How a

Great Fire Started.

How the terrible fire which has destroyed the village of Moor, in Hungary, originated is thus told by our Vienna correspondent: A farmer's wife was

iron-

ing in her kitchen, using a flatiron filled with charcoal, when a spark flew out and set fire to her muslin dress. In her fright she ran into the courtyard, where her husband and his people were threshing barley.

The barley caught fire from her, and was no sooner ablaze than the wind blew the sparks in all directions, setting

fire

to the thatched roofs of the houses, which stood in two long rows forming the main street. All was so sudden and

people were so dumfounded that for a little time they could not even call for help. Most of the heads of families were in the vineyards and their help was not available until they had been recalled by the alarm bell. The old people and children in the houses had not presence of mind enough to save themselves.

In Hungary it had not rained for a long time and the wells contained no water, so that nothing could be done to save even single house. In all 109 houses were destroyed and 134 families were without a roof above their heads, the harvest was over, and the corn in the barns was consumed in the general conflagration, which was a terrible spectacle as night came on. ~London News.

A Wealthy Bull Fighter.

The most famous bull fighter in Spain has just retired from his profession. His name is Frascuelo, and he is as rich as a Croesus. He was a fearless matador: nineteen times has he been wounded

nigh unto death. The last time he barely contrived to pull through. All the time he lay sick at his house in Madrid the nobility and grandees sent thrice a day to learn of his condition. His farewell ben-

efit was a notable occasion. The railways organized excursions from all over Spain; the arena simply swarmed with people. Twenty dollars was the price demanded for even the poorest seat.

When Frascuelo appeared the people stood up and cheered for half an hour, deluging him with flowers and lace and gold pieces. The spectacle itself was an ordinary bull fight. Franscuelo's percentage of the gate receipts was $6,000.

When he came ot leave the theatre 200,000 people stood in the street to see and greet the popular idol. Paris Letter.
