In the terrible story Of the FIRE
at the Blockley almshoase, Philadelphia,
let our levy courtmen and our trustees OF
the poor read the imperative Importance
Of neglecting no precSution to insure our
new county buildings against such fate.
The Philadelphia building was old,
ricketty aud Ill planned; the build
ings which our poor and insane are
soon to occupy are new and have cost
enough to be we'll planned and secure
from destruction by FIRE. We presume
that they are; we are not disposed to find
any fault with them We only desire t.
impress upon those who have charge o
their construction the graveresponsibilitI
under which they stand to make SURF
that II anything ia lacking to render thea
buildings safe It be attended to before
they are occupied. Lot every care b
taken that no imprisoned psupeIs OIL

by bribery.
He bought . camel and crossed to

Debbeh he came to Korti in an English

Abdul Kerim continues to add to his
history OF the fall Of Khartcnm. He says
that Fsrsg, upon whom Gordon relit d
implicitly was really the person who
deliv red Kbsrtoum over to III Mahdi's
troops. When they entered the city II
was Farsg who prevented the garrison
from firing upon them. The story that

General Gordon secured his Liberation,
and that when he subsequently entered
