Jews Distinct,

The Je,Oish Messenger, says the Jews
will ever be distinct people, and holds
out no hope to the Protestant Society for
the conversion of that people
"In no single thing do We consider
ourselves apart from the citizens of other
creeds, except in our religious belief and
worship, but in this we have remained,
and we have Gods word for it that we
shall ever remain distinct and as far as
those who, for some worldly reason,
hold in allegiance some of the commands,
it is MAXIM Although he sins, he is
still JeM.' Let us hope that pur re-
mark may influences those WHO may i'm
agine they are absolved from the dis
charge of the duties commanded them !;
to give better tone to their feelings, to
act as Jews, to obey the will of their
Heavenly Father, to place their reliance
on Him, and to do good. Thus they
will be happy themselves, and confer
happiness on others.

A Deadly Spring.

A writer in a California newspaper
SAYS: About half mile over mountain
from Bartlett Springs there is what is
called the Gas Spring. This is probably
the greatest curiosity of the mountains.
The water is ice-cold, but bubbling
and foaming as if it boiled, and the
greatest wonder is theinevitable destruc-
ton of life produced by inhaling the gas.
No living thing is to be found within a
circuit of one hundred yards of the
spring. The very birds, if they happen
to fly over it, drop dead.
We experimental with a-lizard on its
destructive properties by holding it a
few feet above the water.
1t stretched dead in two minutes. 1t
will kill a human being in twenty min
utes. We estood over it about fiveminutes,
when dull, heavy, aching sensation
crept over us, and our eyes began to
swim. The gas which escapes here is OF
the rankest kind of carbonic, hence its
sure destruction of life; also of quencl-
ing of flames instantaneousiy.

Seas0nable Fashion Gossip.

The ladies have all got the neuralgia in
their shoulders from wearing spring
clothes, and many new dresses are sup
plemented across the back by porous
plasters, and next to vest front mus
tard poultice is generally most worn.
Young ladies alternate between neck
lace for street wear and a flannel rag for
the house. Diamonds are worn in the
ears with much effect abroad, but lock
of cotton and a little roast onion is the
usual adornment at home. Pearl powder
is applied to the shoulders for full dress,
but camphoratod oil and hartshorn lini-
ment are considered very pretty also by
the sufferers. Silk stockings, with col
ored cluekirss, are the things for low.

FOREST FIRES.


Immense Destruction of Property In New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The recent rains have extinguished the
great fires, which, for week or fort
night, ragged in sections of New York,
Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. 1t is
difficult to fix the limits of the fires.
They have swept through portions of
Pike, Wayne, Carbon, Monroe, Luzerne
and Lancaster counties, in Pennsylvania,
and Sullivan, Delaware and Orange
counties in New York, and through a
wide tract of pine woods along Egg
Harbor river, in New Jersey. A cores
pondent writing from Lackawaxen, Penn
sylvania, estimates the area burned over
in that State at one hundred square miles
OF forest land. Neither in New York
nor in New Jersey has the area been so
large or the losses SO great. Nine-tenths
of the buildings of the fourishing village
of Osceola were destroyed, and the in
habitants reduced to the point of starva-
ton. The churches, schooEhouses, no.
tells and stores and mills were all de-
stroyed, and but few dwelling houses
were spared. One saw-mill ON Mosan-
non creek, with 1000, 900 feet of lumber,
was burned. Another, tue Tyre Mill,
the finest on the continent, was burned,
with $1,000, 900 feet of lumber. Many
more having on hand million feet of
lumber were burned. Several tanneries,
with thousands of cords of bark,
and vast stores of leather in process, were
destroyed. We read of tracts Of timber
land of 1,500 and 1000 acres being
burned. Farm-houses, barns, fences,
even the stock perished in the flames
which men could not check in their roar
ing and devouring headway. In the wild
regions of Pike and Monroe counties,
famous resorts for hunters and fisher
men, the forest game was driven from the
woods. Game deer were noticed feeding
in the fields with cattle, fearing man less
than the fierce element that had de-
stroyed their native harlnts. Bears came
out of their lairs, and wild pigeons took
flight in myriads for some safer place
further north.
1t is impossible to estimate the damage
done. 1t will foot up in the millions, not
counting the loss of timber, which has
been immense. 1t will necessarily take
some time to gather up the particulars in
so extensive and mountainous a region,
but instances of single losses, amounting
to $50, 900, 100000, and upward, indi,
cate tremendous aggregate when the
reports are all in. In other sections oI
the Northeastern States there have been
extensive forest fires, but none on SC
large scale as those in Pennsylvania
and New. York. In New Jersey there
has been a good deal of pine forest de
stroyed, but the villages and farms have
generally escaped, and the damage is moi
excessive. There have, however, beer
no such forest fires since the fall in which
Chicago was burned, and the woode1
village of Peshtigo, in Wisconsin, wipet
out, with many of its inhabitants.

[sioux City Telegram to Chicago Times.l
Capt. Walker, after releasing Gordon's
train, which he recently captured in
Nebraska, sent to Gen. Crooks depart
ment for assistance i'll forcing the Cor
don party across the river into the Indian
territory. Two companies of cavalry
and Gatling gun were furnished from
Spotted Tails agency, and early on the
morning of Friday, the Dist ult., sur
rounded the camp at Gordon City, Neb.,
and perpetrated the most brutal outrage
on peaceable citizens of which we have
any record. The soldiers compelled
men who were making preparations
for breakfast to leave the camp, then
helped themselves to everything they
could lay their hands on in the camp, in
Guiding pocketbooks and other valuables
which were left in the tents, even the
boots, shoes and clothing, which the men
were not allowed time to put on. The
soldiers sat down and ate the breakfast
the men had prepared for themselves,
after which they built fire and piled on
it nearly all the provisions and wagons,
thirty-nine of the latest pattern Win,
chester rifles, and other arms belonging
to the party. In fact everything was
destroyed, except small amount Of
baggage aud rations enough to take
them into Fort Randall. After
this work of destruction and robbery;
the military started with the Gordon
party for Fort Randall. They compelled
the party to walk, many af whom hat
