For nearly threequarters of an hour it was slowly burning between the roof and the ceiling on tho north side of the house. Water was thrown on the roof on the north side, but wa3 of no avail. Wet blaukets had been put on the roof to smother the lire. Some men had cut the gable ready for the water to be thrown in the hole and reach the fire, but there seemed to be difference of opinion and this plan was not carried out. The flames made great headway ana were soon woo.jy oeyona comroi, and the house was burned to the ground. Practically all of the furniture was saved, but among the losses was a very handsome diamond ring belonging ;o Mrs. Williford. The house was insured fur ?2,500.

L;i-lies' Home Journal presents an iuliuiic var'u ly oftliikingly interesting, timely and practical features. It opens with an article by William George Jordan on "What Victoria has Seen,'' which graphically recounts the progress oi Ihe world in the past sixty year?, since the coronation of the English Sovereign. Coming on the eve of the Qacen's Jubilee it ;s especially timely. The establishment of Methodism in America is told in an interesting article, by Rev. W. J. Scott, 0. D , on "When John Wesley Preached in (Georgia." It narrates Wesley's gre-t work, his forceful preaching, describes the first Methodist sermon in America, which was delivered by Wesley, and bis Sunday school, which was the first in the world. "Unck Sam's Confessional" describes how the money paid iuto the Conscience Fund ot the United Sta'es treasury is received, and how its guilty senders c&refullv avoid tevealing their identity. Edward W. Bok makes an appeal that the poor children of th? cities be given an outing in the country duringn part of ilic summer. He vigorously | enounces "TheOffense 01 ihe Colored j shirt"; also discusses the ''Itch to be i Seen." Lovers of fiction will read wi:h delight E la Higginson's short story, "One o' Them Still, Stubborn) Kind?," and Alice S. Wolf's romance, J {'IIer After-Fame." Charles Dana Gibson's drawing?"The People <-f. Dickens"? most interestingly pictures Mr. and Mrs. Micawber,. David Copperfield and Traddles, and a page of Mr. "Woolf's waifs gives a most touching insight into w? hat summer means to the children of the poor in citie?. A song, "Wake Up! Cupid," by Willard Spenser, author of "The Princess Bonnie," "Tho Little Tycoon," etc., will DC weicomeu oy every lover ui muaiu. DwightL. Moody's contribution to his series of Bible Class articles discusses "Hope" in the Evangelist's characteristic, lucid manner, and "Droch" chats ot "Humor and the Humorists." Along the more practical lines are Mrs. S. T.

Mr. Editor: In your issue of the 25tb inst. there appeared a communication inquiring what was going with the dispensary profits of this place, and tbe writer signing himself "Enquirer." If "Enquirer" would brush tbe scales from his intellect and take a trip to Simpson's Turnout and acquire &j little knowledge of the world and stop patronizing "blind tigers" in open violation of the law, Le would doubt* ?' ^ ~ l??e ATTT?1 AtlAC. less UtJ uuic iv eusnu Uis VT?

But "Enquirer" compares the dispensary with the barroom system aiid shows a- remarkable familiarity with the old bars; but I must remind him that in those days the adulterated stntf that was imposed upon the people then was a round profit of from one to five hundred per cen', and then it was gobbled down KsviU <*?nnf OY.
