Admiral Alden's Reception Of ths
Prince and Prinoess Of Wales n
Routha m uSon.

Admiral Alden's Reception Of the
Prince and Prinoess OF Wales At
Southampton.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince Of Wales
and Princess Alexandra, his wife, visited
the vessels of the United States feet
at Southampton. under command Of
Admiral Alden, yesterday. The reception
of the illustrious party, with their friends and
attendants, by the American officer and his
subordinates and sailors. is described at great
length by special cable report in the columns
of the HERALD this morning. The scene was
exceedingly brilliant and the more immediate
ceremonial Of salutation and complimentary
greeting inspiriting in the utmost degree to
the people of both countries.
Admiral Alden feet consists of several ships
of-war, carrying unitedly very heavy amount
of metal. The frigate Wabash is the flagship.
The whole of the vessels are kept in that fine
style of discipline for which the ships Of the
American navy have been remarkable since
Immediately after tho first organization
of that arm Of our national service. Admiral
Alden was compelled however, to shift his
flag, some short time since, from the Wabash
to the Brooklyn, owing to the appearance of
a case of smallpox on the former,
and on the quarter deck Of the Brooklyn he
received his visitors. The Prince and Princess
of Wales embarked on royal steam yacht
in the afternoon. The yacht was soon espied
from the Brooklyn and her advent signalled to
the others of the American feet. The English
man neared gracefully, and within very brief
space of time the Prince, in company with
his consort, stood on the deck of the
Brooklyn. There was blending of the
flags, the ensign Of the Stars and Stripes en-
folding the drapery of the Cross Of st. George.
A very distinguished American party
awaited the arrival Of the English
visitors. Then followed personal intro
ductions, the Prince Of Wales responding
in each instance of presentation with that hearty
good nature for which he is remarkable
There were inspections of the decks of the
Brooklyn /; on inspection Of the feet by the
Prince-who remarked on going near to the
Wabash, 81 am not afraid of smallpox
repast on board our flagship and the fare
well. The American sailors manned the yards
when the Prince and Princess boarded
the Brooklyn, and this honor was re-
peated when they took their departure.
At this last moment the guns of the whole
American feet thundered forth simultaneous
salute The waters of the Solent were lighted
far and wide, and the glory of the setting sun
was made still more glorious by the brilliancy
of the occasion-the friendly union of the two
great flags which pioneer liberty and defend
civilization

Massachusetts, Senator; 81 am against fam
ming ancient flames into continued life;
am against raking in the ashes OF
the past for Goals of fire yet burning.
Pile up the ashes, exHnguish the flames,
abolish the hate-such is my desire
If the republican predictions Of riot and blood
shed in to-day's election should not be full
filed it will be due to such teachings as these,
and will give hope that the Southern States
may yet pass safely through the ordeal of the
present contest The trial is severe one for
the administration, for the indiscreet action of
its supporters has fastened upon it the respon-
sibility of any outbreak that may occur, while
all the antecedents of President Grant prove
that the words of Senator Sumner must find
an echo in his heart. Should the day pass
peacefully, no matter which side may triumph
the President should discountenance in the
future such electoneering as has been resorted
to in his behalf in North Carolina. He under
stands we'll the danger of exciting the passions
of ignorant negroes and arraying them
against the white citizens with whom their
daily lives arc to be passed. He has
shown in the past his desire to
pile up tho ashes 80 as to extinguish the
flames kindled by the war, and he should not
permit the characterless political adventurers
by whom he is surrounded to falsify his cred
liable record. A victory in North Carolina to-
day will be stripped of all it's laurels and prove
valueless, because the world will believe that
it has been won through the prejudices Of
bigoted race, and not through the free verdict
of an intelligent people. There is no reason
why he should owe his triumphs to any un-
worthy cause. He is entitled to the respect of
the men of the South, against whom he fought
as a brave and generous enemy, and to the
gratitude of the negroes, who owe their freedom
to the triumph of the army he led to vic
tory. He can afford to be just to the
one and to be independent Of the
other. When his superserviceable political
adherents force him into different
course they fail to secure the South
and risk the loss of the North. The fear and
trembling with which they now await the
been doubtful, and the growing indignation
OF the Northern people at the action OF the
politicians toward the South should prove to
the President the dangerous position into
which his advisers are leading him Success
in North Carolina to-day would be to him
barren victory. Defeat would be disastrous.
The riot and bloodshed melted and predicted
by the republican political adventurous would
be laid at his door The General who led the
Union armies through the Wilderness is too
good soldier not to understand the false posi-
ton into which he has been drawn by the
blunders of his subordinates, and if he escape
the dangers of the North Carolina skirmish he
should Immediately reduce the incompetent
officers to the ranks, reform his line of battle,
put himself at the head of his columns and
prepare for the decisive engagement of No

energy is being displayed in pushing on the
work at the new Post Office, and there is rea-
son TO believe that it will be rooted in by the
end of the year. In view of the amount of
hme usually occupied in erecting public build
ings the prospect in this case is very satisfac-
tory' Let US hope that it marks the beginning
OF new era in the management of public
works. 1t would be double boon to the citi-
Hens II the quickening influence could be ex-
tended across the Park in the direction of the

finished sometime within the present decade.
There are not wanting prophets of evil who
assert that the last touch will not te given to
this huge job at any time within this century.
This we look on, however as q slight exagger
alton. The most curious part of the history of
tho new Post Ofice, If true, is that the ex-
Penses will not exceed tho original estimates.

TIE FIRST STEAMSHIP FROM THE NEITHER
LANDs.-The arrival of the Ariadne, from
Rotterdam, promises to be an event
Of some Importance, as the advance
guard Of a new line of communication
with Europe. The Ariadne is the first
Dutch steamship that has ever entered the
port Of New York, and has awakened the his
toric conscience Of the natives Of the Neither
lands residing in the city. The event recalls
in dim way the arrival of the little Half
Moon, commanded by Hudson, whose name
is borne by the noble river of which we are
all so proud In remembrance of the old
Knickerbocker times, when man had time to
enjoy his beer and his pipe on the delightful
Island of Manhattan, the modern mynheers
will celebrate the arrival Of the Ariadne with o
torchlight procession and pleasant speeches
tonight. 1t is pleasing to have to record the
growing intercourse of our city with all parts
of the world but we hope the next steamship
line established will be an American one. It
is not credtablc to our Yankee enterprise that
the whole carrying trade of our port is in the
hands Of foreigners.

The Late Destructive Fires.

This vicinity has lately been the scene of an
unusual series of destructive fires. Last wee,.
we had the extensive one Of the Erie Railway
shops, consuming nearly million dollars
worth of property, killing brave fireman and
throwing many persons out of work. Then
came the burning of the Girls Protectory, in
Westchester county. Tuesday brought the
great petroleum fire at Hunters Point, de-
stroying thirty thousand barrels of oil and strip
ping acres of territory of the buildings, burn
ing number of vessels, involving the loss of
q million dollars and really threatening such
sweeping confagration as last year devastated
Chicago. The same night the fire in Eisner's
slaughter houses, in Forty-seventh street, con-
sumed seventy beeves and two hundred sheep
whose moans Knocked the futile attempts to
save their lives. A young child also perished
in the flames The occurrence of these large
fires carries its warming Greater care is de-
manded in the construction of our buildings
to make them less liable to burn, and far
greater caution is required by all
using combustible materials. Especially
the storage and handling Of coal oil
should be subjected to strict municipal scru-
tiny, and only allowed under most stringent
regulations, and in such localities as to obvi-
ate the danger which ever turks in this COM
bustible. Only the fact that there was but
slight wind and that in q favorable direction,
prevented such catastrophe ns has never yet
befallen New York. A strong easterly wind
would have waited the ships on fire, and
which no human power could extinguish,
upon our East River shore, setting our ship
ping and that side of the city in flames. Had
the wind been strong from the northwest oil
Brooklyn might have been set ablaze, with the
shipping at her docks.
In view Of the extreme risk from petroleum
works aud depots it has been suggested that
they should only be tolerated in isolated
places, surrounded by water, and so con-
structed that when fire breaks out they could
readily be flooded or scuttlsd, so as to prevent
the spread Of the flames. This is a subject
which nearly concerns the safety Of every ones
life and property, and it should receive prompt
attention by the public authorities. Coal oil
in large quantities is hardly less dangerous
than gunpowder and no less care should be
exercised by oil who have it in charge.

SENATOR TRUMBULL AT INDIANAPoLIs.-A
cording to our special report, published else
where, the veteran Senator had an immense
audience at the Academy of Music in Indian
apolis last night. Although it cannot be said
his speech contains anything beyond what has
already been touched upon during the cam
paign, there is one strong element in it
he is entirely opposed to the present admins

Horace Greeley as a kind of universal panacea.
A large torchlight procession, composed of
republicans, interrupted him somewhat during
the delivery OF his remarks, but he merely OBJ
served that he thought it was another addition

prepared to pay the haf-yearly interest on the

Inc mobile Register (Greeley democrat) Is
never mealy-mouthed when it has anything
particular to say. In this spirit it declares
that it ''means to elect Mr.. Greeley to the
Presidency. and means t9 elec. him as q demo-
crat." Somewhat paradoxically u goes on to
observe: 1--WE mean to do this knowing he
is in no sense democrat, and that no amount
of our votes can ever make him more one
than he is to-day" The Register af6rms that
it does this, ''not because prefers Mr.. Greeley
to all or any Of our own political faith, but be-
cause we cannot elect democrat, and we can
and mean to elect Mr.. Greeley" Like Davy
Crockett, being 'tsure It is right" the Register
is evidently bound to ''go ahead"

SAVING MONEY.

There Is, perhaps, no one in this
world more TO be pltied than the poor
mantle man who has got into the
habit of saving until he saves from
sheer delight in seeing his wealth
increase, and of counting every dol
lar of expenditure as though lis loss
was something that could never be
repaired. Yet it is the duty OF every
Door man to save something. The
possession of a few dollars often
makes all the difference between
happiness and misery, and no man,
especially with family dependent
upon him, can be truly independent
unless he has few dollars reserved
for time of need While extreme
oarelulness as to the expenditure of
money will make a rich man poor, q
wise economy will almost as certainly
make a poor man rich, or at least
make him, 10 q considerable extent,
independent OF the caprices OF en-
ployers and of the common vicissi-
tudes of lie. Nothing is more I'M
portant to the poor man than the
habit of saving something; hut his
little hoard will soon begin TO grow
at a rate which will surprise and graft
fly him. Every workingman ought
to have an account in some saving
bank, and should add to it every
week during which he has full EN-
ployment, even if the addition IS but
a dollar at time III he does this he
will soon find the dollar growing in
to tens, and these tens into hundreds,
and in a little time will be in posses
sion of a sum which is constantly
Welding an addition to his income,
which secures him a reserve fund
whenever one is needed, and which
will enable him to do many things
which, without q little money, ht
would be powerlessto to do.-Pits5urql
