The Fire That Mover Goes Out.


About three years ago the 0Dserre,
reported the case Of a citizen of Neck.
lenburg county, N. c., who, having
married in 1S43, lighted a fire on his
hearthstone as soon as he carried his
bride to his new home, and had kept
it burning ever since. The citizen
was in town yesterday, and, being
questioned about the matter, stated
that the fire was still burning, and
that throughout all these thirty.six
years it had never been allowed togo
out. Questioned as to whether or
not it made the house uncomfortably
hot in torrid weather, he said the ex.
ira heat thus generated was not per-
ceptible. In reply to another ques.
tion, he said that in summer wealth
er, when it was necessary for com
forts sake to keep the fire burning
very low, he had to gel up frequent
at night to rcplenish it slightly, but
that he counted this as nothing when
he contemplated the idea of that fire
going out.
lie has evidently formed for it a
strong attachment, and yet one would
not take him for sentimental man.
But this fire is to him constant re-
minder of the day when he first
brought homo his bride. Around it
his children have grown up into
manhood and womanhood, and their
children have gazed into its light
1t was the last light that fell upon
the eyes Of his wife, and hopes that
it will be the last that will fall upon
his. Viewed thus, his sentiment in
the matter can be understood, and so
strong is this sentiment that with
the old man it amounts almost to a
passion. Charlotte Observer.

No Brag About Him.

An enterprising grocer in rural
town, comes out in force in behalf of
his Tin Tag cigar. In a modest cir
cular gently urging their purchase
and use, he says. "The tobacco from
which the Tin Tags are made is
grown entirely in conservatories, and
the cigars are made on mahogany
tables by thoroughbred Cubans in
swallow-tail coats and white kid
gloves. When q man smokes one of
these cigars, he walks on air, and
dreams, that he has diamond scarf
pin and a sixty.fve dollar suit of
clothes on, and just married rich. 1t
makes the breath sweet, and keeps
the teeth white, and will force a
moustache on the smoothcst lip in
five weeks. 1t improves and beauti-
fies the complexion, eradicates tan,
freckles and dandruff, and is enjoyed
by all the smokers sisters, cousins
and aunts.' 1t permcates the house,
window-curtains, closets, and clothes
with the delicate odors and exquisite
fragrance Of heliotrope, NOV n
hay, jockey club, and white rose. 1t
will fasten the front gate every night,
and carry in the paper in the morn
ing, chase the cats off the garden,
drive the hens to water, and hardly
ever fail TO make one feel better all
over. No welt-regulated family can
properly kcep house without them,
for the man who smokes this cigar
will never cut wood too long for the
stove, never swear when he puts up
stove.pipes, never step on lady's
trail, Join club, or go down to the
post-ofice after SUPPER"

A theological dispute between a
Christian and an in6del was settled
the other day in very practical, off

his belief in God as Che creator of all
things, and in Christ as the Savior Of
the world. The latter swore by OAR

book on "The Gods" They laid
their creed and books before a beer
drinking Teuton, who declared that
his religion was to eat, drink and be
merry, and he did notcarc about any
other. Taking up the infdel's book
on "The Gods" he asked who was
the author.
"Bob IngersoEl."
"Where does he live"
"Peoria, Illinois"
Taking up the New Testament he
asked the name of its author, and
was answered:
"Jesus Christ"
"Where does He liver

Then turning to heinfidel he said:

spread over his countenance; at last
she wore them, and for him.

1t was in the afternoon of New
Years Day, 1877, and the workmen
were putting the final touches to the
decorations in Mrs. Lancaster's beau.
tiful home, preparatory to a grand
ball to'be given there that evening,
the invitations to which were out in
| vast numbers. Mrs. Lancaster, her
daughter Gertrude, and her orphan
niece, Ethel Grey, were taking q
parting survey Of the rooms before
making their toilets for the evenings
festivities. The three were strolling
leisurely through, admiring the floral
decorations, which were remarkable
for their profusion and their artistic
arrangement, which left nothing
wanting nor to be desired. Every
thing seemed perfect and not one Of
the admiring trio ventured once u
suggestion to have anything differ
ent.
AT length they were through, and
Mrs Lancaster, with a final glance
of approval, withdrawing u long
breath of intense satisfaction, turned
to leave the rooms.
"Wcll, girls, am going to lie down
awhile" said Mrs. Lancaster, paus.
ing at the foot of the broad stairway.
"And would suggest that you both
do the same thing if you can. You
will be tired enough before you go to
bed tonight

"Well, let us lie down and rest
even though we do not sleep" said
Ethel, as the three mounted the
stairs, which in a few short hours
would be fairly creaking under its
weight Of human freight. Gertrude
and Ethel arriving ut their room,
threw themselves upon the bed, gay.
ly conjccturing the events about to
transpirc.
At length little by little their con-
versation ceased altogether, each,
however, busily engaged in her own
thoughts, and, strange to say, the
subject of their individual dream
ings was one and the same person
Edwin Grahamc-yet neither would
have acknowledged to the other that
he formed any part Of their rambling,
pleasant thoughts :
Presently Ethel knew that Ger
trude was asleep from her deep, reg
ular breathing; so conversation end
ed entirely.
Ethel did not sleep, and when
there was light tap at the door, she
arose quickly, and quietly opened it.
1t was Katie, Mrs. Lancaster's maid.
"Mrs. Lancaster Would like Miss
Gertrude or yourself, please, to ar
range a few flowers for her hair and
throat; she particularly requested a
fcw."
! "All right, Katie; I will do it my
self, as Miss Gertrude is asleep" and,
closing the door gently. descended to
the lower floor.
1t was but a few moments after
Ethel had left her own room, when
Gertrude awoke, and, disliking to be
alone and in the dark, arose and
hastily rang the bell for lights, and
for Katie to come do her hair.
Slipping on dressing gown, she
seated herself before her mirror, wait
ing for Katie rather impatiently, and
absently drumming u tattoo with her
ivory brushes, when a loud knock
at the door aroused her; and in an
swer to her summons TO come in, The
butler entered, bearing a lovely bQu-

center.

A Very Funny Thing.

During an excursion from this city
to Niagara Falls, and while at Cleve-
land, an incident occurred which will
never be forgotten by those who heard
Of it. The Kenard House at that
city was crowded with guests; when
an eccentric and witty druggist Of
smith-feld-street appeared late at
night at the hotel office and demand
ed a bed. The clerk replied that
there was only two vacant beds in
the house, one wherein was quarter
ed a'Pittsburgh morning newspaper
man, and the other in room where.
in was Pittsburgh evening newspa-
perman, who were with the excursion.
"To tell the truth, they are both
pretty drunk-so you may take your
choice as to which room you will
sleep in"
The druggist said that on general
principals he would take his chances
with the evening newspaper Journal
ist, as they excelled the morning
men in more ways than one, and he
would doubtless be so drunk that he
would lie dorthantly quiet all night.
He went to bed and was soon sound
asleep. The journalist, however,
awakened about 70 o'clock, and
thinking it long time between
drinks, dressed himself, unconscious
ly, in the druggists clothes, and SAL
lied ont to make night Of it. Ever
and anon he muttered, as he treated
all present.
"Funnieat thing 1 ever heard of.

So;astonished was the Lieutenant to
find the precious metal put to such
a common use, that he made further
search, discovering the very locality
at which they obtained the natural
ore. Their mining tools consisted
principally Of two or three old hatch
cts and axes, with which they cut
the ore loose as it clung, an almost
solid mass, to the side of q gigantic
mountain. For years the Indians
had visited many Mexican towns
even going as far as Moncoloya with
cargoes Of bullets of pure silver,
which they almost gave away. But
no one knew anterior to the discovery
made by the Mexican Lieutenant re.

the bullets. Now the locality is
swarhing with seekers after wealth,
and the richest silver discoveries
known have there been made.

Destructive Fire.

WHEELING, August T. Fire broke out in
Volcano, a town of 1000 inhabitants, in this
State, this morning, and is still raging fierce
ly. Half the town is in ashes now, and the
flames will probably not be stayed until there
is nothing to feed on. No water All the
stores, hotels, warehouses, telegraph Offices
and depot are destroyed. 1t is estimated the
loss is $1,000 probably more. The fire is
supposed incendiary.
A later despatch says the town was des-
troyed by the fire, and everything was total
loss. The fire originated in store building
of Thompson & Barnes, and was discovered
at about o'clock. The flames spread rapid
ly, and reaching some oil tanks they caught
fire and burst, the burning oil running
through the streets, setting fire to everything
on either side, transforming the streets into
n lake of fire. Almost the entire contents of
the stores and dwellings were destroyed, the
flames spreading with such lightning rapidity
all the buildings being wooden structures.
The fire was undoubtedly incendiary There
were two attempts made short time ago to
burn the town, and since that time night
watchmen have been put on, and had inst
gone of duty when the fire was discovered.
Total loss, $50 200.
