NUMBER OF LIVES LOST
81 Paul, Minn., Nov. l6.-A bulletin IN
the Pioneer Press from St. Peters, s,ys a
number OF lives were lost by burning and
freezing at the insane asylum. 1t is yariouslv
estimated at from twenty to fifty. The loss
on the building is $500 900. ~
A special dispatch dated 4 o'clock this
evening, says the scene at the burning of the
poor inmates in the hospital was heart rend. :.
ing IN the extreme. SO appalling A sight
has rarely been witnessed. The pstients in
the inner wings were males, and many "a.
fused to leave the building at all. They ran
up and down the halls screaming and CRYING.
and those who could not be cosxed nor
forced out Of the building became victims of
the flames or were sufiocsted. Those who
escaped fled half naked in oil directions and
could not be ove;taken The night was
bitter. cold, and the sufferings of these poor
wretches, half clothed and with bare iee;
can hardly be realized. There were about
SIX hundred patients in the building, and
what will be done with those who escaped
is u serious questio.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

In these dark days of doubt and fear,
When men forget the simple ways
or those who in the olden days
Kept freedoms pathway ever clear;
When oficeholding rogues abound,
And public thieves, rs yet uncaught,
Who set the peoples will at naught,
Are in the highest places, found;
When this bad clique, and that vile ring,
For plunder OF the public purse,
Are driving us from bad to worse,
And brazenly demand king;
Before the fatal deed is done.
Let every honest man look back
Along the c. ntury's shining track,
To our immortal Washington.
The first In war; he kept the field
'Gainst odds that might the bruvest daunt
And when oppressed by cold and want,
His steadfast spirit scorned to yield.
The first in peace; the peoples cause
Was his, and he could truly say
That he was willing to obey
As well as execute the laws.
First IN his country's heart he stands,
And through the years his n anne Will be
The synonym OF liberty
To freedoms sons in other lands.
He spurned the bribes Of place and power;
He fought TO free his cOuntrymen,
And not to crown u king again,
To blight and crush fair freedoms noWer.
Trained in patriotic school,
He knew what liberty had cost,
And, lest the grand result be lost.
Lett his example AS rule.
He taught the people what to shun;
And now, il We should fail to save
Tue heritage our fathers gave,
'Tis not the fault OF Washington.

OUT OF the WINDOW.

Out of the window she leaned and laughed,
A girlish laugh, lille. and foolish, and sweet
Foolish and idle. it dropped like d call,
Into the crowded, noisy street.
Up he glanced ut the glancing face,
Who had caught the laugh as II huttered, fell'
And eye to eye ior II moment there
They held each other as If by spell.
All in q moment passing there
And into her idle, empty day,
All in that moment something new
Suddenly seemed to finds its way.
And through and through the clamorous hours
That made his clamorOus, busy day,

And through and through the crowded streets,

He looked q moment, and seemed to see
A pair of eyes like the morning star.
