Set ON Fire by . Lunatie.

MONTREAL, May 9.-The authoritiea
investigating tho Tongue Pointe Asy-
lum fire believe that it was started BY an
incendiary, and that it was the work OF
one of the crazy patients. The fire

no fires near the spot, and the only ex-
PLANTATION is that the fire was started
by one of tho inmates. Lunatics are
being arrested all over tho island Of
Montreal. Ten were picked up in the
streets to-day.

But had she been faithfuli Yes, ~ only .
through suffering and peril to please him;
had watched with him In siokness, borne
him children, toiled at the loom to clothe
children that were his but not hers, and
had been worn out in his cause, yet had
long been cast Of and spuFped about like
IN outWorn garment
But the doughty Bishop had placated
Cisten0, and that was the main point; the
Light flick upon the ear Of her naughty
whose place the child's mother had
usurped, had been avenged. Six times tho
drst wife had soon her throne In her hus-
bAnd's heart and homo taken by . fresh
form, and with each change felt herself
pushed farther and farther into debasing
service and neglect. Yet she was helpless.
She had no other home, no other shelter;
her life hero and, she believed, hereafter,
hung upon the humble endurance Of . per-
common lot Of elderly women in polygamy,
the most soul-starving, heart-breaking life
that can tall to womankind.
The next morning, which was the second
after ElchArd's departure, the Bishop,
clothed In his beat apparel and moat agree
able Continuance, came In through Burl
Hartman's gate and tapped respectfully at
tho door. Ifo2n came In response, ana

trAyed her fear and dislilce Of their visitor.
Very bland and obsequious he was, how
ever, - with hat In hand, his black hair
piastered smoothly against his temples and
reached up over . narrow forehead, his
wide and bulky person clad in . heavy ILL
fitting suit Of brown, and his dark eyes
twinkling, he stood before her.
''Good mornin', Mise Hartman I" he said,
with explosive aRability, putting out his fat
hand, shows your fatherI"
"Re II not very we'll, thank you," said
Trean, but she did not put her hand in the
one extended toward her. II the penalty of
refusal had been her life It seemed TO her
abe could not; NO, not after Paul Elchard
had hold her hand In his loving and unpol-
luted palm aho Kissed 1t. But she placed q
chair for the Bishep and invited him to be
seated with what decency Of speech and
manner she could command.
He accepted 1t without affecting notice Of
the affront she had proRered him, but with
0 smoky look about the eyes.
"When was Brother Hartman taken
sick" hs inquired
"sabbAth morning just before meeting"
"Ah, yes; remember did mot notice him
there" He might have added, had 1t been

w. Z. CAMPBELL, the apparently meek
and mild hammered young man, who
formerly edited paper in Maysville'
but who is now assistant enrolling clerk
OF the House, turns ont to be a very BAD
one. Mr.. T. III. Davis, editor OF the
Maysville Republican, said something
about tailor named Campbell skipping
out leaving his debts unpaid, and adj
ding that he is not the first one OF the
name that has proved to oe a dead beat,
Taking this as fling at himself, Mr..
Campbell shakes his CORY locks and says
he must have "bud," that Mr.. Davis
must fight duel or be killed on sight,
&c. We fear there is not much chance
for fight. Mr.. Davis has probably fed
t, the mountains OF Hepsidam, scared
out OF his wits, though he might have
known that men who are very anxious
to fight seldom advertise it, but get in
their work and then talk.
