Thirty-one Human Beings 'Boasted '\t6 Diat&r « , t. - • "• k from HalifaXj ln STovaBcotla, says that at midnight, while all hands were sleeping, fire broke out in the bake-house, in the basement of the Poor Asylum build­ ing. Exactly how it originated is not very clear, but the smoke of the smouldering wood spread through the building into the dormitories and caused the utmost terror among four or five hundred inmates of the institution. There was no immediate danger, so the officers of the asylum did not take steps to remove the inmates. Ah alarm was eoundel, aud the stroke bell had scarcely commenced when reels were run out of the engine houees, as one or two men happened to be about. A few peo­ ple who had not retired, and others who lived In the neighborhood, ran to the buiid- insr. They iound smoke issu ng from the windows all over the building, hut no flames were to be seen. In the west wing old wom­ en and children were seen at the windows, crying to be let out, and. as they began break­ ing gla«s, it was feared they wouid tia-ow themselves to 1 he ground A sturdy ax man dashed at the door leading from this wing into the yard, and with a few vigorous blows ot bis ax knocked it in The stairways were crowded, and out came a procession of women nursing infants, old, gr»y-headed grandmas, and feeble old men. All were screaming, and as they reached the fresh air without they ejaculated their thanks, and then began calling for this one and that one until all was a babel of confu­ sion. Then it became known that those in the upper wards of that wing were helplesa Some of the liremen and fire wardens and aldermen and clergymen, and others who were among the early ariivals, hastened up, and willing hands were soon getting the blind, halt and lame down the long winding stairs. The work was a very slow one, but finally that wing was emptied. In the meantime tho if <mes in the base­ ment, which the Superintendent, engineer and officials were trying 1 o keep under, spread to the base of the long air shaft or elevator reaching to the top of the main building. The draught here swept the flames upward with tremendous force, and in a few seconds the heaviest part of the conflagration was in the top of the main building. The story just under the eaves in this building was used as a hospital, and in it were ebout seventy patient-, most of them perfectly helpless The fire was now fiercely burning right in the hospital and above it The heat was so in­ tense that lead poured down irom the roof in streams of brilliant fire, and slates flew everywhere in deadly showers, rendering any near approach to the building almost certain death. Notwithstand ing this, there wert' hundreds standing outside who would willingly have entered the building if they could have found their u aj; through the place. Indeed, several did o in, but without guidance ceuld do nothing in the Immense building, and had to return to the yard An attempt w as made to raise ladders to the windows, but the ladders were too Bhort, and after a fireman was knocked do vn by falling brick, and it was seen that the ladders even wtjuld be swept away in a few minutes, the attempt ceased The fire burst through the roof, and the scene was one never to be forgotten. Far above the roar of the flames and crack of burning slates were heard the cries of the wretched patients n the hospital, who were roasting to dentil Most of them, as before stated, were helpless, and could not leave their beds, and perhaps were stifled before the cruel flames reached them, but others were seen to dash themselves against the windows and cling to the sashes till their strength was exhausted or their hands burned off, and they fell back into the seeth­ ing caldron of flames. A woman was seen to drag herself tb the corner window, and, forcing her body half out th ough the iron bars (ill she could breathe cool air, she re­ mained in that position till her head burned off. .. As far M Oj4a he jwmtalaaJ thirtatini* persons were burned to death--eightlnen" and twenty t^ree women. The building was constructed in 186S. It oost 988,000, and was insured for 950,000.

The Pleasures of Hanging. When holding on inquest many years ago on an old Chelsea pensioner who had hanged himself, the la' e Mr. Wak- ley, founder of the Lancet and long Coroner for Middlesex, said it was ex­ traordinary how pleasing the effects of hanging were. This was apparent from the fact that the majority of those who hanged themselves were found either in a sitting posture or with feet or knees touching the ground. A short time since he/had held ftn inquest on a man who hanged himself with too slender a cord. It broke, and he survived the attempt thirty-five hours. He said he I" had enjoyed most pleasing sensations while suspended." Persons who com­ mitted suicide by hauging went off as if in a 4ied without pain. , He did not speak of malefactors, but of i'hose who hanged themselves without jerking their bodies. In the latter case the neck was not broken, nor was the windpipe closed, but a congestion of the brain ensued which caused death. In view of the cruel bungling which has of late years so constantly occurred at executions here, it seems a pity that murderers cannot become their own pleasant executioners. It must be add­ ed, however, that a contemporary jour­ nal had the audacity to suggest that, in painting the delights of hanging in such roseate hues, Mr. Wakley had an eye to the increase of suicides and •Coroner# fees. The Origin or William Penn'a Amert' can Scheme. When the Dutch province in America came by conquest into possession of the English crown, the King had gracious­ ly made a present of the whole of that vast tract of new-settled country to his brother, his Royal Highness the Duke of York. His Royal Highness had in turn granted that portion of his terri­ tory now comprising the State of New .Jersey to his humble servants Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. At tliat time (about 1665) the northeastern part of this province had begun to be sparsely settled here and there. Eliza- bethtown had grown to four houees, and was the capital of the province. Mid- dletown, too, had been planted and Shrewsbury. But all the western part, lying upon the Delaware River and I>av, was still untouched, saving by a few scattered Swedish and Finnish set­ tlers. o ' Toward this tract Of country, com- partively near the ocean coast upon one side, and washed by a broad river and bay upon the other, the attention of certain Quakers began to be directed. John Fen wick and Edward Byllinges, the former of Buckinghamshire, the latter a London merchant, both promi­ nent members of the Society, purchased of Lord Berkeley all his rights and in- interests in the Jerseys for the sum of one thousand pounds sterling. The province was then divided by agree­ ment with Sir George Carteret into East and West Jersey, called collective­ ly in the olden times "The Jerseys." This was accomplished by a line drawn from Little Egg Harbor to a point on the Delaware river in the 41st degree of north latitude. v But in the meantime the settlement of this territory with a regular pro­ vincial government came practically to naught; Fenwick seems to have been of a litmious, disputatious, disposition; bickerings and back-talk ensued be­ tween the two proprietaries. Unable, because of the rules of their sects, to have the matter settled by law, the Difficulty reached such a stage that it became necessary to call for arbitration to arrange the matter between them: After casting aboyt for some one to whom to appeal, William Penn was se­ lected to finally adjudge the matter. And so his attention first became at­ tracted to the New World, and his in­ terest awakened in it. The matter was satisfactorily adjusted, but West Jersey was destined never to become a propri­ etary--or rather a bi-proprietarv;--gov­ ernment. Both Byllinges and Fen­ wick became involved in financial diffi­ culties, anci their estates passed into the hands of trustees, one of whom was William Penn. In this position he be- can^e still more interested in the coun­ try ; he devoted his attention wholly to the settlement and improvement of this part? of the Jerseys, add, as Ms letters afterwOTd showed, he thereby made himself well acquainted with the re­ sources of that which was to him here­ tofore an almost unknown world. He saw at a glance the vast possibilities it held forth to such as would undertake the development of them, and finally determined to found a province there himself, not in the loose, unsystematic way in which West Jersey was being peopled, but endowed with a good in­ ternal government for its foundation and support. It is thus that great events move up­ on little things, as a heavy door does upon little hinges. If John Fenwick had not been of a disputatious nature, in all likelihood William Penn would never have founded a province.--How- curd Pyle in Harper's Magazine. Bless His Heart. In a very elegant palace car entered a weary^faced, poorlv-dressed woman with three little chiKlren--one a babe in her arms. A look of joy crept into her face as she settled down into one of the luxurious chairs, but it was quickly dispelled as she was asked rudely to "start her boot." A smile of amusement was seen on several faces as the frightened group hurried out to enter one of the common cars. Upon one young face, however, there was a look which shamed the countenance of the others. "Auntie," said the boy to the lady be­ side him, "I am going to carry my basket of fruit and this box of sand­ wiches to the poor woman in the next car. You are willing, of course?" He spoke eagerly, but she answered: "Don't be foolish, dear, you may need them yourself, and perhaps the woman is an im poster "No. I'll not need them," he answered decidedly, but in a very low tone. "You know I had a hearty breakfast, and don't need a' lunch. The woman looked hungry, auntie, and so tired, too,, with those three little bailies clinging to her. I'll be back in a minute, auntie; I know mother wouldn't like it if I didn't speak a kind word to the least of these when I meet them." The worldly aunt brushed a tear from her eye after the boy left her, and aaid audibly: "Just like his dear mother." About five miuutes later, as rlie lady passed the mother and the three child­ ren, she saw a pretty sight--the family feasting as perhaps they had never done before; the dainty sandwiches were eagerly eaten, the fruit, basket stood open. This eldest child, with her mouth filled with bread and butter, said, "Was the pretty boy an angel, mamma V" "!#W' answered the motho., and a grateful look brightened her faded eyes, "but he is doing angels' work, bless his dear hearth "And we, too, said, 'Bless his dear heart !'

In the mountains of Tyrol it is the custom of ijhe women and children to come out when it is bed-time, sing their national songs until they hear their husbands, fathers and brothers answer them from the hill on their returli home. On the shores of the Adriatic such a custom prevails. There the wives of the fishermen come down about sunset, and, singing the first stanza, they will listen awhile for an answeaing melody from off the water, and continue to sing and listen till the well-known voioe comes borne on the waters telling that the loved one is almost home. How sweet to the weary fisherman, as the shadows gather around him, must be the songs of the loved ones at home, ' that sing to cheer him; and how they strengthen and tighten the links that , bind tlipse humble dwellers by the sea.
