Here are five Thespians, we'll known &c

States and England, its righteousness, its
possible outcome and their probable action

S1e Used Him as a Shield.

An aged negress, weighing nearly POO
pounds a small white man, and a Texas
steer created considerable fun and a lit
tie excitement yesterday afternoon at the
stock yards.
The negress. with a red nubia over her
head, was ambllng slowly toward the
bank building. when suddenly some per
son raised a cry that a wild steer was
loose.
A moment later a big-horned fellow,
with crowd of horsemen after him.
plunged west on the thOroughfare toward
Halsted street.
All who could made a plunge for the
high fence. but the negress could not
climb, and the steer seemed 10 have her
in his mind, as he was cavorting toward
her.
TO climb the fence was for her ply
steal impossiblity, while the chances OF
being thrown over il were good.
Just then a little man ran down the
sidewalk. As he reached the colOred wO-
man she seized him by the shoulder and
turned his face toward the steer
The big animal halted and looked at
the pair. AS the steer turned, so did
kicked 10 get free. Just what made the
steer take water no person knows. but
after looking for n moment he walked
away and was soon after driven into a
pen.
once sure she was free from danger the
colored woman released her hold on the
little man and walked away. As she
climbed on the walk in front of tine bank
she said to the crowd. Tell you what

die first."-Chicago Daily Tribune.

A. By Fire.

The Grace-Street Baptist church (Dr.
William r.. Hatcher, of this city, Is in
ashes. Ii was a noble pile, dedicated TO
the worship of God. IL had been finished
only a short time and was without an
equal among the many similar edl
fees of that denomination I'm Richmond.
Ii adorned Nirginia's capital. IL was a
bulwaTk of the sacramental host. sue
cessful series of revival meetings were IN
progress. Why should it shrink TO en-
ders?
II caught afire on the first floor, per-
haps I'm the furnace-room, about 2 O'Clock
on Tuesday afternoon. In a single hour
il was a wreck After the main building
was in ruins. the spire kindled, burned
like a giant candle. and fell upon the
mass OF tumbed-dOwn walls.
The pastor, the most honored man in
his Church in Virginia, and deservedly so,
and the membership OF cody men and wo-
men, full OF zeal and good works, have
the sympathy of all who name the name
OF our common Lord and Master among
us. IL could not be otherwise, for these
Baptist Christians have given full proof
OF their genuine piety and concern for the
good cause, which has received a heavy
blow by the destruction Of this sacred
structure.
IL has been stated I'm the daily papers
that this is the first church ever burned
i'm Richmond. That is an error. The
Methodist church (Trinity) first built
near the Exchange, on Franklin. street
was destroyed by fire i'm 1888. and rebuilt

was evacuated I'm 1860 the Presbyterian

great calamity has overtaken Dr.
Hatcher and his Grace-Street church
in the destruction by fire of their beau
tiful house Of worship. Just as we are
going 10 press. Tuesday afternoon, ii is
crumblng into ruins. 1t is unspeakably
sorrowful that. after the struggles and
sacrifices which this heroic band and
their gallant pastor have made to Sc
cure this building, II should be swept
away in a few hours. They win have
the deepest and sincerest sympathy, not
only Of their UNCONVENTIONAL brethren, but
of this entire city and State. and Of many
far beyond. We learn that there was
some insurance on the property, but far
from enough TO put them i'm any position
TO rebuild on the same scale. without a
new series OF struggles and sacrifices. OF
course, nothing can now be said concern
ing the probable policy of the church in
this respect. but whatever they under
take ought 10 receive and will. We are
sure receive the cordial support Of thou
sands OF the good people beyond their
communion who APPRECIATE self-sacfi-
flee. and honor genuine Christian devO-
ton. We earnestly pray that the com
forting and sustaining blessing of the
Heavenly Father may rest upon them
in their great loss and grief.-Relgious

Burglars in the Governors House.

Burglars held reception at Gov. Mat

had been left at the foot OF the stairs
and Sl5 was missing from his pocket
book. His vest had been carefully lifted
from the bedpost and a gold watch. with
the Indiana executives monogram, was

the family found the cards OF William

by two plates. where the robbers had sat
and enjoyed night supper of cake and

note which read:

Lullaby.

The bee that stings and buzZes and sings
has gone TO rest in his honied nest,
In his quiet nest his wings TO rest;
And he sleeps and sleeps
In honey heaps.
He'll sleep TIL the sun does rise.
So darling baby close your eyes
And sleep.
The bird that sings and flies with wings
Is sleeping now on the old oak bougn,
On the old oak bough he's resting now
And he'll rest and rest
Until it's best
To wake when the sun does rise
So, darling baby. close your eyes
And sleep.
While your mother sings. Sleep-Fairy
brings
A peaceful rest on mothers breast.
In your Graded nest you'll sweetly rest:
And you'll wake and wake
When fairies take
Their leave and the sun does rise.
SO, darling baby, close your eyes
And sleep.
