FIRE IN CHARLESToN.-Thc NeWs
dnd CoWli9r Of Thursday says: The
alarm Of fire sounded in the seventh
ward about o'clock this morning was
caused by the burning Of the large car
shed north of the Line street dcpot of
tic South Carolina Railroad. Moth
ing is known Of the origin oftl.c fire
bcyontkthc fact that it commenced Mt
the north end ofthc shed. The flames
spread SO rapidly that the entire shed
was in flames almost before the alarm
could be given and by the time the up
per division engines arrived at the
scene the entire yard north of the de-
pot was in flames. AS there were no
facilities for obtaining water the fire.
men could do nothing but watch the
flames and keep them from spreading
farther south ward. BY 3 O'Clock they
had burned out everything within
reach. 1t is impossible, owing to the
latencss ofthc hour, to state the exact
amount ofthe loss, but ii must be very
heavy. All the passenger coaches of
the company housed in the shed, some
fifteen or twenty in number, were con-
srmcd. In addition to this it is csti-
mated that between twenty and thirty
freight cars lying in the yard were de-
stroycd, although many were pushed
out Of reach Of tho flames. Some of
these, it is said, were loaded with fer
tiliZcrs, but most Of them were empty.
The shed, which was $40 feet in length
and about 80 wide, was of course en-
tircly destroyed, as were also the tracks
and crOsstics OH all the lines leading
into the city.

PR1NCELINGs TATTOoED.-Thcrc is
another social event that has caused
Mayfair to tottcr on it's base. An an
nouncencnt has been made, no one
knows how, no ono knows whence, to
the effect that the Prince Of Wales two
sons, Prince Albert Victor and Prince
George, who are serving on board a
man-ot-war, have been tattoocd on the
nose with India lax. The society
journals arc hystcricaI on the subject.
1t appears that the symbol ola broad
arrow has been artistically imprinted
on either of the princcly nostrils. The
thought of bowling the knee to a tat
toocd king is altogether too much for
Mrs. Grundy. The rilcgc wrougl t
upon the cOuntcDanccs Of the Lords
annointcd has provoked a torrent of
Indignation. Vanity Fuiy comes for
ward to STEM the tide. 1t learns on
excellent authority, from source
which it believes to he peculiarly rclia-
blcs-hinting, indeed, that it is official
ly charged to make the announcement
that the mark on the side Of tho nose is
only tho eighth of an inch long. This
has so far allaycd the excitement, which
had even spread to club land, that in
tcrcst is once more taken in the coming
ducllO between Sir Garnet WolsclcV
and the bold Doctor Russell, arising
from charges, made by the latter. that
the British showed great inhumanity
in the Transvaal.

request him to obtain photographs of

is division Of opinion among promi-
nent members Of the Masonic Order
as to the origin of I'rccmnsonry-som
maintaining that it is descended from
the scat of ancient civilization, while
others arc content to recognize its
origin in the Middle Ages. Among
the latter are those who have given
the subject great attention and have

resided. 1t is rumorcd that the rcfns-
al ofa fair daughter Of Israel to rccip-.

but cratic some say not always sane.
He was reckless as an editor, and was
recently challenged bv young Charles

Both parties were willing to fight, but
tho seconds could not agree upon the
terms. Young Mood was we'll ycstcr-

ORIGIN OF THE DARK HORSE

Many years ''bcfo dc wah" there
lived in Tennessee an old chap named
Sam Flynn who traded in horses, and
generally contrived to own speedy nag
or two which he used for racing
purposes whenever he could pick up a
''soft MATCH during his travels. The
best of his flyers was = caal-black
stallion named Dusky Pete, who was
almost a thoroughbred, and able TO 30
in the hest of company. Flynn was
accustomed la saddle Pete when ap-
preaching town, and ride him into
it, TO give the impression that the
animal was merely "a likely boss,
and not flyer. One day he came TO a
town where a country race meeting
was being held, and he entered Pete
among the contestants. The people of
the toxin, not knowing of his ante
cedenis, and not being overly impressed
bJ his appearance backed two or three
local fayorites heavily against him
Flynn moved quietly among the crowd,
and took all the bets that were Offered
against his nag. Just as the '4fiyers''
were being saddled for the race old

ACCURACY IN BUSINESS.

Never make an assertion unless you are
positively certain that you are exactly
right. Let your reputation be such
among your neighbors, that they can de
pend on anything you say as just pre-
cisely as you state il. If you sell a
pound of sugar don't give your customer
fifteen ounces, or seventeen, but just ex-
actly sixteen. We remember in our own
experience a man who was certainly not
prepossessing either in appearance or in
manners, who had built up trade which
was eXcelled by none in the town where
he was situated. We wondered at it,
and asked a friend who traded with the
man referred to- if he could tell us
the secret. THE whole thing says he,
us that when you buy pound of meat
or pound of coffee Of B, you are GER
tain of getting just exactly what you pay
for" and that was the whole secret of
his success. Make it habit of being
accurate in everything, not only in what
you say and in your weights, but in
everything you do. Never make a SIN

what you want. Be accurate in your writ

Commodus, who ate even in the bath;
VItcllius, who ceased eating only when
he slept; Dominican, who ate "out of his
hand" TO stay his stomach in the inter
walls of regular repast.
Heliogahalus was perhaps the most
elaborate, Vitellius the most extravagant,
in his daily fare. The latter squandered
in seven months $35, 100000, chiefly on
his table. The total staggers belief, but
