The Providence Journal says: "Mr.
Carl Schurz. in his speech at the dinner
given in his honor in New York. gave the
reason why, when he went out OF the Re-
publican party into independently. he did
not 90 quite over into the Democratic par
ty. Condensing his excellent rhetoric in
the plainest language, it was because he
thought then, that the party could not be
trusted. He seems TO think so now. His
attitude, and that which he recommends
all "independent" men to hold, is one of
armed neutrality. They are to stand as a
compact mass between the two parties,
aiding one or the other as is deemed ad-
visable. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that this is political impracticability.
The country is too vast; the connection
between State and national politics to close
and important; the want of organization
would be an insuperable hindrance. In
this country there are, as there always
have been, and always will be, two great
parties. If a third party rises up, it be-
comes, If it processes living principles,
embodied in one or the other of these.
The utter impotence OF the third party
movement in 1872, evidences the futility
of such an experiment in the majority of
cases the rise Of the Republican party
from the ashes of the old Wing party and
the embers of the abolition party, shows
how vital ideas are consolidated in the Or
ganization of one ofthe prominent parties.
Mr.. Schurz is a very able man, but he can
not change the inevitable and natural drift
Of events"

Old Orchard Beach, July % The loss by the
burning Of the Old Orchard House is greater than

that Of Paul Brooks and family of New York.
ing and jewelry. The occupants of the lower
stories saved most of their effects. The Ocean
House and other houses are well sprinkled with
the sufferers, though many left for their homes on
to-day's trains.
Mr.. Staples is somewhat discouraged at his
heavy loss and has formed no definite plan as yet
for rebuilding, but he viii undoubtedly do so, as
great pressure will be made to this end on the
part of his many patrons, who have already drawn
up paper pledging him their support and patron
age. The theory Of many is that the fire origi-
mated from kerosene lamp, but the most attrib-
ute it to incendarism.
1t was only last Tuesday that the owners of the
hotel lost their bathing houses by an inceneiary
fire. The fact that the FIRE originated in the attic,
and so early in the evening, accounts for the for
tunate escape from loss Of life, since the house
contained over two hundred guests. Among
portion Of the buildings now standing is the orig

mean time cut my hay, all that he woul ask me
being his board, it would be such nice fun to 20
out haying, "he always liked the smell of new
mown hay"
On Monday morning the 18th inst. he took his
wife and started, Il live two miles out,) he had
been gone about two hours when he came back,
said he had had bad luck had broken rake and
scythe! told him to 60 to Williamson &
Greenwood's and &c. another outfit; which he did
and went back to the hay field he had worked but
few moments when the scythe caught (as he
said ga devilish root. which carried away the
point and changed the shape Of it materially; but
still he worked on, every few moments straighten-
ing the scythe over his head; after he had got
down quite piece 15xl0O ft.) and had got his
hands CREASED and cream under both arms, he
thought he would take care Of what grass he had
down; but bad luck followed him and rake No. 2
went to pieces. When got home at night he advis-
ed me to 60 and buy moving machine and other
implements fit to do work with. After tea sug-

would milk one COW. Shortly after l went into

step down and out. l thought it might be for my
interest to milk and so did so, it is needless to
