Files of light material, ' packed away in the warehouse, were like so much tiuder, and before tbe alarm could be given, great volumes of fl*tne were rolling np fifty feet into tho air, and clouds of smoke rising. Tbe heat generated was intense, and in twenty minutes the upper stories of tho build? ing, from front to rear, a distance of 200 feet, was a mass of glowipg flame. The fire worked back into the stables of Geo. F. Bonney, on Barnstoad plaoe, which runs out of Boy is ton street, near Wash? ington street, aud destroyed it. Event? ually, tho walls of the immense edifice fell, and crushed to atoms the extensive gallery of Jourdain, with all tbe stores beneath it, on the opposite corner of .Fayette Oourt.

Frtm Be*?n trt in* Present Tim*. Abtfef-retrospect Of the situation in PrS o'ce, since ' the surrender at Sedan, will disclose - ho extraordinary turbnlenoe of French politics, and indicate what a purely transition regime must be the ministration of Marshal McMahon. Hardly "bad the .news of tho inglorious capitulation of an Emperor with his chief army been announced in Paris, before Jules Favre, from tho tribune of the Uorps Legislatif, became the pioneor of the new republic, oud tho 4th of Sep? tember, 1870, became ouo of thoso quo? table dates whioh form tho chief'feature of French history. It was a bloodless day; but it was a victory, too. Hurried away by tho crowd to tbo Hotol do Yille, tho new'government was installed according to precedent, and a cabinet formed of which oue extreme was the soldierly Breton, Troohu, aud tho othor Henri Bochefort, the destroyer of tho empire, now languishing in a fortress prison. Tho inheritance of the Favre Ministry was a disastrous war," whioh subsequently involved the surrender, as prisoners of war, of over 800,000 sol? dier? and tho capitulation of nearly every stronghold in France. On the very men who had bitterly opposed the empire, during its nineteen years of op? pressive rule, devolved the duty of dos? ing its unfinished war and of signing hu? miliating terms of peace. Oat of tbe general ruin and chaos that prevailed during the closing days of January, 1871, there arose one who had long been silent in public affairs. It is true he had made a circuit of the Euro? pean capitals to liud an ally, and he bad implored Bismarck and the Prussian King iu their headquarters at Versailles. But throughout the extraordinary pro? ceedings of Gambetta at Tours and Bordeaux be hud not the influence of a child. It was only on the 8th of Febru? ary, when the French pooplo gathered at the polls, that tho popularity of Adolphe Thiers was proven by bis becoming the elwct of nineteen departments of the National Assembly. He was naturally called to the position of Chef du Pouvoir, and began with a resolute hand to repair the disorders of state. Fettered by tho pact of Bordeaux, ombarrasscd by the insensate demands of monarchists pant iug for an immediate king, embarrassed by the claims of the great republican cities, and driven to oivil war by tho so? cialists of Paris, the opening months of bis administration wore characterized by dissensions and perils whioh have seldom perplexed a ruler. The 18th of March found the great statesman in the ridicu? lous position of a fugitive from his own capital; the 22d instant saw tho Place Vendome the scene of a heartless massa? cre, and a mere accident on the 4th of April prevented Bergeret and bis 30,000 National Guards from seiziug tbe for? tress of Valerien. There the local Com? mune began to weaken; but Lyons, Marseilles, Bordeaux and Lille, exhibited rcvolutiouury symptoms. M. Thiers hastened to assure the republicans that the remainder of his life would be do voted to the establishment of an endur? ing republic, and that the only ambition of his laat years was to become a second Washington. Then he sought them to remaiu quiet aud pacific. They did. Ou the 22d of Muy Marshal McMahon's investing army began to conquer Paris, and on the 2d of Juue heaunounced the submission of the capital. Followed then the barbarous executions at Satory and the fearful reprisals dictated by the monarchical Assembly. There-organiza? tion of the army, the emission aud ab? sorption of tbo national emprunt, the gradual consolidation of tho temporary regime and tho evacuation of occupied provinces by the Germans wero the principal eveuts wherein M. Thiers dis? played an astuteness aud a vigor rarely excelled. In the meantime Henri V re? turned, temporarily, to Chambord, tho Orleans Princes took their seats in the Assembly and tho Bonapartists showed fresh activity. The situation became more perplexed. One day M. Thiers was the target for tho bitter denuncia? tions of tho Bight, and the next he fell ander the impatient suspicious of tbe Luft. Gambetta rose week by week, and became a power iu the tribuuo. M. Thiers saw that the question would become, not as to the form of govern? ment?lor tbe peoplo were decided ns to that?but "shall it be Thiers or Gambet? ta?" He wus for Thiers. Ho coquetted with tho Left. The Bight cried "Trea? son!" and tno "Pact of Bordeaux!" Crisis ufter crisis followed, and ngaiu Herald correspondents were sent to every part of France to await tho annual civil war. But tho skillful Parliamentarian, armed with the weapon of debate, controlled the factions from tho tribune aud calmed tho tumultuous Assembly at every ex? cited Bitting. Tho Bhrowd monarchists got tired. "Close his mouth," they said, "and his official days will be numbered." After a hard struggle, M. Thiers surren? dered his strong arm, aud thenceforth M. Dufauro beoame his spokesman. From that moment his power and influence have diminished. Tho lust few days of the session were characterized by many elements of dissension, but the coalition was too well orgauized, and Saturday morning M. Thiers closed his career as President of tho republic with a resigna? tion apparently voluntary, but in reality the most reluctant act of his eventful life. Whatever tho defects of temper, or the aspirations of the man, he has boon more to Franco than France has been to herself. Marshal MaoMahon has long been tho most popular man in Franco. Even the Communists, who encountered the strong blows of his army, thought him an idol. When the Emperor died, in Jauuury last, he was expected to go to the funeral, but from a souse of military propriety ab? stained. With that life, as Bouber said, "Bonr.parti8m was adjourned for ten years!"?New York Herald. Au educated professor is roaming about the wilds of Northern Pennsylva? nia, lecturing at "early candle light on the science of frenology and fysiology." ?tATiow.-TF.gr ??erj white or black man killed in Louisiana, for every outrage perpetrated iu that State, for murder, arsoD, riot and anarchy, for tbe disgrace? ful position we stand in before the world aa a nation, iooapable, for eight years after the insurgents bad laid down tbeir arms, of suppressing a rebellion which had well-nigh exhausted itself by four years of open warfare, the late Congress is directly responsible. The President gave Congress ample time to oonsider tho unhappy condition of Louisiana; the oourse ho had taken was known by the whole country, and (bat course, he intimated plainly enough, he should per sevoro in, unless Congress intervened by some act of its own to prevent. The subject was looked into by a com? mittee, whioh?Senators of Gen. Grant's own party concurring?reported that the Kellogg government was a usurpation, and that there ought to be a new elec? tion. But Congress did nothing, and the President choosing not to hoed the intimation that the * jport of the com? mittee gave him, now asss the power of the Federal Government to uphold tbe usurped government of a State. If be meant to do right, Congress neglected to give him the authority; if be meant to do wrong, they left him in entire free? dom to follow the bent of a perverse in ' olination. We suppose, however, now we shall have a .settlement of affairs in Louisiana ?the Bort of settlement that despotism always gives. How permanent it will be, how maoh it will tend to tranquilize the South, subdue tho rebel element and bring us all in accord in an indivisible Union of States, is another question. [N~ew York Evening Post. A gentleman of "elegant leisure," and a b tchelor at that, has been amusing himself with matrimonial statistics, and out of 200 marriages published in New England journals, last week, only two of the ladies had old fashioned names, such as Mary and Susan. All the others were Mollies, Dollies, Pollies, Libbics, Tib? bies, Biddies, Hatties, Patties, Mutties, Lizzies and so on. He Bays if he can hear of some girl with a familiar "Chris? ti in name," be shall "start for her." An Indiana woman has recovered $50 damages from a bar keeper, for the ag? gregate of "time lost" by her husband in the imbibition of alcoholic beverages on divers and sundry occasions. Inasmuch as it takes as long to swallow a draught of pure water as to ingest tho same fluid "qualified," the question arises whether an equally good cause of action against the corporate authorities would not lie iu tho caso of ladies whose husbands hud too frequent recourse to the town pump. Evading tub Sunday Laws.?A novel mode of workiug the "Sunday selling" business was adopted at Port Glasgow by a bbn l man who managed to get a liquor license from the customs authori? ties for a large sail boat he possessed, and embarked with his customers for a short sail ou the river, during which a good deal of whiskey was sold and con? sumed. Several trips of this kind were made on Sunday, the trade at last being interrupted by the local onstom officers. Mexico Opposed to Pabtttion.?A distinguished legal gentleman, perfeotly familiar with Mexican politics and with the Constitution of that country, says there is no probability of the United States acquiring any portion of Mexican territory with tbe cousont of that Go? vernment. The Constitution of Mexico expressly forbids the cession of any por? tion of its territory, and public opinion iu that country is known to be against it.

It will probably be named "Vulcan."

In Dodge City, on the Atobison and Santa Fe Bailroad, a muahroom Western town whero law is but slightly observed, one of these interminable talkeis was "yarning" in a saloon to a number of the rough idlers of the plaoe, strangers to him. The more loquacious the fellow became the more woary his listeners. Fiuully, not desirous evidently of meet ing the fate of the man in the cartoon, the listeners rilled the wide-open pockets of the Granger's sack coat with powder, which, at a propitious moment, they touched off, at the same instant dis? charging a con pie of revolvers around bis head. The stranger took the hint at once, stopped talking, and placed dis? tance between bimsolf and Dodge City immediately. ? ?? ? A most touching story oomes to ns in a* Western exchange, oonoerning a lady in Kentucky, who was stricken with a sudden failing of the optic nerve, and was told that she could not retain her sight more than a few days at most, .and was liable to be totally deprived of it at any moment. She returned to her home, quietly made Buoh arrangements as would occur to any one about to commence so dark a journey of life, and then had ber two ohitdren, attired in their brightest costumes, brought before her; and so, with their little faoes lifted to hers, and tears gathering for the great misfortune they hardly realised, the light faded out of the mother's eyes. The claims of a large number of dis? tillers for a refund of tax assessed under what was known as the "arbitrary role," which taxed distillers according to the amount of material used in distillation, j instead of the quantity of spirits pro? duced, have been taken from the files of the Internal Revenue Bureau and will be disallowed. The Supreme Court of the United States, in the decision of Biggs vs. the United States, sustained the Go? vernment in assessing taxes on distil? leries in the above described manner. Foot Tka.vjbi.bb*.?From a recent de? cision of the United States Supreme Court, we note that a policy of insurance against the perils of travel by public or private conveyance does not cover the case of a person who is beaten to death by highway robbers, while walking at midnight .to his home from a railway station. The court holds that walking is uot traveling by public or private con? veyance, these terms suggesting the use of a vehiole or vessel. Funeral Invitation.
