IT Is stated that . further effort will
DO made to obtain from Congress. at
this session, another extension Of the
Wilson patent for a "feed motion " to
sewing machines. The application
was brought forward last Spring, and
ELECTED much unfavorable comment
from the press. This patent was first
granted In 1850; was relssusd two or
three times, and was extended BY the
Commissioner of patents In 1864 to
1871; thus enjoying q period OF 81
years, In which time the Inventor says
he realized during the first fourteen
years no profits whatever; but during
tho last years 1t has Melted him about
Isl, 900. To most citizens this would
appear to be q tolerable compensation;
but Mr.. Wilson declares that be Is old
and needs moro for himself and fam
ily, to secure them "from the incon-
venience Of limited MEANS" and that
the value Of his invention TO the public
exceeds 800, 700, 900.

A Missing Prospector.

DR.. H. DeGroot, a well-known pros
pector and clever descriptive writer,
started hence about three months ago,
SAYS the San Francisco Chronicle Of
yesterday, to search the wilderness OF
Arizona for gold, silver, diamonds,
etc., having been fitted out BY q gen
tleman Of this city. As he promised
to write every two weeks, and not a
line has yet been received from him,
some apprehensions for his safety are
entertained. It Is probable, however.
that The Doctor Is all right, for just
such things as this have happened be-
fore. About the year 1865 he made his
appearance In Virginia City, having
Just returned from a trip through East
ern Nevada. He reported having dis
covered a rich silver-bearlng quartz
ledge, and kindly offered to 60 back to
the spot and make locations Ii a COM
pany could DO formed to supply him
with q small amount of money for ex-
penses.
A company was speedily organized,
and the doctor was furnished with
$500, which amount, he said, would be
amply sufficient for the purpose. In a
day or two he started from Virginia
City and the members Of the company
anIiously awaited developments -
sacks Of rich ore, cleaning with
threads Of native silver, aud all that
sort OF thing. Their bright dreams
were soon rudely dispelled. The first
news received Of their hardy explorer
was that instead Of turning his steps
toward the eastern districts and noun
tains, after leaving Virginia. he had
wendell towards the west, and was
basking amid the balmy fogs Of San
Francisco, prospecting for the pleas
ures Of civilization aud spending the
money furnished BY the company.
Although this occurred nearly eight
years ago, and the doctor never made
any report whatever, the Virginia
City victims feel no apprehension
for his personal safety, and there Is
certainly no reason why the San Fran
ciscans should feel alarmed when he's
gone only three months.

LABOR.

Miss Anna Dickinson has been lee
turing at the East on the labor prob
lem. A newspaper reporter speaks OF
her as a representative Of that class
of labor which ennobles itself rather
than envies tho good fortune which has
como to others through their own indi-
vfdual exertions." She speaks with
great plainess on the relations Of labor
to capital and society, and warns
American mechanics against COM
meucing that kind Of warfare against
capital which has been tried by their
"less thoughtful brethren in Eng
land" A reason operating against
our turning out the best work here,
she finds In the fact that the trades so
far dictate the number Of years to be
served as apprenticeship that good
workmen arc nowadays rather the
result OF genius than Of experience.
Did NE. as a nation, only have to CON-
pete with ourselves, all would be we'll;
bat there is arrayed against labor In
this, rs In all countries, the trade and
commercial contest Of the world. It
Is the quality much more than the
price which hampers the American
mechanic. The reasons are that the
most critical buyers In the world are
found In the United States. In fact,
none are more so than mechanics when
they deal with their tradesmen. Eu-
rope, she said, was catering to Ameri-
car trade, and exerting all her ener-
gies to satisfy the American market.
In u opinion, she will not be ablo to
compete successfully with US II we
continue to employ cheap Chinese
labor. Talk Of the "pauper'' labor OF
Europe. and the necessity OF protection
In order that our own workmen may

We are constantly importing Chinese
to supersede our craftsmen oven In
skilled labor! Was there ever such q
mockery as this? Such an outrage on
the feelings Of the hard-asted mechan-
les Of :he United States? True, as we
remarked In a former article, there 10
no legislation to prevent the Imports

other form of the coolle system, and

U. P. R. Ron Tuesday, says the
Salt Lake Herald Of December 9th,
we had II very pleasant call from James
Campbell, Esq, late division supsrin-
tendent Of the U. P. r. R., Mt Ogden,
who had returned from a trip over the
Union Pacific II. r. to and from
Omaha. He speaks In the highest
terms Of the condition of the road and
the means adopted to prevent snow
blockades, and thinks 1t almost impos-
sble that a blockade can occur this
winter. Our agent, MI. Sleater, who
has also recently passed over the road,
expresses his astonisnment at the ex-
tent and completeness Of the means
which the company has adopted to in
sure regular travel and avoid deten-
tions during the Winter season; so
that we look tor as regular schedule
time this season as was made two
Winters ago, before the exceptional
storms Of a year ago destroyed all Or
binary calculations.

A MrSSEsorA paper states that two
acres planted with the sunflower will
furnish fuel for an ordinary family for
an entire winter-that when dry the
woody stalks burn admirably, the oil
OF the seeds affording an intense heat.
Now, rs wood Is very scarce and sx-
pensive in Nevada, why not cultivate
the sunfiower? It will grow with
very little cultivation, and In very

Mr. Graham. in Eeviewing the events of the
year, could see the onward march of the
Church. The disasters;and accidents bv land
and sea he considered as evidences that God
Is angry with the sons Of men, The social
and political movements which have taken
place in Europe inspired him with
fresh confidence in the Church's and tha
worlds progress in the future.
4 Archbishop McCloskey preached a Chrise.
mas sermon in the Cathedral, in the
course of which he presented the
Lord Jesus Christ as the lever by swhish
men are raised up to God. And though
He is no longer visibly present with us He ia
spiritually present in the sacraments, and to
receive Him in these the reverend prelate
considered 70 be the imperative duty of evezy
good Catholic. The new year should be one
of prayer for the afflicted Pontiff, that the
light of faith may break in upon the darkness
that surrounds him, and that the erring chiE-
dren of the Church may return to, her fold
again, S-' A'.@ '~As'@
Mr.. Beecher's discourse is hardly worthy
the dignity. Of sermon. II was rather an
essay on wit and good nature, with text Ia
front and Christ in the rear to give it sort
Of religious appearance; but take away the
text and few lines towards the close and it,
would make pleasant social talk for the
parlor or the lecture room. But, when we
have so many ministers who put SO little of
Christ into their sermons, man of Mr..
Beecher's prominence should never let an op-
portunity pass to lift up the Saviour that men
may be attracted to him.
DR.. Chapman protested against indiscrimi.
nate and absurd eulogies Of the dead such aa
he had heard and read lately. He protested
against making men saints after they die who
never made profession of Christianity while
living. ~ 4rM
Mr.. Talmage impressed upon his audience
in the Brooklyn Academy Of Music the value
Of faithful performance of duty, and drew
from the confagration of his Tabernacle
lesson of the fires of the last day and the i'm
portance of building moral structure here
that shall escape the fires of the future
Mr.. Camp preached an ordinary Christi
mas sermon in Unity Chapel, Brooklyn, and
DR.. Marshall also Christmas discourse
in the Presbyterian church in Hoboken.

will, perhaps, repay perusal by our readers.

the breaking up of independent State Courts,
the suppression of q free press, and all the
other outrages which have followed in the
wake of federal interference. 1t is these feloni-
ous assaults upon the constitutional rights of
State-these indications that the liberties Of
the people may be held at the mercy Of any
partisan federal Court, backed up by federal
bayonets- have startled and alarmed the
people. Apart from this they care nothing
about the squabbles of the Louisiana scala

too glad if their fight could have a termina-
ton similar to that which resulted from the
battle Of the historical cats of Kilkenny. aot

The Fire MarshaPs Report ON Our
Late Destructive Fires.

Late Destructive Fires.
The Fire Marshal, in reference to the Firs
at Barnums Museum says that in his opinion
'the fire originated under the floor imme-
diately over the boiler, and from superheated
steam, which, in its effects, is as destructive
as burning gas or gas flame, and where it is
allowed to gain strength is sure to be terrible
in its results. He says, too, that the
managers of the establishment were repeatedly
warned of this danger, but that s'these ad-
monitions were entirely neglected" With
regard to the Centre street fire, he learns that
it was caused in the printing Office, third
floor, of Dun, Barlow & Co., from negligence
with lighted paper, whereby it came into
contact with the in1ammable vapor from the
benzine with which some boys were washing
off tho printing presses, and that before many
minutes the entire interior was seething
mass Of fame He gives it as his opinion
substantially that if the elevator and stairway
adjoining-the only means of escape-had
been constructed deliberately as trap for the
destruction of human life it could not have
been more ingeniously devised. His remarks
on s'the utter neglect and want Of considera-
ton for public feeling manifested by the
proprietor Of the building" touching the
remains Of those poor girls among the ruins,
are strong, but they are evidently just and
true
The fire OF Maillard's confectionery is pro-
nounced as the result of s'one of those acci-
dents that no human foresight could have
anticipated or prevented" that, as far as it
can be penetrated, this fire was caused by
'sparks from the furnace, close to which
cocoa was roasted getting among the shells,
and these sparks, smouldering among the
warm shells, burst forth into flames in the
morning It thus appears that while Mr..
Maillard is fully endorsed in his careful precau-
tons against fire these other two destructive
copaagrations resulted fr2m the most culpabIs
negligence Of the responsible parties in regard
to the safety Of both life and property The
interests of the community call for thorough
judicial inquiry into these cases.

WHAT IT ALL AMOUNTS To.-Whenever
particularly severe disaster occurs on sea or
land it is followed by q great outcry against
some corporation or other for culpable negli-
gence or worse. But what does it all amount
to9 In few days it is forgotten, and things
go on as usual. Steamboat and railroad cor
porations pay not the slightest heed to the
public clamor. They 60 on running rheu-
matte steamers and epizootic boilers as though
nothing had happened. Dilapidated bridges
and broken rails are left untouched. Fire
escapes are unprovided. Dangerous Aues are
kept going Wooden structures continue to
go up like Father Hepworth's on Madison
avenue, and, in fact, nothing good results
from all the warnings and clamorings for
reform and Improvement. OF q surety Amer

TIE Track OF THE GREAT STORM is
marked by non,erou wrecks and disastrous
consequences on the land and sea. The full
force Of the tempest appears to have swept
the coast of New England, Ney BRUNSWICK

Atlantic to the channel Of the Gulf Stream,
along that line to the other side of the Allan
tic, serious misfortunes are apprehended.
We can only hope that q few hundred miles
out the storm was exhausted or reduced TO an
\ordinarv December gale.
