The Philadelphia Press prints a cor
respondence between Gen. John A. LO-
gan and T. S. Arthur, the well known
author of temperance stories, in which
the former complains of the unfavor-
able mention of his own and his wife's
name in a work written by Arthur,
entitled Danger" Mrs. Logan, the
brilliant wife of brilliant Senator" is
represented in the book as slipping wine at
a dinner and praising its flavor, and
at the same time smiling gFaciously
at a young man named Ridley, who
is in the act of quafing goblet of the
rosy" which eventually sends him to q
station house, and indirectly causes his
wifes death. Gen. Logan is indignant
at the unwarrantable false position in
which Mrs Logan IS placed by the state
ment, and declares she never in heI
whole life drank glass of wine or any
other intoxicating beverage, in Wash
tngton or elsewhere, and that her total
abstinence principles are known by every
one.
Mr.. Arthur says he wrote danger" ovel
six years ago, and must have been singu
larry of guard and unfortunate, ant
thought he was using a fictitious name
that could not suggest any living person
to the reader He has ordered the name
removed from the stereotype plates anC
offers to do anything else Gen. Logar
will suggest to repair the wrong, anC
will make the proper correction in the
next number of his magazine.
Logan ought to have known that thu
author had no reference to Mrs. JOhI
A. Logan, of Illinois, when he spoke o.
the lady as "the brilliant wife of bril-
liant Senator"

REVISION OF THE BBLE.-At a meet
ing Of the Washington City Bible Socie-
ty on Monday night it was stated that a
hitch has occurred in England in rela-
ton to publishing the new revision of
the Bible. which will delay its publica-
ton for considerable time. 1t appears
that there is an old Jaw there which pre-
vents the publication of aug revision I'M
less 1t has the approval of the Ecciesi-
astical Court Commission, which the
committee of revision did not know of
until they were ready to 90 to press
They will, therefore, have to submit
their work for approval, which is ne
cessarily Of slow process.

AS the end of Hayes period of use
fulness to the Republican party ap-
proaches very nearly, he is beginning to
understand the average feeling toward
him. It IS safe to say that no man ever
left the White House towards whom so
general and deep a feeling Of dislike and
contempt was manifested as Mr.. Hayes
is now the object of. 1t is not that in
the early part of his term he antagonized
the stalwarts, nor that he has since done
aught to ALLEVIATE his party from him.
The actual cause of this feeling is I'M
doubleday the well known fraudulent
character of his Presidential title. He
has been tolerated while he served
the party's purpose, but when he leaves
the White House, even the semblance
Of respect viii be dropped and he will
sink into the place of discarded tool,
the unfragrant character of which moves
the late user to wish to forget that it
ever existed.

The Fatal Orphan Asylum Fire.

A dispatch from Scranton, Pa, gave
a brief account of the burning of st.
Patrick's Orphan Asylum on Sunday
night last in that city, in which seven
teen children persisted Later details
are as follows:
The building is situated at the corner
of jackson street and Lincoln avenue,
about mile from the centre of the city.
1t is occupied by number of Sisters OF
Charity, and under their charge were
forty children, whose ages ranged from
six to twelve years. The boys and girls
occupied separate dOrmitories ON the
third floor. At half past eight o'clock
in the evening one of the Sisters escort
ed the children to their rooms and locked
the doors for the night. She then started
to descend the stairs. When she reached
the second story she discovered smoke
issuing from one of the rooms. Opening
the door she was driven back by cloud
of smoke. Fire was raging along the
ceiling and making its way to the upper
floors
The Sister darted up stairs.and found
the girls room full of smoke. She took
the girls to the lower floor and started
back to reach the boys dormitory The
smoke was pouring into the hallway in
binding clouds, and when about half
way up the stairs the Sister met stran-
ger. She made an effort to pass him
but he refused to allow her TO proceed,
saying that the boys had been rescued
and it would be dangerous for her to &c
for them. She reluctantly went back.
An alarm given soon after the fire
broke out brought four fire companies.
The flames were raging fiercely when
the firemen got to work. They were
informed of the belief among the Sisters
that some of the children were still in
the building, and made every effort to
reach the upper floors. In short time
the flames were beaten back.
The door of the dormitory was found
open, and the victims of the fire were
found beneath their cots. Only two OF
them were touched by the fire, and al
had evidently been dead for some time
The cause of the FIRE is in doubt. In
tense excitement prevails.

Greece Is apparently IN earnest in her
preparations for war against Turkey.
The Porte alleges that Turkey does not
want war and makes conciliatOry sug-
gestions. but Greece insists that this is a
policy Of sham and deception, which has
for its object only delay. The Turk is
profuse in his promises, but manages to
avoid any substantial concessions. The

A farmer in San Bernardino, CAL, re-
Gently had narrow and singular escape
from death. He had been caressing q
young bull, which had always been a
quiet animal enough, and when he turned
to leave him the brute rushed upon him
and knocked him senseless, vainly at
tempting to gore him as he lay PROSTATE.
About one hundred yards awey favoritte
mare and pet colt were quietly feeding.
but as soon as they saw the assault Of the
bull they rushed to the rescue, and by
kicking and biting droye the beast away.
The first thing the farmer knew was the
colt rubbing bis nose against his face, as
much as to say: I'm very sorry, but
we hurried up as fast as we could.

MIR. Henry Bergh as a Dram atist

Mr.. Bergh, so well known in New
York and to newspaper readers generally
as the President in that city of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, has written play. which was
produced at the Union League Theatre
on Thursday evening by the pupils of
Mr.. Frobisher's college of Oratory and
Acting" The critics are making fun of
the play and the actors in it. Strange
to say, as coming from so serious and
solemn person as Mr.. Bergh is repre-
sented to be, his play bears the
title of Loves Alternative" and
the mildest description given of it is
that sit is an excellent play to yawn
over" and that sit becomes somewhat
nauseating towards the close" We are
further told that the play presents a
number of scenes full of black obscurity
and sepulchral mystery, through which
the elongated form of an uncommonly
desperate villain and several other per
sons of equal probability come and go
at intervals. The players also come in
for their share of criticism, but their de-
merits are summed up in a few words.
All that is said of them, but it is enough,
is that "they exhibited their lack of
talent with conspicuous skill.

What the Sail Vessel has to Contend
With.

Twenty years ago the Cunard steam
ship Persia, then the finest vessel afoat,
used to consume 6 40 pounds of coal
per hour per horse power. So great was
the space required for the coal that,
though the vessel was of 1900 tons bur
den, she could only find room for $50
tons of paying cargo. Contrast this
with the performances of a new steamer
Of the present day. The Arizona is about
double the size of the Persia, but she
consumes only II pounds of coal per
hour per horse power. The consequence
is that she can carry 3. 400 tons of pay:
ing freight, and can steam 164 knots
against the Persia's IL, thus burning but
one fifth of ton of coal for each ton Of
goods carried across the Atlantic, in
stead of the 81 tons burned by the Per-
STA. The present expenditure in coal in
carrying ton of goods across is there
fore less than / 80 Of what it was twenty
years ago, and Improvement is still 60
ing on. 1t is no wonder that sailing
vessels find it harder and harder to make
a decent living.

A Southern Grace Darling.

Captain Clason of the sloop Tommy,
plying between Clear Lake and this CITY,
gives the NeOS an account of an act of
heroism by young girl that is emf
nently worthy of record. He says that
during the last norther small sloop, in
which there were two men, was capsized
off Edwards Point Both succeeded in
getting upon the bottom of the boat, and
in this perilous position were buffeted by
wind and sea and exposed to the cold
for about twenty four hours. One of the
men, utterly exhausted, was ready to
succumb, but his companion bound him
to the boat with a rope, and thus pre-
vented his destruction. Finally, they
were carried by the waves to within
about mile of the shore, when they
were seen through a spyglass by Miss
Evans, a sixteen year old daughter of a
gentleman residing at the Lawrence
place on the bay shore, between Ed
wards Point and the mouth of Clear
creek. The brave girl, realizing their
imminent peril, and knowing that there
was no one on the place to go to their
rescue, herself launched frail skiff and
set out to aid them. With such a sea as
was running, tnlS would nave Deen
hazardous undertaking for strong man,
but the little heroine was not daunted by
danger. Pulling through the pillows I'M
til exhausted, she would drop her anchor,
rest, and, hosting her weights, would
start anew. In this manner she slowly
worked her way to the men, whom she
relieved from their dangerous situation,
and safely conveyed them to land, attend
ing TO their wants, and gently caring for
them at her fathers house.
