Fire on York StreeU.

The alarm from box g., at $50 p. m. yester-
day, was caused by flames issuing from R. f.
Bucknams grocery store, corner of York and
Park streets. The fire was discovered in the
right hand corner of the store and was said to
have arisen from some cause unknown. The
rear of the store was occupied by Mr.. Dyer as
fish market. The second story was occupied
as residence by Mr.. Bucknam. The fire was
confined to the lower story which was badly
burned. Mr.. Buchanan had an insurance of
$1,000 on stock, building and furniture with
Charles Sparrow, which will cover the loss
Mr.. Dyer had no insurance but said his loss
was slight.
After the fire, by some disarrangement of the
wires, an alarm struck from box II apparently.

Return of Gen. Hancock

Gen. Hancock returned from his trip to the
eastward last evening in the revenue steamer
"Levi G. Woodbury." Capt. Abbey. The trip
afforded the General long desired rest and
was very much enjoyed, although it was
cloudsd by the recollection of the Presidents
condition. The General was very DESTROYS
that all parade should be avoided and that he
should be considered as an ordinary tourist.
He visited Castine, Rockland and Bar Harbor,
and would have touched at Eastport, where
Fort Sullivan is situated, if it had not been for
the fog. Gen. Hancock, with Gan. Sawtelle,
Capt. Ward and Capt Merryman passed
/ through to Boston in this mornings early
train.

The Care of the Hand.

Many persons, especially farmers, neg
leet their hands. Hard work will, of
course, make the hands hard, but they
need not, on that account be untidy. A
black line at each finger nail is not a mark
Of working man, so much as it is Of a
negligent one. No matter what his oceu-
patton, one should no more come to the
table with dirty hands than with dirty
face. To keep the hands in good order a
brush is necessity. A mail brush" may
be bought for very small sum, and no
matter what may be ones work, he can,
by use of this, keep his hands in very
good condition. Rub the brush across the
soap and scrub the finger nails, not only
at the end, but at the base where they join
the flesh, aud if there are any other parts
of the hands that need it, give them a
scrubbing also. The daily use Of nail
brush and careful pairing of the nails
before they get long, will enable the hard
est worked farmer to keep his hands in
a comfortable condition. The greatest
trouble with the hands is from splitting
of the skin at the base of the nails, eaus-
ing what are called chang nails" this may
be avoided by little care. At each
washing of the hands, and after they have
been dried upon the towel, push the skin
downwards away from the base ofthe nails
by using the end of another.-American
Agriculturist.

Host and Guest in England.

The universal Difference paid to a mans
right to himself in England makes social
duties as well as social pleasures far
less onerous than they are with us in
America, where the relation Of host
and guest is a double slavery. The host
has the comfort aud amusement of his
guest so painfully at heart that lac often
becomes his oficious slave for the time
being, while the guest unable to refuse
his hosts continual and pressing offers of
iudiscriminate kindness, becomes in turn
the slave 10 his hosts notions Of amuse-
ment. He either has blindly to follow out
his host 5 programme, OF has TO rack his
own brain to furnish the latter with oP-
portuuities to show him attention. The
typical American entertainer cannot leave
bis guest alone; with the very best aud
most friendly intention in the world, he
begins BY imploring him to make himself
thoroughly at home" and Immediately
proceeds to make his house as little like
home as lies within human power. "What
would you like to do to-day p or "Would
not you like to, etc, ETC., to-day 2" are the
standard breakfast table questions.
In England hosts let their guests 90
just what they please. Go to spend a
week at an Euglishman's house, and you
may be sure that your host viii not put
himself out for you in the least, unless
you expressly desire it. Everything in
the house goes on as usual Just as If you
were not there. But per contra the house
aud all that IS in it are practically yours
while you stay within its walls. Your
host puts his servants, his wine cellar, his
larder, often his horses aud his game pre-
serves absolutely at your disposal. You
are at liberty to act and are expected to
act precisely as If you were in your own
house. You can order sandwich, bowl
Of broth, glass of wine or spirits when
ever you please you can announce your
intention of going of shooting the very
morning after your arrival, and guns aud
dogs are waiting for you. 1t is the com
mouest occurrence for men, arriving 10
the afternoon at friends house, to send
their dress suits down to the laundress to
be pressed before dinner In England
guests are not only told to "make them
selves at home" but are actually allowed
TO do so.

On Marriage.

Marriage, truly and rightly considered,
may doubtless be productive of great hap
piness-greater than it is possible to OBJ
tain under any other circumstances; but
it makes one shudder to think of the end
of so many of the beautiful imasinings Of
the young and happy heart. l look round
the world, and grieve over the holiest tie
that can exist on earth, and this because
people do not contract it from motives suf-
fciently high 1t is, or should be, bond
to exist through eternity-that complete
union of souls so beautifully typi6ed in the
Arabian belief, that, after death, the mar
ried pair melt into one angel.
1t is, on the contrary, frequently de-
based into merely sensual union, or one
of convenience or of gain. A gentleman
marries because he is in want Of lady to
rule his household, to receive his friends,
and, in fact, be a superior housekeeper.
A lady leaves the cherished home and the
love of her kindred, and all that has been
most dear to her, simply for a name and
for ring. How few ever thiRk of the
moral aud intellectual qualities of their
future companions! What are the gen.
eral questions asked of strangers who hap
pen to attract our attention ? Not are
they noble minded or generous, but are
they rich and handsome?
All good gifts are to be valued, but
surely those of the mind and heart are
more precious than merely physical attri-
butes, or the vain glitter of gold and sill
yer. Let US consider what love really is.
1t is not a mere selfish fondness it is a
gem of the purest water, unchanged by
time or circumstances it is eternal in its
nature, and beautiful as are the things
said of it they are less than the feeling it
self. The bosom that harbors it in the
fullest and highest sense has received
heavenly guest; living on like the sun,
through good aud evil, unchanged by false
hood or the worlds bitter trials. When
this sun first shines upon the heart it seems
as if higher aud far brighter existence
had begun for us The earth seems more
fair to US, the flowers never looked so beau
tiful, tie sky never so blue, the birds sing
more melodiously, the trees wave more
gladly in the breeze.
This season, the early summer Of life,
comes to most who are endowed with i'm
aginatiou, but it is often as feetingas the
FIRST bright, joyous days of the earth's
summer itself. Every woman should learn
that where her home is, there her duties
lie, aud she should make that home lit
tie paradise to all who come within its
magic circle. She should be very willing
to add to its comfort aud elegance, and
never forget to look her prettiest, and to
meet with loving welcome the husband
of her choice.

How ADOBE Bricks ARE MADE.-At
Las Vegas for the first time VIC saw the
adobe bricks in process of manufaeture-a
process simple enough. With hoe man
mixes mud, water and cut wheat straw in
the proper proportions to secure consist
ency, and then moulds it in box eighteen
inches long by ten in width. The bricks
are then spread in the sun to dry, and it
is not unusual to see grass sprouting from
them if the weather has been damp. From
these the mueh-gazed-at adobe house is
made, structure capable (in the climate
in which it is used) of enduring for 800
years The roofs of the ordinary adobes
arc almost fiat, and made of mud and
spread on about six inches thick There
is a popularity about these roofs When
it rains, they seldom leak until week
after, for by that time the water has an
opportunity of soaking through. This is
convenient for the inmates, as the weather
being then clear they can move out.
