1he Human mind, that lofty thing,
The palace and the throne - ~
Where reason sits 4 sceptered king,
And breathes its judgment tone!
Yet, who with silent steps can trace
The borders of that haunted place,
Nor in his weakness own
That mystery and marvel bind
That lofty thing-the Human mind
The Human heart, that restless thing,
The tempted and the tried,
The joyous and the suffering
The source ofpain and pride,
The seatof LoYe-the lair Of Hate;
Self-stung, seif-detied;
And yet We fisil thee ss thou art
Thou restless thing, the Human heart.
The 15umsn soul, thagstartilng eiiiiIg,
Mysterious and sublime!
The angel sleeping OE the wing, ili
Worn by the scOf of time;
The beautiftIl--the veiIed4-the e bound /.
The earth enthraned, glory crowned ;
The smitten in Its prime;
From heaven to earth in tears it stole,
That startling thing, the Human soul
And such IS man! oh, ask OF hinI-
The erring, but forgiven
II DER his vision, drear and dim,
The wrecks OF time are driven;
If pride or passion, in their power,
Can stem the tide OF turn the hour,
Or stand in place Of heayen!
He bends the brow, he bows the knee,
Creator, God, to none but Thee.

General Lees Opi"tOn OF General
Ns.AIa.


To the Editor of the New York Tribune:
SIR:-A gentleman who served with
General Lee writes: Soon after Cen
eral Meade took command OF the Army
of the Potomac, while both armies were
in winter quarters, he made demon
stration tor the purpose, doubtless. Of
feeling his adversary's position. The
movement was very unexpected one,
and it happened that nearly all of Gen,
eral Lees aids were absent for the day
when the Federal forces appeared in
our front. General Lee therefore asked
come of his subordinates for details
Of officers to act as temporary
members of his staff, AID Of these
| was one. During the brief action
which ensued some one asked General
Lee what he thought OF the new COM
mander opposed to us. and shall never
forget the measured and carefully
weighed words of his reply. 81 have
now" he said, "the most dangerous ad-
versary | have ever faced. General
Meade will do nothing which the news
papers will 60 mad about, but he will
never make mistake in my front, and
il | make one he will see it instantly
and take immediate advantage of it"
The remark struck me at the time as
the highest compliment whichany com
mander could pay his antagonist, and at
Gettysburg the correctness OF the opin-
ion was proved when the mistake was
made, discovered and instantly turned
to advantage, precisely as the Conted-
crate leader had predicted. G. c. +.

ANOTHER CONFEDERATION
INCEND1ARIEs AT WORK
THE FIRE sUBpuED'
LOSS, PROBABLY, 100000

BosroN, November 18, 1890 P. M
A fire broke out this evening on State
street. The fire department were on
the ground as quickly as possible and
hopes are entertained that it will not
prove serious. 1t is thought to be the
work of incendisries.
BosroN, November IS. IL 2. MA
second and third alarm have just been
sounded, calling out the entire fire de-
partment. The flames are spreading
with force and velocity but will proba-
bly be confined to State street block.
The fire is reported to be the work OF
an incendiary, the motive being, 1t is
alleged, to plunder the stores In the
vicinity during the excitement. The
Oriental powder works are lhreatened
and tears are entertained that serious
loss of life may result should the fire
communicate to the powder. Immense
crowds of people are in the locality,
filling the streets and materially inter-
fering with the working of the fire de-
partment.
lilo P. MA report is now in cir
culation that the coliseum has been sci
on fire.
I2 Miduight.-The fire is now under
control. 1t is not believed that it will
spread any further, and the general
a;arm has somewhat subsidized.
Bosroy, November lS.-Seldom In
the history OF Boston has there been 30
great and excitement as tonight at the
announcement OF the fire in the State
street block. The fire broke cut in the
attic OF the Wholesale grocery establish
ment of Carter, Mann IL Co. The flames
broke through the roof, mounting 10
great height and shed bright light
over a large territory. Some dsa-
| rangement in the working OF the fire
alarm prevented the immediate calling
of the fire department. but the nature
OF the building allowed the tiremen to
work to great advantage.
The second and third alarms not
only brought the fremen, but vast
crowd OF PEOPLE to the spot. The ex-
element was increased by a rumor
that the coliseum was in flames, which
latter report proved false. The mis-
take ar, se flom a misunderstanding
regarding the numbe: OF the fire box
In less than an hour the fire in the
State street block WAS checked and is
now thoroughly subdued.
The losers by the fire are Carter,
Mann & Co Danforlh, Scudder q Co.,
and Walter Baker g. Co., all Wholesale
srocers. Scudder e. Co. were burned
out in the great fire last week. The
State street block was part of Paran
Shsw's estate. The total loss has not
been ascertaineI. but rough estimate
places it at 100000.

Market Houses vs.. Meat Shops.
From, the 81 I ouis Repub,ican,l

From the st. ouis Republican,
The question of market houses vs.
meat shops is still an open one. The
general public seem to have accepted
market houses as one Of the ordinances
of nature, without thought that there
might possibly be better method OF
providing for the family ccmmissariat.
When we become familiarized by long
custom with a certain mode Of doing a
thing, we are apt to imagine that that
ia about the correct method, and any
lnnovator who proposes a new mode Ia
not by any mpal.s flattered as public
beneractor. Yet there is nothing more
true than that on the subject of market
houses there needs very great innova,
ton, nothing less than an overthrow OF
the whole system.
The question may be very pertinently
asked, why shoald the city provide mar
ket houses? Why does the sale OF
meats and vegetables require a special
mart for their disposal any more than
does sugar, coffee, tea, or any family
supplies? A consistent answer would
be very difficult to find. The great ar
oument has been that when meats and
Vegetables. especially the former, are
dispensed at some general mart good
sanitary conditions are more easily
maintained. But experience steps IN
here and shows the utter fallacy OF this
plea. We have numerous meat and
vegetable .hops in our city and not In
one of them can be found the foul odors,
the absolute charnel house smell that
peryades our best market houses. What
citizen that passes the Union market on
the west side but knows the ancient
and fish-llke smell that causes him to
hold his nose or bis breath as he hur-
ries by or, who that ever passes them
can forget the delectable odor OF chick
en- coops, goose pens, &c, that greets
his olfactories2 The difference between
the concentrated etfluvia OF hundred
sbambles and a single one is mere
question of arithmetic.
The great mass of those who pur'
chase their supplies at Union marker
only do 80 under compulsion, and at
grea, inconvenience and expense. Most
Of them live at considerable distances,
rendering a street car Indispensable
and consuming an amount OF time
which in multitudinous cases amounts 20
a prob bition of fresh meat for break
fast. For instance, John Smith IS a
clerk in some mercantile house. and
it is indispensable that he be at h's

Steam Street Cars-Au Interesting
Experiment..

From the New York Evening Post.l
The horse disease has turned the at
tention of street railway officers to new
means for propelling their cars, and On
Saturday evening an experiment with a
steam car was made on the Bleeker
street line, which, in consequence Of it's
sharp turns and steep grades, offers
more obstacles 10 its successful use than
any other in the city. The trial, how
ever, was eminently satisfactory to the
President and other officers OF the road
who made the trip from Tenth avenue
to Fulton ferry. Without external aid
1t easily turned the sharpest corner, and
on the top OF the steep grade in Elm
street it was stopped, reversed, and
backed down the decivity, re-
turning without the slightest hind
rance. The car, which was invented in
Newark about two years ago, is known
as the Remington steam car Only one
other, which is now running at lion,
New York, has been manufactured by
the Remington Company. 1t is OF the
size Of an ordinary street car and near
ly the same appearance, the machinery,
embracing a compound engine Of five
horse power, occupying the front
platform, which is also provided with a
box containing coal enough for half a
day. Ouly two men, a conductor and
engineer, are required 10 run the car,
which can be stopped very quickly
by suddenly reversing the engine.
With light load and on a straight
track it is said to have run at the rate
of twenty-five miles an hour. The Car
at Ilion has carried forty persons and
drawn second car containing similar
