A Movable Fire.

IL appears that in some sort OF civic
demonstration i'm ST. Louis the other day
perhaps the celebration of the founding
Ot Chicago. or something of that sort
two immense floats, representing respec-
lively the Monitor and Merrimac were IN
the procession. II was an evening parade
and in some way, while passing down
Grand avenue, the unfortunate Monitor
caught fire. A thoughtful citizen turned
in an alarm and the fire department
responded with promptness. II happened
that the captain of the Monitor was a
new man in the navy. having before
been in the merchant service as COM
mander Of a truck, and. hearing the
noise of the engines behind him, he was
impressed with the notion that the whole
Confederate navy was coming down upon
him. lie concluded that the time for
flight had come, so hitting the mules a
crack with his whip he Went tearing away
at the rate Of some twenty knots an hour,
with his craft blazing fierceiy The as
tOnished hremen at nrst paused, but soon
saw where duty lay. cracked their whips
and tore away after the FIRE. Interested
citiZans followed on foot and small boys
brought up the rear.
How long this thing was kept up we
are not told, but we are assured that
Hampton Roads on the last days fight
ing was quiet place compared Win
Grand avenue. Ii was evidently the
object of the crafty Monitor commander
either to get out 70 sea or 70 run in
under the guns Of some friendly fort.
But the St. Louis fire department, though
accustomed to lying in wait and springing
upon its victims with a single bound,
showed that 1t could course a fire when
necessary. II was used TO old-fashioned
| fires, but II a fire was skittsh and got
up and ran the department was willing
TO do what IL could 10 catch IT and hold
it still while 1t put it out. SO while the
Monitor stood out TO sea, carrying every
| possible pound Of mule, the engines and
| hose-carts followed close in her wake
Finally the ili-star-ed craft being burned
10 the waters edge. the fire went out and
| the hulk drifted down side street with
| the noble commander clinging 10 a
| floating mule. Fhe fire department re-
turned to headQuarters.-Harp Week

UNITED STATES SENATOR'S.

The Legislature will soon meet, and
amongst its earliest acts Will be the cleo
ton Of United States senators.
These should be the individuals whom
the people Of Virginia, and not the rings

therefore. hold public meetings at the
