YESTERDAYS FIRE.

The Vicksburg house, kept by Mr.. Nc
Carthy, caught fire yesterday evening, about
halt past five o'clock, and was greatly dam
aged. The alarm was given Immediately
and all the fire companies were promptly on
hand, but, when they arrived on the scene,
the fire had permeated nearly every part of
the house and smoke was issuing from near
ly every crevice. Work was Immediately
commenced and the heavy streams of water
thrown against the sides of the house
burst in the weather boarding in places,
disclosing the seat of the fire and enabling
the water to do its work we'll. In about an
hour the fire was entirely out, but the
house and furniture was IN a deplorable
condition. The former was chopped, torn
burnt and watered and the latter was scat
tered about the streets in great confusion.
The building was the property OF Mrs

done profitable business in it, in the wa

Hung in Efigy at Qmincy, JIt.

QUINCY, ILL.,, Aug 27.-Dr. Marks, the
manager of the Opera house, received dis
patch on Friday from Springfield, from Mr..
c. D. Hess, the manager of the Hess Opera
troupe, to the effect that if II. N. Wheeler,
editor of the Herald, was admitted to the
Opera house, his company could not play.
This dispatch was printed in the afternoon
Republican paper, and the greatest excitement
prvailed, as it was thought that Mr. Wheeler
would go to the Opera house, and that trouble
would ensue. As was expected, Wheeler
went to the Opera house, and trouble was only
avoided by Mr.. Hess receding from his po-
sition. If any demonstration had been made
to Mr.. Wheeler there is no telling what dam
age would have resulted, as the city
is at fever heat over series of articles

lately appeared in the Herald. About
O'Clock the pounding of drums was heard and

which an effigy of Wheeler was hanging. ard
two or three transparencies with notices,
appeared upon the principal streets. After
marching around for some time the process.
sion stopped near the Herald office and lighted
the effigy, which it was their intention to
burn. Immediately the crowd was charged
upon by the employees of the Herald, and the
effigy extinguished. Things were hot for
few minutes, and the wonder is that some
one was not hurt.

A Testimonial Which He Has Carried
Thirty-Nine Years.
Gen. Sibley received letter few DAYS
ago from jamestown, D. r., which,
though not designed for publication, is
highly entertaining, and the GLOBE Fhas
solicited the privilege of copying por-
ton. which is as follows.
JAMESTOWN, D. T., Aug. 26, 1SS1.-Gen. #.
H. Sibley, St. Paul-Dear sir: This afternoon
a fine looking old Indian arrived in this village
bearing papers from army officers and others
certifying to his peaceable character, etc., and
stating that he was going on a visit to Stand
ing Rock. The old fellow was fine type of
the Indian race and attracted considerable at
tention.
For the purpose of hearing him talk some
one thoughtlessly pointed to me and said in
Sioux, sthat is General Sibley's son." The old
mum at ouce got up off the floor, took both of
my hands eagerly and came about as near cry
ing as suppose it is possible for an Indian to
do. He then produced a tattsred paper of
which the following is a copy, as near as I
could decipher it:
THE bearer of this, Man Tean-Man-Sa, or
................, has been. ...... by nae

recognized your handwriting as almost
Identical with the handwriting of a letter you
were kind enough to write me in the winters
OF 1880, concerning the early history of
this section.
When saw how deeply the Indian was af-
fected at the mention of your name, insisted
that the interpreter should tell the Indian the
truth, but he added that you were personally
known to me, which was not the truth. This,
however, I did not follow up, and the In
dian, who seems also to have the name of
"Wah rec -woh-Kon," asked me to send you a
copy of the papers and tell you that had seen
him the INDIAN, and then, by signs, he added
that he was getting old and m ust soon die.
