FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The Swift and Curry Engine companies
have held two meetings with view to organ
izing an efficient FIRE department, but as yet
failed to accomplish the desired object from
the fact that the Warren Engine Company
has not as yet chosen to cooperate with the
first named companies. The officers of the
Swift and Curry companies have addressed
note to the Warrens, containing a request
that they arrive at some conclusion in the
matter before next Monday, when the
matter will be laid before the Board
of City Trustees at their monthly meeting.
In the event of an expressed Discrimination on
the part of the Warrens to join the proposed
department, the Swifts and Currys will Or
ganize by themselves. We certainly fail to
see what objection the Warrens can have to
assist in the formation OF a department.

MR.. BICKNELL'S LECTURE.

| A splendid audience and splendid lecture
at the Opera House last night In his peculiarly
happy style, Mr.. Justice Hawley of the Su
preme Court introduced the lecturer. The
discourse, he said, was to be delivered at the
| request of the Grand Army Of the Republic
and he trusted that the enthusiasm of the
occasion would be equal to that which was
embodied in the lecture. We will not at
tempt even synopsis of this very pleasing
and eloquent discourse. Mr. Bicknell has
one great advantage over ordinary mOrtals in
his superb figure and commanding presence.
The value of enthusiasm as motor in hui
man affairs, this was the theme. 1t was con-
trasted with laziness, with inertia, with wasted
energies, with flippancy and with false en-
thusiasm itself. The illustrations were many
thro' the discourse, were many little sallies of
humor. The applause was very frequent and
hearty. In many of his passages the speaker
rose into the sublime spaces of true eloquence.
Toward the close of the lecture was descrip-
ton of charge of massed Union troops upon
the works of the enemy. The movement of
the scene was very vivid and the audience
vas taken along with the strong current of
the speakers eloquence. We are writing
this inadequate noticelregardless of our notes
which are quite ample. Our limited space and
short force compel this brevity. But we should
hesitate to attempt an elaborate report, even
under more favoring circumstances. 1t is
not fair to the lecturer to report written
address, save by his consent, and then the
report should be verbatim Certainly Mr.
Bicknell is entitled to the very hearty thanks
Of the people of Carson for this very gener-
Gus and satisfactory entertainment.
