4 Deaf Mute Receivers His speech.

A serious collision, by which FIVE per.
sons were killed, occurred on the Allan.
tic City Narrow guage railroad on Thurs.
day afternoon last. Among those kill.
ed was Charles Scholl, deaf mute.
who. strange to say, recovered his
speech and hearing just previous to his
death. The interesting particulars are
thus described by the Philadelphia
Record
One of the strangest incidents con.
nected with the accident was the re.
covery Of his speech and hearing by
Mr.. Scholl just about ten minutes before
he died. After he was caught between
the cars and his right leg crushed he
Immediately called in an incoheTent
manner for help. Soon his tones could
be distinctly understood, and he begged
piteously to be released. Strong men
rushed 10 his aid and with axes broke
the timbers that held him in their vice,
like grip. The young man was laid on
the grass, and he said ooh give me q
drink of water"
lie was given a draught Of water,
when he said in n faint voice: 81 feel
better now Ill get better The doc.
tor shook his head ominiously and re-
marked; "We'll see how he Is in ten
minutes"
The remark had barely escaped his
lips when Scholl cried out
"Give me some water oh, do Ii
will be the last I'll ever ask for"
The poor fellow was gwen another
drink. His potion was deep and long.
Then his eyes closed, and he seemed to
pass off into a quiet sleep, but II was
that deep slumber which knows no
waking.

ing ought TO be treasured in the heart
Of every American citizen. II is the
briefest and most powerful extipguisher
we have ever seen Of that dangerous
fallacy of the Republican party that
maintains the unlimited power OF the
National Government. II the doctrine
Of Capitalization is to prevail, we will
only be a republic in name, and soon
the name itself will become odious to
the aristocratic classes who are trying
to make this splendid government at
the expense of the working men;
Ny fellow.eitizeus, the war was not
waged to change but TO preserve and
perpetuate the system of government
devised by our forefathers. II squelehed
and ended for all time tho pretended
right of any State 10 secede from the
Union, but IL were result Of war most
disastrous to the people IL, in blind re-
sentiment against the supporters Of that
exploded fallacy, they suffer the party
which concocted the war 10 itself de.
stroy our system OF government by
abolishing the reserved rights and lib.
critics OF the people Of the States. The
attempt to do it is founded on the false
and insulting pretense that the people
have become corrupt and cannot be
trusted with the management of elec.
ton of members Of Congress. In
Gods name, II the people are so de
based, is tho Federal Government purer

No, fellow-citizens, republics com.

ment centres. The greater the power
and patronage Of the Government the
quicker corruption sets in. IL was to
guard against this that our forefathers
were jealous of every grant of power to
the General Government, and carefully
reserved to the State and the people
all powers not indispensable TO form
and preserve the Union. The State
Governments are administered more
purely than the General Government,
precisely because they are nearer TO the
people, the ultimate source of power.
The county governments are as a rule
purer than those of the States. The
township governments are purer than
those OF the counties, and the school
districts are purest of all, precisely
in proportion to the nearness Of the
government to the people in its pu.

Disastrous Fire I'm Boston.
FREMONT TEMPLE DESTROYED AND THE
PARKER U0UsE BAREty SAVED

FREMONT TEMPLE DESTROYED AND THE
PARKER HOUSE BARELY SAVED.
A fire broke out about eleven O'Clock
on last Thursday night, in the rear part
Of the roof Of the fremont Temple,
situated on fremont street and adjoin
ing the rear portion Of the Parker
House. The flames got pretty good
headway before the arrival Of the fire
department, and before the engineer
got fairly at work the roof was destroy.
ed and n portion OF the walls on the
side and rear had fallen in, almost com.
pletely destroying the building.
The fine organ near which the fire
broke out is destroyed and the build
ing ia very thoroughly gutted. The
blaze soon assumed the proportisns Of
an extensive conilagration and the
proximity TO the Parker House, on
School street, opposite the City Hall,
occasioned general alarm TO the guests
of that hotel, nearly all Of whom had
retired.
The building seemed in imminent
danger, and the guests made hasty pre-
parations for "A change of quarters.
Many of them not being willing to
stand the risk OF the hotel catching on
fire promptly left the house, while 9th.
ers quickly got their baggage into the
hall and corridors, awaiting the nom.
ent when it would be necessary 10 seek
safer accommodations.
In about an hour, however, the fire
was we'll under control, and, beyond a
slight scorching of the walls in the
rear portion OF the hotel, no material
damage was done.
The loss on the Temple, which is
owned by the American Bible Society,
is estimated at from 100000 10 $l25,
600. Several fireman were injured by
falling walls, but it is thought none
were dangerously hurt. The fire is be-
lieved TO have originated from the com.
bustioE Of gas.

that State rights puts its veto on such

But the truth is Mr.. Hayes is prepar.

into obedience, are now prompting and

The press In London is becoming sepa-
rate and very extraordinary institution,
quite unlike any other existing in the
world. No press, strictly speaking has
grown up in this vast capital, but five or
six journals, controlled ard for the most
part guided by an excessively limited num-
ber of persons-certainly not full score
have attained IN unequalled develop
ment. For their purposes they have un-
limited meansi they spend them very
freely, aud they protect themselves effect
ually from dangerous competition. They
are, as far as regards foreign politics, the
public opinion of London. Their agents
in foreign capitals are almost as well known
as the Ministers Of smaller States, ami for
certain purposes and in certain crises are
much more important. Governments,
Embassies, leaders of parties study them,
make use Of them, and, we are afraid, very
often deceive them; and the reports they
send home are studied occasionally with
PaSsion"'a interest by whole people.
They do not, 1t is true, quite control
opinion. Readers wait to see when re-
sponsible parliamentary leaders will con-
firm their statements, or deny them as en-
trely or partially inaccurate. They exer-
else, however, powerful initiative in
forming public opinion; they always catch
the public ear first, and il they are incapa-
BILE, or fanatic, or dishonest, they can do an
in6nity of mischief, more especially when
they happen to differ with the Govern
ment as to the importance OF an incident.
Then they raise the suspicion that Govern.
ment is yielding and create an angry con-
dition of opinion, which renders it most
difficult, sometime almost impossible, for
Government to act freely. Tie Saturday
