WATER IN THE HOUsE.-Lct nobody
be deferred from bringing water into his
house by any fears of failure and per-
plexity. You might just as we'll stop
the circulation of blood in the body be-
cause it is subject to arrangement, as to
refuse the circulation of water in the
house because, now and then, a
pipe overfows, and your frescoes are
ruined. Good workmen will prevent
any such accident, but if they cannot,
give up your frescoes do not give up
your life blood. When 1 see the farm
houses, the dairies, the kitchens, whose
only source of supply is the well in the
yard, or the hogshoal at the back door,
and think how life would be heightened
and sweetened if all this heavy, and
hard and slow bringing could be
supplanted by the turn of screw, 1
wonder that we do not manage to intro
duce it, somehow, into our marriage
contracts. What an increase of vital
force would ensue what diminished
demand for divorce; what strengthen
ing and up-building of the family bond,
if a girl should refuse to marry until
there was an inexhaustible supply of
water, at least in the kitchen. A house
without water-works ought to be con-

It is common in all great calamities for people
to unite for O. time upon come one object Of
abuse. There must be IN outlet for popular in
dignation. A.scapegoat must be found for every
disaster. In the case Of the great Boston fire,
the Mansard roof has become the target fol all
the great guns OF condemnation. The press is
almost unit in denouncing it as the incarnation
Of everything inaammable and destructive. 1t
is made responsible for the whole catastrophe,
from tho first spark to the last. A report comes
that Boards Of Underwriters in various
cities have declared all buildings which
have Mansard roofs, not constructed Of
iron or brick, to be uninsurab1e. One astute
newspaper goes SO far as to assert that the in
yentor VAS actuated by the diabolical purpose Of
supplying perpetual food for flame, thus con-
tributing to the interests OF his craft. Every
where, in fact,-in public and in private, in
newspapers and 1.-THE Mansard has been
made the ecarecrow OF terrified householderB
and the 6ete aoi, OF suffering insurance com
panies.
One would think, to read and hear the inge

thatt the Mansard roof is new device to lay waste
the entire continent. The fact is, that it date
from the heseventeenth century. From that time o.

Our lumber business, during the season about

1871, and 10 per cent over that Of 1870. Chicago

yards to points OF delivery, is tie mistress
of this rich trade, which gives occupation to
200 firms. Last year, 1,2oo, 1000, 900 feet Of lun-

The New York Tribune now declares that gran
ite must be abandoned as building material,
because the burned district Of Boston vas
chiefly built of granite. Upon this basis OF rea-
soning, the conclusion to be drawn from the
Chicago fire would be that marble, and brown
sandstone, and white limestone, and every other
kind OF stone, should be abandoned
because all of these materials suc-
cumbed alike to the heat. 1t is not prob
able that the brown sandstone 80 much
used in New York (Which, TIE heard couple OF
yaars ago through the World, was cr1mbling to
pieces), would stand fire any better than the
granite Of Boston. It is certain that New Iora' +
iron fronts would suffer in the same way that
Chicago's iron fronts suffered, in a fire similar
to our own. The trouble is not with our stone
or iron, or brick, all Of which will crack, or e1
pand, or crumb1e and fall under certain clrcum
stances,-but with the purely combustible ma
terial that is joined with it in the construction
our houses, thus Furnishing the necessary hea
to destroy them.

NJ. D, Conway, writing to the Cincinnati
fo1nmercial from London, furnishes the liz
formation, upon what he dee1ns to be good
authority, that Father Newman, the Principal Of
the oratory at Birmingham, is under cloud in
his relations to the Catholic Church, and that
INTERCOURSE between him and Archbishop Man-
n;nr and Cardinal Cullen is suspended His
sympathy with Dr.. Doellingers views on the
dogma OF infalibility has brought him into this
trouble The only difference between Newman
and Doe1linger is, that the former believes that
infallibility can only reside in the voice OF the
entire clergy assembled in council, while the lat
ter inclines to the opinion that infalibiliEy is
only to be ascribed to the voice Of the faithful
throughout the world. Both thase views are not
only distasteful to the Ultramontane authorities.
but are considered dangerous, go that it becomes
very questionable whether Father Newman will
be allowed to hold his Birmingham positian

TIE LIQUOR LAW IN ENGLAND.

The act for regulating the sale Of Intoxicating
iquors, recently passed after very long and
labored discussion in Parliament, is remarkable
as being the first legislative result Of the tenn
perance agitation in England. It ls very tenn
perately, and, compared With some OF our Amer
ican enaet1nents, conservative1y, framed, and is
reported to work we'll. Its chief provisions are
o system Of inspection, which aims to de tect
and punish the adulteration Of liquors, or the
sale of poisonous compounds, under the name
Of liquors; the punishment Of aggravated or hub
itual drunkenness BY imprisonment; the clos
ing of all tipplng houses at II O'Clock at night,
On the theory that most Of the drinking
and riotous carousing that lead to crime occur
after that hour requiring beer saloons as well
as liquor shops to apply to the magistrates TOT
license, and to come under severe pealties for
admitting drunkenness, gaming, or disorderly
or dishonest characters the intent Of the latter
being to Suppress all disorderly houses.
In the discussion, total prohibition has few ad-
vocates. 4 considerable party we're in favor OF
remitting the entire question to the rate-payers
Of each parish, with power to regulate, license,
OF prohibit, as they should see proper. few
favored the Swedish plan OF having the
liquor manufactured and sold by tho Gov
eru1nent by it's aalaried officers, who are pEohlb-
tied from having any interest in the sale, and o.
prohibiting all trade in liquor by private parties
OtherB were content to enlarge the power OF the
magistrates to suppress diEorderly houses ane
| punish drunkenness.
The English legislation differs from the Amer
ican in regarding the drunEard US Responsible
for his drunkenness, while most Of the American
laws regard the drunkard as 3 sort Of irrespon
sible and pitiable imbecile, and hold the selle
OF the liquor responsible for his drunEennese
and even for the crime he may commit WILL
