THE OLD LOG HOUSE.


There's an o,d log house on my fathers farm,
Al silent, and lonely, and s,ll
Not . sound Of ninth Is ever heard, now,
In the old log house GU the hill.
But fondly think of the bygonc days,
Where, with brothers and sisters dear,
Not a happier home, in the country around,
Could be found, either far or near.
But my father builded another house,
And my brothers are gone aiar,
And the old log house is deserted now,
And deiaeed with many scar.
The rabbit and squirrel play hiie-and seek
With mice DER the oaken floor.
But they quickly beat hasiy retreat,
When the owl flies In at the door
The "ivittcring swallow now builds is nest
On the raiters, going to decay,
And the robin and sparrow have made their hous
On the logs for many day.
The little room, where my brother and |
on listened to the whip -poor-will,
Is open now to the birds and the bats,
And they come there without fear ofill.
But poor will is miss'd from his nightly scat
On the apple tree near tho door
For there's no one there to answer him back,
Ar we've done u thousand times Ger.
The primroses bloom uncared for now,
Aad the "blue-eyed yiolets" blow
And the cottage rose, that my sister loved,
Climbs in at the easement low,
As If II would ask, "pherc are they all gone
That used once to carOssand to love
lis moor flowers neglected now

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
A CRY OF FIRE IN THE CHINESE THEATRE
CAUSES A STAMPEDE.

The Alta California gives the follow
ing particulars of terrible disaster,
which happened at Chinese theatre
in San Francisco, few nights ago
A dreadful accident happened at a
quarter past twelve o'clock last night
at the Royal China theatre, No. 622
Jackson street, near Dupont. 1t was
benefit night, and nearly two thou.

atre. Some Chinaman raised the cry
of "Fire !" and panic ensued. There
was rush from the gallery TO the mar
row stairway leading to the main exit.
The stairway gave way, and portion
Of the crowd, in passing the portal,
were overthrown by those who follow
ed To add to the horror of the situa-
tion, the swinging doors opening to
the narrow vestibule were wrenched
off and fell forward upon the uniortu-
nate crowd ahead, mashing a number
of them to the floor. The surging
mass struggling outward, precipitated
itself upon the fallen doors, compress
ing the helpless beings beneath to
death. Still others crowded upon
those on the floors and .tramped them
to death. The exit from the floor OF
the theatre to the vestibulc is down a
short fight of steps, which accounts
for the wcdging Of the mass at that
point The flight was down an inclin-
ed plane All the time the play was
going on in the livelest fashion, the
actors not aware of the serious charac-

Captain Douglas, were speedily on the

wounded were taken to Chinese houses
in the vicinity.
Dr. Savers, police surgeon, was on
the ground, administering 10 the
wounded. The Coroner was notified
and took charge of tho dead. The

A BIG HOTEL BURNED.
END OF THE aRANaEas' ENoAMpMEST--
now THE FIRE oRIGINATED--A CLEAN
swEEP-Loss $4,000.

At five minutes before 6 o'clock last
evening FRIDAY, Nov. l7th) the large
hotel known as the Changers Encamp.
mcnt, at Elm Station, on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, in Montgomery county,
six miles west of the West Philadelphia
Depot, was discovered TO be on fire, An
east wind was blowing at the time, and
the fire, which originated in the south
east corner of the building spread with
great rapidity. The building was al
most entirely pine, and the light parti-
ton walls withcred and disappeared
before the flames like sheets Of paper.
The fire burst through the root and
out the windows, and, famed by the
breeze, swept from one end to the other
of the vast structure almost with race
horse speed, seeding up columns of
flame and smoke, lighting up the coun-
try for miles around. The hotel was
provided with patent fire extinguishers,
but no effort was made by the occu.
pants TO save the building. II would
have been useless to do So Many Of
them had as much as they could do to
save themselves, the fire spread so
rapidly. Two ofthe employees, in try
ing to save their personal effects, were
badly burned about the hands, and
Mrs. Jones,th stewards wife, narrowly
escaped, though her room was several
hundred feet from where the fire start
cd, and her husband ran to get her out
~ soon az II was discovered. The
flames burst into her room before she
could leave 1t, and, with hor children in
her arms, she ran for her life through
the blazing corridors. In less than an
hour the firo did its work, and the
Changers Encampmcnt, which covered
over five acres Of ground and contained
thirteen hundred rooms, and which
coet, with its furniture, $4,000, was

coed well. Mr.. and Mrs. McNabb, OF
the Second Ward, have had an cspe-
cially hard time in this respect, and
are really little better oiy than they
were at the beginning of the honey
moon. Mr.. McNabb is tall and lean,
with stride of about yard, and Mrs.
McNabb is short and dumpy, with a
step carefully estimated by her hus-
band at about six inches on the aver
age; so, when they first began walk
ing together, the effect was odd. There
was the "patter, patler, patter," of
Mrs. McNabbs short PAGES with the
heavy "thump" of her husbands foot
steps coming in at intervals, and the
effect was simply ridiculous, At first
the conversation between them was
this way:
gOh, Augustus, dear please do take
a little shorter steps"
"Why, Angelina, I'm walking as
usual can't you step a little longer,
darling2n
But he didn't take shorter steps nor
she longer ones, because it was prac.
tical impossibility in cithcr case, and
after a month or two their coversa-
ton ran more interestingly;
"Augustus, don't take such borrid
strides. I'm not a giantess.'
"No, evidently, you're less like gi.
antoss than q beetle, Do you suppose
| can patter along TO keep time with
your six.inch hops? Nonsense !"
At the end of the first half year the
two never went out without a quarrel.
She'd break out every time:
"You'rc a beast, Augustus I'd as
soon walk with big pair Of shears
No gentleman would straddlc so with
n lady on his arm, you brute"
"That'ill do, madam It's hard
enough TO force man TO literally car

vice is that three of her steps fall

unhappy couple, and all because the

cept thirteen mattresses and part ol
the stewards silver.ware. The pianos
and organs had been removed before,
but with this exception, the hotel was
fully furnished. Each sleeplng-room
contained bed, q table, two chairs, n
wash-stand, looking-glass, toilet arti-
cles and carpet. There were about
thirty-fvepersons, including ten guests,
in the hotel at the time They saved
nothing but the clothes they had on.
Two poor women, Mrs. Hummer and
Mrs. Martin, employed in the house
lost everything they had in the world,
including small sums Of money. A. f.
Jones, the steward, loses about a thou
sand dollaroin kitchen and table furni-
turc. Mr.. Jones had an insurance on
his property, but it expired few
weeks ago,
The building was erected on the land
Of Lewis Thomas, and was owned aud
conducted by stock company, incor.
porated as the Centennial Encampment
Association, of which DIR. Steck, of
Lycoming county, is president, and
Townsend Walters, of West Chester
treasurer
The building had front of 500 feet
and depth Of i5O feet, besides dining
room, which was 80 feet wide and 800
feet long. 1t had eleven corridors and
over thousand gas jets. The kitchen
and two large steam. boilers for cooking
purposes, and the hotel had gas.works
ofits own, and was supplied with water
by steam-pump. Nearly three mill.
ion feet of pine lumber were used in
its construction. During the last
three months of the Exhibition the ho-
tel did large business, accommodating
over 100000 guests, having at one time
over two thousand. The building and
furniture were insured in twelve COM
panies for $4,000. Mr.. Walters, the
treasurer, went to West Chester yester.
day morning. 1t is thought that all
his books and papers were burned.
The fire is believed to have been the
work of incendiaries, as there was no
fire in the building within three hun.
dred feet of where the conhagration
began. 1t is said that some suspicious
looking persons were seen leaving the
building shortly before the fire.
No final decision had been made by
the board of directors as to what dis
position they would make of the build
ing, but they were negotiating with
certain parties for its sale, in whole or
in part. The officers say that, but for
the fire, they would have come out
about square, financially. Several.fire
companies from this city started for
the fire, but when they got to West
Philadelphia they turned around and
came back.-Phid. Times, Nor. IS.

AT dinner party there were two
sisters present, ono a widow who had
just emergedfrom her weeds, the other
not long married, whose husband had
lately gone ont to India for short
term. A young barrister present was
deputed TO take the widow down
to dinner. Unfortunately, he was un-
der the impression that his partner
was the married lady whose husband
had just arrived in India. Tho con-
versation between them began with

A Bangaporc tIndia) paper says
"A European lad named Green, one
day recently, got upon a large tree, on
the other side of the railroad station,
Tor the purpose of taking away the
eggs, as he supposed, from the nest,
which was on the tree. The nest be-
ing a little too high up from the lad to
look into, he, from lower branch, put
his hand into the nest, and laid hold Of
q decent-sizcd snake. Fancying ii to
be a young bird he took il out, and on
finding out what he had laid hold Of
and losing his balance, fell 10 tho
ground and dislocatcd his right arm"
We wish every boy who attempts to
rob birds nest might find a snake in
II, and a big one at that.
