NEW YORK. July 2l.-For the first
time since the fire of Friday Jay Gould
this morning was at his Office on the Sec
ond floor of the Western Union building.
Little damage was done by the water
there and the usual force of clerks was
engaged in the usual routine. Said he
to a reporter: Il was not connected with
the company when this building was
erected, but understood it to be as nearly
f~ireproof as possible. The floors, walls
and stairwsys were all indestructible. Of
course. necessarily a vast amount of fuel
was on had in the furniture needed to
accommodate so many persons. 1t must
be said, however. in view OF the probable
origin of the fire, that had it broken out
at any other time it would almost certain
ly have been e~xtinguIshed at once. The
fire doubtless arose from tho contact of
several wires which were raised to a white
heat BY the combined currents, lgniting
the covering of the wires and woodwork
near by. The men usually on hand at
the point where the fire began were not
there at that time to check the spread of
the flames. which were not discovered un-
I'll they had made some Roadway. When
the fire was at length noticed, the force
OF men on the spot was unequal to &C
complish what they at first attempted,
namely, to extinguish the fire without
giving an alarm. Thus, instead of say
ing that at any other hour the fire would
probably have caused a great loss Of life,
it Is doubtless proper to say hat at any
other hour the building would not have
been DESTROYED.

hear of heretics who had refused to abb
jure their faith being handed over to the
church by the civil authorities to be
branded with a hot iron on the forehead,
have their clothes torn off from the waist
up and be whipped through the public
streets. Boycotting was at hat time a
legal practice, whatever it may be now,
for the said heretics were not only for
hidden to worship as they desired, but
forbidden to enter the houses of ortho
dox believers, or even to purchase the
necessaries of life.
The popular notion of the crusaders as
an army of Bayards, "sans peur ct sans

code of criminal law which Richard
Cosur de Lion enacted for the especial
benefit of those with whom he set out
for holy Palestine. If any one of them
were convicted of theft boiling pitch

pillow full of feathers shaken over him,
and he was to be abandoned at the first
port the vessel touched. Whoever killed
another on board ship was to be tied to
the corpse and cast into the sea; whoever
killed another on shore was to be tied to
the corpse and buried with it. A blow
was to be punished by three duckings in
the sea, and the use of the knife in a
quarrel caused the aggressor to lose one
of his hands.-An the Year Round.

At Rome. Ga. while a horse was loose
in the stable one of his hind feet got
caught in his mouth. 1t is supposed that
the animal was rubbing the flies from
his nose with his hind foot, when by &C
cident the foot passed into the mouth.
The hoof was shod with a heavy iron
shoe, and the sharp corners of the shoe
and hoof cut very painful wounds in the
mouth. The animal fell to the ground
and continued to struggle without relief.
When he was discovered he was covered
with foam and showed every sign of a

The fact is that there is altogether too
much reverence for rascals and for ras-
cally methods on the part of tolerably
decent people. Rascality is picturesque.
doubtless, and In fiction it has even its
moral uses; but in real life it should
have no liberation, and it is, as a matter
of fact. seldom accompanied by the abil-
ity that it brags.
One proof that the smart rogue is not
so smart as he thinks and as others
think is that he so often comes to grief.
He arrives at his successes through his
knowledge of the evil in men: he comes
to grief through his ignorance of the
good in men. He thinks he knows s'hu-
man nature" put he only half knows it.
Therefore he is constantly in danger of
making a fatal mistake. For instance,
his excuse to himself for lying and trick
cry is that lying and trickery are in
dulged in by others-eyen by some men
who make a loud boast of virtue before
the world.
A little more or less of lying and trick
cry seems to make no difference, he as
sumes-especially SO long as there is no
public display of lies and tricks-for he
understands that there must always be a
certain outward propriety in order to in
sure even the inferor kind of success he
is aiming at.
But having no disable conscience to
guide him he undertakes the sensitive
ness of other consciences-and especially
the sensitiveness of that vague sentiment
called public opinion"-and he makes a
miscalculation, which, if it does not land
him in the ~penitentiary, at least makes
him of no use to his respectable allies;
therefore of no use to his semi-criminal
associates; therefore a surprised, miser-
able and vindictive failure.-Century
