EDIToRs FREE TRADER: Az the subjecl Of
purchasing . steam Gre engine for the use of this
city has been somewhat discussed and will no
doubt ere long Be again brought forward, lot me,
through the medium Of yoar psper, suggest u
plan which deem better for the protection Of
property from the dsvouring clement
Tho plan which would suggest is the using
of water instead of steam as . motor.
At soms convenient point on the Hydraulic
Basin let there be erected suitable building for
the protection Of water wheel and pumps, in
which place water wheel of sufficient power to
drive one or moro Of Holly's Rotary Panps.
Connect thess pumps with iron pipes laid through
the streets sufficiently deep to protect them from,
the frost, and provided with hydrants OF fire
plugs at convenient points for the attaching Of
hose. The power Of the wheels can be regulated
by governor, or the pressure of water in the
pipes by safety valve, so - to keep up the re.
quired pressure without any danger to the ma
ohinery or pipes. att5s eH vts
The hrst cost Of such an arrangement would
be but little if any more than steam FIRE en-
gine and fixtures, while the cost Of operating i,
would be merely nominal as compared with the
expense Of operating steam FIRE engine. II
would be more efficient, because moro easily op
Grated, as hose can be attached ut different
points, and requires less men to operate it, Ph'
height to which water can be thrown by this ar
rangement is limited only by the strength Of th'
pipe and hose the distance from the pumps t
the point where the water is dawn from th'
pipes making but little if any difference.
This plan will dc away with the necessity o
reservoirs. And as to the laying Of pipes in tn
streets, this would be necessary to make even
steam fire engine effective.
These suggestions are thrown cut for the pur
pose Of eliciting q proper discussion Of tn
subject. H.J. l..

We transcribe from widely circulated East
ern jonrnal the following brief sketch of Henry
Vincent
Few men are better known or more popular in
England than Mr.. Vincent. At the early age OF
fifteen, when he was apprenticed to printer at
Hull, his eloquence att acted attention He
early distinguished himself in London, in con.
nection with the agitation for the repeal Of the
newspaper tax. He afterward became editor aud
part proprietor OF newspaper. Tie Findicator,
in the city Of Bath. during which time he Joined
the agitation for Reform in Parliament, and be.
came implicated with some Of the sufferers in
that agitation, and was himself prisoner for
nearly two years. After his release, now for .
period of a quarter Of century. his untiring
energy and unrivalled eloquence have been EN-.
Ployed in connection with all the grand measures
Of Reform which have taken place in England
during that period. He has been constantly on
the same platform with Joseph Surge, Golden,
Bright, Mil, Miner Gibson, and others, snd
formed part of the deputation to the large con.
tinental cities on the subject Of arbitration.
Mr. Vincent is now on visit to America for
the third time.

South Ottawa, Earn Hilgsy Dssr Park. Fall
River and Graad Rapids yin vote on tho ques-
tiea whether or not thsy shall p.rshass the Illi-
nois Bridge and msks IL ftss. There are two
reasons Why the vote for freeing the bridge
should be unsnimons. First, ~ evident relae.
saace With which the Bridge Coupaay seli the
bridge is satisfactory presf that skey sse sakssg
greH ioss BY doing -. II ths Bridge Company
make greet losa BY ceiling thsis bridge. then
the people must certainly BY purchasing the
bridge make gain equal 10 the Drdge Csmpa-
nys loss. The. question, therefore, with .ths
people should be. shall vs oontiaus to enrich
this Bridge Company BY paying them exorbi-
tant tolls, or shsll We purchase the bridge, and
thereby ssve 70 ourselves tho thousands Of dol
lars which ~e pay annually inso Ne pockets of
this already too rich corporationr Second, as
money is only valuable in proportion to the use
We can make of it in satisfying our desires, the
annoyance of stopping and paying the toll is of
as much Importance to the people as the twenty
five cents which they pay for crossing therefore
this consideration of inconvenience should be
added TO the money consideration, which would
make the toll on the Illinois River Bridge fifty
cents. True, the toll has been reduced lately,
but the people know why. There is powerful
interest operating to defeat the freeing of the
bridge, and if the people interested are not ex-
tremely vigilsnt it will succeed in accomplishing
its purpose. For some reason the passage of the
bill through the Legislature was very slow; and
for some reason it has been found impossible to
get certified copy of the bill from Springfield
in time to have it published in the Ottawa pa.
pers, SO that the people could road and under
stand it before voting. The circumstance of the
bill no, having been published before the people
vote on it will be used by the influence referred
to to defect the bill before the people; and
sheuld it fail before the people, the failure will
be attributable to this cause. That every provi-
sion in the bill will meet the approval of the
great majority of the people interested is beyond
Question; and that in case they vote it down
they will sadly regret their aetisn is equally cer-
tain. Therefore the parties, whoever they may
be, land the people shall know thsm,) who have
worked the defeat of this bill shall hold very
unenviable position before disappointed public.
