CHICAGO.

1t is not quite two years since Chica-
go was devastated by the great fire which
has made the city more than ever ia
nous in all parts of the world. The
alarm, Wednesday, was naturally great
one for Chicago, as well as for its friends.
Wednesdays fire, however, did not do
much damage, relatively considered,
though sixty-four houses would be a
considerable loss in any city which had
not SO lately and severely suffered. The
fire of October, 1871, began at the
southern extremity of the city and
spread northward, widening.its track as
it swept That of Wednesday started
from the Chicago, Burlington and Quin-
cy railroad terminus, northeast of the
old starting place, and, famed by the
prevailing southwest gale, took diago-
nal course across several blocks, consul
ming many new and inexpensively built
houses which dotted the comparatively
open spaces to the northeast The loss
falls heavily on many poor people but
the Garden City has been mercifully
spared repetition of the calamity
which will always be terrible remem-
brance

A GREAT RUSSIAN EDITOR.

Russia has as yet produced but one
great journalist, M. Katoff, editor and
proprietor of the Moscow Gazette,
which has daily circulation of eighy
Thousand copies. He is stilfa compare
lively young man, and his editorial sane
tum is sumptuously fitted up, after the
best American establishments. There
is literary of ten thousand volumes,
speaking tubes to every part of the
building, telegraph Office, and also a
genuine Russian peculiarity-a room
for the officer of police, to whom all ar
tieles are submitted before publication.
The presses are of the largest kind,
made in New York. AT first he was
disguised with his own editorials, but
his young wife urged him to persevere,
which he did to crafty her, sometimes
rewriting his articles half dozen times.
Ten years ago he was very poor. Now
he is millionaire, and the Imperial
Government at st. Petersburg respects
and fears him.

Observation-Disclosures

The number of deaths is fearful to
contemplate. The mortality is beyond
precedent, and it looks as though but
comparatively few will get well. Thus
far very few have got about, while some
linger along between life and death. In
some few instances whole families have
been swept out of existence in the short
space of one week.
The stores are all closed and all the
dwelling houses turned into hospitals /;
in fact Shreveport is one great hospital
one great charnel house. The num-
Der of interments since the LIST of Sep
TENDER sums up 226 The number of
sick is estimated variously at from 500
to 500

THE CURSE OF THE FLowERY EXPIRE.

Opium seems to be the continuing
and increasing curse of China. DIR.
Legge, who has been travelling from
Pekin to Shanghai, with a view to as
certaining the condition of the people of
Northern China, makes the melancholy
report that the growth of opium in that
country is increasing at a prodigious rate,
to the exclusion of the cultivation of
food. In one district, large tracts of
Land We're entirely covered with pop
pies, and the doctor was informed that
the cultivation only began last year.
Some land will yield profit by opium
greater than that of wheat by two,
three, four, and even six times. The
Chinese peasants love of the debasing
drug is attributed to his being " tied
down to the soil of his own district and
shut out from intercourse with his fell
lows by unjust regulations of every
sort"

The Requiem Mass.

This morning, Wednesday 9th, the
beautiful Catholic Church of our town
was the scene of ceremonies at once sol.
emn, imposing, and, in Edgefield, novel
The occasion was the celebration of q
solemn Requiem Mass for the soul of the
sanity and henored Vicar General Ber-
mingham, the founder and builder of the
Church.
From Charleston there came, to take
part in this solemn rite, two prominent
clergymen, Father Folchi and Father
Northrop; white from Augusta. came
Father Riley with half dozen altar
boys.
The Mass, which was tastefully sung
by two ladies of our community, was
said by Father Folchi, pastor of this
Church. Father Northrop, after fervid
and glowing tribute to Dr.. Birmingham,
/. to which all Edge6eld could say Amen,
preached long. able and eloquent SER
mon, expounding the doctrine of Pur-
gat6ry.
The audience was very large indeed,
and the occasion throughout one of sad
and remarkable interest.

The venality of the Press is common
subject of denunciatic~. The common
opinion is that the Press will do anything
for venel motive. This idea is a fallacy.
Many papers hold and express ideas and
theories at variance with good govern
ment and good society,"; but in the maiIf
those ideas are honestly held and main
tanned. The Press but represents all
phasessof belief, and whether right or
wrong, in all these conflicting theories
some people puttheir faith. 1t is only
by comparison and controversy that the
golden mean is established. This can
never be done by muzzling any particu-
lar organ. Let every idea have the bene-
fitof its argument, and the common sense
of the people will decide the right.
