which shows tlist misrepresentation:

fatal affray in which its editor. l.. W
Groves, was killed OH the 9Th instant
by Edwin Turner. the Editor of a ri,

Providence & Northern Fires

A correspondent of tho st. Louis
Republican takes the Rev. DIR. Bel.
lows and the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher to task for attributing the
Boston fire to narrow streets and
Mansard roofs. She finds a curious
coincidence in the date Of the Michi-
gan aud Chicago fires of last year,
and tho Boston calamity of this jcar,
with Sheridan's raid in the Shenan-
doah valley and Gen. Sherman's
terrible ''march to the sea-" The
plain inference is that ~"Virginia'.
believes these horrid vfsitations OF
fame were sent by the Almighty to
effect q realization Of the suferings
Of the South during the war. And
it Is not difficult to infer that the
writer thinks these coningrations Q
punishment for tho wickedncss Of
Northern soldfers.

Horace Greeley, Philosopher

The defeated candidate for the
Presidency seems to be v%indicating
his .right to the ap~pellation of"Phi-
l%osepher." so gracefully bestowed by
ihe poet Whittier i'll his poem upon
Alice Cary. i'll which he speaks of the
farmer of the Tribune rs sour later
Franklin The news of his defeat
was hardly cold upon the wires when
lie returned to the sanctum of the
Tribune and resumed work the sam,
as if his absence had only been fol
SOME pleasure excursion. In mani,
straightforward words, he tells villa,
las happened and whit he is going tt
do. There is no rcpiming, Ito com
planning. Such 4 blow would have
crushed some men, causing them t,
seek the deepest shades of %obscurity
Greeley, too. no doubt, felt keenly
his signal overthrow, but he has toe
much brains and experience with it,
to be cast down by such an event.
He has become accustomed to mis-
construction, and strong in the con.
seriousness Of his own rectitudc,
: bravely sets about TO carry oil more
vigorously than ever tho gre q,
work Of his life. True, worthy
Horace, fortune has denied to yor
the honor of being called President
but she has dubbed you with q highc
osder of distinction, and you will g,
down to posterity under the subli.u
Iitle Of Philosopher.
