NAPOLEON The GREAT in war was Napoleon
the small in stature, and we do not sup
pose that he felt annoyed at the title of.the
little Corporal" bestowed on him by his
devoted soldiers in Italy. Neither should
the friends of the Secretary OF State feel
aggrieved at the title of 'Little Evarts"
bestowed on their political chieftain in the
same admiring and affectionate spirit by
Mn. ConklinR.

ALEXANDER STEPHENS weighs ninety
pounds, and is one of the soundest and
most accomplished statesmen of the South
ern States. ''Little Evarts," as Conkling
calls him, is one Of the ablest jurists of the
country, and was strong enough to carry
the United States successfully through the
Geneva arbitration.

THE WEATHER.-The deprcssions which were
in movement on Sunday night west Ct the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri rivers have since then
made considerable progress and undergone very
decided changes in their relative conditions
Az frequently occurs in the region where such
areas of low barometer approached each other
union has taken place of these two and
storm has been organized which has
taken general northeasterly course, bringing
Its centre into the valley Of the Upper
Mississippi. The southern or Texas depression
having the greatest energy seems to have alb
sorbcd the northwestern one, for its movement
was more marked than that of tho latter, even
when approaching the point Of union. The
storm, developed, IL attended by rains along
Its eastern and southern, and by snow on its
northern margin. The rain area extends from
the lakes to the Gulf Heavy gales prevail ON
the western margin Of the storm, but the
weather on that side Is clearing, with
falling temperature. On the Atlantic coast
the movement eastward Of the area Of high
pressure is progressing slowly, while the low
pressure from the westward is already add
vancing into the St. Lawrence Valley. The com
paratively high temperature that has been OK
perienced within the past day or two will con-
huuc until the storm centre has moved eastward
far enough 10 give this vicinity the westerly to
lorthw estsiy winds. General rains, followed
BY snow, will probably attend the storm in the
Middle States and New England. The coast
winds will be southwesterly to southeast
srly, shifting again to southwest, west
and northwest as the storm moves eastward.
Dangerous winds are probable for the lakes
and also for the coast north OF Cape Hatteras
during the next two or three days. The weather
In New York and its vicinity to-day will be warm
and cloudy, with rain aud increasing southeast
70 southwest winds. On tomorrow 1t will be
cooler and cloudy, possibly with light snow or
rain and followed by cold, clearing weather.

hemet Ali tried on the LON the plan of en-
deavoring to distract the operations at
Plevna by forcing the fighting on the line
held by the Czarewitch. That came to
an almost ridiculous conclusion. All
the Russian positions ON that front were SO
we'll held that the Russians were able to
simply refuse their outer lines and the Otto
man energy was exhausted before it had de-
livered a blow at the real objective point.
Those operations never disturbed for q
moment the operations at Plevna. But now
they are repeated when. the approaches to
Plevna are less susceptible to any exterior
danger, and when the mere difficulties OF
the way, il there were even no Russians in
the path, would render it scarcely possible
for Suleiman Pacha to move his army to
Plevna before Osman is finally starved out.

METROPOLITAN FIRE BUGS.
A Piendish ana Ingenious Attempt to
Start a ConhagrattOn I'm New York.
New York World.l


Alias a. m yesterday Patrolman Kehoe,
of the Eighth precinct, traced an odor OF
burning wood and kerosene to liquor store
on the southeast corner of Grand street and
South Fifth avenue, and finding the door on
South Fifth avenue unprotected, entered
and found two dummy" barrels behind the
bar on fire. An alarm was given, and the
fire department eqtinguished the flames be-
fore they gained any Roadway. The firemen
found that kerosene had been poured over
the barrels and shelves behind the Dar and
that mosquito netting saturated with the
same fluid had been laid so as TO conduct the
the fire to the shelving, which extended for
Is feet up to the ceiling. Deputy Fire Mar
shall Hill was notified, and ascertained that
only chance hindered the success of well
laid plan to burn out the place.
Along the east wall OF the store are a num-
bee of dummy" barrels three feet high,
and Immediately abJle en- are b shelv .
already spoken OF. hickersng light near
the south end of the row of barrels attracted
Hills attention, and STOPPING, he found an
ingenious apparatus. L. consisted of cigar
box packed with kerosene-saturated mos
quito netting, and pinned to the side of
the box was a candle end, so ar
ranged that in a few minutes it would
have burned down so as to commu-
nicate fire to the contents of the
box. The shelves above were dripping with
kerosene, and a pile of finely split kindling
wood, saturated with kerosene, was stacked
around the box, into which the candle fuse
was pinned. The charred remnants of q
cigar box were found in the barrels that Ke-
hoe discovered on fire, and there is no doubt
that a similar continuance to that which was
discovered by Hill set fire to the barrels, the
intention of the person who placed them
there being that they should ignite
simultaneously. The iron bar and pad
lock that fastened the South Fifth avenue
door were found in the street near the door
and two gallon stone jug that had CON
tanned kerosene was found behind the bar.
The police and fire marshal would be very
glad to know what dealer in kerosene filled
q jug of this description lately. The shelves
behind the bar were filed with dummy
bottles, but the only stock found in the
room was half a barrel of ale, although the
place has been run as a liquor store for a
long time.
Marshal Sheldon has an interesting case
on hand and when the full facts are known
it is not improbable that the public will be
startled by the revelation of The plots of a
gang of incendiaries who are in league with
business men hitherto considered respecta-
bic. Mr.. Sheldon has, he admits, obtained a
great many facts that it would not at present
be proper to publish. The stuffed cigar box,
kerosene impregnated kindling wood, the
two-gallon stone jug and other articles
found in the store are locked up in the fire
marshars office, and will prove, in the event
of an arrest and direct or circumstantial
evidence, valuable pieces de conviction.
