floor to a shed and was only slightly

The fire started on the ground floor
and shot up through the upper stories
with lightning-like speed, the broad
stairs and Railways furnishing great
fues which carried the flames upward.
Almost Immediately after the flames
were discovered the alarm was sounded
through the house and the big hotel
was soon the scene Of widest confu-
sion. A few of the guests made their
escape by the stairways, but the smoke
soon cut off this retreat. The next
resort of the imprisoned people was
the windows. As their terror stricken
faces appeared the great crowd below
watched breathlessly, hoping against
hope that all would be saved. The
guests who were thus entrappsd did not
long hesitate to take the risk of jump
ing, though some were rescued from
their perilous positions by the firemen.
Others leaped from the windows, sew
eral being more or less injured.

BOND SALES INCREASING.

That of December.

CHICAGO Feb. New York special to
the Tribune: More than 900 of gov

sold during this month, compared with $685.
1873, COO for the same month last year. This
is the Ei-hest monthly record in history.
There was much investment in the bonds of
the reorganized railroads, such as Union Pa
cific, Atchison, Northern Pacific, St. Louis
& San Francisco. Kansas Pacific consols
and Erie. There was also much speculation
in the bonds, notably in Union Pacific Ger
tificates. This speculation of course, affects
the character of the aggregate bond transac-
tions.
The Commercial Advertiser says: ''When
bankers are asked why bonds are so active
and money at the banks SO cheap, they reply
that money is pouring into New York from
all parts of the country so freely there will
be no better money rate. That there is a
tendency among number of banks to re-
duce rates of interest on deposit is true, but
that there is a general inclination to do so
is not yet apparent. In the meantime it is
expected that bonds for investment will re-
main active"

Crippled and bent and marked with toll.
Grandmot hers hands are busy all day:
They sew on the buttons and patch up the
holes,
They take up the toys and put them
away.
They smooth the pillow for Johnnie's head !:
They find a cure for his every pain:
They cover his Kite and mend his sled,
And they tie the string to his railroad
train.
They find the sweets that make him clad:
They sprinkle with sunshine all of his
cares:
They spank him, too, when Johnnie is bad
Then dry again his bitter tears.
In years 10 come, when Johnnics feet
Tread chcorless paths Of other lands.
Deep In his manly heart he'll bless
Both spanks and gifts OF those dear old
hands.
