CTSExANPIED HKROIsN-A STEAMBOAT PILOT BURNED
TO DEATH AT THE WHEEL.-JoHS B. COUCH the cele-
.brated temperance lecturer, who has returned to
the United States from visit to his native England,
related in one of his recent speeches the following
thrilling incident:
John Maynard was well known in the lake dis
trict as a God-fearing honestinteligent pilot lie
was a pilot on steamer from Detroltto Buffalo one
summer afternoon. At that time those steamers
seldom carried boats Smoke was seen ascending
from below, and the captain called out, simpson,
90 down and see what that smoke Is. simpson
came ND with his face pale ashes, and SAID zap
tain the ship is on fire ~ Then, 'rlre! nre nfe!
fire on shipboard!" All hands were called up.
Buckets of water were dashed upon the nre' Out III

on hoard and il was useless to attempt to save the

as John Maynard dropped, and his spirit took its

CONSERVATIVE CoNsOLIDATION.-In spite of buck
STEERING politicians and vena demagogues, cannot
forbear the belief that the great body of the loyal
and patriotic men of the Middle States will yet unite
on ticket that will Overwhelmingly defeat Lincoln
and sectionalism. The Grand Union demonstration
of all the conservative elements in New York city
is but the beginning of the end. The people are
already beginning to show symptoms of disgust for
the petty efforts of politicians to overreach each
other for their personal promotion. Ninetenths Of
the feuds now existing in the ranks Of the Democra-
