George Hill, who was so seriously burned on the Fourth, is recovering. Dr Richardson, who attends him daily, says that he had d narrow escape from being burned to death, but, owing to his youth and good health, no marks or other ill effects will remain on his body. This is the only accident which happened in Sandy Hook on the Fourth, and every one says that it is strange that it should have come to George, as he is about the best and incest boy in town. His moth- CT says that his friends have been most kind and attentive to him during his ill., ness and he has had sweets and goodies to his hearts content. sGeorgie has blown the organ in St. Johns since his arrival in Sandy Hook and the boys have promised to fill the position for him in turns while he is sick and let him have the pay. Rev MT Wright and Mrs Mad igan of Dayton avenue are credited with saving his life. His clothing was all ablaze, when they tore it from his body and not one minute too soon. Little Will lie Dayton is the boy who threw the fire- crackers into the powder which did the mischief.

Pride and Poverty.

One of the saddest instances
of persons "living beyond their
means as the phrase is, was re-
vealed by the confession of Mrs.
Taggart, of Cheyenne, wife of the
attorney who sold an old, almost
worthless pistol to Mckinney, a
prisoner, for $500. She said it was
starvation that drove her husband
TO the desperate act of accepting
the money for providing the Grim
NAL with the means of escape. The
TaggaTts have been apparently
keeping pace with the best society
people, dressing stylishly, keeping
carriage, and at intervals enter
tanning lavishly. But the woman
declares that in spite of outward
display they were without substan-
tial food for weeks at time, living
entirely upon bread and tea. They
had been rich at one time, but their
fortune collapsed with Nebraska
real estate boom, and their foolish
pride would not permit them to
gracefully accept the situation, &C
knowledge the poverty and live
accordingly. Such people deserve
little sympathy, except pity for
being go foolish.

The Idaho World says the Poca-

The Idaho World says the Poca-
tello convention was not a very
harmonious body, and to prove the
assertion mentions a misunder-
standing which arose between the
proprietors Of the hall and those
who procured it's use for the del
egates. It was in no sense a part
Of the proceedings of the conven-
ton. It's declaration that "they
had quite q squabble over the silver
resolution is correct, however.
Democrats do not 60 to conven-
tons to set around like warts on
toads and let the bosses run things.
They take part in the proceedings.
and that action doubtless led the
Worlds informant, who was accus-
toned to obedience on the part of
the masses, to conclude that the
convention was in state Of irre-
concilabie confusion and discord.

THr ROiae Statesman re

THE Boise Statesman recently
made mention of James M. Shoup
in connection with his election from
Custer county to the Minneapolis
convention, and quoted Mr. Shoup
as saying he was for Blaine for Pres
ident, In preference to any other
man on earth. In remarking upon
this, the Clayton Messenger, pub
lished in Mr.. Shoup's county, says ):
Mr.. 6houp, it Is said, is in favor Of
free silver coinage, and was elected on
platform which instructed its delegates
to vote for no person for President nor
Vice President who are not known to be
in favor of free and unlimited coinage Of
silver. Mr.. Blaine may be an able man.
but he is silent on the great aud only
important issue yet Mr.. Sboup
- for Blaine. The west does not Relish,
such silver men ~ Blaine, Harrison,
Cleveland, nor Hill, but give US friends
to our homes and country Bland, Teller,
Wolcott. Stewart or Morgan. Mr. ahoup
evidently believes in party in preference
to silver.

TELEGRAPH1c dispatches dated
June 5, from Pittsburg, Pennsyl-
vania, brought news of terrible
disaster that visited the oil region
of that State, calamity second
only to the memorable food at
Johnstown. Not less than one hun
dred and fifty lives were lost, and
the property loss will reach into the
millions. About midnight on the
4th instant Oil creek began to rise
rapidly and for hours swept through
the city of Titusville a resistless
flood. Rain fell in torrents, and to
add to the horror of crashing build
ings and screams of the drowning,
fire broke out in the refneries and
the burning oil swept down the
raging torrent, increasing the de-
struction an hundred fold. About
2 A. M. dull explosion was heard
and flames fully two hundred feet
high pierced the inky darkness and
threw vivid light over the terrific
scene. 1t was the Crescent oil re-
finery on fire, and never before did
flames spread SO rapidly nor seem
so horrible. Panic seized the people
and thousands rushed through the
streets in their mad flight from the
elements. Never before in the his
tory of our country were there 80
many cyclones, hurricanes and
frlghtful disastere by food in as
short a time as there have been
throughout the eastern and south
western States during the last few
weeks,

A CLEVER ENGLISHMAN.
How Lord ROsebery Made Himself Pc
ular in Australia.

How Lord ROsebery Made Himself Pop
ular in Australia.
An English letter in the Chicago Inter
Ocean illustrates Lord Rosebery's business
sagacity. When this rich young peer was in
Sydney, New South Wales. he was enter
talned with great eclat by the Athenaum
Club. powerful literary fraternity there, and
was very. soon elected member. The
club was poorly housed, though on a very
valuable site, and not being as good at bust
ness as at literature, its managers were 10 a
difficulty about prOyiding quarters Tor their
growing membership and IMPORTANCE. Lord
ROsebeTy being consulted, at once solved the
problem for them. What they wanted was
a really magnificent clubhouse. Out of re-
gard for the institution and the city, he
would himself advance the whole of
the money required, on the security
Of the land and building. and would
not require repayment for ten years.
Rates of interest were rather high in the
colony at the time, but he would he content
with per cent. The club j0yOuSly accepted
this generous offer. They spent the whole Of
the money on the premises their member
ship doubled, the fact Of Lord Rosebery's
connection causing a rush Of most desirable
candidates-and Lord RosebeTy got about
as snug and safe an investment as the heart
of man could desire. The popularity that
he got iD tile colonies by doing himself this
good turn went a long way to further his
fortunes at home.
