Hollands Elephant In the East.

The little kingdom of Holland is having
its Rip Van Wrinkle sleep of peacefulness
broken by the turbulence of native chief
in her PARKWAY possession of the island of
Sumatra. He calls himself the Sultan of
Atcheen, and he is the ruler of Z fierce,
warlike people, who have thus far sue
ceeded in maintaining their independence
of the Dutch. The trouble is that the
Malay pirates, who are subjects of the
Sultan, have lately been committing ex-
tensive outrages on British shipping; and
as, by treaty with Great Britain, Holland
is pledged to protect the British subjects
within the Jurisdiction Of the island as
well as her own, steps had to be taken to
stop these piratical .doings and get repara-
ton. But protests had no effect with the
Sultan Of Atcheen, and King William has
finally lost his patience and declared war
with the barbarian. Considering that the
Sultan has quite formidable army, and
the distance of Holland from the field of
operations, the war promises to become q
pretty costly matter to the Dutch, and
may prove as much of an elephant as the
Cuban insurrection is to Spain.

guished the flames. There was a fierce
wind prevailing at the time, and but for
the timely discovery of the smoke. the
fortunate presence of the gentlemen
near at hand, and their prompt action,
we should, in all human probability.
have been compelled this morning to re-
cord disastrous confagration. The
building is situated in nest of the most
infiammable material on the street, if
not in the village. The two stores al
ready mentioned are closely, if not en-
tirely, connected with Exchange Block,
three-story wooden structure, which
is attached to Clark's block; while on
West street, almost attached, are wooden
dwelling houses, and so on around to
Edison street. In the rear are, barns,
sheds, ETC., while to the south, in the
rear, are other shops, sheds, etc We
shudder to think from what, under
Providence, we so barely escaped.
Now as to the origin of the fire. Was
it the work of an incendiary, or was it
another case of spontaneous combus-
ton? We fear it must, for the present
at least, remain in doubt. Unfortunate
ly, the persons who first entered the
room after the discovery of the fire, are
unable to tell whether the room at that
time was securely fastened, or whether
it was so unsecured as to make ingress
and egress a work of ease. The facts,
as far as they are certainly known or as
certained, are as follows: In the cor
| ner of the room, or near the corner, was
large hogshead partially filled with
straw. hay, and, perhaps, other refuse
material. In this hogshead, and amid
this straw, etc, the fire was kindled,
either spontaneously or by the aid of
human hands; which each person must
decide for himself from the remaining
facts. The hogshead was covered over
with large piece of sacking-of the
same material used by peddlers for bags
in which to collect and carry rags, or
/ for wool sacks, which evidently at some
/ time had been more or less saturated
/ with kerosene, as the odor of that kind
of oil was plainly perceptible. Upon
top of this was piled number three
or four-of small packing boxes, the
whole reaching nearly to the ceiling
overhead. These are the facts and cir
cumstances, in reference to which there
is no question. All else is speculation

ALMOST A Disastrous FIRE. About
ten o'clock yesterday morning a daugh-
ter of Lonis Valliquette, residing at Nos.
10 and ID Merchants Row, discovered
smoke issuing from the end OF a shed
extending back several feet in the rear
of the building, and Immediately gave
the alarm of fire. We will state that on
the ground floor fronting Merchants
Row the building, No. Is, is occupied
by Mr.. Valiquette as a boot and shoe
store and shop, while Henry X. Dyer
occupies No. Is as a store, shop, ETC.,
connected with the plumbing and gas
fitting business carried on by him; the
family of Mr.. " reside upstairs, the
entrance being between the two stores.
By reason of the grade of Merchants
Row, the street and stores are number
of feet higher than the level OF the
ground In the rear, affording ample
room for basement beneath the stores.
The shed spoken of is also much lower
than the street, and on the same level
with the basement. In the basement,
as we'll as In the western portion of the
shed or addition, is a workshop used by
Mr.. Dyer, and in the rear of this, ex-
tending back to the western end of the
building, is a store-room used by Mr..
Dyer to store away empty boxes, bar
rels, etc, and, perhaps, a portion OF his
stock. II was from this room thai
