At five minutes lo 7 o'clock hwt evening
a general u'nriii from l-ox N'o. 40 conveyed
the information of some serious conflagration in Hie i erv heai t of town. It WAS SOOlt
learned that the l.in:;bnui Hotel ims in

Tnere wag an entrauoe on "Wabash avenue and one on Adams street, the hotel bar aud restaurant being on the latter street. . - It wus built iu 1871 by William B. Butdiok, a well-known lumber merchant, and a former County Commissioner. It Was then iiftmod the llurdiek House, and fur some years the hotel was ran under that name. ' Afterward it- was partially rebuilt and improved, and called the Crawford House. The management of the MesBrs. Crawford did not last very loug, nor was it very successful, a good deal of litigation resulting among the parties rawing the hotel. ljist fall the prorerty was sold to William B. Howard and- Columbus B Cuwmings for the handsome sum of $2fc0,CWi, and ivirutiv Messrs. 0. M. Shaw & Son leaied 'the hotel and espeuded nearly sir, nftii in iimiK venic-nls, fitt us, and

About 1 i guests were living nt the house at the time, and of this number thirty were in tbe restaanvut at supper when the fire broke oat. Those employed in the hotel numbered fifty persons, of whom fifteen were chambermaids. These giils were all on the topmost floor of the hotel, and escaped with great difficulty, the smoke rolling up the elevator shaft and stairway iu such dense masses that escape w.is ne'arlv impossible, and suffocation seemed imminent firikose above, even rt few minutes after theBfng of thefirstnlarm.

How "Oath" Learn! to Use tlie Weed, As soon as the American boy is born and lias been a few times flogged, and has played truant once or twice, he thinks it is necessary to smoke or chew. The first superb experience he has is that of getting sick over tobacco. I can well remember when my mother sent me on a certain occasion with a small tin can, Huch as was then up to our manufacturing quality, to bring some milk or cream home to flavor the coffee. Au: elder sou ot thunder had given me that afternoon a small piece of tobacco carefully knifed offhis plug. He recommonded that tobacco as entirely inuosious, and tho proper tiling to begin upon. As I went along with the milk-can I nibbled at the tobacco. There was something iu it indulgent aud enticing, yet not wholly wholesome. By the time I got home with the milk such movements were going on in my head that no Presiden
tial election and no battle 1 have ever
seen matched with them. I got down on a log for they were makinff a new well in the yard and
put my head over the grass and struggled to lose my stomach. I have often lost it sine with one-half the exertion. My mother came out and sympathized with me; my brother, who was of harder material, said I had been chewing
tobacco. We made a majority against
him of one, and it was tlecteea that i had a delicate nature, fine tastes, and was entirely above chewing tobacco. But I have never since had an encoun
ter with tobacco in that form.
A little later on I tackled tlie cigar.
The flrst cigar did not make me sick, and that was my ruin. A large row of
brick houses has since gone oowu my throat on account of the failure of thai
cigar to do its work. The second or
third cigar piungea me mm ouui tion of curious intoxication, where I
was drank not only in the whole upper
story, but it appeared to me that I had the drunks of a hundred men all condensed there. Nevertheless, such w the depravity of human nat ure, I persevered smoking, and occasionally do it
now. -
Gladstenii's Appearance tuid Tastes. Gossip about great men is always in
order. People never tire of reading
accounts of the appearance and habits of men who mold public opinion and
govern the world. Gladstone has lieen described over and over again, but in
such a way as to leave tbe impression that he is "rather a stately personage.
Nothing eonld be further from the
truth. The great Premier is a mildlookiug man, with baggy trousers. He is a regular prowler. He prefers back streets. He never dresses well. People frequently see him in a tumbledown hat and a shabby suit ttanding in front of the window of a lnip-a-brae store. His face is striking. It is hard and bony, with a powerful forehead, a firm mouth, and a characteristic nose. He is, as evervliody knows, a close student, a devoui church-goer, and a great lover 'of negro minstrel songs. Altogether, an odd character. Atlanta Constitution. tieorge Kliot's Vtisdtiiu. Oud of the lessons 11 woman most rarely loams is never to talk to an angry or a drunken man.

llimate of the Soudan. From the Pall Mall Cazette.l We pubUshed a few days iigo au interview
with Sir Henry Oreeu on the subject of the employment of Indian sepsys in the Soudan. Tlie following remarks by Sir Henry upou elimatie influences, which we hud not space to print then, may be of interest uw: ... . And what about the climite, Sir Henry.' said our representative. "Well, lhos. who have been iu Scinde are not likely to be scared by the Soudan. As I spent most of my li e in those baking deserts, 1 ctiu not lihare the alarm expressed by many cor.cernmg the prospects of a sim mer in the Soudan. In Scinde i i have beat so terrible that sometimes you may see horse roll over with sunstioke ia all directions, but I have very seldom seen any European down with nunstroke. Tbe cauB.- is the evcessive dryness of the heat. When the air is so dry you parspire profusely, oud the perspiration saves your life. When the atmosphere is damp, the perspiration is checked, and after sunset men die like rotten sheep of heAt-apoplesy. In the rera:ari eaimmigu we camped out from October to October near Peshawur, one of the hottest pi ices yon can find in all Asia, n..l our si.-k ns oiiiv a uer cent.; wt.ile on

which would have a.-eimatett tue runs bad there been the least humidity in the atmosphere. "As regards the making of the runway between Knakiu and Berber, tbat railway would probably have lieen made long ago but for Lord "Granville. Everything was arranged; the Duko of Teek was to be the Chairman: we had a very powerful sud influential directorate. A financial house had agreed to in ise all the money that wan needei, the Egyptian Government was to guarantee 1 per cent., the whole work waj completed on paper, when it was suddenly brought to nothing by the antipathy of the Pashas of Ca'ro to any scheme which diverted the houdan baffle from the Nile to the Bed Sea. 'You have taken away half our trade bv making the eanal,' they said, ..,.i v.'m n-niii. to bike awav the Test by
vn.,v milo'nv.' Tbe scheme was stirlisd; but
one word fi'oni the Government would have secured its execution. That word Lord (Sruiiville emphatically refused to soy. The Soudan lay altogether beyoud the sphere of our interests, they said. ISo the railway was never commenced, with results which' you know only too well. I naturally disbelieve the stories as to the necessity for running through tubular tunnels on account of the sand-storms and moving aand-hills.

The whale place looked like a huge bonfire surrounded by a brick wall, so completely was the light wooden structure of the interior within the power of the flames. From the main Cior to the lofty cornices, both on t he Wab tsh avenue and Adam street f:onts, the flames leapel to the skv, canying everything before them, as thontrh the interior of the bui'd'ng was but so much dry linde;?.

The New Envoy Extraordinary to Turkey. iWashiiiKto 1 S!etal.) Considerable s; lprise as expressed today when it wa .earned that Representative S. S. Cox, ol Naw York, had been : nominated by tha Piesident to the Minister to Turkey. It wait known to the friends of Mr. Cox 'thit he was growing tired of Congressional service. Several times last winter he talked abmt resigning his seat in the House to engage in literary pursuits, but nose suspected that he had any desire for f utther public service in a different department of the Government. Mr. Cox is one of the best known meu in Congress, having for the past twenty-four been a Uciilative. brilliant, and use
ful member of the House. He first en. tered Congress in ls57as the member from tbe C ilnmbus, O , district, and served eonliauo.ly as the member from that district until 1H5, when he removed to Xew York. He ogaiu entered Congress as thu representntiv of a New i'ork City district in 1869. and bus served continuously since thit lime, having Iwen re-elected to tho next Congress. The worV in Congress with which Mr. Cox will be best known in the future, is the life-saving s. i-vice, which he was inf.trimiental in establishing, and over which he his watched with commendable zeal nnd great enthusiasm. The present efficiency of that service is ina.uly due to Mr. Cox's care and vigilance aided bv the efforts of Mr. Sumner I. Kind all, Chief ot the Life Saving Bureau u i 'at also uer formed yaluabie work in
tie preparation of the legislation under whii.li tha tenth census unis taken. Mr.
Cox is a man ot hbjral education, ana is the vctkor of several wcrks iu which his observations while traveling in foreign lands are narrated. At pi-esent he is engaged in the publication of a volume giving his recollections of federal legislation during the three d-'cades eudwg with tie envroxt year, which will include per onn! and historical memories oud events preceding, during, and subsequent to tbe civil war. The intended and varied exp? ience of Mr. Cox in public atmirs and his extensive trove in oreign lands qualities him to buionie on efficient diplomatic representative. He is not without experience ia the foreign service, haviuiibeen Seore'ary of Legation at I'eni during the term. of Presid. nt Pserce. His appointment gives great satmfactiou to those who served with him ii Congress, aud is generally spoken ef as ail excellent slec'ion. It is believed thai Mr. Cox accepted the mission to Tu-ikey in order to secure opportunities for travel and observation in the Orient witho view of produc. ing a work on the countries and peojrte of the East REBELLIOUS KIEL.
