence that will be adduced,"
said a prominent member, will show such
black turpltude on the part of Williams,
such contemplate detective tricks in con-
cocting these bogus confessions, as to sink
the charges Of brides in cotton cases into
tine shade"
