A writer in the Argus who pretends to
be temperance man, but probably is
bird of another feather, complains ofthe
course of the republicans in this State in
relation to temperance, and advises the
Rohibitionists to come out and leave the
party. Has this writer heard from New
Hampshire There the prohibitionists
separated from the republicans in the last
State election, and the consequence was
that but for the votes of the republican
members of the legislature the prohibition
law would have been repealed and free
rum law enacted in its stead. The repub-
licans and few votes from the demo-
cratic side saved the law. We should
think that examples like this might gain
the republicans some credit as temper
ance supporters, and probably it does
with the larger part of prohibitionists.

The fire in Chicago has caused heavy
loss, but in comparison with the great fire
of 1871 it is small affair. The loss of
property by the recent fire is estimated at
four or five million dollars, and though
many families have been rendered home
less. there will be no suffering that the city
is not abundantly able to take care of with
out outside assistance. In the fire of II
an area of POO acres was burned over,
800 human lives were lost. about II 800
buildings were destroyed, 10000 persons
were deprived of homes, and the property
swept out OF existence was estimated at
$500, 1000, 900. Wooden buildings, a brisk
wind, added to the breaking of kerosene
lamp or sparks from cigar or pipe are
all the elements necessary to make a first
class fire in any town or city. If in addi-
ton to this there is none or poor fire de-
partment, nothing but miracles can pre-
vent disastrous CONGREGATIONS.

OPERA HoUsE-A thoroughly delighted
audience was that which assembled at the
Opera House last night to wit
ness the play of "Wild Oats"-that pleas
ant old English comedy which has charmed
numberlesS audiences in the past, and will
continue to please through many coming

Miss Josie Croker has made very favor

laurels last night. Her enunciation is clear
and distinct. She never misses her
cue or lacks for word, and
her manner is very graceful and
winning. Wallace, as Ephriam Smooth,
was an immense success, his ''yea verify"
never failing to cause a storm Of hearty
laughter. The Farmer Cannon of Lang

Rowermau,s rruuk.

Mention was made in this paper Of the
fact that the negro BOwerman, who was ar
rested in this city in company with the
white girl Rudduck, had expressed trunk
through from Wilmington, Ohio, to Con-
cord, East Tenn. An effort was made to
have the trunk ordered back, but, thus far,
without success. The following is the
substance of a letter received in this city
yesterday with regard to the matter, from
Outcalt, the constable who came down
from Ohio after the parties:
WILMINGTON, Nov. 16, 1ST4.-Mr.
-: went to see Bowerman, and he re-
fuses to give the order. We wish to get
the trunk, because Hattie has all her
clothes in it, and | think the money IS in
the trunk. Go to the express Office and
tell Capt. Thatcher this, and ask him to
please send an order for the trunk and
send it to me, and we will stand between
him and the negro. Yours,
"CHAs. S. OULCALT, Constable"
Oulcalt had been written to, to the effect
that the trunk could not be ordered back
to Wilmington without an order from the
individual holding the receipt from the
express Office. BE was again written to
the same effect, last night. Meanwhile,

The following dispatch appears in the
Cincinnati Gazette, dated at Wilmington,
OHIO, the day before;
"The cOlored man Bowerman, who was
brought here from Nashville, Tenn, &C
companied by his white girl lover, and was
lodged in Jail on charge Of grand larceny
(the seduction could not be made out) was
arraigned before Justice Walker to-day,
for a preliminary examination. Levi
Mills, prosecuting attorney, assisted by Hon.
r. E. DOan, appeared for the prosecution;
for the defense, f. G.. Stone, Hon. John 5.
Savage and c. B. Dwiggins. The case is
being ably handled, especially the defense.
The testimony shows that the girl was the
principal in this larceny, and that Bower
man was only an abettOr. 1t seems to be
concocted plan to prosecute the man, because
he is c0lUred, and let the girl loose. Ofcourse
she is perfectly innocent. We leave that TO
the opinion of candid world. Mills blows
about administering the law without fear
or favor, but all that blowing turns out TO
be nothing but wind, especially in this case.
The case is very interesting. 1t will prob
ably close tomorrow.

Don't Bore the Editor.

In the course of a sensible editorial on
the subject, untimely visits to the editorial
sanctum, the Cincinnati Gazette has the
following to say, speaking of the recent
visit of an interviewer: He found seVeral
persons in the office, all at work, who did
not drop their pens and rise to their feet
when he approached. They answered his
questions IL as few words as possible, aud
without looking up, perhaps. That was
not polite, but it is species Of impOlite-
ness that has become a necessity in
the editorial rooms of newspapers,
and people who visit such places
on their own business must calculate upon
apparently cool receptions. Not all who
visit editorial rooms are intruders or bOres,
but a great many are, and these are so nu-
merous that all visitors are looked upon
with some degree Of suspicion until their
business becomes known. 1t is never
pleasant to be interrupted in editorial work.
1t has a tendency to make men ooSs.
There is a pressure upon editors. They
work nearly all the time under pressure.
Often their ideas do not flow freely, and
when they are not pleasing themselves
they are not in a mood to spend much time
upon those who interrupt them.
we suppose IL ID SAT- " say IHas 'nACc
fourths Of those who cali to see "the edi-
tori have no business properly withthat in
dividual. Often they do not know him
personally, and in order to find him they
Interrupt half dozen or dozen men, who
have important work To do, and only lin
tied time to do it in. Then, if they receive
short answers, they feel aggrieved, and talk
about impolite treatment.
The editorial rooms of a newspaper es-
tablishment are private, and are only to be
visited, except as matter of favor, by
those who have business that concerns the
editor. The best way, if people have some
thing to say to an editor, is to write that
something down and send tito him. This
would save time on both sides, and answer
q better purpose, nine times out Of ten,
than personal interviews.

ON THE RAIL.
The Responsibilities of n Railroad
Engineer-A Moment Of Terrible

Int OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES VI - AA%NAANOtNH
EnEineer-A Moment Of Terrible
Suspense.
Much has been written of the terrible re-
spOnSibility assumed by a railroad en-
gineer. Tie immense power of the engine,
the helplessness Of the hundreds of paSSen-
gers, the slight accident necessary TO send
the rushing train headlOng from the rails
and its living freight into eternity, the
danger of crushing to death or horrible mu-
tilatiOn of any luckleSS individual happen
ing TO hnger upon the track but an instant
too late-all these have been pictured by
the pens of masters.
And this great sense Of responsibility
was felt one night last week by the engi-
neer of a nOrthWard bound passenger train
on the Decatur road. He had Just left Elk
mont, Ala, and as the criSpnight air famed
his cheek, the blood courSed like lightning
through his veins as he drank in deep
draughts Of pure, inVigOrating air. He stood
with his hand upon the lever, looking out
eagerly upon the parallel threads Of
glisteniug steel stretching out con-
tinuOusly in the food of light
thrown forward by the great reflector az
the head of the engine. The ground shook,
houses and trees few by like shadOwy
spectres, while the rafting train darted
over high embankments, deep cuts, across
streams-On and on. the hand of the en-
gineer never leaving for an instant its firm
hold upon the bit Of steel through which
this grand piece of machinery was kept
subservient to his will, and his eye never
quailingi or faltering in its steadfast look
along those glittering bars.
Suddenly dark looking object is seen
directly ahead and full upon the track.
The engine is reversed, quick as flash, the
bell cord ierled and the whistle sounds,
adOwn breaks" But it was too late. The
laundering, elanking train has swept a
dozen feet beyond the point where the
object was seen, and the cOw-catcher has
sent it from the track. The heart of the
engineer is in his mouth as his mind in
stantly takes in all the possibilities. Has he
taken the life of human being? is 1t a
man, woman, or child? and was the death
sudden, or will there be hours Of agony be
fore the spirit consents to leave its cruelty
mangled casket?
All these thoughts crowded upon his
anxious mind as he slowly backed his en-
cine to the spot where the object had been
seen. Then lanterns are procured, the
ground is thoroughly searched, and the
discovery is made that the engineer has
killed. fine black sheep.
