Fire in the Surburbs.

About three o'clock yesterday morn
ing a fire broke out in the stable of
the premises occupied by the Sisters
of the Good Shepherd, near the Pop,
lar boulevard, beyond the city limits.
The barn, in which was stored stock
feed for the winter, also three COWS, a
mule, a wagon, a rockaway and other
property, we're all destroyed. The
loss, which is total, there being no in.
surance, will foot up fully $1,000, and
falls heavily upon the worthy Sisters
who have struggled hard to improve
their quarters and make them COM
Portable to the inmates. Some are in.
clined to think the FIRE due to incen.
diarlsm but it is stated that a hired
man who sleeps in the stable was ad-
dicted to smoking and it is possible
that a scattering pipe spark kindled
the blaze. The charitable Sisters
have the earnest sympathy of the pub

HeImbOId,s Buehu.

Helmbold's Buchu has long been known
as n Of the most valuable medicines at
tainable in certain classes Of diseases, such
as dyspepsia, chronic rheumatism, dropsy
cutaneous affections, and especially afIec-
tons Of the urinary organs. As a diuretic,
it is superior TO almost any other medi-
ci in use, and the great care with which
1t s prepared, the absolute purity of the
preparation, and the diligence used in the
selection Of the crude material, have made
1t known far and wide as a reliable and
effective preparation, and one that can
always be used with safety and benefit.
The great success Of Helmbold's Buchu
has led TO the production Of many spur
ious preparations, which are made cheap
ly and placed upon the market to DO sold
on the reputation acquired by Helmbold's
original preparation. Parties who desire
a really good medicine should be careful
and use Helmbold's only.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Juvenile Pinafore Troupe,
numbering full thirty children, will
present Pinafore at the theater to-
night. They include both genders,
and it is said they are a jolly set Of
tars with exquisite voices, and a funny
as well as an artistic rendition of
Pinafore is anticipated. The troupe
has been received with marked favor
in other cities. The children range
from four to fourteen years of age, and
during Christmas week they gave ten
performances in New Orleans before
nearly $4,000 people. They perform
Sullivan and Gilbert's comic opera in
very clever style, dresses all new and
voices fresh and sweet.
The Cavendish Troupe closed to a
very good house in Much Ado About
Nothing on Saturday night last. To-
night they are to play Lady Clancarty
at Pixies Opera House, Cincinnati,
and in three weeks from now the
company are to appear in New York
City. Miss Cavendish began her stage
career when less than sixteen years
old. but her first real hit was ten years
since in The Romance of a Poor
Young Man at the Hayiaarket (Lon-
DOM Theater. She afterwards travel
ed two or three seasons with Sothern,
appearing in David Garrick, Dun
dreary, Home and other pieces with
success. Her best character is that of
Beatrice in Shakspeare's Much Ado
About Nothing, but she is also fine as
"Rosalind," Julia" "Lady Teazle,"
Pauline" Lady Macbeth" and
others.

manifestations.

GHOSTS.

Not Col. Ingersoll's "aristOcracy of the
air." but real human ghosts. Ghosts
that were once healthy men and women,
but are now simply the ghosts of what
they once were As we meet them, and
inquire the cause of all this change, they
repeat the old. old story, "a cold, "ne-
elected cough" "catarrh." "overwork, I"
or dyspepsia" silver complaint" and
constipation" with unsuccessful phys
icians and remedies. In Offering his
Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant
Purgative Pellets for the cure of the
above affections, DIR. Pierce does not re-
commend them as "sure cure" in all
stages. For if the lungs be half wasted
away, or there be cancerous cOmplica-
tion, no physician or medicine can cure.
The Discovery is, however, an unequal
ed pectoral and blood-puriher. 1t speed
lily cures the most aggravated cough, or
cold, and in its early or middle stages,
consumption. By correcting all irreg-
ularities of the stomach and liver, 1t
really cures blotches, pimples, scrofu-
lous ulcers, "bunches,' or tumors. Hun
dreds testify that 1t has restored their
health, after eminent physicians had
failed. For constipation, use the Pei
let's. As local remedy for catarrh, use
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.--Ohio Demo-
Gratis here are good deal annoyed at an
observation made by Congressman Hill,
of that State. Mr.. Hill is Democrat of
pronounced type, and speaks his mind
with great freedom. Night before last,
when band was serenading the Cincin-
natl delegation in honor of her selection
as the seat of the Democratic COnven-
tion, Mr. Hill made speech, and among
other things said that "we intend to in
augurate our candidate for President,
whether we elect him or not" This sem
timent has carried dismay into the
hearts of the Democrats here, because
they believe it will be used with great
effect against them on the stump. Sena-
tor Pendleton, Representative LIE Fevre,
J. G. Thompson and others are smooth
ing it over as best they can, and affirm
that Hill did not mean what he said /;
that he was merely using a picturesque
figure of speech. But the Republicans
say that this is not the first threat of the
kind, and that it will not be allowed to
pass without notice.

e Rev. DR. PHILIP SCAEF has defined
the progress made so far with the reyis-
ion of tie Bible. The New Testament
will be copyrighted and published dur
ing the coming fall, but the Old Testa-
ment will not be completed for two or
three years to come, and the Apocrypha
will he delayed two years still later.
The English committee appointed by the
Canterbury congregation for the work
has labored at it since 1870, the exceed
ing carefulness of the revision and the
research involved rendering progress
necessarily slow. Where any change is
made from the text of the King James
version it is considered three times, and
can only be adopted by majority vote
of two-thirds of the committee. A con-
fdential transcript is then sent to the
American committee at New York,
which may confirm, modify or reject
the change, and agreement between the
two bodies sometimes call for prolonged
correspondence When the task is COM
pleted the question will then arise with
the Protestant churches whether or not
they will accept the book as corrected by
the scholarship Of the nineteenth CEN
tury.

The smallest book ever printed since
type was first invented is microscopic
edition of Dante's "Divina Commedia,"
which was on view last year at the Paris
Exhibition. The whole volume of 500
pages is only five centimetres wide. Two
sheets of paper sufficed To contain all the
1929 verses of the poem, thirty verses
occupying a space of somewhat less than
eight square centimetres. The type with
which this curiosity was printed was
cast as long ago as 1854, but LO complete
book had hitherto been turned out in it.
The difficulties for compositor and ne
wiser being so enormous that the al
tempts were given up time after time, no
one being able to continue the work. In
1878 fresh attempt was made to set
up" the "COmmedia," and some notion of
the difficulty experienced may be gather
ed from the fact that the work occupied
no less than five years in its completion.
The text is that of Fraticelli, the reader
was certain Signor Luigi Busato, and
the compositor Giuseppe Geche. The
eyesight of the latter is irretrievably ru-
ined. The writer is in the Allgemeine
Zeitung, from whose article this notice
is extracted, states that he is unable to
form a judgment as to how the correc-
tions were carried out. for even with the
best magnifying glass he was unable to
follow the text continuously. The edit
tion has been christened La DantinO."

of it are to be struck off, and will short
ly be out upon the market, after which
the type will be at once broken up.

"The National Republican Convention,
which is to meet at Chicago in June,
should nominate for President OF the
United States man capable of survey
ing the whole field connected with the
interests of the country, who can fur
nish Congress with the information cali
ed for by the Constitution, and can
make such recommendations as. will be
of practical value in shaping legislation /;
"A man of the people, who has been the
architect of his own fortunes, upon
whose public and personal record there
rests no stain; man who has been test
ed by honorably filing high positions,
and who is thoroughly acquainted with
our machinery of Government; man
whose life, whose principles, whose
speeches and whose character are filled
with humanity; a man whose nomina-
tiOn must strengthen and consolidate
the Republican party. Is the Conyen-
tion seeks such man, let it nominate
lone whose name is familiar to every In
telligeut citizen of the Union, as having
maintained its credit in dark hours, and
successfully restored specie payments.
Let them nominate John Sherman, of
Ohio.
3 "The nomination of Mr.. Sherman in
Jilne will result in his triumphant cleo
tiOn by the voters or the United States
in November. His patriotism, his abil-
ity, his private virtues, and his public
services, will command him the hearty
support of every true Republican, Of
every friend of good administration, Of
every lover of honest money. With him
as a candidate, the Republican party
can receive no assault which can dim
the glory of the past or impede the pro-
gress of the future. His triumph win
be the triumph of Union and liberty, Of
the rights of the people, of the prosper
ity and the glory of the Repulic.
with John Sherman as President, the
United States would have a Govern
ment whose intercourse with other Ma
tions would be marked with that high
degree of international justice which
would neither do or tolerate wrong; a
Government which would be admins
tered at home by sound and pure men,
who would regard offices as solemn
trusts, and not as partisan spoils; Gov
eminent marked by lofty tone of pub
lie morality, mild yet efficient, conserve
tive yet liberal; a Goyernment whiea
would maintain the rights of the hum
blest citizens, and would seek the ad-
vancement of American industry and
the extension of American markets; a
Government under which Republican
principles would be predominant through
the length and the breadth of the land; a
Government under which our beloved
country would advance rapidly in the
highway of prosperity, honor. happiness
and glory"

Industrial Education.

There are certain facts Of current his
tory which give great Importance to the
subject of industrial education. 1t is
notorious, in the first place, that the old
system of apprenticeship has almost en-
tirely gene into disuse. How the Amer
lean artisan gets the knowledge and
skill which enable him to work at a
trade, is not obvious. In one way or an
other he manages to do it; but the ap-
pioach to mechanical employment has
practically ceased to be through an old
fashioned apprenticeship. Among the
causes that have conspired to procure
the abandonment of the old system, may
first be mentioned the influence of COM
mon schools. Quarrel with the fact as
we may, it cannot be successfully de-
MED that the influence of common
schools has been to unfit those subject
ed to their processes and social influ-
ences for the common emplOyments of
life. The lad who has made success
full beginning of the cultivation of his
intellect, does not like the idea of get
ting living by the skillful nse of his
muscles, in a mechanical employment.
1t does not account for everything to
say that he gets above it. 1t is enough
that he likes the line of intellectual de-
velopment in which he finds himself,
and has no taste for bodily labor. So he
goes further, or, stopping altogether,
seeks some light employment demand
ing his grade of culture, or tries to get
bis living by his wits. Mechanical en-
ployments are passing more and more
into the hands of foreigners. General
Armstrong, of the colored college at
Hampton, in recent search for black
smiths shops at the North where he
might safely place number of Indian
lads, found no Americans to deal with.
Every blacksmith was an Irishman.
If it is asked why there is not uni
ver;al effort made for the reinstate-
ment of the apprentice-systems, we re-
ply that there is a very ugly lion in the
way. An item of news which has just
gone the round of the papers states the
case as it stands. A piano-maker COM
planned that he could not get men
enough to do his work, the reason be-
ing that his men belonged to society
that had taken upon itself to regulate
the number of apprentices he could be
permitted to instruct in the business.
They had limited this number TO one ut
terly insufficient to supply the demand,
and he, was powerless. They had even
cut down the number recently, so that
there was no way for him but to i'm
port his workmen, already instructed
from abroad. In brief, there is q con-
spiracy among society-men, all over the
country, to keep American boys out OF
the useful trades; and industrial educa
tion is thus under, the ban of an out
rageous despotism which ought to bs
put down by the strong hand of th'

The Unwritten sheet.

We learned ere this from Wisdom's page
One lesson deep and strange,
That holds in youth and holds in age,
Beyond our power to change.
We know, and will answer whence
The dear-bought knowledge come,
The greatest love, the greatest grief,
The greatest joy are dumb.
We know. yet lend willing hand
To meet an obvious need;
We know, yet coldly, proudly stand
When hearts i'm silence bleed;
And he alone with speeehless lips
And fearless eyes can feel,
Will heed warning all unsaid-
A blind and mute appeal.
o friends Of pencil and of pen,
Whose work Is wide and grand;
o striving women, lettered men,

You learn of saint and sage;
But haze you power Gods thought'to

And read the unwritten page?
The spOtleSs paper comes to each,
For each its message lies,
Too grave for idle words to teach
Too deep for careless eyes;
Yet he whose conscience is as white,
Whose thoughts as free from thrall,
May take its challenge as l write,
And make reply for all.
You dare not blot the shining scroll
With words of conscious wrong;
You dare not harm living soul,
In story or In song,
Eternal strength and purity
Through all the ages reign,
And what you once deface and spoil
You cannot clear again.
Though smaller motives bid you write,
Who have no word to say,
You dare not choke with idles words
fhe straight and narrow way.
The masters grasp Life's mighty plan.
Its secret springs you know;
EXalt the woman, own the man,
And let the writer gol
But if you dare the strongest test
This mortal frame can bear,
Whatever man has known as best,
Your only thought and care;
o most of all remember then
A mission half divine.
Aud scorn to leave behind your pen
One weak, unworthy linei
God gives us freely days and hours;
We hold them far too light,
And half believe it matters not
What now we care to write.
The leaf is turned and we must stop
The hurrying pen is still;
And every page is gathered up
Our book of life to fill.
No grayer charge to man is given
Than this nnwritten sheet
Beneath the shining vault of fheaven
His words shall stand complete;
Yet he alone whose speechless lips
sfAnd fearless eyes can feel
Will heed warning all unsaid-
The papers mute appeal
