To day ia the anniversary o£ that awfa Monday which dawned upon a ruined city eighteen yeara ago â€" a city of uruuibled walla and smolaeriiig embers, a uity of homeleaa refugees. Far to the northward the billow of lire waa :itill sweeping, devour- ing aa long aa there was anythiug to devour, inundatmg bomea and property, and turn- ing into ashea with its liu'ry spray ilia boarded savings of the people. The fagi- tivea took refuge on the lake shore, even preaaicg into the water as far as they dared, while upon them raiued cindera. Truly to 1 3em it aeemed that the world itself waa come to an end. Tbe aigna were fulhlled. The elements had melted with fervent heat ; the moon waa aa aackuloth and the sua aa blood ; the heavena rolled together aa a loroll. In the mad rush for a plaoe of aafety the oommoa inaiiuutH of humanity, the oonaid-jration for the comfort of othera which makes life ordinarily endurable, were ail forgotten. " Save himself who can;" waa the univeraal cry. The aveuuea of escape ware ohoked with vehicles, and many fell never more to riae. Scarcely leas awful laan the vision of the Apoca- lypse muat have been that day. Tue featnrea of the people, diaiorted by fear, blackened by oindera and reddened by the heat, iu little resembled thoae of human beings. They were more like thoae of " shapea hot from Tartarus." It is bard to picture all thia. It ia hard to think of Chicago, now so populous aud so proaperoua, lying an open waate from DeKoTen atrset northeastward to Linoolu Park ; yet ao it waa. The south weal gale swept the tlames before it, and iu that mighty reverberatory furaaoe iron burned like resin and solid stone crumbled into flakes. All day long the lire raged, ever eating its way northward. Night oame and the cool rain fell upon thousands of homeless ones whose only ahelter waa the sky and wboae only bad waa tbe earth. Sorely if ever there waa occasion to despair then waa that uucasiou. The hoardings of a lifetime had bean destroyed iu a moment. Capitalists were penniless. There was nulbiug left but stand- ing room ; yet that waa enough. The mournful toll of the court house bell as it crashed downward from the bia^iiug cupola was not the death- knell of Chicago, aa waa feared. The great lire was only another exempliHoation of the groat economic spy- ing in regard to civili/ jd aa well as savage oommuuitits of men : They live from hand to mouth. 80 long aa there were hands to work and a place wherejn to work the city oonld not perish. A writer of the time saya that within a week Chicago was as well off aa ever. Thin may have been an exaggeration, but it 13 certain that in a very abort time it was aa though the great fire had never been. " All gone but energy" waa a buainesa sign frequently seen in the days which followed hard after that disaster. Nothing more waa iieooed. The prophecies that Chicago would rise again have all been fullilleil. Bhe haa risen again, and more glorioua by far than ever before. ~ Chicaiiit News. The luveutluu ut the Xhliuble.

The usefulaeas of the article oommen led it at ouoe to all who used the needle, and Lofting acquired a large fortuue. The implement waa then <3alled tbe ihumbbell, it being worn on the thamb when in uae, and its shape auggeat- ing the reat of the name. This clumsy mode of utiliaing it was aoon ohangeo, however, but the name softened into " thimble" remains. A Door ou the Trauk.

When the case of the Ontario Canning Company against William Burgeaa, on trial in the Circuit Court, was adjourned on TucHday iifternoon to yesterday morning, and tbe jury were leaving the court- room, one of the number, Addisijn Rica, reached over and haudui a am»ll note to Egerton UeCew, the Secretary of the Canning Company, who happened to be standing near by. U was addressed : " Mr. Carpenter. Keep thia note." At the tirst opporinaity Mr. DeOew gave it to Mr. Carpenter. Imagine that gentleman's surprise when, upon opening the note, he found ita concents to be aa followa : l\Ir. Carpenterâ€" I sball jury. If you waut lutlu H' strBota, at 7 11. in.

Mr. Carpenter, who is the President of the Ontario Canning Company, imme- diately turned the uritninatiug letter over to Lyman Baker, hia attorney, asking if that was the way justice waa done in Erie county. Mr. Baker, Judge Corlett and the other attorneya in the case had a oonaultation, aud when tbe court uonvened yesterday morning Juryman iiice waa called to the desk by Juoge Corlett and confronted with his remarKablj epistle. " Did yon write that .'" aaked the Judge. " Yes, sir," responded Ktce, although considerably abashed, " and 1 can explain it." " You appear here at 2 o'clock," said the Judge sternly, and he would hear luthiog further at that time. The trial then pro- oefdcd with II jurymen. Shortly after 2 o'clock oourt reconvened, and Mr. Kioa waa once more called up for examination. Upon being given permis- sion he proceeded to make an explanation of hia frorda and action, stating that he bad desired to enter into business relations with Mr. Carpenter with reference to the sile of some canned goods. Judge Corlett evidently thought this ex- cuse a very poor cue. " The import of the note is perfectly clear." said he. " You intended to â-¡u;<otiate in regard to the ver- dict in thia case. There can be no coiiuec- tiou between your being a forumau on the jury and canned fjoodii. The court cannot overlook an offence aa serious as thia, for it strikes at the very foundation of the administration of justice. " You have been guilty of ooutempt, and as the offence waa committed in open oourt summary act iju can be taken. 'The aen- tence of the court ia that you be lined daO and confined in the Erie County Juil for 30 days." A k'ttAXUU UHOUU AUUKN. Thv Htrttii}f() aad K<iiuaDLic Htory B«ceutly Bevenled by a ^t. L,oui» Divorce Ciwc-, In a divorce oabe filed the other day iu the St. Louis Cironit Court, entitled Marian Miller vs. Loais Miller, there ia a most atrange and romantic history, saya the New York ilonUitg JounuU. Twenty- live years ago Louia Miller, then of Si. Felersburg, Huasia, waa married to one of tbe nobility of that oity, a beautiful lady of high birth, possessing all of the aooom- plishmeuts that education sjid rednemunt could bring. After tbe marnaiie tha oouple BJttled down in their native city. The country was at that time tbreatjned by the Nihilists. Miller decided to leave hia native laud and try bis fortune among a free peo- ple. Bidding hia wife a fuw months' fare, well be came to thia uouatry and settled in Si. Louiu. Here he uuterod into business anil accumulated a fortune. During all of this time he was Binding money to hia wife and receiving letters from her, but in a few montha after be left home his mother, with whom be left his young wife, diod, and the w (e left to join her friends, 'lOO miles in the interior of Kussia. All of Ibis time tbe mails were very irregular, and, by ordera of the Uusaiiin authorities, letters hardly ever reached their duatina- tio 1. The youug wife received no letteis from him and be received uone from her, until one day a letter came to him with the sad tidings of her death. Years paaaed. During ail thia time the young wife could get no news of hor husband. Thinking bun lost she oonolnded to visit this coun- try and learn if poaaible what bad become of him. Bringing with her their son, who bad grown to manhood, she lauded iu Bal. timore, and the sou oame to St. Luuia and ungat'ed in business. Meeting some frienda one day they asked him where hia father waa, aud he told them tie story of his father's life. They sail the son looked like a man they knew, aud be sent to bis mother for a picture of his father, which was shown hia friends, who tooK him at ouoe to that gentleman. But in the mean- time, in July, Wtil, the father bH,d married again and was living in line style in this oity. Uis first wife came to see him and tbe meeting between them was one of joy and sadneaa. Both wives, it is declared, loved the husband, bot the good judgment of the last wife did not forsake her, and she said she would release him to again live and love his bride of years long gone by. Aoting on ibis resolution she baa, as stated, employed oounsel to bring a anit to releaae her aud him from tbe ties that bind them togetbor. Serious tlooda have occurred in the Tyrol.

Ho Oives Hit First Iiniiretuiiuus of the Ualt«d Si»t«it. (Frank Leslie's Newapapor.) Frank Lealie'a illnatrated weekly has done me the honor of desiring to have a brief memorandum of the tirst impressions America makes on an Englishman. The natural answer would he, especially for one overwhelmed with pleasant engagements as I am, that the impresaiona of a traveller who has but passed over some thousand miles of these vast I'uited States must of some necessity prove trivial aud valueless. But, on the other hand, drst impressions are always the freshest, and Talleyrand showed hia usual cynical ^'igscity when ha remarked to a young politician, " Never iiJt up Jii your tirst impreasioua ; they are always right." Well, then, aa I have paaaed from Can- ada down to Waahingtou, and from Waah. ington through Baltimore andFhdadulphia to thia great and wealthy metropolis, my chief impresdiou haa beeu the absolute practical identity of mauuer, mind and national life between our two couutriea. I have f jund myself everywhere in a trans- atlantiu England. I do not sav thia in any foolish id>a that to be "quite I'^nglish" lea point of perfection. Y'ou may ju-it as well remark that we resemble y )u ; hut there the fact ia that bygone writera must have eiaJgprated moat abaurdly the suppjsed distinctive American traits.or eis â-  that you have ceased to exhibit them, for I Uave asked myself a hundred times, wandering in your streets aud jonri.ryiug ou your railways, " Am I really 111 the New World, or dreaming of it in ilm ulil one "' Half an American aa I »m. by mariium^ uiut by aympathiea, I must confess that it haa bf^en wholly delightful to obs rve ihis unmiatakable and minute ideutitioation of the races, and it tilla me with hope that, whatever other nations may 'juirrei aud come into armed cuiiUict, America anil England â€" vainly divided by thu ocean â€"will by aud by establish an In- ternational Tribunal oompoued of the wurlliiest aud best-trusted men ou either side, and will refer to their jodg- ment under the laws of right and reason â€" without appeal â€" every ijoestion which threatens to disturb the natural alliance that, in my opinion, furnishes the very best hope of mankind. Next, your magni ti(!eut diatances, although I knew them well upon the map, amaze aud absorb me iu reali/.ation. It ia wonderful for a British Islander to discover what a mere atep upon your broad Slatea a tbouaand miles make, and to conclude from what he aeea what must be the life, the enterprise, the opulence, the energy, tha natural and industrial reaourcea, the booodlesa lu'.ure pessibilities of the territory he haa not sceu. A feeling of gladneas and oonlidence about tbe earthly part of man'a deralup. meat beyond all expression haa possessed me in perceiving how strong and sound your national vitality is ; how little yon are really spoiled in courtesy of manuera, in civic kindliness, in social grace, and iu reverence for law by your large liberties. An Eogliahman no doubt notices here an absence of deference and of formal atten- tion ; bat he also notices tbe presence of a nearly universal and moat manly aud frank comradeship, the bloaaom, perhaps, of a wider and healthiur air. I am far from saying thia to flatter America. I'he im- pertinence of sach an intention would be rebuked by its absurdity. 1 would be like the little girl whu waa taken by Sydney Smith tu see the tnrtle-tanka at Birch's in Cornhill, »ii I when she stroked the largest among the collection, her uncle imjuired : " Why do you do that, my duar ? " " I do it to please the turtle, uncle." " My child," replied the Cauon, •' you might aa well stroke the dome of St. faul'a to plosn^ the Dean and Chapter." A man who should, as It wore, pat the oupola of your Capitol at Washington to gratify New York, would bo similarly ridiculous. Your nation of tiU.OUU.UUO stands well beyond the reach of compliments. History rather waita to see if yon will deserve the gifta and oppor- tnnitiea whioh destiny haa brought you "in both her hands." To apeak of the countless delightful per- sona whom I have had the happiness to meet, is obviously forbidden ; suilice it to say that your countrymen and country- women oblige the Englishman to quit each of their towua and cities with regret, ao that Hu draf.;s at oftuli rHiuo\-o a lon^^tliouiuf^ eliain. And then, how beautiful America is ! I certainly did not know the valea of the Susquehamia and of the Delaware were so fair ; or the gardena of Washington so gracious and spacious ; or your homesteads generally ao pretty. I better understand now Mr. Lowell's veraea: Hindint^ tliii i^eld of war-diBhevolled hair On such awoot bruwa aa novor otlior wore. But nobody, to my mind, haa better un- derstood, or e.xpreaaed more nobly, the present aud future greatneaa and the natu- ral oharma of America than your true poet and patriot, Walt Whitman, my interview with whom, when I offered him the tribute of a profound admiration, will be ore among many happy memoriea of this journey. I should not be an Engliabman, however, if I did not grumble, and you must allow me to denounce and execrate the cobble- atonea of your New York atreeta that rob the Briton of sleep by night and rack hia bones by day ; the anake fences, which waste alike land and lumber, and torture tbe eye of an artist ; the lack of oHioial luf^gage-portera at your railway stations, and those iiionstrona, ugly, unpainted tele- graph poles, with which you mar tbovistaa of your liiieat streets. But your public buildings often astonish and enchant me ; your colleges, libraries, museums and ob- servatoriea leave positively no exoaso to American youth. They muat heuoeforth create and not import poets, authors, art- ists, Bcniptors, scientitio geniuaea and astronomers. You really owe us, with all your glorious ohances, a gola.xy of great names. Stich, then, sir, aro some among those (irat impressions whioh yon have been pleased to invite. Tliav will appear to yon. I fearâ€" aa to myaelfâ€" entirely oom- monplaoe, but I prefer â€" at least while in America â€" to show myself grateful oveu at the uost of being dull. 1 am, sir, yours obediently, Eixvin .Vunoi.ii. CUBING CUL.DtJ.1 Hiuts That May tinvG Life Time. ir Taken in When one becomes chilled or takes oold, sa)s Yinitli's Ci>mp>tniiin, the mouths of myriads of little sweat glands are suddenly closed and the impurities which ahould pass off through the akin are forced back to the interior of the body, vitiating the blood and putting extra work nn the lungs and other internal organs. Just beneath the surface of the skin ail over the body there is a network of minute blood vessels, line- than the tiuest lace. When one ia chilled the blood is forced from these capillary vessels into one or more of the internal organs, producing indammalion or con. gesiion, and thus often causing diseaaea dangerous to life. The time to treat a cold ia at the earliest possible moment after yon have taken it. And your prime objuot should be to restore the perspiration and the capillary circula- tion. As soon, then, as yon feel that you have takeu cold have a good lire iu your bedroom. Put your feet into water aa hot aa can be borne and containing a table- apoouful ol mustard. Have it in a vessel HO deep that the water will come up well toward the kiieea. Throw a blanket uver the whole to prevent rapid evaporation aud oooliug. In from live to ten minutes take tbe feet out, wipe them dry and gel into a bed on whiL-h there are two I'Xtra blankets Just before or after getting into bed drink a large glass of lemonade aa hut as possible or a glass uf hut water oou- taimng a teaspooiiful of croaiii of tartar with a linle sugar if desired, Shuuld there be psiii in the chest, side or baek, iudiottiiiig pleurisy or pneumonia, dip a small towel in cold water and wring it as dry as possible. F Id the towel ao that it will cover a little more surface than ia affected by the paiu. Cover this wiili a piece of lUnnel and both with oiled silk or better, with oiled linen ; uow wind a strip of tlannel a foot wida aeveral timea around the chest. The heat of the body will warm the towel almost immediately, the oiled linen and tlannel will retain the heat and mois- ture and, steaming the part, will generally cause the pain to disappear. Should there be pain or soreness in ttie throat yon should treat it in a aimilar manner with wet com- press and dannel bandage. Eat sparingly of plain, simple food. Baked apples and other fruit, bread aud butter, bread and milk, milk tnasi, baked potatoes or raw oyalera may be eaten. By following the above directions intelli»!ently and faitufnlly yoa will ordinarily cheek the progress of the oold aud preveat serioas, posaibly fatal, illness. A yPAMUB HIUALOU'S 1>UAVBB. Peculiar and Ludicrous Mixture of Family Pride uud Urvad ul Ucatb. One of the most peculiar and oomioft mixtures of a dread of death aud family pride occurs in a prayer whioh a Spanish nobleman composed for his own benefit, aaya Texas Sijttmis. The prayer reads literally as follows : " O Lord, Thou aeeat before Thee one of the greateat of all aiunera of thia wicked woria, Hia Highneas Grand Marshal La Meilleraye, Duke of Ma/.arin, Knight of Alcantara, Knight of the Golden Fleece, Graudoo of Spain of the lirat class, Gov- ernor of Eotramadura, Count de Menard, Baron la I'orte and Grand Honorary Pro- tector of the Church of St. HoohuB, where His Highneaa partakea of the aaorament live timea a year, hia offertory never being less on each occasion than lUO peaoa.

Readers in many branchea of trade will be glad to know this method of estimating brickwork, which ia obtained from an authority on the aubjact : Ordinary brioka are about eight inches in length aud with the mortar joint about half that in width, so that each brick on tbe fiat will give a bori/.ontal surface of about i'i si|uare inches, or four aud a half bricks will cover a Bijuare foot. Aa ordinarily laid there are nine courses to every '21 inohea or four and a half to the foot. Four and a half ooursea with four and a half bricks to the couree will give '20| bricks to the cubic foot.
