ESoIsE AT WORK.

Only one engine was at work to-day
close by the remains OF the engine
which the fremen were obliged TO
abandon yesterday. Near by lay an
iron wheel, tires and few other relics
OF the new hose carriage abandoned
with the engine.

DRY HYDRASrs.

The lack Of water yesterday was due
TO the small size Of the mains in the
neighborhood, which were laid in the
days Of hand-epgines, aud are only six
inches in diameter. This morning the
hydrants furnished only about five
pounds pressure apiece instead OF 20 or
25. Among the relics were remains Of
"A cart aud the blackened skeleton of
horse in the yard Of Hunts pickle fac
tory. The team was all ready 10 be
driven away at tho time the fire cut of
the means Of escape.

LOSS oP LIPR.

Reports in regard TO loss Of lie by
the fire are AS conflicting to-day as they
were yesterday. Many persons still
believe that large number Of bodies

Hale's piano factory. Others believe
the loss Of life was comparatively slight

oALLoW FOR THE 0RAWL.v
BY JOHN C. SAVE.


You have often, no doubt, had occasion TO note,
Though the garment, at first, seemed certain to
please,
That, after some wearing, the sleeve Of your coat
Toward the shoulder was crawllng, by easy de-
And that's what the %clOthier, of course, had in
mind,
When he said to his.customer: "Long 2--nOt at
ALL
The sleeve is all right-as you'll presently find
In cutting a coat we allow for the crawI!"
The expression was one wholly new to me then ;
But it set me a thinking how we'll 1t applies
Not merely to coats hut to women and men,
In matters of life as they daily arise;
CInsIier the shrinkage of human affairs
1he promise. how greatl the performance, how
small
And lest disappointment should come unawares
Remember the sleeve-aDd "aIlew for the
crawl"
The statesman who asks for your ballot to save
Your country, so rashly impertled to-day,
May covet an office and not be a knave,
Whatever the fierce opposition may say,
But the platform" to which he so v~aliantly

By which he proposes to stand or to fall

And i'll politics always "aI!9S cOfthe crawl"

But Town to plain facts they finally fall
And happy the couple who, finding the truth,
In ~conjugal Kindness " allow for the crawl!'

In social connections; in travel and trade;
In c%Ourtship and marriage; in sermons and prayers,

ULTST ASTONISHED

A colored man living in Fayetteville,
who is a somnambulist, was on his way
home from this city a few days ago On a
Fayetteville boat9 and had dropped to
sleep, whey lie suddenly sprang to his
feet, gathered up his bundles, containing
purchases he had made in the city, and
walked deliberately overheard. The
night being dark, and the boat moving
rsSidly forward, nothing more was seen
Of the man, and it became the conviction
among those on board that he wa5
drowned. Great was their astonishmsnt,
therefore, upon approaching the landing
at Fayetteville, some hours afterward,
to find the supposed drowned man stand
ing on the wharf, ~smilingly awaiting the
arrival of the boat. 1t appeared that
upon touching the water he was aroused
from his sIumbers, and taking in the sit
uation in an instant. struck out manfully
for the shore, which he succeeded in
reaching without the loss of a bundle.
There he waited for a short time, when
another steamer came along, which he
hailed. He,was taken on board, and,
during the detention of the first steamer,

BALLET GIRLS IN RIP VAN WINKLR

Many things frequently occur on the
stage which are amusing to the actors,
but arc unseen by the audience. Joe
Jefferson relates that once, when playing
in " Rip Van Winkle,n he had great diff
ficulty in retaining from laughing right
out.
1t WAS in the scene where he meets
Hendrick Hudson and his crew on the
Catskilf mountains.
Thespecters wear gigantic green masks,
and on this occasions n Of the faces
was turned away, giving it ludicrous
appearance, which set the others laugh.
ing.
To see their whole bodies shaking with
laughter, while their faces remained
solemn and immovable, Mr.. Jefferson
describes 3s ludicrous in the extreme.
Whenv" these our actors" want a
dress rehearsal in a part before they
venture to perform it to a metropolitan
audience, they usually go over to New
ark, N. j., engage a hall, and play it.
This they call trying it on a dog :"
but what the poor Newarkians have done
that theatrical poison should be thus
thrown to them it is difficult to under
stand.
1t is true it is near New York, but so
is Jersey City, and it is not punished in
this way. It is popularity supposed that
if a day does not succeed in poor Newark
it is Of no use trying it elsewhere. At
the same time they get the cream of our
stars.
Joe Jefferson was billed there for one
night, and, crossing over to rehearsal in
the morning, he asked his son, who was
then his business manager, if he had any
balletgirls for Grip Van Winkle."
The young man had forgotten that they
were needed, but promised to get three
or four by night. They are wanted in
the last act to push Rip about, and to
laugh at him when he comes back after
his long sleep.
They should be dressed in the plain,
home-like style Of that primitive period.
Young Jefferson rushed off and engaged
several "Black Crook girls, who knew
nothing of the stage but that which they
had been required to do at Niblo's.
When they made their, appearance JEFF
ferson was simply ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
to behold the ballet.girls in pink flesh
ings, wings, wands, and simply a tarlatan
fringe around their waist. To make it
worse, they cere all in those fairy-like at
titudes peculiar to the "Black Crook"
AGO off," he said in low, agonizing
tones; " go off, do" y
Not understanding why they were
thus summarily dismissed, they deter
mined to make the most of their short
lived opportunity, and danced and
pirouetted, and threw their toes over his
head until he was nearly frantic. At
last he drove them of.
This being the secret history OF the
case, it has always struck me as being
unjust in the N~ewarkians to mutter
among themselves at Mr.. JefCerson's
making senseless and disgusting innova-
tions when he played in their city,

4 srRAxaf EpIDEmrc.

A strange epidemic among horses has
made its appearance in som parts Of
Scotland, and there are, it is stated,
than five hundred horses at the preoent
moment suffering from its effects in
Edinburgh. The disease commences
with great weakness and swelling Of the
eyes and limbs, the left eye in the
majority Of cases being affected more
than the right. There is also frequently
intestinal disorder, and spots appear on
the tongue as though from blood poison
ing. The attack lasts on an average
from i've to twelve days. Opinions ap
pear to differ as to whether it is infec-
tious or not; at any rate, it is spreading
rapidly, and affects horses indiscrim-
inately in all classes Of stables. One case
has occurred Of a COW suffering from it,
and, a. the animal was stalled beside d
pony which had also suffered from it.
there seems reason TO fear that the disease
must be infectious. On the other hand.
instances are mentioned of horses es-
Gaping the disease altogether, although
occupying stables where several other
horses were attacked. The dampness of
the atmosphere which has lately pre-
vailed y supposed to have originated
the epidemic, and indeed the abnormal
state Of the weather during the last six
weeks Is quite sufficient to account for
any amount Of sickness, not only in the
stable, but in the kennel.-PaH 1faR Ga

PRINCE N1K1rA, of Montenegro, has
declined to command the Bosnian insur-
gents out of a kindly consideration for
Austria. Austria's situation with refer
ence TO the Russe-Turkish question is by
no means an exhilarating one. Her
provinces along 7the Bosnian border,
Croatia and Sclavonia, are brimful of
sclaVes, ready at any favorable opportu-
nifty to rush out and help their brethren.
Should the prince of Montenegro become
the responsible head of a general revolt
Austrian subjects would soon be fight
ing against the porte, thus placing the
government in the position of an alder
and abetter of the Sclavic revolt.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

This morning an enploye in the De-
fance, named Halver Olsen, placed a can
of water upon the forge of the black
smith shop at the Defiance mine, for the
purpose of thawing out some giant pow
der caps. The water in the can had pre-
viously been used for the purpose of
thawing out cartridges and the nitro-gly-
cerine in the powder, in the process of
thawing, had mixed with the water.
Olsen began blowing the fire to warm
the water, when suddenly an explosion
took place, SCATTERING the can to frag-
ments. Mr.. Olsen received the full
charge in his body, from his head to his
hips. His face and chin are frightfully
cut, and his hand and arm blown to
pieces. Portions of the a entered
near the seventh rib, one in
the groin, and a piece two inches long
below the umbilicus. He carried a
heavy silver watch in his pocket, which,
perhaps, was the means of saving his
life, as 3 piece struck the watch, taking
a piece out as large as an acorn. Several
pieces from an inch to an inch and a half
in length were taken from his body. 1t
is supposed that pieces are still in the
mans legs, stomach and lungs. The end
Of the shop was blown out, also the
e0rge. Mr.. Olsen had five cartridges in
his pocket, which, fortunately, did not
explode.-Mev. Miner.

TIE total number of paying oranges is
