A BURNING chimney, when the SCOT has been
lighted by fire in the fireplace, can be extin-
guished by shutting all the doors in the room,
SO as to prevent any current of air up the Chin
ney; then, by throwing few handfuls of COM
mon fine salt upon the fire in the crate or on the
hearth, the Ere in the chimney will be immedi-
ately extinguished. The philosophy of this is
that in the process of burning the salt, muriatc
gas is evolved, which is a prompt extinguisher
of fire.

A FLATTERIVG OVATION.

The President and members of the
CabiLet have received very flattering
ovation in Massachusetts,. En- route,
crowds of enthusiastic people well
coined them at every station. Upon
their arrival IN Boston, the entire
State militia turned out, and the peo-
pie generally lined the streets and
gave the visitors hearty welcome.
Governor Rice and Mayor Prince re-
ceiyed the President together with ali
the civic dlgnataries of the city.
Speeches were made, receptions held
and the day generally given up to
jollitv. The decorations on the line
of march was almost universal.
On the following day the distin-
guished guests attended the COM
mencement exercises at Harvard, of
which University the President is a
graduate. After prayer, President
Elliott read paper which he SAID
had been written to George Washing
ton, the frs. President of the U. S =,
by James Willard, then President of
the University, and said there was
little to be changed in its sentiment
and tone, and the President would
now do well to accept its sentiment
as addressed directly to him. At
the close of the address the President,
evidently laboring under intense
emotion, said:
Graduates of Harvard University
this is your day. l may not, l ought
not, to take up any particle of your
valuable time. You will therefore
excuse me l am sure if l take my
seat after saying in the briefcst way
what | feel in my heart; and assure
you that l have very grateful ap-
preclation Of this hearty greeting. l
know how little it is deserved. God
grant that during the remainder of
my term / may be able to do some
thing to deserve it,"

THE Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany are now paying their train, yar''
and office men exclusively in silver
says the Silver State OF the eth.
The payment was for two months,
and some of the men received as
much as $40 in half. collars. The
company, for freight or fare, will not
receive more than five dollars in sill
yer in one payment, even from these
employees. This is one Of the arbi-
trary, the despotic DEGREES which
make people distinguish the Central
Pacific Railroad Company from other
corporations by the name of the
"great, grasping, soulless monopoly"

EULOGY OF THE PRESIDENT.

George William Curtis delivered
the address at the commencement of
Union College, Schenectady, New
York, Wednesday, and in closing
said of President Hayes: "His is a
public spirit so lofty that it is not
confined to other ages and distant
lands. You are conscious of its stir
rings in your souls. 1t calls you to
courageous service, and l am here to
bid you obey the call. Such patriot
ism may be ours. Let il be your
parting vow that it shall be yours.
Bolingbroke described patriot king
in England, and l can imagine a pa
triot President in America. can
see him, indeed, the choice of par
ty and called to administer the gov
ernment when sectional jealousy is
the fiercest and party passion the
most inflamed. | can imagine him
seeing clearly what justice aud hu-
mainly, the national law and nation
al welfare. require HIM to do, and
resolved to do it. l can imagine him
patiently enduring not only the mad
cry of party hate, the taunt of recre-
ant and traitor, of renegade and of
coward, but, what is harder to boar,
the amazement, the doubt, the grief,
the denunciaiion of those as sincerely
devoted as he is to the common well
fare. imagine him pushing firmly
on-trusting the hearts, the lntelli-
gence, the consiences of his country
men, healing angry wounds, correct
ing misunderstanding, planting JUS
tice on surer foundations, whether
his party rises or falls-lifting his
country heavenward to more per-
feet union OF prosperity and peace.
This is the spirit of a patriotism that
giIds the commonwealth with resist
less splendor of the moral law, the
vulnerable pa oply of States, the ce-
lestial secret of great nation and
happy people"

TRENoR w. PARK read Il report at
a meeting of the Directors of the
Panama Railroad the other day. He
found the road, rolling stock, wharves
and workshops at Panama, and other
property in better condition than
they had been in tor years. The
California business remained about
the same but the Central American
trade had increased. The cost of
running the road is less than last
year. Park recommends that the
road be extended to Flamingo Island,
lying mile and half ont in the
bay, which would give plenty of
deep water, do away with lighterage,
and save S125,000 per annum.

THE IOWA CONVENTION.

The Republicans Of Iowa held a
State Convention Wednesday for
the nomination Of candidates for
Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
Chief Justice of the Supreme q urt
and Superintendent of Public In
struction. Some imprudeht dele
gates offered resolutions endorsing
the Presidents Southern policy,
but they were tabled by three
quarter vote, the dispatch says. 1t
was already known that more dis
satisfaction existed in Iowa than in
any other State, and the Offering of
these test resolutions was ill-iimed
to degree. The party as a whole
has accepted the Presidents policy
on probation, and the question of
its endorsement should not be
thrust upon conventions where
there is any doubt of favorable
vote. Time will probably convince
all Republicans Of the business and
wisdom of the Presidents course.
However Jealous Republicans may
feel in behalf OF the administration,
their action should not be such as
to create schism in the party. They
should wal, patiently for time to
heal wounds now existing, and do
nothing whatever to divide or weak
en- their ranks.

THERE is o little machine the

great fights on sea-" With its cleo
trio machinery. its silent working
and gigantic rending force. it slips
along unseen below the water and

pedoes has only just begun and

THE NEZ PIERCE WAR.

Dates from the scene of hostilities
to the 25th instant say no further
murders have been committed. The
hostiles are said to number from one
to four hundred, reports differing,
and they are encamped on Salmon
river. at the mouth of White Bird
creek, about six miles from the To-
cality of the late engagement, anx-
ious for another fight. Regular troops
and volunteers in ample force are
nearly ready to move against them,
and important news may be expected
any day.
The agent at Lapwal is confident
that few of the treaty Indians will
join Joseph, and parties claiming to be
we'll informed say that the Indians
north of Clearwater river will not
assist him, as the Nez Perces de-
clined to help them in the var Of
1866. The Umatillas will be pre-
prevented from joining the hostile
Indians with much force, and from
the BOISE section there are no Indi-
ans to come.
1t is related that when the Yakima
end Spokane Indians commenced
hostilities three hundred of the Me-
Perces went to the assistance of Gen.
eral I. l. Stevens, who was far to the
eastward with a Northern Pacific
railway surveying party, and unaware
CT the menacing danger. They es-
corted the party back to the settle
ments on the Columbia river.
