increased, gradually, to about seventy
men; and il there is no farther interrup-

We have received from the publishers,
tive volume OF 21S pages entitled .'Pro-
lection Against Fire, and the Means of
Putting out Fires in Cities, Towns and
Villages BY Joseph Bird" The theory
of the author is that too much reliance is
placed by communities upon the engines
and cllmbrous machinery of the munich
palties, and that insufficient attention is
given to means for snppressing fires with
in the building itself The author firmly
place, and dwelling We're, SO far as can
readily be done, made a fortress to resist

lions would cease Many instances are
given in which these tactics have stopped
the spread of fires The whole subject of
fire is reviewed, their sources pointed out
and methods of preventing them detailed
II is q very valuable volume, and so far as
we know the only one ever published on
the subject.

The Crisis Explained.

+. {. Stcdman, the poet, who has long
been Il broker in Wall street, gives the
following sensible explanation of the crash
which eliminated in that great speculat-
inc centre on Friday. the 18th inst.
The present trouble dates back to the
time when Secretary Boutwell, tried to
fund his loan from i per cent. to ) pc,
cent This was in 1871 Prudent men
said it could not be successfully DONE and
they were RIGHT. Boutwell, kept money
easy for five or sin months in the effort to
@et thc people to take his loan; but instead
of funding his own loan to any extent, he
enabled small houses to float private
railroad loans and enabled large houses to
expand We should have been back to
specie payments but for these railroad
bond spectators We have been work
inc back 10 it several times but hard
times came on and Government wouldn't
allow ii. They put out money to relieve
the Spectators The failures have been
confined to the houses started during and
since the Wm. There has been a great
Western railway expansion and the bub-
bile ha- finally exploded. as it was bound
to do, sooner OF later We have known
that the crash was coming, but | didn't
expect ii this Fail.
There j. no true reason why the trouble
should extend to the mercantile world and
ii can only do so through sympathetic
process The losses will fall chiefly on
the Specializing firms who have done
everything to retard the resumption OF
specie payments for years If the Gov
eminent Will SIT still and let them fall,
then we snail be i long way advanced to-
ward specie payment The fact is that
this is the seVerest blow that the Admins
tration has ever received. as it is the d.
rect result Of the policy of the Govern
mrnt, which has been one of initiation
whenever the Administration was likely
to be unpopular from hard times The
break has not surprised any one who
knew how business was transacted. Brok.
ers have been able to buy bonds of new
