Nine BLOCKS Burned over Before the
Fire was SubdUed.
TORONTO, Aug. 3.-At 2:45 O'Clock this
morning the work of destruction by fire
on the esplanade was still going on, the
flames having reached the foot of Yonge
street, all the intervening buildings and
wharves having been burned to the
ground. The Great Western freight sheds,
formerly passenger station on the north
side of the esplanade, were in imminent
danger, and we're expected TO be IN flames
every moment. The steamer Chicora got
up steam and went out into the lake. The
steamer Ontario got up steam and began
to tow out the steamer Mazeppa,
but schooner blocked the
way, and they could not get
her out, and the Mazeppa caught fire.
Showers OF sparks were carried to the
opposite side Of the street. The fire
brigade was absolutely pOwerless. Will
lam McCallum, seaman on the schooner
Annie Mulyey, was dangerously burned
about the head. Several elevators, coal
yards, schooners, terr ybOats, warehouses,
and many lighthouses are among the
property burned. AT $3.50 O'Clock hur-
ricane sprung up from the southeast,
which threatened TO bring the fire across
10 the main part Of the city. At 4:3O
O'Clock this morning the fire was under
control.
Further progress of the fire on the
esplanade was checked shortly after 8
O'Clock this morning. From Scott street

DIRECT TAX OFFSETS.
Justice Merriok Takes NIIsSissippPs Case
Under Consideration.


Under Consideration.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-An amicable
proceeding in mandamus, to determine
the question OF the Indebtedness Of the
State of Mississippi to the United States
under the direct tax of 1861, took place
to-day before Justice Merrick, sitting in
chambers. Martin +. Morris, as solicitor
and in behalf of the State of Mississippi,
applied for a mandamus on Hon. Milton
j. Durham, First Comptroller of the Treas
ury, to compel the payment to the State
Of S., ,30S for the sale OF public
lands within the State and which the
Commissioner of Public Lands has re-
ported as due the state.
TEE OFFSET.
The Auditors Office comedies the claim
to be due, but proposes to offset it with the
alleged Indebtedness Of $4l3.0S4 of the
State to the United States under the act
OF 1861, which has not been paid. Comp
troller Durham was present. He admit
ted that all the statements in the petition
were true except the respond
ents refusal to draw war
rant for the amount claimed, and said
that upon examining the records of his
Office he finds that the sum OF S4l3,0S4 is
due from the State to the United States
as direct tax imposed under the act of
Congress Of Aug. 3, 1861. He was willing
to submit TO the court the question of how
far he is TO be governed by the statement
of his predecessors in the matter, reserV-
ing TO himself all rights he may have
under the law for other and further adju-
dicatIOns. Justice Merrck took the
papers and reserved his decision.

Shall We sleep with Open Win
dOWS?

This question introduces a subject
upon which there is diversity of opin-
ion, both among medical Proctionero
and individuals. 81 have had no bad
colds since learned to sleep with my
windows open," remarked gentleman
in the office of the 1ZeditaI and Sn,gz-
cal Reporter, the other day. In reply,
the editor says that the only 'hard
colds" he ever suffered from were con-
tracted by sleeping in rooms to which
the night air had free access.
The editor adds that it is well known
that bodily temperature sinks slightly
during sleep; the physiological func-
tions act with diminished activity;
and hence the resistance of the econo-
my to morbiic influences is proportion
ately lessened.
But it is also we'll known that at
night these influences are more potent
and noxious. The air is charged with
greater humidity; miasmatic and mala-
rial poisons rise to higher levels, and
extend with greater rapidity; the chill
of the damp night air is penetrating
and dangerous the emanations from
organic decay are more perceptible.
Against these the sleeper is less pro-
tected than in the daytime. He has
divested himself of his wooden external
clothing to put on cotton or linen, and
lies between sheets of the same mater
ial, between which, at the tops and
sides of the bed, the air gains ready
access to his unprotected surface. If
he is restless, he renders such access
yet more easy.
A greater risk awaits him. A sudden
fall in temperature at night is no unus-
ual occurrence. In summer thunder
gust, in winter shift of the wind to
the north, often reduces the tempera-
ture ten to twenty degrees The sleep
er is unaware of this. He remains ex-
posed to it with no futher protection
than he found agreeable at the higher
temperature until he awakes chilled and
stiff, perhaps with the seeds of serious
illness already sown.
These are such positive and unavoid-
able risks that # we We should counsel deli
how he ventured on the plan of open
windows at night, however much has
been said in its favor by popular hygi-
enists.

Maria Ward and John Randolph.

E. L. Didier, in Harper's Magazine for April.
One of the saddest and most roman
tic love affairs in the social annals of
Virginia was that of Maria Ward and
John Randolph of Roanoke. Begin
ming in his early boyhood, it became
the one enthralling passion of his man
hood, filling his whole being, until, as
he himself said, che loved her better
than his own soul or Him that created
it, There is a picture OF John Ran
dolph in the rooms of the Virginia
Historical Society, taken at the time
when he was the accepted lover of
Maria Ward. 1t represents singular
ly handsome youth, his eyes dark and
full of intellect, his mouth beautifully
formed, and over his proud and lofty
forehead fell profusion of dark hair.
The breaking off of the affair is wrap
ped in mystery; all we know is that
one summer morning he rode up to the
house, and after a long interview in
the parlor, the lady left the room in
tears, while he rushed from the house
mounted his horse and rode furiously
away. He never saw her again; but
one day he approached house where
she was staying while she was singing
in the parlor. Fascinated by the sound
of her voice he fingered on the porch,
and sent in for her to sing one after
another the tender little ballads which
were associated with their loves. Maria
Ward sang, unconscious of her lovers
presence, while he rushed frantically up
and down the porch in agony of grief,
waving his arms and crying in the an
guish of his heart: 'sMacbeth hath
murdered sleep; Macbeth shall sleep
no more u
Maria Ward married Peyton Ran
dolph, son of Edmond Randolph, who
was Governor of Virginia, the first
Attorney General of the United States,
and Secretary of State under Washing
ton. This lady was distinguished for
the exquisite grace and fascination of
her manners and her bright wit. Her
portrait, copy of which has been Sc
cured for this article through the cour-
tesy of her granddaughter, Mrs. ]. l..
Williams, of Richmond, represents a
lovely girl of sixteen, with wondrous
blue eyes, exquisitely delicate complex
ion, profusion of sunny brown curls,
and in the quaint costume of the last
century.
Maria Ward died in 1896, aged forty
two years. All contemporary accounts
unite in describing her as possessing a
singular fascination of manners, a
charming sweetness and amiability of
disposition, an enchanting gaiety and
esprit, aud a pecu1Iar, irresistible per-
sonal loveliness. At the time of her
death she was still as fresh as the sum-
mer rose, as captivating in mind and
manners as when she enthralled the
passionate heart of John Randolph oi
Roanoke.

Six Items Worth Noting.

Ventilate your sleeping apartment
every day after arising; but warm it to
comfort before sleeping in it again.
Remember two very important OBJ
jects in ventilation: To warm the air
and at the same time to keep it moist.
An orifce in the sole or side of your
shoe in windy or cold or damp weather
will give you a severe cold or sore
throat.
When you are drowsy from reading
or work, sleep until you are rested.
Nature, by feelings of fatigue, calls for
rest.
Thin-clad ankles and limbs in fall
and winter will generally cause severe
acute diseases of the lungs and throat
in children.
Many a man takes pneumonia, OF
rheumatism, or pleurisy, from sitting a
few moments on a wet or damp cushion
of passenger car.

They lie on my table, red, purple and green;
In fact, all the colors that ever were seen.
Some bright as daisy, some crumpled and soil
ed,
Like my desolute heart, of their freshness de-
spoiled
find them in cupboards, in corners and hooks,
find them in drawers in boxes and books.
The wrecks of past fashion, they CLEAN on my
sight,
Each one a reminder of hours sad or bright.
All well remember, poor ribbon of blue,
How my heart beat with hope as proudly dom
ned you.
How two lovely eyes on your bright wings we're
cast,
Twas a glance of delight, but tits and past.
And, royal tie of purple and snowy tie of red,
Beneath you has nestled fair, sunny head,
Whose tresses of gold once the charm Of my life,
Now shine on the head of another mans wife.
And your folds of satin, oh, dainty tie white,
Were woven expressly for my wedding night.
And you, like the others, have been laid aside,
And still am waiting but where is my bride
I'll gather you all in gay, colored heap,
And into the fire you shall go with sweep
Is'.e nv Feaas.I am sng yon will never come
DacK,
And henceforth my neckties shall only be black.

Secret Thoughts.

hold it true that Thoughts are Things
Endowed with being, breath and wings,
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results or i'll.
That which we call our "secret thoughts"
Speeds to the earth's remotest spot,
And leaves its blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind it, as it goes.
1t is Gods law. Remember it
In your still chamber as you sit
With thoughts you would not dare have known,
And yet make comrades, when alone.
These thoughts have life, and they will fly
And leave their impress, by-and-by,
Like some marsh breeze, whose poisonsd breath
Breathes into homes its fevered death.
And, after you have quite forgot
Or all outgrown some vanished thought
Back to your mind to make its home,
A dove or raven, it will come.
Then let your secret thoughts be fair;
They have a vital part and share
In shaping worlds and moulding fate
Gods system is so intricate!
