Jones, have you heard of the FIRE
that burned up that mans house and
lot !?
No Smith where was it?'
'Here in the city.
'What a misfortune. Was it a
housei'
Yes, nice house and lot-a good
home for any family
'What a pityl How did the fire
take 2
The man played with fire, and
thoughtlessly set it himself.
'How silly Did you say the lot was
burned, too?'
yes, lot and all. All gone, slick and
clean.
That's singular. 1t must have been
a terrible hot tire-and then l don't
we'll see how it could burn the lot.
No, it was not a large fire, nor 4
very hot fire. Indeed, it was so small
that it attracted but little attention.
'Bat how could such a little fire burn
up house and lot = You haven't told
me.
1t burned a long time-more than
twenty years-and though II seemed TO
consume very slowly yet it wore away
about $3.50 worth every year, until ii
was all gone.
4 cant quite understand You yet.
Tell me all about it.
'Well, it was kindled in the end OF a
cigar. The cigar cost him, lie himself
told me, twelve and half dollars a
a month, or $3.50 year and thai, in
twenty -one years, would amount to S3,-
$50, besides all the interest. Now the
whole sum wouldn't be far from $lO,.
900. That would buy a fine house and
lot. 1t would pay for a large farm IN
the county. -
'Whew guess now you mean me,
for | have smoked more than twenty
years but l didn't know it cost as
much as that. And | haven't any house
of my own. Have always rented
thought was too poor to own house.
And all because | have been burning 1t
up What fool have been!
The boys had better never set fire
which costs so much, and which, though
it might be so easily put out, is yet so
likely, if once kindled, to keep burning
all their lives.

public meeting held tonight to take measures
for the proper observance OF the Inauguration OF the
next President OF the United states The meeting being
divided between having ball and suitable reception,
the subject was LEFT to Executive Committee for
determination OF the question.
The only vote to-day which tested the strength Of the
flbustcrs was that the motion made by Mr.. Popple-

take recess until at 10 o'clock. On this vote

InY rELEGNArm TO THE TRIBrNE.l

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRGBCNEl
WASHINGTON, Feb 2G.-lhe insncerity of the OBJ
iectlons TO Rhode Island was demonstrated by the
fate they met III the Senate Not a single vote was
given to sustain them.
The two Senators who signed them were Kelly
and GORDON After the formers performances in the
OREGON case it surprised nobody that he should be
foupd ,Gpcrating with the ibusters of the House.
But even he had not the harihood to 90 against his
partv solid as il was for counting the whole Rhode
island returns He refrained from voting
when the roll was called. Mr.. Gordon's position
astouished all his friends, for he has
been rockoned among tie most conservative South
err men. He did not answer when his name was
called, but after the roll was called he voted Yea
with the rest thus virtually declaring that the OBJ
iartions he had signed good for nothing except
70 produce delay. The probable explanation of his
inconsistent course is that he was Oyer-persuadcd
by some of the obstructonlss oput his name 20 the
paper and did $50 without knowing the facts Of the
case
According to Mr. Bayard who made short speech
before a vote was taken, Rhode Island behaved
admirably in the matter of her ineligible clectOr,
and showed by calling her Legislature together to
remedy the defect that the other States in similar
fix ouebt to have done the same thing. Instead of
ohioct,np 70 her vote Mr. Bayard seemed to
think the Democrats should be very grateful to the
little state for giving them argument against
couptiug the votes of men in other States who
mt IN the places of ineligible electors without
special legislative action.

COUNTING THE VOTES.

A SEPARATION on SOUTH CAROLINA.
PENNSYLVANIA AND RHODE ISLAND CoUNrED-RE-
PUBIICANs NOW PERFECTLY CONFIDENT
DECLARATIONS FROM THE COUNTRY.
Congress met in joint convention twice yes
teIday. The first time the votes of Pennsyl-
vania were counted, against the protest Of the
House. Rhode Island, the next State in
order, was objected to by the Democrats.
The houses separated, and both voted
down the objections almost unanimously.
They then reassembled counted Rhode
Islands votes, and separated on South
Carolina. The Republicans will consume
very little time in arguing this case, and
the Commission hope to dispose of it in one
day. Republicans are fully prepared to see
that the count Is finished by the President
pro TEN. if the Democrats compel it. The
Senate is arranging to elect President pro-
TEN. whose term does not expire March 4, to
provide against contingencies, Wade Hampton
and the merchants Of st. Louis and Pittsburgh
have pronounced against delaying the count.

AT GOV. HAYES'S HOME.

RETURN OF THE GOyERN0K-ARRIVAIS-RUM
PIOT OF AssAssINATION-sPEECH BY THE GOV
ERNOR AT SPRINGFIELD.
COLUMBUS, Ohio Feb 26,-Gov. Hayes and family
returned from Fremont this evening, and at once
went to his residence, which Is closed to intruders
Among the arrivals to-day were Demas Barnes of
New-YoTk ex-GOv. Beverage of Illinois, and eX-
Gov. James Ashley of Toledo. Gov. Hayes left the
cityin so quiet manner on Saturday that it did not
become known for several hours that he was out Of
town.
The Democrats seem to have given up all hopes
now of Congress being able to defer the count and
they are much more disposed to accept the decision
with good grace than at any time yet. Business
men of both parties are tired of the long delay oc
casioncd by the uncertainty, and will denounce any
action of Congress to delay the final decision.
There is a rumor in circulation that plot has been
discovered by which the train bearing the President
elect to Washington will be wrecked, and Gov.
HAYES assasSinated. Little confidence is placed in
the story.
CNCINNATI Feb. ga special dispatch to The
Gazette from Springfield, Ohio, SAYS Gov. Hayes,
while Ell route from Fremont TO Columbus, passed
an hour in Springfield to-day. He was escorted TO
one of tie hotels and being introduced to the people
made brief speech. He expressed congratulations
that in weeks time this business which has occu-
pied the attention of the country for eight months
would lie over. He hoped the people would
acquiesce quietly whoever might be the person de
clared elected. He believed the country desired
peace and security, and thought this idea should he
the expression of the people to their representatives
at Washington. Realizing his lack of special fit
ness for the duties which he might be called to per-
FORM he placed his trust in Almighty God who rules
the destiuies of nations These remarks were re-
ceived with applause and the crowd did not disperSc
until the departure of the train.
A FAREWELL RECEPTION TOMORROW.
'COLUMBUs Ohio, Feb 2G.-ATangcmcntS are

regard to party, to give brilliant farewell reception

heels of the one just passed through. 1t accepted
the Commission with JOY as a certain mode of pro-
ducing an undsputed result by the 4th Of March.
What it wants is a President. and not new
struggle. 1t will welcome any constitutional pro-
gramme that defeats the desperate men who from
selfish designs or motives of revenge are seeking to
plunge it into an abyss of fresh strife. The people
now know that there is but one alternative TO the
installation of Hayes, and that is a pro tempore
President, with doubtful title to office, nine
months of party rage and then an election, with the
same wrangle over the count likely to follow. If
the flibuSters devise new trick to defeat the
completion of the Commissions work, they will
look to the President of the Senate to deliver them
from these evils. E.v.s
