For Printers.

Through the exertions of President Far.
quhar and the officers of the Typographical
Union, over two hundred printers left the
city during the past week. These men will
be provided with employment in the neigh
boring cities where unions exist, and are sup
piled with sufficient funds by the union here TO
reach their destination. The headquarters
of the union are crowded daily, and all the
committees are busy in securing provisions
from the Central Committee for the support
Of families permanently located here, and
who cannot leave the city until sufficient
funds from the unions in the international
organization are received. Up TO 6 o'clock
last night, President Farquhar received dis
patches from Hannibal, Mo- Union, send

lowing:
l have picked up "little story" which !
think too good = reproot for disturbers Of the

elder Of the USited Brethren Church was
preaching in this same neighbOrhood, and
was much annoyed BY persons talking and
laughing. He paused, looked At the disturb
ers and said: Il am always afraid to reprove
those who misbehave in church. In the
early part Of my ministry Z made 4 greal
mist: d. As was preaching Young man
who -. Just before me was constantly laugh
ing, talHing and making uncouth grimaces

After he close of the service one of the off

you have made great mistake. That youns
man whom you reproved is an IDIOT Sine
then lave always been afraid to reprov,

R.rnea on the Prairse..


A Manhattan paper says OF a prairie fire in
that vicinity:
doubt if ever the Roman legions, en-
camped upon the hills around Jerusalem,
looked more grand or terrible than the ranks
of the fire iiend that marched and counter
marched las, night upon the hills around
Manhattan. Early in the day, driven by the
wind. the fire was seen approaching from
the southeast, coming apparently from the
head of Mcdowell creek. Grave appre-
tensions were felt, lest damage might be
done when the fire reached the valley, and
in the afternoon, when the flames were
seen leaping upon the hill tops, and dense
smoke poured from the ravines, many citi-
zens crossed the river to contend with the adj
vancing foe.
The railroad near town had been Pa,rollcd
all day, lest the prairie upon this side should
be fired by the engines passing.
The smoke crew mortAdense, and rumOr,
Of dangers III damage filled the street.
/ But the fire was seen to divide, part pass
ing to the eat, down the kan-as. and part
westward, far up :he river. Just at dusk, :.
number Of citizens, almost unreoogniza-
bic from smoke aud cinders, came
from the othe side of the river and
reported the danger past. The fire had been
beaten back from the very doorways of sew
eral farmers on the south side A few stacks
had been burned. but in only one instance
had the fire penetrated TO the bottom; there,
dashing through two large corn6elds, it had
reached and burned 100 tons of hay for VIM.
Stingley.
But soon il was found that VIM. and
Daniel Anderson having been in town, and
made arrangements with Mr.. Purcell TO
begin work upon his new buildings on the
morrow, had attempted to return to their
homes on Deep creek. About two and
a half miles out they met the fire and at
tempted to drive through it, but their horses
were frightened and turned short into 4
ravine filled with tall grass and brush, and
there they all persisted. Nothing wa. left
of the wagon hut the irons; the horses died
in the FIRE. The men were carried to the
house Of Mr.. Colburn and carefully cared
for, hut this afternoon they both have died.

The New York Ndnddrd says that On
Monday the engineer at French's Hotel gave
notice to his fireman that on account of his
drunken and lazy habits, they must part
company. The fireman heard his dismissal
with stolidity, and received an order on the
cashier for his wager. 1t wss understood he
was 10 complete his days work. During the
course of the day tine enginee. had occasion
to leave his engine in charge OF the drunken
fireman. As he returned, seeing wrench In
his hand, he instantly suspected something
wrong. On asking him what he had been
doing, he declined to answer. The engineer
then examined the engine. and saw that the
water which supplies the boiler had been
turned of. fierce fire was burning in Il .
furnaces, and except for the engineers pre-
ence of mind in suspecting his villainors

Mode Of Managing /. Re.,ive Horse.

A groom mounted on high melted hun
ter entered the street of Coldstream, and
when opposite Sir John Msjorbank's nionu-
ment the horse began TO plunge and rear to 4
fearful extent, swervine to the right and then
To the left, but go forward he would not, nor
could all the exertions of the groom over
come his obstinacy. The street was filled
with people expecting 10 see the animal de-
stroy himself on the spikes Of the iron rail-
ing around the monument, when Mr.. Nc
Dougali, saddler, walked mp TO the groom
and said: Il think. my man, you are not
taking the proper method to MAXI the horse
go; allow me, if you please, to show yon a

groom, eff yon can make him go, ii is more
than can do when Mr.. McDougall took
piece Of whip cord, which he it'd with
knot on the end Of the animals ear, which
he bent gently down, fastening the end Of the
string to the check bn ckle OF the bride; this
done he patted the horses neck once or
twice and said: snow let me see you 60
quietly home, like good horse." Astonish-
ing to relate, The horse moved of as gently

Wall Street


The following are the views Of = New
York broker, as reported in the columns Of
the Htraid, in regard to financial Affairs At
present and the future outlook from the
standpoint of the Chicago calamity:
Failures are only individual misfortunes.
A few men lose, but there is just n much to
eat and drink and drink and wear, just as
many houses and buildings, just as much
stored up wealth of all kinds As before. But
here in Chicago, three hundred millions Of
dollars worth OF propery-two hundred
millions of it at least being employed as
capital in produ,in fresh wealth, and only
the remaining hundred million consisting Of
books and pictures and articles of luxury and
ornament that are not absolutely essential
to the well-being of the peoPle-have been
licked cut of existence for ever and ever by
4 sea of flame. The effect of that destruc-
ton is going to be q terrific Tightening of the
money market for months and years to come.
Money il always at ten or twelve per cent.
in the Western cities; it is going TO be worth
fifteen or twenty out there and ten per cent
in the East during many months Of the i'm
mediate future. Ii cannot he otherwise.
And when money il in such an unnaturally
active condition there is going to be a general
and universal shrinkage OF all American
values.
ooh, We can borrow bagatelle like
three hu bred millions from Europe.
''From Europe? No suci, thing. Europe
is to-day poorer than she has been for many
wears. The FrancO-Prlssian war and the
immense armaments that the unsettled state
OF the Continent has forced the various gov.
ernments to maintain, has impoverished al
peoples. Why, Just look at how man,
bankrupt governments there are over there;

United Trades Council, who presented him
with an address from the working classes of

ring to the questions. now being agitated in
the relations between c,pital and labor, said:
With respect to that remarkable combina-
ton that has lately been formed under the
name of the International Society, no person
can question. think, that that may grow
into an institution productive of important.
and in some cases, of critical results; but l
cannot help saying that as regards this
country, l take a sanguine view Of the ques-
ton between capital and labor. There is
great deal to adjust, great deal to rectiiy
and improve; but l am persuaded that
among ourselves, in the dispositions and
qualities both of capitalists and laborers, Ia
keI: as classes, We have good materials for
having it adjusted, and nothing can be more
legitimate, nothing can be more proper, ard
nothing more saIuiary, than that cOmbina-
ton of working classes for the purpose of Sc
curing their own position with regard to the
fruits Of their industry. have not the least
fear-I may be right or may be wrong, but
in my opinion there need be no apprehen-
sion-that the agency created fer iegi,i-
mate purpose will be turned TO an i!.esiti-
mate purpose, and do confidently hope that
from year to year we shall see the relations
between capital and labor placed on a more
satisfactory basis
