The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1873-11-01

In Virginia City, Nevada, a gentleman
has placed ON each side of the gravel walk
leading from his front gate to his door a
handsome iron fence, the top rail of which
is made of gas pipe filled with small holes.
Before he thus fenced his walk he was
much troubled by book agents, map ped
dlers, and persistent life Insurance men,
but now all is lovely with him. When he
sees man enter his gate with books under
his arm he simply turns cock, and instant
ly thousand streams of water dart across
the whole length of the walk from side to
side. The book peddler retreats to the
gate, gazes wistfully up the walk for atime,
concludes the man of the house does not
want to see him, and then travels, wonder
ing what sort of internal machines people
will next invent for the Encouragement of
honest industry.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

A destructive prairie fire occurred re-
Gently in Southwestern Nebraska. The
fire originated in the Otoe Reservation,
October Ia, and travelled northeast dis
tance of over twenty-five miles, destroying
everything in its path. Near Wilbur, and
ten miles south of Crete, the avalanche of
flames approached a school-house filed
with children, number of whom rushed
out and endeavored to escape; ten of
them, however, were overtaken, three Of
whom were burned to death, three fatally
injured, and four others very severely
MANNED most of them girls seven or eight
years of age. Mrs. Morley, the mother of
three of these children, in her endeayors
to save them, was so terribly burned that
she cannot recover. Immense quantities
of grain and many houses and barns were
destroyed. Much suffering is feared in
consequence.
A stock freight train on the Chicago and
st. Louis Railroad ran off the track at the
Normal Stock ards, ON the morning of
Oct. l6, by which three freight cars were
demolished and several persons badly in
iured.
The Executive Committee of the State
Oranges of the Mississippi Valley met in
convention at Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 16.
A. j. Stewart, Of Missouri, was chosen
President, and Thos. Z. Smith, of Mime
sofa, Secretary. Delegates were present
from the States of Minnesota, Iowa, Mis-
eoy1,.; NF;oh;rar, Ty.d;ora TIJ:,,o;e Ka,,aa,
Mississippi and Wisconsin. The import
ant subjects to be considered are cheap
transportation and the improvements of the
Mississippi River.
Chief of Police A. H. Brown, OF Provo,
Utah, was shot and probably mortally
wounded, October l5, by Harrison Carter,
a drunken rough.
Judson Block, the principal business
building in the town of Evanston, H., was
burned on the night of Oct. Is.
The American House, at Minneapolis,
Mimi, was burned on the night of Oct.
Is, and Cyrus Gray, of Forest Lake, Mimi,
who was somewhat deaf, and it is sup
posed did not hear the alarm, was burned
to death.
The fight between the Brule Sioux and
the Panca Indians, Oct Is, resulted, ac-
cording to the latest reports, in the killing
of twenty on both sides.
D. E. f. FL. Borges, Brazilian Consul at
Boston, committed suicide Oct. II by shoot
ing himself with pistol. The cause is sup
posed to have been financial embarrass-
ment.
During the ceremony of laying the cor
ner-stone of the Methodist Episcopal
Church at Brooklyn, Oct. II, the platform,
ON which a large number of spectators
were standing, gave way and several were
injured, but only one, Mrs. Hodgson, seri-
ously.

PITH AND POINT.

WHEN is lawyer most like mule?
When he is drawing up conveyance.
SPARE moments are the gold dust of
time. Of all the portions of our life, spare
moments are the most fruitful in good or
evil.
BETTER to eat thin soup from earthen-
ware, if you owe your butcher nothing,
than dine off lamb and roast beef, and
know that it does not belong to you.
WHAT relation is a loaf of bread to To-
eomotive? Its mother. Why? Because
bread is a necessity, and locomotive an
invention. and we all know that necessity
Is the mother of invention.
IT is now announced on the authority of
that seminent physician that it is not
healthy to rise before eight o'clock in the
morning. This applies only to men.
Wives can rise at seven and start the fire
as heretofore.
1T is hardly safe, nowadays, to name
mountain or baby after man till he is
dead. He may embezzle or take back pay,
or become a dreadful railway autocrat, or
a candidate for the Presidency, then you'll
wish you hadn't done it.-Grace Green
wood
A SUNDAY-scHooL teacher, explaining
the first chapter of Genesis, asked: sWhy
did God command them to leave the fruit
of one tree unteuched?' A dead silence.
At last a little girl spoke up, and said
Please marm, I think he wanted them to
leave some for manners ~
INNOCENCE is not virtue, and those who
fancy that it is make fatal mistake. In
nocenee is simply ignorance of evil ]; virtue
knows it, appreciates it, rejects it. In
fancy is lovely in its innocence; but life,
with its stern realities. demands the
strong, ripened vigor of manly virtue to
resist its evil, to protect its good, to build
up character, and to bless the world.
One of the wittiest as well as one of the
most brilliant men Pennsylvania has pro-
duced was the late George w. Barton, OF
Philadelphia, who once occupied seat on
the bench. Trying case before judge
who was chiefly remarkable for obtuse-
ness, he took occasion to say that he had
often seen great ass in judicial robes.
$ You speak from experience, suppose y
was the angry retort. Not at all, = re-
piled Judge Barton, I am speaking di-
rectly from observation

smoky Chimneys.

The evil of smoky chimneys is often
curable, sometimes not. If found to arise
from too small fiue, roughly finished,
and affordiDg obstruction to the free pas
sage of smoke or of the machine that
should clean the chimney, there is but lit
tie encouragement to try a cure; but 1t
the f1ue is OF the proper size, it is worth
while to observe what opposing circum-
stances exist to impede its proper work
ing.
In country places, oftentimesa tree too
near to chfmney-top viii stop the current
of air, and cause a downward draft The
remedy is not necessarily the removal of
the tree, which may be valuable, bit such
a change IN the form of the terminal as
viii take advantage of all winds that blow
except from the quarter cut off by the tree i;
and as the down draft is nearly always cut
off by an eddy thrown back from the re-
sisting bulk of the tree, by closing the top
of the chimney at the side nearest the tree,
and leaving it open upon the others, an
efeetual cure will generally be wrought.
Another and common cause of smoky
chimneys Isl the thinnesses of the internal
walls of the fiues. The air cannot ascend
if of low temperature, so the current will
not have proper flow until the inside of
the fiue has become warmed; hence the
obstinate persistence in smoking when the
match is first applied, and the necessity for
burning shayings or paper in order to heat
the iue, to the danger of igniting the SCOT.
A coating of cement is sometimes applied
to remedy this.
A still more usual defect is to be found
in the improper construction of the mouth
of the chimney, which is often not roomy
enough to permit the products of slow
combustion to rise unimpeded by the
downward current descending from above.
Inlall cases there must be space enough
for the mingling of these two opposing
forces, and for the conversion of the down
current into an upward by the warmth i'm
parted to it by the smoke and flame. A
register CRATE will, TO certain extent, effect
this by diminishing the aperture for escape
of heated Vap0rs, and SO leaving space
above the flap for the circulation of the air
contained within the flue; cup-shaped
chimney win also effect this. Smoky
ehimneys are well styled intolerable nui-
sahces, tending to try the patience and tenn
per of heinmates of ahouse. but the cause
of the trouble depends upon too many cir
cumstances' to permit more remark. Brief
lyl the mischief is to be attributed always
toibad construction, workmanship, faulty
materials. and can only be mitigated or re-
moved by special study of each existing
case. Once for all a chimney to draw well
ought to be constructed narrow at the
throat, just above the fireplace. ce.-Anaers-
cabs Builder.
