THE pREJUDICED ENGINEER.

The following just reproofis from the New
York Tribune, of Friday: SIT is really high
time the engineer corps was given the new
chief they have been talking about in official
circles. General Humphreys has come to the
time of life when he permits his pride of
opinion and his personal prejudices to lead
him into unworthy business. That was a
discreditable exhibit he made in attempting
to belittle Captain Eads's work, not by facts
or arguments, but by gross misrepresenta-
tons; not openly and squarely, but in a
pamphlet quietly sent around in quarters
where it was thought it would do the most
mischief, just when the captain was asking
the government to facilitate without addi
tional outlay the completion of his great
work. General Humphreys is the man who
wanted the Fort st. Philip canal dug at cost
of thirteen millions, and who predicted that
jettles must cost at least seventeen millions,
and be failure at that. Now that Captain
Eads has given the commerce of the world
twenty-three feet of water over bar where
before he began there were less than eight,
at cost to the government, thus far, of only
one million dollars. General Humphreys
should be taught, somewhat emphatically,
the folly of splitting against the wind. The
country now knows that Eads has done it
great service. If it does not treat him gen.
erously, it will at least see that he gets fair
play"

Barn Bur ned.

The cause of the bright light on Tues
day evening, was caused by the burning
OF barn on the farm of Mr.. Styer, near
Concordville, Pa. ~,
The fire was first discovered in the up
per part OF the building, by one of the
farm hands, who Immediately awoke Mr..
s., and his family, and informed him that
the building was on fire, All of the
available force were hastily summoned,
and the work Of saving the stock, over
thirty in number, was hastily commenced
and while doing so the men frequently
had to withdraw to get fresh air. 'l
The barn was a large one, having a
length Of some 10 feet and depth of 40
feet, and was built about 20 years ago.
Its condition was good, which, coupled
with the contents, comprising nearly 100
tons of hay, 100 bushels of wheat and $50
bushels Of unthreshed oats, makes the
loss very serious one, a part Of which is
covered by an insurance in the Delaware
Ooun Fire INSURANCE. Company.
AS the flames progressed men hurried
to the scene and gave their aid with will
lingness, and succeeded in saving wag
