Special lo the Republican.
Today at 5 o'clock fire ?was discovered in the big four story building occupied by Eastman, Schleicher & L?e as a furniture and carpet store on Washington street just east of Meridian street. The fire originated near the roof it is supposed from spontaneous cumbustiou as there was no lire about the building. ^j.O iving to its height and the high wind it was impossible for the firemen to make much head way against it.
The E. S. & L. building was destroyed with the greater part of its contents the clothing store just west of it and the building occupied by the Big Four ticket offices, corner Washington and Meridian streets. The fire gsing east also destroyed the Indiana National Bank which had just lately been rebuild and refurnished for the bank at great cost and the U. S. Express Co. building just east of the bank. The buildiug on Meridian street occupied by the W. U. Telegraph Co. was burned in the upper stories. The firemen at this time about 10 o'clock secured control of the fire and prevented its further spread. The report that it had reached the New York store was a mistake. Great damage was done but of course was well covered ,by insurance as such men know the importance of insurance.

Deafness Cannot be] Cured
By local applications ai they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the infiamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

GKEENFiELUstauds an excellent show of securing a North and South road from Maxwell to Fairluncl. Meu who are on the inside with the officials of the Big 4 railroad say they look very favorably upon the project. From the nature of the country passed through, the road could be built in-expensiveiy and from its location it could easily be operated by the Big 4 in connection with their Martinsville branch. Suwh a road Would gne Greenfield and Hancock county an ou-iet to Cincinnati and the South, arfd via Shirley an outlet to the North. It would also give us another East and West outlet. Greenfield would through cheaper freight rates, become a better^ gram market, making the farmers from one to three cents on jjevery bushel of grain. It would also make freight rates to Greenfield lower, whereby the farmers and citizens of Greenfield would saxe additional money on their purchases. It would ike express rates lower, bi'iug more property into the County for taxable purposes wUicb won!'! lower the tax rate. It would give Greenfield and other points in the County additional inducements to secure factories. In fact-^tliere are hundreds of arguments and reasons why we should have the cross railroad auci none why we should hot. A cotumittee of gentlemen will in ^th9 near future wait upon Prudent Ingalls and other Big 4 railway officials, and present the matter to tliem iu as torciole a manner as possible. Since they are already favorably disposed toward the road it looks like it certainly will be built soon.
LESSON OF THE LILIES.
Dear lilies of the field, they grew In sweet profusion by the road, Where passed the Sunday people through
To worship in their church abode.
'•Why are we daily wasting here?" The lilies asked in mild complaint— "There is no shade protecting near.
In lioat and dust we often faint. 'Twas cruel of our Lord to make His flower children suffer sol" Then answered one, "For his dear sake
It might he here we ought to grow."
There passed that way a maiden fair, In spotless for church arrayed. She saw the lilies blooming there— '•I'll gather them to wear," she said.
That morn a youthful preacher stood To break the bread and speak the prayer.. Then waited in a thoughtful mood
To find his inspiration there.
"When soft to her accustomed place The little maiden gently trod, The preacher bowed his anxious face,
And in his spirit prayed, "Thank God!"
Her" was his test, his sermon, too, "The lilies of the field," he spake In worua of love, with meaning new.
The bread of life to them lie brake.
And in the little maiden's eyes He saw delight and sweet content, Th.-n said the lilies, growing wise, "Our Lord this very lesson meant." —Mrs. M. L. Payne in Detroit Free Press.
A LOCK
OF
HAUL
Tho city of Megara lay smiling in the Summer sun. Its marble palaces, its tall columns, its tower.s and turrets were gay with flowing pknne and flag, for it was a feast day. The sun liad been up only an hour, but already the streets were swarming with children, who hud ri.seu early to gatLer Hewers to decorate the temples. Soft laughter rose on the fragrant air, and looks of trouble were for the time east aside.
Could one conceive of a more peaceful and contented people? Yet sincere as their happiness was now, it was only as a ray of broken light streaming through a rift in the dark clouds.
For Megara was besieged and the camp of the enemy lay just outside the walls of the city. A truce had been declared that the people might celebrate their holy rites to the gods.
And so, grateful for the lull in the strife which for six months had borne heavily upon them, the people threw care to the winds and put all their hearts and souls into the pure pleasure of, this one blessed day. They heeded not that this reprieve was but the false hope sent by a cruel fate and that the darkest hour of their trial was coming swiftly on silent wings.
The people now passed in throngs, all gayly attired in their holiday clothes, which for months had been put aside. It was time for the ceremony of sacrifice, and the young maideus, dressed rspotless white, with white flowers entwined in their locks and trailing over their flowing robes, looked like seraphs, with their young faces all aglow with holy enthusiasm.
On a smooth, rolling plain, covered with its natural carpet of green and dotted with flowers which seemed like a sprinkling of sunbeams, the altar had beeu erected. The procession formed slowly, the white robed maidens coming first, chanting and swaying slightly to an easy dancing step. Then followed the youths of the kingdom, their boyis1 voices taking up the strain of the maidens, swelling it louder and rolling it over the long ranks.
When these had formed a circle about the altar, along avenue was left clear, and then the glory of the procession came into view. Six tiny maidens, clad in rainbow hue, held in their hands masses of flowers intwined about ribbons and leading by them a snow white bull. Its horns were like ivory and shone in the sunlight. No flower or ornament was needed to add a charm to the perfect animal.
Walking beside it, her arms thrown caressingly around its neck, was the pride of the kingdom, Scylla, the king's daughter. She was tall and slight and as graceful as a reed. Her dark hair hung about her in lustrous coils and swept over the back of the bull. Her robe was of cloth of gold, and deep purple amethysts fastened its folds and glistened from her black hair. Other ornaments she had none.
Closely following her was Nisus, the king, suiTOunded by his guards. He, like his daughter, was tall and dark, with the same kind of hair, except that one lock, falling over his shoulder, shone purple, like the light from her amethysts.
No wonder the daughter loved the purple stone, even as Nisus treasured the purple lock, for it reflected the light from that lock on which depended the safety of the country.
The children led the bull to the altar. Scylla stood beside it, till the king approached with the gleaming knife. Then, with a low cry, she threw her arms about the creature's neck and pressed a kiss on its white face. But her grief did not interrupt the ceremony, and the sacrifice was made.
When Scylla reached home, she went up into the high tower of the palace, from which she could look down over the whole city and beyond it. Outside the walls she saw, as she had seen for the last six months, the camp of King Minos of Crete, and beyond the wide plain the ocean stretching out, out, to liberty. For though she was a princess, Scylla felt like a bird in a golden cage.
As she looked down over the camp and watched the tents a figure issued from one of then. During the whole time of the siege she had watched tho enemy from the tower, and had learned to distinguish the officers by name. And he who but now emerged from his tent was no other than King Minps himself.
It was easy to know him from the others, for, tall as they were, he overtopped them all, as a great oak in the juidst of a beech grove. Then, too, his bearing was that of a king. That noble brow revealed a character grand, good and jnst. In fact, the king was what a king should be, and when, dressed in bis flowing purple, he rode his white horse,
he had all the charms that a knight could wish to win a fair lady's heart. And Scylla looked till he passed from her view, as she had done every time she had seen him.
Then wild thoughts coursed through her excited brain. How cruel a war was, yet she blessed this war that brought Minos to her sight. But how terrible if h6 should be killed. Oh, if only peace might be had, she would have offered herself as a hostage.
Then came the wild thought of delivering the city up. She could easily do it, but one obstacle was in her way. The fates had decreed that so long as the puiple lock remained on her father's head the city should stand. It needed but that she should remove it and all •would be well, for surely Minos would be grateful to her and she -would be happy.
And then came the thought of that father's shame and degradation, but only for a moment, as one thought after another coursed through her mind. She felt that she could pass through fire and water to seive Minos, yet that was not needed. Another woman would dare as much, and cottld any one dare more than she:
Then the victory was won, but not on the side of duty. And only then, when she had fully determined on her plan did she find peace or test.
That night she arrayed herself in her richest robes. Never had she looked more beautiful. The graces themselves might have envied her. And Nisus smiled a welcome to his daughter as she entered the banqueting hall. All traces of her grief at tho sacrifice had disappeared, raid the king was glad.
Scylla suffered all his attention and endearments, but hurried to her apartments as soon as she could. She feared lest her resolution might weaken and so her happiness be forever lost.
How many of us have sfood in alike position, with all the seasons for and against our actions crushing us down, our life and death in the balance, which a breath could give or take!
It was after the midnight watch bad been called and the palace was sunk in slumber that a figure enveloped in a dark cloak glided through the wide corridor to the king's apartments. At the door a challenge rung out, but a moment later the sentinel knelt and the princess passed in to her father.
Nisus slept, and the daughter slowly approached his couch. How noble he looked, but the girl steeled her heart against him!
A moment later tho dark figure fled down the corridors as it had come, but agleam of triumph shone from the eyes and love and victory struggled for mastery in the countenance. And the king slept on, but the purple lock had left his head forever!
So Scylla went thr«uj^i the dark city and left it behind her as the passed the wall through a secret %ate. Swiftly she entered the camp of the enemy and demanded to see King Minos.
When the king beheld her, he thought so lovely a woman had never before walked the earth, but when holding out the purple lock she said that she gave up her city, her father, herself, he spurned her from him. "Shall Crete," he cried, "where Jovo himself was cradled, 1 ig polluted by this monster? Infamous wiSmau, begone and may neither land nor sea aiford thee a resting place!" "Alas!" cried Scylla. "Fortheehave I given up everything! Aye, I am deserving of death, but thy hand should not be the one to deal the blow!"
But Minos would have nothing to do with her, and the next morning, giving orders that equitable terms should be allowed to the vanquished city, he sailed away with his fleet.
As the ships were departing Scylla jumped into the sea, and grasping the rudder of the vessel that conveyed Minos was carried along with it till an eagle, into which her father had been changed, darted down and pecked at her with its beak and claws. Scylla cried for mercy, and some pitying deity changed her into a bird.
And to this day the eagle pounces upon the gull, ever seeking vengeance for the old crime.—^Virginia Horton in Philadelphia Times.
Eighteenth Century Children.
A book published in 172(5 lays down rules for children's behavior and gives an idea of what was considered proper deportment for boys and girls in the early part of the last century. First, of behavior at home. Children must always bow on returning home they must never bo covered in tho house they must not sit doWn without permission they must never address their parents without a title of respect, as sir or madam they must not approach their parents or elders without a bow. Next, of behavior at table. They must not sit down till they are bidden, nor till grace is said, nor must they ask for anything, or help themselves, or speak at table, or look at others eating. Thirdly, of behavior in company. They must enter the room with, a bow they must not speak till they are spoken to they are not to cross their legs or sit with their knees wide they are not to laugh loud, but silently smile they are not to point or boast or to interrupt.
Imagine an American youth of today "silently smiling" if anything struck him as being funny and think of our infant terribles waiting until they are spoken to before they address their elders. It is just as well that the good old author of this book is dead he would be made so dreadfully unhappy by this century's children.—Chicago Post. "Auld Lang Syne." "Auld Lang Syne" is of uncertain origin, there being several versions of this deservedly popular song. One of the best is by Burns, but only the second and third stanzas are by this poet, Jhe remainder being from the pen of Ramsay. The song is of uncertain antiquity. One version is dated 1716. Another is said to date from the sixteenth wntury.

The Banner of Light is, as every one knows,one of thonxost successful denominational publications issued in this country.
In its 77th volume it is at once conservative and bright, discussing not only modern Spiritualism, but frequently lending its influence fearlessly iu matters of public importance outside its principal field.
Mr. John W. Day, who is the editor and one of tjje proprietors, writes in The Banner of Light as follows to the proprietors of Paine's celery compound: "I owe you a debt of gratitude in placing OH the market suotl a nerve-easing and and soothing remedy as Faines' celery compound. It was brought to my notice by a frieud who had himself been greatly relieved by its use, as I have also been. "I have frequently taken occasion to commend Paine's celery compound to others, and I do not know an instance wherein, if faithfully tried, it has not worked a benefit. "Yours truly, John W, Day."
