AT Helena, Ark, on the 3lst woman
named Jennie Wilson met a fearful death
by fire while surrounded by people. She
and several others were sitting around a
stove asleep. A coal Of fire escaped from
the stove and caught among the woman's
clothes, aud when she awoke she was
totally enveloped in flames, while her
companions stood sreechless and notion
less with fear.
SUCH a scene as there was in the Birm-
ingham, Ala, Stock Exchange on the 3lst,

LEARN TO LISTEN,
How TO Keep All the Elements of n
Society in Pleasant Mood.

In order to keep all the elements Of
n company sweet the ordinary rules
OF politeness are of course necessary
no rudeness, no oilense to each others
self-esteem; on the contrary, much
mutual Difference is required. Some
times. however, there is very turbid
kind Of conversation, where there is
no want of common good breeding.
This most frequently arises from there
b'ing too great disposition to speak,
and too small disposition 10 listen.
Too many are eager to get their ideas
expressed, or to attract attentions; and
the consequence is, that nothing IL
heard but broken snatchcs and frag'
mcnts Of discourse. in which there is
neither profit nor entertainments
No man listens TO what another has to
say, and then makes relative or ad-
ditionally illustrative remark. Ono
may be heard for minute, or half
minute. but it is with manifest inn
patience, and the moment he is done,
or stops to draw breath, the other
plunges in with what he had to say,
being something quite of another
strain. and referring to another SUBJ
feet He in his turn is Interrupted by
n third with the enuncation OF some
favoritc ideasfof his, equally irrela-
tive;sand thus conversation becomes
no conversation, but contention for
permission TO speak few hurried
words. which nobody cares TO hear, or
take the trouble TO answer Mean
while, the modest and weak sitsl ileni
and ungratlfied. The want of regu-
lation is here very manifest 1t would
be hotter to have president who
should allow every body minute in
succession to speak without inter.
ruplion. than thus TO have freedom.

PORTLAND, Me-, Dec, 3l-lt Is evident
that Portland escaped great danger

The gale struck Portland Head al halt

Up to that time, while the wind had been

Apparently the monster wave came IN
the shape Of pyramid. II struck nfst
against the outer line Of rock, and AZ that
time, when the fountains Of the mighty
deep seemed 20 have broken up, mass OF
water lowered up even, as thoy believe
with the light.hous itself. Between tho
line of rock extending Tor perhaps nun
dred feet along the sea line and the shore,
is an opening some forty feet deep, and
varying from ten to twenty feet in length
This space was never filed with water
until last night, when the giant wave
broke and filled IL from above.
Waves Of ordinary size and power
breaking and pressing behind added
their strength 10 that OF the monster.
and the entire mass was hurled sixty feet
above high ater mark against the engine,
boiler and fog-horn house. The force OF
the blow was such that the building, built
as strongly as possible, was bent, twisted
and shattered. Great IRON straps were
snapped as though they had been plp'.
stems, and the receding wave carri'd
with it every tn ing on shore, including
stones Weighing tons.
A farmer who lives on the shore OF Cape

/ il struck tho cliffs il seemed as though I
/ fairly smashed them to pieces. The force

the Tide Is Low.
OF all the wonderful sights in this
world of wonders, there are none
greater than the wonders Of the reef
when the tide is low. The ideas
about coral which people have who
have never seen It in its living state
are generally erroneous. They know
it as beautiful white ornament

they imagine living coral is like

by the common misnomer of trees and

willie and New Albany, on the Ohio river
are just at present in a great state Of
agitation from various causes. Ono is the
seizure Of their streets by railroads, the
State and other parties. They believe
that they are being hemmed in, and they
mean to protest vigorously. A NOV 'ment
is now on foot among the people Of that
locality to organize, hold an election, send
delegates to the National Congress, and
demand admission as a Territory or Dis.
trict under the old Virginia charter, which
they hold is still in force. Clarksville,
next TO Vinconnes, is the oldest town in
Indiana. In October, l773 Virginia
caused a town to be surveyed onthe north
bnnk OF the falls Of the Ohio, de
scribed rs being situated in the county OF
illinois. This was TO be laid of in a
reservation Of 100000 acres, granted &c
General George Rogers Clark aud his men
and officers, who marched with him and
reduced the British posts at kaskask.a
and Nincsnnes. The fee simple together
with the government of tho town, was
vested in ten trustees. March |, 1884,,

You can stand within few feet OF the
