\ Lutte HERo.-The terrible fire whici
desolated Chicago, is still upon our minds
Many incidents which occurred while the
flames were devouring cherished and hap.
by homes are worthy Of record. We val
now give one as an example Of honest
faithfulness
1t is said that a wealthy widow on the
north side Of the city, was struggling
alone, on that never to be forgotten Mon
day evening, to save some Of her personal
goods, when a small and unknown boy
came to her and said
Il have been sent by your friend to
ask if | can do anything to help you.
The lady gave him box, and told him
the best he could do for her was TO take
care of that, as it was very valuable.
de disappeared with it, and she carried
trunk after trunk to place Of supposed
safety, saw them all burned, and finally
barely escaped with her own life.
All that night and the following Tues
day passed. and nothing was heard from

Vinegar is also the product OF descending
changes and is nOn-nutritive. Used as freeiy
as men drink wine whiskey, it would
destroy the health quite as soon if not sooner
In certain abnormal states of the system, II
may have value as a medicine, but no healthy
man needs it, nor is benefited by 1t, it
would promote the public health if the whole
tribe Of pickles went directly to the waste
cart, or city sewers, The only reason why
the health of individuals Is not materially
injured by the use Of vinegar is due to the
fact that 1t is only used as a relish or condl-
ment, and in too iEconsiderable quantity
to have its results apprecated.-NdttoHdJ

not only how the layers of the wood have

is attributed To the instantaneous reduction

Farm LAB)RERs. 7 following from the
inarfsaq 4gric4LtIHiH will be fully appre-
ciated by many in this section. The suzg..
ton made is a good one, and if faithfully
carried out would d0u btiess do much To
remedy the evil described
D. Many farmers have had mech to try
-hcir temper and test their patience during
the past month. Hoeing, haying and har
vcs,lug have been crowded together Men
have been scarce AM have had things all thelr
own way. And we know Of nothing more
disdgreeable than to be obliged to submit to
the dictatIOn OF a lot Of ignorant, selfish
.luccited men, who are blind to their own
permanent interests, are utterly regardless
Vi the interest Of others. 1t is useless 20
reas ~ with them All that we can do is. IT, e
moment We are through the haying season,
Is discharge those who have behaved the
worst We do not complain SO much of high
wages as Of the snort hours and Of the gen
erai HstIessness, IndiffeT encc, unskillfulness,
and Incidence of large class of farm men
sYc have all been complaining Of this evil for
some years. We have thought that it would
cure Itself. But instead Of getting better, il
. is Getting worse and worse. II is time that
the subject was carefully considered and
concerted action resorted to. We must be
Just and liberal with our men, but should
insist on a faithful performance Of contracts.
No farmer should hire a man who has brok-
en- an engagement with brother farmer.
During the latter part of this month and the
next there viii be comparatively little to do
on many farms, and dairymen can be obtain
"a at lower rates. If man has been faith

But you owe it to yourself and to the good
men, TO dismiss every man who has not
acted properly. This policy, generally car

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION OF
GREELEY AND BRowN.-The nOmin&-
ton Of Greeley and Brown by the Ma
hoHa1 Democratic convention at Baltl-
more, last week, seems to have created
great enthusiasm throughout the Union.
Ex-senator DoOlittle was President Of
the Convention; the Cincinnati platform
was adopted Greeley received 686 votes
out Of 732 on the first and only ballot,
which was afterWardsmade unanimous;
Gratz Brown, for Vice President, was
also unanimously nominated, and the
work of the convention was done. The
Liberal Republican convention went be-
fore and adopteda platform and nomin-
ated candidates; the Democratic COnVcn-
ton followed afterand adopted the same
platform and candidates. This makes
the two parties practically n party,
because they have the same platform
and candidates; and the greater credit
is due to the Liberal Republicans, be
cause they initiated the movement. If
