A Holocaust at Halifax. N. 8.

About II O'Clock last Monday night,
while all hands were sleeping, u fire
broke out in the bake house in the base
lnent of the immense poor asylum build
ing at Halifax, n. 8. Exactly how it
originated Is not very clear, but the
smoke of smonldering wood spread
through the building and caused tho ut
most terror among the 400 o.. 500 inmates
of the institution. The draft swept the
flames upward with tremendous force,
and in few seconds the heaviest part
Of the conflagration was in the top of the
main building. The story just nnder the
caves in this building was used as
u hospital, and in it were about forty
patients, most Of theua perfectly helpless.
The fire burst through the roof and the
scene was one never to he forgotten. Far
above tho roar of the flames and the
crack Of the bursting slates were heard
the cries of the wretched patients in the
hospital who were roasting TO death.
Most of them could not leave their bed
and were perhaps stifled BY smoke be-
fore the. cruel flames reached them;
but others were seen to dash themselves
against the windows and cling
to the sashes till their strength was ex-
hausted or their hands burned of and
they fell back into the seething caldron
of flames. A woman was seen to drag
herself to corner window and forcing
her body half out till she could breathe
cool air, remained in that position till
her head burned of: It 10 known there
were over seventy patients in the hoepit-
al. So far as ascertained thirty.one per.
sons were burned TO death in the fire.
eight men and twenty.three women.
The main building cost $83, 900, and
was insured for $50, 600. Some fragments
Of charred bodies have been recovered,
but no extensive search has been or can
with safety be made among the ruins in
their present dangerous condition.

Great Roman Catholic Synotl.


The Roman Catholic ecclesiastical
synod was brought to close in St. Pat
rick's cathedral, on Fifth avenue, n. Y.
Thursday. Cardinal McClosky addressed
the synod in words of congratulation on
the rapid growth Of the archdiocese
and the high position it occupies in the
advancement of the Catholic church in
this country. In feeling words he an
nounced that his years were fast drawing
to close, and that the present was in
all probability the last synod where his
voice would be heard. The venerable
prelate himself was overcome when he
madethis announcement. He expressed.
in conclusion, fervent hope that the
present. and future generations Of the
priesthood would maintain the dignity

A Mosaic Portrait of Garfield.

DR.. Salviati, who gave to this country
the fine mosaic portrait of Lincoln now
in the library of congress, and who is
now completing q companion portrait
of Garfield, which he will also give to
America. was formerly q leading lawyer
of Vicenza in Veneta. Seeing the
magnificent mosaics in. st. Marks
church, Venice, going to destruction
because no one understood how to re-
store and preserve them, he abandoned
his profession and began studying the
lost art of the Byzantines. BY his skill
the mosaics of st. Marks were restored,
and he has executed many other inn
portant works in Westminster abbey
and st. Paurs. London; in the cathedral
of Aix-la-Chapelle, where three thou
sand square feet of surface were cover
ed in two years and a half; and at
Bangkok, where the outside of a cupola
of the kings palace, seventeen thousand
square feet in area, was covered with
some 100000 bits of gold enamel.
The portrait of Garfield is now almost
finished in DR.. Salviati's studio in Ven
ice, and is described as marvelously
perfect piece of work.

Where Cattle Come From.

When we read of $4,000 head of cat
tie being driven every year from Texas
to the Northern markets, and when we
are assured that in 1870 as many rs
100000 were driven on foot to Colorado,
Wyoming and Kansas, besides thou
sands shipped by steamer to New Or
leans and elsewhere, we are surprised to
learn that this immense drain on the
herds of Texas does not perceptibly de-
crease the number of cattle in the State.
When we visit the great ranches of
Western Texas we are no longer sur
prised, but rather wonder that the
United States hold people enough to
eat and use all the cattle we see. 1t
has been found, from careful examina-
ton of the Census Bureau reports, that
to every 100 persons in the United
States there is required eighty head of
cattle, and that this requirement has
not varied per cent in thirty years.
Taking this as basis of calculation, we
find that the Northern and Eastern
States have less than the requisite num-
Der, and it is to these States that the
East looks for her beef supply.-Fron,

A Dogs Understanding.

A celebrated picture shows little
boy crawling on the floor and inquiring
OF pet dog, Cant you talkp" The
dog looks as il he is not sure about it,
and seems to say, perhaps / can; I'll
try" There is no doubt that dogs I'M
derstand manv words, and we give the
following anecdote from Hartford, CT,
in which Il dog named Major showed
unusual sagacity:
Majors hatred of eat appears to be
deep-seated, and he viii kill all that
come in his way. His masters wife
had a cat which she determined Major
should not harm, and she took great
pains to impress the big brute with this
idea.
The dog seemed to understand every
word she said. but would keep his eyes
fastened upon puss with a longing and
hungry look, as if it were great self
denial for him TO obey.
But his mistress conquered and made
him understand that he must live on
friendly terms with puss. More than
once he had been seen watching the cat
with look of evil intent, but, out of
respect to his mistress, he conquered his
nature, and would throw himself upon
the ground with sigh expressive of
deep disgust at the situation.
One morning, the lady told her hus-
band that the cat had become so trouble
some that she guessed it would have to
be killed. A few minutes later, rush
and struggling noise was heard, and
as the lady of the house FASTENED to the
door to see what had happened, Major
walked up to his mistress and laid at
her feet the dead body of puss. then
looked up with an air of triumph, and
wagged his tail with intense satisfac-
ton. He had heard his mistress ex-
press the wish that puss might be killed,
and this was so in consonance with his
own feelings that he went right out and
finished the cat.
