Grand Rounds.

A Midnight Inspection of the Engine
 Houses by the Fire Commissioners and
 Chief Engineer-Everything Found in
 Admirable Order.
 Last evening was the time selected by Chief Hendrick for the annual ssgrand rounds" of the several engine houses for the purpose of testing the men in their prompt ness to respond to fire alarms. All the Fire Commissioners were invited and all except
 Commissioner Baldwin were present. Fire
 Marshal Kennedy and Assistant Superintend-
 ent of Fire Alarm Smith were of the party.
 Carriages were taken from City Hall at 10:3O
 o'clock and the party were first
 driven to the vicinity of engine 5's
 house in Fair Haven, where the party
 proceeded very stealthily to the side
 door and were admitted by Superintendent
 Smith. After all had been posted where
 they could see well Superintendent Smith
 struck the gong three times. The horses
 rushed to their places beside the engine pole
 and within the thills of the hose carriage, and
 in 3G seconds were ready for start. The men came down stairs with rush, supposine
 there was 8 fire. and looked with apparent astonishment at the crowd of people in the 0nR1u0 hOuS0 WHO were oAOAA promptnesssand the excellent training of the horses
 The engine house of No. on Edwards street was next visited, and the same pro- gramme was observed as at No. 5's house Here everything was got in readiness for g start in g seconds.
 Engine No 4, corner of St. John and Wal. lace streets, was next visited, and the time taken for a start was 35 seconds Hose ', at the supply house on East Water street, required 39 seconds, the horses being rather tardy in getting in position. The men, however, were prompt
 ' At the engine and truck house on Artisan seconds The horses showed more prompt ness and better training than those of other houses.
 The new engine house of No. on Howard avenue was the next point of interest. The men here were very prompt, and came slid ing down the brass rod from the second story one after another and were ready for 6
 start in 40 seconds. The horses have not goi
 used to their new quarters yet and were little slow in getting in position. Many improve ments have been made to this house. Among others is one that closes the doors and turns down the gas when the hose cart leaves the house in going to fire This IS the m yention of Superintendent Smith. The last house visited was that of No. 8 corner of Park and Elm streets. Everything vas in readiness here in 32 seconds and the
 doors open. George Goebel, the driver, was on his seat andsready for start really sup posing there was fire. They made ths quickest time of any company. This closed the grand rounds" and every
 one expressed themselves as highly pleased with the promptness of the firemen. The men had no idea that the inspection was tt l take place last evening, and before starting the telephone was cut off so that one house | could not connect with the other and le
 them know what was going on. All thing l considered it was very satisfactory lnspec ! tion.

The Dream that Frightened WO-
man.
Bath tMc.) Times.

A lady in Bath was recently much
alarmed by dreaming that some one was
holding her wrist. Vainly endeayoring
to scream for assistance, she succeeded
at length is whispering just loud enough
to awaken herself. After few minutes
relief at being no longer under the influ-
ence OF dream, she became conscious
that some one was really holding her
left wrist, and all her strength was mad
equate to release it. Whether to call
her hostess or not was easily decided, for
her terror rendered her as speechless as
she had been before awakening. 1t
could not be that any of her friends had
seized her wrist in sport; it was too
rigid clasp, and had been continued
some time, for her left hand was cold and
numb. But just as she should have
been able to speak in a moment, she
found the relentless grasp was that of
her own right hand, and not easy to
withdraw from its twin companion, so
desperate had been its hold.

Tile only case of intimidation at the
polls on Tuesday last, that has yet
come to light, occurred in the Second
ward. Mr.. P. Blomberg, who was at
the polls peddling temperance tickets.
asserts that he was constantly surroun-
ded by gang of drunken rowdies who
pointed the finger of scorn at him and
wagged their tongues saying, "Ha, ha."
Mr.. Blomberg should remember that
this was the treatment accorded the
early abolitionists, and has always been
the fate of reformers. 1t seems to be
necessary for any party in its early ef-
forts to establish great principle, to
pass through through this humiliation
and martyrdom, and Mr.. Blomberg
should brace up and try and have some
style about him. Suppose George God
frey had fled from the voice of the cat
erwauler, where would the greenback
party be to-day.
