In St Paul the woik of woman suf

was a good deal of wire pulling, and
committees of ladies went from bouse
to bouse to beg votes fur the right
ticket. The wife of a prominent mer
chant, soon after sunrise and at break
fast, gravely informed her husband
that she liked it and would vote at all
of the other voting places before din

jrood deal of scolding was indulged in
over the repeating of the women.

FIRE m CANADA.
A Correspondent of MofJluYe's 7itef
uoder date of Ottawa, Canada, May
16, writes t follows of fife in Canada :
It is CM of the curses of (hit Otta
wa diitrieT (hat the farmers nevr learn
anything by experience. Spring after
spring comes upon tbem and Wet or dry
they continue clearing and bcrning;
along the ground, making it ready for
the next year's work, and utterly re
gardless of the drought tbry let the
fires creep on until the -fences are io
flames aud the "bad master, good ser
vant" runs on to the next farm, aud
perhaps the boues and barns of a
neighbor aie destroyed, or if not, the
families are choked with smoke, work,
ing uight and day fighting the fire.
Llardly a summer goes by that this does
not bsppen in a great or less extent.
After the fire in the summer of
1870, when hundreds of families Wore
made homeless and had- to escape from
the flames by wetting the clothes and
wading in tbe Ottawa and tJateneeu
rivers by the shore, the burning trees
and flying coals singeing their Lair the
while, one would think the lesson well
learned. On tbe day tbe poor creatures
reached tbe Capital, half naked and
starved, taken into houses and bo'.els
to be fed and sheltered, they found tbe
eity already black and gloomy, buaioesa
suspended, every atore closed and every
man, high and low, turned out to fight
tbe fires, to wet the roofs of bouses and
watch and report further disaster. Tbe
mills were stopped, the men all employ
ed, day aud night, to keep damp tbe
lumber art the Cbaudiere 823 acres of
piled planks. TLe eity bad no fire en.
gioe then-, tbe neara power on two of
the river boats wss employed, and Og
densburg and Montreal were both sent
to for engine. The smoke was so thick
io tbe eity that a carriage could not be
seen a block sScad, and tbe darkness
increasing all tbe while. Not a speck
of blue sky bad been seen for four
weeks, and cone of roe terror-stricken
who feared the city would be conssraa
ed, were calculating the strength of tbe
Parliament buildings to resist tbe fire
or praying and crying alternately. The
fire was traveling fast and was within
two boars of the city when, as a last
resort, tbe canals were cut and all
around the eity was flooded. In new
Edinburgh, the villsge neareat tbe erty,
where is situated Lord Dufferin'a resi
dsnce, the people bad their carpets and
their furniture takeo out and burned,
or else packed in boxes ready to sink
or already soukeit in the river. One
merchant, Allan Giluioor, lost 6,000,
000 feet of lumber. A farmer named
Robinson, in flying through the words
with five children, wts forced to drop
two of tbem on tbe way.
Many of the incidents of tbe fire
were heartrending and terrible. The
railroad tracks were torn up and the
telegraph poles were burned down. 1
was in tbe city tbe day tbe excitement
waa at its height, and spent some time
in tbe hotel in which most of the suf
ferers bad taken refuge. The sound of
weeping was beard all ov. tbe bouse.
1 remember one poor woman clinging
to her husband in terror, beseeching
him not to leave ber, for be was going
ont with some other men to a scene ol
distress to carry food and blankets for
some of the hungry and aiek. He was
a handsome, manly-looking young
Scotchman, and though be did bis best
be could not qniet ber by telling ber
that be a atroog man and could not stay
there idle when so many needed bis
help, lie told me afterwards that they
bad lost their "beautiful borne" and
all that was in snd around it in a few
hours. A great many of the poorest,
who were taken in by the generosity of
the people bad insufficient clothing and
no money with which to buy any.
Many of the citixens sect in webs of
calico to make them dresses. Some of
the ladies at tbe bote! essayed to work,
but did very little for crying, and kept
aayiog that perhaps they would never
live to wear them. There was a pretty
settlement of private residences a few
miles from Ottawa, "Bell's Corners,"
that was burned to the ground noth
ing saved in less than four hours ;
bouses and bams burnt like, indeed
quicker than punk. Before night closed
the city became ca!n:er with tbe assur
ance that it was out of danger, but the
sorrow for loss of property and life
will long be remembered.
Ottawa bas provided itself with fire
engines and other protection since then,
sad its builders bave been generous of
their stone, such firm foundations are
replacing tbe little log cnbarre once
characteristic of Ottawa when it was
on tbe map as "Pytowu." There is
little danger, thsugh much discomfort,
now from tbe fire, tbey are probably
fifty miles off albeit, tbe room in
which I write is uncomfortably redo,
lent of burnt pines, and also painfully
consjious are tbe eyes of your corres
pondent. Terrible Affliction.
Early on Tuesday morning a week,
a tragedy occurred at Liltie York in
York State. Tbe place is a flag sta
tion on tbe Syracuse and Biogbamtoo
railroad, and tbe station bouse was oc
cupied by Frank Derringer, section
foreman. Abont 5 o'clock be started
the fire in tbe kitchen, and with bis
wife went serosa tbe track to tbe barn,
leaving their five small childien asleep
in the bonse. Tbe mother returned
from milkiug' shortly afterwards, and
foutid tbe house in flames. Calling
ber bnsband both went into the bnild
in, but could not reach the second sto
ry on account of the flames. Both
were severely burned. Tbe children
were all burned to death. It is tnp
poeed that tbe firs caught from the
kitchen firs.
A llurderer found.
On the 21st or Febtaary hnf (he
body of a dead man waa found con
cealed io a brush heap near the Graog.
er's Encampment; St Elm Station, in
Montgomery county. The body was
taken in charge by the authorities of
that eonnty, bat for s long time no
trice Of (he man's identity could b
found. But patient and unremitting
researeh upon the part of the district
attorney bas at last been rewarded by
the identification of tbe body and the
discovery of the n.urierer'. Tbo facts
of tbe ease are substantially as follows :
Oe waa a young German by the same
of Max Hoehne, who came to America
in 1875 to seek his fortune. Arriving
in New York, be stsyed there umil his
uinney was spent, when be pawued bis
trunk aud went to the Centennial. Here
be undo tbe acquaintance of Henrlech
Wablen, by whom be was murdered to
ward tbe close of the Centennial.
ills body was eonCeSled several months
before It was discovered. Hie mur
derel, through tbe letters and pass,
ports found on his body, was able to
personate Lira-. He wrote to tbe mur
dered nrtrn's rather, requesting money.
But the latter had read io tbe German
Dtwtokrat an account; of the murder,
and be thought tbe murdered man re
sembled bis sou. In consequeoce be
wrote a description of his son's appear
ance to Coroner Pieroe, of Ardmore.
The description tallied exactly with
the dead body. The detectives' tbea
concluded that they were on tbe right
track, and by carefully following" up
the traces that crime always leaves
they at last found tbe murderer safely
lodged in King's county penitentiary,
where be bad been incarcerated for
burglary. Tbia crime and tbe discov
ery of the perpetrator are among the
most singular on record. For a long
time it seemed completely removed
from detection; but the end was at
leogtb reached, and tbe ain was fully
found out. The murdered man's fath
er is Frederick Hocbne, who keeps a
restaurant in Berlin. Tbe detectives,
it is said, bave not a link missing in
tbe chain of testimony, and tbe foul
murder will do doubt be fully avenged.
Struck a Log.
The Baton Konge steamer Saody No.
2, while on ber trip down the Mississ
ippi on Monday night a week, stru:k a
log some five miles above New Orleans
at about midnight, and soon after com
menced to sink. The alarm was at
once given, aud tbe passengers rushed
to tbe upper deck. Some saved them
selves on cotton bales, while most of tbe
women and children were placed id tbe
yawl and landed safely. The steamer
buoyed by the cotton floated down tbe
river, with the water two feet deep in
the cabin, When passing New Or
leans skiffs went out to ber and took
off tbe rest of tbe passengers and crew.
It is supposed that three of the latter
were lost, she boat turned over.

My Koom.
Some ludicrous mistakes are narra
ted about tbe occupaota of the suites
of rooms at hotels io Washington which
open upon little balls, uniform in ap
pearacce, coonsoted by long corridors,
and which are furnished alike. One
night Senator .Mangum, of North Car
olina, a diguified gentleman of tbe old
school, had returned from a party when
Senator Upham, from Vermont, came
in without any ceremony, and took a
seat. Tbe two chatted away until tbe
clock struck one. "'Really, Governor
Upham," said Jfagum, ! am always
pleaaed to see you, but I believe it is
getting lata." "I have thought so for
some time," replied Upham, but made
no movement. Tbe half hour sound
ed, and .Vangum remarked, "I tboogbt
Governor Upham that yon bad decided
to go to bed, sir?" "So I bad," awn
sered the Vermonter, yet be did not
budge. Mivguta stared at him in
amaaement, and at last said, "why
don't you go to your room? it will soon
be two o'clock?" tYMj room, why
this is my room, and I have been waif
ing for you to go away the last two
hours." .tfaogum sprang to bis feet,
looked into the sleeping room adjacent
and found that be was in Upham's
room instead of bis own.
Hungry Wolves.
A Russian peasant was traveling in
a sleigh along the banks of the Pruth
not long ago, and his wife and fonj
children were with bim. Suddenly
tbey were pursued by a pack of wolves
Tbe peasant whipped bis horses, but
soon perceived that the wolves were
gaining on bim. When the hungry
beasts were on each side of tbe
sbeigh the worthy peasant sieted
bis youngest child and threw it in the
midst of his pursuers, and while tbey
were struggling over tbeir prey be
lashed bis borses and gained ground.
Four times the wolves came bp with
tbe fugitives, and each time a cLild
was thrown (o tbem. At last tbe peas
ant and bis wife arrived at tbe nearest
villiage,. Tbe mother went before tbe
nearest judge and made complaint
against ber husband for abandoning
his children to the wolves, bnt tbe fa
ther was acquitted on the ground that
he was striving to save bis wife's life.
The wife may bave had misgivings tbat
if tbe tillage had been a mile further
on be would have pitched bef Into the
snow after tbe children in order to
protect himself.
