A Gin Smash.

In the British blue-book recently pub
lished some correspondence of Sir Garnet
Wolseley appears in which mention is
made of singular incident. He was
marching back from Secocoeni's town to
Pretoria with small escort, in charge OF
the chief and his family as prisoners,
when he met in a wild part of the country
three wagons loaded with gin and other
spirits intended for sale among the troops
in front. Feeling that this liquor would
completely demoralize the men, whose
high rates of pay as volunteers would
enable them to indulge freely in drink
at whatever price, and as he could
neither spare men to conduct the wagons
back to Pretoria nor take them with linn,
he ordered the liquor to be destroyed.
On returning to Pretoria Sir Garnet
consulted with the AttOrney-Goneral,
who informed him that he had made him
self liable for the value of the liquor
destroyed. Sir Garnet Wolseley compro-
missed the matter for &, 900 of our money
and reported what he had done to the
Secretary of War, who accepted the
liability and entered the item among the
miscellaneous charges arising out of the
Secocoeni war. Thus the contents OF
! ,0S3 bottles and 100 gallons of spirits
We're poured out on the ground, and
probably great disaster and disgrace,
such as might have befallen body of in
toXicated soldiers, was obviated.

THE NICE HORROR.
Over so Bodies Taken From the
Ruins and More Deaths Expected.

PARIS, March 24.-A great fire took
place, last night, in the Italian Opera
House at Nice. 1t broke out at the begin
ming of the performance. Fourteen per-
sons, who We're suffocated, were taken out
and their bodies were placed in the
church opposite the theatre. The first
dispatch said: at is feared that 100
men and women have perished in the
flames"
Nice, FRANCE, March 24-3 a. NIP
to this hour So bodies have been recov-
cred from the ruins of the Italian opera
house, which was destroyed by fire last
night. 1t is feared that many more per-
sons have lost their lives.
The fire commenced soon after the cur
tain had risen for the performance of
''Lucia Di Lammermoor. Most of the
subscribers for the orchestra stalls and
boxes of the grand tier had not arrived
and majority of the victims belong to
the working class.
Shortly after the fire began the gas eX-
ploded and the house was plunged into
complete darkness. A scene of terror and
dismay ensued which beggars description.
A detachment of sailors from the squad
ron in the harbor arrived on the scene
with pumps and displayed great gallantry
in rescuing people and combating the
| fire, which was subdued toward 10
| o'clock.
NJ. Strakosch, the Impressario, was
| slightly hurt. Signora Blanca Danadi,
one of the leading artists, made her way
| from the stage to the street safely.
One whole family of five persons and
another family of three persons are known
to have persisted.
Relief subscriptions for the sufferers
have been opened throughout Nice.
The regatta here has been counter
manded and the value Of the prizes tC
| have been contested for will be contrib.
uted toward the relief of distress.
LONDON, March 26.-The loss of life by
the burning of the Opera House, at Nice,
has been pretty accurately ascertained
There does not seem to be any foundation
for the statement that number of foreign.
ers are missing.
The opera house was built by the Gov
ernment about so years ago. The stage
fittings We're Of the very lightest materia
and the scenery was painted on paper
When the fire attacked these they burned
with great rapidity.
| The building mad only TWO doors, one
leading to the pit and boxes, and til,
other to the galleries. The latter wa'
only four feet wide. There was alst
an extra door marked ''available in cas-,
OF fire." but it hads not been opened TO
years and was found too strong and fas
to be forced.
The NJ. Strakosch, who was slight!
hurt, is Ferdinand Strakosch.

CIaY,s DeNotiom TO Whist.

Henry Clay's tavorite recreation for
many years was game of whist, to
which at one time he was passionately
addictcd-not for the stakes, but for the
distraction and excitement OF the game.
Mr.. Winthrop says that there is tradi-
tion that while Clay was visiting Boston
in ISIS. and lodging at the old Exchange
Coffee House, in Congress Street,a servant
rushed into the parlor in which he was
at the whist table with few gentlemen
of the old school, and announced that the
hotel was on fire. "Oh, there will be
time enough, think" cried Mr.. Clay,
'.to finish our game - and finish it they
did before the hotel was burned to the
ground. A similar tradition was current
in Washington at later period that,
while Mr.. Clay was Speaker, he and his
friends had passed whole night at cards,
and were still going on with their games
when the hour was close at hand for the
opening of the morning session of Con
gress. "Wait few minutes, gentlemen, y
said Mr.. Clay, "and will wash my face
and hands, and run down to the Hous,
and call John Taylor to the chair, anc
then will come back and we will have
another ru bier"

Death of "a Journalist.

John T. Crow, managing editor of the
Baltimore Sun, died suddenly in Balti-
more last evening, of apoplexy. He was
in his office yesterday week, attend
ing to his editorial duties, but complained
of general indisposition. As he was
about to leave the office for dinner, soon
after s o'clock, he was seized with an
apoplectic fit, and became speechless. He
was removed to Barnums Hotel about Il
square distant, where he died at $50.
Mr.. Crow was native of Maryland, and
had reached the 60th year of his age, He
became connected with the Sun in ls4s,
and its managing editor in 1856. A
practical journalist, possessed of clear
perceptions and sound Judgment in mat
tiers connected with his profession, he was
greatly respected for his personal integ-
rity and strict sense of justice. Mr..
Grow was married only few weeks ago.

Chicago Times,
Mr.. B. l.. McVickar, Secretary of the
Chicago Board of Health, was an un-
known instrument i'll saving the life of
the Emperor Alexander nearly II years
ago, in Paris. 1t was in June, 1867 when
the Emperor of Russia, the Emperor of
Germany, Bismarck, and other dis
tinguished personages were in Paris, and
Emperor Napoleon Ill. of France had
arranged grand review at Longchamps.
After the review, Mr.. McVickar and Il
friend went with an immense crowd OF
other people to the road by which the
carriages of the royal people would return
to Paris, in order to get Il closer view OF
them. Tha Americans worked their way
through the crowd To the front. Just as
the carriages was approaching the place
where the Americans stood, II man attempt
ed To push through between Mr. Me
Vickar and his friend. The Americans
resisted this effort to deprive them of their
good place, and kept the man back until
the carriage in which rode Napoleon,
Alexander, and the lattrr's two sons had
lust passed, when the man succeeded, by
stopping down and working his way
between the legs of the two friends, i'll
getting III front ut them, wlltn he llllille-
diatrly fired his revolver at the Emperor ;
carriage, the bullet striking the horse ol
onc Of the guards. He fired again, and
the barrel of his revolver burst, and ht
was seized. Mr.. McNickar's resistance
doubtless prevented his successful
sl1ot. Mr.. McNickar received the
thanks of the Emperor through the
Minister at Paris. On the eth of JUNE
there was IL celebration in Paris over th'
escape of the Emperor, and Mr.. McVickal
wrote poem on that occasion entitled
"The Emperor's Escape.

A flock of snow birds has lived for over
five years in the court house tower at
Norristown, Pa, yet with every stroke of
the bell announcing the hours as they
passed the birds have never ceased to
leave the tower in the greatest consterna-
ton, but maintain their position in the
air until the last stroke has fallen, when
they at once return to the tower. Thus
every hour has their rest been disturbed
during the entire period, without, how
ever, causing them to seek another lodg-
ing. The bell weighs nearly 1900
pounds.

Special Correspondence Of state journal
BosroN, March 22.-One of the most
deserving and practical charities in this
city is that known as the South End Diet
Kitchen, and the only drawback to its
usefulness is the lack of funds-a draw
back very apt to attend the working Of
any really valuable philanthropy. 1t
has been several years in existence, and
every season Increases its work and the
extent OF its usefulness very far beyond
the ratio of increase in its financial condi-
tion and this has been especially true
since the managers have assumed the care
of needy cases recommended to them by
the Associated Bonrd ofCharites, another
association, by-the-way, which does
vast deal of good to the poor
of Boston. The work Of the Diet
Kitchen is to supply nourishing food
to sick y, people who are too
poor to get these things themselves and
to whom they are frequently OF far more
value than doctors and medicine would
be. Since the first of December, the
average number OF daily applications
made has been over so, and the food sup
piled has been beef tea, broth, eggs, milk
and other diets. The milk bills alone Of

once owned by John Oliver, wealthy
English merchant. His only child, n
beautiful girl of %, was loved by a young
man whose only unftness to become her

was shot dead at the gate. Grief stricken,
her father erected 4 mausoleum upon the
