TESTING NEW FIRE EEC1EB.-The
lively lads Of Trad Ferry No. II recently re-
eeived q new steamer from the Amosleag
mandatory, and desiring to make them
selves fully acquainted with her, gave her
strong test Sunday morning at the corner
Of Gravier and Magazine streets.
At ten o'clock the engine was put to sue
ton at the well located as above, and the
whistle announced steam in three minutes
and eight seconds In four minutes and
three seconds the machinery commenced
working, and in FIVE minutes and three
seconds water was passed through fifty feet
Of hose.
The first throw Through fifty feet OF
hOsel, through one and quarter inch nozzle,
gave 230 feet, when the pipe burst, and a
second throw became necessary. This,
with the same nozzle and length Of hose,
resulted in the engines throwing stream
276 feet six inches, when high wind
sprang up and further trial was post
pOned for future time.
The new steamer is a double pump,
second class Amoskeag highly finished
and handsomely Olndm6utou VIII hACh0A
plate, and possessed Of all the modern i'm
provements She is provided with hand
some locomotive clock attached 10 the
boiler, that the members may note the time
carefully.
The members are delighted with their
new machine, the result proving in the
highest degree satisfactory, She will go into
immediate service, and the several cotton
warehouse and preesmen in the neighbor-
hood of the enginehouse can now rest easy
in the conviction that their property is
safely guarded BY one of the finest engines
in the department.
The judges chosen for the trial were
l1essrs. f. Schneider, of Volunteer No. l.,
and j.. ZelIers Of Jefferson No. y.
The building committee consisted of

The COnYersatiOnsIlaus, Baden.

The central attraction of Baden is, of course, the Conversationshaus; so call ed, presume, because no one is expect ed to speak there except in a whisper. Why a gambling hall should be styled conversation-house is beyond conjec- ture. The name must be the result of some Teutonic vagary in which irony was uppermost. The Conversationshaus contains number of drawing, dining, reading, concert, and gaming rooms, all elaborately gilded and frescoed and luxuriously furnished-immense mirrors on the walls refecting every form and face. The gambling saloons, opening into each other, usually have six roulette and rouge-et-noir (trente-et quarante) tables, at which all the gambling Is done. They are open from an early hour of the morning to midnight, but the playing does not begin until eleven o'clock in the forenoon, and does not end until eleven in the evening. The place is as public as Broadway or City Hall Park. Every body goes in and goes out, bets or bets not, just as he pleases. There is no one to question or interrupt, to invite or discourage, any respectfully dressed or decently behaving stranger, who from curiosity, inclination, or any other mo- tive, may see fit to enter. If he carry a cane or umbrella, or wish. to leave his hat-hats are not worn at the shrine of the fickle goddess-he will find in sort of vestibule very polite lackeys, in livery much resembling court costume, who will benignantly inform him that it is contrary to the rules of the Direction to take either of those articles, or go cover ed, into the charmed presence of the chaltengers of fortune. These bedizened servants are stationed in all the saloons, ready and anxious to do any ones bid ding, with tiie expectation, of course, of receiving certain douceurs for their trouble. They are the most obedient and obsequious of underlings they will. do any thing the mysterious Direction allows--a it is far from narrow on most subjects-in the promptest and most satisfactory manner. The Direc- tion pays license of about $75,0OO year, and defrays, moreover, all the ex- penses of the establishment, amounting to as much more-which shows that the business is at least pro6table,-- Har- per's Magazjfss,

Praise Children.

There is old superstition that praise is too>good thing to be given to children, that it is too rich for their mental and moral digestion. Some parents are so afraid that child will grow proud, that they never praise him, and this course is often disastrous. It is apt to produce too much self-assertion for self-asser- tion is legitimate outgrowth of the withholding of commendation to which one is entitled-or to engender self distrust or melancholy hopelessness of disposition.
 Praise is sunshine to child, and there is no child that does not need it. It is the hign reward of ones struggle to do right. Thomas Hughes says you can never get mans best out of him with out praise. Many a sensitive child, we believe, dies of hunger for kind com mendation. Many child starving for the praise that parents should give, runs off eagerly after the designing fattery of others.
 To withhold praise where it is due, is dishonest, and in the case of child such course often leaves stinging sense of injustice. Motives of common justice, as we'll as regard for the fu- ture of the child, should influence the parent to give generous praise for all that deserves it. Of course there is a difference in the constitution of chil- dren. Some cannot bear so much praise as others, and some need great deal. It should never be indiscriminate. We remember a wonderful woman who taught school in one village until she had educated a part of three genera tions. She was one of the most success ful of teachers. But her success lay in her gift of praising with discrimination. A bad boy who was a good scholar got praises of his brilliancy sandwiched in between her admonitions for his bad behavior, and so was won to better life, and we recall a good girl who had no gift of learning rapidly, but who was saved from utter despair hy the praise she got for her untiring industry. Into the discouraged hearts of the chill dren the praises of the teacher came like sunlight. And the virtues, like oth, CT good fruits, can only ripen in the sunshine.-Hedrtb and Home.

Wesley'S Out-DOor Preaching.

Almost inaccessible to weariness or physical pain, he made his way over hill, moor, and arid mountains, often frozen by the chill blasts and thicken- ing snows of the uplands, or shivering amidst the Scotch mists yet storm and frost never checked his ardor never would he forget or pass over his ap- pointment to preach. He pressed on with the resolution of Caesar over dan. gerous roads, through inclement weather, and often rose hoarse with cold and worn with travel, to speak to the anxious throngs who awaited his coming yet he relates that as he spoke his physical pain would disappear, his vigor return, and 8 genial ardor restore his feeble frame to strength. Sometimes he preached while the fierce winds and the autumnal frost passed unnoticed over his attentive people more than once the rain descended and the lightnlngs played while he described the triumphs of faith. Over his immense audiences Wesley exerted singular influence, that was almost unknown to White6eld or his followers; his calm and thoughtful rhetoric produced results that might seem appropriate only to the most inn
 passioned eloquence. Sobs and cries broke from the sternest breasts :; strong men fell down in convulsions of misery and despair. The room in which he preached was often filled with loud out cries and wild exclamations women fell into frances and groveled in the dust 1; and these stricken cases," as they were termed, formed so marked trait of the
 new movement as to excite the reproba- tion of the cold and censorious and star
 tie the philosophical. But Wesley saw in these singular occurrences the natu- ral struggle for new life, and he at least,
 was not appalled, when his vast audience
 was shaken as if with mighty wind,
 when wild sobs and shouts of agony passed over the startled throng, and they
 fell groveling on the earth for he be- ieved the Spirit of God was moving them to repentance. Nor in any period of strong religious excitement-when
 Savonarola preached and Bernard pray ed-have similar traits of deep emotion
 been unobserved. Eugene La,orence.

A strike by the above workmen stops

A strike by the above workmen stops a supply of $679,OOO per week, or about two millions every three weeks, now being paid to their families. A strike for two months would waste a larger sum of money than the whole worlds charity to Chicago on the occasion of her great ca lamity, a charity so munifcient that even the donors were astonished at the grand aggregate of their own liberality. It would mean for each workingman the waste of more money than he could save by his labor for year.
 But this is not the whole of the &C., count. These thirty thousand working men are nearly all tenants, very few of them owning houses of their own. If they board, their rent is part of their weekly charge. With their families, av- eraging three to each workingman, they number one hundred thousand people to be provided with shelter-a number near ly as great as was burned out of homes by the great con6agration. Not much less than one-third of the population of the city are connected by some tie of dependence with this mechanic and build ing class. They have the most direct in terest as tenants in reducing rents, and this can only be done by the rapid re building of the city. If general strike should delay the rebuilding of Chicago, for every day the work is so delayed the workmen engaged in it will find an extra dollar per month added to their rent next winter.

A Sad Story.

An English correspondent, in refer ring to the laborers' revolt in the coun try, gives the following among other in stances of the condition of the Agricul- tural iaborers there:
 "A short tune ago 8 letter came to me from Buckinghampshire, asking if something could not be done to draw at tention to the condition of the farm-boys in that county. A poor boy named Geo. Knibbs, the letter said, was found dead on the roadside on 8 cold, biting morn ing in March, 1870. He was only nine years old, and had been at work three years fer farmer at Beckhampstead. The only witness was fellow laborer, a little boy eleven years old, They were day to drive in heifers to the town of Winslow, 8 journey of seven or eight miles. The youngest child wanted to take some food with him, as it was sup posed he had had no breakfast, but the farmer told them they need take no food as they would be home by eleven o'clock. A journey of sixteen miles, and to drive six heifers half the distance, was too much for the poor things. Rain and sleet fell on the journey. They deliv- cred the cattle at public house in Win slow, where they were directed. They got half pint of beer with three pen ny-worth of brandy in it to warm them, which they drank between them. They did not venture to ask for food, and none was given. They trudged a mile or two on their way back, when the youngest said he would go to his Aunt Emmas, and the eleven-year-ol boy went on and got home cold and wet The poor lad Knibbs fell on his face, and was found some hours afterward, when he had been long dead. The poor father wandered about at night till twelve o'clock, looking for his boy, and sat up for him till two o'clock in the morn ing. Next day he found out where the body of his son had been taken. The letter I received informed me that the farmer who employed the poor man stop ped out of his wages the tune employed in looking for his dead child. This is only fair illustration of the condition of penury and dependence in which the greater portion of the Buckinghamp- shire laborers really are. The Telegraph has begun to examine into the condition of the Scotch agricultural laborer. The Scotch field is fruitful one. Farming is carried out more scientifically there, as rule, than in England, but the con- dition of the patient laborer equally needs revising there. The conservative Globe reports that the wages of agricul- tural laborers are about to be raised all over the country. Public opinion is ac- celerating the force of agitation.

German Students Duels.

The house which the German students ot Heidelberg use for tteir duels says correspondent, is situated short distance out of town, and when a duel is going on, sentinels are placed communicating from the house to the town; but this is entirely unnecessary, for, although the duels are against the law, yet they are winked at by the authorities in fact, the inhabitants are rather proud of them than otherwise, and would be very sorry if they were put a stop to. The student who took me to see the duels and myself started at about half-past 10 in the morning and walked for about fifteen minutes. We arrived at the house and, after introducing me to all his corps, we sat down by table and talked and drank beer, and waited for the duel to commence.
 The duels are arranged so that there are duels on three days of week, whether provocation is given or not. The way ot it is thus The director of the duels takes the names of the members of the corps in regular order, and pairs them off, and they arc compelled to fight, although they may be the very best friends in the world, or perhaps even relations. So you see that when fellow goes into one of these corps he is compelled to fight, although he may be very peaceablc fellow for, as said before, they don't wait for provocation, but fight any way. The swords that they fight with are made of long aud very thin piece of steel, which bends very easily and is as sharp as razor, so that the least touch leaves mark. The students here are cut horribly, and some of them are really disgusting to look at, their faces are so frightfully scared. The head is the part of the body aimed at, and is, in fact, the only part that can be hit. for the upper part of the body is padded so thickly that the sword cannot cut through the padding. When fighting the sword is held over the head in such a manner that instead of sticking it slashes; and the eyes being protected by large iron spectacles, it is very seldom if ever that real injury occurs, further than cutting up their faces, and that doesn't last long, for the wound soon heals up and leaves a scar, which the students are very proud of; in fact, they don't think very much of fellow unless he has at least one scar.
 The largest corps student that ever ap- peared in Heidelberg was an American. Who came here an average-sized man, and went away something to behold, and hay ing the honor of being the best thinker, and also tue best duelst in Heidelberg. He fought something like hundred duels, and never got defeated till nearly the last one he fought, when ke got his nose almost cut off; but, nothing daunted, he stepped up to his adversary, holding his nose on with his hand, and challenged him to another dlel, which was accepted They fought, and the indomitable American, the hero of hundred duels, came out ahead, to the qualification of all his admir- ing friends. He is considered to have been the greatest man in Heidelberg (which he certainly was as regards size), and his name will probably be handed down from generation to generation, and looked up tc as something superior, something almost immortal, by the students.

THE GERMS OF DISEASE. article says, that as the result of 8 series of ex- periments on the low forms of life by heat, Dr. Grace Calvert demonstrates that the germs of disease will withstand temperature of 300 degrees Fahren- heit. Exposure to such heat as this 1njures the fbers of all kinds of cloth so seriously that they are unfit for fur ther use. It is therefore evident that the mere agency of heat cannot be depend ed upon for the destruction of the germs or corpuscles attached to the clothing of persons who have suffered from any con- tagious disease. The necessity for a change in opinion regarding the power of chlorine gas to accomplish this pur- pose is urged in recent report of the New York Board of Health on the dis infection of clothing and bedding, and sulphurous acid gas prepared by burn ing sulphur for the disinfection of rooms. The latter substance, especially, seems to have the power of utterly destroying the germs of smallpox, while chlorine frequently fails altogether, or only &C., complishes the object in an imperfect manner,

Wages in Massachusetts.

The facts developed by the Nassachu- setts Bureau of Statistics of Labor, will be read with interest at this time by all. The Bureau seem to have done their work we'll. Information tabulative rela- tive to the earnings, &c., of men engaged in the fisheries, principally on the Grand Banks, along shore, and in the bay of St. Lawrence, show the following, for in- stance. A vessel of forty to 115 tons, costing $6,000 to $10,O0O, absent from four to six months on the Banks of Newfoundland, will earn $500, the small est earnings being $500. Taking twen- y-fve separate cases the average earn ings per year is $482. The highest aver age earnings embrace the largest number of persons engaged in the business, as there is a uniformity of share to the lar gest number of fishermen, the small shares belonging to the green hands. &c.
 Referring to the work of women, illus trations are given of cooks, chamber maids, kitchen and table-girls, in some ten of the the leading counties of the State with the following result. It must be understood that in these cases board is included, and the figures given are an average of all those cases looked into by the bureau:-Cooks, 885; Chamber maids, $4.54; Kitchen girls, 29S; Table girls, $4.74; Average hours of labor per week, 66; General average earnings per year, $274,56.
