south for raid upon the settlements,
and only small guard were to be
left in tie cave.
GAIL this Inez hurriodly explained
to Joe, and it was agreed that be was

portions of the cave to the rear, re-
cover from his wounds, and wait till
the Indians left before attempting

guished consideration, offering her
no indignities, and ordering that she
should have whatever she called for.
After three weeks of weary waiting
lncz learned from the old woman
that Red Eagle and his braves had
gone south, and that four braves had
been left to guard her night and day
they took up their places in the corr
ner of the great hall, and Joe waited
impatiently until they should 60 to
sleep. Day and night were the same
in the cave, but finally the braves
stretched themselves out one after
another to sleep. That sleep was
their last, tour shots from Joe's re-
volving earbine fired in rapid sue
cession killed them all before either
was aware of his danger.
"The Old woman was forced to
guide them to the entrance of the
cave, which was found after many
and tortuous windings, and Inez and
Joe emerged from their living tomb
just after sunrise. Joe then saw that
he had passed entirely through tho
mountain.
"Romu,do and his faionds had
long given them both mp for dead,
and their feelings nay be better i'm

turned safe and sound after their
miraculous adventures. Evor since
then Joe has ridden that pony and
has been perfectly happy"

colonel, that Joe got no other reward
than that miserable little piece of

"That's the way the story writer's
would fix things" said the colonel,
"but they never deal in facts as /

"You deserve anything that you will
ask for"
"But with all that the Senior conld

Chamberlain's partisans are much dis

meeting Of Republicans. in Charleston to
sustain Chamberlain and offset the great
gathering OF the tax payers. in That city ten

overcome the indifference OF the mass OF
Republicans to Chaniberlain's fate, and less
than one hundred negroes comprised the
whole attendance at the meeting. The Sen

LOCAL, MATTERS.

ri The FIRE. LAST NIGHT.-The first fire this
yenr occurred last'evening, and the fremen
will doubtless long remember IT. for the
suffering that they had to undergo, for the
cold was intense. I.,,,es.,,- a4-y ~ ~
At GAO an alarm was turned in at Station
IL, corner Tenth and Byrd streets, by officer
Sweeney. who discovered fire in the large
sumac-mill Of Messrs.. Smyth, Snyder &
Co., on the west side of Tenth street be.
tween Canal and Byrd streets. He watched
the sparks for some minutes before giving
the alarm, and, indeed, forced his way into
the building to be sure that it was on fire.
The fire, he discovered, was upon the third
floor, and originated, it is supposed, from
sparks from the Office fireplace getting
through the defective fues into the room
and to the sumac, which is very infam-
mable. .@.
The tiremen responded very promptly,
but the apparatus was turned back at the
Seventh-Street bridge by some one who sup
posed that it was only burning chimney.
In the mean time, however, the Chief..of the
Department reached the scene, and, finding
the sumac in the mill on fire, turned in
another alarm, which speedily brought out
| the steamers. ..:.
There was quite large stock Of sumac in
the building, and much Of it that was loose
on the second andthird floors took fire. 1t
was almost Impossible to tell where the fire
was and what was the best way to get at it.;
yet it was soon put out.e A considerable
quantity of sumac in bags, which was stand
ing on the first floor, and valued at about
$4,000, was taken out of the mill and put in
the street, and was OF course not injured by
fire or water.
The building, which is owned by Captain
John A. Coke, was once before burned, but
this time the damage to it is trifling. 1t is
insured in the Commercial, City Fire, and
other companies. ..-.....
The stock and machinery OF Messrs.
Smyth, Snyder & Co. are insured in the ANA
zon and other companies Of Messrs. D. n.
Walker & Co.'s agency for $4,000. The
loss to stock could not be ascertained last
night.
While the fire was In progress the Chief
Engineer received summons from his home
that his son, who had been ill for some time,
had grown worse. He Of course had to
leave the fire, and placed Captain Herndon
in charge. ...

The remarkable genius always displayed by
this great actress as Deborah is an assurance
that She will not disappoint her audience

admirable style. We were pleased to no.

their presence there is contradiction to

The two selections by the Mozart quar-

Blair-were correctly and we'll given and
were greatly enjoyed, as the audience
showed very marked appreciation Of them.
The trio by Messrs. Thilow, Kessnich, and
Reinhardt was lovely, and given with great
feeling and expression. Mr.. Redford's sole,
with orchestral accompaniment, "Mother,
Bear Me to the Window" was very effective,
and though the composition was very trite
his rendition OF it greatly pleased his au-
