Great Fire in Chicago.

A FIRE broke out about half past
seven o'clock on the 25th, in the
boot and shoe store of McDongal,
Nichols & Co., over the book estab-
lishmcnt Of s. G. Greggs & Co., 80
and Al Lake street, aud spread with
fearful rapidity. Within an hour
after the first alarm, the whole block
known as Burch's Building was a mass
of flames. Nothing was saved.
Among the principal losers are Greggs
& Co., book establishment, two hun
dred thousand dollarsi Haywood
Cartledge& & Honore, hardware; Young
q Co., fancy goods, Strauss 4 Co.,
and Shoyer & Co., fancy goods. The
building was valued at $3.50, 900.
The entire loss in the block will be
fully Sl,000,000. Farwell l. Co.'s
dry goods establishment, on Wabash
avenue, Immediately opposite, was on
fire several times, and their stock is
much damaged by water. From
Burch's building the FIRE communica-
ted to the building No. 20 Lake
street, occupied by Carson, Pierce &
Co., dry goods. completely destroying
it and its contents, together witk
Nos. 16 and Is, occupied respectively
by Freeman Bros, clothing, and
Burnham & Van Schacks, druggists.
The stock of Freeman Bros. was val
ued at $4,000, and is entirely con-
sumcd; that of Burnham & Van
Schacks, valued at considerable over
100000 is also total loss. The
building Nos. 6, 8 aud 10 Lake street,
occupied by @, N. Henderson & Co.,
shoe establishment, is at present on
FIRE, and will probably be destroyed.
The FIRE has also communicated to
buildings on Michigan avenue, be.
tween Lake and Water streets. 1t
is impossible at present to give any
correct idea of the total loss by this
fire, but it will probably reach two
millions,

Chief Executive would make no
effort to stop them. The massacres
Of New Orleans, the long reign of
terror in Texas, the murders aud out
RACES all through the reconstructed
States, are the natural fruits Of An.
drew Johnson's policy. Thanks to
him, there are States properly be-
longing to the Union which are still
without civil government. Thanks
to him, the bayonet overrules the
bench, the privilege Of the habeas
corpus is suspended, aud justice is
administered at the drum.head
Thanks to him, the fields are uncul.

ISOLATION hangs like pail over the
fairest portions of America. This Is
the result Of the Presidents policy.
This is the anarchy out Of which he
seeks to raise new dynasty. The
ruin Of the South, the conquest and
degradation of the North; these are
the two planks of his platform. We
are thankful to perceive that Con.
gress is resolute in its determination
that this platform shall be overthrown.
1t is fixed in its policy of Recon
struction, and every impedim snt which
stands in the way must be removed
The South is not to be given up to
anarchy, The President is not 10

plain. We must stand by our repre-
sentatives. They are lighting our
battles, aud we must share in their
victory or their defeat, aud their vic.
tory has been the noblest in our his
tory.
Therefore we say, "Houor to the
American Congress. And we have
confidence that the people will cry,

A Steam Man.


We have often heard Of "iron men"
but doubt if any ever existed until
this blessed year of 1868. 1t really
seems that the time has at last come
when good share of the human
family can be dispensed with, so far
as the utilities of daily life are con-
cerned, for steam and iron have been
brought into direct and evidently
ruinOus competition with flesh and
blood. BY a dangerous stretch of
the Imagination we have long face
tiously called the locomotive the
''iron horse" but the semblance
can hardly be detected. In the case
Of the "iron man." however, the re-
remblance is perfect, and, in fact, the
reality exists.
Mr.. Zadock Deddrick, n machinist
of Newark, New Jersey, after years
of experiment, has constructed n
steam man, which stands seven feet
nine inches in its steel iron stockings,
and walks over smooth ground at the
astonishing rate of thirty miles an
hour The metallic giant is familiar.
ly called "DanieI Lambert" from his
enormous proportions, and "Daniel"
is thus described by the Newark Ad.
rcrtiser'
He weighs five hundred pounds.
Steam is generated in the body or
trunk, which is nothing but three
horse power engine, like those used
in our steam fire engines. The legs
which support it are complicated and
wonderful. The steps are taken very
naturally and quite evenly. As
the body is thrown forward on the
advanced foot, the other is lifted from
the ground by spring and thrown
forward by the steam, each step OF
pace advances the body two feet, and
every revolution of the engine pro.
duces four PAGES. AS the engine is
capable Of making more than a thou
sand revolutions, it would get over
the ground, on this calculation, at
the ratio Of little more than mile
a minute. As this would be working
the legs faster than would be safe on
uneven ground or on broad street
cobble stones, it is proposed to rau
the engine at the rate Of FIVE hun.
dred revolutions per minute, which
would walk the man at the modest
speed Of half mile a minute.
The fellow is sattached To common
rookaway carriage, the shafts of
which serve to support him in a YER
ticle position. These shafts ara two
bars Of iron, which are made fast in
the usual manner to the axle of the
carriage, and are turned so as to be
joined to a circular sustaining bar,
which passes around the waist, like a
girth, and in which the man moves SO
as to move in any direction. Besides
these motions, machinery has been
arranged by which the figure eau be
thrown Backward and forward from a
vortiele. nearly foTty-6ye degrees.
This is done in order to enable il to
ascend OF descend all grades. To
the soles II the feet spikes or corks
are aGxed which cfectuaIly prevent
