BLAZE AMONG THE BALES.
a $1,000 to SIS, 900 Fire on the Ocean
Steamship Wharves.

Steams ship Wharves
Fire broke out few minutes after noon
yesterday in lot of cotton at the western
end Of the Ocean steamship wharves. Be
tween fifteen hundred and two thousand
bales " ere "heaiedn close together between
the railroad tracks south of the cotton press
warehouse. The fire started about the CEN
ter Of the platform. 1t was discovered al
most as soon as it started, and efforts were
made by the wharf hands and the Ocean
steamship police to check its progress. An
alarm was turned in from box No. AZ
and Chief Puder, with engines Nos. l, and
y, was quickly on hand. Streams were
already playing on the fire. The engines
were got quickly to work, and in ten min
utes' time half dozen streams were playing
The flames spread rapidly, and for time
disastrous contlagration was threatened.
A loaded train was standing on the track
east Of where the fire started. The
wind was blowing towards the train, on the
oppoite side of which were several thousand
more bal S. The train was kept In position
to prevent the spread of the fire in that
direction.
The promptness with which the wharf
hands and the fire department got to work
prevented the fire spreading. Not over ten
or twelve bales were burned. Upwards of
250 and possibly 800 bales were
scorched, but tho damage to these
is comparatively slight. The cotton was
entirely for export, and a part of it was
compressed. The ownership of the cotton
could not be got at yesterday. The loss is
estimated at from $1,000 to 5000. The
cotton was fully insured. Chief Puder kept
two engines at work during most of the
afternoon, and the department was not dis
missed until o'clock having been at work
since noon. The cars in the train on the
side next to the fire were scorched, but the
damage is inconslderable.

How Local Candidates Are Affected
by Yesterdays Appointments.
The appointment of Patrick Egan as
minister to Chill yesterday is peculiarly
gratifying to the Irish-American eleme It Of
this city, and the friends of Capt. M. j.
Doyle were enthused over it, as Mr.. Eyan
was supported by Patrick Ford and other
prominent Irish protectionists in New York
and Washington, who are supposed to be
urging Capt. Doyles appoi tment as col
1ector of customs. They also rejoice over
the appointment of l.. NJ. Terrell as super
intendent of the fourth division of the rail
way mail service, which embraces the ter
rltory of Georgia, South Carolina, Florida
and Alabama, because Mr. Terril was
opposed by the Buck faction of the party,
whose defeat lead them to hope that
the Buck party is not in high favor with
the administration at Washington, but the
friends Of Mr.. johnson say they can see
nothing significant in Mr.. Terrel's appoint
ment beyond the fact that it may be taken
to foreshadow the policy Of the administra-
ton TO replace in Office those whom the
democrats displaced, which two divergent
views show that things may be viewed from
different standpoints, and that the poet
wrote truly that hope springs eternal in
the human breast The candidate for office
has never a tinge of agnosticism.

Garflelds Interest In Children.

Garheld's interest in children was OF a
very marked and special kind. It showed
itself in many ways. Many persons who
read these lines will, presume, remember
his saying:
II always feel like taking my hat off te
small boy. l do not know but may bo
speaking TO the President OF the United
States. Men in middle life have already
shown about what they are capable Of, and
therefore we know about what to expect of
them. But no man can tell what power
small boy may yet develop, and what
he may yet accomplish"
In the same spirit he watched closely
all the traits of children as seen in thei
work aud in their games, ard when they
were not aware of being observed.
He quoted with much interest the say
ing of some writer, that "The life Of real
boy has never yet been written"
He would frequently tell some curious
anecdote Of the saying OF his acquaintance
He said that one boy Of perhaps five years
of age, whom lie knew and whose father
was public speaker, one day saw his
father walking the floor and gesturing as
he studied his coming speech. The boy,
who had often heard his father in public
addresses. watched him for awhile and then
inquired: "Papa, what makes you stand
up and holler ?" This amused Mr.. Gar
field very much, and he called il ciild's
conception of II public address, which wss
