Fires and Servants.

Blessed are they that live in the zones
where little fire is needed. In the cline which
most American people inhabit. and with the
peculiarly noisome variety of servants which
prevails from Cape Cod to the Rio Grande,
life has come to be q most unlovely thing.
Fire is said to be good servant but bad
master. True to the letter. But when bad
servants are put to the making OF worse
fires, the case is too distressing to be htly
described in words. Fire at best we hold to
be nuisance. In q properly regulated
planet there shoald be no need for other
heat than that which comes from the solar
ray. Rightly utilized, this heat would make
all climates temperate, and in midwinter the
caloric OF the tropics, difused in tubes, would
make even the poles to blossom, and put
coal dealers to open shame.
In the first place, fuel costs heavily.
Then chimneys smoke, stove pipes get dis
located, and CRATES drop down. But the
maddening thing about lire is the kindling.

,ArEs GIVING REPUBLICAN MAJOR1TIES IN THE
LAST STATE ELECTIONS.

According to this statement, it Will be
seen that the Republican candidate would
receive majority OF ninety-fve elect oral
votes. But The Nation argues that several
States put down as Republican can by no
means be relied upon to cast Republican
electoral vote in 1872. Among such States
are New York, Pennsylvania, California
Connecticut, together with Louisiana, South
Carolina, and, perhaps, Mississippi. Should
New York, together with California, Connec-
ticut and Louisiana, or South Carolina, pro-
nounce against the Republican candidate,
his opponent would have majority Of eleven
electoral votes. Should the four last-named
States, together with Pennsylvania, prove
Democratic, and New York Republican, the
Democratic candidate would have majority
OF twelve electoral votes.

The iobbing OF poker in CRATE Is SIMPLY
horrible. The acufling to get clnders out
of n stove is fearful tax on human pa
tience. The rattling Of Goals as they come
out OF scuttle is something that imperils
the immortal soul. Worst OF all, these woes
come all together in accursed combination,
and at that precise time of the morning
when the least noise is unendurable. NO.
bodys temper is sweet at daybreak. And it
is needless to tell US that the ordinary
human being who has to get up in the cold
ard make fires for other extraordinary
beings, does 80 with any feeling but a tiendish
feeling. The restraining fear OF the lash
might keep the fre-kindler within humane
bounds. Naught else on this earth. he
Jobs, and he rakes, and he scrapes, and he
rattles and he clatters, with diabolical de-
light. He has no idea Of letting you sleep.
Not he. He'd see you further first. And as
the servant of the period is not going to I'm
prove, we may count with certainty on
rapid increase OF these morning torments.
1t avails nothing to suggest return to
the good old-fashioned wood fires. Possibly
you might get the wood, but the well-trained
servant who crept noiselessly in and out, leaV-
ing you not to be awakened, but to become
dimly conscious OF the cracking flames, and
then sink back into the inefIable second nap
that servant is gone. He is dead as Hec-
tor; extinct as the Dodo; we shall see him
no more.
Anthracite coal is an abomination in the
eyes OF gods and men. But there are varl-
cites OF woods. All is not seasoned pine,
hickory or oak. There is green wood-green
pine, for instance. 'Tis grievous Vegeta-
tion to the soul Of man. Then there is the
sour wood, that sends out sour smoke that
makes you weep as if you had lost your
nearest friend, and curse as if you had drawn
a blank in lottery. Lastly, there is the
sobby wood, one two-horse load of which
dropped end foremost into the bottomless
pit would extingulsh its fires.
T. No, there is no cure but in the economical
ton of the solar heat as already suggested.
But the day of that achievement is afar OIL
Meantime we are all, servants, masters and
mistresses, going to the bad. The temper OF
coming generations will be the psychica'
reflex of nitro-glycerine. Amiability In men
will depart. Sweetness in women will ab.
couatulate The number OF saints, present
and prospective, will diminish. 1t is con-
ISOLATION to know that there is place where
fires need no kindliug, and that is all the
consolation there is in this matter.

The Strength OF the Parties.

That able exponent of Republican sentl-
ment, The Nation, makes a calculation as to
the comparative strength OF the two parties
in this country, founded, first, upon the re-
turns Of the elections for the present House
of Representatives, and, second, upon the
result OF the most recent State elections.
Without advancing an opinion as to the ac-
curacy OF its figures, we abridge its state
ments, as matter of information and inter.
est to the political student. According to
The Nation, the electoral vote OF the country,
as represented by the last popular vote Tor
members of the House of Representatives, is
divided as follows, the number OF electoral
votes set opposite each State in the table
being the number to which the State will be
entitled under the new apportionment bill,
which will probably become law:

1t will be seen that could these figures be
taken as trustworthy, the Republican candi-

three hundred and ll;ty seven electoral votes,
receive a majority OF only seven. But il we
suppose that either South Carolina, Arkan-

CARL sCHURZ's CHARGE OF BRIBERY.
NEW YORK, July PA Herald'S Washing
ton telegram says that dispatches were sent from
ST. Louis last night to the president and mem
ber5 Of the cabinet, requesting an authoritative
denial of Senator SChurz'S assertion that he was
approached with offers of patronage to support
the San Domingo scheme, and that full au-
thorized contradiction of the senator's story is
promised by the presidents friends as soon as
their present knowledge is re-confirmcd by his
arrival from Long Branch.
COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION.
A competitive examination will be held on
the ID of August for the purpose of filling a
vacancy in the office Of deputy controller of
currency.
CORN AND WHEAT.
The July report of agriculture says the re-
ports OF corn from 9S9 counties usually produc-
ing zoo, 900, 900 bushels have been received, and
usually indicate an increase OF three per cent
in average. OF the reports, 263 place the cOndi-
ton above 100, 413 below. Wheat, average
condition same as last month, "a; quality, uni
formly superior wheat will probably make the
present crop of equal yalae to last year.
CHARGE DENIED.
The charge made by Schurz that he was offer
cd official patronage by the president or his
friends to vote against his convictions of duty
in regard to the annexation of San Domingo, is
pronounced absolutely unlounded by the presi-
dent, who says: In no way was any one even
authorized to tender Schurz or any senator the
control or use of any patronage for the approval
of any measure Of the administration. The
president expresses the earnest desire that
Schun will at once publish the letter he claims
to have in relation to this pretended proiler.

The LAKE QUTNsIGAMoND BOATING CLUB.
As was announced few days ago, arrange
ments are being made for the formation of
boating club at the lake, and the erection of a
suitable house to contain the boats of members
of the association. The matter is in the hands
of Il few energetic young men, who take a lively
interest in athletic sports, and wish TO put their
iayOrite pastime upon a substantial basis that
will secure for it a responsibility that has not
always characterized aquatic contests in this
vicinity. The boat house to be erected will
contain accommodations for all sorts of boats,
and when completed will probably be filled with
a good assortment of shells, lapstreaks, pleasure
boats, yachts, and other craft. A set of articles
has been drawn up for the government of the
association, and a room will probably be secured
in the city for the meetings of the club. The
name of the association is to be the
Lake Qunsigamond boating Club"
Such an organization has long been needed 10
this city, and in case Harvard and Yale decide
to withdraw from the college association and
come back to Quinsgamond for their annual
contest, as is now quite probable, it will proba-
bly, take charge Of all matters connected with
the regatta, as the Springfield club have done
during the past two years. As it will take some
money to start this enterprise and perfect it in
all its details, subscription papers will be put in
circulation Immediately to raise the necessary
funds.

LONDON, July 23.-ln the commons, this af-

subject of the arrival of French communists in
England, during which a significant question
was put to the government, by Sir Robert Peel
member for Tamworth After abiding to the
fact that Germany had expelled the JesuitS,
Peel asked the premier whether the government
intended to enforce the section of the Roman
Catholic relief act of 1929, which provides for
the Punishment from England of all members
Of the society of Jesus?
Mr.. Gladstone, in reply, said that the subject
was an important one and must be taken into
serious consideration by the government. He
added, though the law in question was now
nearly half century old, no steps would yet
be taken for its enforcement.
