PRAIRIE FMS The New York Hor'o
suggests as a plan whereby to save village
prairies from the fires which go often sweep
the plains and do so much damage. the con-
s,ruction Of a canal, to be supplied with wa
ter, around each village. This it thinks would
arrest the fire and save the village. Very
plausible suggestion, with its drawbacks,
no wever. The Inconvenience caused BY
such canal would be considerable; and il
the water 10 it were stagnant it would be
Injurious to health. :.
We imagine that no prairie village VIII

ton large enough to build canals would De

not practicable it would be easy to burn
enough prairie on calm day to keep OF The
fire in season when the dry9gras would
spread them.
A prairie village that burns in these days
from the fires lighted by the dried grass
would meet its fate no doubt from apathy
and the failure to tortify itself by very SIM

listened to the tales Of the vulgar kadicai

very OBJECTIONABLE persons without judg-

been ever misled. He was harsh Whe he
was expected to be kind; he was rude
when it was hoped he would be CIVIL;
ne kept in operation measures for southern
oppression when It was hoped ne would
abandon them; he delegated to WILLIAMS
who was rejected with scorn by the Onlteo
