The Fire in Which 1000 People
Perished.

The greatest fatality from fire in pub
lie building during this century was
that which occurred at Santiago, the
capital of Chill, December 8, 1869. This
was not in theatre, but in the leading
church of the city, which was crowded
in the evening to overlooking by moro
than 5000 persons. A paraffine lamp,
used to illuminate transparency on the
high altar, set its frame work on fire, and
quickly wrapped in flames kind of tab
ernacle composed of pasteboard, canvas
and wood. The church was filled with
no less than 10000 lights, arranged for
display in long festoons of colored globes,
with gauze and drapery of every descrip-
ton surrounding the lights. In less
time than it takes to tell the story, the
whole interior of the great church be-
came an extinguishable bonfire, and a
rain of liquid-blue fire poured down upon
the crowded masses below. The church
had but one door which could be reached
by the panic stricken multitude, and this
door opened on the inside, and was
blocked up at the very outset of the panic
by the surging and struggling mass. Es-
cape was thus made impossible, and in
less than quarter Of an hour about
1000 human beings had persisted, mostly
women and children, but very few men.
General Thomas H. Nelson, then the
American Ambassador, who was present,
heroically devoted himself to saving lives,
and was the means, it is said, of extricat-
ing fifty young ladies from the burning
building, never deserving his post at the
threshold of the doors until the roof had
fallen in, when he was carried from the
spot with his clothes smoldering and his
hair singed to the roots. The Legislature
of Chill, after this disaster, passed an act
prohibiting Examinations Of churches,
and requiring sufficient number of
doors of egress in every public building
tosecure the speedy safety of an audience.

NOTHING LIKE ''SCTENCE. "-Onc day
last summer An old farmer and wife were
in a Detroit photograph gallery to have
some pictures taken of the wife. Before
proceeding to business the farmer took
the artist aside and confdentially OBJ
served:
"The old lady was bound to come, and
couldn't prevent, but now want you
to do me favor. She's got ears like q
COW, and the biggest mouth ever saw
on a woman. Her picture would be a
lsughing-stock for ell the children, and l
know she'd be sorry when too late. Tell
her that she'll take the best in cold
weather, and then I'll Ok the rest"
The artist performed his eTrand, and
the woman went away nth disappointed
and pleased. The other day, when old
zero was bowling himself hoarse, the
same pair returned IN the gallery, and
the farmer seated his wife as far from the
stove as possible, and ordered her to be
"taken" at once. Al the artist hurried
~ obev, the farmer cornered him and
whispered:

The RUSSIAN EMPEROR's RESIDENCE

The RUSSIAN EMPEROR's RESIDENCE.
-Livadia, the present residence of the
Emperor of Russia, is an estate on the
southwest coast of the Crimea, at about
league and half from a little town
called Yalta, in the government of Tau
rida. Yalta is about fifty kilometres
five eighths of mile each) from Sebasto-
pol. Livsdis, which is placed on a
crest of rocks running like cornice along
the Black Sea, is private estate belong
ing to the Empress. 1t was presented to
her by the Gar few years after their
marriage, his majesty having boughtitfrom
Count Potocki. The property has an ex-
tent Of about six or seven kilometres in
diameter, and is crossed by the post
road which starts from Sebastopol, where
the railway stops. On entering the do
main one sees, ut each extremity of that
road, pillars surmounted with the arms
of her majesty, who was, as is known, q
Princess of Hesse. The house on it is
exceedingly modest in extent. Its con-
struction dates from the commencement
of the century; it is, in truth, only q
chalet in the Russo-Itslian style, like
most of the pleasure residences around
the estate, that is to say, built half in
stone and half in wood. In the middle
of the park is another house, smaller
than that of the Empress, which is re-
served for the Czsrowitz when he
comes there to stay with the court.

OCEAN FIREwoRKs.-The Anchor Line
steamer Victoria, just in from Glasgow,
reports that while riding out . heavy
westerly gale about midway across the
Atlantic on the 18th ult, at six in the
evening, the atmosphere improvised a
rich display Of phosphoric fireworks.
Balls Of glowing red fire the size of a
mans fist danced upon the yards and
stays, and rs they fell exploded in mid
air with swapping report. They chiefly
slighted upon the ends of yards, At inter
walls Of foot, though likewise favoring
the centers, and AT times the vessel had
the aspect Of being decorated for first
class festival. One of the balls burst
close TO the nose Of Theodore Knox, the
chief officer, and for . moment blinded
him. The noise was like that Of pistol
discharge. No dstris struck the deck
and no smell va created. Tho balls
were atmospheric and impalpabls. They
are generally forerunners Of gale.

to do, so she kept on and on till she felt
she must somehow make up her mind to
leave that Car, and with desperate reso-
luton she stepped out on the platform
She found herself in a deserted part OF
the grounds, few gentlemen only get
ting out to go to the Brewers Hall.
Though there was crowd everywhere
else, it seemed very solitary here. Mrs.
Peterkins went round and round the
Brewers Hall, uncertain where to go. At
last a gentleman noticed her, and asked
if he could help her. When she told her
case, he asked if her family had appoint
ed any place of meeting in case Of acct
dent. Mrs. Peterkin thought she re-
membered their talking of the Main
Building as rendezvous. The gentle
man advised her taking the train directly
for the Main Building. She shook her
head; she had already spent the moru-
ing in the cars. The gentleman smiled but
asked her to 60 on with him and he
would show her where to get out.
Mrs. Peterkin joined him gratefully,
and they took train at neighboring
platform. But they had not gone very far,
and were making another stop, when
Mrs. Peterkin gave scream! There was
her family standing in row ready to re-
ceive her! She was SO agitated she
could hardly get out, and almost tainted
with delight at the meeting Nicholas.
