The reporter from whose account Of
a fire the following is quoted must
himself, says the representative Of q
rival journal, have been in great dan
ger of being consumed by the fire OF
his own eloquence:
'The water seemed to spur the fire to
wilder deeds. The flames and the
smoke rolled higher and higher, and
the scene became luridly, awfully mag
nificent, beyond tottering words power
to paint. 1t was canto Of Dante's
Inferno acted in all itsS fiery pomp
and splendor. Banners of flame would
now be waved out by dark smoke
bands, then ten million curling little
pennons of the fire would hiss and
flutter, then vanish, and great Keeling
tower of smoke, whose darkness was
stabbed and spangled with flames and
sparks, would fill the buildings, grimly
shoot back from reflected surfaces a
crimson greeting, and up in the far
off sky the outglistened stars turned
pale for shame and the moon through
the drifted smoke glowed like bowl
of blood"
