A Spanish CITY at Night.

As the shades of evening descend,
this whole street, illumined with lamps,
torches, and parti-illumined with
lanterns, becomes fairy scene. The
cafes are then crowded to repletion !:
youthful eyes flash love at each other
over glasses of snowy Horchatas old
men sip their spiced cognac and dream
of the isles of blessed, and fiery politis
tians rave and stamp and seem ready
to tear each other to pieces. Here a
group OF artists discuss picture there
q couple of padres are trying their hands
at cards ; here is a young r,ilit1ire, fresh
from Madrid. covered with spangles and
as gay as peacock and there in that
corner-can you believe your eyes l.
the veritable old beggar that you Just
saw in the street, investing the piesta
that you gave him in nightcap of invig-
Grating cordial. Every rank in society
is represented; every variety of color
and costume flashes out beneath those
brilliant lights, while your ears are
assailed by the din of voices. the tink-
ling of glasses. the sharp click of the
dice on the marble table, intermingled
with the strains OF delicious music.
This Is De las Siarpes by night. Would
you not like to see it It is phantas-
magoria of splendor; it is a babel Of
confusion it is pa. ye from the "Arab-
ian Nights Entertainments supple
mented by sundry passages from the

Fire.

LYNcHBURe, Va, February o.
The fire at Liberty, Va. originated in
the general merchandise establish
ment of o. P. Bell, a large brick
building in the center of the town
on Main Street. A high wind was
prevailing which caused the flames
to spread rapidly. The Star Office
caught, and the flames communicated
to several houses belonging to
Hoffman & Tate, and to the property
of Mrs. j. 0. Herstly, and that of
Mrs. William L. Holt, all of which
was destroyed. The building oc-
cupied by the Bank OF Bedford
barely escaped. The mayor of
Lynchburg was telegraphed to for
assistance, and hook aud ladder
company, sent by special train,
rendered help in checking the
progress of the fire, which was gotten
under. control after three hours
raging, and destroying almost an
entire block. An estimation on the
loss makes it between $4,000 and
$50 QUO, which was partially insured.
New YORK, February % Thomas

A Metaphysical Combat.
New Orleans Times.

The great colored preacher of the
Baptists is pitted aga nst the
Methodist divine. He first says:
DE Methodiss, my bruddren, is like
de grasshopper-hoppin, all de time
hoppin'-hop into heaven, hop into
heaven, hop out. But my bruddren,
de Baptiss, when he get to heaven,
he's dar. De Baptiss is like de
'possum. Hunter get after him; he
climb de tree ; he shake de limb, one
foot gone; he shake de limb,
anudder foot gone; he shake de
limb, ebbery- foot gone but tink
you, my bruddren, 'possum fall :?
You know, my bruddfen-you
cotch too many-you know pos
sum hang on by de tail, and de ber-
ry debbil can't shake him of" Then
Metbody fell below par in the color-
ed folks heat, until some time after
ward, when this particular belief
again had admirers, for the opposi-
ton cleric demolished the Baptist as
follows: His tex was: My sheep
hears my voice and I know them,
and dey follows me-. Den he said:
In de Bible de Christians is de
sheep. He had heap of Bible in
dat pint, and he preached a mighty
long time, and make dat so strong
no niger can't spile it. Now, my
bruddren and sisters, you al knows
you can't get q sheep into de water
nohow, les you cotch him and carry
him in." Then Methedy had its
great and final triumph.

The " HarmOniZers."
Nashville American.

All this clamor about harmony is
mere nonsense. There is an easy
way to a decent party struggle in
Tennessee between the Republicans
and Democrats, and to q cessation OF
agitation and devotion to the real
interests of the State, which have
been clamoring for ten years for at
tention. A settlement of the debt
question IN accordance with decency
and right by the present Legislature
will secure al these results. It is q
non-partisan question about which
the best men of all parties must join
hands as to an interest common to
all. No settlement in accord with
decency and right can pass. When
such one passed there will be
harmony and peace disturbed only
by those agitators who will never
cease their clamOr. The extremist
will still be abroad with bis agrarian
clamor, and the compromiser will
still be heard to some extent in the
task of putting irreconcllables to
bed together. We shall still have a
conflict Of factions, but it will be
shUrn Of its worst feature.

Sensible Contractors.
n. Y. Herald.

The evil effects of repudiatios in
Tennessee are coming home to some
of her people in a manner peculiarly
embarrassing. In the city of Knox
vile water-works are being con-
structed on bonds issued by the
municipality. Alarmed by the re-
cent decision of the Supreme Court,
the contractors refuse to 60 on with
the contract, fearing that they might
be robbed at any moment of their
property by an act OF the Legislature
or the Judgment Of court. A com
munity which does not respect its
financial obligations must expect to
be treated precisely the same as
rogues in private life. No one not a
fool will trust either or have any
transactions with them.

A CONSPICUOUS increase of suicides

A CONSPICUOUS increase of suicides
among the officers of the Austrian army
has led to an investigation, and it IS
found that pecuniary embarrassment is
the cause in 80 per cent. of the cases.
The cost of living has greatly increased
in Austria, as it has everywhere else il
Europe, within few years, and at tho
same time the manner of life among tho
army officers has become more extra,a-
CANT. To offset these larger demands
upon their incomes there has been no
proportionate increase in their pay,
which was always notoriously small.
