The tide of the carpetbag current has

fasten itself upon the poor laborers, the
miners and mechanics. Senator John
A. Logan has gone to Colorado in the
hope Of being returned to the United
States senate in place Of Chaffe.
lie thinks that his career may be
bridged over sufficiently to engraft
himself upon the republicans of that
young state. and get what he was
expecting from the republican state
of Illinois If Illinois could not re-
turn him, with her twenty thousand
majority, he will not stand much OF
a chance in Colorado with less than
three thousand.

"Some men are born great; others

greatness thrust upon them" This 10
also true Of cities, and Dallas, in the
last few days, has demonstrated the
fact. Dallas was not born great, but
she achieved greatness, and in the last
week she has had heap Of greatness
thrust upon her: . lieutenant general,
three or four governors, railroad kings,
blosted bondholders, base ball clubs,
senators, congressman, and last, and

Dr. Adams' House Burned and Him
self BADLY Injnred.
HurcHrSs, Mag 81, 1877.
To the Editor OF Ths Herald:
DEAR SIR-At twenty minutes to
eleven o'clock last evening, our quiet
little village was disturbed by the
alarm of fire. 1t only took a glance
of the eye to tell that it was the resi-.
dence of DIR. J. L. Adams that WAS on
fire. The rapidity with which the
flames spread, only allowed time for
the family to escape with their lives,
the doctor being very badly burned in
the effort TO save his children-we fear
the worst is yet to come. He seems to
be rational, though suffering the agony
of ten thousand deaths every minute,
and exclaiming to his friends: Had
he persisted In the flames his suffering
would have been comparatively small"
He was probably only saved from
having every thread of night clothing
burned from his person by the timely
assistance of his con William, and a
man living in bis yard. the former be-
ing slightly burned about the face and
hands. A WITNESS.

Badly HuPt,

A man whose name we did not learn,
was badly injured yesterday, by fall.
ing from q water tank to the ground,
at some point south of this city on the
Central railroad. He was brought in
on the twelve o'clock train, and taken
to Mike Roe's boarding house near the
depot. A physician was called. and il
il feared that his injuries, which are
principally internal, are very severe.
Since writing the above, we learn
the injured mans name is William
Lind. DIR. Wilcox was the physician
called, and from him We learn that
the injuries be sustained were rot as
severe as at first indicated, though bad
enough to confine him for some time
to his bed. He had several ribs broken
on the left side, and suffers great deal
Of pain from respiratory movements.
He is Dane, and Is pump inspector
for the Central road. While on the
tank near Hutchins, he made q mis-
step and fell from the top, striking on
the ground, q distance Of about four
teen feet.

The C0rrecs Idea.

Pittsburg Post The impression is
rapidly gaining ground among the re-
publicsns that Hayes administrator is
simply an Ohio affair Two Ohio states
men induced Hayes to adopt the Demo
cratic policy toward the south. The
very choicest offices are given to
Ohioans and finally, the extra session
of congress was postponed until the
middle of October for the purpose of
keeping solid the administration. The
probabilities are that on the second
Tuesday of October the bottom will
drop out of the Ohio affair, and the Ohio
administration will prove TO be a .woful

Their morale" he said, has been so

that they could not be expected to re

featuring company are filling orders
rapidly for their popular machines.
They have an army of canvassers and
agents, but they have their hands full
trying to supply the actual demand.
Especially since it became known that
the company had decided to reduce

flee have nearly trebled. aad we sup
pose this 10 only an average increase
in tho business of the other offices.
Outside OF dealers who may be hand

that the company have now equipped
and are running constantly upwards
of two hundred wagons In this state,
and they have directly and indirectly
in their employ nearly five hundred
persons. The secret of their wonderful
success is that they never sell an inn

Captain Eads has . plan for in,prov>
ing the channel Of the Mississippi river
from Cairo down 70 the gulf, BY which
twenty-five feet Of water will be secured
all the year round, and lands liable to
be submerged viii be placed far above
overflow, thus doing away with the pro-
posed improved levee system, which is
estimated to cost &44 .000, 600 Eads plan
is to bring the river 70 an approximate
width between Cairo and Red river 1t
varies between these points from 5000
10 1900 feet in width. Where it is wide
the current is more sluggish and sedi-
ment is deposited in the shape of sand
bars. The reduction of these wide places
will increase the velocity of the current
and make it uniform with the current
in the narrower localities. Captain Eads
thinks amy attempt TO straighten the
river will be disastrous, - we'll - ex-
ceedingiy expensive. His plan seems 70
be simply the application OF his now
successful jetty system. to about eight
hundred miles Of the Mississippi river.
He is confident that by this method the
Mississippi river littoral would be en-
tirely lifted above Overflow.
