Fire at the IHssttts<te.

Yesterday morning about half past 6
o'clock fire was discovered in the dancing
room in the third story of the Institute
Hall, Eighth and Market streets. The
alarm was Immediately sounded and the
firemen were promptly on the ground. In
the space Of half an hour, during which con-
siderable water was used, the flames were
subdued, having done but little damage,
that Of burning two of the joists in the centre
of the room, for distance of about twenty
four feet, also the plastering and lath be-
tween them. The water perhaps caused
more trouble and damage than did the fire.
The paper on the walls below was wet so
that it will be necessary to have new put
on. The water poured through the floor in
little streams, and coming down into Shoe
makers drug store, and the so cent store,
did some little injury as well as making it
uncomfortable and disagreeable for the
store keepers.
The origin of the fire is not definitely
known One story for it is that owing to a
defect in one of the gas pipes which passed
up through the room, the space between the
joists became filled with gas, and IL became
ignited by the heat from fine in one side OF
the apartment. Had this been the case, ii
is probable that the flames would have
caused more trouble than they did. An
other superstition of the occurrence is that
one of the wooden spittoons which was ia the
room, and filled with saw dust, became ig
nited by some one throwing into it a lighted
match or the end of cigar. Before the
fire there were three spittoons in the room
and after it there but two and the relics o
the third; it having been nearly consumed
This is thought by those doing business il
the building, to have been the true origin O.
the fire.
The loss is not very great, and can posi-
bly, be covered by 5000.

The act of Congress 18th July, 1862, G.

of 81 years and upwards, who has enlisted,
or may enlist in the armies Of the United
States, either the regular or volunteer for
ces, or has been or may be hereafter honor
ably discharged, shall be admitted to be-
come citizen of the United States, upon
his petition, without any previous declara-
ton of his intention to become such, and he
shall not be required to prove more than
one years residence in the United States,
previous to his application to become such
citizen, and the court admitting such alien
shall, in addition to such proof Of residences
and good neral character, as now provided
by law, be satisfied by competent proof OF
such persons having been honorably dis
charged from the service of the United
States"
It is therefore quite evident, that no term
Of service in the State Militia, renders the
path of citizenship open, without a compli-
ance of the general naturalization laws.
If"M. c." came into the country under
eighteen, he could be naturalizep without
declaring his intentions, otherwise he must
declare his intentions, end wait two years.

A TRIBUTE TO WoNEN.-Place her
among flowers, foster her as . tender
plant, and she is q thing Of fancy,
waywardness and folly-annoyed by
o dewdrop, fretted by the touch Of .
butterfy's wing, ready to faint at the
sound Of a beetle or the rattling Of .
window pane at night, and she Is
overpowered by the perfume Of the
rosebud. But when the real calamity
comes, rouse her affections, enkindle
the fires of her heart, and mark her
then Place her in the heat Of the
battle, give her . child. . bird, Or
anything to protect the helpless.
Transplant her in the dark places Of
the earth, call forth her energies to
action, and her breath becomes .
healing, her presence . blessing.
She disputes inch by inch the stridss
Of . stalking psstilence. whom man.
the strong and brave, pale and af-
frightsd, shrinks away. Misfortune
daunts her not, she wsars life Of
silent endurance, and goes forward
with less timidity than TO her bridal.
In short, woman is . miracle, mys-
terry, the centre from which radiates
the charm of existence.
