A Big Blaze for a SMALL Fire.

few minutes before 10 o'clock last even
ing an alarm of fire was sounded from box
35, at the corner of Seventh and Willius
streets, and in few moments thereafter
Dayton's bluff was illuminated by what APP
peared to be huge confagratlon. The fire
proved to proceed from the barn of James
O'Darrell, near the corner of Sixth street
and Maple avenue, which was soon
entirely consumed. Engine No. 2
was promptly on the ground, but there
being no water it was of no use. valuable
stallion was in the barn when the flames
were first discovered, but he managed to
break from his stall, kick down the door, and
escape with only slight singing. The other
contents of the barn were about two tons of
hay, harness, a few tools and small guam
tity of feed. The total loss will be about
$500, on which there is no insurance.
The fire was evidently the work of a
tramp. Yesterday morning Mr.. O'Farrell
discovered an ugly looking specimen of the
breed asleep in his hay-mow. He warned
him to leave on pain of arrest. The tramp
departed, and when he had got a safe dis
lance turned, and shaking his fist at Mr..
O'Farrell, shouted: s'I'll be even with you
yet, old man." Mr.. O'Farrel is willing to
confess that the tramp has got the best of
him.

The New Electric Light.

The fact that very brilliant light could be
produced by electricity is not new But the
production of cheap electric light is new.
Inventors have been working for this result
for quarter of century. The results are
now announced with d great deal of certainty
viz: light much superior to gas, both in
volume and brilliancy, free from all nauseous
odors, perfectly safe, and much cheaper than
gas If these results have really been OBJ
tanned, then the days Of coal gas, for house
purposes, at least, will be numbered.
A correspondent of the London Globe says
that the cost, including therunning OF steam
engine, is only ten pence sterling an hour for
the production of light equal to 800 gas
burners. If this light could be subdivided,
it is affirmed that the result would be equal to
the supply of ordinay street gas at 11t cents
per thousand feet. The greatest triumph yet
attained with the electric light is in Paris,
where the rates of insurance have been re-
duced on buildings in which this light is
used.
The next great discovery will probably be
in the application of electricity as motor.
If cheap light can be produced, then it tol-
lows that heat can be generated cheaply. NOT
only can houses be heated by electricity, but
heat applied to produce hot air, or the ex-
pansion of atmosphere will probably result
in cheap motor which can be applied to a
thousand uses.

Crime, Wealth and Unhappfness.

In 1853 Harlow Case, Ex-Treasurer of
Erie county, New York, and at the time
Collector at Sandusky, ran away with $50, 900
of Government funds and Mrs. Arson Fran
els, the young and handsome wife of his
deputy. The story of the tugitives-.whose
very existence had almost universally been
forgotten during the quarter of a century
since their flight, has at last been made pub
lie for the first time. They went to London
where, by helping needy, but ingenious in
ventor, Case made some $500, ,O00 Then,
with Mrs. Francis and her daughter. he went
to Madeira, the Mauritius, and, finally, Cey-
lon, where he settled, living in splendid style.
There Mrs. Francis died, a victim of remorse
and Case, setting out to return to England,
fell sick at Suez. He sent the girl on to
London with friends, and wrote to Francis a
long letter in cipher, detailing all the facts,
and enclosing him money to 60 to Egypt.
This money Francis lost by the failure of a
bank Che had spent all his own in vain pur-
suit of the fugitives), SO he could not comply
with the dying mans wish. Case, dying, ar
ranged to reimburse the Treasury in full,
with interest, and settled money on Mr..
Francis in part reparation of his offense.

Evils of Gossip.

We have known country society which
withered away ali to nothing under the dry
rot of gossip. Friendships once as firm as
granite, dissolved to jelly, and then ran away
to water, only because of this; love that
promised future as enduring as heaven and
as stable as truth, evaported into morning
mist that turned to a days long tears, only
because of this; father and son were set
foot to foot with the fiery breath OF anger
that would never cool again between them ;
and a husband and his young wife, each
straining at the heated leash, which in the be-
ginning had been the golden bondage OF
God-blessed love, sat mournfully by the
grave where all their love and all their Joy
law buried, and all because of this. l have
seen faith transformed into mean doubt, 10Y
give place to grim despair, and charity take
on itself the features of black malevolence,
because of the small words of scandal and the
magic mutterings of gossip. Great crimes
word wrongs and deeper tragedies OF human
life spring from the larger passions; but won
derful and most mournful are the uncata-
loeued tragedies that issue from gossip and
detraction most mournful the shipwreck
often made of noble natures and lovely lives
by the bitter winds and dead salt waters OF
SANDER. So easy to say, yet so hard TO dis-
throwing on the innocent all the our-
den and the strain of demonstrating their In
nocence, and Furnishing them as guilty if un-
able to pluck out the stings they cannot see,
and to silence words they never hear-gosslp
and slander are the deadliest and cruelest
weapons man has ever forged for his brotS<
er's heart.

Rev. DIR. Talmag en- Newspapers.

DR.. Talmage is in the habit Of devoting a
part of each OF his regular Friday evening
talks TO the discussion of passing events.
Week before last he discoursed on newspa-
pers as follows: The first thing that strikes
ne in the history of this past week is the
mortality among newspapers Beginning
with the extinction of the Newark IM0rninQ
Mercury, which brcathed its last on Tuesday,
we have reports Of similar fatality to news
papers in Chicago and to one in New York,
whose decease is expected IN few days, and
we are hearing of others which are kept
alive from day to day by unnatural stimulants
Indeed, in the last few weeks newspaper
has died almost every day. The disease is
epidemic. 1t seems as if we are destined to
have comparatively few dailes and weeklies.
The large ones eat up the small ones. The
most successful way to sink money and keep
it sunk is to start newspaper. The fallacy
is abroad that almost any one can publish a
paper. The world will have to learn that a
newspaper is an institution, and that it wants
infinite brains and almost infinite capital to
establish one If you have agricultural, or
scientific, or educational, or religious ideas to
present to the public, you had better charge
upon the world through the columns already
established. 1t is folly for one who can't
succeed in anything else to try newspaper
dom. To publish newspaper requires the
skill, precision, boldness, vigilance and STRAIT
egy of commander-in-chiet, and to edit q
newspaper requires that one be a statesman,
essayist, geographer, statistician and encyclo-
p9dist. To govern and propel newspaper
until it shall be fixed institution and ma.
tional fact demands more qualities than any
business on earth.
