struck the English oil steamer Petro.
liza in the harbor of Blaise today, ex
ploding the gas formed from the
petroleum, blowing the vessel
to pieces and igniting the oil,
which fioated burning round
the harbor The shock of the explo.
sion alarmed the town and the heat
from the burning vessel was so great
that small craft could not approach. A
venturesome boatman saved 16 of
the crew, some severely burned.
Twenty more of the crew persisted in
the flames with the vessel and not q
body was found. The crews of other
vessels, which caught fire, did their
utmost to quench the flames, but
fruitlessly. Several vessels, mostly
of the river and cosstwise trade,
burned to the waters edge.

the Mccarthy cabIsgram re-
fusing his proposed terms of com.
promise said Mccarthy, personally, is
ignorant of the situation In Ireland
as regards the elections. Dillon's
proposal was impracticable as 1t is
impossible to organize board of ar.
filtration, and each party ought to
maintain its strength until Gladstone
discloses his policy and the
members will each be willing
to exchange seats. Where Parnellites
are representing McCarthyites and
vice versa this plan will be only six
displacsments. This is the final
offer of the Parnellites.

The Butchers Rock.

A butchers pass book Is q delusion
and q snare. When 1t should be at
the thouse of q custom, it Is sure to
be at the stall of the dealer, and vice
versa. Ii is absurd to suppose. such
thing to be of any protection to the
customer. The butcher can get the
best end of the stick every time, but
the best way to manage him is TO de.
mand a daily bill, bearing date,
weight and price and examine it
every morning. Never postpone the
examination of q butchers bill until
the end of the month. Never receive
your provisions without daily bill.

Tasteful Dishes.

Hash Put one and a half teacups
of boiling water into saucepan, and
make thin paste with a teaspoon of
water. Stir and boil it for three
minutes. Add halt teaspoon Of
black pepper, rather more of salt,
and one tablespoon of butter. Chop
cold beef into fine hash, removing
all, tough, gristly pieces; put the
meat into tin pan, pour over it the
gravy above mentioned, and let 1t
heat ten minutes or so, but not cook.
If preferred, add equal quantity of
chopped boiled potatoes, and If you
have the gravy of yesterdays dinner,
you may use 1t instead of the made
gravy, and you will need less pepper
and salt and butter.
