The Blind Man.

That q man may be blind in more
ways than one is conceded by almost
everybody. The man who is physical
ly blind, whose eyes have been de-
stroyed by disease or the sight re-
moved by some accident, is to be
pitied and he should have the sympa-
thy and share the charity of every
good citizen. But the man who is
blind intellectually or spiritually, who
at this day and age doesnot post him.

fireside. and make himself fully ac-
quainted with everything that is going
on in the world, and thus become
good Judge of the principles and char

1t strikes us that there is no reason for
criticising the Pendleton bill on the
ground that it provides for perpetuity in
Office. A careful inspection of the meas
ure shows no such provision. Under the
Constitution the President has right to
make removals as often as he sees fit,
and any attempt to deny or limit this
right by statute would fail to Stand the
constitutional test Life tenure of office
would mean retired civil list, and that
is thing which the people of this coun-
try will never tolerate. e.-Columbus Times.

Keep your celluloid rings and jewelry
away from fire. The material has gun
cotton in it and is highly infiammable.
A woman in neighboring city while
building fire recently touched her ring
to the fire and the finger was so badly
burned, it had to be amputated. A girl
in one of the Troy collar factories took off
her celluloid ring the other day and laid
it on table near fire. The ring famed

AN ENTIRE FAMILY GONE.

When j. F. Brown, of Toronto, Can,
heard of the Milwaukee calamity, know
ing that his brother with his wife and
four children occupied an upper room in
the Newhall House, he waited with the
keenest anxiety for some tiding from
them; none game; kilograms of inquiry
brought no comforting response. At
last, as he was about to take the train for
Milwaukee. a message came, bearing the
Overwhelming tidings that the entire
family had perished. He hastened on to
help explore the ruins, where he is still
engaged in endeavoriDg to recover the
charred remains for decent interment.
From all that has been discovered it
seems that his brother was trying to
rouse and rescue his suffocating family
when, finding it impossible, he sunk
among them in the effort, and they all
perished in a group.

MARVELLOUS ESCAPE.

One of the guests, driven into corner
of the hotel, and within reach of metal
conductor, couched for time on win
dow-sill, looking in vain for some reason
able chance of escape. Here he saw two
other poor fellows attempting to reach
the ground in safety by means of the
conductor, glazed and barbed as it was
with cutting icicles. They were unable
to retain their hold, and one after the
other fell and was dashed to pieces on
the icy pavement. Our hero hesitated as
long as he could. 1t was forlorn hope,
and when he could do no better he
crawled to the conductor; clung to it
with the grasp of despair: and although
he shot down 1t almost with the rapidity
of an arrow, while all the flesh was torn
from his hands and his naked limbs were
terribly lacerated, he still lives and prob
ably will recover.
DEATH AMONG THE TELEGRAPH WIRES.
Whether the telegraph wires that
formed network along the street in
front of the hotel saved more than they
killed, is at present a matter of dispute.
It is claimed that in some instances they
served to break the fall of those who
jumped among them; but it is certain
that in many other cases, especially in
those of persons jumping from the upper
stories, they cut and mangled their vic
tins in manner sickening to behold or
think Of. In several instances bodies
were cut nearly Id two, in others limbs
were torn off by the remorseless steel;
in others the bodies hung across the wires
for several seconds, limp and deas then
fell to the ground, mere masses of man
gled. bleeding flesh, beyond the services
of any one but the undertaken.
