WASHINGTON, December 30.-The
most expensive private residence in
Washington was almost entirely de-
stroyed by FIRE tonight. 1t was the
property of ex-senator Stewart, OF
Nevada, and was known as Stewards
Castle" The house stood on a large
lot on the edge Of the city, near the
English legation, and was erected
in 1873 in imitation of some castle
Senator Stewart had seen in Europe.
1t contained seventy rooms, including
a dancing hall and state dining room,
and each room was furnished in .he
most elaborate style, all the carpets.
furniture and upholstery being made
to order. Most of the fabrics used in
upholstering were purchased at the
Vienna Exposition of 1873, and
much of the furniture was made
in Paris. The cost of the build
ing and furniture was noe less
than a quarter of a million dollars.
The house was opened in grand style
at the marriage of Senator Stewards
daughter in 1874, but that was the
only entertainment given in it, as
Stewart failed in business shortly
after, and was succeeded in the senate
by Sharon. Since then the house has
been offered for rent, but was so large
that no one has ever been found who
was willing to take it even at nomi-
nal rent. 1t was originally offered at a
rental of S25, 900 a year, but Stewart
reduced the price to $1,000 without
applicants. The insurance, which was
originally $3.50, 900, was reduced to less
than half that amount two years ago.
Stewart has partly recovered his for
tune, and his wife came to Washing
ton a month ago and occupied the cas-
tie for the first time in FIVE years, ex-
pecting to live there permanently.
She had announced a reception ON
New Years day, and society people
expected TO see the spacious parlors
utilized. The fire caught in the heat
ing apparatus about s clock, aud al
though the entire fire department was
out the castle was totally destroyed.
Mrs. Stewart is stopping at the British
legation with Lady Thornton.

MISS POLLY ROSE.

I wish you knew Miss Polly Rose, who lives
across the street,
She is the most unlucky girl ever CHANGED to
She tpmbled down the steps one day and broke
her pretty nose;
To see it. you would think it must have stood
some fearful blO,Ds;
And then she got fractured limb when visit
By falling from the wagon when the horses ran
away.
She has most asthmatic wheeze whene' er abe
tries to cry,
And when she wants to cough or sneeze, out
falls her only eye
One day. when she went out to walk, her nurse
cutie angry grew,
And punched the other optic out, and left this
one aSkew.
So, with her badly-battered nose and SADLY
squirting eye,
It's plain to see her handsome days have long
since passed her by.
Her hair is getting very thin; she cannot wear
comb
There's not enough to braid or curl and so,
when she's at home,
She twists 1t up as best she can and ties it with
a string;
They talk of getting her wig if wigs are
cheap next spring.
She's kept her bonnet on of late whenever she,
has called,
But doesn't mind it if we laugh about her get
ting bald.
For all she has broken nose, for all her hair
For all one eye is gone, and she can't keep the
other in,
think they love her just as well as in the days
of yore;
Because of her unluckiness, perhaps they love
her more.
know she is a favorite, no matter where she
goes,
This most unlucky doll of dolls whose name is
Polly Rose.

A Swiss Forest Disappears.

:. AN occurrence, which may be par
TALLY or wholly attributable to the rude
shakings which Switzerland has recentlv
undergone, is reported from Quarter.
In the Canton of st. Gall A short time
ago the people in the neighborbood
noticed signs of uneasiness about the
Schnelbelberg. The summit of the
mountain appeared to be in a precari-
Gus position, and it was feared that il
might slip down and overwhelm the
Schnebelwald, an extensive wood in the
valley below. In anticipation of pos
sible catastrophe, great efforts were
made to cut down and carry away as
many trees as possible, though the men
engaged in the work wrought at the
peril of their lives. A few DAYS aro-
when fortunately there was nobody in
the wood, deafening report, like the
firing of heavy artillery, resounded
through the valley, and the mountain
was hidden from view by a thick cloud
OF dust. When it dispersed, the Schneb-
elberg was seen to be shorter bv few
metres. and the beautiful wood in the
Murgthal had diappeared beneath a
huge avalanche of stones and earth.

stout reeds, and fill them with cuculios.
If the cage is hung in dark room the
light from the cuculios is strong enough
to enable one to read print, if the book
is held near the cage. There is also a
small place underneath the body from
which this singular beetle emits light,
but the effect is not so beautiful as that
of the two beads on the head. If the
cuculio is disturbed by being shaken in
its cage, or in any other way, the light
it throws out intensifies until it is fairly
dazzling.
These beautiful beetles may easily be
brought across the ocean in their little
cages, and if guarded from cold air,
and fed plentifully with sugar-cane,
from which they suck the juice, or even
with coarse brown sugar moistened a
little. they will live long time.
These varieties of beetles mentioned
are only small handful among thou
sands, for there are more members of
this great family than naturalists have
yet been able to count. There are
beetles that fly by night, and beetles
that fly by day; some that live in the
ground, others in the water, and yet
others on trees and among the leaves
and flowers. They are of all colors,
and of varied appetites, some living
solely on insects, others on fruits and
vegetables and leaves of different kinds.

hind her. They had nice time which
they all remember, for they are all still
living. Lois Rowell, now Mrs. Chas.
