al disquietude may be national ordina-

llOu.
Another great use OF this calamity is
to make US content with our humble
lot. What q time our President has had !!
Not one moment free from anxiety
since the day he stepped into the White
House. Worried, worn out and shot !!
Not one OF you 90 far as quiet and
comfort are concerned, but is better of
than he is. You see our public men
are targets to be shot at. Belied, pur.
sued, misinterpreted, assassinated. So
it has always been. Macauley said 1:
Every friendship which man may
have becomes precarious as soon as he
engages in politics" Daniel Webster,
after all his honors, and in the close oi
his life said: "If l were to live my life
over again with my present experiences,
l would not under any circumstances
allow myself to enter public life. The
public are ungrateful. Tne man who
serves the public most faithfully re-
ceives no adequate reward. In my own
history those acts which have been be.
fore God most disinterested and the
least stained with selfish considerations,
have been precisely those for which !
have been most freely abused" No; no,
Have Nothing to Do With Politics.
Sell your iron. Eat the bread OF inde-
pendence. Support your families with
the rewards Of honest toll. Do your
duty as a private citizen to your coun.
try, but let politics alone. 1t is q hard
life, a thankless life. That is the evi.
dence OF one who ought to know. My
friends, if we stay down there is less
danger of being shot down. He who
has a good occupation and Q good char.
acter and a good hope through Jesus
Christ has all that is worth having
More than that is exposure, is chargin,
IS worriment, is exhaustion. Is death.
BY all the turmoil and CONSERVATION
and watching and terror and suffering
of the White House for the last eight
weeks l charge you be content with
such things as ye have.

FIERCE FIRE.
A Michigan Glass House Laid
Waste.

DETROIT, MICH., September 3.-The
Deleray Glass Works, situated at the
mouth OF the river Rouge, four and a
hall miles below this city and owned by
Louis Blitz, successor TO Israel Blitz d
Co., caught fire on the roof from the
heat OF pot oven at noon to day, and
in less than thirty-fve minutes the
whole establishment was destroyed.
The buildings include a melting
house, flatting house, grinding mill, pot
house, mixing and cutting rooms, ware
house, storehouse for material, and a
hall dc zen smaller buildings. A full stock
had Just been put in, sufficient almost to
run the season, and included 81 caskets
OF soda ash, 700 tons OF coal, and 10000
feet OF lumber, all of which was destroy
ed, besides the tools and other materials.
The establishment employed 700 men
who are thrown out OF employment.
The works had been idle since July lst,
having been enlarged and fitted up in
excellent shape, and thoroughly equip
ped in machinery. The men all had
been got together again and had put in
the first melting to-day, and Monday
the works would have been in full blast.
Loss $4,000 to S50, 0,000; insured for half
that amount. The works will be at
once rebuilt OF brick and iron, and it is
hoped to get them ready by the epen-
ing OF the winter.
