A WORD TO THE WISE.

Some folks" said Josh Wise be-
tween puffs at his corncob, is foolish
'nough TO kick a feler when they
think he's down. The foolishness
comes out when the feller gifts up ag' in,
like he ginerally duz, but sometimes
a feller is kicked that only seems 10 be
down an the kicker gifts a black eye
in return-which goes TO show that
this here kickin' business doesn't pay
big dividends" "

A remarkable case in which Daniel
O'Connell appeared was one in which
a man was charged with murder. The
evidence went all against the prisoner.
When the time came for the defense
TO be made it was announced, 1.-The
murdered man viii now be called"
The supposed victim went into the box
and satisfied the court as to his ident-
ty and existence in flesh. The Judge
directed the jury to return a formal
verdict Of not guilty, but the good men
and true insisted on retiring and did
so. Presently returning. they fouEd
the prisoner guilty. Heavens, gentle
men," said the judge, of what is he
guilty? Not murder. surelyT mo

he didn't murder the man he stole my

Galleries We're seen gathered in crowds
below, stretching out their arms and
calling on those within 10 leap into
them for safety. Some did so from the
first and some even from the second
story, and a number escaped in this
way, while a few were either killed or
shoclSingly mangled by the fall.
"Those in the meantime who had
succeeded so far as TO clear the Hobbies
found themselves again stopped and
straitened in the narrow angular stairs
that ran from the landing of the boxes
into the common entry or pent up in
the small passage at the bottom, where
the only door which opened inward had
been shut TO by the rushing crowd and
could not be forced back for some
time even by the help of hands from
without. Here, then, some were crush
ed TO death by others who even less
happy, escaped at last over their dead
bodies through the door now opened,
but horribly scorched or burned and
only to die In the arms of their shud-
dering friends.
''Ry this time, although only six or
seven minutes had passed, the whole
house was in a blaze that frightened
/ the windows of the houses far and near
with its dismal light The bells were
tolling with most appalling sound, and
hundreds of citizens, reused from their
beds and alarmed for the safety Of
their relatives and friends, were rush
ing to the scene, but TOO late to save
or find them. The rest may be mag
ined, but cannot and perhaps ought not
TO be described. There was no sleep in
Richmond that night, but the voice Of
weeping was heard from many dwell
ings.
THE day after this awful occurrence
the common council Of the city con-
vened and passed a resolution prohibit
ing all public amusements within the
limits for four months ensuing, and a
meeting Of citizens was held in the cap
itol, at which it was resolved that the
remains of the dead should be collected
and buried together on the spot where
they had expired, and that monument
should be raised over them 70 record
the remembrance of their fate. And Il
was also determined that a day should
be set apart for fasting, humiliation
and prayer in commemoration Of an
event in which all who had any sense
Of piety could not but see and acknowl
edge that the hand Of God had been
most strizingly and affectingly display

operating under a patent, and things
were just beginning 90 come our way
when we got word from our statesmen
that goods similar to ours were being
placed upon the market at a figure
which we could not meet.
Il got samples of the goods and the
