A Thrilling Experience.

PARIS, Aug. 24.-Great forest fires
are raging in the southwestern part OF
France between Bordeaux and the
Spanish frontier. An excursion train
that was returning from San Sebastian
to Bordeaux Monday night had mar.
row escape from destruction. The
train passed the station at La Boukeyre
at midnight. The night was cloudy,
and the air was hot and oppressive, 40
much so that the passengers questioned
whether it was due TO natural condi-
tions. Suddenly, as the train rounded
bend in the line, there was revealed
magnificent but appalling sight. The
forest on both sides of the track was Oh
fire, and the flames were rushing upon
the train like tidal wave. The eogi.
neer stopped and reversed his engine
lust in time to save the lives Of all the
pa. sengers. III backed to safe dis
lance, but did not get 10 a place OF
lfety until the rising wind had blown
sparks aud burning twigs all around
the tain When the train finally ven
tured to start again il was not long be-
fore it was again amid e furious fire.
The carriages became so hot that the
woodwork cracked, and the passengers
vera almost sufiocated by the tempest
of fire outside the windows. 1t was
fully as dangerous now to retreat as to
90 on, so the engineer and his stoker
drove ahead under full steam. The
passengers were in paroxysms Of panic
Some of them tainted through fright,
while others yelled at the top of their
voices. The sleepers under the rails
were burning and the roofs of the car
riages were cracking. The train dash.
ed along at tremendous rate Of speed
and was soon out Of danger. Then the
passengers became hysterical and
laughed and cried, but were soon
Gained. There are other fires burn
ing in the same district, the area al
fected covering thirty miles. Some
deaths have been reported. Many
farmhouses have been destroyed. The
fires originated from lightning. The
atmosphere for many days has been
supercharged with electricity.

Supposed Ocean Disaster.

NEW YORK, Aug. "a What may be
the wreckage of a large passenger
stenmer was passed off Sandy Hook
yesterday morning by the British
fright steamer Algos, which arrived
yesterday afternoon. The wreckaee
was about forty miles cast of Sandy
Hook and about ten miles due east of
the Fire Island lightship. 1t was of
such nature as to indicate that pas
sengar steamer had gone down recent
ly in the neighborhood. This wreck
age consists oftrunks, bedding, mattress
ses, cabin fitting, steamer chairs, cat
tie fittings and furniture and splintered
woodwork. It's appearance was such
as to indicate that it had only been q
short time in the water. Much appre-
hension is felt among those having
friends on either east or west bound
steamers.

A USELESS EXPENDITURE.

Will some one kindly explain why the
State Board of Instruction, which is supposed
to be reform board, have taken this psrticu-
lar time, when dollars are 80 scarce that few
people get all the netc:saries OF life to dc
cree that the people of the State of Virginia
shall pay cool half million dollars extra to
thu publishers of school books i'll order to be
able to send their children to school? This
change in school books will entail an average
expense Of not less than two dollars per
scholar, over and above what it would have
cost had the old books been used, with no ap-
parent advantage TO any one save the pub
fishers. Would it not be we'll for the people
to take some concerted action toward pre-
venting this outrage before it is too late or
shall we sit calmly down and submit to being
robbed of 100000 in order TO increase The
wealth of few publishers?

whom fought at FL Caney and San

As liberty is already verging upon

It's other dongs. are transparent hum
bugs, and are regarded as such, not only

States, wanting all those islands, took
them by force of arms, and the simplest
shortest, sasiest and cheapest way Of
ruling them. as many of the people
thereof are semi-savages, would be to
do so by the same means by which they
were seized, that is by military power.
The idea of governing by the consent Of

if it were otherwise, no kind of govern
ment could get the consent of the in
surgents in the islands referred to, for

AS anticipated by the few wise men

the United States have given to their
neighbors, the people like themselves
10 Cuba and Porto Rico, are now pc
titioning the British Parliament for an
nexation to this country. The dissatis-
fed people in all the islands, of all the

annexation to this ''sweet land OF lib
erty,n and it, is too humanitarian to &c
ly any of their requests. Instead of
snug and tight country defended by
two oceans, the United States will
soon be loosely joined nation, seps-
rated by thousands Of miles of sea, and
composed of alien races and religions,
whose assimilation is almost impossi-
BILE. The strength of a country cannot
be properly estimated by the extent OF
