ACTIoN OF TINE CmUAeo CRY RAIL-

ACTION OF THE CHICAGO CRY RAIL-
WAY Co.-WHRREAs, the high rates de-
manded by underwriters, and the in.
creased difficulty Of obtaining adequate
insurance in reliable companies since the
great fire, render Il expedient that this

property instead Of relying wholly upon
insurance; and WHEREAS, experience In
this city has shown that the Babcock
Fire Engine Is the most efficient now In
use, and has proved valuable in the in
eeption oftlres by being ready for instant
action, needing no connection TO get
water, and throwing It's stream by It's own
force; and as the power Of the carbonic
acid gas and water which It discharges TO
instantly extinguiSh flame was Rlgnally
exhibited few days alter the great fire
and while the city was yet without winter,
when q fire under full Roadway adjoining
the buildings Of this company, and which
threatened their destruction, was In q iow
seconds wholly extinguished by a stream
o. gas and water thrown by Babcock
Engine; Iat' = EtI s.f
ResOlued, therefore, that for the protec-
ton of It's property against fire, this COM
pany purchase three (9 OF the fifteen
hundred dollar Babcock Engines; and the
Superintendent Is directed to place one
at each depot, and provide a suitable
room for the safe keeping Of the same.

The MEETING, SATURDAY NIGHT.-
Elsewhere in our columns this morning
win be found a pretty full report Of the
meeting held in the Court House, satur,
day evening, in the interest Of Protection.
The attendance was quite large, and the
eloquent remarks Of tho several speakers
ELECTED warm and hearty applause. We
donot believe a more enthusiastic crowd
has gathered within the walls of that
venerable old pile Of dlapidatlop" since
the good old days ctTippecanoe and
Tyler too" than that Of last Saturday
evening. There Is no doubt about the
effect such meetings will have on the pub.

structon on the great principle Of Protec,
ton, to make them rally in defence Of
skilled labor and homo manufactures as
against the productions Of the poorly fed
and low priced artisan in foreign lands

largely represented, and the election re.
suited in the choice OF the following gen.
tlemcn: Messrs. William Clark, l.. Spence,

The MILK IN The COCOANUT.

1t turns ont row that the real
cause of Mark Twain's recent funny
and ferocioTs protest against the
works of Hotten in introducing his
works to the English public. with
his (Hotten's) swash lnterlarded
was not wholly literary rage; for ii
is related that Hotten. when in CAL
ifornia. made whimsical reference
to Mark Twain'S marriage. The
humorist never could abide him af-
.erward. Hotten's "notice" was
not without humor. as will be seen.
It rams: MARK Twain. who, wnen
he has been long enough sober to
permit an estimate. has been uni
formlv found to bear a spotless
character. has got married. 1t was
not the act of desperate man-it
was not committed while laboring
under temporary insanity; his in
sanity is not of that type. nor does
he labor: it was the cool. methodi-
cal. cumulative cal .ulation of
hnman nature working in the breast
of an orphan hankering for some
one with a fortune to love: some one
with a bank account to caress.
For years he has felt this matri-
monv coming on. Ever since he
left California there has been an I'M
dprtonc of despair running through
all his letters. like the Suhdued wall
of a pig beneath wash-tub. He
felt that he was going. that no earthly
