Forest Fires in New Jersey Causing
Great

Egg Harbor City, n. j., July IS
There is no end yet to the forest fires
that have been raging in this vicinity for
the rsst week. To-day an entire village
Was wiped out. The flames that had been
sp coping toward Bridgeport vert turned
aside by the wind last night, and during
the early hours of the morning they
reached a point near the hamlet of
Greenbush. The residents in the mean
time had driven their livestock to a
pli &c of safety, and when it became ap-
parent that the village was doomed they
loaded their household effects in wagons
and hurried them away. Much still re-
mair ed to be moved when the flames
reached the houses. >, The village stood
in a little clearing in the pine belt, and
the stacks of hay and the dry wooden
buildings proved even better food for the
elements than the woods around. The
villagers had been forced to flee long be-
fore this, and are now encamped in a
clearing some miles away. In addition
to the destruction Of this village many
residences and barns have been destroyed

There is a tendency to 4 return to
Lord Byron. It is no longer consider
ed improper for young women to say
in society that they have read Lord
Byron and that they like the reading.
In England, which has only itself to
blame for the keen cuts which the
hardy scion Of Newsead gave it, there
is a revival of him who wrote as no
man before him wrote; as none since
has written.
John Cordy Jeaffreson, in his impair
tial book, 1.-The Real Lord Byron
opens his pages with this sentence:
In great things and small things it
was Byron's lot to be misunderstood
during his life and misrepresented af-

SUNLOCKS DODGE.
Little Sunlocks Dodge died when she
aNaS eight years old.

Little Sunlocks Dodge died when she
eva eight years old.
This story about her is n which,
I think, will please the children. When
i first heard it I said to myself, it
sounds like a fable. But then I heard
1t from the lips Of one who is now in
heaven, and she believed it. And I
remember that once, a long, long time
after she was no more, it fell to me
that I visited the little town where
Little Sunlocks Dodge had lived and
where she died, and n afternoon 1
stood by q little grave that was Gov
cred with flowers so deep that if T
had stepped into them they would
have come up to my shoe tops.
Who were the father and mother of
Little Sunlocks Dodge? Now, almost
every child would say that is a funny
question" And yet that was q ques-
ton that people in the village used to
ask n another, although they never
asked the kind old man and his little
wife, who was always busy AMI was
always neat and as natty as any white
winged yacht you ver saw. No n
ever asked Little Sunlocks who her
father and mother were. She would
have said, if she had been asked, that
the old people with whom she lived
were, for she did not know differently.
The kind old man was known as
James Dodge. He was a cooper and
his shop was in the basement of his
house, and there you could find him
from early in the morning till sunset,
among the barrels and slaves and shay
ings- He had once been captain of a
steamboat on the Ohio river. An Attic
ton came upon him-his eyesight was
Impaired, and he quit the river and
opened this cooper shop in the town
where Little Sunlocks died. The house
stood on a bluff overlooking the Mis-
sSOuri river.
He was a very good man. He was
faithful in all the requirements. He
always went to church alone. His pew
was near the altar and it was under
stood that when the church was crowd
ed MI. DOdge's pew was to be used in
seating strangers. Aside from his at
tendance on Sundays and the Wedues-
day evening prayer meetings, Mr..
Dodge was not q conspicuous member.
He prayed in such a low tone that
sometimes people who were present
would have to watch him to see when
he said amen. He went and came in
the quietest way. His wife was never
heard to question her husbands sin
-cerity. When she was asked about
her religious opinions she gave a salts
p factory answer and the subject was
dropped. I think she was a good little
wOman from all I ever heard. You
know, perhaps, that, some people who
do not go to church are good. But that
