I'wenty.Six Boys Dead.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The boys section Of
the paupers' school in the district of
Forest Gate, in connection with the
Whitechapel and Popular Unions, took
fire last night while the inmates were
asleep and was burned with terrible re-
suit, twenty six of the boys who were
in the upper stories being sdffocated be-
fore they, could be rescued. Fifty.eig at
other boys were safely taken from the
burning building, amid terrible excite.
ment. Two of The matrons of the institu>
tion escaped in safety by sliding down wa.
ter pipes. Several Of the boys escaped in
the Same way. The superintendent of
the school rushed through the flames
repeatedly and brought out number of
the inmates There were GOO persons in
the institution.
The bodies of those who were sufioca.
ted were carried to the main hall of the
building, which was still profusely
decorated with Christmas garlanda. The
fire was started from an overheated stove.
The female department., in which were
250 girls, was not touched. The boys
retired last evening in the highest spirits,
having been promised presents and a
New Years fete to-day. The scenes in
the main hall, where the bodies of the
dead boys lie, are narrowing. Relatives
and schoolfellows of those who perished
are loud in their lamentations.
Further reports Of the fire show that
it originated in the clothing room, be.
meath the boys dormitory. The smoke
and flames issuing from the stove flue
alarmed those sleeping on the top floor,
and they made their escape. The fire
engines we're promptly on the scene.
The employees of the adjaccn! railway
station rushed TO the 7cene and rendered
valuable assistance. The crirs of the
boys who were unable to escape were
terrible. The bodies of Two boys were
badly burned, but it is believe'l that they
were suffocatcd before they were burned.

A DuEalonian Tells How H1s Tiuao is
Spent in College.
Counting undergraduates and special
students together, there are LAO young
men between the ages Of II and "a now
residing at Harvart: college. The writer
enjoyed ON interview with one Of the
Buffalo boys, who wes at home for
brief recess, short time ago. "You
will understand" he said, "that I am
neither grind nor q loafer, but an av-
erage student, and the vast majority Of
them live just about as ! do. A picture
Of my college day is about as follows:
turn out anywhere between F3O and 8
in the morning, and 60 over to Memorial
to breakfast at s or 0:30-someti1nes
earlier than that, so as to go to chapel.
Prayers como at s:45, and are well at
tended, though we don't have to 90 unless
we choose. After this recitations and
lectures tako up nearly the whole fore
noon, and have one in the afternoon
three times week. Onfour days Of the
week T have three recitations, on the
others two. Other men have them dif-
ferently, according to the electives they
take. My studies are over for the day
at 8 p. m., and they occupy, all told,
about seven hours day.
'tI'm interested in athletics, and my
afternoon from 8 to $50 Is spent in the
gymnasium, or in outdoor athletics in
the season for them. Part Of our train
ing, In suitable weather, consists Of O run
Of two miles, to Porter's station and back.
The gymnasium Is always crowded, and
you get pretty well heated up r your
exercise, whatever it Is. Then, after q
cold shower and q brisk rubbing, you
feel like king, and don't you just sleep
nights, thought I find that my athletic
training helps my studies greatly. Din
ner comes at G, and / generally study
evenings, though not always I've been
to the theatres some eight or nine times
this term, but I don't like to go to Boston
much. It takes too long and you havo
to be up late, which won't do when you
are in training.
"Many people have the idea that you
can let your studies 50 and loaf, or worse,
until two or three weeks before the eS-
aminations, and then cram up. This is
utter nonsense. It is simply impossible
10 keep up with your class in that way,
unless, indeed, you can spend $500 or
$3.50 for private tutors, and even then
you wouldn't be safe. As for cutting
recitations, if you made practice Of do
ing it oftener than twice week, you'd
be investigated, sure as fate--and that is
not at all pleasant
"On Sundays I go to church some-
where sometimes to Boston to hear
Phillips Brooks, sometimes to the college
chapel, sometimes elsewhere. There are
usually 400 or 600 at morning prayers,
and moro than that at the Sunday even
ing service, though you don't have to go
to either unless you want to."-Buffalo

4 Now Moral.

y family residing at Cape Elizabeth
have two boys, one aged and the other
81 years old. The older boy fell head
foremost into tub of water. He kicked
and screamed, but no one was near to
help him, but his little brother taking in
tho situation, began tugging away to
pull him out, His little hands were not
strong enough to do 80. All at once an
idea struck him, and he left the room to
return with switch, which he began to
apply quite vigorously to that part of his
brother hanging over the tub, nearest to
iin. Tho application Of the switch
aroused tho temper Of the boy In the tub,
who by u dcxterous use Of his legs and
tho help of his little prcscrvcr raised
himself and backed out. Moral: Spare

A Black Mans Views.

The Rev. Dr.. Edward w. Blyden, q
highly educated negro, whose utterances
have been more than once referred to in
these columns, earnestly advocates the
emigration of the Southern negroes to
Africa.
DR.. Blyden says that this is white
mans government. He thinks that
white men have the right to rule, and
ought to rule every State, County and
city in the South, aud predicts that they
will so rule. The Jacksonville Times
Union says of this remarkable black man:
DR.. Blyden is pure negro-the best
educated and most talented of his race, as
his words and works attest. He declares
that racial instincts impose upon the
white people the sacred obligation to
rule this section and this country. he
applauds the sentiment. He warns all
negroes, meaning by negroes only the
pure, unmixed blood, to ignore the 30
called "negro leagues" and NEGRO con-
ventions" organized for the purpose of
securing "a larger measure of civil and
political rights He warns them not to
attend the convention called to meet in
Washington city next February. He
finds that all self.seeking politicians who
claim to be negroes" are moDgrels, and
begs of the genuine negroes to cut loose
from the mulattoes, who, with no race
instinct, are stirring 70: the unattainable
on this continent, while the pure negroes
sees clearly the status which nature has
assigned him. He is docile and patient,
and has been led into trouble in the
South since the war, because he has suf.
fered himself to be misled by the mon
grels. In Washington city DR.. Blyden
failed to find a single pure. blooded negro
in office, or seeking Office. Of the seven
million negroes and colored people in the
South, about FIVE million are genuine
negroes, and about two millions are col
ored people, or as he calls them, mon.
grels. His purpose in this country is to
encourage the deportation of the FIVE
million negroes, or the larger per cent. Of
