GREAT FIRE IN QUEBEC.

Nearly 700 Buildings Destroyed In Eight
Hours, With Loss Of Nearly S2.OO0,OOO-.
Burning of st Johns Church.
One of the most disastrous fires with which
this unfortunate city has been afflicted CON-
menced Wednesday night and was only got I'm.
der control at a. m. of Thursday. The ori-
gin of the fire was IN stable on st. Oliver
street, near st. Marie's street. The flames i'm
medistely spread to tho surrounding wooden
Marie's and Richelieu streets were quickly
masses of fire. for some 100 feet the flames
from the other side of the street overlapped in
wind from the north drove the fire rapidly in
the direction of st. Johns church, aud various
contrary local currents scattered die cinders
around in every direction The brigade found
the fire more unmanageable than ever. At
o'clock the changing bells of St Johns church,
in rapid and alarming tones, told of the danger
to that property and summoned assistance.
The whole efforts of the fire brigade were i'm
mediately bent on saving the sacred edi6ce,
but to no avail. Nothing was saved but the
sacred vessels of the sanctuary. The church
was worth at least 100000 and had an in
estimated at 1900, 900; insurance probably
5000, 900. The city engineer estimated the
humber Of houses destroyed at about 600.
Five lives have been lost Three bodies hava
been recovered-those of Mr.. and Mrs. Hardy,
lis Oliver street, and that of Merton, jointer
of Richelieu street Mrs Grorge Lapperiero
and two children are missing, and believed to
have perished in the flames. St Johns church
was insured for $G3, 900. A subscription
list has been started for the relief of the sur
ferers The governor general gives $500, the
archbishop of Quebec 81, 900, and the mayor
$1lO. Tho approximate losses of insurance
companies doing business here are from $780,
600 to $3OO,OOO.

Here is news which if Trustworthy

Here is news which if trustworthy, will
smooth the future pathway of the great
soldier of the republic. Gen Logan is re.
ported by Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Times as saying that General
Grant will never appear before the Ameri-
can public as candidate for any office
L had it from Grants own lips" he said.
This matter came up in q clsul conversa-
tion when the General was last in Washing
ton. He was very emphatic In his manner,
and, from what I know of him, / am GER
tain nc earthly power could induce him to
be candidate again." When Gen. Grant
returned from his trip around the world he
was regarded as the foremost man of all
this nation. Neither persons nor parties
cared to dispute his position. He held it
by common consent of the whole world
but few months in the dirty waters of
partisan and personal politics reduced him
to the level of an ordinary politician, and
comparatively few were so poor as to do
him reverence. He does not mean to be
caught again IN such 0 bad ay.

VennOr's Prediction For June,
ON Vennor's Almanac for 1881,

from Vennor 8 Almanac for 1881.
June is likely to prove warm, even hot
and dry up to about the 10th or 18th days.
Beyond these dates cool and showery
weather is probable up to the Goth, and
frosts are likely to be experienced pretty
generally both in Canada and the northern
states. A snowfall is not improbable in
mountainous regions. The neighborhood
of the 22nd and 23d days, look in the dis
lance, particularly cool and frosty, while
the Oath to the 26th dates, on the contrary,
smack of heat in the many sections of the
country. The neighborhood of the 29th is
likely to prove stormy in western Ontario
and western United States, the storms be-
ing, III all probability, accompanied by
thunder and lightning and hail. The month
will end hot in most parts, with threaten.
ing weather.
From letter dated May "a, 1881.
The "nerth waters" are only coming
down now, which is an indication of a wet
June. The warmest part of June is likely
to occur between the Goth and 25th, when
the heat may be excessive. June will be
marked by frequent severe wind and thun-
der storms. and frosts are probable be-
tween the 5th and 10th of the month.

HUMAN PINCUSHIONS.
How Needles and Pins Work in and Out 0
the Body.

How Needles and Pins Work in and Out o
the Body.
From the Londen Lancet
Hildanus related an incident of woman
who swallowed several pins, and passed
them six years afterward; but q more re-
markable instance Of prolonged detention
was recorded by Stephenson, of Detroit, -
that of lady, aged rs, who last year passed,
after some months symptoms of vesical ir-
ritation, pin which she had swallowed
while picking her teeth with it in 1886
forty 1.-TWO years previously. NJ. Silvy re-
cords some years ago, the case of woman
who had penchant for pins and needles 80
strong that she made them, in fact, part
of her daily diet, and after her death 1,4OO
or 800 were removed flom various parts
of the body.
Another case almost as striking has been
recorded by DR.. Gillette, that Of a girl in
whom, from time to time, needles were
found beneath the skin, which they per-
forated, and were removed by the fingers or
forceps. Concerning the way in which they
got into her system no information could be
extracted from her. She was carefully
watched, and in the course of eighteen
months no less than 800 needles were ex-
tracted, all being of the same size. The
largest number which escaped in a single
day was 81,
A curious phenomenon preceded the es-
cape of each needle. For some hours the
pain was severe, and there was considerable
fever. She then felt sharp pain, like
lightning. in the tissues, and on looking at
the place at which this pain had been felt,
the head of the needle was generally found
projecting. The needles Invariably came
out head foremost. No bleeding was occa-
stoned, and not the least trace of inHam-
nation followed. The doctor in attendance
extracted 8lS.
That little weight is to be attached to the
place at which the needles escape as proof
of their mode of introduction is evident
from case recorded by Villars of girl
who swallowed large number of pins and
needles, and two years afterwards, during
the period of nine months, two hundred
passed out of her hand, arm, axilla, side of
thorax, abdomen and thigh, all on the left
side. The pins, curiously, escaped more
readily and with less pain than the needles.
Many years ago case was recorded by
Dr.. Otto, of Copenhagen, in which four
hundred and ninety-five needles passed
through the side of hysterical girl, who
had probably swallowed them curing q
hysterical paroxysm; but all these emerged
in the region below the level of the dia-
phram, a1d were collected in groups, which
gave rise to infammatorylswellings of some
size. One of these contained one hundred
needles.
Quite recently DR.. Bigger described before
the society of surgery of Dublin case in
which more than three hundred needles
were removed from the body of d woman
who died in consequence of their presence.
1t is very remarkable in how few cases the
needles were the cause of death, and how
slight an Interference with function their
presence and movement cause.

and his head against the wall, perfect
picture of boorish, sulien discomfort; ut
length he broke out with:
II don't see, father, what you want to
give the Greely woodlot to the town for"
well, John, we've been prosperous and
re above board, 30 to say. and it's nothing
more than right that we should do some
thing for them thatll come after Hs-for
posterity."
"Posterity neuer did anything for 49,"
muttered John.
Mr.. Fisher twirled his thumbs with
comical smile and replied:
"True, John, and yet can't help think
ing of the third and fourth generation with
sort of love, eh?"
Il don't care pinch of snuff for poster
ity. Charity ought to begin at home" an
swered John.
$50 you want that lot, John, do you?"
said his father, musingly. I'm that case.
John, may as well trust yon to help on
education, and make yourself good name
in your native town. Ill give you a fair
chance, I'm sure"
Mrs. Fisher laid down her knitting with
a look of despair, and Susan gave the fire
up the big chimney.
"Give me the deed, John; it may as we'll
be included altogether"
Pen, ink, and paper were spread on the
little round table, and Mr.. Fisher drew his
chair in closer proximity to the fire. Open
ing the deed, he read, as he wrote on tie
face of the document:
"And 1 give in furtherance of the above
considerations. the piece of land, also,
known as the Greely woodlot, to have and
to hold by him and his heirs forever" etc.
John lcaned against the chimney side
while his father held the document high
up and and read aloud.
Does that suit my son. he asked.
Exactly" answered both John and
Susan in the same breath.
Mr.. Fisher leaned forward trihe, and
dropped the deed into the hottest of the
flame, saying, in low voice:
The mares mine now, John"
Susan sprang forward to rescue the pre-
cious document, but she burned her hands
with,rage. Mrs. Fisher was discreet woman
and she clicked her needles in silence.
Several minutes intervened, during which
the tick of the old clock, the chirp of the
cricket. and the c1ackling of the beech
wood sounded preternaturally loud. AT
length MIR. Fisher spoke, slowly and SOL
emnlv:
John, l hope you are not as bad as you
would seem to be, but you love yourself
and money better than truth, kindness, or
justice, and you've got wife more than
your equal in evil-doing. 1 wanted to try
you both. I've done SO, and YOU see how it
turned out. 1 will give you better start
than had when began life. I'll give you
the deed of the little farm below the ledge
where your mother and 1 Ipassed many

a smart girl, but you needn't call your
mother and me old any more"

CHAPTER III.

Several weeks transpire6 during which
the neighbors called frequently upon Mrs.
Fisher, and some ventured upon word of
coincidence, which she repressed by simply
saying:

was the spot of all others for rural church
or school house, and it was well known
that the preset owner had contemplated
donating 1t to one or other of these pur.
poses. Susan, who was not deficient In
imagination, declared it was just the spot
for pretty cottage, with garden sloping
to the brook.

clear, frosty October days SO lovely in that

TENS of thousands of good people are

Testament comparing it with the common
version. 1t is too soon for final judgement
upon the merits of the new revision, but
thus far the weight of Christian learning
and piety seems to be overwhelmingly in its
favor. Before it is generally read in the
churches, however, it must have the ap-

Clouds of white fragrance hid the thorn

Sweet love was born.

That stands amidst my hours alone,
A word, look, then-ah, that kiss!

Love was full grown.

What has to-day seen done, heard said? ?
