The Chicago fire of 1871 burned 2,6e0
acres ard destroyed $3.50 900, 900 of prop
erty. The Boston fire burned over sixty
acres and destroyed S7O,OO0,oOO of prop
eIty. There is now on forty acres ill the
dry goods district, between Chambers
street and Canal street and Broadway and
West Broadway, New York City, more
value of merchandise than was burned in
Chicago and Boston at their great fires.
The average loss per acre in Chicago was
$57,6 ,692; in Boston, $1,166,667. The
value per acre In New ork is 5000, 900.
Distributed in stores, 90 feet front by 200
feet deep, each store would contain So
100000 worth of goods. Twenty-Five
stores of the size above named contain
as much in value as the whole. amount of
property destroyed in Chicago by the

which dispute appeared to have been set
tied by the county surveyor in favor of
Fadden. Mrs. Clark went out apparent
ly to demonstrate with Padden and was
followed by the little boy who carried
shot gun, but before word was said on
either side the boy fired and killed Pad
den. The prosecution claimed that both
the mother and boy went out with mur-
derous intent, while the defense set up
that they went to remonstrate, and that
the boy, either through fear Of the pos
sible consequences of the interview. or
accident in firing with the intent of scar>
ing off Padden, committed the homicide.
The woman was sentenced to five years
Imprisonment in the penitentary. Judge
Greene granted new trial to the boy. ON
account of his tender years and the fact
that the act was committed at the COM
mand oe his mother.
The trial was very painful to witness.
The widowed mother was in the courts
room with her eight children and the
prisoner with six children. and the scene
can better be imagined than described.

A Story of Indian Life
New York Tribune.


A pleasant announcement made
by the editors of 81. Nicholas Is
that they have secured for their
next number q story of Indian
life by Innshtctheamba bright
eyes,, the daughter of an Omaha
chief, who has been travelling
through the States two years un-
der the protection Of two of her
kinsmens, trying to rouse the con-
science Of the whites to the rights
of her lace. Miss La Fleshe tfor
that Is her English name) makes
now, we believe, her first essay as
an author, but she cannot hut sue
eeed if she gives as dramatic pic
lures of the daily domestic life OF
her people as shs has hitherto
done in her addresses. She has
broad culture and keen perceptive
faculty, and she has given herself
up to the cause Of her people with
a simplicity and passionate sim
gleness of heart that must rouse
sympathy In every man and wo-
man whose own instincts are true
and pure.

He didn't say anything until he
was half way to the front gate,
when he turned around and shook

Your correspondent, Is frequently
asked il poor man can not do better
on the prairics of the West than IN the
woods of Michigan. :. m as..s g
Last week ] called at the residence
of Jx w. Swift, Of Yates township. and
found him surrounded with all the
comforts of farm life. Mr.. Swifl's
farm consists of160 acres of that varic-
ty of land known as "rhes Plains;"
land not regarded us Of the best qin..l-
ty. TiRfarrn was entered as a home
stead eight years ago, and is now well
improved and stocked with a fine
large barn, and a good sized, well fin-
ished house, All this Mr, Swift lIas
accomplished, single handed, during
the pust eight years. fs'ss W. =
My business for few years past has
led me almost wholly among tl,c
homesteadcrs of the prairie aild of the
north woods of Michigan. The past
year was spent among the homes
steaders of Nebraska. My observation
has convinced me that the average
timber homestcadcr has much more of
home comfort at tue end of FIVE years
than the Prairie Homesteader.
Had Mr.. Swift located In Nebraska
he would now doubtless have q llttle
village of stocks about him, but II lie
