TERRIBLE PRAIRIE FIRES.
Fearful Destruction Of Property

One of the most destructive and ter
rible prairie fires probably ever wit
ness I'd upon the western prairics,
swept over this country last Monday
night and TUESDAY. The day had been
one of usua! sunshine and warmth with
"A slight prevailing north wind, which
increased into terrible wind-storrn
after shutdown, bringing down with it Il
line of devouring fire many miles in
breadth. When the fire struck the
heavy grasses of this valley twenty
miles north. lis onward march became
perfectly irresistible. tapping up into
lis insatiaie NAV stacked grain and
hav. barns. stables and other improve
ments. and in some instances cattle and
horses, and, we fear, human life. The
conductor of the night train, Mr.James,
informed us that its progress down the
valley was for quite a distance equal
10 twenty miles an hour. The fire
swept on across this county and into
sumner. We dread TO hear the details.
We hear tina! in some neighborhoods
men. women and children were out
fighting the fire. endangcring their
lives TO save their property.
We have as yet learned but little of
the damage done. Two or three houses
ia the suburbs OF Sedgwick City were
burned, we hear. The town Of We'll
lington, county seat of Summer, came
very hear being deyonrcd by the flames.
We hear further that seventy-fiyc head
Of cattle in one herd near Jester creek
were consumed. Along the line Of the
railroad, between here and Peabody,
thousands upon thousands of dollars
in value in grain, hay. cribs and barns
are Row ashes.
Mr.. j. c. Morse, living on the Little
river, in Park township, lost, on Nom
day night. 5000 bushels of corn. 90 tons
of hay. stable, harness. tools. farming
implements and so forth, amounting to
not less than $1,000.
Negro Dick, as he is known, lost
hi. corn. hay and stable.
Mr. Hyginbottom lost, on Sunday
aud Monday nights, about 100 tons Of

The report is that the rate of discount
at the Bank of England was to be ad-
vanced, on Thursday of this week, to
ten per cent. This is the rate reached
in 1853 and in 1866, during the great
English crisis of those years. and was
followed by the immediate suspension
Of the bank act, and the consequent
"iDflation" of the currency, which so
many American financial doctors seem
to dread with such holy horror. An
other large drain of gold from the bank
vaults, for shipment to this country,
was made on Saturday.

The Mobile Register says that civil
suit for $500 was recently tried before
a jury of eight white men and four col
Ored men, in Sumptcr county, Alabama,
in which the learned jury returned
verdict of man slaughter in the first
degree. Not member ofthe jury knew
a single letter of the alphabet. Upon
delivering the verdict, the foreman re-
marked that inasmuch as no one was
killed they decided to render verdict
of manslaughter, and not of murder,
as was originally intended.

democratic gains in the November cleo
ton. This is significant when under
stood, as the only state where demo-
Gratis, as such, show any gain is in New
York, where tammany has revived and
regained control. The result in New
York is democratic success, and
proves John Morrissey to be better
leader than HoratiO Seymour. John
will now be a formidable rival to Thur

The Lawrence journal thinks that q
valuable amendment to the tax law
would be a rebate of five per cent. upon
all taxes paid before the first of De-
ceinber. This would bring funds into
our various treasures in lime to meet
accruing demands on the first of Janu-
airy. Very little is now paid until
within few days from the time the
penalty attaches, and as consequence
our treasures run dry just at the time
they have important demands to meet.

their attention to something besides
the cultivation Of cotton and sweet po-

says: 'The time has come when other
occupations besides cotton planting
should come to the front in Georgia.
To the indefatigablc and persistent en-
ergy Of one Of our citizens we owe the
development of perhaps the finest cop
per mine in America. The people Of
Barlow county will produce this year
81 ,000,0 worth of iron, lumber and
lime. We trust that in less than twen-
ty years the iron interests Of Georgia
will surpass the cotton crop"
