CLOSE CALL.-Last night about

and sister and Mrs. Frank Weiden-
fe!ler were seated around the table,
at tho house Of the latter on Foun-
tain street, a kerosene lamp which
was standing in the center OF the
table, suddenly exploded, scattering
the burning contents over the chair
which Mrs. Weidenfeller had been
sitting on ihaving only got few
feet away and on the carpet, en-
wrapping all in flames. Through the
presence of mind of Will he sue
ceeded in checking the flames until
help was at hand, when the burning
things were thrown into the street.
Fortunately there was not much
damage done save the burning OF
the chair and eome bed clothes,
which were thrown over the fire to
smother it.

thought it would be almost impossible to

there was anotk er loss for which 1t would
be impossible to provide, viz. the loss OF

id, is not the sort of thing to make a hero Of
Mr.. Parnsll in Irish eyes.
M. Gumbstta made a very striking speech
on Monday, 81 Feb: d propos of a question
whether the Government had sent arms to
Greece. They had not, but hints were thrown
out in the debate alb out the " 0ccul. Govern
ment" of France, upon which MI. Gambetta
descended from the tribune and declared that
th ere was no occult Government. He chal.
lsnged any Minister or diplomatist to show
that be had ever interviewed. lie bad his
opinion az Deputy, sometimes he had express
ed it, as when be had spoken against attend
ing at Berlin, but he had never interfereds
He "rspudiated all respon sibiity for the acts
of the Government He had never expressed
an opinion on the Naval Demonstration,
though he had one, and elf disposed of fleets,
it is not to places like Dulcigno | would send
ONE" France ought " prudently and uninter-
ruptedly" to strive to resume her place In
the European concert; but he had imposed
on himself a duty of reserve, " and should
impose it, until the day when my country.
thinks fit clearly to invite me.to another duty"
The object of all the accusations was to deceive
the electors, by declaring his policy one of
VIZ, and SO extort a panic vote at the cleo
tons but the % was now exposed,
and it would fail. ''He was not uneasy, for
twenty years of experience had assured him
of what the country wants, and of its being
tired of defamation" The speech is declar-
ed on all bands to have produced a profound
sensation. which will last till the ~elsctions
and to have disposed of most Of the calumnieS
Gambetta.
, 1881-04-02

The difficulty in this speech, as in all Gam
betIa's recent speeches, is to discover whether
he is expressing his own opinions, or only
throwing back those of the electors. Appa-
rently, be says he will not fight urtil the
country is In a different mood, but then he
also says France must resume her place la
Hurope, which in voivos occasional fighting
Moreover, the ~allusion to. Du lcigno is distinct
ly understood to mean that if he had a fleet,
he would fly at higher game. Nor, carefully
as he watches opinion, is he oue of the men
who think lhe opinion of a multitude infinitely
more important then their W IN. Considering
the passion for peace just manifested in France,
the suspiciousness of Germany, aud his own
habit of fnesse, il is, perhaps safer TO read
M. Gambetta's policy by the light Of his
character than by that of his present words.
Judged by the former, his policy will be when
he takes power to claim for France a great
position In Europe, aud to enforce it, trusting
10 his oratory and his influence for popular
support, He will, however. act very cautiously
while the desire for peace lasts, and never call
his countrymen to a great war unless be can
convince them that it is in self-defence, or un-
less he can end it before they can demonstrates.
Obviously he postpones all action until he is in
power, but hSis at last nearly ready to accept
the burden. For the present, the Ministry
may hold on, and France may be efaced.
