Panic at a Fire.

An extensive and disastrous fire occurred
in London recently, at lumber yard at
Bermondsey, a southeastern suburb Of that
city The lumber yard was surrounded by
number of tenement houses, occupied by
some of the poorest families of Bermond-
sey, nearly all of whom were utterly unin-
sured. When the fire broke out there was
a wild commotion and dismay among these
poor people, who saw themselves in danger
of losing their little all by the condsgration.
and many most exciting scenes were wit
messed Women almost completely un-
dressed, with babes in their arms, and ac-
companied by older children, rushed,
screaming with terror, into the streets, while
Others. retaining 10 some extent, their pres
ence of mind, threw their slender stock of
furniture out of the windows. La this
manner a number OF tenement houses ad-
joining the blazing lumber yard we're aban-
doned by their occupants, and, in some iu-
st ,nces, none too soon, for number of
these rookeries were destroyed by the fire,
which, also, laid the lumber yard in ashes.
Considerable distress, as natural result Of
the destruction of the tenement houses, ex-
lists among the poor people who were bereft
of their homes aud belongings by the flames.

THE WHITE, WHITE ROSE.

William Page Garter, in The Century.
0 Georgia girl, with the storm-black eye,
Don't you mind long ago when the troops
marched by.
Down the quaint old town of Maryland,
The sorry little lad in Stonewall's band?
Twas a beautiful eve of a blue June day,
In his tattered cap and jacket of gray;
You smiled but you pressed the sun-brown
hand
OF the sorry little lad in Stonewalls band.
O Georgia girl. with the hanging heir
OF russet and gold in the sundown air,
Don't you mind that rose from the border
land
That YOU gave to the lad in Stonewall's band?
Twas a white rose, white as rose could be,
And you stood meath the leaves OF maple
tree
queen all crowned. Twas a beautiful
And the lad on the chestnut horse was king.
o Georgia girl. with the tripping feet,
Don't you mind that house on the great big
street?
And the ball that night and the banner decked
hill?
For bold old rebel was Or. McGil
Oh, the waltz, and the seat on the winding
stair,
And the storm-black eyes, and the red-gold
hair,
And smile. oh smile like the noontime sun,
o Georgia girl, was it all for fun?
0 Georgia girl 'twas'a sweet farewell
To exchange for the burst of shot and shell
AT Gettysburg But the gold-red hair,
And the eyes and the smile with the rose went
there.
Safe under the stars of that flaming cross,
But the bullets made merry with the chestnut
horse
O Georgia girl, tbs a long time ago; =
still the seasons come and the roses blow
There's the white, white rose and the rose
that is grand,
But none like the rose from the borderland.
'Tis long time ago All sad are the years,
And broken the lutte that was swept in tears
battered the spear and crumbled with rust
Tired are the feet with the battle dust;
But the white, white rose the dews sui un-
furl
For the sorry little lad, from the Georgia
girl.

The first strike on record among Eng
ish-speaking people was in 1349, when
the agricultural laborers of England re.
fused to work for the wages paid, and al
most the whole crop of the island rotted
in the fields. Parliament passed stringent
laws imposing heavy penalties on any me-
chanic or laborer who refused to work at
the old rate for any one needing his SER
vices. The first great strike in modern
times was the lockout of the ironmen in
1851, 10000 in number.

A Busv Woman, She.


Edward w. Box, the wellknown purvey-
or of literary news, gives some interesting
information about Mrs Dewitt Talmsge in
the current issue of the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal Mrs. Talmage, it seems, was Miss Su-
san Whittemore, daughter Of New York
architect. She was married to the noted
preacher on May Z, 1868. She is said by
Mr.. Box to be distinctly her husbands right
hand, and all the details of his busy life are
looked after by her. "She is splendid bus
iness woman, having a rare executive abili-
ty, capable of easily handling a number OF
things at the same time. Much of DIR. Tai.
mage's work is planned and laid out by her.
She makes his pastoral and social engage
ments, aud all his lectur ng interests are in
her hands. She knows his capabilities even
better than he"
In her personality Mrs. Talmage has been
favored Her disposition is sympathetic by
nature. Like her husband, she sees only
the cheerful side of life Her whole per-
sonnel suggests activity Her eyes are
good index to her life; they are never still.
Her features are pleasing and are rarely
without the smile which continually plays
upon them She is in the prime of life. of
me lium height, full of figure and is more
often con.idered handsome than fair. Her
face is youthful because she keeps her heart
Young and her hands busy. She is good
dresser, always tasteful in her wardrobe, but
mover SNOWY.

Relics of Amctent Persta.

A vast quantity of relics, the result OF
the excavations carried on for long time
on the site of the ancient Susa by NJ.
Dieulafoy and his companions, have ar
rived at the museum of the Louvre
They were brought to Toulon in trans
port from Bassorah, and filled 30 chests
that weighed over 10000 kilosrammes
Cnearly forty-nine tons. The chief con-
tents are: Cd Two fragments Of a ireze
of enamelled earthenware adorned with
lions in bas-relief, from the principal en-
trance to the palace of Artaxerxes Nine
mon-both fragments are over thirteen
feet high by nearly thirty feet long "
a similar fragment of frieze from the
palace of King Darius Hystaspes, adorn-
ed with twelve figures of the loyal body
guard, the famous "Immortals this
piece is eleven and one half feet high, by
nearly forty feet long (3) two fragments
of staircase in same material (4) two
fragments of terra Gotta frieze, showing
fantastic animals-they . re together over
twenty feet long by nearly SIX high, C5)
the capital of pillar from the palace OF
Artaxerxes, representing a two-headed
monster-it is sixteen feet high by thlr-
teen feet in width CO. a collection of cut
gems, numbering about 800, which seems
to date from the earliest period of the
Sa.sanide dynasty; % a large number
of arrow headed Inscriptions on stone or
glazed earth, mostly from Susa (S) a
considerable collection of bronze coins
from Susa and the neighboring districts
from the time of the Parlhians and Sassa-
hides (9) a quantity Of bronze orna-
ments and mountings of the outer doors
of the palace Of Ariaxerxes; qO) a
number of statuetteS of bronze, ivory,
terra Gotta and marble, a quantity of va
ses and t. ilet ware; (11) a mass of OBJ
jects of comparatively small value, enam-
elled Sassanide vases, Parihian urns for
the dead, iron and bronze weapons, in
struments and skeletons. Besides these
things the expedition took plaster casts
on large scale Of portions of the palace
of Artaxerxes, also ph, tographs of the
neighborhood of Susa, the sites of the ex-
porations of various old monuments and
ruins in other parts of Persia. 1t is be-
lieved that five or six months will be re-
quired to get all the things in order.
Disful, the modern village oD the site of
Susa, is about 400 kilometres from Bas
sorah AT first the expedition encoun
tered much opposition from the natives,
owing to report that the Frenchmen
wanted to carry away the body Of the
prophet Daniel, which is supposed to be
buried in a cave in the neighborhood, a
great object Of pilgrimage.-London
