A Great Problem.

A calculation has been made by a Western statistician that half a million dollars worth Of property burns up every day in the United States, or $2OO, ,OOO,- OOQ worth per annum. This is an ap- paning statement; for it must be borne in mind that this is so much taken from the results of labor, and actually an- initiated. The country is poorer by just so much every year. Of course, it accumulates wealth much faster than 1t loses it yet think how much richer the country would be if the $2oO, GOO, GOO, 900 worth of property, wiped out in ten years past, was still in our possession. It could pay off the national debt and relieve us of the exactions of the tax gatherer. Is this matter not worth the serious attention of everybody, then !? Is 1t not one of the most important questions of the day-what shall be done to. save us from the ravages of the fire fend? In financial consequence, does it not stand by the side of such questions as free trade, railroad monop- oly and corruption It ought to be legislated against just as fercely and determinedly. That it may be shorn of much of its strength any one can con- vince himself by examining the causes of fires. The two greatest causes are the careless use of petroleum oils and incendiarism. Both can be put down by the strong arm of the law.

Length of Whales.

MT. Scoresby, @ very high authority on this subject, declares the common whale seldom exceeds seventy feet in length, and is much more frequently under sixty. Out of three hundred and twenty-two whales, which he assisted personally in capturing, not one exceed ed fifty-eight, and the largest of which he knew the reported measurement to be authentic came upto only sixty-seven feet. Two specimens of the rorqual or razor back whale have been observed of one hundred and five feet in length. One of these was found floating lifeless in Davis Straits, and the skeleton of the other was seen by Clarke in the Co., 'lumbia river, and must, tail and all, when alive, have measured one hundred and twenty feet. Other specimens have measured hundred, and many others from eighty to ninety feet. One cast on shore at North Berwick, Scotland, and preserved. by Dr. Knox, was eighty three feet in length. These instances seem to establish the average and ex- treme length of these animals. But with considerable credulity in earlier accounts, Baron Cuvier, the eminent naturalist, says stoutly, there is no doubt that whales have been seen at certain epochs and in certain seas up- wards of three hundred feet long or one hundred yards in length.

Careless Use of POisOns.

Persens who profess to see no danger in distributing poisons in pantries, nursery-closets, and other convenient places, to kill rats and mice, may possi- ply take warning from the fatal conse- quences which recently attended milk poisoning experiment at the farmhouse of MT. Cooper, hear Decatur, Ill. Miss Cooper, it appears, purchased @ considerable quantity of strychnine, de- posted it in basin of milk, and placed the basin upon shelf in the pantry. During her absence with the other grown members of the family at the founeral of her brother, a Mrs. Met calf, who had kindly consented to take care of the younger children, two in number, went into the pantry for some milk with which to quiet them. Igno- rant of the contents of the basin, she took it from the shelf, drank some her self, and gave the remainder to her charge. The unfortunate woman died in great agony some hours afterward; 1; the lives of the children may probably be saved, but not so that of Miss Cooper. She was so shocked at the result of her carelessness that she im- mediately became alarmingly i'll, and IS not expected to recover.

The Frankfort Riots.

From the details of the beer riots in Frankfort-on-the-M Main, which were re- ported to be confined to the question of the price of beer, it appears that other causes were at.the root of the matter
 An unsettled feeling of discontent seems to be sprlnglng up among the lower clas- ses in the Fatherland, and several of the prominent cities have already witnessed excesses of more or less serious na- ture. One of the agitators of the move- ment, in speech to the populace about three weeks since, spoke of the two great Jews, Lasalle and Christ, where upon he was arrested by the authori- ties. The mob attempted to liberate him, and having failed in this marched through the streets singing the "Mar- se1llalse," and showing other signs of a revolutionary spirit, the chief end of which was the demolition of the brew cries, as recorded in our dispatches. The worst of the whole affair is that in- nocent people had to suffer, as was the case especially in the instance of a woman walking with child, who were both killed by the troops. Germany, we are inclined to think, is not just the country to try Frenchy experiments in whether as regards revolutionary poli- tics, or the price of beer. And if any demagogue got it into his head that Frankfort could be converted into 8 Paris, a Ia Commune, the sharp point of the Kaiser's boyonet must have dis sipated it long ere this.

The Late James Brooks.

Mir. James Brooks, editor of the Ec- press and Member of Congress, died in Washington, in the presence of his family. He recognized those around him to the very last moment. He had long been in feeble health from the effect of fever which he had contracted abroad. The deceased was in his sixty third year. MT. Brooks was born in Portland, Me-, November 10, 1910. At eleven years of age he became clerk in drug store, and at sixteen became teacher. He graduated at Waterville College at the age of twenty-one, studied law, turned editor, and became cele- brated as traveller. His letters to the Portland Advertiser, descriptive of scenes and personal experiences during a pedestrian tour of Europe, were ex- tensively copied. In 1885, he was elect ed to the Legislature of Maine, and in the following year he went to New York and established the New York Doily Er- press, with which his name has been so intimately associated.
 In 1847, MT. Brooks was elected 8 member of the New York Legislature, and from 1849 to 1853 he was 8 repre- sentative in Congress from New York city, serving on the Committee on Pub lie Lands. He was elected to the Thir- ty-frst, Thirty-second, Thirty y-eighth, Thirty-ninth, (the seat in which was successfully contested by Mir. W. B.. Dodge), Fortieth, Forty first, and Forty second Congresses, and was reelected to the Forty-third Congress,
 He was a delegate to the Philadel- phia National Union Convention in 1866, and in the succeeding year dele gate to heState Constitutional Conven- tion.
 MT. Brooks was in early life a Whig, but of late years had been a Democrat and Revenue Reformer. His last days were embittered by the accusations brought against him in connection with the Credit Mobilier. These he con- tested with spirit, and to the last he hoped for the strength and opportunity to make statement to the public by which his record would be cleared up. MT. Brooks was recognized leader in Congress, and was an effective de-

Foul Air IntOxicatiOn.

Vitiated atmosphere is quite as in- furious and stupefying as the worst of alcoholic drinks. It spells every meal and kills sleep. Itis the greatest enemy of the preacher, making people stupid and drowsy. The judge and jury in a court filled, as most are, with pestilen- tial air, are as much under the influence of deadly narcotic as the opium smok- CT. The poor of our cities suffer most. It is well to preach temperance to them, butts it not also pre-eminent necessity to procure for them pure air and healthy sunlight? When we consider the al- most universal fear of draughts which pervades modern society, it seems that nothing could be more timely than a crusade against the carbonic acid in- toxication to which people are so given. For the breathing of foul air is noth- ing but an intoxication accompanied by all it's evil effects foolishly ascribed to draughts.

The Old and the New Journalism.

Curious and comical period, says Henry Watterson, in an editorial ad- dress, when Richard Smith wore unbe- coming roundaboats, and William Hyde instituted the black art of selling news papers on the banks of the Ohio; when Walter Haldeman kept books for George D. Prentice; when Joseph Me- dill pulled press at Cleveland; when M. D. Potter wheel-barrowed the forms of his paper through the streets; when Greeley, Raymond, and Bennett were obscure, and the press glorifed itself ten worthies who wrote fierce nonsense and fought duels, and hiccoughed Fourth of July orations every day in the year in exceedingly bad grammar. Journalism in those days was sort of notorious knight-errantry; @ big joke, considerably drunken and blood stained. Now and then I turn back to it and contemplate it, and whenever do so begin to choke up between 8 laugh and cry; it was so funny, it was so tragic /! have had the advantage, and may say the happiness, to be in timately associated with great man of the new school of journalism; and the very greatest man of the old school, and to mark, by comparison, the ideas and methods of both. The comparison, instructive in itself, shows the changes which have come into the life of the American press within a quarter of 8 century. In the old time the journalist was mere player, strutting and fretting his hour upon the stage, acting a part by command of his liege lord, the party leader. He was about as much in earn est in his role of ''organist" as MT. Booth is in his role of Richelieu or Hamlet; that is, it suited him and he adapted himself to it. He was the politician's squire and the party's hack neglected or rewarded aceofding to the caprice of his master. That was Prentice. With all his gifts-his wit, sagacity and courage-Prentice lived the life of 8 slave. Realizing the fact always, he only realized the cause to- ward the end. Haldeman, on the other hand, set out in life at different gait; he was self-reliant, singular compound of modesty, industry and ambition; he went "slow," and trusting to his own necessarily crude resources and ideas, the ideas and the resources of a pio- neer, he began and fought just as Me dill and Potter did, good fight with partizan and subsidized journals, w1n- ming it in the long run, as matter of course. While rejoice in the genius of Prentice and am delighted by it, proud find words strong enough to urge the self-repression, the patient and sober industry, the heroism of Potter, Medill and Haldeman. I had never fattered myself with the notion of how much I knew about the practical handling of a newspaper before I became the con- panion of Prentice, and never had the conceit so thoroughly taken out of me as when I became the companion of Haldeman.

Will of the Late Emperor Napoleon.

The following is the true will of the late Emperor Napoelon, for which let ters of administration are now applied for. The estate is sworn to amount to less then 912O,0OO sterling, and this sum is subject to claims which will re- duce it one-half:
 "This is my will. I commend my son and my wife to the high authori- ties of the State, to the people, and to the army. The Empress Eugenie pos sesses all the qualities required for ca- pably conducting the regency, and my son displays disposition and judgment which will render him worthy of his high destinies. Let him never forget the motto of the head of our family, everything for the French people. Let him fix on his mind the writings of the prisoner of St Helena let him study the Emperor's deeds and correspon- dence and finally let him remember, when circumstances permit, that the cause of the people is the cause of France. Power is heavy burden, be- cause one cannot always do all the good one could wish, and because cotem- poraries seldom render justice, so that in order to fulfill ones mission one must have faith in and conscientiously appreciate his duty; it is necessary to consider that from Heaven above those whom you have loved regard and pro- tect you. It is the soul of my illus trious uncle that has always inspired and sustained me. The like will apply to my son, for he will always be worthy of his name.
 "I leave to the Empress all my pri- vate property. I wish that, at the ma- jority of my son, she shall live at the Elysee and Biarritz. I trust that my memory will be dear to her, and that, after my death, she will forget whatever unhappiness I may have caused her. With regard to my son, let him keep, as talisman, the seal I wore, attached to my watch, and which comes from my mother. Let him carefully preserve everything that came to me from the Emperor, my uncle, and let him be convinced that my heart and my soul remain with him. I make no mention of my faithful servants; I am con- vinced that the Empress and my son will never abandon them. I shall die in the Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman religion, which my son will always honor by his piety.
 "Done and signed with my hand at the Palace of the Tuileries, the 24th of April, 1865. NAPOLEON.

A Singular Story.

A singular story comes from Ken lucky. One morning last month 8 young girl was found by her parents in her bed, insensible from the effects of chloroform, tied hands and feet with the sheets, and wound up in the bed clothes. On the window was a piece of paper, on which was scrawled several mysterious int1mations, including these: "Ime hired to do the job, and cum lots of miles, but yer looked like an angel and I carn't do it but some one will, for the villains have found out yer where abouts and will kill yer for yer fortune what is left yer by feller that yer be- friended when he was on the cars sick, he died and left all he had to yer if yer was alive on the first of June, if yer was dead it was to go to two other fellers. " The perpetrator ought to be caught, if only that he may be sent to school.

Fashionable Religion.

Fashionable Christianity in London is growing to be very amusing. People are now invited to prayer meetings pre- cisely as they are invited to a social circle or an evening party. The New castle Chronicle prints, with the excep- tion of names, dates, and places, the following transcript of 8 card, which it has received: "Mr. and Miss - propose CD. w. to hold Bible reading on evening, at half-past seven clock, when the company of friends is requested. Subject Rev. 1T. Read ing from half-past seven to half-past nine. Morning dress" Under such 8 prescription as to costume, one can faintly imagine the consternation which might ensue if a guest should arrive in business coat or an afternoon gown. It also suggests the possibility that evening, and, perhaps, even fancy dresses, may yet be allowed at prayer meetings. A writer in another reli- gious paper states that he recently gotta card of invitation, which, as far as the body of it was concerned, might have applied to dance or card party, but in the corner were the characters CT and F." After long study he discov- cred that the cabalistic sign stood for Tea and Prayers. He went and when he found them handing Bibles round on tray, like refreshments, he left dis gusted, without waiting for the Tea or the Prayers.

Ever of Thee.

A London periodical says that the late MT. Foley Hall, the author of " Ever of Thee I'm Fondly Dreaming" was gentleman of wealth and great in tellectual endowment. Admired and petted, he led a wild, helpless life, in which his wealth melted away, until he had not wherewith to buy his daily bread. The woman he had loved dis carded him. In the deepest distress he composed this charming song. A Lon don publisher gave him one hundred dollars for it-a mere pittance for such a spendthrift. Hewrote other success full songs, but in moment of weakness, depressed with poverty, he forged the name of his publisher and, notwith- standing the most strenuous effort in his behalf was made by his friends, in which the publisher joined, Foley Hall was thrown into Newgate prison, where he died, broken-hearted, before his trial commenced.
