A DemOniac Shirt.

The President of the United States,
who bestowed upon Senator Morton
recently the most profound testimonial
of affection and respect that kisses and
tears could typify, has just returned
from the Capital of Virginia, where he
suffered the infections of hollow and
hypucritical show of respect. He is
now followed by the most diabolical
assault on the memory of his much
loved and highly -honored friend. It
Is from the Danville News, a Demo-
cratic-Conservative paper published in
the State of Virginia, not very far from
the point of the Presidents late visit,
and is supposed to reflect the senti.
meat of the people of that State:
Morton Is deld, and the national
hearl will now thrOb with less pain.
The political thieves in public life will
feel no more freedom by his death, for
he pan'iered to all save when he had
to ply the party lash. His party asso-
ciates will be easier. for now they will
not have to resort to pitiable subterfu-
ges TO escape the severity of party lash
in the hands of go unmerciful task.
master. The long pent-up bird of
peace can, after long trepidation, now
extend its wings over both section sec
tiOns of country now again common,
having been cemented by blood, and
now submitting after long tribulatiOu
to common equality. We cougratu-
late the whole land on this happy rid.
dance of a terrible beast, and on its
prospect for peace aud fraternity in
consequence, That he has died now is
blessing to mankind, and is the con-
summation of an act devOutly wished
but long deferred. Had he died in a
fetal state and passed off as the slough
of putrid fungus, man would never
have been cursed by his spirits earth
ly incubation, nor worms SO much
nausea over u winters supply of corro-
ded carriOn. Again we congratulate
mankind and tender our sickened SYM
pathy to the worms that haunt the
graves in Indiana,
We have been engaged in journalism
for some forty years, and never have
We encountered SO diabolical an as
sault upon the dead, coolly and delib-
erately uttered. Isthis the spirit that
modern reconciliation and pacihcation
engenders? If so, mu,h time and ef
fort has been wasted upon the piaca-
tion of mere hyenas in human form,
who are ready to howl in mortal hate
over the graves of the hon ored dead of
the nation. Such an assault upon the
memory of great and wise statesman
IL unbeoOming the commOBest rites OF
civilization, and only goes to show
how entirely the President is wasting
his fragrance upon a people wha are
ready to insult him through the mem-
Ory of dear friend.-National Repub.

Disastrous Fire in Chicago.

The mammoth dry goods house of
Field, Letter & Co., one of the largest
in the United States, was consumed
by fire on Wednesday evening of last
week. The fire was discovered about
8 o'clock on the upper floor, and before
the Fire Department could begin its
wcrk the flames had such headWay as
to cover two extra floors. Up to ii
O'Clock the fire ragged with great fury,
making it almost impossible to save
any amount of goods Shortly after
the fire had gained its headway, and
while the fireman and others were en-
gagged removing such articles as could
be secur ID near the windows, two fire.
men were kiile'i and an employe burn
ed to death, while eight others were
seriously injured by the falling floor.
The dead and wounded were, it is
thought, all secured and removed to
the adjoining stores.
The building occupied by this firm Is
at the corner of State and Washington
streets, and is owned by the Singer
Sewing Msching Company. 1t was
built in 1872, and was partly destroyed
by fire soon after its erection. Its co Is
was between $3.50 900 and $500, 900 and
is insured for about $200,00 in New
York companies.
The stock of dry goods was valued at
between 81, 100, 600 and 81, 200, 900, and
was insured in English Amer lean,
French, and Germany companies for
about ST 100000. The bulk of the in-
surance was mostly placed in New
York companies. Chicago companies
carried comparatively little.
There are various theories as to the
cause Of the fire, one being that 1t Or
iginated through spontaneous combus-
tion, and another that its origin took
place at the foot of the central elevator,
on the north side of the building.

CleOpfra's Needles Their Historic

In the city Of On, or Heilopolis there
were once five obelisks, of which one
still remains there-said to have been
erected three thousand years before the
CHRISTIAN era. Two of the other four
are at ConstantinOple and Rome; two
more were at Alexandria. OF the
iatter, the "needie" tossing about in
the Bay of Biscay, was one.

Thus, while We bear In mind that

On is the village of Matareeah, q word

which is believed to have given refuge
