GREEN Bay, Oct. l+.-Among the most
appalling OF the accounts Of the disasters
that come pouring iii is tiiat Of The burn
ing oil Wlluamsonville, Il Small place
about four miles east OF the head of Little
Sturgeon Bay. The mill at that place
was burned last Sunday night, and near
ly all the inhabitants OF the town perishod
in the flames. The mill was situated in
small clearing in cedar swamp; and
piled around the mill was about 1000
cords OF spalts. The houses were all Sit
uated near each other, thcinhabitants be-
ing shut in, us it were, i'll this limited
clearing, where the flames devoured them.
The dead were deccntly inferred, Il shin-
gle being placed atrhc head OF each grave,
giving the name and age, so Tar Us known,
OF each person. In Rasiore, aSmall ham
let few miles north OF Dykesville, eight
tield & Co.'s mill was destroyed.
MENEKAUNEE IN ASHES.
Last Saturday night the dreadful tor
nado of wind and flame swept away the
village OF AIenekaunee, ut the mouth Of
the Menomonee river. On the afternoon
preceding the fire the rear OF the village
was closely inspected, and ten or fifteen
men added to the guard which had been
stationed around the town. About S
o'clock that evening Mr. Spaulding drove
about the guard line inspecting it and as
surcd himself that the fire could readily
be held in check. Thence he passed on
to Marinettc. lie attempted to return in
an hour, but the flames beat him back.
The fire came down upon the village
meanwhile, and being almost totally un-
prepared for it, it was with difficulty the
inhabitants got out Of their houses. No
lives were lost excepting that OF David
Bruce, who died from excitement snort
time aiterward. Most of the inhabitants
rushed across the bridge to the island
used as Il ship yard by the Philbrook
Brothers. The flames were not long be-
hind. however, and the building on the
island soon took fire, driving the fright
ened mass of 150 persons on board the
Stella, dismantled schooner lying near
by. The lines were cut, and the vessel
dritted down the stream. Other persons
passed down TO the point and were saved.
Everything OF any particular value was
destroyed. Spaulding, Houghteling d
Johnsons mill, valued at 900, the En-
change House, Mill COmpany's store and
boarding house, DR.. Shcrmans drug
store, John Lindquist's store, Ecvle's
shoe shop, and many othcrplaces Of bust
ness, together with all the dwellings OF
any note, are in ashes. The luckless in
habitants are left houSelcss ndhomeless.
THE FLAMES LEApING THE RIVER.
From Menckauncc the flames leaped
over the river TO Mcnononcc, dcstroyin"
the mill of X. Stephenson IL Co, and scv-
cral residences. The women and cllii-
dren were placed upon III" steamers r.
vorito and Dunbar, and vessels lying al
anchor in the roadstcad, and passed the
night. The steamer Union took about
800 of the inhabitants of Mcnomonce and
Marinettc ctoaplace of safety III the harbor.
The fire seems TO have started up the
river, and every house from that point
to the mouth was destroyed. Charles
L,idner WAS burned 10 death.

AN APT SUNDAY SCHOOL SCHOLAR

The following story, although not
new, has sufficient point and humor
to merit its republication at least
once a year:
ASome roguish boys in town near
the capital of New Hampshire per-
suaded Joseph Jasper, or, as he was
general Y called, Joe, to attend Sab
bath School.
Joe wa an overgrown, half witted,
profane lad, and the boys anticipated
fun: but the various questions pro-
pounded to him were 50 readily and
correctly answered that no one could
for a moment suppose that he was
not versed in theological lore.
Joe was duly ushered in and placed
on a settee IN front Of one of which
his friends were seated, and the eX-
animation commenced.
The teacher first questioned the
class on their regular lessons, and
then turned toward Joe.
MY friend who made the world
We iuLabit =
.'Eh :" said Joe, turning up his
eyes like an expiring calf.
who made the world that we in
habit -
Just as he was probably about to
answer the question, one of the boys
seated behind him inserted pin into
his docs pants, about nine inches.
below the ornamented buttons on his
coat.
God Almighty - answered Joe,
at the same time rising to his feet.
That is correct. answered the
teacher, but it is not necessary that
you should rise in answering; sit
ting position is just as well.
Joe was seated and the catechism
proceeded.
"Who made the woIld?"
The pin was again inserted.
Jesus Christ - in a louder tone
than before, again rising to his feet.
That IS correct, but do not mani
fest so much feeling; do be little
more reserved in your manners,
said the teacher, in an expostulating
tone of voice.
After Joe had calmed dor n, exam
ination went on.
"What will be the final doom Of
all the wicked men?" was the sub
ject now up for consideration, and
as the pin was again stuck in, Joe
thundered out with a still higher
elevation of his body:
Hell and damnation.'' -
MY friend, YOU give the answers
correctly. but while you are here we
wish you to be a little more mild in
your words. Do, if you can, re
strain your enthusiasm, and give a
less extended scope to your feel
ings."

of this popular personal liking is quite ficti-
tious entity, not at all corresponding save in
some obvious outlines to the actual person
whose daily walk and conversation have been
observed and understood by those nearer
home. But the Republican masses would vote
for Greeley as they think him, not for Greeley
as in truth he is; and the means do not exist
for exploding this apparition and revealing
the man. The Tribune might do it, as it has
exploded the phenomenon of Conkling; but
then the Tribune won't, and so the fictitious
and misunderstood Greeley will remain the
real and popular candidate. And it is the
fact with which politicians must deal, who
understand their epoch and expect to accom-
plish results.
Such politicians control the Chicago TTi-
bane, one of the most influential journals of
the Northwest. 1t is free trade journal
though Republican, and has had more perso-
nal quarrels and political differences with Mr.
Greeley's Tribune than any other paper in
the country. But it comprehends the import
ance of The Greeley movement.
In one point we should differ with the
Tribune. MIR. Greeley Gas journalists we
regret to make the admission) wants Office.
He has always wanted it, from the time he
broke with Seward and Weed till the time he
ran for Comptroller and for Congress But
this alienates none of his strength, for the
reason that the Republican masses see how
the politicians have always cheated him of a
nomination whenever his party had chance
of success, and put him forward when nobody
else could be got to run hopeless race. And
if the voters of his party get it into their
heads that faithful service to his party had
better for once be completely rewarded with
the best Office in the peoples gift, they will
take small account of his weakness in desiring
q distinction that can add nothing to his
power, and will take great account of the fact
that the men most opposed to his candidacy
are the politicians whom he has lashed fol
their incompetency or their corruptions.
For our own parts we should rejoice at such
q square anti-protection issue as his candidacy
would give us, and to use one of his owr
comparisons, will put into an onion all oul
tears at seeing him again remanded to tht
tools he can handle.

HORACE GREELEY FOR PRESID ENT

From the ~ Y World
1t is not to be disguised that the candidacy
of Horace Greeley for the Presidency is TAX
ing hold of the Republican masses in way
that troubles and disconcerts the mere poiiti-
clans and wire-pulling managers of the party.
That he is an inconoeivably better representa-
tive of all the ideas of his party than General
Grant, or indeed than any of the dozen can
didates for whose creation and preservation
the Tribune is more than half responsible, is
too clear to need proof. But it is not wholly
this reason which has given such unexpected
impetus to the movement started by the
Texas journey, the derision of the carpet
baggers the tribute to General Lee, and the
Livermore letter. 1t is the absurd personal
liking for the man Greeley which prevails
throughout the country
