General Sbaler, of the New York fire
department, inspeoted tbe burned por?
tion of Boston, and says the fire was in
oonsequenoe of the delay of the firemen
to reach the scene, the' narrowness of
the streets, which prevented effective
work, and the great heat. He agrees
with the Boston chief, that the explo?
sion of buildings by gnnpowder tends to
spread a conflagration. He assuros the
people of thiB city that there is no like?

A barber is on trial in San Francisco
for killing a woman because she refused
to marry him. This was a barbarous
piece of business; but if a woman can
shoot a man because he refuses to leave
off loving his wife, what may a man do
to a womun who refuses to love him?
This is a puzzle to a San Francisco jury,
aud their stupidity will doubtless be
equal to the occasion.
Owing to the fact that tbe cemeteries

A Question fob Gramm.vbIan a.?The
Hudson Register deals humorously with
a question of grammar as follows:
A searcher after truths writes to ask us
whioh is grammatically correct, to say
"the hoase is building," or "the house
is being built," "tbo street is paving,"
or "the street is being paved?*' There
is a wide diversity of opinion upon this
subject; but we inoline to favor "is being
built," for the following reasons: Sup?
pose yon wish to express another kind of
an idea, would you say, for instance,
?'Johnny is spanking," or "Johuuy is
being spanked?" The difference to you
may seem immaterial, but it be a matter
of oousidorablo importance to Johnny;
and it is probable that, if any choioo
were given him, he would suddouiy select
the former alternative. Yon say again
that the "missionary is eating." Cer?
tainly this expresses a very diflerout and
muu'u pleasauter idea than the form:
"Tho missionary is being eaten;" and
tbo sensation is very different for the
missionary, too. We have consulted
several missionaries about it, and they
all seem to think that the two things are
somehow not tho same, no matter what
the grammariaus say.
But it is to bo confessed that there are
occasions when tho difference ia the
form is not bo marked. You assert, we
say, that "Hanuah is hugging"?which,
by tho way, wonld bo a very improper
thing for Hannah to do; it would be
positively scandalous, indeed. Precisely
a similar idea is conveyed if you say,
"Hannah iB being hugged," beoausoitis
a peculiarity of the act that it is hardly
ever one-Bided; there is no selfishness
about it. Aud it is the same with kiss?
ing. "Jano is kissing"?and her mother
ought to know it, if she is?is just ex?
actly as if we should say, "Juno is being
kissed;" aud the sensation is the same,
although uoue of the grammars, by a
singular inadvertence, mentiou the fact.
It will not be necessary, however, for our
correspondent to attompt to prove these
last meutioued fuels by practice. Ho
must take our word for them. Unless
ho does so, we shall answer no more
questions in syntax for Uim or uny one
else. Our duty is to conserve the morals
of the community, not to start people to
playing private gnmeB of Copenhagen.
Eugene Lagravo, the alleged swiudler
and confideuce man, who recently ur
lived in New York from France, where
he was arrested by au American detec?
tive as a fugitive from justice, is ono of
the most accomplished rogues in his pe?
culiar lino on record. Ho is charged
with swindling leading dry good-, firms
of New York to tho amount of ?600,000.
For ono year ho operated at tho expense
of these firms without exciting their sus?
picion, and was thas onabled to amass
the vast amount meutiouod, or its value
in goods. Lagrave has been twico mar?
ried to respectable young women in
New York, und both his wivoa obtained
divorces from him. When, a few months
ago, Lagrave's business crimes were dis?
covered, he fled to Canada, and theace to
Europe, whero he took up his residence
at Iiagneres, iu South Franco, where he
was finally arrested by the detective who
was sent in pursuit of him. Ho wad ac?
companied iu his flight by a woman, the
wife of a rich lawyer of New York. This
woman was originally an adopted daugh?
ter of the famous opera singer M'ino
Lagrange, uud was, before marriage, a
pianist iu a traveling coucert company.
When Lagravo was arrested, this woman
remained in France. Lagravo is not
more than thirty-three years old, and is
described as a person of decent, al?
though dissipated, appearance, who
dresses in tho height of fashion, with a
brown velvet coat, aud with what might
be called a jaunty air. He is now in jail
in default of 840,000 bail, and, ia Cali

"petered out" and "touched bottom" in
his capacity as a gentleman who does
business on tho confidential principle.

tbo room he slept iu was rocked at night;
ho was openly attacked on tho streets,
and had to defend himself with his pis?
tol; and during his stay in Salisbury, he
dared not walk tho streets at night, for
fear of his life. Saturday night, so our
informant status, a fuss betweeu the
whites and blacks occurred, growing out
of attacks upon DeWitter. in which
sticks and brick-bats wero freely used,
resulting iu the severe wounding of seve?
ral white men. ? Charlotte Observer.

HoNXY bt tbs ToN?THE labgest
Bbe-htvh in thb WoitLD?In Loa An
gelos County, od the E vetern slope of
the Sau Francisco runge of mountains,
and in the immediate vicinity of the
Learning Petroleum Company's oil re?
gion, there-is the most wonderful oolleo
tiou of wild honey in existence. The
hive is located in a rift, which pene?
trates the rock to tbe depth probably of
1G0 feet. The orifice is thirty feet long
and seventeen feet wido; four passages.
The rift was discovered to be the abid?
ing plaoe of a swarm of bees that is rep?
resented as coming out iu a nearly solid
column one foot in diameter. Certain
parties have endeavorod to desoend to
the immenso store of honey collected by
these bees, but ewere invariably driven
back, and one man lost his life in tho
effort. Others have, at the expense of
muoh labor and money, built a scaffold
125 feet high in the hope of reaohing a
plaoe whenoe they could run a drift
into tbe rook, and extract its well-hoard?
ed sweets, but finally oeased their work.
Within four years, the bees have added
not less than fifteen feet of depth to
their treasure, as ascertained by actual
measurement, and it is thought that at
tho present time there oannot be less
than eight or ten tons of honey in the
rook. A man named D. Brophy lives
in a oabin?not far from tbe spot, and ob?
tained from the melting of the honey by
the sun's heat more tban enongh for his
family requirements. All through that
region, immenso stores of wild honey are
found in trees, in the rocks, in nearly
every place where its industrious manu?
facturers think of?for bees seem to
think?that it is Becaro. They consume
a very small proportion, as the climate
enables them to keep np operations
nearly every day in the year, and flowers
of some sort are always in bloom. It
must be a very severe season indeed
when the little follows are not seen
abroad in vast numbers, busily engaged
in their mellifluous work.

Poisoning from Green Wall Paper.
A lady in Western Massachusetts, last
summer, wns taken sick, suffering from
prostration and general nausea. The
physician, failing to discover any cause,
dually suspected that it might bo from
the green wall paper of her room. Sho
was romuved to another room, and im?
mediately reaovered, which led to an
analysis by the State chemist, at Here?
ford, of tho wall paper, which resulted
in the discovery that every square foot
of this ltiuooeiit-luoking paper contained
an amount of thu poiaou equivalent to
five grains of the nrsenious acid, or
double the fatal dose for an adult person.
This, in the moist warm weather of lust
July and August, was amply sufficient to
keep tho nir of a room constantly im?
pregnated with tho poison, aud any per?
son occupying such a room would be as
certainly poisoned as though the arsenic
had been taken into the stomach.
An Enthusiastic Grant Man Blown
to Death.?At Hazardville. Conn., on

non's mouth. Ono arm was torn off at
tho shoulder, the other was toru off at
the elbow; ono oye was blown out of the
socket, aud the faoo was terribly dis?
figured. Blaokened and insensible, tho
poor fellow was picked up and taken to
his boarding house, where he lingered
till evening.

day, the 5th iust., Robert Geddings and
Lawrence Lackey, residing near the
Clarendon line, iu the lower part of this
County, wore fired upon by unknown
parties, while they were sitting in their
own houses, and both wounded, whether
seriously or not we have not yet heard.
We have heard no reason, real or sup?
posed, assigned for this extraordinary
proceeding. It is a strange and appa?
rently high-handed ocourrenoo.

Flush Times in Augusta.?The "flush
times" which onco prevailed in tho
South-west seems to havo come to Au
gustu. About ono week ago, S30.0U0 of
city bonds fell duo. Up to yostorday,
only 37,000 of thorn had been presontcd
for redemption. Tho holders of the
other $23,000 apparently hove plenty of
money, and are in no hurry to oollect
what is duo them.?Augusta Chronicle.
Tho Cinoiunati Commercial has a cor?
respondent, "W. K.," who writes to
that paper a journal of "a walk from
the Ohio to Florida." He started ou the
21st of July last, and under date of Oc?
tober 12, writes from Tallahassee, having
accomplished tho whole journey in ten
weeks, with no other aid than his lego.
Ho says: "I soourod the object for which
1 started?tho restoration of my health."
African Colonization.?Jaoob De
Witter, tho colored orator who spoke in
Charlotte, N. O, some time ago, is about
to set out on a lecturing tour through
tho South, tho object of which is to per?
suade the negroes to otrtigrute to Africa,
which ho thinks is a far more oongenial
olimo for thorn to dwell iu than their
present habitations.
Au ingenious improvement in tho con?
struction of cottou gins consists iu the
appliances of an air exhaust, which fa?
cilitates tho fecdiug of the cotton to the
rollers, and an air draught for removing
tho cotton from tho rollers, which it
dooti most effectively, thus dispensing
with the U90 of brushes or other dovioes
for that purposo.
There is more feed, for congratulation
in tho latest reports of the conflagration
in' Boston than could have been hoped
for from the first despatches. The
losses are estimated at from $80,000,000
to $90,000,000, and the insurance at
from $10,000,000 to $12,000,000. The
fire was entirely under control by 3 P.
M. yesterday. The burned distriot is
bounded by Summer, Broad, Central,
Federal, Water and Washington streets,
and the three branches of business
which suffered chiefly are the wool, the
dry goods and the eboe and leather.
The Old South Churoh and tho new
post office building, which it was sup?
posed impossible to save, havo escaped
with but little injury. The Transcript
and Pilot offices have been destroyed;
the offices of the Post are badly damaged,
but all the hotels, theatres .and public
buildings are uutouohed. Largely-at?
tended meetings were held in Chicago,
Washington, Philadelphia, New York,
and other cities to provide plans for the
relief ot the sufferers. The total num?
ber ot buildings consumed is abont 700,
and at least one-half of them have been
erected within the past five years.
Morganatic marriages are quite com?
mon among the princes of German
royal families. These left-handed mar?
riages, as they are called, are legitimate
marriages between members of noble
families and women of an inferior condi?
tion, and whioh do not confer on the
children issuing from them a right to the
rank and title of the father. {Among
those who have formed saoh unions in
Europe may be noted Victor Emmanuel
and the Countess Miraflori; Frederick
William III, father of the present Empe?
ror of Germany, with the Oonutoas Har
raoh, who still lives; Leopold I, late -
King of the Belgians, with the Baroness
Mayer; Prince Albert of Prussia, bro?
ther of the Emperor William of Germa?
ny, with tho Countess de Hohenau, and
Prince Adalbert, of Prussia, with There?
sa de Barnim, nee Elsler.
A Commentary.?Robinson refused to
give a performance on Friday nignt, to
the great disappointment of many of onr
citizens who did not go to the cirouo in

drunken men in town. Drunkists, re?
flect on tins and loarn a moral even from
