Last Friday afternoon, fire broke
out in the roof of building at the
,colored convent in the north part of
town. This building was intermediate
between the convent building and a
cabin, the intervals being about twenty
or twenty five yards. 1t was burned to
the ground. The other two buildings
were saved by Fire Co. No 2 Qcolored,)
who with their little engine kept a
stream of water first on one and then
on the other, which prevented their
taking fire. The Company cannot be
too hi ghly praised for their services on
this occasion the afternoon was very
hot and the fire made it hotter for them,
but they worked like Trojans. In fact,
some of them were afterwards sick in
consequence. Hope Hook and Ladder
Co, with their Truck, were on hand !;
but happily there were no houses to
tear down, ETC., and all they could do
was to assist the other Company. As
to the origin of the fire. the garrett was
infested with chicken lice, aad some
cotton and hay had been burned in an
ironspot to smoke them out. A house
on fire was the natural consequence.
A little sulphur would have been more
-efficaeious than hay and cotton, and
without danger; not more etiicacious
however than burning the house-there
are no chicken lice left where that
house stood.

Cotton picking has commenced in ear

crop will be much shorter than was an

Many thanks.for his kindness we wish
our friend all success in his undertake
ings. We have had few watermelons
lately, which by the way is not bad
sort OF dish for hungry man to ex-
ercise his digestive powers on, OF a
warm day and between meals and prob
ably as substantial and refreshing ia the
way of food as peanuts, popcorn or
green cucumbers. They We're well
named watermelons as they have quite

The world was advertised to come
to an end last Saturday, and we had a
frst-class reporter employed to give
our readers full account of it in this
issue. But in this as in many ether
things, we were doomed to disappoint-
ment. We had enough we thought to
scratch along and live without begging,
borrowing or stealing till last Saturday;
and it depended upon the happening of
the event predicted for that day,
whether we would kave any further
need for this worlds goods. We tried
to settle up all our debts, 30 that no
charges on this score would be brought
against us in the "dread hereafter" Z"
that was to have began last Saturday.
We did not "dun7 our subscribers
much, because we were not certain that
we would have need for what they
owed US but let them just think what
would be their condition non if the
world had collapsed, and they 'in debt
to the printer. We hope they will take
warning, repent, and come forward and
pay up. Now that the world may be
considered as having a new lease Of
existence, we will have need for the
money. So, dear Subscribers, pay up /;
you should be so glad that yeu were
not wiped out of existence last Satur-
day, that you should be willing to pay
at once.

The Irish Land Bill.


 LONDON, May 19.-A caucus of the Irish members of Parliament was held this after noon, and after a warm discussion resolu- tion to abstain from voting on the second reading of the land bill was agreed to. Among the wiser and cooler headed Irish members this resolution is deprecated and denounced as savoring either of childish obstinacy or wilful desire to maintain and prolong agita- tion for agitation's sake. One of these gen. tlem said tonight that the Irish liberal members presented united front on this question from the first and abstained from petty quarrelings and bickerings among them selves They would have so strengthened MT. Gladstone's hands that he would have had his bill on it's third reading by this time. The trouble has been, said this gentleman, that half of Mir. Gladstone's time had been taken up by trying to find out what the Irishmen really want and in vain attempts to get them to agree upon formulated state ment of their demands.
 In the House of Commons tonight debate on the land bill was resumed. MT. Chaplin argued that the measure meant sheer confs- cation. Rt Hon. J. Mansfield held that the bill was just and was necessary for the peace of Ireland. MT. Parnell maintained that the bill was defective in principle and would fail to secure tenants rights. He objected to the emigration clause and said that the curse of foreign rule was Ireland's misfortune. Sir Stafford Northcote after Parnell's conclusion said the measure would fail to pacify Ireland, and that the Tory party could not accept the bill without amendment. Lord Harrington declared that the Tories were inconsistent and were shuffiing. A motion to pass Lord Elcho's amendment to the second reading re- suited in 176 for and 352 against. Parnell and about thirty of his followers marched out of the House without voting.

America's Stand on Bi-MetaItfsm.
 PARIS, May 19.-The monetary conference was intensely interested in very able speech of Judge Howe, United States com missioner, who outlined the American posi- tion on the question of bi-metallism. ''The United States" he said, ''are not here on be- half of mine owners to bull the market for silver. Agriculture is our chief interest Our annual cotton crop is worth seven times the wheat crop, twelve times our corn crop, eighteen times the annual product of our silver mines. America is seeking for herself and the world broad and stable money ba- sis upon which the thirty thousand millions of the worlds indebtedness can rest. " Judge Howe predicted that this conference would have 8 free union on equal terms or nothing. The government of the United States offers to stand side by side with it's sisters repre- scented here in upholding the monetary func- tions of both gold and silver. The confer ence will probably soon take recess of sev- eral weeks to allow the delegates to commu- nicate with their delegates respecting the important declarations of Germany and Great Britain.
