building and contents, valued at ifSJil, was
completely reduced to ashes. No insurance.

& Co., in Brooklyn, were destroyed by fire.
Hie building was a four-story brick. The
f re was caused by a dog upsetting a lamp.

Take Leg; Bail.
Charleston, W. Va., January 4.—Last
night excitement was caused here by five
prisoners escaping from the county jail.

lock (ho prisoners in their cells, one pri-
soner knocked Dick Wyatt, a guard, down,

LABOR HATTERS.
A COSTLY STRIKE.

gmeral resumption of work in the river
coi l mines to-day at the reduced rate. A
further reduction in wages is probable in

millers engaged in the strike lost (100,000.

ples, rolling-stock, barges, etc., by long
idleness, can not be estimated.
Sullivan's Change oi Heart.
New York, January 4.—Sporting men
here are discussing a marked change in the
behavior of that king of sluggers and prince
of posers, John L. Sullivan. Since his
an ival in this city, two weeks ago, he has
visited his usual haunts, and astonished
barkeepers by imbibing non-intoxicants,
instead of w'iue, as he did on the oc-
crsion of former visits. He has, moreover,
(allied very little about lighting and fight-
ers, and generally expressed the wish that
those who have challenged him to battle
time and time again would do well outside
the ring. He has also called in a friendly
way upon men whom he sometime ago re-
garded with anything but a friendly spirit,
Mid smoothed over (lie old-time defiances.
This has been notably the case in his old
dispute with Billy Madden, who coached
liim in his earlier days and managed him
while he was gaining wealth and fame as a
knocker-out. Three years ago they quar-
relled in Louisville, and never spoke until
a few days ago. Sullivan surprised about
a do.-.en of his friends recently by present-
ing them with watches and chains and other
tokens of friendship.

Richmond, J anuary 4.—On Otli of J line, 1832,
Tom Sellers shot and killed Morgan Berry,
in Fort Bend county, Texas. Sellers after-
ward made his escape to Eureka, in Na-
varro county. About four days ago Sellers

was living in Nashville, Tonu.,but the post-
mark on the letter showed this to be false.
Sheriff Garvy, of Fort Bend county, took
the necessary steps and effected tin' arrest
of Sellers at " Eureka as he was coming out
of church. Sellers had assumed the name
of Calhoun to escape detection, but the let-
ter was a fatal means of his identification.

A Japanese Idyl.
Hongkong Mail.
The following chaste idyl is taken from a
Japanese vernacular print. A young wo-
man named Mat.su, who is 18 years old and
the daughter of Senor Hcijiro, a farmer liv-
ing at Okazakimura, Yamashiro, has de-
veloped an extraordinary taste for litera-
ture since her childhood. She went to
school in Kyoto when 10 years of age, aad
made such rapid progress that, shortly af-
ter entering the elementary school, s'.i i
passed into the higher institution main-
tained for the education of girls, ffiii.i
there Matsu acquired great proficiency, a i l
in addition to the usual sub jects taught, ob-
tained a good knowledge of the English
language. Last month a nobleman offered
her his hand in marriage, bat she declined
to accept him, sagaciously pointing out that
unions between per., oris of such dissimilar
( rank could not be expected to result iu tin
happiness of either party. She said that a
farmer's daughter is better fltt-'d t) mat)
! with a farmer's son than to be the bride of
: a peer of high degree, and she thereupon
returned home, where she am .ise.l liirsel?
in her spare time by teaching1 the neigiib >i\s'
i children. Is she not a most exounlar/
i ycung woman!1 _

" 1 may look strong, but I 11111 quite young—

mill tough, and rich, and don't require a sup-
port. Hut what causes you to look so thin of
late?"
" Weil, I hardly know," replied the Antl Pot-
ash Boom. "My physician tells me that my
abilities have been overrated, and that while
trying to whip out all opposition by boast and
brag, I have proven my inability. Old ago is
also creeping 011 me—having fought near rlfty
