THE FAIRFIELD FIRE.-Our correspondent
"Seth' gives the following particulars of the
fire at Fairfield, Thursday afternoon: "The
steam mil and fur rnture shop burned yester-
day was owned by Messrs. Newhall, Gibson,
Fegg & Co. The fire originated in tha fire
room. The wind blowing hard all efforts to
save the building were unavailing. Had the
wind been in another quarter our village would
have suffered greatly. The distance from the
mill to the dwelling houses which took fire was
from 80 to 60 rods. At one time seven build
ings were on fire, but through the labors of
our citizens and the members of Dirigo engine
company from Watervlle, no serious damage
was done.
Great fears were felt for the freight buildings
and cars were loade with freight and run up
above the village out of danger. The Fairfield
Furniture Co., lose $50, 200, they having large
stock of furniture on hand, among which
was several car loads ready for shipment. E.
Tolman & Co. lose $25OO on elapboards and
lumber stored in the mill for planning. A. Fl. &
G. II, Duren and others of our mill men are
among the losers, SO that the total loss cannot
fall much short of $35, 1000, on which there was
no insurance. The people of Waterville with
two engines and companies came promptly to
our relief and rendered great assistance.

JAPANESE journalism has not attracted
marked attention in Western lands as yet;
but Judging by certain extracts from Japan
ese papers which appear in the Worcester
Spy, American editors would find it benef-
cial to add to their oriental exchange lists.
The Japanese journalist is master of grave
and polished sarcasm which is in refreshing
contrast with the vituperation of his western
contemporary. As illustration of this the
spy quotes from the Choya Shimbun. The
heather paper, referring to the condemnation
bv foreigners of the japanese practice Of co n
cubinage, says:
sDo they think our customs bad? While in
their own countries they say so. But how is it
here? All foreign missionaries are trying en-
ergetically to induce our people to adopt their
religion, and it seems as if all their endeavor
was to turn their eyes from the doings of their
own countrymen. This is passing strange!
What is the reason that these men violate the
doctrines of their own. faith? This also has
led to much neglect of young children, which
is very curious and shows q strange want OF
natural sympathy. There is not one of thei1
custums they do not try to inculcate to our peo-
ple In one particular, bewever, they observe
| our custom, and this is the most obscure thing
under the sun.
''The European system Of morals inculcates
the union of the man with but one wife and
their equality of rank. We should suppose
from this that foreigners would vlrtuously OBJ
serve this system. But we find that it is moi
only in Japan that virtue is rare, and had We
not seen foreigners in their own homes (coun
tries) we never could have believed that they
| acknowledged any such moral obligations. Bu
| having seen this we can infer that many Of
them but lightly regard the dictates of theil
| own laws.
The Europeans and Americans are enligh-
| ened people and do not without reason call US
| semi-civlize1. But what is the meaning Of
civilization? 1t surely is not limited to th
possession of fine houses, fine dresses, and tt
| sumptuous living 1t is not confined to
| flourishing state of the arts, of manufacture
| or machinery. 1t means an advance IN knowl
edge and poll tics, reverence for religion, thu
proper estim alton of good character and th'
| observance of good customs"

Current Notes.

The Nation thus damns the New York
legislature with faint praise: "On the whole
the session has been marked by comparative
ly little predatory legislation"
"It is all right, of course, to invite Glad.
stone to participate in the Lexington centen-
NAL festivities, but then it is very much as if
big Injun were TO ask you into his wigwam
to look at the scalp.lock of your grandfather"
This is the view which Western newspaper
takes of it.
The Democratic papers parade what they
call the opinions of two Republican law
yers" in defense of the New Hampshire out
rage. The Concord. Independent Statesman
answers that they are "the purchased opin-
ions" not of Republican lawyers, but of ex-
Judges "who deserted the Republican party
when it no longer fed them with pap"

importer and trader. Let the merchant who

PEOPLE are curious to know how long il
will be before the encroaching white settler
will apply the doctrine of manifest destiny to
the Indian territory. just now we want to
get at the gold in the Black Hills, and so are
willing to promise anything to get the Sioux
to leave. Ten years hence we may desire the
farming lands of the Indian territory and then
the aborigines will have to betake themselves
to nowhere. The chiefs at Washington seem
rather pleased however at the prospect of
moving, and expressed their satisfaction with
the proposition by saying "ugh' a great

THAT cannon business is not settled after
all. The chief of the government ordnance
bureau has had his attention attracted by the
internal din of war in New Jersey, has looked
up the history of the gun, and is inclined to
think it is revolutionary relic, and so the
property of the government. If Princeton
should refuse to surrender the cannon OF con-

THE popular idea that the inhabitants of
mountains are physically and mentally supe-
rior to their fellows of the plain, is not sup
ported by the latest researches. The mechan
ism of the body is not adapted to the di-
mnished outward atmospheric pressure of
high regions. Statistical tables show dimin-
ution of physical and intellectual activity
among the Alpine populations and on the
Mexican table lands. The degeneracy of the
Peruvian race and the decline of the Thbetan
population are also attributed to the debilita-
ting action of rarefied air.

IT seems that the orators, poets, and mar

had more than her share of the honors.
