FIRE DEpARrMENr NEEDS.

II fire had broken out in the far western
or eastern section of the city last night
while the conflagration was raging on
Louisiana avenue, no engine, hose-car-
riage or ladder-truck would have been
available, as all were engaged in fight
ing the big blaze. No stronger, more con-
vincing argument in favor of o material
increase of the fire department can he
brought forward than this simple fact that
at present one considerable fire exhausts
all its resources. For city covering an
area of more than seventy square miles,
containing a population OF nearly 3Oo,cCo.
and property exceeding hundred million
dollars in value, nine steam engines have
to do duty 1t is a condition that ought
to shame those responsible for it,
Congress has been importuned at every
session to make more liberal appropriations
for tue Washington fire department. but
whatever has been given has fallen far
short of the real necessities. and has be-
tokened a nigga rdiy spirit. The city's reve.
nncs are amply sufficient for all purposes.
and it would be far better to apply them to
such uses as to turn a surplus into the Treas
ury at tie end of every fiscal year. what
is needed here is not less than three and
perhaps five more steam engines, TO be
located centrally, SO that no portion OF the
city shall be deprived of all protection in
case large force of engines is needed at
any one point.
The District appropriation bill is still
pending 1t makes provision for some ad-
ditional apparatus, but not enough by any
means Nothing better could be done than
enlarge the appropriation sufficiently To
give US at least three more steamers.

The latest fad is to have your best girls

He can now discern her image,
Aud it isn't any Joke,
Nor a figment OF the fancy
Outlined there amid the smoke
He can see her color changing
To a deeper dye, ween,
A nj the pigment tears the impress
OF My Lady Nicotine"
Doubtless too. her face with comfort,
He will learn, forsooth, to link;
Aud that she provides his pleasure,
Gradually he'll grow to think.
Who can say what subtle motive
Some lone female may have hadf
Does a pipe not call for matches?
Did a woman start the fad?

All our sympathies provoke,
If their cherished aspirations
Disappear in fragrant smoke.

ON Wizards list Of guests is the name
~ of Major Samuel Magrue of Nash
vile. Tenn. He is one of the lead
ing business men, of the New South and an
enthusiast over the vast and wealthy re-
gion that he says is approachin the mos t
rapid growth ever recorded in history.
Il am sorry to see that the proposed
Chica go and Southern States exposition that
was to be held in the former city gives
promise of failure" sad be. 1T would
nave, of course, been a great advertising
scheme for the Windy City. but it would
nave been equally beneficial to The South.
THE project was an outgrowth of Chi
cago Day at the Atlanta exposition. when
thousands of Chica goans invaded the South
arn city and declared that they must enter
into alliance with the people. The reason
that the exposition is going to prove a
failure is because the South has not come
forward to help, as 1t was expected.
Mississippi has already confessed its in
ability 10 take part, and Louisiana and Ala
5ama may be expected TO do likewise.
With few States doing that, the scheme
must, of course, be abandoned. Chicago
will doubtless work hard for its sue
cess, but IL will avail nothing"
