never took a stream into the burning
building, but stood on the street and
suuirted into it from safe distance"
The hcrolsm of Cliff Saunders, the GLOBE
Democrat reporter, Mr.. Miles praises in the
highest degree. He succeeded, at the immi-
nens risk Of his life, in throwing rope from
ladder to man in a window in wing OF
the house, who threw il to the story above,
where seven scryant-girls were huddled In
terror. The girls caught the rope, and were
thus enabled to draw ladder to their win
dow, and by its aid escape from the burning
ruin. One of the girls in descending the
ladder had her night-dress blown over her
head, disclosing more OF her anatomy than
was consistent with modesty. She at once
climbed back into the window again, and
did not come down again until several OF her
companions had preceded her. When
she reached the ground she was asked
why she haa acted so singularly. She
replied that she felt so ashamed that she
went back in the belief that, by get
ting some Of the other girls to descend
ahead OF her, the crowd would be unable to
tell which of them had been exposed by the
rude wind. Such Incompatible modesty Is
truly wonderful. One man went crazy In
the building, and appeared in the window
he had wrapped around him like toga.
lie then harangued the crowd in an excited
manner. The tiremen put a ladder up to
the window and went up after him. AS
soon rs they got near him he warned them
off, saying, "Don't come near me! keep
away keep away |! " and then darted back
into the room. lie next appeared at all
other window, where he struck tragic at
ttude and repeated his TRADE. He was
finally rescued by good luck. A prominent
gambler who bearded at the hotel was deal
ing faro-bank in Il house away from the
hotel when the fire was announced. He
closed the bank and put its oll"-about
S2.50O--in his pocket, and went over into
the hotel to try and save some of his things.
He was lost in the flames.
Mr.. Miles has very poor opinion Of the
Skinner patent tire-cscape, Judging by its
performance at the Southern, and he Is OF
the opinion that all hotels should be pro-
vidcd with fixed ladders leading from the
hall windows to- their first floors. The
Palace Hotel, in San Francisco, Is thus fur
nishcd, and it is the proper plan for all
houses to adopt. i singular sight was to
be seen as late rs II O'Clock Wednesday
morning in an upper floor OF the burned
rum. 1t was bird-cage which was sus-
pended from 4 doorway, and contained q
live mocking-bird. The bird had survived
the smoke and flames Of the awful night,
and an attempt was made to rescue it. Be-
fore it could be reached, however, the wall
fell, and the bird was lost i'll the dfJrlS.

Of person, however respectable in private

], Is not NO late, perhaps, to welcome
you back, gentlemen, from your Old Nir-
giHia home. Few scenes on earth equal in
interest the reunion Of families long sepa-
rated. Few epochs in our life's history ap-
peal to memory with more tenderness than
do those periods when the scattered ones
are renssembled in their childhood's home.
Few days Of bliss are more pure or more
profitable than those we enjoy in the midst
Of the reunited household.
During the holiday season, little Of spe-
cisl interest transpired in our rural region.
Less than the usual amount Of festivity
and much more than the usual amount Of
snow has been noticed. Sleigh riding has
been revived to a considerable extent; and
vehicles adapted for this mode Of pleasure
seeking are in great demand.

house on the Shelby City pike, formerly
uscd as toll gate. Under this house they
found four pairs Of blankets, the property
of Mr.. VI. The track then, was traced to
Macksvillc TO the house Of colorcd man,
but close examination proved that this was
done as blind, f1r, after going into the
yard, the thief went around the house and
on, the track being lost by the trampled
state Of the street. Mr. Mal,ingly having
put Mr.. Miller on guard to watch the old
house, he saw a negro come on Tuesday
morning for his goods, he gave the alarm
to Mr.. Kennedy, who ran up and arrested
him. The negro proved to be Andy Gen,

and Hughes, when the foregoing facts were
proven, and he was sent to Jail in default
