A MEAN PLACE.

According to the accounts we see,
Portland, lately visited with fiery de-
struction, is a remarkably mean place
One of its papers, the Press, tells the
following rather extravagant story, to
illustrate the wholesale thieving prac-
ticed there on the night of the great fire :
One who had been slumberiug peace
fully in his grave in the Eastern Gene

burning, he remarked that he would go

searching effects to the very root of the evil.

Of purpose of Mr.. Crosby in his great Art Asso-
citation enterprise. Some irresponsible individ-
ual, maliciously, as II would seem. and GER
tainly without any grounds. had telegraphed to
several Eastern newspapers that That the peo-
pie here had lost all confidence in the scheme
being carried out. or the prizes ever awarded,
and that certificates were selling on the streets
at about one-tourth their original cost. and a
general belief that these allegations were cor
rect might soon have become current The
people in Chicago know that they are not cor
rect. No one has ever expressed the slightest
doubt, either of the integrity Of Mr.. Crosby, or
his ability to carry out TO the letter the adveT-
tised. project of the Assecia ton. The sale of
the ticke cts has been, within the past two weeks,
brisker than ever and never has there been the
slightest indication OF their depreciating in
value. In the following card Mr.: Crosby re-
iterates his ability and determination to carry
out the plan Of the Association. Mr.. Nickerson
guarantees his undertaking, and the committee
appointed to superintend the awarding OF pre-
miums indorse both. The people of Chicago
require no such guarantees but. on the con-
trary, the whole city would be ready, If re-
quired, to guarantee both the committee, Mr..
Nickers IN. and MIR. Crosby himself, who origi-
mated. and who is successfully carrying out the

= THE POWER OF PRUSSIA.

The Prussians, says an exchange, car
ried on, two years ago, the Danish wal
without a single loan, and even paid Aus
tria about 5000, 900 thalers for Lauen
burg. They put the full army now in
the field ready equipped and carried on
the war without borrowing a single dol
lar. The taxes, which had been paid in
advance for a year by many patriots OF
their own accord, are now being returned
by the Government before the war is ac-
tually over, as the Government has more
money than it wants. The taxes have
not been increased atall yet. The army
and everybody have been paid in hard
silver coin-the men once every ten days
and the officers on the first Of every
month.
All this has been done by the King
and Count BIsMARK, the Parliament-at
least the Representatives-having been
in opposition to the Government for the
past five years, with tremendous ma
jority, on account of the reorganization
of the army, refusing every year to make
the necessary appropriations.
Prussia has suffered very little from
the war, except the loss in killed and
wounded When the men fight, the no.
Bile women do their work in the field,
and not an acre less is under cultivation.
Prussian stocks and securities are higher
now than they were before the war. 1t
is true there have been many financial
because there was a want of
confidence when the war commenced.

A Man Cuts off His own Head and Hides

Our Coroner yesterday morning held
an inquest on the body-we insist on
his wOrd-on the body-of an unknown
man, found I'M the room of house on
street in the suburbs Of this city
The unfortunate victim had, a few days
ago, hired a suite of rooms, andnot hay-
ing been seen since he entered them,
the intelligent freedwoman who plays
landlady over the premises, suspecting
something wrong, sent for the police,
when, the door being forced open, hor-
rible spectacle was discovered. The
headless body Of the man was lying in
state in his own bed A suspicion of
murder at once arose in the minds OF
the spectators, and the Coroner was
sent for, who, notwithstanding appear
ances, at once expressed his opinion
that the death was the result, not of
murder, but of suicide, and while looking
over the body, q letter was found in the
hands of the victim, fully justifying the
Coroner's convictions The letter ran
thus:
Il have put an end to my own life-I
was tired of existence in this ungrateful
land-and left it Of my own free will.
There is money in my drawer sufficient
to pay my funeral expenses, As to my
name, try not to discover it, To pre-
vent identification, / have hidden my
head where you will never find it,
The whole transaction is thus destined
to remain shrouded in eternal mystery.
