The soldiers "EOOt ON the Native
9lcnth.''

The following extract is from letter
written by returned soldier to the Burling-
ton Clipper in reply to recent speech by
Mr. Charles II Heath OF Montpelier, in
which he charged that the returned soldiers
were responsible for the ''increased' imem-
pcrance of the community.
Does Mr. Heath assume that the best class
of citizens went out in the army and came
back the worst? Ifnot, where is the change!
The soldiers themselves have never thought
thi, to have been the case Those who en-
listed voluntarily and rs a general thing be-
| hayed well afterwards, will be regarded as
| from among the better class, equally as
| good as those who remained at home, but It
| will not Ice forgotten that every trick was
resortcd To fill up the army, and twas moth
| ing unusual to present the Glowing bowl
| TO the candidate TO get him in proper CON
dition to sign his name. Jail birds were
let loose and bounty jumpers were brought
in to fill up the ranks, which would not
have been necessary if gentlemen of the eN-
allied notions of Mr. Heath, could have seen
their duty more clearly at the time.
For every soldier who cane back from
the army worse cilzen, ten came pacN
hotter than when they enlisted. There is

materially helped Mr. Heath, for those who
were boys and externally silly at the out
set came home sensible men. The de
moralization among those who remained at
home probably was somewhere in the vicin-
ity of equalling that in the field. 1t was
no uncommon thing for the soldier to cN-
claim upon his return, "who's been here
since I've been gone" and fail TO obtain m
answer.
Oh Mr.. Heath you do not know what
YOU have missed in not being n soldier, 1t
would have done you so much good; it
would have improved your powers of dis
erection and discrimination so much. Then
YOU could have met with the boys AZ the
Rutland Reunion last year and have enjoyed
Yourself You could have taken part in
the meeting of two thousand men, with ev-
cry restraint removed, and not have been

this Is true. and tho moro remarkable because

do not attompt to aolvo It. Their duty lies apart

Homo al refuge for tllo outcast, who, uudor

While unthinking persons drew tho conclusion
from tho universal testructono Of the great Chica-
go fro that it was useless to attempt tie erection
Of tire-proof buildings, there were those who
aaw therein tho urgent necessity for renewed
efforts in this direction. hr. Potter Palmer waa
ono OF the latter, and ho had the reward Of his
good judgment one evening this week when q
fire broke out in the upper-Rtory Of the
MapBard roof Of liB new hotel. The
porter had hoapcd aoie coal On q CRATE fire in a,
room which was aftorward locked. Either
sparks or 8 burning conf ignited the carpet, aud
tho fire communicated to the floor and the walls.
The occupant Of the room being absent. the
first intimation Of q fire was tho noise Of crack
ing wal1s; but eyen then fire waa not sus-
pected. It Is estimated that it was three
hours after tho fro caught before the
door was burst open. Yet It had made no head
why beyond burning tho carpet and woodwork,
and charring md cracking tho walls. This is
the result Of brick arches and iron girders, with
cemcnt for floors, and hollow brick aud hard
plaster for partitions. In this ono instance,
they may have saved ten timoa the difference in
their cost over the ordinary floors and partitions
throughout tho house.
