Mr. W. L. Brown has received a
~| very nice letter from Grand Master C.
F. Lumsden, of the 1. 0. O. F.,tender-
ing his sympathy to all the sufferers by
the recent fire here, and especially to
~the Odd Fellows in their loss.
The Grifton Fire,
Information reached here this morn-
ing that Grifton had been visited by a
disastrous fire last night. The Reriec-
TOR wired for particulars and obtained
the account given in another column.
Greenville is prepared to fully sympa-
thize with our little neighbor in her
loss.
Burning Chimney. (
About four oTclock this a~terneon
there was more excitement here over
the sounding of the fire alarm. It was
caused by a burning chimney at the
residence of Mr. Jobn Flanagan. Both
fire companies and hundreds of people
were promptly on hanu, but fortunately
their services were not needed.
Still Doing Nothing.
Charlotte had an election Tuesday on
the question ot issuing bonds for water
works, and the measure was carried by
alarge majority, 1159 votes being cast
in favor of it while only 148 were
against it. We imagine thatif the peo-
ple of Greenville had an opportunity of
expressing themselves upon a water
them would be found in favor of it. But
those Councilmen whose obsiinacy has
become so prominent seem osot in their
ways,� and will not do anything them-
selves nor even give the people a chance
to express themselves.
GreenvilleTs Big Fire.
On Sunday morning, just after mid-
night, by the careless dropping of a
lamp, fire caugbt in a barber shop un-
der the Opera House in Greenville,
which terminated in the most disas-
trous conflagration the town has ever
undergone. Twenty-three " buildings,
fourteen being brick, were destroyed,
many goods and much furniture, ap-
proxjmaging loss of $150,000 with
only partial insurance. Mr. H. B
Clark, formealy of this town, lost $2,
500 inTgoods with $1,200 insurance.
Washington extends sincere sympa-
thy to our fire-stricken neighbor."

The Greenville RerLector issued an
extra giving a full account of the disas-
trous fire which befell Greenville on
Sunday morning last. The Joss is es-
timated to be about, $130, 000. Insur-
ance $40,000. Poor water supply was
the-reason the fire was not checked in
its infancy. We deeply sympathize
with our thriving litle sister town and
hope that she w ill arouse from her
great drawback and right soon will be
upon a boom second to none in the
~State. We extend sympathy to her

moved from our city and just . entered

FIRE AT GRIFTON.
Several Stores and Dwellings De-
stroyed. | :
(Spectal to Reflector.)
Grirvton, N. C., Feb. 21"This
town was visited by a very destructive
fire last. night, several stores and dwel-
ling houses being destroyed before the
flames could be checked.
The fire originated inthe store of Al-
brition & Co., about 12 oTclock, the
cause being as yet unknown. Their
siore together with E. A BlandTs bar
room, the stores of Thompson Bros.,
Coward & Spivey and F. M. Pittman,
a vacant store belonging to J. Z.
Brooks, a warehouse on the wharf be-
lonzing to L. A Cobb, and two houses
occupied by colored people were con-
sumed.
The burned district embraces all
that portion on the town lying between
BlundTs coracr and the river. The
buildings on~the opposite side of the
street were only slightly damaged.
The lozses so far as could be ascer-
tained are as follows: -
Coward & Spivey, stock, $1,500; in-
surance $500 ¢ saved $500.
E. A. Bland, about half his stock, in-
sured for small amount.
Albretton &Coc., stock $1,000 ; insur-
ed. |
Thompson Bros., stock, $1,800 ; in-
surance $1,000.
F. M. Pittman saved most ~of stock,
loss $100 ;_ no insurance.
J: Z. Brooks, store building, no in-
surance. |
L. A. Cobb, warehouse and 30 tons
fertilizers, no insurance.

House of Lords.
Probably the house of lords is the
least sentimental assembly in the
world, yet it is peculiarly susceptible |
to the authorityT and magic of a strong
personality. On a celebrated occasion
Lord Lyndhurst recited at enormous
length all the black-letter authorities
on a subject. Lord Lyndhurst got his
way, not by the weight of his black-let-
ter citations, which the pastoral peers
who swell. our full-dress debates could
hardly be expected to appreciate; but
by the accustomed, yet ever vivid, im-
pression of Lord Lyndhurst on his legs.
Thus when Lord Salisbury rises to rec-
ommend a perilous success to the co-
horts he controls, when the house
ogives audience and attention still.as
night� to the sequence of a clear-cut ar-
cument. and illustration, every phrase
poised to a hair, every point piercing to
the quick, the whole speech acting like
oxygen on the Janguid air of the house
of lords, it is easy to realize the burden
of responsibility which personal as-
cendency lays upon the leader of the
conservative, party in the house of
lords."Nineteenth Century.

mole with Mr. Powell for a gray

the mule back to Mr. Grub for a

was swapped for five bushels of

Genesis of Cotton in America,
The first planting of cottonseed
in the Colonies was in the Caro-
livas in the year 1621, when seeds
planted as an experiment in a
garden. Winthrop says that in
1643 omen fell to the manufacture
of cotton, whereof we bave grest
stories from Barbadoes.� In 1736
it was cult?vated in the gardens
along Chesapeake Bay, especially
inthe vicnity of Baltimore, and
at the opening of the Revolution;
it was a garden plant in New Jer-
sey and New York, but its real
value seems to have been almost
unkvown to the planters up to
about 110 years ago. ,

Aias, Poor Motorman, "
A motormanTs life is not a happy
one. While the self satisfied con-
ductor is chinking the coin in his
pooket, jangling the register, pulling
the bell cord or blithely misspro-
nouncing street names, the motor-
man is silently grinding out his life
at the brake, his mind strung to ite
utmost terision, and his hands and
arms never for a moment idle. Yet
an accident happens, without a
thought being given to the many
calamities which have been avoided
through his alertness and precau-
ion."Boston Transcript.
Two Reasons.
At a circuit court heldsome years
ago in a ~western state an action of
ejectment was tried ~~by the court
without a jury.TT The decision ren-
dered was couched in such a way
that it caused considerable amuse-
ment.
The suit was brought by a reli-
gious society to recover possession of
a cemetery. The defendant was a
physician in active practice, who,
as one of a committee appointed by
the church, had bought the ground
for the usé of the society.
Afterward he severed his conneo-
tion with the society, and it ~was
found that he had taken the title in
his own name and intended to ap-
propriate the premises for his pri-
vate use. The defendant insisted
that he had bought the ground in
his own right after his relations to
the society had ceased. -
The court, after hearing the evi-
dence and arguments, proceeded to
state the grounds for his decision
and ordered judgment for the plain-
tiff. Whereupon the defendantTs
counsel arose and asked the court
to state more fully the reasons for
the decision.
oCertainly,� said his honor
promptly. ~~But as you have heard
what I havesaid I have only two
additional reasons to give. One is
that the church seems to need a
cemetery, and the other that the
| doctor bas failed to show that his
practice is sufficiently large to make
it necessary for him to keep a bury-
ing ground of his own.TT~YouthTs

WAR BALLOONS. :
es
*-|Many of Them 4d empomiged
ot
Siege of Paris.
An Excellent Method of Getting Within | ton
the EnemyTs Lines"Balloéning Has
Since Become an Important Branch
}
of) Wier Beet:
The last European war con
the French more about | ballooning
than they would otherwise have
learned in a generation. | At the begin-
ning of the war the government re-
jected many proposals from balloon
makers to construct a number of war
balleons, but. when they were shut up
in Paris they giadly turned to the bal-
leon to help them. They turned all
their disused stations into balloon
factories, and sought the services of
the few experienced aeronauts then
available for the teaching of the use
and management of the balloon to the
people. During four months 66 bal-
loons Jeft Paris, of which number only
three bave never been accounted for.
This is remarkable when it is remem-
bered that no lights were allowed in
the night ascensions, and the balloons
could only be sent up under cover of
darkness.
One hundred and sixty persons, in-
cluding Gambetta, were carried safely
over the Prussian lines, and 2,500,000
lettersweresent. The balloonsalsotook
with them pigeons, which were sent
back to Paris with letters and dis-
patches. The messages were written
and photographed down very small on
exceedingly thin paper. This was
rolled ~up, inserted in a quill and at-
tached to the tail. feathers of the
pigeon. When it was received in Paris
the photograph was put under a mi-
croscope and the message read. One
of the balloons, the Ville dTOrleans,
left Paris at 11 oTclock at night, and
arrived near Christiana, Norway, 15
hours Jater, having crossed the North
sca in its remarkable voyage. Most of
the aeronauts were sajlors, who were
chosen because of their familiarity
with the management and steering of
boats at sea, and they proved very ca-
pable. During the entire siege bal-
loons formed the only means of com-
munication with the outside world for
the imprisoned inhabitants, and noth-
ing could have taken their place,
Since then ballooning has been made
an important branch of military study,

A Dangerous Passage in the Rhone.
Below Viviers the Rhone breaks out
from its broad upper valley into its
broader lower valley through the de-
the Alps and the foot hills of the Ceven-
nes come together, and behind this nat-
ural dam there must have been ancient-
ly a great lake which extended to the
northward of where now is Valence.
The defile is a veritable canyon that
would be quite in place in Sierra Madre.
On each side of the sharply narrow
river the walls of rock rise to a sheer
height of 200 feet. The rush of the
water is tumultuous. In midstream,
surrounded by eddies and whirling
waves, is the Roche des Angalais,
against which the boat of a Iuckless
party of travelers struck and was shat-
tered a hundred years ago. Indeed, so
dangerous was this passage held to be
of old, when faith was stronger and
boats were weaker than in our day of
skepticism and compound engines,
that it was customary to tie up at the
head of the defile and pray for grace to
come through it safely; but nowadays
(with the same practical result) they
put extra men at the tiller and clap on
more steam."Thomas Janvier, in Cen-
tury.
She Was the First Star.
Every now and then an anecdote
comes to the front showing that our
first president liked the theater as well
as do his followers of to-day. The point
is mentioned in one of the many tle-
atrical stories narrated in that new
book: oShakespeareTs Heroines on the
Stage.� Says the author of the book:
oA Philadelphia Portia of this same
season of 1793 and 1794 comes of a
noted family, being none other than
Mrs. Eliza Whitlock, the sister of Mrs.
Siddons and of the Kembles. In Eng-
land, at the age of 22, she had made her
London debut as the heroine of ~Shy-
lockT on February 22, 1783, and, thourh
somew lat masculine in face and frure,
yet displayed so animated acounteranes
and so graceful a bearing as to win a
moderate degree of favor. A few

earth by a cable. It is seldom emptied
ready for action at a momentTs notice.
The equipment of a balloon corps, be-
sides the balloon itself, consists essen-
tially of two wagons, one large and
heavy, somewhat resembling a Jum-
ber truck, and the other considerably
smaller. The former is used to fasten
the balloon to, and is provided with
large reels containing about 2,600
yards of twisted wire rope. The
smaller wagon is filled with iron pipes
containing gas, and is technically
called the otube wagon.�
At the word of command the balloon,
always inflated, is released,and bounds
upward to the height of several bun-
dred feet. uncoijing the rope after it.
The officer in the car takes up with him
maps of the surrounding country and a
field glass. The position and arrange-
ment of the enemy are marked dowp
on the maps with different colored
pencils, indicating cavalry, infantry.
etc. These marked maps are then
placed in a leather bag, which is at-
tached to a ring, which slides down the
cable to the ground, wheré a mounted
officer awaits it, and curries the mes-
sage to the general in command. Other
means of communicating the informa-
tion have been tried, such as by tele-
officers still cling to the colored pen-
cil method, which, they .say, is very

Matching to Win.
Two men matched coins for the fare
on a street car, and the man who won
said: oI have paid very few fares this
summer, because I have solved the
system of matching. I canTt explain
why my system is correct, but many cx-
periments have satisfied me that it is.
I always ask the other man to match
me, and 65 times cut of 100 I win, Ap-
~parently the odds are even. in reality
~they are against the man who watches
~arid in favor of theman who ismatehed.
This doesnTt hold when the coins are
spun on a table.T It is good only when
each man holds his coin in his hand.
Calling coins is also an easy game to
win. Three men out of five will call
heads. 1 always hold the coin tail up,
