One man was killed by jumping and two smothered on the stairs. The factory girls escaped with the greatest difiiculty. It is believed that all are safe. The loss will be over $100,000. After the fire commenced, the foreman of the cigar-box factory. James Carr. ot thirty-seven employees together and ed them to the fire-proof stairs and safely to the ground. Being in doubt whether any were left behind, Carr returned to the fifth “cry. The flames out 03 his escape. He hurried to the roof, and a rope was throwu him from an adjoining building. While descending, the rope broke or was burned. He fell through the tarpaulin. which was held below. and broke his neck. Another thrilling scene, meanwhile, took place at the fire escape from the chewing gum factory. Eighteen girls. panic-stricken, came down pell-mell, and when within twenty-five feet of the ground the last eight jumped to the pavement. falling in a con- fused heap. Three were painfully cut and bruised. Lunaâ€"Carr. whose neck was not broken, as at first supposed, revived on his way to the hospital, but died this after- noon. No other loss of life is reported. The loss by fire will be 8125.000. There isumo're evidence to come, but whet has been produced already agrees almost comyletely. ___ vâ€"rv-Oâ€" laid. “ Well. I guess we are men enough to make them." The men were then ordered aft. and the captain came down to them. They told him they were not able to go down to work. and that they had had no food since the (previous day. The steward was called. an he said that they had been given their soup and meat that day. but that they had eaten all their bread the night belore. I was then ordered to put them in irons. Not a man refused. and I went to my room and got the irons and the leoond mate and boatsman to help me. They were ironed. The irons were a pair or handcuffs.

Suddenly she imagined she heard words repeated: “-Arise. thy faith hath made thee whole." . Ufi'ering up one more fervent prayer. she found that the power of motion had returned to her. and the conviction came to her that God had indeed answered her prayer. Getting up, she felt as strong as on the day she was married. Hastily dressing. she opened the door into the adjoining room. where she appeared tefore her husband and friends as though risen from the grave. “Fear not." she said. “ God has re- stored me to life." The whole company knelt dowu and thanked God for what had occurred. That afternoon she walked half a mile to church for the purpose of praying, at the end of which she was not in the least fatigued. The incident excited the whole county and hundreds have been calling on her, all of whom she assures that her cure has come from God. l I h l Ana Venn ol salon-l n We...

Just as the boat got through the rapids, Captaine, while standing up in the boat trying, it is supposed, to change seats with a companion, tell overboard and was swept away. He was a lusty swimmer, and made strong but fruitless efforts to reach the shore. Life buoys were thrown to him, but none came Within his reach.

Professor of the Columbia Theological Seminary. with the avowed purpose of tortiiying young minis- ters in scientific knowledge, set forth the theory of evolution expressing his own belief in it in a modified form. and declar. ing it not inconsistent with scriptural teaching. The discussion was warm and spirited, most of the leading divines cf the Synod participating. A resolution was finally adopted by a vote of 50 to 45 declaring that in the judgment of the Synod the teaching of evolution in the theological seminary at Columbia. except in a purely expository manner with no intention of inculcating its truth, is disapproved.

English was spoken by parents and children all day long, and French, German and Russian when required. In the morning we read, wrote and took horse exercise, and in the evening ,1, were enlivened with classical music, after 1,; which it was but a step out of the drawing- room doors on to the spacious terrace to look in the gleaming over one of those vast Russian plains, which can hardly be called beautiful, but which are striking to an Englishmanby reason of their vastness and unlikeness to anything he sees at home. ' The mansion was built on a hill at the foot of which a river meandered, containing 18 trout and perch; and intervening were .8 terraced lawns and grounds, covered in if their seasons with homely buttercups and rt daisies, as well as forget-me-nots, wild roses and lilies of the valley. The grounds were planted, not, indeed, with couifersâ€" ‘ - for there are none on the estateâ€"but with a tall poplars and sturdy oaks up to two feet 1 in diameter, clusters of pliant willows and graceful birch. together with lime, beech l and elm. These trees are a refuge for the I cuckoo, thrush and nightingale, while a l little further 03 in the forests are to be I found, among birds, rocks and crows. i ravens, hawks and eagles, and among 1 animals, hares, foxes and wolves. But it , was not the mansion that interested me so ' much as its surroundings. The estate ‘ consisted of about 25,000 acres, of which one-fifth is forest and one-twentieth pas- ture, the soil varying between good black earth, loam, sand, loam and sand with clay beneath, and in some parts of all clay. It furnishes no building stone, but plenty of alabaster, which remains. however. unworked. Growing wild were to be found horseradish, raspberries, strawberries, black currents and fruit called rebina; while on the cultivated lands wheat was said to thrive, but not barley. and buckwheat, rye, oats, peas. flax and hemp. Beans, too, are grown in gardens, and tobacco. I inquired, of course. the cost of this produce, and found that on the spot, for the pood of 36 English pounds, wheat and buckwheat sold for 29.; rye, ls. 8d.; oats. le.4d.; potatoes, 7d. a bushel, and hay from 21. to 4d. the pood, this last being of tolerable quality, but not compar- able to English fodder. Ordinary land yields from 25 to 35 poods of hay an acre. and the better sort from 50 to 75 ponds. with, sometimes, a second crop. The estate was inhabited by about 1,000 fami- lies, living in wooden, thatched houses, usually of two rooms only, built often of willow, of which a log 30 feet long and 10 inches in diameter cost a couple of shil- . lings, the outer bark of the tree being used for roofing and the inner bark for_ matting and nu"... mu- an..-” â€"-wâ€"nu' me in contact with diverse races along the high roads. but I was anxious to see what the peasant was like. not when shouting " Long life to the Czar " under the Wullrt of the Kremlin. but when buried at home. out of reach ofsteamor and railway Wlli‘llv. and miles away from a post read, a tele~ graph station or a post-(flies.

One might have .anoied it a Kenlish mansion, nrchased for £50,000, and set down in t e middle of altussian estate. The interior of the house Was somewhat more adapted to Muscovite ideas in that the rooms opened one into the other. and the sleeping apartments of the family could be out off from the rest. The mate- rials for the house had been obtained for the most part on the spot. The bricks were burnt on the estate. and the hand- some carving and waiuscotiag of the hall were of indigenous timber.

The last I saw of this modest, courtly. brave gentleman was at Aleppo. I had been in the city a day or two when he sent his servant, saying that he had just heard that I was in town, and would call on me in an hour or two. He felt very badly that I had not come directly to the consulate, and then urged me to make the consulate my home. He said he was sorry on his own account that I had not come directly to his kuonag,as he would have been glad to have presented me to an English party who had just come from the desert. and was en route to England. I was sorry, too, not to have met them, for I had heard of this English- man who yearly visited the desert, making his home with its most powerful chief. He is his blood brother. A few years ago this gentleman, with an escort, visited the desert, and there met this chief. The gen- tleman drew blood from his arm. and the chief drew blood from his, which ceremony made them blood brothers. That English- man is as safe there as in the streets of Springfield.
