Walking Gold Mines. “Four full tons of the purest gold is carried around in tho mouths of Philadelphia’s 1,000.000 inhabitants.” It was a well known dentist’s supply man that yesterday revealed this forgotten asset of the Quakin' City, and his array of figures was suilicient proof that the estimate is nigh to the fact. “It is not difficult.” he went on, “fur us to tell how much of the precious metal is yearly rammed into the aching teeth of Philadelphia. It is something short of 3.000 ounces. Now the average length of human life we will say is 35 years. Multiply the two together, and we have an approximation to the sum total of gold that, an army of dentists have placed in the molars and bicuspids of ail those now living in this city. It is 8,750 pounds, or about four long tons. “As to the value of this unfe. innately unavailablewealth.it is ove; ¥2.500,000. The gold used in the trade is worth $25 an ounce, so that a year's consumption costs $75,000. Such figures make one feel like unloading his ivories of ail their treasure and substituting some less valuable metal.” “Your figures are, all right,” said a prominent Walnut street dentist in confirmation of the supply man’s esti mate- “And just think," he went on, “what a gold mine some of our cemeteries ar a There must be $100,000,000 worth of shining gold m all the acres of burial ground about Philadelphia. But the veins are full of flaws, and gold-mining on the body-snatching plan would hardly be a success.”— W* i. nil ph J) itt Jtpwd

A FOUR MILLION FIRE. DEATH AND DESTRUCTION IN NEW ORLEANS. Slxty-threc Thousand Bales of Cotton Feed . the Flames—Hundreds of People Homej less—Two Children Burned to Death—- ; Three Firemen Injured. Fleven Squares in Ashes. Property valued at $4,000,000 was destroyed and a hundred or more persons robbed of their homes by fire at New' Orleans, Sunday. Flames w. re discovered among some cotton in front of the so-called fireproof pres^ on North Front street. The department responded promptly, but the wind was so high and the cotton so dry that it burned like tissue paper. The firemen worked like demons to arrest the progress of the flames, but all their efforts were unavailing. Chief O’Connor sounded a repeated alarm, which brought more engines to tho scene, but they had no effect whatever. The woodwork cracked and ' fell to the ground and tho bright flames leaped upward from every part of tho compress. After three repeated alarms a general < alarm was sent in, and all the engines in the city, tvith the exception of two or three, were called out. The fireproof press had about 10,000 bales of cotton stored in it. This was entirely consumed. In half an hour after the flames had started the fire-proof press was totally consumed and the Hames communicated to an adjoining press. In this press was stored 50,000 bales of cotton, some of which was taken out to a place of safety. The major portion, however, ' tvas in flames in a short time, and it I was impossible to save it. Suddenly a small flame Avas seen to ’ leap skyward from a corner of the Independence press. In a second almost tho

entire square was ablaze, and the flames formed almost a solid block of fire. In the yard were stored some ten thousand bales. This proved excellent fuel for the flames, and in a little time it. was : consuim d. The total amount of cotton burned, as near as can now be ascertained, is esti- > mated at 80,000 bales, held by factors I and commission merchants, and covered ; by their open policies. Much of this t cotton will l e sent to the pickeries and I saved,*so that the total loss will prob- } ably not exceed S3O a bale, making tho j total on cotton between $2,000,000 and $2,250,000. Loss on presses and sheds i estimated at 'lJo.oou. It is thought the j lire started from a cigarette which some i person threw among the cotton. While the tiromen were lighting the t cotton fire an alarm was given of another । at I auroland Third streets, about twelve • blocks away. I he fire began with the sacrifice of two young lives. A little daught-Tof Mrs. \ ahmtine was fill ng a coal-oil lamp when it < xplo led. '1 ho Haming oil was thrown over an infant sister and both children were burned to death. The Hames spread out on their mission of destruction making a huge funeral pyro tor the unfortunate little ones. Chief O't onnor sent s veial engines to the scene, but before they could get down to active work a dozi n houses were in flames. Alarms were sent in ami • very engine on both sides of the river was summoned to the scene. The heat wms intense, and for this reason it was almoaf inv>.i <t...ftm.r-.m noagthe

The Springer free wool bill was the only subject of discussion in the House of Representatives on tho 30th. In the Senate the Indian appropriation bill was resumed. and the discussion which was beguh last week on the subject of army officers being assigned to the duties of Indian agents was again taken up. After much debate, Mr. Hawley moved to amend the House provision by adding to it a proviso that whenever the President shall ho of opinion that the good of the | service especially requires it, he may ap--1 point a civilian.
