Another theory is that they planned
the escape and capture to secure n re-
ward for their friends and to aid them
In fighting for n new trial.

In Boston continued, renewed the In.
tense excitement and anxiety Of yes.

NEW YonK, Nov. 11.-Yesterday
was q sad one In this city when the

BosToS, Nov. ll-12 M.-The fire Is
now thoroughly under control. Up
wards Of fifty engines are still at work
pouring continual streams Of water on
the ruins. The wind has not Increased
and there are hopes that the fro will
not again break out. Nearly all the
firemen are thoroughly exhausted by
their almost superhuman exertions

men too, are almost totally exhausted,
but their vigilance Is u%nrelaxlng.

pouring forth frow the ground floor Of
the large flyc-story granite building in
which it commenced, at the corner Of
Summer and Kingston streets. In
less than half an hour the fire had ex-
tended a hundred feet along either
street, driven by the furious wind, and
was soon beyond the power Of the Fire
Department, and the city was at the
mercy Of the ilercely sweeping flames.

Good Manners.

Young folks should be mannerly.
How to be 80 is the question. Many a
good girl and boy feel that they cant
behave in the presence of company.
They feel timid, bashiul, and self-dis-
trustful the moment they are address
ed by stranger or appear In com.
pany. There is but one way to gel
over this feeling, and acquire easy
and graceful manners; that is, to dc
the best they can all the time at home,
as well as abroad. Good manners
are not learned by arbitrary teaching
so much as acquired by habit. They
grow upon us by use. We must be
courteous, agreeable, civil, kind, gen,
tlemanly and womanly at home, an1
then it will become u kind of second
nature to be so everywhere. A coarse
rough manner at home begets Dit o

Fruits for Small Places.

In 1860 | purchased five acres of land
in the suburbs of a small village. At
that time | scarcely knew cherry
tree from q plum tree, or an apple tree
from a peach tree; I scarcely knew a
strawberry plant from a geranium, and
in this condition OF information | set
about putting out fruits of all kinds,
as had an eye to profit in supplying
my home with fruits, and selling
enough Of the surplus to defray the
expense Of culture. Had known az
much about fruits at that time AZ |
have since learned by reading the
papers it would have been worth hun
dreds of dollars to me. AS IL was,
had to depend entirely upon the nur-
seryman for advice; and he, of course.
with self interest uppermost in his
mind, like the human family general
ly, put off on me such stock az it was
most to his interest to dispose Of
The result was that l planted fruit
trees OF varieties which were not
adapted to my locality-smal fruits of
all kinGs which did not (three-fourths
of them) pay for the planting; and
after weary years of labor, expense
and study, ] found-too late-that I
had been duped. 1t would have been
economy in me to have employed a
regular orchardist to select my varie-
ties and put them out Yet did not
even know that at the time. have
now on my place many apple, peach,
pear, and plum trees, which have not
yielded fruit enough in ten gears to
pay for their original cost. Under this
state of case, my advice to those who
do not possess the necessary informa-
tlon is to consult those who do, and
on whom they can rely. Some nur.
serymen are honest. There are those
among them who will give good Sc
lections, and ifyou can avail yourself
Of their knowledge, do so by all means.
Some fruits do well in certain
localities, which are worthless in
Others. The chief idea Is, to ascertain
what suits your special locality, and
when thl, Is out plant thoses kind and

fruit, however, which seems to thrive

How Germany Prevents Railroad Ac.
cidents.

That most railway accidents, and es-
pecially those which are the result of
collision, can be avoided by proper
care and foresight is undeniable. This
is shown by the comparative ex-
emption from accidents which some
railroads in this country, conducted on
proper principles, enjoy. Even in re-
gard to the breaking of rail, as in the
Lehigh accident, which the cOroner's
Jury in that case treats as an "un-
forseen and unavoidable thing, it is
said that in Germany an accident has
never occurred from the breaking
of rail. The New York Evening
Post says that not person in that
country has lost his life nor a person
been mutilated from this cause in all
the thirty and more years that steam
carriages have been running on IRON
ways. The reason is plain. 1t is de-
termined by gcientitceXperiment how
long iron will resist, OH the average,
the beating Of wheels, and the law re-
auires the railroad companies to pat
down the rats periodically, whether
those in use exhibit signs of weak
ness or not While this involves ex-
pense it is so managed as to be gradu-
ally distributed over period of years,
small portion of the road renewed
each year, until the whole is con-
pleted within the given time. Here,
on the contrary, upon many railroad
lines, little attention is given to the
selection of rails, and less to their re-
newal ut certain periods. Few com
panie5 incur the expense OF subStl-
tuting steel for iron rails, though the
former are far more durable. In like
manner the same false economy in
all that would give increased security
to the public is one of the chief causes
of the frightful peris of railway tray
cling.
