A Singular Accident.


 singular accident took place lest Sunday in the building of the Prefecture de Police, where so violent an explosion occurred that for some time it was rumored in Paris that the Prefecture had been blown up. The crowd immediately hastened towards the Boulevard du Palais de Justice, where the Prefecture de Police is situated, but the neiphborhood was rendered inaccessible by 8 strong cordon of policemen. It was some time before anyone knew what had really happened, but at last the following facts were ascertained In the morning, at about 10 o'clock, 8 strong odor of gas was noticed in the courtyard of the Prefecture de Police. NJ. Camescasse, the prefect, was warned of this, and went down into the cellars, accom- panied by M. Viel-Durand, his general score tary, and here the smell of gas was found to be intolerable. The prefect at once gave orders to have the case looked into, and two workmen were sent into the cellars. They had hardly reached the spot before tremen- dous detonation was heard, and the vault above fell into fragments, burying several persons under the ruins. The courtyard was immediately filled with clouds of smoke, and pieces of stone were thrown so high into the air as to fall upon the roofs. The glass panes in the neiRhboring windows were shattered, and the curtains torn to shreds; heavy pav- ing stones penetrated into rooms on the third floor of the building. AS was natural enough
 
 house was seized with 8 complete panic Screams were heard from every side, and in the concierge's apartment, which, strange to say, was left quite unipjured by the explosion, 8 young woman fell into fainting fit and was brought to her senses only with the greatest difficulty. Within very short time after the explosion squad of fremen and policemen appeared on the spot and entered upon the work of rescuing the victims, who were at first supposed to be much more num- erous than was really the case. The first person removed from the ruins was police man, almost HfeIess, and who, after being removed to the Hotel-Dieu hospital, died 8 few hours after. Then two wntkmen were discovered, seriously injured. Shortly after child was found in the cellar, a little girl named Braqui, the daughter of former pilot of the town of Brest, whom the prefect, M. Camescasss, had called up to Paris few weeks ago. The unfortunate little creature was playing in the courty ard close to the concierge's loge when the ground gave way beneath her feet and she WAS suddenly en- gulfed No wounds or contusions were found upon her person, but she complains of acute internal sufferings. The cause of this fright fuI explosion of gas can only be attributed to the neglect of the workmen, who were them selves among the victims

oBERLIN,s LATEST STARVATION.

Oberlin, Ohio, is Q good town. We be-
 lisve they do not even play billiards there.
 and it is doubtful if the people are allowed to excite and denoralize themselves with checkers. But they have had an interesting affair to talk about lately in the shape of a libel suit, brought by 8 druggist against Rev. James Brand, pastor of the First Congrega. tional church. Oberlin of course allows no. body to sell intoxicating drinks within its borders, but Druggist Bronson was suspect. cd of selling them slyly. Efforts were made to induce him to p3ses himself above sns- pieion in this respect, but none of them was successful. Rev. MT. Brand then took hold of the matter in earnest and delivered a powerful sermon aimed directly at the drug gist. The sermon closed with a quotation from Mir. Beecher in which the soul of the rumseIler was pictured as being borne toward hell to meet the wretched souls of his victims. The druggist could stand the ser- mon, but when the clergyman, by request, had the strongest passages published in the local paper he made up his mind te get what satisfaction he could out of libel suit.
 Tho trial was very interesting enc. The evidence showed that @ warfare of many weeks' duration had been waged with the druggist. First Crusaders" waited upon the druggist. Next ''watchers" were ap- dointed to sit in the store and make note of all persons who entered and their errands. One of the "vatchsrs'' testified that man entered one day and asked for some "Oh, be Joyful" Instead of being either perplexed or surprised the drug gist served him without question. Af- ter 6 time the druggist became tired of the ''watchsrs," and began to commit what the preacher called a series of '9ndignities." On one occasion he suddenly removed chair upon which venerable Christian lady, who had been detailed for duty, was about to sit. When she remonstrated he told her that if she felt tired she might sit on the soda foun- tain. A committee of citizens. headed by a professor waited upon the druggist. and the professor began to read an address. He started: 1T protest in the name of the students of the college; protest in the name of the fathers and mothers of the students; and, finally, protest in the name of the Almighty" when the druggist poured quantity of red pepper upon the hot stove, forcing the whole dele gation into the street to escape sufocation' The rest of the address was not read.
 The judge who presided over the trial of this strange case kept his head clear, and when the evidence was all in charged the jury that a minister in his pulpit was in no way privileged to attack personal character, and the fact that he was moral teacher and be- ieved what he said, and honestly sought the public good, could be considered only in nit igation of damages. In the face of this charge the jury disagreed. Nine voted to give g verdict for the druggist, with damages of from $1, 500 to $2,oOO, but the other three were for the minister, and the jury was discharged.

silence ss of the grave is over the world. The giant sentinel slms stand as spectres against cold sparkling sky. Hours pass. A low ominous sound is heard coming out from the cold north This sound gradually increases, swelling to prolonged wall and there is moaning everywhere-moaning along the mountain gorges, moaning through the lowIRnd vallies, moaning among the woods, moaning in the open country and moaning around the solitary human habitations, by the windows and up in the chimney in the room where children are sleeping. It is the great spirit of the north wind, the ally of the king of cold, who is again resuming his sway. It seems as 8 requiem for the depart ed, for the beauty so dazzling bright 80 brightly pure, so chaste and, alas, so tram sient.
