Tht nobg Kong Mail- saeY: At
110A1160, on the 7th of Janeary, a
terrible calamwkyroeurred. 'A fire
Uoke out at 10 o'block in the morn
ing, stone of the relief yards estab-.
%Whb-outside of the city wall for the
bentifS of the famine rehigee. A
strong ortheast wind was blowing
at tel time, and scarcely an hour
pased before all the sheds were
butned, and between 2,800 and 8,000
womi and children were suffated
or boneo to death. As correct an es
timate as I can get gives the number
of Iinales as 8,000 of whom only a
little over 100 escaped. The h-ca.
ti,h. of this soup kitchen was mnfor%
tinate. On the east side was the
city ditch; on a papt of the south and
west sides was an ice pit, while
houses lined the remainitg sides. In
addition, it was surrounded >y a
strong fence of kauling stalks plas-,
tered with mud, in which there was
ouly one gate, aull it is sald that on
the bursting forth of the flames the
gate keeper locked the gate and ran
away. Many of the chinese showed
much.courage in trying to render as
i stance, as testified by an eye wit
ness, who, passing just at the time,
hastened to do what he could in tear
ing down the fence and rendering
other services. Re speaks of tl>e
scene of that time as terrible beyond
description. 'The scene presented
after the fire had done its work was
gh'Astly and horrible, and the pIcture
of it rises before my mind as one
that can never be effaced. The con
tortiois of the features, the positions
of thu bodies, hands limbs, mouth
and eyes, the same as when the
flame and smoke overtook thet, re
minded one of the descriptions of
Pompeii. iad the gate been left
open probably many more might
have maee their escape, but so rapid
*ly did the flames spread through the
mat sbeds, and in the straw and mats
spread on the ground as a protection
against dampness, that before an
opening ould. be made in the fence,
few even were left to linger on in
suffering. [low the fire originated
-no one seems to know--a spark,
probably, from the range where, at
the time, the millet was cooking.
NTaw Yoax, March 1O.-A special
fromn Atlanta, Ga., says: "The city of
Atlanta experienced to day the se
vgrest wind storm or rainloss tornado
ever known bore. The storm burst,
suddenly about, 11 o'clock a. mn., and
when all the churches were filled with
worshippers, and lasted, without rain
but with eteady and tremendous force,
for two hours. The Episcopal Chburch,
like others, was filled at the hour for
the commencement of divine service,
and no thought of danger was enter
tained by't,be congregation; but dur,
lng the early part of-the service, the
wind suddenly rose and shook the
whole bnilding to its foundation. The
of#eiating minister realized at once
that a tornado had struck the build,
ing, and knowing it was merely .a
question of minutes to secure the
safety of the people, he0 cried out to
them to throw themselves unde-' the
Sseats. This advic the congregation
at once followed, and not a moment
teo soon. With a few fearful creaks
onIb jars of its roof and walls, the
%boIleulding crambled into a shape.
less ra~In, buvying the congregation
under the obr . Luckily the shel,
ter afforded by thw seats protected the
great mass of the 'ongregation, but
eighteen were seriously wounded by
* the falling timbers. Norw of those,
however, have died. Seveal other
churches in Atlanta have betn seri
onsly injured, their walls aIlakertand
roofs partly t. .;pped. . i City fli
was entirely unroofed and C.'o cas
sheds of the railroad depot unsestled.
*There was groat damage, an estin ate
of which cannot yet be determined.
A Cnrr SHAKENI AND SCARED.-A
special from Naishvi lie, Tennessee
. sys that a terrific earthquake shock
was felt at Columbus, Kentucky, at
4 o'clock on Mionday mnorning, 13th
iuistant. It awoke cthe residents of
the..town and oreaied considerable
consternation. Beadetoads rolled a
-cross, tbe floors of rooms, bnreaus anid
presse wore thrown down and brok

Wore ibout Xr- Hayo.
The followk.ng, congideriog that iI
comeo from the Phll delphia TImes,
a paper ppblished In loyal north to
fu!l of significance: "The trilth is
thit retribution has come upon the
Republicad party with a &yttqs
ond a force that is almo4t Impossible
to wtbstand, and.. the sarcasm of des
tiny is seen in the fact that the hand
that deals the blow is the hand of
him- whose promotion to place and
power, as the representative --of the
party, a great -crime- was committed.
The conscionenees of this crime rank
ing in the breast of every Republican
who witnessed the electoral frauds
without a protest makes the situam
tion more -critical. As man after
man becomes alienated from the ad.
ministration he falls into line with
the opposition and tries to calm his
conscience by condemning fraud
even louder than the regulation Dem
ocrate. The yell of "fraud" is be
coming so general that it drowns all
other party cries political watc 's
words. . Clearly the first thing to be
d>ne, if the Republican. party is to
be restored to life, is to stop this din
that falls upon the ear of the leaders,
now like the roar of the tempest and
now like the kuell of departed hopep,
but always in tones that strike terror
to the guilty conscience. This is a
task for a Hercules and Hercules is
not in the Republican ranks at tbis
time. It looks very much as though
the obj ct cannot be accomplished
withont the removal of the fraud it
self, or all that now remains of it, and
tiat operation is very likely to kill
the patient."
The inside as well as the cutside o,
farmer's homps should be pleasant.
The eye naturally loves what is beau
tiful, and through this organ the taste
is educated arnd the mind enlarged.
Pleasant pictures on the walls,wreaths
of flowers from the gardon, fieldb .and
forest, works of poesy, fiction and
science are wit.hin the reach of the
most humble, and their influence for
good upon .the mind and character
cannot be over-.estimated. Tholi chil
dren especially are Attracted by those
adornments, and their attachment to

The baroe-walls of too many of our
country homes--their total lack of
any food for the mind, in tho shape of
books and papers1'-thIo humdrum life,
which frowns upon all plea4u res and
considers it a sin-too often drives
away the young and aspim ing mind,
and the country Joses a first class
farmer and gives'to the world a poor
physician, lawyer or clergy man.
Live within your means, and lay
up something for a rainy day. You

REPUBLIcANS PREFER TILDEN TO
HIAYE.-lt is useless longer to con
ceal the fact that the. Republicans are
betting very tired of Hayes. it is
coaceded, that his course is sapping
the Efe and wearing away the energy
of the 1Republican party. It is a sol,
omn fact to day that im~ Washington a
majority ot Republican Senators and
Representatives would rather see
Tildon in the 'White House than
Hayes. There are but five or six
Republican Senatore (so called) who
sustain the administration, and tbere
are not twenty all told in the House,
so that in an emergency Hayes would.
be almost utterly without any sup.
