SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.

The element Of fire is altogether a
very mysterious thing. Among all the
elements it was the most mysterious
and puzzling to those ancient sages and
philosophers who undertook to explain
all things to the ignorant and credulous
masses, who placed implicit credence
in their omens and doctrines. The an
cient sages, however, when they hood
winked the multitude, had some faint
idea concerning the inaocuracy Of their
own postulates and theories concerning
the elements, and every other intangi-
BILE subject which they undertook to
explain.
Of all the various forms of fire, that Of
spontaneous combustion is the most
mysterious; whether it originates in
we'll insured ships, in valuable cotton
cargoes, or among important papers
and documents whose writing drives
men to fate or leads them to fortune, as
the cases may be.
Fires in the various departments at
Washington have been OF frequent oc-
currence. Spontaneous combustion has
there wrought some of the most mystic
rious wonders of it's wonderful original
ity and course. The most important
ruin that it has hitherto wrought has
been among records especially needed
at the time by some Investigating COM
mittee. There it has generally played
sad havoc with the written evidence of
transactions in whose entire legality the
American public were deeply interested.
As completely as ''time's effacing fing-
ers" it has there forever blotted out
whole pages of dubious doings in the
lives of public officials, which would
have shed sufficient light to have il
lumined their innocence or foreshad-
owed their doom.
Leaving aside the bare inference that
the complete obliteration of the records
and models of highly important patents,
or the desire to create more work at the
Capital, and consequent extension of
the clerical force at the Interior Depart
ment, as a cause, had anything to do
with this result of spontaneous combus-
ton, there is still just ground in finding
fault with the culpable carelessness of
the same.
The first conspicuous act of Schurz's
administration OF interior affairs is to
let his department buildings catch fire.
The second was to emotionally dis
charge the single Waterman who was to
give warning Of their danger. It seems
that two or three watchmen might have
been employed to guard by night prop
erty worth intrinsically several millions
of dollars, and actually far more, but Of
late the Secretary's mind has been con-
stantly occupied with fixing up matters
so the Ohio clerks could go home to
vote, or with preparing for the advent
of the Indian commissioners, or evil
IDENTIFY with perusing the gush Of the
presidential party, to the utter exclusion
Of his less important duties.
But no one is to blame for not having
watched the buildings. It was purely
case of spontaneous combustion and
had spontaneous combustion done its
full work the people would have been
forced to pay only q few millions more
for land office and Indian expenses.
AS the case stands it is spontaneous
combustion, and the minister with the
eyeglasses only asks for a million to
cover the cost of the affair.
