that is worth recording. When the engines arrived
the longest ladder that could he obtained placed
against the wall which lacked some three or four
feet of reaching to the gutter The flames were
bursting out and all saw that unless was
placed the roof with pipe, nothing could avert
the impending destruction. At this critical juncture
a stout chimney sweep, who happened TO be present,
darted up the ladder calling upon the remen to toll
low him. When he reached the top he planted him
self firmly, and holding to the gutter made his body
splice to the ladder and directed the nearest
to climb his back and shoulders to the roof.

CHINESE ETYMOLOGIES.

writer in the Boston Courier, who takes the sig

"When the thirteen stars and stripes first appear
ed at Canton, much curiosity was excited among the
people. News circulated that strange ship
had arrived from the further end Of the world, bear
ing a flag "as beautiful as a flower" Every body
went TO the kloa kee chuei, or flower flag ship"
This at once established itself in the language,
and Amer lea is called ktoa kee kicoh, the " ow-

1t is well known that all proper names in Chinese
are sgniiicant-cvery character in the language
pressing thing idea, well as sound. There
are consequently no unmeaning names in The Chinese
corresponding TO our Tom, Dick, and Harry, Jones,
Davis, and jenkins but mans name must be some
thing like House, Barnes, White or Brown, Flood
or Stone, Wood or Waters. Foreign names, howe
unmeaning originally, acquire when written in
Chinese, significance which is often srikiDgy Gu
rious.

markable of these etymoogies, which have yet come

wherever there is blue water, The Chinese have no

oo-teies, the flag of the ocean, sovereign people OF
the world" This is an omen sufficiently hatterng,
and if the Chinese do not suspect there is something
in it," must give them credit for being less super
slitious than many other people

The Chinese attach great importance, to expressive

THE ELECTION IN LOUISIANA.

If the editor OF the Globe was not wilfully
blind. he would see in the result Of The recent
election in Louisiana the conclusive evidence
Stale was decided Clay Wing Bank and Ia
riff State. Hundreds OF Republicans who had
opposed Mr.. Van Bureaus election were induced
at an early day 10 doubt the patriotic purposes
Of Mr.. Clay and his friends, when they were
seen bringing forward bill to incorporate a
National Bank, contrary to the professions Of
Mr.. Clay, that he would never move that mea-
sure until the People demanded il by clear aud
unequiyocal expression Of their wishes The
vetoes of the President reused the former Dem
ocralic feeling, and the shameless manner in
which he was treated by the Wigs in Con-
gress detached from their ranks some of their
ablest and most influential men. Their num-
Der sweled and increased, as succeeding events
demonstrated the high patriotism and sterling
integrity Of the President, and the utter want OF
principle among the Wing leaders. The result
of the Efforts of these men is seen in the election
just terminated.
Like the election in New York, and indeed in
every State where the People have had an OPP
portunity to speak through the baot-boxes, since
the extra session Of Congress, it proves that
Democracy has been rescued from The condi.
lion in which Mr.. Van Buren, left it, by The
measures Of Mr.. Tyler and his Administration,
and the exeri.ns OF his friends. But the editor
of the Globe has no eye TO see or heart to ac-
knowledge the causes Of these results. He is
unwilling to have the ranks ofthe party filed up
by men more honest and patriotic than himself.
He deprecates accesslons to its strength, and
would prefer to 60 into the neyt contest with
the same minority which was vanquishej in
1910. Such is his wisdom, such his patriot
ism. Heis fearful of charging the narrow cir
Gle, lest it should embrace men who may prove
competitors to his own favoriles, Mr. Van Blu
rem and Colonel Benton. Are the Democrats
ready 10 sustain such course, 10 crafty the
ambition or the cupidity of any men? We shall

THE GLOBES LOGIC.

In two of the late numbers of the Globe, the
editors have been exhibiting their amability TO-
wards Governor Porter, oil Pennsylvania, and
his friends and relatives, as well as astounding
the world by the profundi,y and accuracy of
their logic and political information.
In the first number TO which we refer, they
show the accuracy OF their knowledge of Penn
sylvania politics by making the Presidential as
well as the Gubernatorial election take place in
November, 1910, but as their /" Monin,n of Tin
der-box memory from Pennsylvania was here on
Tuesday, they corrected their error in their pa
per of that day, and perhaps from the same
sss5ss bsr Gap eaus L geffSSapa' Porter
and his friends defeated MIR. Van Buren, in
Pennsylvania in 1910 by majority of 343
votes, when that gentleman received 1866
votes, and that he secured his own election in

AT the October election in 1910, the MAORI
ties in the several Congress ionaI Districts for
the Democratic candidates were about A .OOO.-
10 November of that year. when the Presiden-
lial election took place, the aggregate vote polled
was very considerably increased, aud Gen. Har-
rison received a majority of 343. Each party
made the most strenuous exertions to bring
every voter 10 the polls, and Gen. Harison's
carrying the State, was, perhaps, owing TO two
facts. First-his personal popularity, many
Of the western Pennsylvanians having served
under him in the war. And, secondly-ihe per
sondi unpopuiarify Of Van Buren, in that State,
which has always been proyerbial. But we
should like to know by what rule of logic or
arithmetic the editors Of the Globe can prove
that Gov. Porter and his friends defeated Mr.
Van Buren, when they gave him 1866 votes.
and, yet, were guilty of collision when they
succeeded in elec,ing Governor Porter, when
they only gave him 1876, 756 votes u
