The fire in Boston furnishes the papers
of that city texts for editorials, some of
which will bear repetition. The Globe
says by this event another warning is
offered as to the danger of erecting build
ings SO high tina. their upper portions are
above the reach of stream of water from
a powerful steam engine located in the
street. The evils of wooden cornices and
of Mansard roofs made of inflammable
materials are also demonstrated anew by
this catastrophe, rs well as the vital nee.
essity of building the floors and partitions
of large warehouses Of solid fire-proof ma
terials instead of open-work kndling-
wood. We are also taught anew the i'm
portance of having wide streets instead OF
narrow lanes between blocks of buildings.
so that burning structures may be readily
approached with the exinguishing appar-
atus, exposed property more readily re-
moved, and the flames prevented from
reaching from one side of the street to the
other. No man in the City Council who
ever voted for sixty-fect street, will ev-
or have any occasion to regret his action,
in view of yesterdays experience. Co.
pious water supply is another lesson which
every great fire cnforces. We are told,
though it seems incredible that it can be
true, that at some points. yesterday, there
was not water enough to be had to supply
the wants of the engines.
Short supply was the mischief at the great
November fire, but there has been ample
time in six months to remedy all that. and
the deficiency, if existing, is inexcusable.
One more preparation for effective man.
agement at great fires is needed, and that
is an organized guard ready for service
at moments notice, and prompt to take
full possession of the burning section as
soon as the conflagration assumes serious
proportions

WHAT DID Iris no longer the question
since the introduction of the Centaur Lin
iment. When we meet an old friend who has
been shelved with rheumatism, or see per-
son mangled underneath rail car, and re-
stored to shape and comeliness, we now know
that it is the Centaur Liniment that does the
work. No other article ever did perform such
miracles. There is no swelling it will not
soften, no pain it will not soothe, or lameness
it will not cure.

Mr.. JAMES /. FELLOWS.
DEAR SIR While in Windsor on visit in
December last, fell in with an old friend
Capt. II. Coflill-and finding him looking so
hearty and robust. was led to inquire what had
produced the great change, for when last saw
him two years previous, he was a mere skele-
ton. He Informed me that your very valua-
BILE Syrup of Hypophosphites had effected a
perfect cure. He persuaded me to try the
Syrup for Bronchitis, from which l had suf-
fered much during several years. l pur-
chased one dozen of this Syrup, and have
used only three bottles, and my health is now
better than it has been for years. Not re-
quiring the balance of the dozen, sold it to
different parties, and now there is general
demand for it from all parts.
Respectfully yours, w. j. NELSON.

A CHARACTERISTIC LETTER FROM
SENATOR BROWNLOW

To d. H. mn, late Lteutenont Genera ofhe
Rebel Army:
Sir: An article of yours which recently ap-
Feared in the Charlotte On. c. Home, of
which you are the editor, l find going the
rounds Of the newspapers, in which you make
an attack upon the character of the late Gen.
Candy, and other deceased officers of the
United States army. In this editorial you do
me the honor to bitterly denounce me. l say
honor, for | esteem it an honor for any man
who has been loyal to his country to be black
guarded and vilifed by you. Were l so un-
fortunate as to be the recipient of your COM
mendation should feel like exclaiming, as
did Socrates when applauded by bad man
like yourself, "What crime have ] commit
ted!"
You exult over the death of the brave
Candy, assassinated by savages, and attri-
butte his death, with that of A brsham Lincoln,
Edwin NJ. Stanton, George II. Thomas, Pro-
fessor Mahan, of West Point, ex-senator
Preston King, of New York, and the late
Senator Lane, of Kansas, to a retribution Of
Ged, because 10 the late civil war they OPP.
posed the effort to destroy the Government
of the United States.
You say of General Candy that while he
was in command at Richmond Va, lie '.per-
sonally experimental the hanging of white
man up by the thumbs for kicking an inso-
lent negro" Now this is your version of
Canoys conduct, and the whole editorial you
nave written breathes 80 fendish and brutal a
spirit as to make you unworthy of credit.
Besides this, General Hill, the whole life
OF General Candy gives the lie TO your asser-
ton that he did anything vulgar, inhuman or
unbecoming high-toned soldier. CANDY was
man Of learning aud ability and Christian
gentleman as well as a model soldier. am
not prepared to deny that within Canby's de-
partment a white man was tied up by the
thumbs. While he was commanding at Rich
mond a negro, under the Constitution of the
United States as amended, which Candy was
sworn 10 support, was entitled TO all the rights

good from the 18th to the Goth, inclusive. A

no fatal cases.

and well-merited rebuke to those Southern
