Too SHARP, But NOT SHARP ESoCGlI.-Alr.
r. b. Peterson and the balance of his book pub
fishing firm in Philadelphia, have sent us care
fully done up, whole lot of rigmarole about
forged letters from Washington Irving, con-
corning a book which they getting out As
Mr.. T. B. Peterson and co adjutors didn't send
the money in his bundle to pay for his adverti-
sing vindications-why, of course, there isn't
the least possible chance of his rigmarolc ever
being seen among the many new and interest
ing advertisements which grace our columns.
Will the house of Peterson please make a
note of the fact, for future reference?
HENRY A. WISE sent to the Irishmen's ST.
Patrick dinner, at Washington, letter concur
ding:
L give you:-"John Phipot Curran, the ad-
vocatc in 1913. He was upright, when honor
was rebellion; he was true, when integrity was
treason; he stood by the accused and doomed,
when to pity to participate; and he was
loyal TO liberty, when even to name her was
almost to die"
There is spice of significance in this, just
now. Honor now is rebellion from the admin
istration party.
SENATORIAL DIeNITY.-Anong the Congress.
sional proceedings by yesterday mnils, we read
that after the close of Mr.. Toomb's speech,
Mr.. Stuart rebuked him with great spirit and
dignity, and remarked that his manner and Ian
guage were more becoming bar-roum than the
Senate.
Mr. Toombs replied that Stuart had better go
home TO bed, and if he did not feel better in the
morning he would be glad to hear from him
The Senate then adjourned.
BrsrSrss.-The iron manufacturing interest
in Pennsylvania is very much depressed. The
Philadelphia North dmcricaR says:
Several iron establishments in the vicinity
have been compelled to suspend operations
Within few days past, the Portage Iron Works
have stopped, and propose remaining so until
they dispose of u portion of the large stock of
iron now on hand. Messrs. Musselman and
Barntz, of the Gap Forge have ceased opera
ton, and advertise their stock for sale on the
10th ult Frankstown furnace was blown out
last week, and will probably not be IN blast
again by the present firm, as their lease expires
in May. Besides these, several others cunten-
plate stopping. These stoppages will of course
throw large number of men ont of employ
memt."

approved plan, and to possess all the advantages
for heathful and agreeable exercise afforded by
similar institutions in other places We under
stand that meeting of those interested in the
matter will be held on Monday evening next, at
o'clock, at Metropolitan, Hall, Baltimore street,
near Gay, with the view of getting up joint-stock
company. We cordially commend the project to
the young men of Baltimore, as one well worthy
their consideration and support. Too little time is
devoted to proper recreation by young men and
bows, whose daily occupations chiefly confne them
to Offices and counting-rooms, their leisure hours
being spent either in idleness, or in the haunts Of
dissipation and vice. As we, unfortunately, are

am not aware of any direct adjudication upon
this question, with the exception of a Nisi Prius
decision, to which will presently refer. This has
perhaps arisen from the fact that State has rarely
subjected its own stock to taxation
The decision to which refer made by Balti-
more County Court in 1s49, in the case of the
Mayor and City Council against Brown and Perry,
similar in all respects with the one now under con
sideration; in that the right of the Mayor and
City Council to impose a tax upon State stock was
maintained, and am happy to find that my own
opinion is in accordance with that of so
a tribunal.
1t follows from the views thus expressed that a
judgment must be rendered, upon the case stated,
for the plaintiff.

THE COLD LOG CABIN" BURNED TO THE
GROUND

NARROW ESCAPE COL. TAYLOR AND FAMILY.
The cold Log Cabin" so famous in political his
tory, has gone at last 1t was the residence of
Gen. Harrison, at North Bend, about fifteen miles
below Cincinnati, when he was nominated for Presi-
dent, and was made famous by thousand songs in
the campaign of 1910. Miniature limitations were
erected in every of the land, and praises of
g The Rough Log Cabin
That tells of olden time
were upon every tongue, and probably had quite
as much influence in the election any other sub
ject that canvassed. Butit ''latchstring" has
disappeared at last last.
We have minute details of the conhagraton,
but learn from passengers who arrived by the
Ohio and Mississippi Railroad yesterday morning
between one and two o'clock, that as the train ar
rived at North Bend, the old Log Cabin was en-
veloped in flames, and that its destruction COM
plete. 1t was occupied by Col. VIM. H. II. Taylor,
(who married a daughter of Gen. Harrison and
family, and we learn that such was the rapid pro-
gress of the fire, and late its discovery that the
members of the household barely escaped in their
night-clothes Of course nothing was saved in the
way of furniture documents, and the probability
is, that many valuable papers, left by President
Harrison, together with articles cherished relics
of the Old Hero, and of the early history of the
West, have been destroyed with the building. The
only portrait of Mrs Harrison in existence (painted
by Beard with two or three of the General, taken
at different periods of his life, are also probably
destroyed.
Mrs Harrison, the widow of President Harrison,
fortunately was not in the dwelling; the venerable
lady at present being at the residence of Hon. j.
Scott Harrison, son of Gen. H., few miles be-
yond the old homestead.
North Bend is not only famous as the unpretend-
ing residence of President Harrison, but occupies
no mean position in Western History. 1t was the
first landing place of John Cleves Symmes, the
original patentee of all the land between the two
Miamis, and was at one time regarded as the rival
of Cincinnati, or ''Fort Washington" At North
Bend, Judge Symmes projected the great "Miami
City, and went so far as to map out streets, lawns,
public squares and all the arrangements for city
of the first magnitude; but a fortunate incident
turned the tide in favor of the present site of our
fourishing metropolis, and "North Bend" has ever
| since remained beautiful rural retreat from the
