Shocking Calamity.

Between twenty and thirty lives were lost by
the burning of the large wallpaper manufacto-
ry of NJ. II. Brge q Sons, in Buffalo The
structure was a fve-story brick, 800 feet in
depth and so feet wide. About $50 men and
boys were employed in the building A dispatch
from Buffalo gives the following particulars of
the sad disaster About ten minutes before 6
o'clock one OF the men employed i'll the third
ttory reported TO the foreman, Thomas Henry
who was on the floor below, that one of the
printing machines was on FIR. He speedily
made his way up stairs, and saw the press at
the rear of the roo.l envelo ped i'll flames, which
had, by this time, spread to the adjacent
woodwork, while the place was filled
with dense smoke. AS temperature of GO
degrees is maintained continually throughout
the factory, to assist the drying process, and
as this had rendered everything as dry a.
tinder Mr. Henry reslized that the spread of
the flames would be terribly rapid, and 1t was
folly 10 think that anything could be done TO
avert IL. He turned and ordered the employees
TO fly for their lives, Immediately warning as
best he could those who were IN the fourth
and fifth stories, they being principally boys. In
the meantime an alarm had been sounded. to
which a portion of the department responded,
and second and general alarm brought the
remainder The scene now presented was one
that would touch the stoutest heart The
building was wrapped III seethlng flames. En-
plOyes jumped from the highest windows,
while many boys i'll the two upper stories, who
bad been unsuccessful III thelr efforts to es-
cape, or became too bewildered TO follow the
example of their companions, appeared
at the windows with white and ter
rifed faces and frantically shout
cd for help. But their torture was
of brief duration, for, almost simultaneously
with their cry for aid, they sank back. overcome
by suffocation from the smoke, and, within
twenty minutes from the time the alarm was
sounded, the walls crumbled and fell with
crash. One small boy, whose name could not
be learned, courageously jumped from the fifth
story, and, catching the telegraph wires, which
then gave way, slid down one of them, anc
escaped with badly cut hands. John Malone,
aged 10 years, jumped from the fifth story,
struck the sidewalk, and was almost instantly
killed. John Fields employed AZ oveneer
among the boys. jumped from the fourth story
and was picked up dead. John T. Berry
jumped from one of the upper stories

AA0tLer New Plan,.

A curious plant has been discovered in
Wisconsin, which produces kind of
cotton and fax from the same stalk. An
exchange says 1t has already been
woven into fabrics, and, as any article
that will make as good cloth rs can be
made from this plant will make good
paper, it has been called the paper
plant. It can Re planted in the spring
and cut in the fall and winter. 1t
bleaches itself white as it stands, and it
will yield three or four tons to the acre.
From single root that was transplanted
last spring grew twenty large stocks,
with three hundred and sixty-five pods
containing the cotton, at least sixty
seeds in each. From this root were OBJ
tanned seven ounces OF pure cotton. and
over pound of flax. 1t is q very heavy
plant, and grows from six to seven feet
high.

A Discriminating Pickpocket.

Dickens was the owner of watch
which he priced very highly, it having
been a present to him from the Queen.
He would not accept an empty title; but
he could not refuse to accept simple
token of his sovereign's friendship and
esteem. One evening, while at the
theater, in Paris, that watch was stolen
from him. His guard-chain had been
worn very conspicuously, and on his
way out through the lobby and crowd,
tbe inestimable souvenir was adroitly
taken from his pocket-chain, seal,
and all.
After leaving the theater. Dickens
spent an hour, more or less, with some
friends at q cafe, where he told his loss,
being free to confess his grief and dis
gust0grief for the departure of priced
token of friendship, and disgust with
himself that he should have allowed o
French pickpocket thus to despoil him
If it had been pupil of Fagin's-an art
ist from the historic precinct of Tom
all-Alone's-he wouldn't have minded it
so much. 81 wouldn't have believed
Frenchman could do it," he de-
clared.
But surprise was in store for him.
On returning to his hotel, Mr.. Dickens
was met by the concierge, who had a
package for him, which gentleman
lad left there half an hour before On
taking it to his room, and opening it, he
found his watch, with the following
note, written in very fair hand, laid on
top:
SIR: hope you will excuse me for the lib
ery l took. / thought 1 was relieving a
Frcnchman. never dreamed that was deal
ing with countryman. But the inscription on
your watch told To me my mistake. and that
mistake hasten to repair 80 far an it lies in my

Dickens went to bed feeling very
thankful that he had his royal souvenir
back again and, moreover, thankful
that he had not been toyed with and
despoiled by Frenchman

How to Get Kich.

Everybody wants to get rich. Almost
anybody can become rich If he likes to
apply himself to the matter. The
trouble is that every one wants to get
rich at once and without exertion. Many
seek to do this by speculation. If
person had obtained control of 100000
bushels of wheat on Saturday last, which
could have been done by putting up a
margin of one cent per bushel, he would
have made S3, 600 by Monday, and would
brokers' commission. This would be
reasonable profit for a days work at
doing nothing. III he held on till Tues
day 1000 of his profit would have been
wiped out, and probably by tomorrow
he would have lost his margin and every
thing else beside. Still people only
look on the gaining side of the matter,
and thousands are striving to get rich i'll
this way. One out of every thousand
will probably succeed. A gentleman of
Detroit, who is worth over $780, 900,
gives his experience in getting rich, and
the beauty of his plan Is that 500 out of
1000 can, by fair management, get rea-
sonably "well off," while many will be-
come rich. He says: "Young man, save
one-third of your earnings. If you get
So week, pretend that you get only 81
and put away the other 81. On no ac-
count touch that reserve fund to spend

percent. mortgages, with frst-class
security, are not 50 hard to find as per-
son might think. Add the interest to
the reserve fund and keep on putting it
out on mortgages. Bhis method is slow
but it is sure. "-DetyOH Free Press.
