A Wicked City.

Meridian star.
History points to few more wick
ed cities on earth than that of ST.
Pierre which was destroyed by fire
and molten lava on the Sth of this
month, together with nearly every
living soul there. Fort de France
which suffered also, is regarded as
city stepped in moral degrade
ton, but it was-in St. Pierre where
regard for decency is said to have
become extinct during the last tif-
ty years.
The population was composed
of an easy going class of people.
The chief industry of the island
was rum making and all the sugar
extracted from the thousands of
acres of cane was converted into
the product which finds such favor
in all Latin countries. On rum
the people lived and waxed pros
porous, working some. sleeping
more and caring little for the in
tellectual or spiritual side of life.
The evenings were given over to
the most debasipg pleasures. 1t
was not until the sun began to set
behind the mountain which was to
lie the executioner of all, that the
populace walked up from their day
sleep and began to dress for the
night. The quays and all streets
by 10 o'clock were filled with men
hunting for fair charmers who
might listen to their stories of un-
holy love. The women dressed in
fashion not admitted in the bes,
society Of the stricter world; and
withal, there was hardly place on
earth which appealed more to the
baser qualities of life or had less
use for the nobler side than ST.
Pierre, the city that in one short
half hour was wiped from the earth
with all in it.
Students of the Bible profess to
see in this awful occurrence the
visitation of the Almighty. They
pronounce the sentence against ii
the same as suffered by Sodom
and Gomorrah, tho se ancient cities
Of wickedness as told of in the
chronicles Of Gods early NANTES
tations Be that as it may, wheth
er sent direct from the Throne of
the Almighty or was one of those
convulsive upheavals prepared by
nature during her thousands OF
years of work, no man will ever
know. The religious enthusiast
and the scientists will differ, and
St. Pierre will be wiped off the
map of the world.
