GENERAL FREMONT'S BOOK.

The Washington Star tells how Gener-
al Fremont's forthcoming memoirs are
written: "The Fremonts live in COM
modious house that overlooks the wood
ed grounds of the British Legation, the
trees Of Nineteenth street and the shrub
berry Of Dupont Circle" The family at
present here consists of the General and
Mre. Fremont and their daughter. The
two sons are married. One is in the
navy, the other lives in Montana. The
work room is on the second floor of the
house. The handsome bed room furni-
ture Of the apartment was removed to
give place to the necessary working out
fit. There is bay window in the east
end Of the room, on the right of which is
placed the Generals table, surmounted
by tall set of pigeon-holes, where let
tiers, notes and papers are kept. On the
other side of the window is placed Mrs.
Fremonts table, large, plain affair,
covered with green leather. The Gen
eral dictates and Mrs. Fremont writes
down each word OF the story as it falls
from his lips. The family group is, how
ever, not yet complete. In the alcove is
placed typewriter, and with it Miss
Fremont TRANSFORMS her mothers man
uscript into neat, legible print. Here
they all work together, as happy as need
be, all day long. The rule OF the house
is to rise at Z, take cup of tea and roll,
and begin work at and continue until
II, when breakfast Is taken. At / O'Clock
they resume work and forge ahead until
6, when the stop for the day and for
dinner is made. In the evening, the copy
is sent ont, and IN the morning other
proof sheets are received from the print
OF. General Fremont is now seventy
four years old, but looks scarce sixty.
His hair, short beard and mustache are
white, but his brown eyes are as clear and
bright as stars, and his complexion has
the ruddy, healthy glow Of happy child
hood. His height rs medium, and his
slight figure is comfortably rounded"

THAT AWFUL NIGHT AT CHAR
LESION.

A young lady who arrived in this city
from Charleston yesterday, said to a
World reporter: II have neither Ian
guage nor nerve to describe the horrors
of the last few days. We had no warn
ing. First came that awful roaring sound,
and we all started and looked at each other
with frightened questioning faces. Then
the house swayed swiftly and heavily from
side to side, the walls crashed all around
us, negroes yelled, men, women and chill
dren, who poured out by hundreds into
the steets, half of them In their night
clothes, cried out in terror. Then the
gas went out, the skies we're darkened,
and no one could find his nearest and
dearest. All the while the earth rolled
beneath our feet like the waves of the
ocean. Suddenly all about us the skies
were lit by fires in all parts of the city,
and news came that the water works
were damaged, and people cried despair
ingly, No water! no waterP hardly
dare recall what happened that night.
When / think of it, it seems as il my
reason would leave me; but of all l
loved none are dead and none are wound
ed, thank Godl
'The streets are full of tents, and turn
where one will ruin stares one in the
face. Babies are born in the streets. We
had a patient of my brothers who was
brought to our garden. She felt as if be-
ing near him might save her, and she yet
lives. l was many times at the bel of a
lady who was in the hospital. The morn
ing of that night she had an operation
performed upon her. The hospital fell.
She was found in her bed unconscious,
lay in the street all night, and then was

THE EARTHQUAKE TERROR.


To those who have never experienced
an earthquake the accounts of the ex-
treme terror into which the people of
Charleston have been thrown are apt to
appear perplexing. But the fact Is that
the earthquake is the most terrifying of
all phenomena. 1t breaks up the foun-
dations of what is unconsciously the
strongest faith natural to men, namely,
faith in the stability of the earth upon
which they tread. When that begins to
reel under them, and when massive build
ings sway and totter under and around
them, the strongest nerves will give way.
The man who says an earthquake does not
brighten him is not to be believed upon
oath. A convulsion which removes every
dependence, which makes it as dangerous
to go as to stay, which converts what
were shelters and refugees into the means
OF death and mutilation, which puts the
strongest and the weakest, the wisest and
the silliest, the richest and the poorest,
upon one common level of impotence and
heIplessness, must cause the most pro-
found and enduring fears in all alike.
Nor do men become habituated to these
disturbances even in the countries where
they are most frequent. If all earth
quakes produced the same effects it would
be possible to get used to them, but a
man may pass safely through nineteen,
and be killed by the twentieth. No an
ticipation is of any use in regard to them,
and no precautions are OF any avail. The
crowd that flies from falling buildings
to the open may meet the fate OF the
fugitives who sought safety on the Lis
bon quay. There is no assurance in fight,
and there is no protection in quiescence.
Every element of the situation is appall-
ing, and it is not to be wondered at that
under such visitations whole communi-
ties should seem to be given over to panic
fears. They are so given over, and they
cannot help but be in the circumstances,
and in the same conditions any people
would exhibit the same terror. The
effect of this apprehension upon the del
icate, especially women and children, is
apt to be serious. The losses inflicted
in death and wounds are the most tangi-
BILE, but not the most numerous. Such
scenes as the people Of Charleston have
gone through leave their mark upon the
nervous system, and produce mischiev-
GUS results subsequently, NeaU York
Tribune.

REPAIRING THE CASTLE OF Chill
LON.

1t is said that the Canton de Vaud is
shout to repair the Castle of Chillon and
to make it residence fit for human hab-
itation. We see no reason why one of
the most interesting buildings in the
world should not be rescued from damp
and decay, so that it may afford shelter to
happier human beings than the luckless
prisoners who once pinned within it's
gloomy dungeon walls. The lake which
laves and gently kisses its foundations is
said to be 800 feet deep beneath the win
dows which still dimly light Bonnivard's
cell, and in the seven pillars which Byron
has immortalized the iron rings to which
the early reformers were chained are
deeply imbe dded. The furrow wrought
In the stone pavement by Bonnivard's
footsteps during his six years of incarcer-
alton is still visible, and across his cell
stretches wooden beam black with age,
from which it is said the condemned
were formerly suspended. We entertain
no doubt that the dungeon occupied
for many generations by nameless pris-
oners, and celebrated 10y Rousseau and
Lord Byron, has long brought in
good revenue to the Syndic of the
Canton, in which it is situated. To
be on the Lake of Geneva without visit
ing Chillon would be tantamount to put
ting Hamlet" on the stage without as
signing part to the Prince of Denmark.
Even, however, if Chillon be repaired and
modernized, the flow of English and
American visitors will probably know no
decline. Far different would it be Ken
ilworth or Tintern Abbey or Tantallon
Castle we're handed over to the too often
merciless restorer. We have but to cast
our eyes across the channel in order to
discern and appreciate the mischief
wrought in France by King Louis Phil
ippe when he undertook, without taste,
without reverence for the past, and With.
out competent architect to guide him,
to repair the ravages perpetrated by the
French Revolution upon the medieval
