Tho nerditscben Circus Fire.

The loss of life by the burning OF the circus
In Berditscheff, on Saturday last, was not 80
great as at first reported but 1t is believed that
over $50 persons perished In the flames. The
fire broke out toward the end OF the perform
ance, and was caused by the careless handling
of fireworks on the stage. The curtain became
ignited and the flames quickly spread to the
walls and roof. The members of the orchestra
were the first victims. The audience, num-
bering 500 persons, rushed to the front door,
but 1t opened inward, and as the crowd
pressed forward 1t was rendered useless. A
rush was then made to the two side doors,
both OF which were nailed up, thus compelling
the people to take to the windows, from which
many sprapg into the street with their clothes
q sheet of flame. The fire brigade arrived
within half IN hour, but 1t was impossible to
extinguish the flames, as the water in the
tanks was. frozen. The flre lasted two hours
Eye-wltnesses state that when the doors wero
finally opened q mass OF burning people were
visible within. The horses and properties OF
the circus were all destroyed.

Mr. Brewster Goes Too Far.

A meeting of the United States supervisors
employed In Massachusetts at the last Federal
election was held yesterday to act on the order
Of fAttorney-General Brewster refusing to allow
pay for more than Ave days work. Mr.. J..
looked into the matter and found that the
statutes authorized payment for work up to
and not exceeding ten days, and that war
rant for their pay having been Issued by the
United States Circuit Court, the Attorney
General had no authority In the matter. He
had done some correspondence concerning the
trouble, but had as yet received no satisfac-
tory replies. II was voted to appoint COM

Musings,

Far away, beyond the shadows
Stray my wandering thoughts tonight,
Like ghostly vision, chasing
Other days so dear and bright.
Days Of childhood, happy, fleetlng,
Flying fast to girlhood hours,
Pleasing as poets fancy
Dreaming now OF maiden's powers
out from maidenhood q woman,
NOblest, purest, best of all,
AS from twilight into sunlight,
Fleeing fast, the shadows call.
See the woman, as mother,
Watch the lOye-light in her face
As she watches DER her darlings
With such soothing, winning grace.
30, no further can we follow,
Like a mist the curtains fall,
And beyond this lifs's bright vista
We must wait higher call.

Texas by the elite, they take n great deal OF
interest In the rumpus that has recently oc-
CURED between the two ladies'. Down here In
Texas we do not really know much more

gone lob Brooklyn, although previously they
were as familiar as IL was possible for them

the streets OF Austin yesterday that he came
with twoseated sleigh TO take Mrs. Laundry
out for an airing, and Mrs. Laborcherry wanted
to go along TO see that the proprietles were

none of them contemplated his sitting In Mrs.
Laborcherry's lap, or vice versa, that lady be-
gan to suspect that there was some truth in
the old adage that two is company and three Is
mob. she refused to assist in making up tho
party, so Freddy and Lille had the sleigh all
TO themselves.
The opinion Of the higher circle OF Austin Is
that Freddy should have squeezed In be-
tween them, or olse brought another two
seated sleigh and fellow to keep Mrs. La
borcherry from falling out, and then perhaps
Mrs. Laundry and Mrs, Laborcherry would
not both have fallen out on account of the
sleigh being too narrow. That Is, however, n
very narrow view TO take Of the subject

AN "1NTERNATioNAL BABY"
General Ord's Grandson Christened with
Considerable Pomp by Bishop-Mc1i-

MONTEREY, MEX, Mar. 12.--Tho "Intcr-
national Baby" the son of Gen. Trevino and
his wife, tho daughter of Gen. Ord, was
christoned this evening by Mgr. Montez
de oca, bishop of Nuero Leon, receiving his
fathers name, Geronimo. Gen. Trovino pre-
ferrcd to have the christening conducted as
quietly as possible, and, therefore, the core
mony was performed not in the cathedral as
the bishop desired but in the oratOry in the
bishops palace, in the presence of only lew
civilians, military dignitaries, and immodt.
ate relatives and friends of the Trevino and
Ord families. Gen. Diaz, cX-presidcnt of
Mexico, and his wife were godfather
and godmothor. There were also pres.
ont Senior Rubio, u prominent member OF
the church party and the iathor-in-aw
of Gen. Diaz DR.. Liceaga, and Senoras Rubio
and Iiceaga. This honor shown Gen. Ire
vino is believed to have very important
political bearing. IL Is understood that Gen.
Trcvino has consented not to oppose the can
ddacy of Gen. Diaz for the presidency in
| 1884, with the condition that Gen. Diaz will
| turn over the presidency to Gen. Trevino
when his term expires in 1852. with such
support as his had in Naranjo, Pacheco, Ru-
| bio, and others of scarcely less strength who
are attached TO the interests of Diaz and
| Trcvino, this slate is morally certain to go
| through. Tho result promises well for Mex
! leo, for Daz was an excellent president. lie
| restored order 10 the country, and handed his
| office over to his successor without revolu-
| tiOn. Gonzales has maintained the same
good government, and has adopted the
| liberal policy in regard to the deycl-
! opmcnt of tho countrys resource which has
led to such extraordinary results in the past
three or four years. BY assuring the success
sion TO Diaz aud Treveno, both of whom hold
liberal views and arc especially well disposed
toward Americans, the complete development
of Mexico is well assured. Long before they
are out of office the two lines Of American
railwayl running north and south, and prob
ably east and west lines also will be COM
plcted, and after this much has been accom-
plishcd the tide of prosperity in Mexico can
not be stayed. Some little comment was oc-
casioned by the unavoidable absence from the
christening of Gen. Pacheco. In the evening
u ball was given by the citizens to Gen. Diaz
which was one of the most brilliant affairs OF
its kind in the social history of Monterey.
