A Dream of Homo.
The sun's rays slant the path along
The air is balmy as in June;
The robin sink's his evening song,
And through the sky the new, gray moon
Moves calmly on, untrammeled, free,
But something whispers unto me?
"Not yet 1"
The brook sings as it cently flows,
The frog croaks by the water's rim;
There in content the lily grows.
And there the fishes darting, swim;
I hear and see the old brown mill,
.But, ah ! these sad words haunt me still?
"Not yet!"
In clover meadows broad and fair,
In drowsy mood the cows await
The farm-boy's call upon the air,
While, with his pail, br=ide tho gate
Which opens down the .'rassy lane,
My brother breathes these words of pain?
'* Not yet!"
The steepled church, the schoolhouse near,
The wood where I have roamed at will,
The <iuaint, old farmhouse, to me dear,
My youthful home?my manhood's still?
I see these as in days gone by.
But something whispers (as I sigh)
"Notyet!"
Oh, hearts, in whom tiiere is no May!
Who yearn to hear my footfalls whero
The path, so beaten, takes its way
Under old trees so grand and fair !
Dear hearts who long for me to come,
1 cau but say I can go home
"Notyet!''
For longer, still, your breasts must know
A sadness free from all disguise,
Ere I can leave these scenes and go
And look into fair, loving eyes,
\n<l fl-wi, t Jmrwls so warm, and kiss
The lips I've pressed so oft in bliss?
, " Not yet!"
Forgotten, but as sweet unci strong
As when one dreamful autumn day
I said " good-bye," and passed along
Down the old walk, and went away,
Not thinking there would come a day
When I should have, as now, to say?
"Not jet!"'
Alas, not yet! Far, far from this !
Still must I wait! All I can do
Is just to waft a long, long kiss,
Bedewed with love, Oh, hearts, to you,
And murmur these sad words once more,
Untbought of in the days of yore?
" Not yet!"
?George Ncw'ell Lovejoy.
SIS SACRIFICE.
By the window of the drawing-room
of the corner house in a dingy London
square stood Honor "Wyllie and Archer
Douglas?a tall, dark-complexioned
girl; and j^-slighi, fair young man,
?mnnnvnar auove me miutue ueig/u.
Honor's slender finders were mechanically
untwisting the cords of the
tassel that hung from the heavy curtains;
her large gray eyes were directed
at the little inelosure of smokylooking
trees, upon which the smutladen
rain was falling, but they saw
neither trees nor rain.
" I never for an instant thought of
this," she said, without moving. " Believe
me. never, or I should have been
more careful."
Her companion made no reply; yet
his ligure expressed attention.
"All this time I have been under
the impression that you knew I was
engaged. It has been no secret. I
thought every one knew!"
Still no answer. The young man's
bent head dropped lower on his breast.
"J)o speak to me," she said, pleadingly,
after a pause. " Be angry with
me?anything rather than this silence !
I am so sorry?so ashamed?"
"Angry!" and Douglas checked a
groan that had all but made itself
lieard.
lie approached a step nearer to her,
to look earnestly at her profile, then
started as a drop of water suddenly
fell upon the back of her hand.
"Crying, Honor! There, I will go.
Thank you for?everything. 1 hope
he is worthy your love, Honor.
Heaven Mess you ! May you be very
liappv! Don't shed any tears for me?
I don't want to think I have clouded
your happiness."
"And I am forgiven?" she contrived
to ask in a choked voice.
"Forgiven! For what? For being
too kind and sweet? Yes, I forgive
you that, Miss Wyllie! Good-bye."
He moved slowly and unwillingly to
the door.
She waited till he reached it, then
advanced to the middle of the room.
"You say you are not angry, and
yet?you are going like that."
Douglas stood irresolute. Dare he
trust himself to take the soft hand appealingly
extended? His powers of
r_^ self-control were already drawn upon
to almost their full extent.
Tilt* next instant lie nem nerimim m i
^ a grasp tliat made Iter flinch, drawing
Bpi )iw t.nmivi-^ffn the while to obtain a
better view of her lialf-averted face.
"Honor," lie said, almost fiercely,
v?- "d<5 you know what you made me
' think? That if I had been the first?
if you were free now?"
"Oil, hush!" she cried, shrinking
from him; and wrenching away her
hand, she retreated to the window,
% pale as ashes.
Their eyes met. Then not venturing
to utter another word he hastily
quitted the room.
Honor, trembling like a leaf, her
heart beating wildly, pressed her face
* - Al-? cur*. Kitvt nouo im till*

' square; and when he was out of sight
sank on the floor with her head buried
' in her arms on the settee.
She had nut long been in this position
before a slim, middle-aged lady
! entered, to look round at first without
seeing her. Then, on a second inspection,
becoming aware of the presence
of Honor, she sat down beside her and
laid her hand on the tumbled hair.
" Dear me!" she cried, wrinkling
her smooth brow. "Tut, tut, tut!
Como, come ! Why, pet!"
These sympathetic ejaculations made
the girl move her position, throw one
ram round the waist of the consoler,
and lay her tear-wet face on the caressing
hand.
Miss Mollis?one of the three
maiden aunts of Honor Wyllie?said
A nothing further at the moment. She
contented herself with parting,
* smoothing and toying with her niece's
hair, and waited.
"There." said Honor at last, sittiijj;
up and drying her eves, "auntie, you
won't ]>e angry? n<>, J mean vexed at
. * what I am g<?ing to sav?"
^ "Surely not, love. What is it, eh?"
asked Miss Mellis, in a soft and soothing
tone
" 1 should like to go home at onee?
to-night or to-morrow. Oh ! you will
let me, Aunt Alice? You will not
make objections?"
" Hut why, Honor? What have we
done?"
"Nothing, aunt. l>ut I want to get
away from London. I must go !"
She was so earnest that Miss Mellis
looked startled and troubled.
" What will Aunt Anne and Aunt
Mary say?" she asked. "They have
been making plans for taking you out
next week?a concert, i minx?out
don't let them Know I told you, for it
was to l>e a surprise. And your visit
only half over!"
" [ will talk to them, aunt, and
they will not be offended. I will finish
the visit sometime."
"It is through him, is it not?" and
Miss Mollis gave a little nod at the
window, as though Archer Douglas
were just outside.
Honor's look answered her.
In the meantime Douglas started
back to his chambers in Lincoln's Inn
in so confused a frame of mind that
after being twice nearly run over he
had to take a cab, unconscious even
that the driver thereof winked knowingly
at another driver as he officially
helped him in.
Douglas might, in fact, have been
in the condition the cabman supposed,
so unconscious was he of what
went on around him. Even when he
was once more in his own room,
i gloomy as a dark, wet day in London
- * could make, his thoughts were scarcely
under his own control.
For the next week he fought hard
to drive from his mind this gnawing
regret; but he fought vainly, for the
conviction -that she could have loved,
or ever did actually love him, was too
strong; and his trouble, instead of
growing less, seemed almost to increase.
He determined At last to go away
? for a time and see'wiiat change would
MfTest, And with this decision camo
another. He would make an attempt
to be reconciled to his father with
whom lie had quarreled some sixmonths
since.
"While he was full of hopes and plans
for the future, Honor Wyllie participating
in them all, this division from
the only near relation he possessed
seemed but a trilling thing. Now that
he was again thrown upon himself,
his loneliness seemed to magnify ten.
times the weight of the blow that had
failed upon him.
lie felt rather like a prodigal as the
train whirled him through Kent and
into Sussex; for it was at Hastings

that he had been in the wrong. On
the mere suggestion of a possible stepj
mother lie had spoken with passionate
resentment of such an idea. But why
I not? I lis father was but forty-live.
Why should he be condemned to live
alone possibly twenty or thirty years
longer.
Still pondering over these questions
he reached the end of his journey.
He stood still among the crowd of
people even at this time of year seeking
health or amusement here. Invalids
in bath-chairs were wheeled past
him; children with spades tumbled
over his feet; sailors asked him if he
wanted a boat; but he scarcely saw or
heard. He looked sadly l'ar out over
the wide expanse of sea, tinted in
stripes of gray and blue, as the clouds
and sky alternated above, and glistening
with white streaks that, near at
hand, became the snowy crests of restless
waves.
Looking out thus he felt the desire
' * * ?
to oe aione growing mn> uu.nuv
longing. He .shrank still from the
meeting with his father, who might,
for all he knew, receive him coldly and
keep him at a distance. And so thinking,
lie wandered through the quaint
old town and out upon the rock-strewn
beach.
A short walk brought him to a part
of the shore quite unfrequented. Here,
upon a boulder quaintly striped, where
larger boulders broke the cutting wind,
he sat and watched the breaking waves
and thought.
IIow long he had been there he
could not have told, when his reverie
was brought to an end by the appearance
of two figures between him and
I the sea. Though not ten yards from
where he sat they did not see him
' but stood still in the wintry sunlight
in earnest and apparently agitated
talk.
" Thank you for your frankness,
love," the man was saying, though the
breeze caught the words and carried
them out of reach of Archer's ears.
"But you need not tremble so. Am I
so terribleV"
The girl, whose hand was in his,
tightened her clasp on his strong

shy said.
"Trust you? Yes; hut we will
wait a little. I believe in your earnest
desire to forget all this; but?some
things are beyond our power. Let us
see what a little time will do. Why
?who is this? "What on earth?is it
possible? Archer!"
"Is it possible, father," was the
answer, as the young man came forward,
his pale face almost leaden in
hue.
lie wanted to say some words of
apology?of regret?but none would
come. It was difficult to keep his
eyes from that other mute, startled
figure, with color flushing and fading,
which drew back, as though longing
to get out of sight.
Then this was the man who stood
between him and his love in both figurative
and literal sense?this man
who had seized both his hands in firm
grip?who was looking at him with
ovi.c mi/lilt.nlv liPcmiH' niistv
*" Well, I am glad to see you, boy ! I
thought you would come some day. I
am glad!"
"Are you, father?" Archer might
have himself felt a little moved, if it
had not been for that girlish figure
walking slowly away. " Perhaps I
should have come sooner if I had
guessed I should be so welcome."
"You are looking fearfully ill
though, Archer!" and Mr. Douglas surveyed
him anxiously. " What have
you been doing to yourself V"
"Nothing. Working too hard, possibly;
and I have had one or two
things to worry me lately."
" You must tell me everything honestly,
lad; and I dare say I shall lie
able to help you, whatever those
things are. And now?Don't go,
Honor?now 1 must introduce you.
Archer, this is Miss Wyllie, my future
wife."
Honor had turned back at once. She
extended her hand.. _ _
It was taken in silence.
" \\ a nave met oeiore, sum,
turning her face, suffused with color,
toward Mr. Douglas.
That look was a revelation to the
elder man. Ilis smile vanished, giving
place to a strange, half-stunned
expression.
" Why did you not tell me it was
Archer?" he asked, in a low voice, of
Honor.
"I did not know he was your son,"
she faltered.
"I congratulate you, father," Archer
said, with forced lightness of manner.
And for the present I will leave you,
to finish your tete-a-tete."
He was turning away, but his father
caught him by the arm.
"No," he said, almost harshly, "it
cannot end so! You and Miss W'yllie
have often met before ?"
Archer inclined his head and looked
at Honor, whose face was averted.
"You asked her to be your wife?"
"I did. Is this necessary? "
" T wonf rrn'o

either of you needless pain. * Tell me,
Archer?was her refusal the trouble
you alluded to just now? Have you
other troubles?"
Archer hesitated, ground his boot in
among the pebbles and looked out to
sea. and finally said, slowly :
"I shall answer neither of those
questions. 1 am deeply sorry that I
j came down here. All I can do is to
go again Good-bye. Heaven bless
you both ! Miss Wyllie, you have
made a wise choice. 1 have no doubt
you will he happy."
;Ie raised his hat; then pulling it
lu?v over his brow strode away, without
heeding his father's detaining
voice.
Honor's eyes followed him until lie
was out of sight.
" There is no train just now," said
Mr. Douglas, drawing her hand through
his arm, and walking slowly beside her
in the same direction. " I shall not let
him go. Honor, my dear girl, i need
not ii*>k you if you love him."
" I love you!" she answered, clinging
to him. " You shall not turn me
away. Let us forget all this, and be
as we were before!"
' Do you mean this?"
"I do, Kobert; you believe me, don't
you ?"
lie stopped to look at her, to find her
eyes meet liim with a resolute and
steady gaze. Iler face was paler than
usual, but that was all.
"My dear, 1 do believe you," he said,
with a quiet smile. " And now, 1 will
see you home before?"
lit broke off and changed the subject
with some haste.
As soon as he had seen her to her
door lie hurried to his own home and
wrote two letters. (Jiving up his intention
of preventing his son's departure,
he occupied himself in jireparing
for his own.
The next morning Honor received
one of the two letters. She dropped
over it many secret tears and held
long counsel with her mother upon
what it contained.
******
Toward niirht. two days later, a
tall, well-made m;in came out <?f a
hotel in Dover and took his way toward
the pier, with the inteiftion of
going on board the night steamer for
Calais.
lie had not gone far when there was
the sound of some one running behind,
and directly after he was caught
roughly by the arm. lie swung
round and struck a blow that sent his
fancied iissailant staggering into the
road.
At the same instant the moonlight
shone on the latter'S face and lie gave
an astonished exclamation :
"Archer!"
M'Iho same," sab"! the young man,
approaching him once more. " You
needn't have heen in quite such a
hurry."
' My dear hoy! Have I hurt you?"
"Not much?only made me a hit
giddy. It's m> matter, so lung as 1
have caught you."
" "What does this mean V" Mr. Doug-'
las asked; then, " What brings you,
Archer?"
" You bring me," said his son, almost
fiercely. "That is, your blindness.
(Jo back to her, father. You

which you have hall' broken her
heart. I have seen her. and it is as I
thought."
The elder man was a good deal agitated.
"You are deceiving me!" he said,
huskily.
" Ik'foro Heaven I am not! Go, if
you will; bu*; "on leave her alone, for
I go too. You vould have sacrificed
yourself, I know, father; don't think
1 am ungrateful. 15ut it is no good?
you are acting under a mistake. You
give it up."
"1 Jut you, Archer V"
"I! Oh, I'm right enough!" and
he laughed abruptly. " Pshaw, father !
what do you take me for, that you try
to saddle me with a wife who doesn't
care a straw for meV Come, you give
it up V"
"My trip to France? Yes. My
traps are on board, though. 1 must
try if 1 can rescue them."
' I'll see to that," said Archer, and
dashed oil".
liut either he was too late, oi they
could not easily he found, for the
steamer paddled out of the harbor
with him on the deck, and the "traps"
unlanded.
Archer did not go below during the
passage, but watched the ' ioon appear
and disappear among ti. clouds, or
gazed at its silvery path over the
water.
Many of the passengers looked with
curiosity or interest at the young man
who, with pale face almost ghostly in
the bluish light, leaned motionless
against the side, and looked out on the,
waters the whole night through.
Mr. Douglas followed at a more leisurely
pace; when his son ran off and
left him his mind was busy with this
new problem Could it be possible that
he had indeed been mistaken?that
Honor loved him, with his five-andforty
years to look back upon, better
than Archer? Had her assertion that
it was but a passing fancy, a weakness
that she had conquered, been the simple
truth? If so?
It was not long before he found that
his son had disappeared, and one or
two inquiries left no doubt as to where
he was gone.
On the following day he was again
; at Hastings and held Honor in his
arms.
"Are you convinced now?" she
whispered. "A:a I really quite forgiven
?"
Ilis sole answer was to press her
closer to his breast.
Hut though they have been married
J four years and a curly-haired little Annie
builds houses for baby with bricks
of wood, Archer Douglas lias never
been to see his stepmother. Never
since that night has he set foot in
England, though long letters at rare
intervals tell us of his doings in Australia,
and are full of glowing descriptions
of the climate and of the pleasures
of the wild, free life out in the
j,mslK
Bridal Processions in the East.
These processions are often of great
I splendor. In Canton we met two in
| one day. The first was headed by
j poles and banners carried by men, over
I whose common dress scarlet cloaks
I had been tlung: some gilt chairs foli
lowed, sedan chairs with open sides
I and in some of them the presents of
! tlie bride, and other men with scarlet
| cloaks brought up the rear. The
l second was on a scale of great magnilij
cence, quite blocking the street through
i which it passed and detaining us for
j nearly twenty minutes. Here there
I were hands of musicians playing on
; curious Eastern instruments; the men
i in scarlet cloaks as before, probably
I two hundred of them; then there were
| about fifty bearers of tablets, and ban
nermen, and a vast number of huge
gilded chairs filled with sweetmeats
and other presents; the bride in a
wonderfully elaborate and gilded chair
that was closed in with wood all round
. so that she was invisible, ending the
J procession, in which I noticed that the
! men carried lanterns already lighted;
j for, although it was only afternoon,
the party made a large detour to show
themselves in the principal streets,
always timing their arrival to be at
night.
Another day I saw the* chairs and
the scarlet-mantled men gathered in
such abundance round the bride's
house that they ilowed into all the
neighboring streets, and the crowd was
so great it needed two detachments of
police to ke?'j) order. In this instance
the bride was setting out though it
was not 12 o'clock; f.nd the journey
made it so long, and the rigor with
which the veiled bride, in a dress stiff
with gold and jewels, is kept shut in
the wooden box is so great that it has
happened when the so-called chair was
opened at the bridegroom's door the
bride was dead. In India the proI
fossil in is also timed to arrive at night,
and there are musicians, dancing girls
and fireworks; and families, no matter
how parsimonious, will spend upon the
show with a lavish hand, even up to
ten and twenty thousand pounds.
There the procession starts from the
bride's house in the evening, but the
bridegroom's share in it arrives at the
house during the day. "We sometimes
saw three or four processions together;
the bridegroom locking little more than
a child, and riding; the bride in a
palanquin; the presents borne on trays,
and sometimes large and curious pasteboard
figures were carried as at a
carnival.?Hood Words.
Washington in 1843.
Ex-Congressman "Went worth, of
Chicago, in some interesting reminiscences
of life in Washington forty
years ago, says: Washington was, in
184-i, the greatest slave mart in the
I'nited States. Within sight of the
capital, not far from the lower gate,
and near, if not upon, the land where
the public garden now is, was a building
with a large yard around it. inclosed
with a high fence. Thither
slaves were brought from all the slaveholding
region, like cattle to the
Chicago stock yards and locked up
until sold. There were regular auction
days for those j:ot- disposed of at
private sale. The Chicago lire destroyed
a hard cracker which I had
preserved as a specimen by which purchasers
tested the age of slaves. And
to this day, if there is anything
that the average Southern negro
does not know, it is his own age.
The slaves were placed upon a block
and when a question rose as to age,
the auctioneer requested them to bite
from a crack< r. which all slave auctioneers
keep for such occasions. The
Jlieory was that while a slave could
masticate well lie could work. Nearly
all tlie labor of Washington was performed
by slaves, many of whom were
hired from the neighboring States.

Genebai. surprise and the utmost consternation
prevailed throughout Tennessee when
it was discovered that Marshall T. Polk,
State treasurer, was a defaulter to the extent
of at least $400, COO, and a fugitive from justice.
A legislative joint committee that had
been examining tho treasurer's accounts reported
that he had been absent two days, and
the houso thereupon ordered that tho business
of the treasury department should be
suspended, and that payment on all chocks
signed by tho treasurer should bo stopped. The
committee continued its investigation, and J
several discrepancies wero soon discovered.
It was found that there was on hand in tho I
treasury only about 50,000, tho treasurer's
cash account being $2!)0,003 short; and j
?100,000 in United States bonds belonging to j
the Stato could not. bo found, thus malting a

and a high social position. Wlion the report
of his defalcation was made public it created

The Milwaukee Hotel Horror.
Details of the burning of ilie Newhall
house at Milwaukee, Wis., one <*f tlio largest
hotels in tho Northwest. ami of tho teiribje
loss of life which followed (Ik- bursting out
of the llamas, are a:-, follow.*: T;:c lire broke
out at about 4 o'clock in the morning, at
which time probably 200 persons were asleep
in the vast structure. There were few people
near the hotel at tho time?some policemen.
a few reporters and belated peoplehut
the scene which tool; place before then)
was one which none of them will ever forget.
In a moment, every window of the
large six-story structure was filled with struggling
guests, frantically and pitcously be
seeching the few below for aid, which it was
impossible to render. But few of
the unfortunate inmates gained the
front entrance in Michigan street, although
many might have l:e.*n
saved if some immediate attempt at systematic
rescue had been made. The hails of the
hotel were tho scene of the wildest confusion,
Men, women and children iu<hed up
anu down the halls in the dense, suffocating
smoke, missing in their frantic efforts tho
stairways and windows leading to the fireescapes.
The lire started apparently on the
third iloor of the building, over the side entrance,
in Michigan stru.-t, and before tho
lire department got a steamer fairly iu position
tho 11 ames had enveloped tho whole
southeastern corner of tho building. The
crowd, which by this time had swelled to
thousands, stood almost paralyzed, few having
sclf-pos*e-*sio:i and resolution enough to
lend a helping hand on Iho canvas stretched
out to receive those of the despairing inmates
of the burning building who risked the
leap down to the stone sidewalk, 100 feet be
IOW.
One poor fellow stood on a comico of the
fifth-story corner window for twenty minutes,
not daring to take the leap. Finally he
became bewildered, to judge by his actions,
or unconscious from the smoke, and slid oft
his perch to the canvas below. The few who
held it could not give tho necessary resistance.
Tho body fell, unhindered by the
canvas, with a crush which sent a shudder
through every witness. The body was carried
into tho American Express office. All
the while hundred* of people had been looking
on, nobody responding to the demands
of the oflicers for aid. In the sixth-story
window, right over this man, sat the figure
of a man crouched upon f lie window-Pill, gazing
like 0110 absent-minded into the fiery
abyss below, motionless, but from time to
time sending up a heart-rending shriek.
Steadily the flames encroached upon him;
ho did not seem to mind it. Then the
flames singed his hair and licked his nightclothes;
ono despairing look ho gave to the
crowd below, and then fell back into the sea
of lire. A man and a woman appeared at a
window of fie third story. Tiiey were recognized
as Alien Johnson and wife. A canvas
was stretched below ihe windows of their
apartment, and a thousand voices call d to
them to jump. Mr. Johnson kissed his wife
aud then leaped iuto the air and shot downward
into the canvas, but his weight was
such that tho canvas was pulled out of the
hands of tho few that held it, and lie alighted
on tho ground with deathly force. His wife
followed. Her body struck tho veranda and
fell to tho ground lifeless. Mr. Johnson
died soon afterward in the express office, and
his body was laid boside that of his wife until
they wero borno away.
About a dozen persons jumped from the
Michigan street front. Each leap meant
death or shattered limbs, and not ies:; than
four unfortunates at ono time lay upon the
icy sidewalk in front of the Chamber of Commerce
clad only in night clothes. Some were
carried to the expre ss office and others to the
grouuu noor 01 xno .micneu nuuu:ng, wneru
cots ]md been liastiiy arranged, isuil from
there they were carried off to ilie private
houses of kind-hearted. people. Tlio scene
iu the alley west of the burning building was
sickening. As early as (> o'clock the bodies
of seven unfortunate waiter girls were
stretched upon the snow and'ice, with broken
limbs, writhing in agony until
ended their sufferings. The maze o:
telegraph wires encircling the building
on the souih and east sitb.!
played sad havoc wilfi the people who
made the frightful leap for life. Several of
the bodies were cut .deep into by the wire.*,
and then (he torn and bleeding forms would
drop to the ground. Others would strike the
wiie? crosswiso, rebound, and bo hurled to
the ground with a dreadful crash. To the
poor waiter girls, all lodged in the ;hth
story and attic, tho saddest lot had fallen.
Of sixty young girls only eleven wera heard
from as alive iu iho evening. Long after
the flames had taken possession of the interior,
Miss Ch dls, head dressmaker at 'J'. A.
Clnpman & Co.'s, was seen ut her window on
tlio fourth floor. She was rocr-gni/ed by
trieiid.i below, and implored Jo lii-ike th-'
lo.ip upon the canvas, but she lea-ai'ud
Lf.ni/1itiif of <1\A tiMtwJrtW r\f 1 fi luit* i?w
roumuntil the Hames enveloped her a:ui .-in*
sank baclc.
White these scenes wero being enacted on
tho llroadway and Michigan sides of she illfated
building, one of still greater horror
was beiiix enacted in thealley at the rear.
;rhi servants' quarters wero in the northwest
part of the building, remote from tlio place
111 which tlio lire was raging, but all means
of escape by the stairways wero cnt off by
the flames. As the teivbb roaring and
crackling of the flame; struck upon their
ears they became panic-stricken, and eight
of them followed each other in leaping from
the dizzy height to the ground in the alley.
The jumping canvas was on hand, but it wiw
powerless in tho conflict with death. At this
juncture a heroic fireman appeared on the
top of the building directly opposite the
?ei vants' quarters with a ladder in his hand.
For moment the lonir, unwieldy thing

William E. Cramer, the venerable editor
of the Evening Wisconsin, and his wife, who
had a room on the third floor, received fori
oris injuries. Mr. Cramer was badly
burned about the head and hands, and Mrs.
Cramer's hair, hands and feet were bnrned.
Among those killed was Mrs. Gilbert, of
the Minnie Palmer theatrical company, who
had been married only two days before.
Her husband was fatally injured.
John F. Antisdel, princial proprietor of
the hotel, went crazy over the terrible affair.
He ran up and down Michigan street moaning
and crying, " Oh, my God ! Who set
that fireV" Over his head was a black cloth.
He held his hands heavenward as though invoking
Divine aid. When he caine to the
mangled body of one of his guests his ravings
were pitiful in the extreme. All
efforts to soothe him failed. His son
and partner, James Antisdel, stood on
the street silent and undemonstrative,
as though paralyzed with horror.
On the evening after the tire thirty-five dead
uuuie* imu uuun reiuifruu huu auuui iwuiiiy
more persons known to havo been in the
hotel wore missing, but it was fenred that
many more bodies than was at first estimated
would be found beneath the ruins. More
tlian twenty of the bodies recovered on the
day of the tire were servants employed in the
hotel.
The Newlmll house was built in 1S*>7 by
Dauiel Newlmll and others at a cost of $155,000.
When furnished and opened for business
in August of that year the total ro*t
of the hotel was placed at $270,000.
Milwaukee brick was used in its construction.
It was six stories high,
had JiOO rooms, and was considered
at the timo of its completion the
largest and finest hotel in the West.
In lh74 John F. Antisdel leased tho Newhall
house, and it has since been under his management.
It was provided with fire hose attached
to hydrants on every floor. The hotel
has always been considered a tinder box, and
has been guarded with moro than ordinary
care on that account. Notwithstanding this
it had previously been on fire a great many
times, though without serious loss. The
pecuniary ilamago is estimated at about
8)00,COO.
Inundations in Europe.
A special cable dispatch to tho New York
Herald gives the following particulars of
tho great inundations in Germany and Austria:
Between Christmas and New Year's the
note of alarm wjis sounded in Central Eu
rope that the headwaters of t!io Rhine, the
Main, theDanube, the Itn>, tlie Moldau, the
Vistula, the Oder, the Elbe, the Theiss and
the Weser were rising, owing to the melting
snow in the Alps. Under violent southerly
winds there was a heavy rainfall. Soon afterward
the worst feavs were realized. The
districts bordering on these streams were
inundated, and the floods which overflowed
the banks laid tho fields, vineyards and
dwellings for miles under water, causing
more destruction than the delugo of a month
since.
'J uronghont Upper and Lower Austria and
Bohemia the thawing of the deep snow was
very sudden, and numerous avalanches fell
in Styrin, blocking tho railroads. Tho
Danube immediately commenced to rise. The
city authorities hastened to take measures to
check the flood. Engineers and workmen
were busy strengthening and repairing the
bridges and dikes. News of danger came
from hundreds of villages along the banks
as tho tributaries continued to bear
immense masses of water into the main
stream. 15y New Year's the Danube had
overflowed its right bank, flooding tho railway
and station and driving the officials into
the upper floors and offices. Tho Danube
Navigation company had boats and sailors
read* and detachments of pontooners on
duty in the Prater. Tho water flooded the
engine which drovo the electric light of the
Karl theatre and the audience had to leave.
In some towns deer took refuge among the
houses, and quantities of game, roebuck,
pheasants, hares and partridges drifted
down the river. Linz and Posth have suffered
most among the larger towns, 7.",000
acres of cultivated land lying south of the
latter being entirely submerged. Tho country
folk saved their herds with difficulty, but
:5ft. their houses to the mercy of the waters.
The damage to property is serious everywhere,
but tho loss of life is not as largo as
might be expected, caring to the precautions
taken in good time.

the inundations were more destructive
thiiii for many yaars. The city of Maycnce
was in a critical position, the waters
having advanced closo to tho walls and
flooded the railroads. Tho entire plain between
Mannheim and Worms was one great
lake ten feet dfltp. Fivo villages were
destroyed and 2G0 houses have fallen
in. In tho Ried district, near Worms,
twelve villages were nearly destroyed
and OX) houses collapsed. Ten thousand
people are completely destitute. At Mannheim
tiio wholo district presented a melancholy
aspect. Nothing was visible but a sea
of water, with a fow trees and roofs emerging
from the flood. A number of lives were
lost. At Heidelberg both lines of railway
were destroyed. The water rose to the
ceilings in the lower parts of the town.
Everywhere churches and public buildings
were opened to shelter tho rootless sufferers.
At Bergstrasso the Rhine burst through the
dams and swept away houses and herds.
All tho streets of Cologne adjacent to the
wharves wero under water. Tho suburbs
formed an extensive lake. Five hundred
people aro houseless. Below Cologne the
little towns of Mulheimer, Weiaenand Warrinjren
wero entirely under water. In
Friesenheim houses have fallen and furniture
floated about. '1 he inhabitants in
many cases wero prisoners in their half sabmerged
dwellings.

How tlie "City of Brussels" was Lost.
The terrible collision which took place at
tho mouth of the Mersey, off Liverpool, has
cost tho Inmr.n line one of their finest
vessels, valued at about $000,000. The City
of Brussels left New York for Liverpool with
a tnixo'l cargo of the ostimated valoo of
?:<r<P,<X)0; and sixty-seven passengers. All went
well until she ncared the English coast. When
off tho mouth of tho Mersey, between 0
and 7 a. m. Sunday, a dense fog came on,
whiclt rendered it necessary to stop the
engines. The vessel then laid to off tho bar,
waiting for the fog to lift. Suddenly, before
any stoj s could be taken to avert the disaster
with success, the steamship Kirby Hall ran
into her amidships, cutting the main compartment
of tho City of Brussels right in
two and shifting the bulkhead.
The boats were at onco got out, and it was
during this operation that the only confusion
oc Mii-rod. Tho pilot, anxious for his own
safety, jumped into the first boat launched.
Captain Land was na In rally so indignant at
this cowardico that ho ordered the crew to
pull him out. Such was the quiet calmness
with which all tho orders were carried out
that many of tho passengers did not at first
believo the disaster to be of tho serious
nature it really was.
Tho passengers behaved very well under
tne trying circumstances, inning mo positions
allotted them by tho officers in perfect
quietude. They were got into the boata in
their respective order, and put off from the
side in dense darkness. Tho captain and
eevoral of the crew remained on board
tho fated vessel until the last,
taking refuge in the rigging. She
went down in abotit half an hour after the
accident with a fearful plunge, flinging into
the sea those clinging to tho rigging. The
scene was rendered ail tho more distressing
by the darkness which prevailed, preventing
the occupants of the boats readily finding
the struggling swimmers.
One of tho first picked up was Captain
Land. Ho was just passing a life-buoy to
a comrade in distress when he was rescued.
As soon as the fog cleared away a little the
occupants of the boats were taken on board
the Kirby Hnll, whore they received every
attention. The captain made every possible
effort to relieve the passengers, but owing to
the very low tide his vessel was unable to
cross the bar until after 7 o'clock in the
evening.
It was found on mustering the passengers
and crow that ten were missing, including
two Italian steerage passengers, who are supposed
to have lost their heads with fright at
the moment of the collision, and jumped
overboard without remaining to see wnat
i - r?iL
cnance Ul ftueiy mcie Iiugub uo* iuu iunuwf
ing is a list of the officers and crew lost:
Young, second officer; Woods, Carpenter;
Conner, quartermaster; Cochrane, saloon
steward; Quinn, lamp trimmer; Malcolm,
fireman; Smith and MeLeod, able seaman.
No personal effects were saved by either
the passengers or crew, and several persons
were compelled to take their departure from
the ship very deficient in clothing.
It is thought that the seamen who were
drowned must have been struck by the rigging
and rendered insensible when tne
vessel lurched prior to sinking. If the fog
had only cleared sooner there is little
doubt but that all would have been saved.
The passengers of the City of Brussels
were loud in their expressions of admiration
at the admirable inauner in which the captain,
officers and crow behaved under sudden
call upon their courage. They drew up the
following memorial:
"We, who have just been rescued from a
wnterv crave, wish to exnress our sincere
gratitude and admiration of the courage,
promptitude and coolness iu danger exemplilied
by the captain, purser and other officers
of the ill-fated vessel, which has just gono
down so near the termination of her voyage."
Tho captain of theKirby Hall says that although
the engines of the BUnken vessel
were stopped the tide was bringing her on
so quickly that the collision was unavoidable.
He backed his ongines when he first heard
the whistles of the City of Brussels.
Gambetta's Funeral.
The greatest demonstration ever witnessed
in France at the funeral of a statesman was
seen in Paris at tho obsequies of Leon
Garnbetta, at which all France assisted, and
certainly over .'!00,0(.'0 people followed the
remains of the dead statesman to his temporary
resting-place in Fere la Chaise. The
spectacle was without precedent in the
history of tho republic, and so great was
tho crowd which thronged to do honor to
t!io memory of the dead that after 8
o'clock in the morning all traffic on the
south side of tl.o Seine was stopped,
and all that part of the city was
given up to the habiliments of mourning
and the solemn celebration of the last rites.
Up anxious were tho masses to witness the
procession that thousands assembled along
the route during the night, selected eligible
positions from which to view the imposing
pageant, and waited patiently in a drenching
rain-storm for many weary hours
mil! 1 tlir? rnr hfir! nnssnrl. At (LlV
break all lli? streets through which the procession
was announced to pas.) were tilled with
human heads. The heavy storm of the
night had given vise to gravo forebodings
that the last sceno was to be enacted amid
the gloom of overcast skies, but shortly after
!) o'clock the sun pierced through the clouds,
dispelling them and lighting up the city of
l'aris, alive with nn eager crowd of waiting
men an.i women on one sido of
the river, and almost totally deserted
on the other. EverywhdPe the
pymbols of mourning appeared, and
the great city seemed one shrond of black.
Flags draped with crapo were displayed
from housetops and windows. The entire
front of the Palais Bourbon, where the body
was Ijiug iu state, was shrouded in black,
and' silver candelabra stood between the
pillars of the building, from which
sprang a greenish ilumo, adding to
the somber aspect of the mourning.
It had been arranged for the funeral procession
to start at 10 o'clock iu the morning,
? - ' - ?i.A ,*t

Gam bet ta was bourno from the Palais Bourbon
and deposited on the funeral car amid
Uie booming of cannon and the beating

Doctor Ficnsd mid Deputy Etienue,
representing the family, and Martin i'euillet,
president of iho Union iiepublicaino, followed
tho body anil stood with uncoverod
heads while it was being placed in tho car,
us did the large throng of deputations and
the populace who hovered around the Palais
Bourbon.
Tho magnificent funeral car was drawn
by six black horses, and the platform was
literally covered with wreaths, bouquets and
loose dowers. Tho procession started from
tlio Palais JJonrbon as soon as tho body had
been deposited on tho car, and ?n imposing
pageant was then presented to the hundreds
of thousands of men and women who had
congregated along tho route to witness the
ppectaclo. In front of tho ear, on a platform
borne by twelve men,was tho colossal bust of
Gambetta surrounded by beautiful flowers
arranged in an artistic manner to
ivpresent the national colors of France.
Preceding this were three chariots richly
decorated and drawn by black horses, caparisoned
in sable trappings, in which were
borne tho crowns and garlands sent by the
different cities and towns of France as offerings
of respect to the memory of tho dead
s-.tvonnan. In front of these chnriots were
ca; riago;} containing the relatives and friends ;
ot (iainbetta, the representatives of President
(irevy, tho mini, ters and generals of tho
French army, and the senators and deputies.
A guard of honor,composed of the Republican
Guard, marched on either side of the catafalque,
accompanied by a band playing a
| funeral march, and following tho car were
I various deputations from the different do- j
| partinenla with Hags an.t banners draped in
mourning and bearing innumerable wreaths
I and bouuiiets of (lowers. I lis estimated that |
I nl least people participated in this pro- I
cession to I'ere laChaise. Among them were |
'_',000 oilicers and 1,<SK) delegates from the ; 1
Gymnastk; societies of tlio Republic, a | 1
f great number of l'rcetnasons in uniform, j ]
j ami advocates and students of Paris, j
Prince liohenloho, the German am- j
bassador, was pteseul at the start of |
the procession, an-1 >c*nt his carriage to j
join the cort?*go as a mark of respect, j
as did also the other foreign ministers. |
Tin* march was rendered more imposing ,
still by the presence of one of the largest j
military arrays that Paris ever witnessed
Hi a funeral. All the troops of the garrison |
were under arms to Jo honor to the mem- I
ory of Gambetta. The force comprised j !
nine regiments of the line, two battalions j >
of chasseurs, four regiments of artii- j
lery. two regiments of cavalry, two regi- j
ments of cuirassiers, the Gendarmerie Mo- i
bile, the Gcndiirmerie of the* Seine, the !
Paris guard, .and the Sappers and Miners. 1
These troops lined the streets through <
which the procession passed and added .
greatly to tho effect of tlio spectacle. '
Not all wiio gazed upon this monster pro- 1
cession were friends of tho dead staie.sman. | ,
ami the spectacle of tho formidable array of :
his sympathizers and members of the 5
associations which followed his re- !
mains out of respect and admiration
for tho man, and of the adversa- j
t ies of the great tribune holding aloof and
maintaining a sullen silence, caused a vague J
feeling of uneasiness throughout tho city. I <
But the cemetery was reached without any j
disturbance having occurred, and when the '
pageant was over the crowds dispersed [ 1
and Paris breathed more freely. | '
All the military bauds of Paris contributed j
to t lie music to which the solemn march was ^
made, and numerous musical socie- !
lies also _ accompanied the procession ; <
r.nd furnished music. The procession j t
was the largest ever witnessed in Paris, j '
but perfect erder vm maintained. I
I?? i
All along the line the streets were densely
packed, and upon the railing of the Qarden
of the Tnileries men were standing two
and three deep on the stone-work,
with the surging maei below them,
clinging to the rails with one hand
and waving their hats with the other.
The catafalque reached the entrance to
Pere la Chaise at 1:30 p. m., three hours after
starting from the Palais Bourbon. The coffin
was placed at the entrance of the cemetery,
and M. Deves, minister of justice, made a
short address on behalf of the government.
After other speeches the procession and the
crowd passed around the body, and at 3:30
p. m. the coffin was carried into the cemetery,
which was closed to the public. The casket
was placed in ita temporary resting-place,
and the crowds then dispersed. M. Gambetta's
father has consented, in deference to
the repeatedly expressed wishes of his son,
to permit the-funeral at Nice to be a private
one.
The futile demands for ten-cent
pieces show tli.it the United States

remedies over offered to the public, and es it is prepared
