that overspread the atmosphere like a
sable pail. The other day dense black
cloud that had gathered about the era
ter was suddenly driven over Pompeii.
Ashes and cinders fell in thick show
er, and for time it looked as if the
midday darkness that attended the
eruption which overwhelmed Pompeii
and Herculaneum was to be renewed,
and the partially disentombed city was
to be buried up again. l thought of
the fate of Diomed' IS family, smothered
to death in the wine cellar where they
had sought refuge. When the cloud
drifted over, the pavements of Pompeii
were covered with a thin layer of hot
volcanic ashes and minute scorie. |
asked the director of the excavations
if Pompeii might not be covered up
again. ''That depends on the duration
of the eruption of Vesuvius," he said,
"and its character. Should it break
forth on the eastern side of the noun
tain, eject masses of scOria, volcanic
ashes, and showers of boiling water, the
effect would be as disastrous as in the
10Th year of the Christian era, when
Herculaneum was covered up by
strata of volcanic matter sixty feet
deep, and Pompeii and Stabia and other
cities We're entombed beneath heaps of
mud and volcanic deposits" Vesuvius
is the most uncertain of volcanoes.
Prior to A. ID. 70, it had slumbered for
centuries. Since then it has been more
or less active, with spasmodic intervals
of tremendous fury and desolation.
Pompeii is more than one-half excava-
ted, but much remains to be done be-
fore this old Greek city will be entirely
laid open to view within its walled

The St. Johns Fire.

The entire business portion of the
city is destroyed; not leading estab-
lishment has escaped; all principal dry
good stores, leading grocers, all ship
brokers, commission merchants, all the
wholesale liquor, flour, provisions, coal,
salt, lumber, tea and West India goods
are utterly wiped out. Forty odd blocks
or nearly two hundred acres south of
Kings street have not six buildings re-
naming. The valuables of the Bank
of Montreal and Nova Scotia were re-
moved to the vault and safes of the
Bank of New Brunswick; it is not
known how the latter stood the test.
Every street, square and alley is filled
with furniture, and thousands of peo-
pie are without either food or shelter.
The International company's steamer
"New York" sheltered and fed thous-
and persons on the night of the fire,
and vessels in the stream had large
numbers of people on board.

A GOOD THING7O UNDERSTAND
DRESSMAKING.

We knew a young girl, naturally
observing, who, when dressmaking
was done in the family, by carefully
noticing the way the dressmaker
measured, fitted, cut, and basted, began
to think it not bad idea to attempt
to make her own dresses. She made
some mistakes at first. but was not dis
coursged, and very soon became quite
expert. She had no thought of ever
attempting dressmaking for any one
but herself. But time wrought
changes by which 1t became impor-
tant that she should seek more remuu-
erative employment than che was then
engaged In, that she might better min
lister to the necessities Of those depend
ing on her, and she betheught her
that through the influence of friends
might turn what she had gained by
observation to some profit. At first
she went into some families simply to
assist their regular drcssmaker. Little
by little she gained the confidence of
those who noticed her great aptness
for this occupation, and was often en-
ployed tn fit and make children's
clothes. From that she soon advanced
another step, and went into fashions
able dressmaker's establishment to
work as an assistant. and in less than
two years she rented roums, and secur
ed some of the most fastidious custo-
mers, and thus built up fine, rsmun-
erative business. Why have we told
this? Because, as "riches sometimes
take to themselves wings and fly
away" abruptly, we think 1t might be
wise for those who now ''dress In rich
attire and silver have ~ spare" to
amuse themselves ia their days Of
with some useful employ

THE COMMISSION AND THE CAB
MET

1t is striking sign of the evil times
on which we have fallen, that the Re-
publican organs are quietly discussing
the relative claims to political prefer
ment, at the hands Ct Mr.. Hayes, of the
several Republican members of the Ell
ectoral Commission. Nothing more
scandalous can be imagined than the
calling Of any member of that commission
into the Cabinet of either Presidential
candidate. That way lies, and not very
far of, the steep descent from Anglo
American scramble for power. Once be-
fore in our history the dissolution of
the Government was threatened by
contested Presidential election; and Mr..
Bayard, in his celebrated speech on the
Judiciary, commented with great earnest
ness and force on the painful and per-
llous" fact that the votes of two or three
States were held in 1901 for for Mr.. JEFF
ferson by persons who soon afterwards
received office from him as President of
the United States. "Similar sugges-
tions,' said Judge Story, long ago, will
scarcely ever fail of being made when
ever distinguished representative in
Congress obtains Office after an election
to which e'has contributed"
This being true in regard to a regular
and constitutional election by Congress
OTTER failure to elect by the people, it
IS obvious that the acceptance of Office
by any member of an ostensibly judicial
commission like that which has been
called into being to meet the present
crisis In our affairs, would infict a much
worse wound upon the public confidence
In and the public respect for our public
men. A scrupulous regard for the puri-
ty and authority of our institutions. in
deed, would seem to require not only
the members of the commission, but
also that the counsel who have been
conspicuous in urging the claims Of either
candidate before the commission should
decline to participate in the distribution
of high offices on the Inauguration of the
new President. 1t is to be expected of
rulers who acquire dominion like the
first Napolean BY the force If their mill.
tary backing and renown, or like the
third Napoleon by successful intrigues.
that they should reward their followers
and supporters, and strengthen them
selves in their ill-gottcn authority, By
putting into place and power those who
nave risked the most or labored the
hardest for their elevation. The port
folios OF the French Government went
naturally enough into thei hands which
mad prepared the great conspiracy of
the Elysee. Bat that will be dark day

possible for those who have participated
In the debates and in the decisions of a
