information that mild form OF scarlet

some places assuming the proportions OF
an epidemic.
Sparrows are eaten in England and Ger
many. Neither the Irish nor the Scotch
will modest the pert little birds, and both in
Ireland and Scotland they know no fear,
because they never knew any danger there.
To harm n sparrow in either country would
be considered an outrage.
The wearing of rattlesnake skins as Cir
dies is a new fashion set by the wife OF Il

perlv cured. retaining the head and its
fourteen rattles, and now values her girdle
at $3.50.

Panic Among Prisoners.
AN APPALLING SCENE IN THE ST. LOUIS J
DURING THE PROGRESS or A PIRE.

AN APPALLING SCENE IN THE ST. LOUIS JAIL.
DURING THE PROGRESS or PIRE.
A st. Louis telegram says: George
Brcckcnridge'S Phoenix planing-miIl, n
large four-story brick building on the cor
ner OF Spruce and Twelfth streets, took fire
at $50 i. NJ. and in an hour ITS contents,
valued at $50, 900. on which there is an in
suaTance of $50, 200, were totally destroyed.
Across Spruce street stands the southern
wall Of the city Jail, where during the pro-
gress OF the tire panic OF extraordinary
nature took place among the prison
erS, nearly two hundred in num-
Der. The roof Of the Jail consists
mainly OF a monster skylight, through
whose pancs the earliest light OF
the fire showed plainly. Suddenly a shower
OF sparks fell upon the skylight, and the
roof OF the burning building falling in at
tins time the stream OF light filled the
whole Jail, and almost seemed to justify
the cry which went up from the female
prisoners that the Jail was on fire, and
that they would be burned alive unless
released. The iailer did his best TO quiet
their fears, but part OF the iail-ience
catching fire at this iuncture, the en-
gines played upon it and the we'll
understood sound was accepted by the
prisoners as proof that they were
indeed locked up in n burning building.
Then euSued panic which battles descrip-
ton. The women completely lost their
self-control, rushing wildly about in their
cells and begging pitcouSly to be taken toa
place OF safety. Some OF them. falling
upon their knees and stretching their arms
through the bar spaces, clasped hands and
PRAYED the iailer TO open the cell doors
The men were hardly less panic-stricken,
and the cry which the whole body of pri-
soners set up and maintained for several
minutes was appalling. At one moment
it seemed to the iailer as il the jail was ac-
tually threatened, and he and his deputies
began TO take necessary precautions for a
removal of his prisoners without the loss
OF any Of them. and when this was seen
the clamor. which had subsidized for few
moments. broke ont again with more yigor
than ever. All efforts to bring the thor
oughy-terriied prisoners into subsection
were unavaling, and it was only when
they were physically unable to sustain vo-
cal eXertion that they desisted. The eX-
traOrdinary scene was almost an identical
repetition OF the one which took place
when the same mill was burned down
wear AGO.

Merchant, Postmaster, Nelo Orleans !:
Sr,-Since you were instructed TO deliver
no registered letters reaching your Office
addressed to NJ. A. Dauphin, and TO redeem
no money.orders payable to him, he has
directed advertisements to be inserted in
certain newspapers that all registered let
tcrs intended for him ard concerning the
Louisiana State Lottery Company be adj
dressed TO the New Orleans National Bank,
at New Orleans, and that all money-orders
sent to your Office for his benefit and con-
cerIing the business OF said lottery COM
pany be made payable 20 said bank. l am
in possession OF trustworthy information
that this bank has been and still is receiving
through your Office registered letters and
money-Orders for the benefit Of NJ. a. Dau-
phin in pursuance OF his published
directions. This is a defiant scheme on
the part OF VI. 4. Dauphin and the New
Orleans National Bank to evade orders
which have been addressed to you by the
Postmaster-General in pursuance OF the
statutes OF the United States intended 10
protect the mails and the public against a
business which is vicious and immoral,
and which in the main preys upon the ig-
norant and credulous. This bank cannot
be permitted to stand in the shoes of NJ. a.
Dauphin. and thus enable him TO accom-
plish by indirectiOn what he is not al'owed
to do directly. Hereafter. therefore, you
will deliver TO the New Orleans National
Bank no registered letters, and redeem no
money-orderS payable to it; but deal with
the same a. directed by order Of the De-
partment Of November IS. 1879. This order
will be revoked whenever the bank gives
satisfactory evidence that it has abandoned
the above scheme. Very respectfully,
