EDMUND BURKE.

With the 'Life of Edmund Burke" as his text, Dr.
Lord yesterday morning, at Chickerng Hail. entered
a strong protest against the French Revolution. The

Burke's Parliamentary life. said the lecturer.

affairs of India in which he showed the same good

could good in aggrandzement maintained
by wrong doing. Why should that ancient
country be used to enrich the younger of
proud aristocracy. The customs and laws of India
deied by these scions of nobility After ten
years of careful study he lifted up his voice against
the wrongs of that country and left without the
sympathics of his conductors. In his famous phil
lipics he fearlessy exposed the impostions of the
East India Company. He was the idol Of his constit.
uents until he disregarded their opinions where he
thought they did not understand. He incurred
their strong displeasurc by his defence of
the rights of the irish Catholics. The Catholics
were then treated than the Protestans of
France Not the least of his labors to bring to
the notice of the nation the wrongs of Ireland. He
of the first to prepare the way for Irish
elective franchise. Though retormer he was
conservative and yet progressive. The energies of
his declining years were turned to the agitations of
France. He loved liberty more than any man OF his
time. yet he ioathed the crimes committed in her
name. A Christian he was shocked by inidelity and
despised the sentimentalism under which Rousseau
and his admirers hid their inlmoraties. No man
more than Burke appreciated the need OF radical re-
form in France. but he considered the remedies Of
revolutionary quacks worse than the diseases they
sought to cure

 Between 10 aud II o'clock last night, persons in Prescott observed great col umrs of 4ame and smoke ascending skywari from q point abou: five railes south of town, exactly in the direction of the Aztlan mill. Some people guessed that the mil! was on fire, while other sup posed that the timber, or brush pile, or something else, was being destroyed. The matter was settled this morning by the arrival of messenger from the scene of the cUm1agratjon, with news of the total destruction of the mill, houses, ten stamps, full complement Of pans. settlers, boilers, steam engine, etc, all of ths value of sI2,0l0.
 The mill has had an eventful career. Erected by Moves and Curtis ill 1866, to work the Umpqua lode, It was afterwards moved 70 the Chase mine, then 10 Groom Greek. where il is now in ruins.
 The Peck Company owned and run it for .vera! wears past and it was, really, under their management, the first sue ccssfull bulli0n-maiier in thIs part Of the Territory. During Peck family feudS, 1t was held by -1r. EI. q. Peck; then Mr c. C.

If so, all our people hope that his discovery capture and punishment will shortly De accomplished. Hanging would be too good for the author for such crime.

WE have been much interested

WE have been much interested h a long article by Hon. R. C.. Mccormick, originally published in the "North American Review" and now issued in pamphlet form. The subject, "Our Success at Paris in 1S78," could not have been treated in q mere able and concise a manner. AS yet il would seem few Americans, save those business firms directly prof. iting by it, have realized how much indirectly each and every Cne has been benefited by the successful exhibition of the pro- ducts of American industry and Invention. Already considerable trade with foreign countries has sprung up as direct consequence, new markets have been opened for our wares, our revenue ln- creased, our national credit abroad strengthened and in vari- ous other ways has successful competition at Paris redounded to the praise and profit of the NatioD.
 In the amount of space oocu- pied, bu; four nations were in advance of the United States, but by no other country was so much material crowded within equal limits. The tllk of mate rial from the United States was twice as great as that sent tc Paris in 1887 or to Vienna il 1873.
 In 1857 the total number o gold medals granted 10 United S5ates exhibitors Was IS; in 1871 the number was 10, exclusive O $ Of unusual size given as grand prizes" There were 700 silveI and bronze medals.
 Several English journals attrib uteu the success of our exhibitor. 10" Yankee management" anc others said 1t came from the de termined purpose of one Repub. lie to glorify another for political effect. These intimations were entirely nwarrantab.e. The sys. tem of classification qt the EXPO sition included nine groups aHC ninety classes. Thirly-four juror were allotted to the United States and yet fifty six juries were with out an American representative These juries, composed not o French Republicans alone, bu Of the representatives of man, nations, each anxious for recog nition, we'll knew that ever. award given io the United State lessened tae number for othe countries, and it is not reasonab!t to suppose that they granted ou exhibitors any advantage througl sentiment or favor.
 -as ar instance of direct bene fit We cite that of the America Watch Co., Of Waltham, Mass they exhibited 300 gold, 300 sil yer watches and 200 movement without cases; WitEin tho frs week they were all sold to deal CTS. and the British Governmer has ordered over 400 for the Us of conductors and engineers upo tne State railways Of India.
 In almost every 0ranc,l of art .cies exhibited was the ever il creasing superiority Of America manufacture and invention deII onstrated, and this superiorit has resulted in increased trad and commerce and an increIuel 10 Inc prosperity of the who Nation.
 And foi al, this, beside the i tG!asic merit of the wares di played, much Is due to the ab management of the exhi5itic and the untiring energy, zeal ar tact shown by our Commissiune Hon. R. c. Mccormick, to appr cfate which. comparison need b
