A dispatch from Lincoln, Nebras-
ka, says that the reports of fearful
destruction of life by prairie fires
prove too true. On ATuesdavithe
fire ran over q good portion Of the
country. Ten little children, re-
turning from school, were overtaken
by the flames, and made superhu-
man efforts to escape, but could not.
Mrs. Stillman Morely, the mother
OF two Of them, saw the danger and
rushed to their assistance, and was
burned so badly that she died on
yesterday evening. A little girl,
Stillman Morely's daughter, Jacob
Berkeley and a son OF c. c. Clark,
were burned dead on the spot.
Three others have since died, and II
Is doubtful If any will recover.
The fire 10 over a mile wide, and the
flames twelve feet high. The grass
is rank. Hundreds of grain and
hay stacks were destroyed by the
same fire. ~, =

While BrAdlaugh is rehashing the
history of Ireland for the last seven
hundred wears, in New York, and
telling Irishmen that they can do
nothing to better their estate in re-
spect of the English government
without An appeal 10 the sword, and
that they have no right, and it
would be of no use to appeal to the
sword-in 9 word, saying that
nothing il to be done about it, and,
therefore, it Is no pse talking about
IL, Mr.. Joseph Arch is talking 10
the Canadians In q manly and sem
sible way about what has been,
might, and ought to be done TO re-
lieve the English agricultural labor
err from his hard and not rapidly
improving condition. Mr.. Arch
having seen what the Canadian evil
is, Is assured that what that country
needs is the bone and sineWs, too
plentiful in England and he sug-
gests a practical. method of obtain
ing this labor. Indeed, be, had
found his plan in full operation in
one case, where Scotchman, who
had q large tract of land, had
brought out many of his country
men. and was settling them COM
fortably on small piece of land for
each. with : house, to be paid for
in labor. DTr. Arch appeals in the
first place to the governments of
Quebec and Ontario for aid in the
settlement of new lands. What his
scheme may be precisely, we do not
know, but If it is marked by his
; usual good sense, it will be strange
I If 1t is not in some way accepted.
Coming here, Mr.. Arch will, OF
course, find that all the provision
government can make has been
made. Land can be bought for a
trifie. 1t will be for him to consid-
er, as the representative of those in
Egland, to whom he is to report
: whether or not the natural adyan-
tages of this country and fits pros
pective growth, and its great de-
: mand for labor, and its educational
facilities, do not offer q wider and
better field than Canada. OF one
thing there is little doubt, Mr..
Arch will look and judge for him
self, and his report win stimulate
emigration from England. Wheth-
er the tide will turn mainly toward
Canada or this country, even Mr..
Arch is not yet ready to prOphesy'
AT any rate 'heip engaged in good
work, and he is doing 1t in quiet
aud .buslness-like way. 1t will be
interesting to follow him to his re
turn, and to learn what such a man
thinks Of US, and what he deems 70
be the future of Industry here, as
compared with the land he Is neV
hest acquainted With.<

Some ladies spend the live long day
In scanning every passer by,
And many a wonder they descry
They find among the motley crowd,
That some are gay, that some are proud,
That some are short, and some are tall,
And that some are large, and some are small
BY peepng through the blinds.
You walk the streets, lat common pace, y
You catch the outline of a face;
The face seems strange; again you look,
Dear sir she knows you like book
She knows the color of your hair,
The very style of clothes you wear,
She knows your business, III be bound,
And all your friends the country round,
BY peeping through the blinds.
She knows the Smiths across the way,
And what they dine on every day;
And thinks that their Matilda Jane
Is growing very proud and vain.
She knows the Browns AT Number -Four,
just opposite her very door;
Folks quite as poor as they can be,
For don't they sill and sew, while she
Is peeping through the blinds.
Dear ladies if you don't succeed
In gaining knowledge that you need,
Then at the window take yonr seat,
And gaze into the busy street
Full soon YOU Il read your neighbors well,
And can their tastes and habits tell;
And know their business TO 4,
Much better than your own, you see,
BY peeping through the blinds
