Yes, we say emphatlcally, maintain the
press for what II has done, for what 1t IL
doing, and for what II may do In that great
future which Is to test the capacity, virtue
and power Of endurance In man; for that

phesied and poets have sung. We know the
living voice Is thing Of might and power
that stirs the heart and thrills the soul but
10 this ago Of large things and unexampled
development, when "thc wide world" opens
To our view, and human thought goes to all
peoples within the limits Of human embrace,
We must not forget that the printing press 10
the most ubiquitous element Of expression,
and the most easy avenue Of ideas the world
has got. While the living voice can be heard
but q short distance, within the range Of a
limited compass and consequent limited in
nucnce, the printed leaves Of this potent
propaganda Of human thought flies on the
wings OF the wind, as It were, to the re-
hottest bounds of the earth. 1t SPEAKS here,
there, everywhere. It stands first In the
vanguard Of civilization; first in the COM
intimidation Of intelligence; FIRST In the spread
Of education, and FIRST in every good word
and work which develops material wealth
and advances society at large In the scale Of
progress and lasting peace. Such an inhu-
ence Ia certainly worthy of support, and we
believe 1t will be sustained whenever 1t speaks

bears TO the people at large.

Terrible Flood In the Catskills-Au
Entire Village Washed Away.

Our readers are all probably familiar with
the little village OF Falling Waters In the
Catskllls, which has been made famous as
the residence Of the renowned Rip Van
Wrinkle, and they will be sorry 10 learn that
q terrific food yesterday washed 1t as COM
pletely out Of existence as Pompeii, Hercu-
ianeum, OF the Cities Of the Plain. Every
thing which lent beauty to the landscape,
even the rugged mountains, and every vest
ige of human habitation, the Inn where Rip
sssusged his too constant thirst, the cabin
where Gretchen toiled and scolded, the house
Of the crafty attorney, have all disappeared
In the furious stream. Tho moving tale of
the catastrophe was told at the Jefferson
Market Police Court this morning by Mr..
Magonigle, the treasurer Of Booths theatre,
who made complaint against one Thomas
Macready, youth heretofore "to fortune
and to fame unknown" but evidently jeal-
Gus Of the fame Of him who fired the Ephe-
sian dome.
Yesterday, according to Mr.. Magouigle's
statement, and that Of other witnesses, the
ambitious Thomas managed to effect an en-
trance to the stage OF the theatre, and turned
on the water from the fire butt. This butt
Is arranged to be used in case of FIRE, and
throws an immense stream of water. The
result of this piece Of mischief was that the
scenery Of the Catskllls, used In the play OF
Grip Van Winkle," was totally destroyed,
and the whole auditorium flooded as well.
| The damage done Mr.. Nagonigle puts at not
less than 81 900. NcCready was committed
In default Of 81 900 bail to answer to a charge
of malicious mischief The public will reap
one consolation from the occurrence, and
that is a comfortable assurance of their On
tire safety In case fire should ever occur
during performance in the house. We be-
lieve that damages have been so repaired
that the play will not be interrupted. -Nsu

WORLDS Fair-1s71-To be He'd :"
washingten, ID. q.

Mn. EDITOR; Just now, as the subject oil
holding great International exhibition oil
the worlds products at this place Is mooted'
brief retrospect Of those which have been
heretofore held In other nations may not oe
altogether uninteresting.
Under the instlgaiion and lively patronage
Of Prince Alberta Queens huspana, IN y
kings place, without being burdened with
the responsibilities of Government-the great
Crystal Palace exhibition OF England, In
1851, was gotten up In great magnineence
of styIe and extent, the wonder Of the world;
and Internationally resulted greatly In ad-
yancing the interests Of agriculture and
manufactures, and dill much TO extend an
acquaintance and enlarge the sympathy and
friendship Of the operators and cultiyators
Of the civilized world. The fame and good
results Of this effort Of 1851 stimulated the
rivalry Of other countries, ours among them.
As result very respectable exhibition and
crystal palace was gotten up in Now York
In 1858, which, though not equalling that Of
London, was useful and creditablc affair.
Then, In 1855, a similar exhibition took
place In Paris, which would take rank with
that In New York in 1858, but like II, was
not equal to that Of London, neither In cost
| nor extent. Yet all were specially useful to
| the nations where held, and generally useful
| to all the nations which took part In them,
or presented their products.
That Of 1851 enclosed about 10 acres OF
ground, with flooring space Of $50, 7s4 square
| feet, aud cost about one and half million
| dollars.
have not the figures at command to show
the dimensions and cost OF those held In New
| York and Paris, but they were somewhat
less.
Stimulated by the success of the first at
tempt In 1851, Prince Albert, In 1862, to-
gether with the Society Of Arts, raised o
subscription OF some two million dollars,
got up second exhibition at London greatly
surprising tho first. 1t enclosed some 90
acres, with q flooring space Of 1,430, 7Si
square feet, on the same location as the first.
| In 1867, under the decree Of Napoleon iii,
Universal Exposition for all nations was
gotten up In Paris, the most extensive and
brilliant of all, SURPRISING that Of 1859, by
about 100000 square feet Of area enclosed,
| which included . beautiful central garden,
| $50 by 60 yards in extent.
| And this last fact furnishes an idea worth
considering; no one feature will furnish
greater interest and finish than garden OF
shrubbery and flowers within the Enclosure,
properly diversifed, In the form and variety
Of plants. And where facilities for water
are as good as at Washington, fountains
cascades and aquariums should not be lack
ing, with suitable rock work.
Thus have / presented few Of the feature,
of the universal national exhibitions which
have heretofore been held, while many NOR,
items and statistics might be furnished; bu
this should be enough TO enlist the attention
and awaken the pride Of all who wish tn,
prosperity and fame Of Washington, and i
may be & success If we will. D. 3. Z.

EDITOR OF THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN:
The following is an extract from letter
which have Just received from distin.
guished gentleman In Illinois, who has held
two Of the highest Offices within the gift Of
the people Of that State, and is similar in Its
expressions to various others which have
been addressed to me. take the liberty Of
making 1t public, not from any personal
motive, but to show the opinion entertained
of the moral and political condition Of the
country. 1t is humiliating and dreadful
reflection that great corporations not only
control public sentiment, but have the
power, for the time at least, to crush truth.
II almost seems that the whole moral frame
work Of society Is giving way under the
power Of dishonest combinations. While
have adduced no testimony Of outside par
ties to establish the facts presented In my
report, preferring to lot them vindicate
themselves, l can, II necessary, produce the
evidence Of ono OF the most distinguished
civil engineers In the United States to con-
arm my statements. He travelled over the
Pacific railroad soon after my report was
published and after he had read It, on OH
cial business, not as the guest Of the road,
and says 1t contains more truth than has
ava. bag, written srnon the snhiart before.

witnesses to appear before it and examine
them, he can disclose facts which the in
terest Of the public demand should be de-
veloped, and which will startle the most in
crcdulous:

Later dispatches from the Avondale mines
state that Thos. W. Williams, of Plymouth,
and David Jones of Grand Tunnel, who went
down to make further Investigations, were
su1ocated to death. On second attempt
Williams dead body was brought out by
David II. Davis and Benjamin Jones. Thos.
Williams went down and dragged David
Jones some distance TO the foot Of the shaft,
when he was compelled to come up. John
w. and Isaac Thomas then went down md
brought up the body. All who attempted to
go down are now out alive except Williams
and Jones.
No further attempt would be made to go
down until small engine Is rugged to drive
q fan at the mouth Of the shaft and force air
IN through canvass hose. This would take
until five O'Clock q. m. All who have been
down say IL is very hot, and loud calls have
failed to elicit IN answer.
The only hope for the o02 men In the mine
Is that they may have shut themselves In q
remote part Of the workings entirely away
from the draft.
Several hundred men with tools were
taken from Scranton last evening with the
idea of driving gangway from neighbor-
Ing mine into the Ayondale workings, but as
II must be solid rock cutting this means
would probably not relieve the imprisoned
men In time.
| Inc distance 10 pc cut 10 Narlously csh-
mated ut from twenty to sixty feet, and the
time required two or three days.
1t has been feared that the ventilatlng
furnance at Avondale would some day fire
the shaft, as 1t was very dry mine. The
danger to life Is very great in mine which
has but one means Of entrance and exit. 1t II
thought that Avondale Is but one Of many
mines in the same condition. 1t Is to be
hoped that the next Legislature will not, a,
SO many previous ones have done, refuse tt
pass a stringent law for the protection Of
miners and inspection Of mines.
The loss by the burning Of the Avondal,
mine works is from 1000 to 800, 900, moi
counting the loss by the stoppage OF mining
This mine had been involved in q strike fol
over three months, but had resumed worl
last Thursday, and was producing $50 ton
coal per day. The works were built In 1867
and II will take four to six months to rebuild
them.
