large number of them are in by our con-

Train and the chicaTs Conspiracy

On Tuesday evening the sman of destiny
George Francis Manufactured in Omaha,
and in the course Of his remarks referred to
the sensation regarding his connection with
the Chicago fire, of which mention was made
by telegraph few days ago. The Omaha
Tribune and Rspubticanthus reports him
Most of those present were very anxious to
have the startling news explained that came
by telegraph this morning, of his connection
with the Chicago fire; and yiehling to the re-
peated calls, he said he could not imagine
where such vile SANDER OH him and the In
ternationale originated, except that it was
concocted by the confederates OF Bismarck,
Thiers and the ruling powers OF the old
world to strike death blow at him and the
International. All he had to say was that II
they attributed such mighty power 70 him
as the destruction of such a great city as Chi
cago in so short time, he would be greater
than the Almighty God who ruled over the
fearful storm that ragged at that time; that
| would be a great blasphemy. The members
that compose the Commune arc purer and
holer men than the canting hypocrites that
| SANDER them.

sensible words About Advertising,

The following is from financial articie u
the New York Journal of Comspaerce;
ePeople, who sit neryoasly IN counting
houses. or behind their goods, waiting fef
customers to take them by storm, and max
ing no;efforts to let the world know the par
gains they have to offer, will find the season
neutrality-suspicious.. Many of those who nave
spent large sums in hiring drummers aha
having for other welEknown appliances OF
trade, have effected large sales, but swallowed
too large 4. share of the receipts in such enofs
nous attendant expenses. The best rema-
neration have been found by those who have
returned to mere legitimate, old-fashloned
methods of pushing their business. We say
it. not simply because we are interested IN
this line of expenditure, but as our best adj
vice to all who wish to be enterprising are.sto
secure larger custom, there is nothing now
so effecting to this end as judicious adyer-
tising. A little advertising may be like
gentle touch of the whip to poor Doebin's
horse "a mercy thrown away;" but hberat
outlay is almost certain to bring 1t in a large
return, and this will last even beyond the
current season. We do not believe that any
one who has valuable service or desirable
property to offer can fail of rich harvest by
continuous advertising Oh a large scale. "

Pilenomena Of the Fire.

From the Appleton wis. Times.
We had a call frcn MIR. Blake, OF Depere.
on Saturday afternoon. MIR. Blake hiss been
over large extent of the territory, and his
experience is general one. The unanimous
verdict of the most sensible of those whe
passed safely through the fiery ordeal,
whether at Peshtigo or other points, as con-
firned By MIR. Blake's investigations, is that
the fire came more from the air above than
from the earth. The fire swept along in de-
tached clouds, borne with a tornado-like fury.
These clouds of fire--hot as furnace blast
would be swept along in waving masses Of
different sizes. One man Describes one OF
these clouds. as of about forty feet IN size
| each way. Whatever he saw it touch, the
object tree or house, wilted right down.
These clouds Of fire usually touched the tops
of the tallest houses first. when the buildings
would burn down just as though saturated
all over with kerosene. Such an experience
was never before known. 1t seemed as II the
air was charged with these clouds OF fire.
4 Mr.. Donkersley, who was in Chicago during
the great fire, informs us that the fire there
operated in similar manner. The heavy
roofs of the largest buildings would sway up
wards, waver to and fro as ifby some great
conflict between the elements. when they
would fall with crash. The fire is described
as a she'll fire. melting down brick, stone
and iron the moment it touched them! Fire
proof buildings Withered at a touch! How
do you explain this new phenomena Of fire
We do not attemptit we simply state the
facts; wiser heads than ours must furnish 4
solution of this mysterious. alarming, fata
visitation. That it was no ordinary frt
which caused these great calanities, no ont
who has ever passed through the ordea
seems to question.
