JAIL FIRED By PRIsONERs.-MO
ROE, Mich, March 3.-The murderer
Rael'e, who was at the last term of the
Circuit Court convicted of the murder
of one Peter Eisenhart and sentenced
to the Penitentiary for twelve years,
attempted to burn the Jail last night
and made several attempt to commit
suicide. The sheriff was awakened by
disturbance In the prisoners quarters
about | o'clock this morning, and,
fearing a Jail delivery, FASTENED to the
spot, where he found the corridors full
of smoke and the murderers cell in
flames, the prisoner himself lying al
most insensible upon the floor, with
several long gashes cut on his neck and
throat. An apparatus had also been
improvlsed with an old towel, some
wire: and the planks overhead, to hang
himself. These giving way. the fall OF
the body had aroused the officers. The
remaining prisoners were stupefed
with the smoke, and were with diff
Guilty aroused. The flames were extin-
guished without much damage, and the
prisoner safely ironed. Twenty min
utes' longer delay would have rendered
it impossible to save either the prison
or any Of its inmates Especial Dis

The Habit Of Saving Things in Eu-
rope.

Now, many of these things are ad-
mirable, but nothing has impressed me
more than the universal habit of saw
ing. We waste more in America In
one of our middle class families than
would keep two of the same rank in
London or Paris. Economy is COM
pulsory virtue, Nothing is allowed to
be lost, from the smallest scrap of
paper to the refuse of the streets. In
Paris | saw the chifonier, with his
bag and his lantern, at midnight, rak-
ing the gutter for pieces of muslin or
woolen to carry home and clean and
sell
We are most fortunate in the great
institution of sending packages from
one end to the other Of our great EN-
pire. There is no such thing as an
adams Express" in Europe 1t
costs much more and takes much long
er to send parcel in England or
France than it does in the United
States. It took two days to get
trunk from Liverpool TO London. and
cannot get my Centennial documents
from the latter to Paris without ex-
pense and trouble.
Here comes in the best of all argu-
ments in favor of real American free
trade with other nations. Over our
expanse of territory, a region great
er than that covered by the Roman
eagles, you can travel without change
OF cars, or can forward any box or
package, however large, at low price,
without damage Or investigation, while
in free trade Europe your trunk must
be of a certain weight if you would
get it through on your ticket, and you
must always be ready for the Custom
House officer You can not check
your baggage, you must wait for it,
and that incalculable American advant-
age OF sending your great trunks ahead
OF yon to meet you at your own house,
or to follow you rapidly, is looked for
In vain by travellers in Europe Of
course these faults are incidental to
people divided into several countries.
and most Of the time in doubtful rea-
tons, and generally watched over by
vast armies: but they prove the differ
ence between the practical free trade
of one great united Republic, afflicted
by none of these evils, and the practi-
cal protection. of nations constantly
preaching theoretical free trade
ogland and France are for the
spring and summer and autumn, but
America is the country for all seasons.
How often, In the fatal fogs with their
painted fires and dangerous draughts,
have longed for our bright skies,
elastic atmosphere and comfortable
homes. Even our hot summers in the
South are set off by the cool retreats Of
the North, and there are no resorts in
the world SO delightful in winter as
Florida or New Orleans. And so we
live to learn Colonel Formers Cor

will take place at the next session OF
Congress when the Southern Dem,-
Gratis, the maj jority of whom were in

the pretenses Of the Reformers, the
shallowness of their promises, and their
failure to correct, or even try to COR
rect, any abuses, and, as they are the
first to have Che opportunity, they
have improved it by electing Republi-
