Effects Of the Boston Calamity on Busl.
ness affairs.

The N. Y. Ersning Post - good
authority in financial and commercial
ufiairs-says
It is fortunate, at least so far MS
immediate effects are concerned, that
tho sad news OF the Boston conAagration
reached US on Sunday, SO that q days
reflection could intervene before busi-
ness began. Had the blow como more
suddenly, disastrous and widespread
panic might have followed Immediately.
As 1t is, business men have had time to
recover their presence OF mind and to
considerate survey Of tho situation
in word, time has been given for the
exercise Of their reason. The losses by
tho fire cannot fail to be large, but We
believe that they have been greatly
exaggerated by the sensational part OF
tho press. An attempt has also been
made to draw a parallel between this fire
and the Chicago fire, but the circum-
stances, at least so far as they bear
on business, are very different. Chicago
owed nearly everything to the East, the
debts being, in part, ordinary mercantile
obligations and in pare in the share OF
real estate mortgages. In fact Chicago
was originally built up on eastern cari.
tai, and its business was in large
measure conducted on Eastern credits.
II has been rebuilt, to largo extent, by
eastern and English, or Canadian capt.
tai. Boston, on the other hand, while
old and rich, is creditor city both
in current business and in investment
operations. The Losses, II We exclude
those BY the shareholders Of insurance
companies in the Middle States and the
foreign insurance companies, will fall
most heavily on Boston itself and on
Now England, in tho latter on the
manufacturing districts and on cities
identified with insurance interests. II
such calamity had to overtake any
city in tho country. mono was better
able to bear II than Boston, and pnrticu
larly the section destroyed, which in.
cluded, in business point OF view, tho
wealthicSt md mo1t solid part OF the
city. A good share of the real estate in
the burnt district is owned by wealthy
estates as an investment 7; and pcrhapS
no like amount OF property in the
United States was so FREQ Of incum-
brance, The principal disturbance, in
legitimate way, which our market for
securities here will feel, will be caused
by aales Of the securities OF insurance
companies and these sales, as has been
demonstrated in tho past, will extend
over q considerable space OF time. A
good part Of these securities are govern.
ment bonds, aud IL has been intimated
that the Treasury will, in caso Of need,
buy IN extra amount OF bonds in
word, will give relief to the money
market II necessary. II wo are to have
ttouble, which, however, can be nverted
by wise and firm action, 1t is the opinion
OF cool heads that tho trouble will come
rather from tho foreign markets than
from tho Boston fire. There arc good
reasons, however, to believe that every
means will be nsed by the Treasury TO
restore confidence and steadincss to the
markets, and that the worst is past.

A seedy.looking individual walked into
the Crawford House in Cleveland, a few
evenings ago, and stepping up to the
register, seized the pen and registered his
name at tho loot ofthe long list of the
days arrivals. It was a noble name
George Washington Botts-wlittcn in q
firm, bold hand, and with o big flourish
underneath. IT was plain that the seedy
man was accustomed to making a flourish
In the world, If It wGrs only with pen.
'sIIaye a roomio inquired the clerk, in
cidentally measuring the man with his
eagle. eye to sec IL he wouldn't fit In ono
Of his sky Boudoirs.
"No," said seedy shortly, picking his
teeth with splinter toothpick he had
selected from the well assorted supply
always found on tile counter.
"Supper then, / supposei' added tho
clerk, preparing TO add an S to the end of
George Washington Botts' name.
@No, Sir, no supper, said Mr.. Bots,
with severity; u simply want to arrive.
Ar ar, RIVE rive, arrive. Iwant neither
room, supper nor anything else, but |
particularly desire to arrive. 1t Is q long
time since I have arrived at a hotel-0
very long timen (his voice choked alittlel,
sand thought, IL you hadn't any objec-
tion, II would like to arrive once more
before / died"
Here he was compelled to hide his emo-
tions in his coat tsil, in the absence Of q
pocket handkerchief. The clerk, always
ready to do a good action, generously
allowed the unfortunate individual to ar
rive, and George Washington Bolts,
hastily drying his eyes with a pen wiper,
wrung the captains hand in mute though
heartfelt gratitude, and then stalked
gloomily forth into darkness and the
night.

Loss Of Llre at tho Boston Fire.

Hundreds OF persons were injured,
but only iew fatally, in the progress Of
the great con1agration, q letter.writer
describes q terrible sceno which took
place at thu furnishing store OF Hickman,
on Washington street, where tho walls
had been wrapt in a deadly embrace by
the flames, and had become weak and
tottering through the intense heat. At
length they fell, and three men were
buried up 10 the shoulders among the
heavy fragments of brick and stone.
The terrible physical agony Of their
cries OF anguish which they suffered
filled the frightened crowd with horror,
but at first no one advanced 10 their
succor. After few moments two or
three men crossed the street to where
a portion Of tho wall was still oyerhang-
lug the spot whero tho poor victims were
begging and shrieking for help, and
tried by the utmost exertion Uf main
strength to pull and wrench them out OF
the horrible vice, but these efforts only
made greater their suffering, and the
bricks and other debris were still falling
ut every moment, The men relinguish,
ed the perilous and fruitleSs risk and
rotreated from the dangerous spot, and
shortly afterwards, in frightful paroxy.
igms Of pain lnd with cries that will
ring in the ears Of many of tue spectators
to their dying day, the crushed masses
Of humanity gave up the breath Of life
and were a moment afterYards buried by
another crashing fall OF the wall. a

Ing to tho Medford force, was injured by
the toppling over of another wall on
Summer street, with serious cut in the
head. Mr.. Daniel Mcclellan, OF the
firm Of Charles Crosby & Co., No 40
Water street, and IN employo went into
the building when it was blown up.
Strange to relate, Mr.. Mcclellan escaped
with only blackenod countenanco and
the natural shock to his nervous system
consequent upon such IN experience,
Tho employe also got away, but the
extent OF his injuries arc unknown.

Circumstances Alter Gases,

In his report as Secretary OF the Wis.
cousin State Society, DR., ]. W. Hoyt
gives expression to some very sensible
views on tho importance Of regarding
special conditions in agriculture. That
a man living a thousand miles from any
sufficient market, and with no means Of
transportation but wagons drawn by OK
teams, should devote his energies to the
raising Of potatoes or turnips that q
farmer having elevated lands and dry
pastures, only ct for sheep breeding,
should devote himself wholly to the
breeding and rearing OF short horn cat
tie or that o man located WITHIN 20
miles Of New York or Philadelphia, ana
upon lands admirably adopted 10 the
production Of vegetables and dsmall fruit.
should SOW every square yard Of it to
wheat and rye this should strike any
thinking and intelligent person rs the
height Of absurdity, And yet blunders
equally senseless are made by not n few
farmers, and are persevered in frsm year
10 year, Again, one would suppose that
when IN intelligent farmer saw all his
neighbors and everybody elso's neigh
bors turning exclusive attention to pork
raising, that 1t would be a good time for
him 70 raise corn, meanwhile omitting
nothing essential to steady and uniform
success. But observation proves that
such men arc rare, and the result is that
very soon everybody has moro hogs than
his own crops will supply, and corn has
goneup quite beyond reach for profitable
feeding. DR.. Hoyt says he once know n
farmer in Ohio who started out under
tho guidance OF the rule always to do
Just what his neighbors pretty generally
did not do. He was not far from being
a philosopher. Tho neighbors arc still
plodding and grumbling. Tho pLiloso-
pher las added farm to farm, owns his
thousands in bank stock, and finds no
difficulty in keeping bis temper. Another
farmer has hourishGd nearly as vol in
the practice Of doing what his neighbors
did, but doing it first. Ho was the leader
of fashion in agriculture, and was always
ready to discard tho model lie, had given
about the time tho majority adopted 1t.

Our ridc of thirty miles was nearly
ended, writes q correspondent, and We
were entering tho Valley Of Chamounix.
We were greeted here by the tInkling OF
bells around tho necks OF tho cattle. We
had heard that music for some time, but
now there was a pastoral melody upon all
sides.
It Is said that the finest herds arc pro.
vided with harmonious set Of bells,
which produce tuno as the cattle walk
home at milking-timc, resembling tho air
Of the national Swiss anthem, and that
thistu SO powerfully cxcites the feelings
of the Swiss heart in o strange land that
1t is forbidden, upon pain Of death, to be
played in tho Swiss regiments serving
France, so many dcsertions have followed
the awakening OF home longings In tho
hearts Of those who have heardit.
We entered Chamounix tired but very
happy. The fatigues OF mule-riling would
have been noticed sooner but that our
thoughts were diverted by tho continuous
panorama We wero passing. Tho proprie-
tor OF tho Hotel d'Angleterre met US most
pleasantly, aud we were taken at onco to
our rooms, and soon after met again ut
tho table d'hote.
The gay appearance of the dining.hall
would make you sooner think you were
in some fashionable circle in London or
Paris than at the foot Of Mont Blanc, in
q valley whore man had not yet brought
tho iron horse or electric spark.
The sight Of laces and diamonds, draw
ing-room airs and all the paraphernalia
of the city took OF the keeness Of Alpine
ramblings. After dinner We walked upon
the terrace to look over tho glaciers and
snow-helds Of Mont Blanc.
One could hardly help recalling his idea
OF the appearance OF Mt. Sinai, as It was
filled with the glory Of God, for the set.
ting sun had giorlfed everything. The
labor OF the Journey was forgotten in the
excitement Of our emotions, and we could
but wonder with David in the midst Of all
about US, what was man that God should
be SO mindful Of him.
