[From the London Spectator Of Aug. 81
Cim0urdain in the French Assembly.

IF an elderly and respected member OF the
House of Commons were to rise in his place,
and ask whether another member had said
that Mr.. Gladstone's ministry had ''fallen be-
meath the contempt and horror OF all honest
men;'' if, in the absence OF the gentleman
thus questioned, another were to reply that
he took the responsibility of the words upon
himself; if the first speaker were then to call
the second liar; if, amid indescribabe con-
fusion, the member originally addressed were
to enter the House, and to say that he repeat
ed the accusation; if the elderly and respect
able nquisitor were then to call him a liar,
also, and the Speaker to leave the chair in a
fright, we should all fear that there was a
screw loose in the British Constitution, and
that some of the wheels might come off. Yet
that is exactly what happened in the National
Assembly of France a week ago, without do
ing any particular harm to anything or any
body. And the heroes of the row are all
personages so strange that they merit little
more attention than they have received amid
the fierce clamor raised by the public worship
bill. M. Schoecher, who shivered the Assem-
bly, into splinters by his profuse employment
of the word "lar,' is about seventy years
cid, and he is one OF the most highly respect
ed men in France. When a young man he
visited the United States, Mexico and Cuba,
and he then saw the shame which was cast
on his country by the existence of slavery in
its colonies. Filled with burning hatred of
the iniquity, he resolved to devote his life to
the extirpation of it from the institutions of
France. Being an enthusiast of that steady,
intense, and we might almost say cold, type
of tanaticism which gave an iron force TO the
Puritans, he never lost sight of that one OBJ
ject amid all the distractions of political
strife. He made journeys TO the French colo
nies, to Africa and all the abodes of slavery.
He tried to quicken the moral sense Of his
countrymen to perception of its enormous
wickedness by writing one iervid book after
another. A rich man as well as zealot, he
gave freely, generously, lavishly, for the sake
| of the good cause. He is said to have spent
| half his fortune in helping the black people ol
| the French settlements. And at last he had
| his reward. The revolution of 1S4S placed
men of generous ideals in positions OF power,
| and M, Schelcher became under secretary ol
state at the Ministry of Marine. The very
| next day after he was appointed, he drew up
| an official declaration against slavery, and a
commission was instantly appointed to sci
the negroes free. M. SchGlcher himself wa:
tbe president of the commission, and tbt
work of emancipation was speedily done
Thus was the dream of his life fulfilled, an,

Two Fires-Heed the Warning.-In
arguing the question as to the purchase of two
steamers recently, We gave as a strong reason
why two should be purchased, that not unfre-
quently two fires occurred at one and the same
time, and that in such an event one steamer
would be utterly inadequate to the service re-
quired. A case in point. In Chicago, on Tues
day morning last, fire broke out in the Union
Central Depot, occasioning a loss of several
hundred thousand dollars. While that fire
was in progress, 8. ,ther fire broke out in
stone block on State street, and twenty minu-
utes elapsed before a steamer arrived at the
scene Of the second fire, which, meanwhile, had
gained such headway that five buildings were
destroyed, and another loss of several hundred
thousand dollars entaiied. Chicago has large
force of steamers, yet delay in sending them to
the second fire occurred. What would be the
result if two fires were 90 occur hers at the
same time? We dread to think of IT, Coun-
ell should dread to contemplate it; and they
who have demonstrated should dread
the realization OF it, if through their influence
Council should decide not TO purchase. But
Council itseli must bear the responsibility, for
upon it rests the decision The members know
that two steamers at least are necessary for
safety; they know that the general sentiment
favors the purchase, and If they permit them
selves to be turned from righteous purpose
by fear of certain parties, they must bear the
consequences should unnecessary loss occur.
Stick to your first resolution. The great mis-
take of the government during the rebellion
was in not calling for enough men at first to
crush it. The great mistake of our city may
be in not providing sufficient means to secure
protection. See TO it that you make not that

It is Not Generally KNOWN

That the shortest possible route between the Eas
and Great West is through st. Louis, over the s
Louis, Kansas City and Northern Short Line
This road has gained surprising Importance BY
reason Of immense expenditures in the last two
years, Of over two million dollars besides earnings
in improvements of roadway in relaying theiI
line with best quality of new steel and iron rails
on broad ties and by substituting for ordinary
cars reclining chair coaches, elegantly carpeted
and fitted, with dressing rooms with toilet conyen-
fences for ladies' gentlemen and families travelling
with children, I7itout any extra charge. This line
runs six fast Express trains between the Missis-
sippi and the Missouri Rivers, two more than any
other road, and connects with all the great Land
Grant Roads in the West, and has adopted all mod
ern appliances for comfort, speed and safeguards
against accidents, including night and day watch
men, who inspect the road before and after the
passage of each train to see that everything is in
order. We recommend those contemplating q trip
West to take the St. Louis, Kansas City and North
ern Short Line, it being the only line running
through cars between st. Louis and Omaha, and
for tickets over this excellent line refer our
readers to any ticket agent selling through tickets
to the West. For map, circulars and time tables
address either Geo. D. Teller, Buffalo, n. Y; or
P. B. Groat, St Louis, Mo-, either of whom will
furish any information desired.

Fire-Narrow Escape.-Between one
and two oeOck, on Friday morning of last
week, an alarm of fire was sounded, and the
steamer was hurriedly gotten out, but fortu-
nately the fire. was subdued by the free use Of
water in pals, so that her services were not
called into requisiton The fire was evident
ly the work OF an incendiary, as it was built
in ths second story of Gephart & Kesslers
Carriage Shop, where there had been no IRE
since four o'clock in the afternoon Of the day
previous, and right under the trap door
leading to the loft. The fire had made con-
siderable headway when discovered, space
of about six feet square having been burned in
the floor, and the wood work of sliding seat
buggy, belonging to Auditor Gurst entirely
destroyed. The trap door above the fire was
also considerably burned. Mr.. Gurst's loss
viii be about 500 and the loss of Gephart s.
Kessler several hundred, the latter fully COW
cred by insurance. It was very fortunate that
the FIRE was put out so sOou, as the locality
was one where fire would be apt TO spread
with such rapidity, when farsly under head
way as to occasion serious loss.
