 ssUnto Thee, o God, do we give thanks"

More Cash-Less Cord Wood.

Editor Hine, of the Lowell Journal,
 in his address before the Michigan Press Association, said: One more suggestion drops in here. I think the time has come when the country press can afford to take less wood and more cash on sub- scription. Wood, especially in the tree, is not 8 legal tender for all dues and debts, and its purchasing power, espe- cially before it is cut, does not recom- mend 1t as safe or convenient circulat- ing medium. Hence I say more cash and less wood-or promises of wood on~subscription. Show me 8 country editor who has grown old in the busi- ness, and, if he had all that belonged to him, he ought to be rich man. If all the wood yet due him on subscriptions were cut and piled up to-day, steps would be taken tomorrow to form an association for the protection of tim bered lands. A whole primeval forest has been due him on subscriptions these many years, and, if he could have it now, with compound interest, payable in second-growth timber, he would be rich enough to go to Congress. s
 Let the rule be cash, payable inv0ri- ably in adUance, and put the publisher under bonds to give his wife $10 bill every time he violated that rule. This might use up the publisher, but his wife would soon be able to start bank and support him in good style, which is far better than running 8 newspaper on tick. If the publisher will boldly main tain that his paper is worth leash in advance"-all he asksfor it and little more-his readers, as rule, will not be long in coming to the same conclusion. And put pin here. If the publisher, Intentionally or otherwise, permits the idea to prevail that it is a privilege to him to send his paper to his subscribers, whether pald for or not, his readers will appreciate good deal more other paper which they have to pay for in advance. I believe this rule has as few exceptions as any other ever saw tried.

A Queens Reign.

On Wednesday, October 26, the reign of Queen Victoria ran up in duration alongside that of "Great Queen Bess, " "A years and 128 days. If Victoria lives and rules six years longer she will have reigned as long as Edward H., of "glorious and immortal memory. ? Twelve years more will put her reign with that of Henry III., and sixteen years more will give her as long term as that of her grandfather, George III. With her strong constitution and out-of- door habits there would seem to be no good reason why she may not wear the British crown to the end of the century, if any one is to wear that headpiece so long.

The following proclamation has beer issued from the Department of State:
 By the President of the United State,
 of America: ,. -.-
 ., .,.... s. A PROCLAMATION. -.,
 It has long been the pious custom oi our people with the closing of the year to look back upon the blessings brought to them in the changing course of the seasons, and to return solemn thanks to the all-giving source from whom they flow; and although at this period, when the falling leaf admonishes us that the time of our sacred duty is at hand, our Nation still lies in the shadow of great bereavement, and the mourn ing which has filled our hearts still finds it's sorrowful expression toward the God before whom we but lately bowed in grief and supplication, yet the countless benefits which have showered upon us during the past twelve months call for our fervent gratitude, and make it fit- ting that we should rejoice with thank fulness that the Lord in His infinite mercy has most signally favored our country and our people. Peace without and prosperity within have been vouchsafed to us; no pesti- lence has visited our shores; the abun- dant privileges of freedom which our fathers left us in their wisdom are still our increasing heritage; and if, in parts of our vast domain, some aff1iction has visited our brethren in the forest homes, yet even this calamity has been tenn pered and in 8 manner sanctified by the generous compassion for the suffer- CTS which has been called forth through, out our land. For all these things it is meet that the voice of the nation should go up to God in devout homage.
 Wherefore, I, Chester A. Arthur, President of the United States, do rec- ommend that all the people observe Thursday. the 24th day of November, instant, as 8 day of national thanksgiv- ing and prayer by teasing, so far as may be, from their secular labors, and meet ing in their several places of worship, there to join in ascribing honor and praise to Almighty God, whose good ness has been so manifest in our history and in our lives, and offering earnest prayers that his bounties may continue to us and to our children.
 In witness whereof have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
 Done at the City of Washington this 4th day of November, in the year of oui Lord 1881, and of the independence oi the United States the one hundred and sixth. CHESTER A. ARTHUR. By the President, JAMES G. BLAINE,

Steam Power by Wholesale.

The New York Steam Company is placing pipes in Greenwich street. while at the same time an immense boiler house or heating station is being erected on the same street to supply steam to one of the ten districts into which the city is divided. The majority of the stations are located, and the work in the district in progress is being advanced with all possible speed.
 The boiler house is something over 100 feet in height, and contains four floors of boilers, with sixteen boilers on a floor. making sixty-four boilers, hav- ing an aggregate of 15, 900 horse power The two chimneys of this immense boiler house will be little taller than Bunker Hill Monument. The steam from these boilers is to be discharged into large vertical pipes or separators-to separate the water from the steam-whence it passes into the street mains, of which there are five, two of ten inch, two of twelve inch, and one of twenty-four inch diameter. These huge pipes are laid in sections, connected together by expan- sion joints of peculiar construction which permit the pipes to expand and contract without injury. The pipes are protected from the effects of external cold by layer of mineral wool surrounded by a wooden jacket.
 A return pipe runs parallel with the supply pipe to carry the water of con- densation back to the boiler house. This pipe is much smaller than the supply pipe, and is protected in the same man. ner. The steam pressure is generally relied on to force the water back, but in case of great inclination in an adverse direction, pump will be employed to force the water back. Steam will be taken from the supply pipes for heating, for cooking, and for power, and the water of condensation will be delivered in the return water pipe. pe.-ISc6e'ataJac Aa7aerSc0n

No Respect for a Fool.

Baldwin, the defaulting cashier of the Mechanics National Bank of Newark. was at first opposed to accepting bail, but wished to go at once and be locked up in 3 cell. Speaking to his counsel the defrauding cashier said !" did not lose cent of the money of the bank in speculation. If had spent the money in Wall street I. would, I think, have had some sympathy outside; but I was not only 8 knave, but @ fool, and nobody | as any respect for fool. allowed mysaf to be taken by the neck and led till here I am, expecting to end my days in felon's cell. I would have taken my life if only had had the courage to Lave committed the act, and then it would only have added grief to disgrace. I never proited at all by the use of the money of the bank" Speaking of the manner of the examination by the direc- tors ex-Cashier Baldwin So i'd when asked why the fraud was not discovered 'tOh, you know what those examinations are. They, mean we'll enough, but they don't know I they, see a roll of $1 bills marked $50 they will carefully count the roll and see that it is all right or if there is 8 box of gold coin they will jingle them all over and count them with the greatest accuracy but when they come to balances in the books they take everything they see in black and white as Gospel truth. So you see if you have $50 in cash correctly labelled you may have a difference of $2,O00, ,000 on the books and they will never discover it. ,

THE WHEAT SUPPLY.
Late Statistics from Reliable Source.

The New York Financial Chronicle. "
in an article reviewing the present and
prospective wheat supply, in which re-
ference is made to the attempt to get IN
speculation on false reports CONCERNING
crop prospects, says:
The wheat crop of the United States.
east of the Rocky Mountains, was in 1880
estimated at 1000, 900 bushels in excess
of the crop of 1879. The exports from
the Atlantic ports from September 1 to
June 12 were in both seasons about the
same-114.0 600, 900 bushels in 1SSO-81.
against 114,000. 900 in 1S79-SO. The visi-
BILE supply as last made up was 13, ,SO2, 900
bushels, against 16,441 1000 bushels one
year ago. 1t follows that if there was an
increase in the yield so great as was esti-
mated. there has been notable increase
sof home consumption or of stocks in the
hands of farmers. Probably consump-
tion has increased, and farmers also have
larger stocks in reserve.
Beerbohm estimates that the United
Kingdom will require nearly two million
bushels week from us throughout the
summer months till the first ofSeptember,
or about the same as last year. The de-
mands of other markets upon us amount
to about million bushels week-mak-
ing three million bushels in all. This is
a large quantity; and if the crop of winter
wheat east of the Mississippi be 10 days
late and somewhat deficient in quantity.
the competition of buyers may force up
prices at the opening of the crop year,
when it is desirable to avoid such action.
The circular of G. A. King & Co., of
Toledo says, with reference to immediate
supplies, that receipts at the primary
receiving points are now a trife larger
than last year, but the movement will
probably not be oppressive, and the pros
poets are that our country may secure
near present prices for their surplus of
old wheat if they are patient; but Great
Britain, with favorable crop prospects in
Europe, will probably supply only her
current requirements"
We conclude, therefore, that the United
Kingdom and the Continent will have
rather more homegrown wheat than last
year; that the yield in the United States
East of the Mississippi and on the Pacific
coast, will be considerably deficient, but
that the yield West of the Mississippi
will be larger to moderate extent: that
the wants of foreign countries will still
be large, and that we shall have a very
liberal surplus to send them. There need,
consequently, be no apprehension of very
high or very low prices; the probability
being that the trade will proceed on the
,afe and equitable course which it has en-
Ioyed the past year.

THE GARRETTsvILLE GUY YFAwKEs
Further Account Of the Blowing up Of
the Baptist Church.
Special to The Plain Dealer


GARRETTsvILLE, June 24.-No clue has
yet been discovered to the perpetrators of
the dastardly outrage of "wednesday
night in which the Baptist Church of this
place was blown up. Crime seems to be
in our midst, and a spirit of lawiessness
and destruction pervades q certain portion
OF our citizens to an alarming extent and
has manifested itself in one of the most
uncalled for crimes on record. A little
before ten o'clock in the evening. when
all had became quiet and large part OF
our people were in bed all were startLld
by tremendous explosion which came
with such force as to startle every one
In a few moments the streets were filed
by inquiring people fastening ia all di-
rections inquiring and seeking after the
disaster which none could locate. The
steam mills were quickly visited, and all
were found undisturbed. The railroad
was then visited but no exploded loco
motive could be found. While the peo-
pie were searching in all directions, a
crash of falling material was heard at
the Baptist Church. All then hastened
there and found it in ruins. A can of
powder had been placed under it, and
had been exploded, which DESTROYED
nearly the whole building except the
frame. The building is wreck, and it
will require several hundred collars to re-
pair it again.

ber of the Cincinnati Bar association,
and for years was its president. ALI the

light of late years to take bright young
men as students. For 10years his health
has been so delicate as to require him to
be very careful.

A MOST TERRIBLE RAILWAY DIsAs-
TER.
Broken Bridge and Fire do the Work.
And Over Two Hundred Human Be-
ings Perish.

CITY OF MEXICO, June 25.-A most hor-
rible accident occurred late Friday night
on the Morilos Railway. in Mexico,
whereby over 200 people were burned and
crushed to death. The scene of the catas-
trophe was on the river San Antonio,
near the village of Mailpois. For some
time past this section of the country has
been swept by fierce storms. swelling the
creeks into torrents and laying waste
many fertile fields. The bridge spanning
the river at the point mentioned although
known TO be unsafe. was still in use when
the fated train bearing soldiers attempted
its passage. The result WAS a crash, as
the undermined supports gave way, and
the engines and cars were hurled head
long down the chasm.
Scarcely had the magnitude of the trage-
dy become apparent when new horror
was added. The freight van, comprising
a portion of the train, was consignment
OF alcohol This took fire. and subse-
quent explosion contributed much to the
loss of life.
The few who escaped uninjureda at once
applied themselves to the rescue of their
less fortunate comrades, but it was some
hours before the exact extent of the trage-
uy grew dppdTenL. lG is now KNOWN, now
ever, that 13 officers and 1902 privates were
either killed outright by the fall or roast
ed to death, while 80 others sustained
hurts of more or less serious character.
The train was entirely consumed.
When information of the sad event
reached this city, the excitement was
unbounded and crowds thronged all the
news centers anxiously awaiting particu-
lars. Never in the history of the Repub-
lie has so frightful casualty been chron-
lcled, and its occurrence, it is feared, may
still further prejudice the popular mind
against railway enterprises. However,
the "Los Gringos." as the natives term
all outside barbarians, can come in for no
share of the blame in this connection.
The Morilos road is narrow guage line,
built by Government subvention, and is
entirely the work of Mexican engineers.
II was first opened to the public on the
10th instant.
In addition to the loss of life already
reported, 1T appears that the engineer and
fireman of the ill omened train were
scalded to death.
