It is simple, full of senti ment, easily sung and al ways effective. The bands played it along with "The Girl I Left Behind Me" and "Down Upon the S’wanee Hiver" on dress parades. ' ’Lorena” was the "long suit" of the hand that used to play in Capitol Square, Kichmond, dnr ing tho promenade bonr, when the wealth and beauty and gallantry of the capital and the Confederacy were gathered there, But it was in the camps that vLorena" held court Usually tho first three verses fk?»d the last were sung by *the mess soloist at the fireside, while in profound attention and almost every conceivable attitnde the soldiers gathered aronnd. The lines— A hundred months have passed, Lorena. Since last I held thst hand in mine. And felt thy pulse beat fast. Lorena, Though mine beat faster far than tblne, were always regarded an very eHeotive. lint the reft! agony came in the last verse: •• 'ii. da.t to dust beneath the sod: Bui there, up there, ’tie heart to heart.' Men who never knew they possessed a »«,onl for mutio" sometimes* wept st this point. From the etandpoint of this age, there is something almost lndiorona in tho pio- tnres that "Lorena" must oall up to the thousands. The song is dead, like the bosta that heard it sung. Its tinea, not read or heard under the tremendous mental excitement of the war, tho memories of sweetheart., the part* bigs and heart-breakings, aeem cold and un attractive. Home people will call them silly. Bat they served their purpose, and ring yet in the memory of old campaigners, who have gotten to work again in the pur suits of pcaoe, and wouldn't walk a square to hear a Jenny Lind's warbling*. Home day, perhaps, the stage will give ns a sortby war drama, and from tome camp scene beyond the footlights, a pale facod boy in ragged gray will rise from the group about him and in a heady voice sing again: "Theyear, creep .lowly by Lorena." It there are any old Confed. in the honae at the time, they will be henrd from. ThsMists K»lr. I lliti Constitutions Insincerity.

Bartholdi says, speaking of Bedloe’a Island: ‘Yes, in this very place shall be raised the Htatao of Liberty, grand cs the idea which it embodies, radiant upon the two worlds,' This conveys the impression that the torch of Liberty was meant to shed its light upon two worlds—not to enlighten the people of the earth exoept in a broad sense.

Washikotox, October 21.—The task of editing the statute, of the United State* is f.rmed out by the State Department. The lour provides that more that $3,fS)U a year cannot be paid for this work. For n num ber of year* tbe job was given to Genera! Robert C. Hciieuok. Iio employed a young man of tbe uamo of Bassett, who did ILe w rk for a small percentage of the salary. Tbe General pocketed tbe geoerous differ c-nce for a number of years without doing one^Mt of the work. Last year Mr. Ilijat.l took this official plum away from him and gave it to Mr. Bryan, Mr. B*yard’a private secretary, who is a very competeut and active bosiuess mam Mr. Bryan wa* originally appointed in tbe Hta:e Depart ment as Mr. Bayard's private secretary. He waa.for many year, his secretary in ths Senate The salary of the private secre tary u *1,(MI0 a year. There haa been no private secretary appointed since Mr. Bryan tool: cbaige of editing the laws. He con tinues to do tbe private-secretary work. He i* Mr. Btyanl s confidential man, and is with him all day and a good portion of the night. A* he does the woik of the two position, it Is reas onable to suppose that he has two sdaries, unless that of tne private secretary is now coveted into tbe United States treasury. This will be shown when the Secretary of State makes his estimates for current ex penses to Congress. Mr. Bryan to-day is the most influential man in the Department of State. It is tbe era of the rule of prb vote secretaries. He is as clow and inflO' ential with Mr. Bayard a* is Colonel Lamont witb th* President. Awieunt-SeereUrv Porter, who oomee next in vfficial rank to Mr. Bayard, bis found that he hu another superior officer in Mr. Bryan This hi» msde him vesy uneasy and is tbe seoret of bie deair. to leave the department. Mr. Porter is e candidate for tbe Tnrkish mis sion, and if Ur. Bryan ia anxiona to have him out of the department be will nndoabt- ediy secure th* mission. inmates of dozens of gambling houses in the vicinity were nnsware of the lire at the outset, nnd it made such rapid headway that none had stirred from the tables until the lives of most of them were imperilled. Then a wild stampede ensued. The pro prietors hurried (heir gold raid greenbacks uto satchels, others shoveled ivory chips into bags, a few Dished down stairs loaded with roulette wheels, faro tables, and gambling para phernalia of all descriptions; bat these were exceptions. The majority of deilera, look-outs and players together came tear ing out of the buildings, many hatless and costless, and all frightened. After an honr’a work by tbe firemen the flames were under comparative control. At this tim=- aix men of the insurance petrol were in the building. They strewed tarpaulins over the stock of the Goodyear Rubber Ccmp^ny. Suddenly there was a terrible crash, followed by a dense wave of smoke and sparks, which puffed out into the street. The roof aod top floor had fallen through to the base ment, burying the men of the insnrance pa trol in the ruins. A minute after the crash a detachment of firemen and insnrance patrolmen, led by Chief Sweenie, rushed to the rescue. Tbe cries of tbe imprisoned men could be beard above all the din. Hardly were the men at work chopping and tearing away tbe fallen timbers snd splintered flooring, when there was another crash, and a heavy piece of machinery fell from the third floor. It was so far back in the building that no one was hurt, and tbe reacaors continued manfully withont stop. George Purneid was the first man out. He came up through a hole which had been made In the sidewalk lights over tbe basement. He was only slightly injured. William Darby also managed to crowd out of the ruins with slight injuries Tbe rescuing party found Captain Hume pinned down under a fallen beam, and wedged in between two boxes of goods. He was carried out, both leg? crush# 1 nud the left foot turned completely aronnd. P. L. Mnmie was dragged from under two heavy beams. He was cut abont the bead, and bis body was frightfully bruised. Gus Bcocigemenke was pinned down by a heavy piece of printing machinery so that all efforts to release him seemed useless. The imprisoned man clutched convulsively at the iron bars and wheels, begging his comrades to kill him, they could not get him out. The sewer of the bssement had becomo choked up aud the immense amount of water thrown into the btulding was rapid! rising under Booergemenke's eye*, whil tbe fltmee were gradually working their way toward him. Chief Swenie ordered an engine detached' from the fire plug and set to work pnmping the basement of tbe floods from tbe other engine*, whose ef forts were redoubled against the fire. Tbe waters had just reached Booergemmenke'a chin, when thoy began to go down and the flames commenced to recede. Witb Ihe sid of javkserews the machinery wa* at lu-<t raised, and Booergemmenke who, (or nearly three-quartets of nu hour, had given himself np tor lost, was carried to the hospital One of his legs is broken, and one arm rhattered, bat it is thought he will live. C. P-ippinean, aged 30, conld not be found, ana af-er a long teurch was given np for lost. It wan not until eleven Louis after that hi* body was fuand. In the recovery of tho corpse another Un man was fatally injured, aud a patrolman seriously wounded. Tbe fire and full of the roof had damaged many telephone and telegraph wire-. Gangs of linemen were sent to the roof, adjoining to straighten the tangled mans. They were requested to wait till tbe fireman' fonnd l’appioeau's body, but tbe wire-workers did not comply.
