Owing to the almost entire abtenco of water, doe to tbo prolonged drouth, the fire men were not able to use their apparatus, And aided by the west wind the fire spread rapidly. After destroying 300 bales of cotton, Denmark'- douring mills and Kornegay'a iron works, I swept away three blocks of the finest business houses in town. In nil twenty-seven buildings were destroyed, causing a loss of about $300, 000. The insuranre is estimated fit $200,OOt But for a chance in the wind tha entire town would probably havo been destroyed. The houses in parts of tha place caught fire, tbo woods in tho vicinity were ignited, and masses of leaves in tho atreete rapidly spreiul the flames, so that half the population had to fight fire to save their home#.

With seven hounds and four hunters we loft camp yesterday morning at dawn for a day's run alter wolves. When an hour out of camp the baying of tho hounds in a coppice to the right of us told us that something was started, and the noxt minute a Innk gray wolf, with fix cubs streaming after her, dashed out into the open ground and ran past us so close that we might have killed her with a revolver: but something like pity stayed every man's hand and we Jet her go by ua without a shot. The cubs were evidently 4 or 5 months old, and kept well up with the mother, who moved over tho prairie like a gray finale. When tho dogs finally broke cover she had disappeared around the face of a hillock, to the top of which wo spurred our faeries in order to aoo the remainder of the chase. In tho course of a few minutes it plain to teo that the cubs wore dosing their wind, one of them falling behind so rapidly that ho waa almost in the iawa of the foremost hound, and the others, wnito keeping aheadj giving every evidence of distress. Tho mother wolf waa not moving at her best by any means, and if she would abandon her cubs the dogs might easily escape, but instead of doing that she suddenly wheeled around, wbilo the cubs kept on forward, and doubling square on her tracks closed with the hound woo was in the lead, and not more than taa paces from the exhausted young one. Before the dog could recover from his surprise, she had him by tho throat, her long, white teclb rutting through skin and muscles, then clos ing and tearing out wind-pipe, jugular vein and gullet. It was on!/ a single bite, but tho spread and strength of her jaws as well as the sharpness of her teeth made it fatal. Then she humped up her back and in ten bounds had regained Uio lost ground and was again in full retreat in tho center of her family. In tho nature of things, ho wever, tho cubs could not stand the killing pace; they fell behind in ones and twos, and the result wan a foregone conclusion???at least it wss so until the mother adopted a new set of tactics. She started oil at a right angle with tho line, pursued by the cubs, swerving in her course so as to bring herself very near to the hounds, apparently with the tmrposo of attracting the those to herself. Throe of tho dogs ac cepted the invitation, and presently wore out of sight in tho rough country to which she I'd them, while the remaining- two busiod themiclvcR with tho cubs now left to their own devices. At n rattling pace we set off across Ihe coun try in the direction token by the old wolf, and procntly from an elevation discovered the chare not far ahead. The dogs were rapidly gaining on tho prey, and wo spurrod on in order to b?? in nt Uio death. In its eiscn- tiols this method of hunting wolves is similar to tho English sport of fox-hunt ing, largely d??*ja*nding for its pleasure upon prod horses, fleet, sharp-nosed hounds and the spice of danger always attending a break neck ride over a rough country. But our sport waa not morred by any sentimental pity for tho victim, as tho killingof wolves is a utilita rian service, appreciated ns well by hunters as ranchmen. They not only kill and maim enormoua quantities of *wild game, but do net scruple nt entering a ranchoro's barnyard and carry away young hogs, sheep and even young calves. The oastorn method of getting rid of troublesome domestic animals is in vogue here against wild leasts to a groat exit ut, and thousands of wolves are yearly killed through devouring poisoned rural prepared for them by the farmers. The run was but a short one, and before one drew near enough for the effective use of our shotguns tho dogs hsd dragged the tired ani mal to the ground and wore tenriug at her throat. Wolf skins in tho frontier market bring from $1.50 to $3 each, and as every pelt wo captured during the hunt was to fall to the share of dim, our rook, he waa probably the most eager member of the rbnse. He rode info tho tniok of tho fight, and kicking the dogs to tho right and left, had tho akin stripped from the ani mal before tho blood had done flowing train its throat. In tbo course of the morning wo ran down three other gray wolves, and auceooded In ???booting a coyote os well as an antelope for dinner. MARK TWAIN???S FUN. HE AND MR.

Mark Twain and George W. Cable gave readings last evening in Chickering hall to an audience which filled ever/ seat. It waa diffi cult to aurmise from a glance over the sea of faces who had paid to laugh and who to listen to Mr. Cable???s descriptions. Mr, Cable's four readings were from his novel of "Dr Lcvier." Instead of readings, his performances were recitations, delivered with intensity that ap parently made the author oblivious to every thing cave his effort to body forth the pictures in bis mind. An elocutionist would find small praise for his gestures, and frequently the wrong word was used by mistake. Yet Mr. Cable wa y cheered heartily at the close ef his first^recitation, in which he had asnumed the characters of Norcisso and John and Mary Itichling. When Mar k Twain walked on the stage, with hi* chin recently fbaved nnd perceptibly pow dered lor the o<'cnaion t hit unruly hair like a halo around his head, and his discouraged ex pression of countenance, he was welcomed with a prolonged clapping of hands. Without ap parently recovering his spirits, he sauntered to the reading desk, felt for it with his right hand, found it, and begaa: , , Jt lx <-iKiit or nine yea n since I bode good-by for ever to tbo lecture platform In this very hall, Since tbnt time some Hungs sad and xome tnlngs joyous have happened to us all, to tho country nnd to all the nations of tbo tArlh. 1 will not stop now to ?????? ??? ??? a burglars never reform.

Then he turned and added: Well, there's no telling. I'll make no more promhes. Now 1'Jl begin bin!ness and giro a short chapter from my new novel, "Huckleberry Finn."

Thousands of Them Kept Straight by a Single JOog. From the Philadelphia American. An immense drove of sheep went stumbling, tumbling aud trotting out of Newark a few days ngo on their way to Philadelphia. They xeemed to walk oil over one another, bumped together and crowded until It seemed a* though some must hare been trodden under tbe feet of tbe others. A rough looking countryman trudged ahead In tbe middle of the road and the *hocp followed closely. He xccnicd as dusty, ill-humored and out of sorts as the sheep themselves. In tho rear a tall and gaunt farmer tramped along, with a long hickory stfek in lita hand. At every few xtops he uttered a peculiar cry, and whenever tho xhcep legged behind he touched them up with his hick* oxy stick. At bis heels, and bringing up the tail end ol the proccsslou, was a long-bodicd. lesn and ???caned shepherd's dog.

Jim had heard of him, but ho wanted to know more about kings generally. How much did they got? "What! $1,000 a month? Wasn't that gay, and what did they do for it?
