The story that the Chicago fire originated
from kicking COW and kerosene lamp is
spoiled by the affidavits of the owners of the
property who depose that there was no fire in
their stable, and that their cows were MIXED
before dark. 1t is unfortunate that this story
is thus Ediscredited, for the lesson taught by
this supposed origin of the fire in connection
with kerosene might have saved many lives
and much property that will result from its
careless handling.

The Courier Journal of Louisville. KY, af-
ter season of silence since Carl Schurz's
speech, breaks out in strain SO reckless and
and irreverent that it will be sure to shock the
whole of that serious class of persons styled
Democratic leaders-who really believe the
party is something more than an old rickety
cart. But hear the Courier-J ournal:
To simplify the thing by common illustra-
ton, let us say that we are now riding in the
old-fashioned Democratic carryall. We paid
our fare and took a through ticket a good
while ago Well, it has joted us along right
smartly. 1t has hauled us over some pretty
rough places. At times it looked as if it was
going to upset We know we'll enough that it
is getting mighty rusty to look at and likewise
rickety. Tze fact is, the wheels have not been
creased f., Some time, and now and then they
do craas-S the mischief But for all its age
IL .syess uTcondition, the old Democratic car
ryall ! nv vehicle. 1t amt much for show.
Il amt "a -, aud stylish vehicle. 1t amt a
gllt edged chal -iot. But it'll go. 1t has wheels
good wheel-hoI ses, and stop the mouth of that
internal old pNby down in Georgia, we think
there is some Safe travelling in it even as it is
AT all eventp, we see no other vehicle in sight
except our httle friend Grants new-fangled
coach and six, with the bob-tail ponies, and
that doesn't suit us. Therefore we don't mean
to get out of our carryall and take it afoot over
an unknown country. Nor can we stop to
help Carl Schurz make a new vehicle. We do
not pretend to say that he will fail. We do
not promise, that his vehicle will not be stout
and safe. We. don't even know but that we
shall be glad enough TO be taken into it in case
our cd carryall breaks down. But for the
present. it seems to us best to stick to tho cuss
ed old crittur, and to try and make it do Well
take our chance at a run-and-jump if Carl
Schurz's new drag catches up and is likely to
get too far ahead of us. That old Georgia ba-
by is nuisance, and we have two or three big
brats here in Kentucky that keep up more
noise than there's any use tor. But when we
get the horses hitched and started, and the old
carryall begins to rattle along as if the wild
cats were after it, they'll shut up, like little
| men. So here's luck to Schurz-for we wish
| him well-apd here's confusion to the coach
| and six, with the bob-tailed ponies-and here s
our best endeavors for the old carryall, till ii
