FACTsvs. THEORIES.

''Give me place to rest my lever on, >"
says Archimedes, and l Will move tn
world" 'Give me pure and unadulterated
drugs says Medicus, of the olden time
''and | will cure disease"
In one sense, both of these learned pun
dts were the veriest charlatans. They
knew there was no place to rest their lever
on, either to move the world or to cure the
disease Mechanism was in backward
state, and the medical profession was but
another name for sorcery and all the ad-
juncts Of magic filters and charms of the
''evil eye," &c
But these latter days have borne unto us
something more than even superstition and
its crew ever dreamt of in their madest phil
osophy. In these days of practical science,
what was theory of yesterday is fact to day,
and all the old time notions become as bub-
bles in the sun, and burst and break with
every breath we draw.
Let Archimedes shoulder his lever and we
will find resting place for it to move the
world. Let mine ancient Medicus pant and
toll no more for the drugs he SO sorely needs
for we have them at our hand, ever ready
to serve them at his beck.
Refined in the laboratory Of DIR. Maggiel,
the finest materials known in the medical
profession are obtainable by any one. His
Bilious, Dyspeptic, and Diarrhea Pills stand
unrivalled, and his Salve operates with Mag
ical effect upon burns, scaIds, and all sores
and ulcers of the skin.
In fact we think MAGaIEL's Pills and
Salve are the wonder of this century, and
we are happy in the thought that many
others OF our brethren of the craft agree
with u.s. We would earnestly counsel that
all families provide themselves with DIR.
Maggiel's Preparations at once, and keer
them ready at hand, SO as to use them n
the most opportune time and as occasion
serves. s. VakLeu Sentinel.

SIX MEN SUFFoCATED.-The Chicago pa
pers give the particulars or the sutfocation
of six men on Saturday night last at a
boarding house on West Lake street. These
men all slept in the same room, and they
were suffocated by the leakage of a gas
pipe in the room during the night. Five
of the men were found dead in their beds in
the morning. The sixth victim died on
Monday morning.
The Coroner's jury returned the following
verdict.
We find that the deceased, Adolph Block
STA Charles Bocksia, James McCaulitf, John
j ohnson, and LOWS Lout, came to their
death on the night of the 23d day of De-
cember, induced by the escape of gas into
the room in which they were sleeping from
gas-pipe from which the cap had fallen.
We find that the cap to this gas-pipe was
defective, having apparently been used on
some other pipe by which it was injured.
1t had not been properly secured on the
pipe, and was removed by some cause to
the jury unknown. 1t is apparent to the
jury that the matter of gas fitting should
be regulated by city ordinance in such a
way as to secure the employment of none
but competent persons, and that in putting
gas into houses all the caps should be exam
ined to see that they are screwed upon the
pipes, and not held i'll their places by mere
cement.

DiEasaraus fire,

At II o'clock 4, N. yesterday morning a
fire was discovered in No. l Engine House,
The alarm was sounded, the engine, hose
and fuel carts taken out, and by that time
the building was wrapped in flames 1t was
burned to the ground with all its contents,
including all the Company's furniture
books, $500 worth of pictures, their splen-
did banner, all Of the band instruments ex-
cept three and with that exception and a
few hats, all the property possessed by the
Company, making a loss of not less than
$4,000. Thus in a single night the richest
company in the city is rendered bankrupt:
Every thing that could be done was done
by the whole fire department to prevent the
flames from spreading, but in vain Web
sters furniture work shop took fire, and the
flames spread to Morrson's, Crocker's build
ing, Waters building, and Murphy's, all
were destroyed. Two small buildings ad,
joining were partially torn down, and by
great exertons of the fremen the flames
were here checked,
The loss of the City and Fire Co. No
l is not less than $4,000, no insurance.
Harry Blythe's building was insured for
1920, and also Morrison's stock which was
mostly saved.
Croker building was insured for $3.50
in the North American, $3.50 in the Colam
bia, and $500 in the Metropolitan Web
ster saved most of his stock of furniture,
somewhat damaged insured for So 600
Tompkins stock was insured for $1,000
and was mostly saved.
John Waters building was insured for
$500; occupied by Schiff, whose stock OF
clothing was insured for $4,000, was mostly
removed.
j. Murphy was insured for 81, 600 The
building is almost total loss, and he suf.
fered considerable loss in teas, and other
stock.
Geo. Q. Campbels stock was insured for
$500 in the North American. 1t was much
damaged by removal. The. building was
partly pulled down, but was not destroyed.
The shoeshop next adjoining was cleared
of its contents, insured for $500
Musgats stock was removed, but is fully
insured. Furnstow also removed his stock,
insured $1,000.
Many persons across the street partially
removed their goods, and prepared to de so,
the danger being great of the fire crossing
the street. In fact Petitioners building
wac at one time on fire, but was put out
by snow thrown upon it. The few inches
of snow on the buildings saved them. The
cinders flew for miles all over the eastern
part OF the city, and far into the country.
The fire department lsbored nobly fight
ing against fire and intense cold, hose fro
zen up, burnt, and every possible discom-
fort But for their exertions ten times the
loss would have occurred.
The total losses will amount to 500, 600
about one>half insured. -Fon du Lac Re-

Commissioner.

Eg'Webster's spelling book is in such
great demand for the reconstruction of the
South that American printers cannot sup
ply the demand and the publishers nave
sent to Europe to get it printed. Over one
million of copies have been sold since April,
and orders are now one hundred thousand
in advance Of the supply.
We have noticed the above paragraph
going the rounds of the press, but we don't
believe the yarn. We would take the con-
tract to print million or two million spell
ing Books, as fast as the publishers could
dispose Of them The idea that american
printers cannot print spelling Books rs fast
as they are wanted is little strange to say
the least of it. Let the publishers of Web
ster's or any other spelling Book, send out
west instead OF to Europe if they want to
get them printed by the million

The concluding paragraph of the Commits
sioner, shows that he is of those who look
to the creation of home market by the
introduction of manufactures, as the real So
luton of this freight question. He says:
indulge the hope that the time may
come when there may be ample markets at
hand, by means of the introduction of new
branches Of industry into the West for all
the more bulky products of the farm. Thus
lands may become more fertile, instead of
suffering deterioration as now, and the sur
plus products, in concentrated form, as WOOL
meats, butter, cheese, etc, may be sent to
the seaboard or across the sea, at saving
of many millions for the transportation of

The Quartermas.er General. Repor

The QuarteRmasier Generals Report.
The supplemental reports are some of
them hardly less interesting than those of
the heads of the Departments. The details
and statistics presented in General Meigs
report afford most interesting and valuable
study. The greatest success of his Depart
ment during the war, he appears to think,
was in keeping three hundred miles of rail
road open, and ninety thousand men and
forty thousand animals provsioned with
food during the campaign against Atlanta.
At no time, he says, during the march
from Chattanooga, were the railroad trains
five days behind the General commanding.
The Etowah bridge, 625 feet long, and sew
enty-fve feet high, was built in six days,
and the Chatahoochee bridge, 740 feet long,
and ninety feet high, was rebuilt in four
days and a half. Offorty Thousand miles OF
railroad under control of the Government
during the war, 1,769 miles were superin-
tended and controlled by the Quartermas-
ter's Department. There were also some
one thousand vessels atits disposal, which
at one time had thirty thousand men and at
another forty thousand men afloat. During
the fiscal year ending June last, the various
armies employed 214.102 horses, and 5S,-
818 mules $l05, 019 400 were paid during
the same time for clothing, to keep the sol
diers warm and comfortable The total ex-
penses of the Department last year were
$431, 706, 057 A Since the close of hostiI-
tiles large sales of material have been made;
over six millions of dollars have been real
lied from the disposal of horses and mules
alone. General Meigs highly compliments

others Of his subordinates
