council with being dilatory in addressing the
throne. Notwithstanding it had frequent
ly been called upon to do so. 1t is alleged
that the ministers have Delayed business to
the detriment of the empire. and Yamens
concerned are called upon to decide what
their punishment shall be. This is supposed
to be the action of Prince Chun, and is mainly
intended for degradation of Prince Kung. 1t
is further stated that the Iamens called upon
have refused to comply with the demand, on
the ground that the measure is more violent
than the circumstances warrant. 1t is stated
there are nearly 100000 troops at Rutsin,
under command of Hung Chang.

sensible reply: "There is only one depart
ment OF female labor that cries to Heaven IN
sMn-and that his housework. We know OF
families that have tried again and again to
secure good cooks and good laundresses and
nave failed. If mothers do not more gener-
ally educate their daughters to regard the

Smart Destroyed.


Smart Destroyed.
We add another to our already long list of
Manchester fires. This time it is the resi-
dence of Mr.. Ruel Smart one of the best
finished houses in town, and situated mile
below the Forks on the Pond road
The blaze was first discovered by the chill
dren who slept in one of the chambers, and
was then bursting through the roof 1t soon
spread and in the course of an hour the
buildings were entirely destroyed. Two
large barns which were hard by were saved
through the strenuous exertions of the neigh
bOrs.
The furniture was mostly saved. Fifty
bushels of potatoes in the cellar were de-
stroyed. Insured for $500. Valued at $1,000.
The fire caught around the chimney, but
there had been no fire in the stove since
eight o'clock. We think we can safely chal-
lenge any town in the county to beat US on
our fire record. Meanwhile we calmly
await the next visit of the re-fend.
