FIRE

In our notice in our last issue in regard to
the alarm of fire, night before last, we stated
that it was false alarm. Which it was. 1t
was caused by some person or persons I'M
known, igniting some straw in the neighbor-
hood of Fourth and Carson streets. There is
an ordinance on this subject, which in its
terms forbids and puts penalty on lighting,
igniting, or otherwise communicating any
straw, hay, or shavings within the city limits
at night, except and provided that the Board
of Trustees give their sign manual to the same
for public or benefcent purpose. This is
ordinance No. 4, section g. Citizens and fire
builders take notice. Since this little sound
ing of the gong which reused our worthy
neighbors from their -, cards, ETC., our
attention has been called to false alarms.
ANY one can ring fire bells What we want is
system. The desideratum is big, motif only
high, but full toned bell, upon the Court
House, (Which is strictly centraD under the
charge of the officers, where alarms can be
given and everybody can depend upon them.
No subscription, no foolishness. Let it be a
city arrangement, the Trustees buy the bell,
in which every taxpayer has share. A sys-
tenn of signals for the different wards can be
arranged so that it may be known to GER
tainty where the fire is This will put stop
to all unwarantable shouting and excitement.
Let us have central official department to
which fire discoveries can report. Property
holders want to know when and where fire is
and they are ready to help, but they want it

Big salaries in England are becoming scarce.
The great law lords are not paid as lavishly as
they used to be. Their palmy days were from
| 100 to 1880 when the CHARACTERISTIC was
often worth from fees 100000 a year, at a
time when the purchasing power of money
was nearly double what it is to-day, when the
salary is 100000 Besides, they had extra
ordinary opportunities of enriching their fam
lilies by ''patent places and patronage. Thus,
Lord Thurlow gave to one of his nephews
(who died only two years ago. sinecures worth
$40 900 year, and got for his brother the
bishopric of Durham, worth 1926, 900 year.
George Ill demurred at this last, saying that
he would be happy to give anything else, but
that the bishopric of Durham had always been
bestowed on a man of rank and family
''Then, sir, said Thorlow, 81 ask it for the
brother of the Lord High Chancellor of Eng
land" The King gave in. What a change
since then! When (ten years ago. ex-Chan
cellor Chelmford appointed his son-in-law a
Master in Lunacy at S1O,O 900 year there was
such howl, because the gentleman was not
actually practicing barrister, that he had to
rescind the appointment.

THE QUEENS TROOPERS. -The household
troops in England experience much difficulty
in filling up their ranks. The Life Guards
formerly would not accept any recruit under
six feet, and neither Roman Catholics nor
Irishmen were admitted into the corps Now
they have lowered their minimum standard to
five feet ten inches and thiriy-six inches
round the chest, and are as ready to accept
Irishmen and Roman Catholics as any other
recruits The Scots Guards also accept Irish
men.

Anxious to See II.

A good story comes from Hungary and
is told in the Cologne Ga=cttc. A party
Of strolling players came to the town Of
Tortla and set about to give m enter
tainmeut, Everything possible to their
limited resources was done to attract an
audience, but when the curtain rose
naught was TO DO seen III the auditorium
but most bcSgarly account Of empty
boxes-only here and there man. The
actor stepped to the footlights and ex.
plained that the play could not proceed
before sot smnll an audience. "What
will you take to play the thing for me ?"
asked n gentleman named Marinka.
Fifty gplden," was the reply. "All
right; fire ahead; I'll pay the shot, Slitl
the noble Mmccnas. The play begun,
but before the end Of the first act Ma
rinka sang out: "There! I've had
enough Of that; let's see the second net. /"
In the second net there was very inter-
csting Scene, which caused NIarinka to
exclaim: "Here go buck and do the
thing over again" In the thir,l act the
new MecenNs yNwned and cried;
",There that'll do. Ring down the
curtain md follow me-" The curtain
was rung down aud NIarinka took the
players to q tavern, wliere they NIL made
a night OF it. The treat cost him forty
1orins, besides the fifty gulden he paid
for the play.

The Henellls Of Savings l,anks.

An article in Lipplcton'. Journal OBJ
iects to the efforts which apparently are
making i'll some quarters to discreiit the
savings bank system OIL account Of the
misuHlnNgement Of, IL few bilnkS; and it
prints some very suggestive figures to
show how small are tho losses in these
particular cases compared with the greut
benefits derived from the generlsystcn.
II says: -
There lias been entrusted to the saw
IgS banks Of New York State since their
begiuuing (from 1910 to january 1, 1876
the sum of 81, 2,1lG,S5S,093. There has
been paid or credited to ,lcpositOrs dur
ing this period, Us profit Or interest, $780,
429, 900, while the banks hold, rs n con-
tingent fund against exigencies, sur
plus Of nearly S34, 100000. The amount
held by them on january first, 1876 (nt
this writing tlle statistics for the whole
State up to the first Of lust january are
not in), was s919, 100000. These huge
figures show the vastness Of the interest.
Now, careful estimate of the losses that
hAye occurred by fixtures places them at
about three millions OF dollars.
That is to sAy, the loss is one-elcventh
OF the surplus; one tltty-sixtl Of the in
terest which the banks have paiI to de-
positors; one seventh Of one per centum
OF the whole amount deposited with the
banks; less than one per centum of the
balance held last year. il the loss had al
fallen upon TINT year. Up to 1870 the
whole loss was less than ono hundrelth
Of one per centilm Of the whole amount
of deposits. These facts ilo not excuse
misnnnngemCnt in particular cases; they
do not excuse the makers and minister's
Of law for any failure to throw every DOS
sihle safeguard around these popular de-
positorics; but they do vidicate tho
confidence in the savings bank system
which llns been gaining strength for the
last fifty years. ....

A Vicious Fish.

Right whales frequently find their
way into the Bay Of Fundy, ard are
there captured. The bay is also n IA
vorite resort for the thrasher md the
sworltish. I have heard old coasters say
that they hud seen tllrnshers fOrty-ive
and fifty feet long, moving with great
velocity on tie surface Of tho water, their
heads raised ten and twelve feet above.
Bay Of Fundy fishermen, in speaking Of
them, say they are the greatest OF sea
villains. Twenty odd years ago one Of
these sea monsters got caught on sand
bar, where he was left by the rapid full
ing Of the tide in the Cumberland branch
Of the Bay OF Funly, and was killed by
the people on shore after MI exciting
struggle. He measured forty-six feet
in length. AS Capt. Memo says, the
head is tlnt md serpeni.like, the eyes nj
most red, with ugly white circles over
them. Indeed, nothing could be more
repulsiye than the head Of this sea mon.
ster. The only other sea villain they
are known to fratcrnize with is the
swonlfish. Both arc well known to old
coasters md fishermen rs the deadly
enemy Of the whale; md it is the COM
mon belief that they hunt in couples,
and on finding the whale make immetli-
ate war, the sworlhsh attacking beneath
and the tllr1Isler on top.
: The common belief is that the thrashcr
has n huge weapon, very like slellgc
hammer, protrutling from his mouth,
with which he administers on the whales
buck those terrible blows you can hear
ten or twelve miles distant. / have my
self stood on bluff overlooking the Bay
Of Fundy, and witnessed three Of these
terrible battles between whale and his
enemies, the swortliisl and the tllrasler
The sworlltish did his deadly work I'M.
derneath, while, as Capt. Memo says,
the tllrasler coiled himself half over the
whale, and applied the blows with his
ponderOus tlIil. Iu the distance, how
ever, the thrAsller seems to raise and let
his weapon fall very much rs black
smiths helper handles his sledge. You
could see the weapon rise and fall; you
could hear the blows distinctly, although
the distance WIS believed to he not less
tllan ten miles from shore, aud you could
also hear the whale below md see him
blow. On one OF these occasions the
terrible contest lasted nearly three
hours, tho water in the vicinity being
red with blood. About every fifteen or
twenty minutes the whale would disap-
pear in m attempt to escape from his
enemies; but they would quickly pursue
him and force him to the surface, where
the combat would be renewed.
These two sen villains, the swordfsh
and thrasher, invariably kill the whale
when they get him into close quarters;
and as soon MS the combat ceases, which
can be clearly seen by the whales body
floating motiOnless, the thrashcr will
proceed to clear water, where, raising
his serpent-like head in triumph, ten
twelve, and fifteen feet above the sur
face, lie will continue for fifteen and
sometimes twenty minutes lashing the
sea into foam.

ALondon letter to tho San Francisco
Post says: It is gratifying to observe
tliat the second meeting of the clergy
meurof London and some Of. the leading
trades unilnists has excited more inter
est thnM The first did. 1t is thought that
the clergymen in this movement are i'm
bue,i with the noble aspiration to pre-.
pare themselves for MI intelligent dis
charge Of their duties MS priests. They
have noted the working classes orgariz.
ing continus,Isly and eifectually, and
desire to become better acquainted with
the leaders OF their movements. The
spcctacleis one of peculiar interest, rs
perhaps indicating the growth of party
within the State church who desire Il
separation Of the spiritual and temporal
connection. The high church party are
ripe for change, being dissatisfied with
their present position. 1t is thought by
several gentlemen with whom I have
conversed upon the subiect-one IN edi-
tor Of London daily, onea public writer
OF repute, and one u secretary of politi-
cal sOciety-that behind the movement
OF the clergy to meet the trade uIlionists
lies desire to prepare tho way for be-
coming the church Of the people. The
vast majority Of the workingmen OF this
country arc affiliated with no church,
being Indifferent; but il they incline
any way, it is to the church OF England,
especially in the. towns md cities. II
the clergymen Of that church identify
themselves with the workmen's move.
ments, they will easily distance the dis
senters in their estimation and favor.
We must not pass this movement by Ms
unimpOrtNnt, us the spirit That prompted
it will continue to work, and peacefully
effect n great change in the relations Of
the church to tho people.
Many ClCrgymen greatly regret n lost
opportunity that they and the sQuires
had with the agricultural laborers. Had
these two parties united III helping
poor Hodge to gain the small increase III
his scnnt pay that he contentetl himself
III demanding from the farmers, they
would have perpctuated their power in
tho cOmtics-tlie Troy strOnghold-for
m indefinite period. Now, when the
lnborcrs acquire the right to vote, they
will regard the squire and the clergy ny
their natural political opponents. Tho
clergy, who have imbibcd some OF the
liberal culture OF the lAst half century,
do not desire to see their chance pass

with tho rural laborers hence their
latest effort to cultivate better md more
