GREAT BRITAIN AND FUGITIVE SLAVES

l<ONbON, AutsudyJ harcn Z, 1879.
In the House of Lords this evening Viscount
Cardwell presented petition, signed by the Protestant
Dissenting Ministers Of London, praying for the ime-
date and unconditional withdrawal of the Fugitive
Slave Circular In taking this step, Lord Cardwell
pointed to the efforts II civilized nations including the
United States, to abolish slavery.
Lord Cairns, in reply, explained that the
object Of the circular TO inform eomrnan-
des Of Her Majesty's vessels that Il would
not suffice TO take slaves on board they put them
in a place Of safety. But inasmuch as a British
vessel entering foreign waters bound TO
violate aDet violation OF the laws OF
a foreign State, the English Government pre-
erred refusing TO receive slaves board surrender
ing them after they received. Lord Cairns called
mind what the present Government had done toward
suppressing the slave trade in Zanzibar and the Colo
Coast, and thanked God this not "A party question.
Any Government would have done the The crcu-
lar could not be Withdrawn without leaving strn-
gent regulations in force. But not small or unim-
pgrtant step was about TO be taken toward the tms
when 10 might be the destiny Of England 10 cOnsumat
as had been her privilege 10 commence the overthrow
Of that nefarious system which was the sgrace and
curse OF humanity.

F1RE-INCIDFNTs,

CONTRADICTORY THEORIES OF THE ORIGIN OF THE
F1RE-INCIDENTs.
The exact place where the fire originated
has not been ascertaned. The general opinion among
OF the insurance and OF two Of the Sisters
was that of the inmates In bedroom the ground
floor was smoking pipe, and hid 1t under his pillow on
hearing the approach of Sister One Of the Sisters said she
had before retiring made her usual round Of the house,
and inspected the furnaces where there less fire
than usual she found Everything night Another Sister
thought that the police somewhat negligent In the
neighborhood When the alarm first given she went
TO the Police Station 10 minutes walk distant and there
the alarm was given Capt Dunn said that the beat OF
the policeman covered two square miles, and If the OIL
Ger end OF his beat he could not hear cries at
the other The fire had already destroyed great por-
ton Of the building before the flames shot above tie
house and could be at a distance.
Assistant Engineer Smith said he reached the Home
soon after the alarm given. The male department
was then fire. and several persons on the roof
Hearing that there several persons confined in the
building he sent out second alarm. The engines were
working possible though some time was lost
owing TO the bydrante being far apart In half an hour
the flames we're under control The remen then looked
after the people reported missing and In few min
brought out the bodies OF two men from the bed
room on the second floor, but they were so
burned ns to be beyond recognition Three more bodies
were found n the cellar beneath the flooring and debris
On the second floor were found two bodies par
italy dressed, II the men had been t9ing to escape
when they were oyerpowered by the smoke and heat
ON top floor nine bodies found burned almost
TO a crisp and beyond recognition. There were Is beds
in this room and Mr.. Smith wondered bow any Of the
occupants escaped every Of must have
been cut of few after the breaking out Of the
fire.
The old stabekceper slept in the garrett but escaped
by climbing on the roof and descending To the female
department. An old German, Johann Schneider, ~
years old when after his escape yesterday sat mo
tioncss staring tho wall OF the 10 which he had
taken and il only after repeated questioning
that he seemed 20 become conscious He said be was
lying awake when he heard a noise and saw a light
Thinking get mp, he dressed and walked toward
the door, when he sneilcd the smoke and became
alarmed lie tried to go the roof found the stair
way door closed. Finally the Sisters came IN and res
cued him. John GarraLan, another old man, was also
awake az the time and had Just time throw
clothing when he led out by the Sisters just before
the flames broke into the room.

THE KILLED AND MISSING.

IL difficult matter TO obtain a correct list or
those who lost their lives as the faces were dis
figured beyond recognition, with the exception Of
Michael Cummins, who leaped from the window be-
fore the flames had scorched his features. Conrad
Lauderman, German, was recognized 10y his grand
son, but il was only by scrutiny Of the register
and list of those who were known to have been
saved and carried to tie neighboring houses 10 st.

OLD JOE LANE.
The Man Who Ran for Vice
President With Brecken-
ridge-He Becomes Il
Hermit-His Singu-
lar Life.

The most notable object of inter
est in Oregon is old Gen. Joe Jane.
No man ever received such an ova-
tion for services in the field as Joe
Lane when he returned from Mexico
at the close of the war, and gave the
State chance to carry him on its
shoulders for his gallantry at Buena
Vista. He went West in 1856, was
appointed provisional governor of
Oregon by Fillmore, then was in the
Senate, and had Just finished his
term when he was nominated for
Vice President on the ticket with
breckenridge. After that defeat
the hot political places that knew
him once knew him no more for
ever. He bought a farm back of
Roseburgh, running up from the
Valley of the Willamette, and built
him a small frame house high on a
picturesque spur of the Rogue River
Mountains, where he has lived ever
since in perfect seclusion. Two
years ago he lost his wife, whom he
always called ''the Madame" and
loved devotedly. Since then his
desolation has been relieved only by
a negro boy, who cooks and keeps
house for him. He is eighty-three
now, straight as an arrow, six feet
two inches in height, and he can
pick up his rifle and bring home a
deer or follow down a trout stream
over the rocks about as well as the
next man. And then he reads a
great deal. One room in his cabin
is sacred to his books, and his Ii
brary is one of the most valuable
on the Pacific slope. Only once
lately they got him worked up to
the point of coming down from his
garret in the clouds and making a
speech. It was on the 4th Of June
at Roseburgh. There were at least
5000 present, and when the old
hero began the auditors stretched
their necks as if some revelation
was coming, and every word was to
be precious. Only a few could hear
him, for his voice has drifted into
the childish treble, but curiosity
kept them spell bound till he closed.
He reminded one, with his majestic
presence and flowing white hair and
beard, of some John the Baptist in
the wilderness crying unto the peo-
Pile, "Repentr' The old man has
one wish left-to vote for Tilden
and Hendricks. If the ticket wins
he wants to depart in peace, like
Simeon, for he will have lived to see
the country's salvation.

UnspOken Words.


The kindly words that rise within the heart,
And thrill it with their sympathetic tone,
But die ere spOken-fail to play their part,
And claim merit that Is not their own.
The kindly word, unspoken, Is a Fin-
a sin that wraps itsolfin purest guise.
And tells the heart that, doubling, looks
within,
That not in speech, but thought, the vir-
tue lies.
But tits not so-another heart may thirst
For that kind word-as Hagar in the wild
Poor 6anished Hagar-prayed well might
burst
From out the sand to save her parching
child.
And loving eyes, that cannot see tie mind,
Will watch tn expected movement of the
lip.
All can ye let its cutting silence wind
Around that heart, and seattle 1t like d
whip!
UnsPoken words, like treasures in the mind,
Are valueless until we give trem birth
Like Unfound gold their hidden beauties
shine,
Which God has made to bless and gid the
earth.
How sad 'twould be to ses a masters hand
Strike glorious notes upon vOIceless Lutte;
But, oh what pans when at Gods own
command
A heart string thrills with kindness-but
Is mute.
Then hide it not, the music of the soul,
Dear sympathy expressed with kindly
Toice;
But let it, like a shining river, roll
To deserts dry to hearts that would rejoice.
OH let the symphony ofgentlo words
Sound for the poor, the friendless, and the
weak,
And he will bless you-He who struck these
chords
Win strike another when, in turn, you
seek.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1876-09-07
A EuIogy of Presbyterians.

Mr.. Gladstone, having viewed
other forms of church government
critically, and published his views
upon them, has recently applied the
same scrutiny to Presbyterianism,
and gives the following as his con
clusion. The members of that large
body in this country will heartily
agree with this utterance of the Bri-
tish Statesman:
1T has given Presbyterian COM
munions the advantages which in
civil order belong TO local self-gov-
ernment and representative institu-
tions-orderly habits of mind, re-
spect for adversaries, and some OF
the elements of judicial temper; the
development of a genuine individu-
ality, together with the discourage
ment of mere arbitrary will and OF
all excentric tendency; the sense oi
a common life, the disposition ener
getically to defend it; the love O
law combined with love Of freedom
last, not least, the habit of using
the faculty of speech with a direc
and immediate view to persuasion.
