BAYONNE FIRBBUGS,
Two Incendiary Blazes-
Easter Church Cele-
bratiOnS.

F1rebugs were responsible for two fires
last night in this city. On each occasion
the tiremen had long runs through the
muddy streets and did good work with
their apparatus. The first blaze occurred
at nine O'Clock in the three story frame
dwelling house of Mrs. Quinn on Avenue
e and Eighteenth street. Only a few
nights ago fire was discovered in the
same place, Officer Smith found it
blazing fiercely, and sent in the alarm.
After considerable hard work the fire was
extinguished, but not before the building
bad been ruined. The damage is esti-
mated at 81 900. which is fully covered by
insurance. The weary firemen returne
to their homes, only to be awakened at
one o'clock by another alarm from
TwenJy-second street aud Avenue ID,
where a barn containing few tons of
hay was adame. The blaze was extin-
guished. Damage estimated at $500. The
property is owned by Mrs. Nellie Hur-
ley.

Mysterious Brazilian Camel.

Tho huanaco, which is small camel
which is widely distributed in South
America, has peculiar instinct OF re.
pairing to some lonely, deserted spot
when seized with the pangs of death,
and, removed from all its healthy com.
panions, suocumbing to its last sickness
in sort Of dismal yet poetic isolation.
Darwin and Fitzroy have noted this
strange custom, and Mr.. Hudson dwells
at some length upon its unique sugges.
tions. "It looks, in fact" he says, "less
like an instinct Of one Of the inferior
creatures than the superstitious observ.
ancs of human beings, who have knowl.
edge Of death, and believe in continued
existence after dissolution"
Mr. Hudson is inclined to explain this
almost mysterious practice with the hua.
naco by the assumption of au immense
antiquity for the species. and that the
inherited habit Of a far distant period,
when its representatives resorted to some
secluded place protected from the as
saults of their enemies, has been i'm.
pressed upon the stock, so that by an
automatic movement, when sickened with
disease or old age, it turns to the hidden
refuge which generations Of its kind have
sought in the same blind manner. -

sometimes thrown into the rooms, so
that the donors may be guessel at, but

churches, service is held at four o'clock
on Christmas morning, when, for the

cross between the silk hat and the

either of those styles. 1t has always had
the discomforts of the silk hat without
having its dash or beauty, and it has not
been much dressier than neat soft hat,
