PARAGRAPHICAB.


The natives of Philadelphia are emf
nently a peaceful, law-abiding people, but
when that artist who executes cuts for
the Philaddphid Mt dye settles among
them and inficts his bloOd-curdlirg atroci-
ties upon them, they should rise up as one
man and brain him at once. A solemn
duty they owe generations yet unborn. rc=
qaires this at their Eafds.
The PittSbWg Post viciously remarks:
"The third Of a column article in yester-
days Leader, headed sThe Folly Of Writ
ing Love Letters" was taken bodily from
the Missouri BrURSlricker, and without a
word Of credit. Thus does the Leader ap-
propriate the local as well as the telegraph
news of its exchanges"
An exchange has this to say of a lady
lecturer: STrue, there is little of the prac-
teal in the lecture, but there is so much
soul and such a wealth of imagination.
such deep drawn fountains Of sentiment
and such hslos of metamoFphieal radiance;
so much that is wonanly and true to her
self and her sex; such abnegation of
wOman's superiority to man in her domain,
that We can well forego the strength of the
strong-minded for the sake of the delicacy
with which she endOws her ideal woman"
A bit of lucid explanation like the above
is worth four or five dollars and a half to
anyone.
The usually placid McCord, of the
Pulaski Citizen, must have been exaspe-
rated beyond all forbearance before he
wrote this paragraph: "a town COW is a
great moral humbug. She lies out one
night, the next night her milk has to be
thrown away, you keep her up the next
day and she don't give any milk the next
night, the next night the cook ''forgits ter
milk" and so on, and all this time she is
eating an amOun of hay, meal, etc, that
costs enough money 10 buy milk for a
hotel"
There is a world Of pathos in the follow
ing clipping from the AHdntic Monthly;
"When a friend dies and is buried, there's
an end of him. We miss him for a space
out of our daily existence; we mourn for
him by degrees that become m~ercifully less:
we cling TO the blessed hope that we shall
be reunited in some more perfect sphere;
but so far as this earth is concerned, there's
an end Of him. However near and dear he
was, the time arrives when he does not
form a part of our daily thought. We 90

LINCOLN AND SEWARD: By Gideon
Welles.-This book contains some 200
pages. and is a review of the Memorial
Address" of Charles Francis Adams upon
the life, character and services of VIM. H.
Seward. II is drawn forth from a Cabinet
associate Of Mr.. Seward. by the eulOgieS of
Mr.. ). at the expense of Mr.. Lincoln. Mr..
WelleS' object seems to be to correct the
representations Of Mr.. Adams to the gen.
eral effect that Mr.. Lincoln was an inferior
character in his own administration, and
that Mr.. Seward was not only the Premier
in the Cabinet, but the dc fdctO President
during the residence of Mr.. Lincoln in the
White House. In this essay the eX-Secre-
taTy of the Navy las given some very excel
lent reading, and placed on ecOrdm many facts
onhis Ownpersonal knowledge, whichwould
probably not otherwise have been cast into
the history of the exciting times of which
he writes. Having been a part of that Adj
ministTatiOn, and familiar with all its de-
alterations on the exciting events which it
encountered, and being past the period of
life when personal ambition would likely
warp his statement of facts, Mr.. Wells
speaks with a potency which will be adj
midted on al hands. He writes also with
a vigOr and dignity not unworthy the sub
ject or himself. The book is published by
Sheldon * Co, New York, and for sale in

About ten o'clock yesterday morning the
roof of the ST. Charles hotel was disceveTrd
to be on fire. all four OF the fire engines
were prompt in answering the alarm and
the flames were e~xtinguished in about half
an hour. No damage was done the furni-
ture beyond three or four carpets being in
jured by water, but the roof of the rear
portion Of the building was destroyed, the
damage to the building amounting to
probably 500. There was no insurance
on either furniture or building, the latter
being owned by Mr.. Z. B. EllistOn.
The fire caught from a stove pipe which
passed u through a window and was car
ried along outside Of the house to the roof.
The flames had evidently been under way
for at least an hour, when discovered, as
there had been no fire in the stove for that
length Of time.
The damage viii be repaired immedi-
ately. and the regular business Of the hotel
will be carried on without interruption.
During the excitement the four horses Of
the Hamilton engine dashed down into the
crowd, dragging the tongue Of the engine
with them. They had been frightened by
the bursting Of a hose near them. The
driver, Mr.. ANDY NeWland, chung to the
bride of one Of the wheelers, and with a
little assistance succeeded in stopping the
team.
