What Makes the Man.

Many people forget that characte grows; that it is not something to put on ready made. with womanhooG and man hood, but day by day, here little anc there little, grows with the growth anc strengthens with the strength, until good or bad, 1t becomes almost coat o. mail. Prompt, reliable, conscientious yet clear. headed and energetic, when dc you suppose he developed all these ad' mirable qualities2 When he was a boy.
 let us see the way in which boy of 10 years gets up in the morning, works, plays. studies, and we will tell you just what kind of man he will make. The boy that is late at breakfast, and late al school, stands a poor chance to be a man. The boy who neglects his duties, be they ever so small, and then excuses himself by saving, T forgotl l didn't thinkp' will never be a reliable man And the boy who finds pleasure in the suffering of weaker things will never be noble, generous, kindly mana gentle man.

The Horse in England.
ichard Grant White, in the Atlantic.

Richard Grant White, in the Atlantic.
 The Egyptians mummied all sorts of sacred brutes, including bulls, cats and crocodiles. If Englishmen should ever take to embalming beasts I am sure that, notwithstanding the national name and place which roast beet holds in English song and story, they would pass by the bull and swathe the defunct horse Tn muslin and spices. For if the horse be not god in England at least the cult of the horse is a sort of religion. There are tens of thousands of English gentlemen who have horses on their minds during the greater part of thelr waking hours. The condition of the animal; their grooming; the cut of their tails and names; the way in which they sta2d, or step, or stride; the fashion of their hearness; the build, the look, the dress of coachman and groom--these are matters to them of deep concern, of un- easy anxiety. And this is so not once a year, or once quarter, or once a month, but every day and two or three times a day; every time, indeed, that they ride or drive. Nor do l mean only those who are called "horsey" men gentlemen drivers of mail coaches and the like, who are grooms in every thing except taking wages, and some of whom l was told will carry their workmanship SC far as to take d tip Apart from these there is very large class to whom the perfection in the minutest point of the equestrian turnout is question of the major morals. When one of this feels sure that his horse, his trap" and groom will bear the criticism of his friends and rivals, the ineffable air of solemn selfsufliciency with which he sits the saddle or the box is at once amusing and pitiable. These men criti- else each others equpages as women criticise each others dress, as pedants criticise each others scholarship. In- deed, in England there is a pedantry of the stable.

Fires in the Forests.

WILLIAMsPoaT, May 10.-Owing to the
extremely dry weather now prevailing in
Northern Pennsylvania forest fires are more
frequent and destructive than usual. For
two days past an extensive conhgration has
been raging in the bemlock forests of Sui
livan county, and the reports to-day are that
more than two thousand acres have been
burned over short distance beyond the great
tannery at Thorndale, and nearly two thou
sand cords of hemlock bark destroyed. As
the forests are very dense and the ground
covered with brush and leaves, fire sweeps
through them, when famed by high wind
with wonderful rapidly As the the fire was
raging with unabated fury at last accounts
this morning, the destruction of timber and
bark will amount to thousands Of dollars
Fires have also been in progress in the north
western part of Lycoming county for day
or two past, and the reports are that four
bridges on the Lanris Creek plark road
have been burned together with large
number of saw logs and railroad ties.
BUsHKILL, Pa May 10.-Forest fires in
alarming proportion are again beginning to
break out in this vicinity. The Blue Ridge
Mountains at High Point, the highest peak
in the State of New Jersey ARE on fire, and at
oight present the most magnificent appear
ance. Opposite Milford, Pa, in Jersey large
fires are said to be burning and quantities of
valuable timber destroyed. In Monroe coun.
ty the damage is not very extensive, and no
fires of great size are no in progress there.
1t is estimated that fully twenty thousand
acres have been burned over in Pike and
Monroe counties this spring. The damage
caused by these conAagrations cannot be
closely estimated, but it is reported that vast
quantities of bark, lumber and logs have
been destroyed. Rain is anxiously looked
for snd heavy, long and steady storm is
needed just now to check the progress of the
flames The value of property destroyed by
forest fires in this county during the past
five years amounts to an immense sum.
EAsToN, Pa, May II The fires on the
northern slope of the Blue Ridge mountains
are still raging. The neighbors are fighting
the flames, but the fires have gained such
headway that nothing but rain can quench
tham.

Wind and Rain.

CHICAGO, MAY 1lth.-A heavy storm
visited large section of this state Sunday.
The thriving village of Ashley, Scott coun.
ty, is nearly destroyed. There was cloud
burst with terrific rain, thunder aud light
ning just before the catastrophe. The wind
took narrow path demolishing everything
in Its way, lasting only three minutes.
Twenty buildings we're destroyed or damaged
no lives were lost. Arrone, Smith county,
twelve dwellings were demolished. An 100
acre orchard was totally destroyed. In EN-
pire township the damage was nearly as
widespread. Many people were injured
The home of Edward Reese was destroyed
Mr.. and Mrs. Reese were lifted from their
bed, carried quarter of a mile, and set
them down on wheat field. A child OF
Keitz had its skull fractured fatally. The
track of the cyclone was three fourths of a
mile wide. The town of Guthrie, contain
ing only half dozen houses, was struck by
lightning and everything burned. No one
was hurt.

The action of the court on Tuesday in re
fusing to license one of the prominent hotels
in this town for violation of the liquor laws,
will undoubtedly have a salutary effect on
that traffic in this county. 1t will be prob
ably understood hereafter that whenever il,
Is shown to the court that any person, no
matter how competent land lord he may be

taken from him. The fact that a house has

and the unanimous decision of all the judges
under the evidence, will be sustained by ali
law abiding citizens. The motive that
prompted the action of the objection may
not be commendable, but the result must al.
ways be the same when the evidence is clear,
whether the motive be for spite, or desire
to see the laws enforced.

BRADFORD MAY l0.-The Ere ofast even
ing at Rixford is still raging, but is confin-
ed to three twenty-five thousand barrel oil
tanks, two of which are owned by the Uni.
tee States pipe line, and the other by the
ridewater line. Two or three Others, owned
by the Tidewater are in immediate danger
one of which is situated only about four
hundred feet from the ones now burning, ,and
it is.expected that they will go too. The great
er portion of Rixford has been consumed
by the confagration and total loss was re-
slized. The fire moved over the ground so
rapid that nothing could be saved. 1t is
impossible as yet to make any reasonable
estimate what the loss will be, but at the
present writing it will surely exceed two
hundred thousand dollars. About fifty rigs
we're also consumed. Fire is now raging in
the woods beyond Rixford, In Vincent's
Hollow, but no property as yet has been de
stroyed, and the chances are that rain will
fall before this second FIRE will assume alar-
ming proportions.
A Bradford dispatch last night gave the
origin of the fire mentioned above, as fol-
lows Another oil town has been devastated
This time it is Rixford, located eleven miles
below Bradford. Brush fires in the woods
bursted section of the United pipe line,
the oil flowed out in great jets, taking fire,
burning the pump station and setting fire to
25,00O barrel iron tanks, which we're filled
with oil. The lower end of tha town which
contained two hundred inhabitants, has
been burned, and is now reported that four
monster tanks are burning, and that the
town of Rixford is doomed. The Tidewater
pump station, half a mile from the origin
of the fire and located at the esst end of
Rixford, has burned, and it is thought that
main street has been devastated. The blaze is
plainly seen in Bradford. The wires are
down, and the telegraphic communication is
.otally interrupted.
BRADFORD, MAY 1.-THE burning tank
at Rixford spent its fury this afternoon. All
the fires are now extinguished. Seventy
thousand barrels of oil we're consumed, which
with tanks and machinery will make the ag-
gregate loss $4,000.

The Politicians Battle.

The idea some time ago prevalent tina,
Grant was the peoples idol aud that his
nominations would be forced upon the poll
ticaus by the popular demand, is very thor
oughly exploded now, and the fact becomes
apparent that he is nothing but politicians
candidate who they seek to force upon an
unwilling people. There did seem to be
some plausibility in the claim for his pop
ularity at the time Of the circus exhibition
which began at San Francisco and ended
brilliantly in Philadelphia. 1t was a we'll
managed free show and drew the crowd that
made it imposing but it was nothing but
an imposition. 1t faded away and Grant
faded with it, Cameron loaded up with him,
because he thought him the most serviceable
presidential timber for his particular use.
Conkling took him on his shoulder for the
same reason for fit instrument to defeat
Blaine. Both these men find their burthen
greater than they can bear, and they are
bound 10 lie down with it. Logan out in
Illinois, has an even bigger trouble with it,
and it bids fair to break his back. Eviden-
tly the Republican family is not happy.
There are so many stout leaders who have
stsked their fortunes on Grant, and so many
who have tied to Blaine that the success of eli.
ther is bound to demoralize the party. 1t may
be fortunate enough to preserve its cohesion
with dark horse, as it did when it took
Hayes, but the results of that experiment
we're not very encouraging and the trick
will not have the same popularity at Chicago
that i. had at Cincinnati. The battle evi
IDENTIFY is to be savage one, and it is very
likely to destroy the remarkable harmony of
the Republican party that kept it in power
80 long despite its sins.-Lancaster Intel

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington. D. c. May. lllh 1880.

The radical fight gets more bitter every
day, and this indicates almost infallibly a
rupture at or after Chicago. From New
YORK and Pennsylvania there are threats OF
boiling instructions and an actual ballot OF
Grants friends in the Cook county Conven-
ton yesterday was announced last night.
From time to time delegates are chosen in
Southern States for Sherman, always by the
immediate influence of Shermans subor-
dinates. Senator Blaines friends are tax
ing delegates wherever they can get them,
ana by whatever means, regardless Of the as
sumed rights of other Presidential candi-
dates. Wsshburu is, or seems to be PLAYING
double game ostensibly in the interest of
Grant, but really in favor of Washburp
first and Grantor Blaine second. 1t is hap
py arrangement of affairs. "Claimants'
and their friends accuse each other of treach-
cry and all their sins. l have never known
campaign in which the same
amount of i'll feeling existed among prom
inent men in party, or where, the proba-
bility of the breaking up of q party was so
great.
Let us suppose that Grant finally gets the
Chicago Convention. Blaine would GER
tainIy stump the whole country for him, but
Blaine's friends will, in every doubtful State,
stay away from the polls. Suppose Blaine
should be nominated. He would have the
active enmity of the old Grant rings.
Suppose Sherman. From the moment o f
Sherman's nomination the party would cease
to have hope outside the money centres, and
the money centres, with Sherman as their
Representative, have no hope whatever.
There Is one more man to be named be-
tore. we get to what may De emphatcally
called dark horses. And here it may be
said, that since 1876, clark hosses" are an
impossibility in the Radical party. The re-
naming man is Window. He is probably
the one man who would excite less opposi-
tion than any of the others named. The
unfortunate thing about him is that, while
too much talked of to be ruled out of the
field OF candidates, too little is known of
what he has done-if he has done anything
Ito enable the party to arouse any enthus-
asm in his favor. In the North he might
poll nearly the same vote that Hayes did,
but the vote OF Hayes, as everybody knows.
was quarter of million less than the
Democratic candidate received. Window
may be the man, but is beaten in advance.
But the choice is probably between Grant
Sherman, and Blaine.
