this does not include s1o0, ,ooo, 600 Of extra

paid off. The actual obligations Of the
goferument, including The extra bounties
that have been hquidated since An-
gust, 1865, amount to more than
S5b0, 000, 600, Notwithstanding tho largo
reductions in taxation that have mean
while been upado by Congress- The
asocrtained and recognized public dsbt of

The HusBAND.-Ladies sometimes do not
value their husbands as they ought. They
not unfrequently learn the value of a
good husband for the first time by the
loss of him. Yet the husband is the yery
rooftree Of the house-the corner stone
of the ediice-the keystone Of the arch,
called home. lie is the bread winner of
the family-its defense and its glory-the
beginning and ending of the golden chain
of life which surrounds tits consolor,
its law giver, its king. And yet We see
how frail is that life on which so much
depends. How frail is the life Of the
husband and the father When he is
taken away who shall take his place :?
When sick, what gloomy clouds hover
over the house? When dead, what dark
ness, weeping, agony! Then poverty like
the murderous assassin, breaks in at the
window; starvation, like furnishing
wolf bowls at the door. Widowhood is
too often an associate of sackcloth and
orphans. Orphanhood too often means
desolation and woe. -l

A PLEA FOR HUSBANDS Says the Tenn
pile Bar: The husband suffers by the mis-
take which his wife makes about him in
general. She fancies he has more weak
ness than other men, simply because she
knows more about him than them. He
might turn round and say, though he
would probably not convince her: "Don't
you imagine all the men you see arc inva>
riably SO heroic as they appear to be be-
fore you. Because they are all pretty
speeches, and smiles and nonsensical, ex-
travagant attention toward you, do you
imagine that they always maintain that
admirable attitude? Don't be fool Anna
Maria but believe that all men are pref
ty much alike, and that am not the only

1t appears in evidence on the Garland
trial that sundry persons have contributed
money to aid in procuring counsel to
assist the prosecution. tits, undoubtedly,
the privilege of prosecuting attorney to
require assistance in O difficult and im>
portant criminal trial. This has been
done SO frequently that it is now some>
what late to question the propriety of
such course.
There is q wide difference, however,
between the employment of counsel by a
prosecuting attorney in murder trial,
and the hiring of counsel by persons in
private life, for the purpose of pursuing
the accused with vengeance, and lessening
his chances of escape.
There are many and important infiu-
ences working against Mcfarland, outside
of the jury room. The associations SUR
rounding Richardson, and helping him in
his designs upon McFarland's wife, were
of kind that can make themselves pow
erfully felt under almost any situation in
which they may be placed. Men who
have acquired such consequence and rep.
utations as Messrs. Greeley, Bescher, and
rockingham will consider their own in
terests, and work for them, when involved
in the trial of a third person for crime.
There is an impression that the convic-
ton of Mcfarland would whitewash the

shop of the Wisconsin state prison was
discovered to be on fire in the roof, near
the center of the building. The wind was
blowing from the south quite hard, and
all efforts to save the building were vain,
and by IL o'clock it was consumed, with
nearly all the contents, and large
amount of lumber piled near the building
on the outside. The building was 40 by
400 feet, and built of stone, two stories
high, and was used for manufacturing
furniture and chairs. 1t was stocked with
valuable machines, ana filled with man.
ufactured stock and materials. Only extra
ordinary exertions on the part of the cit.
liens and conviets saved the black smith
shop, and probably the main prison build
ing. The wind was blowing directly
toward the main part of the town, and at
one time it was feared that general con,
fagration would result, and fire engines
were telegraphed for, and special trains
were started with them, both from Fond
du Lac and Watertown, but they were in
tercepted before their arrival with intelli-
gence that the danger was over, and re-
turned. Some IL buildings in different
parts of the town caught fire, but no ser.
ious damage was done. The convicts at
the prison behaved admirably. Not one
escaped or attempted it, as far as is known,
and never did men work better. How the
fire origin ated is not yet definitely deter
mined, but it was probably from sparks
from the smokestack striking upon the
roof, which was of pine shingles, though
to prevent such an occurrence a guard
had been placed upon the roof, and every
precaution taken that prudence would
seem to demand. The loss is estimated at
from $4,000 to Sl50.OOO upon which
there was no insurance, in addition to
which will be the loss resulting from the
discontinuance of large manufacturing
business, thus cutting off the income that
went toward supporting the Institution.

alarm of fire was given in East Des
Moines, and the Messrs. Gilchrists plans
ing mill, at the corner of Vine and Second
streets, was found to be on fire, and burn.
ed down in an almost incredible space of
time. The wind blowing then quite fresh
from the west, carried the flames speedily
across the street east of the mill, and COM
municated to the corner house, occupied
by some six or eight different families.
The Evangelical church, standing in the
rear Of Gilchrist's mill, as we'll as brick
building opposite, belonging to Messrs.
Gilchrist, shared the same fate. The loss
falls heavily on Messrs. Gilchrist. Some
$40, 900 worth of property was destroyed
in less than one hour, and it was not in
sured. Mr.. Wilson, who owned the build.
ing opposite, is also not insured. His loss
amounts to probably $4,000. The total
amount Of loss, as near as can be estima-
ted, is not much less than $4,000. The
fire spread with such fury that some of the
workmen in the mill had to save them>
selves by jumping out of the second story.
Mr.. Troustman, who saved himself,
sprained his ankle. He was the only man
injured. The fire companies were on the
ground Immediately, and did as efficient
