Those Little On., from Homo.
From the Cbipley Leader.
A certain good looking married man from
Columbus, came up a few evenings since, and
concealing tbe fact of bis marriage, be wss in
vited to go outf visiting with a crowd of young
men. His prior experience soon enabled him
to be the lion of tbe evening. Tbe girls
gathered about him (a certain young lady in
particular) in crowds. Some of the boys,
growing a little jealous, went to the piano and

has done got afeared to live with him; and as
to his daughters, why, these yere mountain
boys had to up an' marry tbe last one of ’em
to keep the old man from abusing ’em—when
he was drunk.” Only when he was drunk!
What volumes that utters as to the chivalry
of tbe mountain boys! And what do you
think of ‘a real good man' like that? And
tbe pretty pessimist drew down the comers
of her mouth ;but her bands were very tender

“They ore all respectable,” said our opti
mist, calmly. “They have more distilleries
and fewer marriages here than there ought
to be; but every one seems to feel justified.
You we no air of effrontery, doubt, defiance,
or degradation in the face of any young
mother who comes calmly into church on
Sundays, with the baby in her arms, just as
the married women do. Society is not bard
on the poor things, and their families bold to
them. It is very strange, bat the doctor says
that is the secret ot many late;marriages and
keeps the door open to restoration and re
formation. They are not given up aa lost and
abandoned.”
"Foor souls! They need to be tangbt, they
need schools and pastors," said the enthu
siast, sadly. "They have lived 'out of tbe
world’ always. In Sunday school I didn't
find a scholar who had been taught the ten

Atlanta was visited by another destructive
fire yesterday, and more than fifty thousand
dollars worth of property) fell a prey to tbe
Dames.
At about ten o'clock in the morning two
negro portera were engaged in the bssement
of the wholesale drug bouse of Howard it
Candler, at 47 Peachtree street, preparing to
put some barrels of varnish on draught.
While thus engaged, a bright flame
flashed up around them and tbe cloth
ing of one was caught and partly
burned oil. His companion tore the burning
clothing from him and in the meantime both
cried “fire" as loud os they could. Mr. Dan
Candler, who was luperinteningthe shipping
of some goods at the rear of tfie store, also sow
the fire and gave the alarm. The (lames
flashed over the basement, which was filled
with inflammable material, and the men who
were in there narrowly escaped. The
smoke which . was created was
exceedingly dense and quickly rushed u
into the second floor and boiled out at eacL
end of the basement. The second or side
walk floor was occupied as a salesroom and
prescription department. The smoke rushed
up through the elevator and drove out those
who were engaged at work there. From
there it poured up tho elevator to the
third fioor, occupied as the laboratory
of tbe establishment, where Professor
Peacock and three young ladles,
Mias Lula Y'oung, Mist Georgia Buchanan
undone other were engaged at work. At
that instant a wild confusion and intense ex
citement prevailed. So rapidly had the smoke
taken possession of tho bniidlng that the
-roung ladies could not see their way out.
They screamed and made a break, but were
taken possession of and safely taken to one of
the second story windows on Peachtreo street
and were banded down a ladder. No sooner
had the excitement in that part of tlio
building subsided than it broke out afresh in
the second story of the building adjoining
and having n side on Wheat street. The
room over-looking Peachtree was occupied
by Captain Simmons. His room was envel
oped in smoke hut he walked out on an
awning and easily escaped. The next rooms
were occupied by Doctors II. F. Scott and A.
S. Dyar and tbe rear rooms were occupied by
Mrs. Foy as a dressmaking establishment.
The two doctors became aware of the
nearness of the fire nnd prepared to
leave the building, but on opening their hall
door they found the halt as black ns night
and the smoke blowing up the steps like fury.
The door was closed, and they turned their
attention to the side of the building overlook
ing Wheat street Almost instantly a gust of
wind sent a cloud of smoke around the corner,
amt from that time the building was en
veloped in smoke. Mrs. Foy is in New York,
and two of her young lady assist
ants, Misses Jennie Brown and Carrie
tihcltOH, were in tho dressmakers’ room
with Mrs. M. J. Ivy who had gone there to
give some instructions about making a dress.
They saw smoke and started out only to find
the smoke in the hallway so dense that they
could not get out through it. In the excite
ment they were screaming ”savo us! save us!”
aud two of them ran into Dr. Dyar’s office.
Miss Jenuio Brown got lost In the smoke and
went into another room and fell fainting on
tbe fioor. Hhe struck her face on
tbe fioor and bruised it ami which
it was supposed revived her. The ladles wan
ted to jump out but were prevented. One
negro man sprang to tbo sidewalk from tho
second story and a little boy named Buzbue
was banging on by a window sill and was
caught by Dr. Scott and pulled back. To add
to tho excitement it wus discovered that a
blind man named Helper was among those on
the second floor. In spito of - the great ex
citement however, tlie ladles were kept in the
rooms until Chief Ryan aud Messrs. Leach
and Watkins of the hook and
ladder company could put up
ladders aud tako thorn out, In that way
they all escaped without Injury of a serious
character. The scenes described were dra-
tuatlo In the extreme and asa strong armed
fireman would bear a lady safely to the
ground the crowd would send up a hearty
nimrisu m* fibs.
As soon os the lire was discovered the alarm
was turned on and tho reel3 an trucks left
the houses on the second tap of the bell.
There was not a aecond’s delay. The rcela
ran to tbe spot nnd ono hose was attached to
n Peachtree- street hydrant, to play on tho
front, and another wosplncod on Pnrorstrcet,
to play on the rear of tho building. Tills
work was done by the foreman, whtlo Chief
Ryan and tbe hook and ladder men were res
cuing tbo women. Tho water was turned
on and, to the horror of tho firemen, mi
impotent stream witli no force whatever,
spluttered out and fell a few feet from the
nozzles. There was no pressure whatever be
yond the usual domestic pressure. The en
gines had come on. but as it Is the uni
versal custom to use ths water works at first,
they were not steamed up. Tbe order wo*
given to steam up, and Chief Ryan turned on
a second alarm, thinking tbilt theengineersat
tho waterworks must have not noticed tlie
first alarm. These delays occupied about fif
teen minutes, and in the meantime the fire
wot burning rapidly. At the expiration of
that lime there was plenty of water, and it
was used to goal advantage. Streams were
furnished by engines and tho waterworks.
When the crowd saw tho water fail at tho
commencement of the fire a general feeling
of disgust was plainly seen, nnd much fear
was felt for the safety of tho
buildings in tbe neighborhood. Luckily,
