Persisted BY FIRE.
Three Girls Burned to Death.

A disastrous fire occurred at 47 TO 351 Broad
way in Cleveland, Ohio, early on the morning
of July l. Two families occupied the ground
floor apartments Mr.. Cohen with his wife and
four children occupied the front rooms. Cohen
jumped from the burning building and his wife
dropped the children on bedding she had
thrown out. Mrs. Cohen was slightly burned.
Mrs. Rosenberg, with her three girls, and Miss
Rose Meisel occupied the rear part upstairs.
Mrs. Rosenberg escaped with her 14-year-old
daughter, while two younger children, Fannie
and Becky, aged . add IL, and Miss Meisel
persisted In the flames The bodies were recov-
cred and taken to the morgue Mr. Trau, a
travelling man, who boarded with Mrs. Rosen-
berg, jumped from his window and had his arm
broken and his face badly cut. He and Miss
Meisel were to have been married the next Sun
day. Mr.. Trau was almost insane when he
learned the fate of his intended bride. The
opinion of citizens and the fire department is
that the fire was incendiary. This belief Is all
the more plausible from the fact that the stair
ways were nearly consumed when the fire was
discovered. The loss on buildings Is nearly
$780, mostly covered by insurance.

[" She Stoops To Conquer"
TExchange.t

Mir. Lewis Grummit, formerly an emi- nent grazier in Lincolnshire, died in that county at a very advanced age. It was from hospital joke Of this worthy man, that Dr. Goldsmith took the hint of Marlow's mistaking the house of MT. Hardcastle for an inn, in the comedy of "She StooPs to Conquer" The circum- stance was as follows:
 MT. Grummit, late one night, met a commercial traveller, who had mistaken the road, and inquired the way to the nearest inn or public house. Mr. G. re- piled, that, as he was stranger, he would show him the way to a quiet, respectable house of public entertainment for man and horse, and took him to his own resi- dence. The traveller, by the perfect ease and confidence of his manner, showed the success of his hosts stratagem, and everything that he called for was in- stantly provided for himself and h.s horse. In the morning he called, in an authoritative tone, for his bill, and the hospitable landlord had all the recom- pense he desired in the surprise and altered manners of his guest. Many other whimsical acts of kindness are re- lated of h.m.
 Rossini, the composer, used to set to work at ten o'clock in the morning, having risen at nine. His toilet took half an hour, and his breakfast, house gossip, etc., another half-hour; then he took his pen and wrote continually. From ten to twelve, while he wrote, numbers of people came, some with letters of in. troducrion, or old friends, and SO on. He was very glad to make the acquaintance of tale-ted young artists; he received them with immense kindness, giving them advice and sometimes letters. But what he absolutely hated, was to be stared at as one of the sights of Paris. Once his old friend, Carafa, came and told him, "There is Russian princess on the Boulevard who waited two hours yesterday to see you pass; she warts much to make your acquaintance. What shall tell herr" "Tell her." said Rossini, that am excessively fond of asparagus. She need only go to Potel ct Chabot and buy the finest bunch she can get, and bring it here. shall then get up, and, after she has we'll inspected me in front shall turn round, and she can complete her inspection by taking the other view too, and then she may go."

A Courageous Girl.
lExchanpe.1

The bravest woman in the world lives in Birmingham. She is not yet twenty years of age, and has immortalized her self by her courage. She has shown i, in tackling, single-handed and alone, the fsrocious mouse. While the other ladies of the house ran screaming away from the animal, and found safety only in mounting the chairs and tables, our he roine, with unblanched cheeks, walks in to the pantry, where the vicious beast is lurking behind the pans or dishes, and, regardless of her personal safety, begias the hunt by rattling the tinware. In a moment the mouse is scampering along the shelves, spurred up to its utmost activity by the hands of the plucky girl, who is determined to capture the animal alive. A live mouse in woman's hand Can you realize the courage it requires for woman to handle live mouse2 A little cry of delight and the victory IS won. The girl comes out of the pantry with smiling face and cheeks rosy with the excitement of the chase. She goes into the sitting-room holding the prize in her hand, the little fellow struggling to get away. The ladies, still perched on the chairs and table, set up a chorus of screams, much to the delight of the brave young lady, who sometimes varies the sport by letting the captive loose on the table or floor. The scene that follows, if it could be reproduced on the stage of theatre, would make for tune for the manager.

Adams and Emerson.
March Atlantic.I

If John Adams was the progenitor of a line of marked men, all following with unequal paoes in his steps, Emerson was the eminent close of a series of men from whom he drew the characteristics refined by a long process of selection. Dr Holmes has touched with skill upon the race and class qualities which found their consummate flower in this last of line of preachers, and any student of New England life is likely to halt before the interesting problem of Emerson's en- vironment and derivation. John Adams had completed his public life when Emerson was born. The profession which he had refused. because he knew himself made for other things, was still the leading profession, and Emerson, growing up in its traditions, was to let it slip from his shoulders a q cloak when he should stand up under . selEordina- ton, or, if one chooses, under laying of unseen hands. The descent from min. isters vas something more than . matter of hereditary influence; for Emerson's thought, even when iconoclsstic. may fairly be taken as the outcome of that spirit of intellectualism which min- isters, more than any others, had kept in flame in New England Az Jvhn Adams was the incarnation of political New England, e Emerson vas the finest product of the free-thinking New Eng land, which had found no subject outside the range ofitY speculation. The two were both critical men Adams came to the

He was president of a Georgia railroad then, and in New York on business. He was'a regular martinet in his profession, stem and unrelenting. He was an old bachelor, too, and so far as is known never had tender feelings to- ward woman cE .kia. He had lived s life solitary and absolutely unsenti- mental. We were all surprised to see such emotion in such a man, but none of us said anything except young George -, ot Atlanta. He laughed at the old generals weakness.
 "!Can you witness such scene as that with dry eyesr inquired the general with all his old sternness of manner and speech.
 Why, of course I can. could laugh at it even as laugh at you.'
 " See here, George - said general McRae, with great earnestness, you are cashier of bank in Atlanta. In that bank my company has many thousands of dollars deposited. Immediately upon my return home every dollar of our de- posits shall be with hdrawn. You may be an honest man, but l do not feel safe with our money in an institution where one of the responsible officers IS a person who talks as you talk tonight

front in the crisis of political independ- ence Emerson in the crisis of religious independence. Theodore Parker was the wind which stormed against the conven- tionally religious man, and only made while Emerson, shining and smiling, made him loosen his robes and bare himself to the outer air.
 The visit of Emerson to England was the return of New England to the L. other country in a mole emphatic sort than was Hawihorne's. Never does England seem farther away from America than when one is reading English Traits" Below the surface of shrewd observation one nav catch sight of the spirit of England driven across the Atlantic POO years be- fore, given new environment, set upon the same questions but bidden ask them in the open air, and getting it's answer in such wise as Q make everything strange when revisiting its old haunts. The in- dividuality of Emerson, testing and try ing England, is sharp enough, if one looks only for that, but it is easy also to resolve it into speakership for new people.
 It is, however, in the attitude of Elmer. son towards his own countrymeR that his personality is most interesting. With all his written and spoken words concerning America-and it is impossible to read his "May Day" without perceiving how great relief to him was the return oi peace after the separating war-one fails to find the evidence of any passionate de- votion to his country. The service which John Adams rendered in his loyalty to the nation, which he saw less by imagination than by an heroic, sturdy relaization of the facts of human life about him, was such service as racked the giver. En- erson, in speaking of the volume of Letters and Social Aims" which Schmidt introduced to the German pub lie, used the expression village thoughts" A piece of slightly conscious humility must not be taken too gravely, yet the estimate really does partially set of Emerson's defect on this side. He was at home in Concord. Anywhere else he was a stranger. Even Boston was a place to visit, though he gave that city an affection which is embodied in some noble verses. The occasional glimpses which Dr. Holmes gives of the poet on his travels in his own country serve to deepen the impression which one forms of the purely spectacular shape of the country in MT. Emerson's vision. He was not indifferent to the struggles going on, and yet they were rather disturbances to his spirit than signs of life which quickened his own pulse.
