How to Have saved chicago.

Some gentleman in New York propose DEM
onstrating how Chicago might have been saved
from the terrible conhagration which has al
most swept it out of existence. They contend
that if the city had been prepared for extin-
gushing fires by the new method of enveloping
the burning material in carbonic acid gas the
flames, no matter under how great headway,
could have been extnguished.
Thus it is, PEOPLE always neglect their own
interest until it is too late. However the peo-
pie of Knoxville do not neglect their interest
in one important particular, and that is they
don't neglect to lay in theirsupplies of groceries
at John Lichtenwanger's cheap store, east side
of Market Place. Every morning large crowds
may be seen there purchasing the best cheese,
coffee, sugars, teas of all kinds spices, baking
powders, &c. Also, IL new stock of dry goods
has just been received. The cry everywhere is
How can Lichtenwanger sell so cheap" All
goods delivered free of charge, r..E..

Mr.. Joseph York clerk in Bradley's retail
store, corner of Gay and Union streets, was un-
fortunate in having four pair boots and shoes
two pairs of each-stolen on Friday night. The
articles were hung out as a sign and for some
reason were not taken in as early as usual. A
party is suspected and the property will probably
be recovered.

HOMEOPATHY.

The National Institute of Homeopathy is
now holding its twenty eighth anniversary in
Philadelphia. The statement made by this
powerful body of the progress of Homeopathic
Science is most gratifying to those who be-
lieve in it, The Institute, founded about a
quarter of century ago in this city, did not
then number twenty-five members all told.
Now, they have over 10000 reputable physi-
clans and surgeons in this country and Canada,
with numerous colleges, dispensaries, hos
pitals, and asylums, all supported by
individual effort. Our friends consumed
a good deal of their time in
grumbling that individual effort was left to do
everything for them. They not only are still
refused all Government and State aid in
actual funds, but have been most cruelty and
unfairly snubbed since their birth as a med-
cal body by the Government No homeO-
pathic surgeons were allowed to enter the
army except as privates, and consequently the
wounded soldier was forced to accept allopathic
bOluses and lancets whether he had faith in
them or not In applying for a pension, too,
he was obliged to submit TO the decision of
the Old-scbOOl practitioner. These were griev-
ances sore enough at the time, no doubt, but
we should think hardly worth resurrection or
bemoaning now.
Their other complaints, that Congress yet
refuses to recognize their right to practice in
the District, or to admit them into any med
ical offices in its gift, have more force and per-
thence. Persecution, either of injustice or
ridicule may have been beneficial to our med
zeal brethren, in giving them zeal, persistence,
and the cohesion of certain esprit de corps,
which otherwise they would never probably
have had but they seem now TO prefer that
their virtues should arise from some other
cause. The blood of the martyrs is very likely
the seed of the Church, but in this case the
martyrs evidently think they have had enough
of it. The great struggle Of the present is,
they tell us, "between the spirit of progress
sive medicine on the one hand and con-
servatism on the Other.n They do
not see, apparently, that in this identical
decent garb of conservatism, tho unyielding
etiquette, the grave deeorlm of the Allo-
pathists, lie their chief strength and secret of
popularity A man will allow any other man
to be radical but his doctor. He is quite
willing that physicians in Edinburgh or Tim
buctoo should try experiments, but hes will
have no tentative tinkering with his own lungs

Washington and Baltimore. The invention
has been improved since then, and difficulties
that embarrassed it's first use have been re-
moved. but on the 4th Of March, 1S43, we may
say that the great work was practically accom-
plished.
Prof. aorse after all has had much
brighter experience than most OF the great
inventors Six or seven years OF trial, and
few moro of preliminary delay, count Tor little
in comparison with the long life of poverty
and suffering which has 80 commonly been
the reward of genius and ingenuity. when
his invention was put in, practical operation
the recognition of its value was instantane-
GUS, and the honors paid to him personally
are such "a few living inventors have ever re-
ceivcd. Almost every civilized government on
the earth has shown him some signal mark of
Difference. Ten of the European powers
few years ago, at the invitation OF the french
Emperor, met in Paris, and voted JOINT
present of 100000 francs az recognition OF MS
services to the world. Not the least gratifying
of all the testimonials to his merit is the
erection of the statue which is to be dedicated
Tomorrow, as q monument of the gratitude
and respect of the craft Of which he is the
founder. 1t is o rare honor for any scientific
man to be immortalzed in bronze during his
lifetime and X was fitting that the tele-
graphers should have the credit Of browning
the long career of Professor Morse with this
most remarkable glory. 1t is perhaps proof
that mankind after all grow wiser and better
as the ages wear away, when we find prophet
at last honored in his own country, and the
world recognizing one of its bencfactors before
it. ia too late

ONLY TRYTNG THE ENGINES.

The new Democratic departure reminds US
of the familiar method Of testing the speed
of steamers engines by tying the vessel to
wharf, setting the machinery in motion, and
then counting the revolutions of the screw.
There is great commotion in the water, and
a tremendous putting of smoke and kissing OF
steam, and then we are told that the boat has
made ten or fifteen knots an hour, though 1t
has not moved foot. SO the NallandlSham
party is resolving that the Democrats must
make fresh start, ignore the old issues ac-
cept negro suffrage, and stop debating the
Constitutional Amendments, until they get into
power; while the more outspoken politicians,
like Carlisle, Democratic candidate for Lieu
nt-GOvernor of Kentucky, are careful to
explain that this Is only an apparent abandon
ment which really abandons nothing; they ac-
cept the amendments now because they cannot
help themselves, but they will test them in
the courts whenever they get chance, and
if the courts hold them valid they will insist
upon their repeal. That is to say, the party
does not change either its principles or its
aims; it only modifies its platform to suit
the popular prejudices of the hour.
The paddles are revolving beautifully, but
the boat is fast to the dock.
Mr.. Carlisle's departure, which does MT de-
part, is much more comprehensive than the
programme of Vallandi6ham and The World.
1t is merely an agreement not to say any
thing shocking until the campaign is over,
and then to carry out the old Democratic
principle of opposition to equal rights i'll
whatever way may seem most convenient and
effectual. But if the hawsers should be cast
of, and the vessel allowed really to move in
the direction Mr.. Vallandigham is trying to
point it, we do MT see what use there
would be for any Democratic party at all.
On great questions of national concern the
Democrats would have acknowledged that
Republicanism is the orthodox political
creed, and the Democracy of the past twenty
years pestient heresy. There would not
he difference enough in the platforms of the
two organizations, save on the impotent Dem
ocratc effort at reputation, to make the
next campaign worth fighting. Both parties
would hold substantially the same faith; and
as the people would naturally trust the old
professors of that faith, who had held to it
through good report and through evil report,
in the darkness of battle and i'll the sunshine
of prosperity, rather than new converts whose
sincerity was yet untried, it does seem as if
the Democrats might as well spare themselves
the trouble of making any nominations. But
we suspect it will be found that the vessel has
been tied pretty tight all the time.

THE MORSE STATUE.

IL il thirty-nine years since an American
artist, during a voyage across the Atlantic,
conceived the idea of the magnetic telegraph,
which has now covered with its marvellous
network the whole of North America and
Europe, penetrated into the isolated civiliza-
ton of Asia, and reaching under the great
oceans, has united the new and the old worlds,
and brought continents into close communion
with distant islands. 1t seems but a little
while to effect such a work, and, indeed, it is
only within the latter half of this period that
the work has really been done. Three years
were spent by Prof. Morse in developing his
idea before the first message was sent thrO ugh
half mile of wire in the City of New York.
1t was two years more before he invented q
process of not only sending q signal but re-
ceiying an answer. Then came six years Of
trial and discOuragement in the attempt to
raise money. He haunted the lObbies of Con-
gress laughed at by some, repulsed by others
as a crazy adventurer, begging for an appro-
priation, which one of the Committees was
sensible enough to recommend but the House
was not wise enough to grant. He went to
Europe, but got nothing there. He went back
to Washington and renewed his opportunities

1873, he left the Capitol, heartsick and weary,

According to general expectations, the
French Assembly has removed the sentence
of exile which has been hanging over the
heads of the Orleans Princes But the
strength of the vote by which the Princes
were declared, without restriction, entitled
20 seats in the Assembly, will surprise
many who have been reluctant TO believe that
that body is really MOnarchist. The re-
marks of NJ. Theirs, coupled with the au-
thoritative announcement that he fayors
a republican form of government for France,
are conclusive as to his present political con-
victions, whatever may be said of his ante
cedents. The episode introduced into the
Assembly by the vote on the question OF re-
voking the exile of the Princes and declaring
the validity of their election is certainly a
VERY important one in French politics.
