Out into that narrow _ ptss»..e, now
full of muolte, they hurried. What a
way it was. On, on thoy prjssei, some,
times almost sinking to tbe floor with
suffoeati. n.
••Ob, I can't hold on, i can't !" wail

On they pressed once more. Out iff
the lower hall they found it full of half
ol ad beings, and the wails jf tho women
and children, aocoiupuniod by tbe roar
of the fire, rendered the scene appalling
and heartrending.
"Miss Nelson ! Oh for pity aake,

7'he child stood quite still at that
open wiudow. A'he was about ten years
old and her bright eyes regarded Joe's

Eagerly he snatched her from her
perilous position aud began to retrace

"I went back for papa's picture," she
explained as they progressed. "That

"Yes—yos—.but cling to ma."

Mr. V underbill, the New YorU in ill ■

of hit maguificent property near Ash

shows that he has groat faith in its fu
ty growth and development. It w.t»

Mr. Y underbill intended to met a
thoroughly equipped institution of learn
mn there, that, in addition to thu ex
cellence of o.s curricolium should com
bine the advantages of beautiful iiiinu
lain .ceilbfy, and that of a healthy, in
vigorating climato. Whether tnis is
true or uot is not known. It may be
that he will use part of it. or poi-sibiy
all of it, us asi'.o for a palatial ali-thu
year round tiume or hotel patterned af.
tar tho Ponce De Leon Hotel at St.
Augustiuo. He lias fur more money
than the standard oil magnate, who
built thu former structure is aud could
easily spend a half dozen .or so million
dollars piofitahly and pleasantly in plan
ning and construntuig a building id' this
kind that would be the finest in the
world. Tho building of the I'oiicc Do
Lioou was the gratification of a whim of
itsowner, 11. HI. Flagler; and Western
Nor'h Carolina possesses advantages of
the erectiou of u similar structure on r
larger and more magnificent scale, »uf.
lieeiit to gratify the desire of cveu a
hundred millionaire.
Whatever Mr. Vauderbilt intends to
do with the property, however, it is
quite safixto say that he bought it be

lie sees it, and expects to receive a
handsome profit fioni the expenditure
lie expects, if he dos'out have the mis.
fortune to die soon, to see tho section
become tho principal mountain resort of
wealthiest people in the United States.
He expects to see its mountain sides
dotted witu liaudsouic homes and beau,
titully laid out grounds. Ho expects to
see its railroad facilities increased, com
munication with the exterior world
made easy, and the whole suction per
faded with an ail of life and ind > -try.
if Mr. Yaedorbilt doesn't see this him
self, those who inherit his property will
as the realization ot such expectation
is only a question of tiuio. Mr. Van
derbilt has doubtless reasoned somewhat
in this way himself, and lie probably
undo the investment lie has because,
aiuid all the attractiveness of tho soi
tiuii, oc wauted the finest and largest
pice of property for bunselt.

We have been askod for information
as to whether the different races of man
have a common origin;--vas ihe Asiatics

and Ncgridians), Australian (I'apuaus,

Wo cannot at'euint to di.'cu.-s the the

of tho races, or rather to give any out
