IT Is the unanimous opinion OF the

made q mistake in not picking out n
Southern Democrat for the Supreme
Court vacancy. General Harlan is u
good man. say tho editors. but he is not
in the right party. They think tho
President has violated his own "reeon-

An ocean sienmshlp ON fire.

AT 2:l5 a M, on Monday last, while the
Pacific mail ship Granada, from Panama,
was beating agains. a heavy wind and
running sea, about forty miles of Point
Conception, some Chinese sailors, who
were asleep in their hammocks over the
forward hatch, we're awakened by smoke.
At the same time the watch on deck dis.
covered dense smoke issuing from the
hatch. An agile Mongol ran abaft and
informed first officer Hart that the ship
was on fire. simultaneously the boat
swain, also q Mongol, violently rang the
FIRE bell. First officer Hart is afraid Of
fire. He has been burned out several
times, and was on the Japan when that
steamer was burned off the Chinese
coast two years ago. He has for years
made it his habit to have the hose placed
on the deck every night at s o'clock
Rushing forward be found that the ship
was indeed on fire. The capt lin was in.
stantly notified. and Hart, selling an
adze, chopped a hole in the hatch, and
called for a small sized volunteer. A
C%hiuamau, stark naked, sprang forward,
and Hart ordered him to take the hose
and 90 below to %extinguish the fire. The
almond-eyed tar bound a wet towel over
his face and obeyed with alacrity, and
Hart, who is a large man, enlarged the
aperture and followed. Seven China
men went down after him like monkeys,
and the pumps we're manned. The en-
CINE was stopped, and oeasing its task of
driving wheels, commenced forcing wa
ter. By this time the passengers, alarmed
by the unwonted tumult and the clang
ing fire bell, were huddled, half naked,
on the deck in q panic. The women
shrieked and the sterner sex telt decid'
eddy shaky.
The exploring squad below decks
CROPPED their way through the suffocating
smoke to the storeroom in the forehold.
where they found the fire. The pumps
were already working, and in three and
a half minutes after the alarm water was
playing on the flames, and in three and
a half minutes more the blaze was extin.
guished. The origin of the fra was GER
tainly very curious. Ia the storeroom
was a barrel Of matches in paper boxes
Rats are remarkably fond Of phosphorus.
This outre taste caused the fire. 1t was
found that rats had gnawed their way
through the walls of the storeroom and
into the matches, and in their nibblings
at the lucifers the attrition Of their teeth
ignited them and cauped the blaze. In
surance men state that the majority o.
the instances of fire by "spontaneoni
combustion" are really caused by rats
nibbling at matches. -[Sau Francisco

BERLIN, July 10 -What is likely to
prove Il highly scasdalous aud entertain
ing aust celebre will soon BE- brought to
trial in this city. Nine s has succeeded
in swindling-that is, shs is accused Of
having done so-A goodly number Of
officers in the army aud scions Of nobil-
ity in a noteworthy way. She an
nounced through the public press that
she cosld bring about marriages between
such people and wealthy ladies who
could bring their husbands dowries of
from $4,000 to $500, 900. Her an
nouncements, as may readily be be-
ieved, did not remain unanswered by
sons of the FIRST families and cavaliers of
rank and position. The shrewd old
lady--she is old enough to be q
Northumberland about meet
iDgs between the money seeking
lovers and some pretty women who
would come to take elm Tasschen
Kaffee with her, whereupon the officers
would drop in and be introduced to them,
the ancient lady telling the lovers sub
rosa which one was worth her 100000
VI plOU,uUUi anu Wuicn WAS the great
100000 prize. Naturally the gentle.
men wished at once to come to business,
nor was Nine s.. a whit behind them in
anxiety. The would-be husbands gave
her money in advance to secure her SER
vices, and also bonds, or evidences Of
debt, contingent on the success Of her
maneuvers, but unsigned. To the latter
she forged the names Of the distin-
guished men who had written them, and
thus raised considerable sums of money,
when suddenly her tricks we're diseov-
cred, and some of the men, aver for
their "honor's sake" would not
keep silent. She has been indicted, and
when the case comes up for trial all Ber-
lin expects TO see some very pretty reve'
l%ations. Doubtless all Berlin will not be
disappointed.

Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
The militia have proven a very slender
reed as a means for the suppression Of
riot at this time. 1t is no exaggeration
to say that the difference between mill.
tia and United States regulars is respon.
sible for nearly all the lives that have
been lost and for nearly all the property
which has been destroyed. Men bent on
mischief have no fear or respect for a
soldiery composed of themselves, and
distinguished only by their uniforms
at Martiusburg they resisted the militia
with ~impunity. At Baltimore the
militia were the object Of an
assault which never would have
been made on regulars, and which
regulars would have answered probably
by clearing the street at a charge with
out sacrificing life. At Pittsburg an
absurd and stupid local prejudice against
the Philadelphia regiment seems to have
been the cause of the destruction OF pro-
perty and less of life. The Philadelphia
regiment was virtually besieged by the
Pittsburg militia wnh their uniforms off,
and It is admitted by careful observers
that the Philadelphia men behaved we'll,
while the Pittsburgers disgraced them
selves. However that may be, a contempt
ible feud paralyzed the usefulness of the
force as guardians of the peace. At Read
ing it is admitted that the militia fred at
the wrong time and without %provocAtion
All these unfortunate results are not acct
dents at all, but precisely what WI ought
to have expected from a citizen sol
diery"-citizen 800 days in the year, and
soldier the other FIVE.
On the other hand, there is very gen.
eral recognition in the toughest mob Of
the genuine quality of the United States
regulars. They encounter, wherever
they 20, respect rather than prejudice
and contempt. During all the recen.
political troubles at the South it was re
markable that the United States troops
