An Awful Holocaust.

The Hong Kong Mail says: At
Tientsin, on the TIN of Janilary, a
terrible calamNy-"eccurred. A fire
broke out at 10 o'hlock in the morn
ing, at one OF the relief yards estab--
hshed ontside of the city wall for the
benefit Of the famine retugees. A
strong northeast wind was blowing
atthe time, and scarcely an hour
passed before all the sheds were
bntned, and betweeh $500 and 5000
women and children were sufToeated
or burned to death. As correct an GO
timate as can get gives the number
of inmates as 1900 Of whom only q
little over 400 escaped. The lccas
tim of this soup kitchen was unfor>
tunate. On the east side was the
city ditch; OH a past OF the south and
west sides was an ice pit, while
houses lined the remaining sides. In
addition, it was surrounded by q
strong fence of kauling stalks plas-
tered with mud, in which there was
only one gate, and it is said that on
che bursting forth of the flames the
gate ke9per locked the gate and ran
away. Many of the chinese showed
much courage in trying to render as.
sistance, as testified by an eye wit
ness, WHO, passing just at the time,
FASTENED TO do what he could in tear,
ing down the fence and rendering
other services. He speaks of tie
scene Of that time as terrible beyond
description. The scene presented
after the fire had done its work was
ghastly and horrible, and the picture
of it rises before my mind as one
that can never be effaced. The cons
tortions Of the features, the positions
of the bodies, hands limbs, mouth
and eyes, the same as when the
flame and smoke overlook them, re-
minded one OF the descriptions OF
PompeH. Had the gate been left
open probably many more might
have mace their escape, but so rapid.
ly did the flames spread through the
mat sheds, and in the straw and mats
spread on the ground as a projection
against dampness, that before an
opening could be made in the fence,
few even were left to linger on in
suffering. low the fire originated
no one seems to know-a spark,
probably, from the range where, at
the time, the millet was cooking.

REPUBLICANS PREFER T1LDEN TO
HAYEs.--It is useless longer to con-
ceal tho fact that the Republicans are
setting very tired of Hayes. 1t is
conceded. that his course is sapping
the Me and wearing away the energy
of the Republican party. It is SOL
emn fact to day that in, Washington a
majority OF Republican Senators and
Representatives would rather see
Tildon in the, White House than
Hayes. There are but five or six
Republican Senators (so calIed) who
sustain the administration, and tbore
are not twenty all told in the House,
so that in an emergency Hayes would
be almost utterly without any sup.
port. Toledo Journal.

More About Mr.. Hayes.

The following, considering that ID
comes from the Philadelphia Times,
a paper published in loyal north is
full Of Significance: ''Ihe trnth, is
that retribution has come upon the
Republican, party with q swittness
and force that is almost impossible
TO withstand, and, the sarcasm of des-
tiny is seen in the fact that the hand
that deals the blow is the hand OF
him whose promotion to place and
power, as the representative of the
party, great crime was committed
The consciousness OF this crime rank
ing in the breast of every Republican
who witnessed the electoral frauds
without a protest makes the situa"
tion more critical. AS man after
man becomes alienated from the adj
ministration he falls into line with
the opposition and tries to calm his
conscience by condemning fraud
even louder than the regulation Dem
ocrats. The yell of "fraud" is be-
coming SO general that it browns all
other party cries political watc! II
words. Clearly the first thing to be
d>ne, if the Republican party is to
be restored to lite, is to stop this din
that falls upon the ear of the leaders,
now like the roar of the tempest and
now like the kuell Of departed hopee,
but always in tones that strike terror
to the guilty conscience. This is
task for Hercules and Hercules is
not in the Republican ranks at this
time. It looks very much as though
the obj ct cannot be accomplished
without the removal Of the fraud it.
self, or all that now remains of it, and
That operation is very likely to kill
the patient"

The inside as we'll as the outside O.
farmers homes should be pleasant
Tho eye naturally loves what is beau
tiful, and through this organ tho taste
is educated and the mind enlarged.
Pleasant pictures on the walls, wreaths
of flowers from the garden, fields and
forest, works of poesy, fiction and
science are within the reach Of the
most humble, and their influence for
good upon the mind and character
cannot be over-estimated. Tho chill
dren especially arc attracted by these
adornments, and their attachment to

The bare walls Of too many of our
country homes-their total lack of
any food for tho mind, in tho shape of
books and papers-tho humdrum life,
which trowns upon all pleasures and

NEW York, March lO.--A special
from Atlanta, Ga, says: "The city of
Atlanta experienced to day the Sc
verest wind storm or rainless tornado
ever known here. The storm burst
suddenly about IL o'clock a. M, and
when all the churches wero filled with
worshippers, and lasted, without rain
but with steady and tremendous force,
for two hours. The Episcopal Church,
like others, was filed at the hour for
the commencement of divine service,
and no thought of danger was enter
tanned by the congregation; but dur>
ing the early part of'the service, the
wind suddenly rose and shook the
whole building to it's foundation. The
officiating minister realized at once
that o tornado had struck the builds
ing, and knowing it was merely q
question Of minutes to secure the
safety of the people, he cried out to
them to throw themselves undo: the
seats. This advice the congregation
at once followed, and not a moment
TOO soon. With a few fearful creaks
and jars OF it's roof and walls, tho
wholehui!diRg crumbled into q shapes

great mass of the congregation, but
eighteen were seriously wounded by
the falling timbers. Nons of those,
however, have died. Several other
