Loss OF Life from Fires in Public
Buildings,

DIR. J. NJ. Toner, of Washington, has
compiled Il list OF theatres, churches, and
other public buildings which have been

C., when the temple of Delphi was burned,
and the year $50, when "the aspiring
youth" fired the "Ephesian dome" The
table includes the following notable con-
flagrations, with the dates of their occur
renee and the number of lives lost in
certain cases: Church of st. Sophia,
Constantinople, $50 A. D.; st. Paul's,
London, 1877; st. Paul's and sixty 9th
er churches, London, 1866; Drury Lane
theatre, London, 1872; the Flemish
theatre, Amsterdam, 1872, 700 lives;

Hard unon the New York Gamblers.

The outlook Gfor gamblers in New
York city is unfavorable. The period OF
their new tribulation may be short, but
it promises threateningly for them at
the outlet. The keepers Of a faro game
close to Madison square, a section Of the
city where most of the heavy gambling
is done, went from judge Gildersleeve's
court last Monday to the p~enitentiary
for six months. The significance of this
is that heretofore convicted gamblers OF
that class have simply been fined. The
Judge intimated, too, that longer terms
would be imposed in future cases. Be-
sides, the grand jury has prepared a
statute for the legislature to pass, max
ing pool selling a misdemeanor andsuch
a law, enforced, would stop most OF the
specimens fun at the horse races.

The great trotting-horscs of the coun-
try have not been foaled, in the proper.
ton that one might reasonably expect.
They have come, rather, before the public
from obscure sources. In many cases, as
with "Dutchman' and "FlOra Temple"
and "Rripton," no one can tell up to
this day anything OF the sire or the dam.
The fact that three such nurses, and
scores of Others of almost equal merit,
have no known parentagc, reveals how
rude and unsuccessful the breeding efforts
of the country have been. Who can
conceive of three winners of the Derby
with no known pedigree? But here we
have few, if any, impartial and intelli-
gent students of the problem. The most
intricate and delicate of all endeavOrs to
propagate great cxcellencies by the har-
moni0us union of desirable qualities,
possessed in part by the sire and part by
the dam, has been, for the most part, un.
dcrtaken by men too ignorant or preju-
diced to grasp Complementary the rudl-
mental principles of success. Hence it
is that breeding in America has been an
innocent kind of gambling, that is, n
venture in which good luck, rather than
an understanding of and attention to the
business, was relied on for success. Hence
it is that our fastest horses are sent to us
annually from the barn-yards of I'M
known, and, so far as principles of breed.
ing go, ignorant farmers. We find them
AS "Dutchman" was found, in a tan.
dem-tcam, drawing bricks; or behind a
drover's wagon, as "Flora Temple was
discovered-without name or fame.
They come unheralded by any expecta-
tion, the result of no plan, no knowl.
edge, no wisely-invested capital. This
seems an %indisputable proposition, there
fore,-that one of the causes of financial
failures which have attended attempts at
breeding is to be found in the gross ig-
norance of the breeders themselves in
the principles of propagation.

Debts of Southern States,

Virginia owes about s45,O OO, 900, and
insists that West Virginia is bound to
shoulder 5000, 900 of it as her fair
share; but the latter state is not willing
to do this. North Crrolina's debt aggre-
gates about $40, 600, 900. Tennessee owes
about S2l 900, 900. The bonds are chiefly
held in New York, and the owners have
requested a committee of eminent bankers
who are not themselves interested in
them to endeavor to secure a recogniza-
ton of the debts upon an equitable basis.

EngIand's New Steel Fleet.

The steel dotilla which is now being
built for the British navy, and which is
to consist of two ships Of extraordinary
swiitnes and six powerful %corvettes, is
being rapidly pushed forward by the adj.
miralty. All OF them will be cased in
wood except at the prov, which will con-
sist of a single gun.metal casting; they
will be Of the same tonnage and horse
power, their measurement being 2,377
tons and their engines Of $500 indicated
horse power. Though principally de-
signed for foreign service, there steel
c~orvettes will be quite capable of taking
an active part in any naval battle, each of
them being armed with n couple of heavy
seven-inch guns and II dozen sixty-four
Founders. Their powerful engin will
moreover permit them to use discretion
in any engagement, so that they may
either fight or run away, whichever they
choose; while the compliments OF men
carried will render them also Of unusual
value in coast warfare, where an action
has sometimes to be followed up by n
landing party. In this respect the two
larger ships, the lrie and Mercury, will
surpass even the finely built corvettes.
They are to be tleet'dispatch-vcssels with
a speed of not less than twenty miles an
hour; their size is ample enough for the
transport OF troops on an emergency; and
although but lightly armed, their swift
ness would secure them immunity.
