The Great Fire in London.

CasselPs Magasi1e has an interesting paper on the
great FIRE in London during the reign of Charles
II, two hundred years ago. We quote:

Noneonformist preacher, who himself saw the Ere

truthfuiness, and with religious feeling as earnest
as it is simple. For forty miles round London there
was no darkness for four consecutive nights; the
lurid glare Of furnace shone on the downs of Sur

smoke rolled for fifty miles over the adjoining eoun-

hamshire, Essex and Berkshire. When the thou

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, the Puritan
pulpit orator, author of the John Brown war,
and recently the novel writer, has finished
his Norwood" which by his friends he has
caused to be SO extensively advertised
through all the avenues, sacred and profane,
to the public ear, is about to have it
dramatised for the stage. Mrs. A. Lincoln,
relict of the late government, deceased, and
relic of a very discreditable party, is also
having book written. 1t will probably be
entitled "Tales Told out of School," or
"The Remarkable Luck of Shoddy Adven-
lures" illustrated by cuts. When drama
tized it will not be remarkable if the Lady
Dowager and the Reverend Dramatist should
appear in the new role of stage performers.
The distinguished actress to represent facts
while the reverend artiste's fertile magma
ton will supply the lovers of fiction from the
wonderful resources drawn from his great
experience and extensive practice. We
predict the run of Napoleon's Caesar to be a
slow coach in comparison with our new ad.
venturers for popular blaze.

Drunken Officials.

Under this somewhat startling caption,
the keithsburg Democrat, radical paper,
comes down with telling blows upon the
heads of radical office-holders, who hypo-
critically profess to be strictly temperate in
their habits, and are yet notorious drunk
ards In the last number of that paper be-
fore US, the editor says that
"Senator Yates has been making an exhibition
of himself in the hotels and other places in
Springfield, in a beastly state of intoxication.'
With the personal habits of senator Yates,
or of any other leading radical, we have
nothing to do. There is enough to be said
of the beastliness of radicalism without ever
abiding to the disgusting personal habits of
some of its leading champions. The radical
paper, from which we quote the above, goes
on to say:
sThere is nothing left for Senator Yates, but to
resign, and ii he has not honor and manhood
enough to do so unasked, it is the duty of every
republican journal in the state to demand OF him
TO give up the position that he dishonors.'
Regardless of the fact that Senator Yates
gets drunk or whether it is fact or not, we
| unite with this radical journal in urging upon
him the duty of resigning his place in the
| senate. He ought to resign, because he is
| misrepresenting the people of the state OF

| not, to day, receive the votes of more than
one-third of the people of the state for the
position he holds, or for a-y other prominent
| office. ra We are not much given to agreeing
with ideals, but we most heartily concur
| and unite with them in this demand upon
| senator Yates to resign. Having thus given
| in our adhesion to the position of this radical
| organ respecting Senator Yates, we conclude,
| for the present, by giving the following fur
| Their extract from the same radical organ.
and placing upon it, right here, our seal OF
hearty, enthusiastic approval:
'In times like these, the great state of Illinois
| cannot afford TO be represented in the senate OF
| the United States by drunkard, whatever servi-
! ees he may have rendered, and if the senate hsd
| have, the presence of such would not be
| tolerated. We not of those who believe

these were Invariably answered with cheerful
readiness, ard only in two or three instan-
ces, arising probably from i'll health or some
local disturbing cause, did l ever receive
what NAV be called short answer. The
peasant or farmer would often put himself
to some inconvenience to answer ones ques.
tons IF riding, he would bring his horse
to a s.andstilL or, driving, would stop the

them and be surprised at receiving an
apology for delaying him. A boy going
down hill with donkey cart would slowly
and with difficulty bring the animal to before
receiving or answering a question. When
you entered PEASANTS cottage or hut the
soul of its possessor in a short time raised
one above the insign6cance of his dwelling.
In dialect, also, the peasant is very superior,
his language being pure, simple, and easily
understood, and swearing seems scarcely to
exist as perceptible habit. l regret to say
that, as regards courtesy and politeness, the
peasant class seemed superior to many Of
those met in the ranks above them. Ere

THE STRONGEST PRooF or INTRINSIC MERIT.
DEAR SIRs-I ought to have ackuuwl-
edged long ago the box of Pain Killer you
had the goodness to send me last year. Its
coming was most providential. | believe
hundreds of lives were saved, under God, by
it. The Cholera appeared here soon after
we received it, We resorted at once to the
PAIN MILLER, using directed for Cholera.
A list was kept of all to whom the Pain
Killer was given, and our native assistants
assured us that eight out of every ten to
whom it was prescribed, recovered. 1t has,
too, been very useful in various other dis
eases. 1t has proved an incnlculable bies-
sing to multitudes of poor people throughout
oil this region. Our native preachers are
never willing to go out on their excursions
without supply of the Pam Killer. 1t
gives them favor in the eyes of the people,
and access to families and localities by
whom otherwise they would be very indif-
ferently received.
Believe me, dear sirs, gratefully and
| faithfully yours,

Sne demands of the people, after nearly
three years of patient waiting, are very few
but very loud; and they will have to be heard
and satisfied. They want full restoration
of the Union for which they fought and suf
fered. They want confidence revived in
consequence of such restoration, so that in,
dustry will look up, labor will earn a larger
reward, prices will recede, and the commod.
tiles of life be brought within the reach OF
all. They want taxes equally distributed
and generally hghtened. They want the
price of the national securities strengthened
They want honesty and incorruptibihty in
the management of public affairs; economy
in administration; capabihty in all depart
ments of the government; and better and
purer rule. The party in power refuse t.
crafty these demands, and they are sum

to say of Hon. Geo. Fl. Pendleton, who has
been suggested as the democratic candidate
for next president, that IF outside Of his
politics he euer did an anej,sst or unworthy

is the first instance on record of O. distin.

1t is suspected the Tribune seeks to iniure

Should he be the democratic candidate, that

The negroes in the constitutional conven-
ton in Alabama have proposition before
them to exclude forever hereafter from the
privilege of voting all who do not vote for
the constitution they make. The radicals
endorse the proceeding. So, the negro bust
ness amounts to this-in Virginia the ne
groes are arming themselves and organic
ing mobs to assassinate all who voted the
conservative ticket at the recent election
and in Alabama an organized negro mob
proposes to deprive white men of the priv
lege of voting, unless they will vote the '"u
ical ticket. Verify, the radical pesers anu
the niger radicals are havire gooa ',me
of it. Before they get trough y, with their n
programme, it is p. at all unlikely that

Hon. William Allen, once democratic

Hon. William Allen, once democratic
o. S. senator from Ohio, thus pictured the
mission of American democracy:
"It knows no baseness, it covers to no danger.
1t Expresses no weakness. Destructive only to
aespotiam, 1t is the sole conservator of liberty,
Iaoor and property 1t is the sentinel of freedom.
OF equal rights, of equal obI0ations-the la =,
nature pervading the law of the land"
Upon this sure basis, the reaction agains,
the unconstitutional theories of Stephens, the
sgrarianism of Wade, and the b,aton, +ro..
son OF Sumner, must be successfo, Tho
sensible men of the nation will in the and
prefer party under whose rule slibertv
labor and property will be secure, to a fac.
ton which would ruin all in order to hold
possession of power.
