Milwaukee, 15.-One Of the
most appalling calamities of re-
cert years has smitten Mllwau
kee, and the city by the lake
is burdened By a horror which
the sympathy of u nation would
gladly help it bear, but which
no human power can remove or
palIiate. The loss of It's old
landmark. the New hall house,
would have been in itself a great
calamity. but this sinks into in.
significance beside the news that
IN its destruction a hundred
human lives have been crisped
out of existence, To die quietly,
surrounded by friends, and with
the terrors OF death mitigated
by their attentions is an awful
thing; but to meet the grim
monarch of us all amid such
appalling havoc as rioted about
the victims Of this disaster sur
passes the powers Of finite CON-
prehension.

Dick Turpln No Hero.

Everybody has read about Dick Tur-
pin, who was executed, not as has been
supposed for gallant robberics, bu. for
tho lower crime Of horse stealing. In
stead Of being an elegant fellow, with an
impulsive heart, Turpin was low
wretch, petty, selfish, common and
brutal. The late Mr.. Ainsworth made
him o prominent character OF "R ,ok-
wood" In reality he WAS q farmers
son in the County Of Essex. east of
London, sent to a common school. and
apprenticed 10 butcher in Whitechapel,
the worst end Of London city, and there
he became noted for his brutal disposi.
pie, and cudgeIihg his morse. wIrru
his apprenticeship expired, he married
young woman and returned to Essex
county, at Eastman, and started the
butchering business and it occurred to
him that he had better steal cattle than
buy them, and SO he deliberately sold
in his shop tho cattle OF his neighbors
and when two oxen were traced to him
aud q warrant obtained he jumped out
OF the back windows of his house rs the
officers entered the front door, and this
made him an outlaw, his wife furnishing
him with money to Join o gang OF
smugglers on the coast.
This gang was broken up by the Gus.
tom House officers very soon and then
Turpin went to deer-stealing in Epping
Forest, which lies to the northeast OF
London, and in il wore several fino
parks Of gentlemen containing deer.
This business was not remunerative,
nd the band resolved to be housebreak-
-; and, while one Of them knocked at
she door, the others woald r,lsh in a.
soon as it was opened, and make away
with whstever they could lay their hands
on.
In the course OF these adventures they
heard OF an old woman in village who
kept about ES00 in her house, and when
she came to the door they forced their
way in, tied her and her maid, and
Turlin told the old woman that he
would set her on fire IL she did not
reveal where the money was.
She, refusing, was actually placed on
the fire and kept there till her torment.
ing pains made her point out where she
h.i concealed her gold, and they stole
c4)0 and ran away. This entirely ds-
poses Of the romsntic origin of Dick
Eurpin. London letter.
