front, had not yet done more than
wrench and crack portions of the glass
case. For time it seemed as if this
would be the most that might happen.
The water seemed to be getting the
upper hand, and, as it fell in torrents
on the hot roof, such clouds of steam
were thrown up with the smoke as
would have completely hidden every
thing from view, but that our position
had been skilfully selected, and was
well to windward of the burning mass.
But presently, amid the roar of the
flames, there came dull heavy rum.
BILE for moment, and then with a
tremendous crash the roof fell in.
With it of course went the fragments
and framework of the glass case, and
the now charred and blackened chest
itself. had my eyes upon it at the
moment, and down it went deep into
the utter obscurity of the dense smoke
and steam which always succeeds to
this climax of cohfiagration. For
several minutes nothing was to be
discerned through the overwhelming
wreaths of black. gray fumes. But
presently. though the light from the
fire had been quenched, there began
to be visible, by the aid Of the increas.

of this pit of Acheron. Yet it was
not so very deep after all, for the FIRE
having originated on the second floor,
the falling roof bad only crashed down
as yet as far as the drawing room,
and there, when my eyes had become
accustomed to the spectacle of the
indescribable debris, l plainly beheld,
resting slantways across a stubborn

white chest; it was now split and
smashed, and its contents we're re.
vealed.

A PECULIAR DEFORMITY.

Cincinnati Enquirer: Last
night Mrs. Taylor, a widow
residing in Newport. brought
to the office of DR.. l.. G. Carr
her little girl, VINO has the
misfortune to he singularly
detormed. The left leg and
foot are Of prodigious size.
and extremely unshapely. The
mother said she was desrous
of bringing the case to the at
tention Of the medical frater-
nifty A ,arge-size photograph
of the girl was sent to this
office. The child is a hand
some girl, nine years of age,
very intelligent, and appa-
rently Ih2 ppy. The limb is
six inches longer than its mate.
The extra length is in the
tibula. The muscles are en-
ormously developed in front
of the limb, owing to the po-
sition the child assumes in
walking, giving, them the APP
pearance of a calf. There is
no development in the rear of
the limb. The knee and up
per parts Of this member are
developed in proportion~but
the great defornoity is in the
foot, which is ten times as large
as its mate around the ankle
and heel, also the outside of
the foot, embracing two or
three of the toes, although
greatly enlarged, have a nat
ural look. The rest ofthe foot
shoots out enormously, en-
larging as it goes. 1t then
stops suddenly, and the re-
naming two toes are as large
as goose eggs. They are on
either corner Of the mass OF
flesh, with a space Of five in
ches between them. They
still have the nails in position.
The child was deformed at its
birth, and the deformity has
been growing with the child,
who is living skeleton. 9th
erwise she has never had any
trouble il getting around. She
skips the rope, jumps and
PLAYS, and does not seem to be
embarrassed by the major
nation.

A FOURTH OF JULY SNOW-STGRM.

The following account Of snow
storm at Portland, Maine, is given
by the Advertiser "A remarkable
meteorological phenomenon was OBJ, :.
served in several places in this city
on Friday afternoon. About five
o'clock fakes of falling snow were
seen by many who could hardly
credit :;,eir senses. Sergeant Boyd,
of tho signal service, happened to
be out at the time. and caught sew
cral Of tie faxes on his sleeve. He
says such a thing might not occur
again in a hundred ye,rs. He ex-
plains it in this way: Artificial
snow may be formed in warm
room, tho air Of which has become
saturated with moisture form the
breath or any cause, by suddenly
admitting a current of cold dry air.
Shortly before FIVE o'clock a cloud
was observed rising from the south.
At the same time another rose from
the northwest. The current Of
wind that bore this along was cold,
while the opposing current was
warm and saturated with vapor.
These two intcrmingled, and the
effect was to form crystals Of snow.
The preceding heat and dryncss Of
the Cay also helped TO produce this
result. The barometer was very
low at the time, and the tEermo'ne.'
ter dropped fifteen degrees in ten
minutes. The minimum tcmpera-
,ure Friday night was fifty'seven
degrees. This sudden change was
no less remarkable than the snUw-
fakes

THE FELiClANA SENTINEL.
A CINCINNATI TALE Tackled TO A
SMALL BOY.

The Cincinnati Enquirer tells
tho 70 lowing remarkable story i:
calling George up to him the
doctor bent him over his left knee,
face downward. lie then raised
the clothing Of the child, and was
struck with unsoeakable astonish"
ment Upon beholding the rarest,
and at the same time, tho most as
founding eight ever presented.
There was the tail, sure enough,
and growing in just the same posi-
ton on the body % does that Of
dog, or any of the four-footed ami
malls. But here the resemblance
ceases. Instead of being slim, it is
more in the mature of pro.uber-
ance, gradually diminishing from
where it begun on the spine to
thickness Of perhaps three inches 10
diameter at the extreme point. This
point on the upper side is covered
with light, glossy, curling hair,
about four inches in length. 90
the left eide Of this protuberance,
or tail. arc indenturcs which are
close together, and have the APP
pearance Of embryo human feature,
whose development was suddenl "
arrested. To the touch this part
of the child feels like masses Of small;
bones under the skin, as il the skull
were inside, the parts Of which are
disarranced. These were quite
roughly haodled, but the little fel-
low made no outcry, and when az k
ed if it hurt, answered NO. The
posterior portions are ill., shaped
and seem to have merged with the
upper or thicker portion Of the pro-
tuberance. The tail can Ee NOV !.
cd at pleasure-like the wagging
of a dogs tail-and when he sits
down he is not apparently moons
venienced in the least. Many theo~
ries have been adduced as to the
cause of this lusus nature, but
none, perhaps, comes anywhere
near the actual soluticn Of it. One
is that the mother was bearing
twins, and that the living child vas
too strong, developed too much vi
tality for the other, and monopo-
]ized its mate, aud finally the iden-
t;:y of the other was entirely lost,
save this monstrous excresceuce thus
rudely described. What makes
this theory seem moro probable is
the fact that the hair spoken Of is
about tho length that might be ex'
pected on a child of that age"

THE PRINCE IMPERIAL.

The death of the young, brave and
brilliant Prince Eugene Louis Napoleon,
heir to the dethroned Napoleon dynasty
of France, by the barbarous Zulu8 of
South America, is one of the saddcst
events Of history. Born at the gorgeous
Palace of the Tuilleries at a time when
the late Emperor Napoleon III and the
beautiful Eugene were at the zenith of
their brilliant career, amid the booming
Of cannon and rejoicings, real or simu-
lated, of the mercurial Partisan popu-
lace, there is something inexpressibly sad
that this youthful prince, so amiable and
30 debonnair, should fall at the antipodes,
pierced through with speers of murder
ous savages and be left naked and bleed
ing to die alone upon the barren plain.
1t is true that this youthful scion OF
the house of Bonaparte was an exile
from the France that gave him birth
that the throne of his ancestors had
crumbled into nothingness, and that the
friends of the late Napoleon and his
dynasty are few and paratively fee
BILE. 1t is also true that the French Re
publcs is apparently firmly seated in the
affections of the French people, but fol
all that there are but few attentive OBJ
servers of the drift of events in France
for the last twenty years or more who
did not look forward to the possibility
nay, even probability, of this high-mind
ed and generous youths resurning to re
construct the fallen throne of his father
in the palaces that are eloquent with tin
NapoIeonic name. But this is now I
dream that never may be realized.

appeared in several of the daily jour

"rUE MYSTERY IN TAGaART's INN.-The gen

ham Forbes, at Taggarts Inn, has volunteered
an explanation TO a metropolitan magistrate,
which has completely eXonerated him. 1t may
be added that the police have at last obtained
such q clue TO the mystery, that the culprit cam

Several of the papers, within day or

being arrested on suspicion of murder, and
urged upon the police great caution IN

These articles profoundly satisfied the
spider-like detective. Paul Webber. "The

that the police are after Inn. He will be
