HE FIRE IN LEONARD STREET YESTERDAY
We publish to-day an account of one of the
largest fires that have visited our city for some
time past. At about three o'clock Yesterday
morning an alarm was sounded indicating as
the scene of tho conAagntion Leonard street
and West Broadway. 1t was then discovered
that the extensive sugar refinery there situated
was in flames A second alarm brought addi-
tional engines and apparatus to the scene, but
all the efforts of the fremen failed to save the
immense building from destruction. Late in
the day the front wall gave way bringing
down with it the rear and side walls. The
flames had driven from their homes scores of
families occupying the tenement houses sur
rounding the factory, but as the efforts of the
firemen had been chiefly directed to saving
these dwellings the residents subsequently re-
turned with their furniture, and though tho
engines were playing upon the ruins up to a
late hour last night the neighborhood had re-
sumed its usual quiet aspect

Mr. GREELEY's CAPACITY FOR THE PnEsI-
DENcY is the theme for an editorial in the

law IN the city. the outflow of roughs on Sun
days will. no doubt, largely increase, and some
measures ought to be adopted to afford ample
security to the citizens. Every day, in ono
form or another. the inadequacy of the present
police force is forced upon us, and yet we be-
ieve that the men are efficient and Jealous in
the discharge of their duties. Policemen. how
ever, have not the faculty of Boyle Roche's
bird. and cannot be in two places at once.
This is the real secret of the rampant rowdy-
ism which is at once the disgrace and the dan
ger of the city. We hope the police will secure
every one of the prize fighting gang who dis
tinguished themselves in Sundays ARRAY, and
that we shall have the pleasure of knowing
that they are safely locked up for the remain
der of the summer. The question of afording
protection to excursionists is one that ought to
engage the immediate attention Of the police
authorities, and if they are unable to make any
disposition of men for this purpose it would
be well that the public should be informed of
the reason why. This will lead to the blame
being saddled on the right shoulders
The WoRsr WEEK ON RECORD. 1T is said

fear however there will not be much improve

largement and improvement of our police

order throughout the island day and night

We advise those lazy, lettering
young men-who stand around and
do nothing but make remarks about
people who are industrious-to go to
work, Earn something for yourself,
AMI don't sponge your living any lon
ger, and when you get a few dollars
ahead, don't go to a SELDOM and fool it
away punching ivory balls around
over a table with whip-stocks. Be a
man. Show the world that you are
able to earn an honest living by pa
tent and persistent industry. Quit
Ioafng. Buy q saw and go to saving
wood, if nothing better offers. 1t will
give you a sharp appetite for you

satisfaction of knowing that You earn

Not Personal.

Tho sect system is the bane of the
Church. The multiplicity of names,
and the peculiarly of doctrine held by
them, is what mars the beauty of the
body, and. gives TO infldelity an argu-
ment against its divine origin. Whilst
all acknowledge a common source of
1ife-deriving its light from the same
ceBtre-thc Bible-and all look for
the same blissful home in heaven--we
sometimes fail out by the way, and
struggle in deadly conflict, as if they
were opposing forces, as if heaven was
only for US and not for somebody else.
Now one would think that Universal
ism and its teachings would embrace
in its ample folds the whole human
family, and those who come under
it would let the arms. of its charitable
benevolence reach cut to rescue the
most miserable of sinners. But it is
not SO. One of the good sisters of
that persuasion, who has exemplifed
in her life that the fear of he'll had
nothing to do in making UP her belief,
and whose piety could not be ques-
toned, after listening to a powerful
doctrinal sermon a few weeks ago
from her pastor, approached him after
service and said : "Mr .~i in voUr
sermon to-day, 1 got the idea that you
thought everybody was to be saved
them orthodox fellows as well as us
Universalists. Did you mean that?'
Certainly" was the reply. "That is
our leading principle" "Well," was
the disappointed r~ejoinder, 'it never
struck me so before. l thought all
along that it was Universaiists alone
who were to be saved--them who had
faith in the doctrine, and not them
birthstone chaps, who seem never sc
much delighted as when they are pok-
ing up the fire and sl,oveling the bla-
zing Goals over their neighbors and
friends" "Well, what a mistake"
and with a 81 hope they won't bring
any of their fire stories to heaven tt
annoy and trouble us Universalists
anyhow" the old lady subsidized.

Ten minutes of weak reRining will
plunge a brave heart into the depths
of unhappiness, as suddenly as a thun-
der-storm will overcast a clear sum-
mer sky. The only way to live is to
cast away troubles and contentious,
which cannot be cured by fretting.
A thing that is done belongs to the
past. In justice to the requirements
of the present, and possibilities of the
future, you cannot look back and
make yourself wretched over things
which caanot be uudone.
