LAST Tuesday was the one hundredth
day since the once gay city of Paris was
isolated from the rest of the world. Du-
ring that time the 2,0Oo,O 900 souls confined
within the walls OF that city will have con-
sumed-allowing n and a half pound of
food per diem to each personal the rate
of 100000 pounds. or 1850 tons a day,
which would be equal, at the end of the
hundredth day, to 10000 tonsl How
much longer that great city, with its i'm
mense garrison and population, can hold
out, a few days will probably determine.
From all accounts the people are now liv-
ing on horse-fesh, dogs, rats and cats Ii
the beseiged were American or English
they would have undoubtedly been starv-
ed into a surrender long ago, simply be-
cause they do not understand the science
ofcookery so thoroughly as the French, who
have a knack of making n palatable dish
out of almost any animal or vegetable ma
terial they may happen to have at hand.

At II o'clock A. N. on the S0th the
Marshall House, situated at the west end
of the wire bridge, on the Allegheny river,
at Franklin, Pa, took fire at eleven
o'clock. this morning. The flames COM
municated to the bridge, and, the cables
soon becoming red hot, parted from their
anchorage, precipitating the bridge struc-
ture into the river. About twenty per-
sons were on the bridge at the time. VIM.

Mary Mcintyre, wife and daughter of the
toll-keeper, who was engaged in removing
furniture on the bridge, were fatally injured,
and their bodies recovered. Mary McIn-
tyre, John II. Allen, J. Mccartney, ].
Image and two unknown persons were
seriously injured. Milford Kilgore, freight
agent on the Allegheny Valley Railroad,
is supposed to be buried in the ruins, as
he was known to be on the bridge. The
weather was intensely cold, and the river is
frozen over to the second pier on the east
side. and great difficulty inexperienced in
reaching the sufferers with skiffs. A boy,
named Johnson, aged thirteen, jumped
from the centre OF the bridge and swan
ashore through the slush ice. The bridge
was newly erected and cost $50, 900. The
loss on the Marshal House was 5000.

The burning of the Cleveland Rolling
Mill has thrown a large number of the
miners at Gainesville u of employment.
It consumed about ten car loads of coal
per day, the mining OF which gave en-
ployment to about seventy men. Some
have found work at ether mines in the
vicinity, and others have been compelled
to seek work elsewhere.

FIXED SALARIES.

It would promote an economical admin
istration of the laws if all officers, State
county, and municipal, including the
members of the Legislature were paid fix
ed salaries. 80.
Under existing laws, q part Of the pub
lie officers are. paid by fees, and a part
by fixed annual salaries or by a per diem
allowances. The result Is great inequali-
ty and injustice. Many of those who are
paid by fees receive a compensation out of
all proportion to the services rendered.
Others are paid salaries wholly inadequate.
For example, many county officers. and
some city officers, receive greater compen-
sation than the Judges Of the Supreme
Court of the State. The salaries. paid to
the Judges ought to be increased the
amount paid to many other public officers
ought to. be reduced. To do justice, a
system of, fixed salaries, without fees or
perquisites, should be adopted.
The people of Ohio will, without ques-
ton, sustain an increase of the salaries OF
Judges and of other officers who are now
inadequately paid But it can probably
best be done as a part of asystem which
would prevent the payment topublic Off
cers of enorm&us sums by means of tees
and perquisites, To remove all ground OF
Complaint, on account of injustice to pre-
sent incumbents the new system should
apply only to those elected after its adop-

presented In favor Of revision of the rates
of taxation which, local officers and boards
are authorized to levy, another controlling
reason is moi to be omitted. By the recent

of taxation for the State at large willprob-

be nearly n hundred per cent. This
