We have, it appears, one representative at least
abroad who understands the dignity of our position
and his own. The Manchester England Guardian
gives us account of the recent troubles of Col
Davies, who honors Cardiff by representing the
United States as Consul at that port. Davies it
seems, bought an estate the town, and speedily
got into n squabble with a neghboring farmer,
Bodkins, concerning the of path or gate which

There seems TO be no doubt that however
the fire in Boston may have originated, the
cause of it's rapid progress was the horse dis
ease. The animals belonging to the Fire De
partment were all or nearly all disabled, and
the Chief Engineer, instead of replacing them
chose TO let the machines be drawn 10y hand
We tried II lew nights ago." said he to a
qucstioner in Boston, "and it worked very
d" well indeed" Yet when the great confla-
grafton broke out on Saturday evening it did
not work At all The force is supposed to DC
unsurpassed for discipline by any in the United
States; but it was more than half an hour
before an engine reached the fire. The re-
Spouse TO subsequent alarms was, we may pre-
sumo, equally tardy, and 80 the flames became
uncomfortable before an effort was made to
control them.
On Wednesday night there was a fire in
Philadelphia, where we read that precisely the
same thing occurred. The horses were sick;
the engines were brought by hand; and the
buildings were consequently consumed. The
loss in this case was not great, for the build
ings were small and poor; but the thought
Immediately occurs that here was narrow
escape from a catastrophe like that Of Boston.
A little fresher wind, few wooden Mansard
roofs, barrel or so OF explosive OIL, might
have spread the flames like wild-lire while the
iremen were painfully Juggling the heavy
steam engines along the streets
1t seems incredible that after the lesson of
last Saturday and Sunday the Fire Depart
ment of any large city should allow itself to
be- caught i'll the predicamcnt which cost Bos-
ton hundred millions. If there are well horses
anywhere, they ought to be in the engine
houses; and of course with a little energy and
watchfulness they could always be found.
Two weeks ago NewYork was in the same
condition as Boston and Philadelphia. If
serious fire had broken out then we might
have had great difficulty in getting all the
machinery into play, though we have never
been reduced to such condition as TO depend
entirely upon the old method Of manning the
ropes. That method will not do with the
much heavier engines now in use, and it
would be madness TO rely upon it. What
measures have tho Chief Engineer aud tho

1t is encouraging to see that Controller
Green extends to the comparatively minor
matter of the distribution of the Excise Fund.-
set apart for charitable institutions, the same
Jealous care and scrutiny which have distin-
guished his administration in larger matters.
The selection Of the institutions as published
yesterday, seemed admirable those aided are
practically managed and are doing great good.
lit is only TO be regretted that the award
to each could not be larger; perhaps under
TIE strict enforcement of a more stringent
Excise law, which ought to be provided by
the next Legislature the total amount which
the liquor shops may be made to contribute
to the public charities may be more consider
able. But whether the amount TO be disposed
of be large or small, the method under which
the old Ring at first layishly distributed the
| Excise fund for political aud sectarian pur-
/ poses, and finally practically abandoned the
! law in other political interests, ought now to
/ be abolished with the Ring. The money ought
to go where it will do most moral good, with
out the slightest regard to the color or sect of
! individuals benefited; and the awards ought
to be in fair proportion to the usefulness Of
each institution. This is one of the grayest
/ and most delicate subjects of financial admin
| istIation. and we are glad to see the Controller
| taking the broad and tenable ground that the
practical usefulness of an institution in re-
( lieving physical suffering should be the
! strongest basis of It's claim for aid from the
public funds as from private purses.

Commissioners taken to avert this danger
The horses which were FRUSTRATED two weeks
ago are mostly on their feet again, but new
disease or n new manifestation Of the old
one, is breaking out. The greatest care
should be taken that no disabled animals are
left in the engine houses and if there is no
fund out of which the Chief Engineer can
hire or purchase new horses in case of
such emergency, the Commissioners must see
that the necessary money is supplied mt once.

We note with cordial satisfaction the refusal
of the President to give heed to the claims OF
politicians for the succession to the Post-Oflce
in Philadelphia. For years past we have crit
icised with freedom appointments which
seemed to us to violate every principle OF
Civil Service Reform. With equal freedom
now, and with far greater pleasure, we COM
mend the promotion of the Deputy Postmaster
in Philadelphia, who is said to be q deserving
and capable man, as an act in keeping with
the spirit of Civil Service Reform and worthy
Of the professions made in the Philadelphia
platform. If the President will enforce sim
liar policy throughout the United States, he
is sure of receiving no more cordial approval
from any quarter than that which will be
awarded him by those who lately strove to
prevent his reelection.

Here is something for all surgeons to read and
admire It comes 10 MS, like gold and great pears,
from California. In 1863, Luther Corey, in Santa
Cmz County, bad his arm broken in two places
above the elbow. One Of the fractures knitted and
healed the other, owing to a spnt Of the bone be
ing between the euds OF the fracture, did not. After
suffering great pain, Mr.. Corey went to San Fran
CISCO and the surgeons there opened the flesh On ms
arm and cut the caous part from of the ends Of
the bones pressing the ends together and binding
the arm in splints. So they remained for eighteen
months, but still the bones did not knit and The
muscles of the arm became shriveled up and useless
Then Mr. Corey applied 70 Dr. Lane Of San Fran
cisco, who forthwith performed the prettest li'tle
job Of surgical workmanship conceivable. He
opened the arm, sprung ont the end Of the bones
and, emitting off the callous parts, he beyeled the
ends Of the bones. so that each would lap little
over the other. He then riyeted them together
with a silver wire, and set the arm in case.
The bone then knit and healed leaving the ann two
inches shorter. Mr. Corey now uses his arm at MA
work. and, with the limb useful again, is once more
