FIRE AT EAsToN.-Easton, Sept. 17.-The
stabling attached to the United States Hotel
caught on fire this morning. The stables
were occupied by the horses attached to
Dan Rice's circus, and twelve of them were
smothered. Those lost, however, were
mostly team horses, and his loss will not
exceed $1,000. The fire originated through
the carelessness OF driver, who let fluid
lamp fall, causing it to burst and scatter
the flames among the combustible contents
of the stables. The damage 10 the hotel
was trifing.

II The following telegram has been sent
all over the country II it is not a sensa-
tion item," manufactured for the occasion,
il would appear that MIR. Breckinridge does
not intend to be candidate at the present
time for the Presidential nomination. Mr..
Breckinridge is one of the most brilliant
statesmen in the country, young, talented,
ardent and enthusiastic. His Democratic
record is pure, andbe has the confidence OF
his countrymen who would deligh. to do
him honor, now-sehereafter 1t has before
been imimaled that the Vice President was
content TO look 10 the future and would leave
the present battle 10 be fought by older con-
testants longer in the field. Although not
accustomed TO take for gospel everything
which appears as kilograms wehave reason
TO believe that the information contained in
the following dispatch, is correct:
WASHINGTON, Aug. %, 1889.
Attorney-General Black, in conversation
with Democratic editor in Pennsylvania
said that he was in receipt OF letter from
Vice President Breckinridge, in which he
said that he was not, and would not be- un-
dor any circumstances, candidate for the
Presidency. This is from source entirely
trustworthy.
The New York Herald announces the same
fact in the following words:
Judge Black has received letter from
Vice President Breckenridge, deprecating
any use whatever OF his name in connection
with the nomination for the presidency.
1t is said that hs-pfefers coat in the Son
ate. The recently elected Legislature of
Kentucky will elect him as the successor

deadly than Chinese guns ever were before
The stacking Off Of the fire and waiting for the
foe to come up till they could see the whites of
their eyes, and then giving them perfect
hurricane Of SHE'LL gingall balls and rockets"
is just after the American fashion of doing that
kind of thing But the London Times need
not have looked to the American or the Russian
governments as the authors of this warm recep-
ton. II has long been known that the Chinese
pirates that swarm on that coast are in great
measure led by American and European rene
gadoes, some Of whom have occasionally been
caught and hung These, we have no doubt,
are what the Chinese Emperor has called to his
assistance, and they have done their treache-
rous work we'll John Bull never got such q
reception as he met at the mouth of the Peiho
from any other hands than American hands.
Part of his defeat he also owes to the vicious
system the British government has so long
practised in its appointments to high posts, and
foolish fallacy it has preached SO long that it
believes it itself. Wherever an English army gets
into difficulty you will find British noble at
the head of it; whenever an English force is to
be extricated from danger, British yeoman is
sent to do the work. Then, that hollow fallacy
that British ships could knock down any body
else's stone forts, which sprung from the treache-
rous triumph at Copenhagen, and has ever since
been preached by British lips and British jour
nails, has helped to fool England. With equal
range and equal certainty of aim, the 'wooden
walls of England have no chance even against
mud fort. Cronstadt, Sebastopol and the
mouth of the Peiho, have done much to take this
foolish conceit out Of the English people,
The new storm in China has given new di-
rection to the current Of public affairs in the
whole world. Instead of Congress of five or
six tottering crowned heads in Europe occupy
ing the minds of mankind, we have new series
of events dawning, in which the four great liv-
ing Powers of the earth are to be the active,
and four hundred millions of relocating, cotton
consuming and tea-growing Chinese, the pas
sive participators. The United States, Russia
England and France, are again called
upon to congregate before the portals Of the
far East and attend the triumph Of civilization
over barbarian treachery. Our part in this
momentous movement is the one of highest
and noblest import. We may have to be the
counsellor, the moderator and the arbiter be-
tween the civilized and semi-barbarian worlds.
Our best men should be there. Our swiftest
keels should plough the level plain of the Pa
cifc A telegraph from California to Washing
ton should be ready to convey with electric
speed tidings from the new scene of action.
Thus can we worthily fulfil the high mission to
which we are called, and secure to humanity
the greatest good with the least possible sacri
fee.

"SoME PUMPKINS" other day, as we have
been informed from the published reports Of
the exhibition of the New York Horticultural
Society, lin the capacious rooms of the Third
Avenue Railroad depot, James Gordon Ben
nett, editor and proprietor of this journal, was
awarded no less than five premiums by said
society. He received premium, each variety,
for his red onions white onions, blood beets
and muskmelons. But his most glorious tri-
umph among the "vegetarians" was achieved
by those enormous California pumpkins, rang
ing from one hundred and fifty to one hundred
and seventy-fve pounds per pumpkin. For
these monsters, one of which has been pro-
nounced by the Tribune "the king of the exhi-
bition," J. G. Bennett received special pre-
MUM, which shows that, by the best judges, he
is considered 'some pumpkins"
Thus endorsed by the New York Horti
cultural Society, we are disposed to deal liber-
ally with our quadrilateral professors Of the
Times. They are somewhat prolific in that
class of stale jokes which may be styled Plum
Gut wit; but if they can say something hand
some about those pumpkins, and Of "poor old
broken down Bennett" as the man who raises
the premium melons, beets, onions and pump
kins, we will do something handsome in return.
We will galvanize "the king Of the exhibit
tion," or one of his big brothers, and let
the Times take HINT as its special editor
to report the next Italian war, including
all the fighting thereof, all the running away,
all "the elbows of the Mincio," all the "elbows

harrington Daiiy Times, Jany. l. 1859.
This is strictly true, as regards the first
State House built by the citizens Of Montpe-
ler. The State House was located at Mont
polier, by the State Legislature. which will
be seen, by referring to IAN act entitled an
act, to establish the permanent scat Of the

that act does not establish his position. 1t
will be seen, by reference to the act, itself
the State assumes the whole responsibility of
rebuilding the House. The State requires of
Montpelier simply, good bond to pay into
the Treasury, sum equal to the whole cost
of the work, one-half in one year, and the re-
mainder on the completion Of the work. II
Montpelier was to build the house, there
would be no propriety in her paying money
into the State Treasury, after the work was
completed. II the Times means that the bond
was "rolunteered,' by Montpelier, to prevent
a removal of the Capitol. different question
is presented. 1t would seem TO resolve itself
into this, Montpelier gave bond, to induce
the State to keep its plightcd faith with her,
the State having already received, from Mont
pelier, all she ever promised to pay. 1t looks
trihe, as though this "rolwtary' act, on
the part Of Montpelier, was eriorted by the
State, because she had the power to do it.
The Missouri Compromise was repealed, on
the same principle. aud with about the same
sense of Justice. The story of the heated po-
ker aptly illustrates this "rolunteer' matter.
"A little fellow was stopped on the highway
by a giant well armed, who held in his hand
deated poker. The giant commanded the
STRIPPING to stop. and allow him to insert the

from this fiery ordeal The poher man, finally

We have again passed this always pleasant,
and VIC hope profitable anniversary, and its
memory will be grateful for many day. The
true defendant of the Pilgrims can hardly do
less than piously observe this occasion, and
find himself with each succeeding wave of
time in more close, reyercnt and flial sympa-
thy with his pilgrim ancestry. Each sue
ceeding year opens new light upon their time.
and enables us the better to sec and appre-
ciato the lofty principles and motives by
which they were governed Faithful history
is busy, even yet, in wiping out the aspcr-
sions by which their enemies, Of their own
and succeeding time have sought to fasten
perpetual stigma upon them, and every brush
adds lustre to their record. We know COM
paratiyely little of the time in which we live /;
we move in medium which has in it more
Of fasehood than truth, and those who shall
succeed us will know more of this present
than we do; and thus we are now becoming
familiar with the times and the men Of the
seventeenth century.
The address Of Rev. Mr.. Lord. on this oc-
casion, gave a view Of the disenthrallment of
mind by the Lutheran reformation, and made
a complete exhibition Of the disenthrallment
Of the succeeding century. A more just. or
more complete vndication of the Puritans
and Puritanism we have never heard 1t
was admirably calculated to encourage the
veneration and pride of those who glory in
a Pilgrim ancestry. The address in every
part was in the highest style Of oratory. The
pcroration. particularly. was grand beyond

fixed attention from the beginning to the

very finely executed pieces of music by the
