DETAILS OF THE HURON HORROR.

DETROIT, Sept. "Details continue to
come in respecting the fire in Huron and San
lac counties, showing the approach of the
fire was heralded by dense atmosphere en-
tirely obscuring the light in the middle of
the afternoon of Monday. People carried
lanterns on the streets until three o'clock
Wednesday morning. In the woods were
many dead of all ages, presenting a revolt
ing sight. Bodies were scorched and char
red. The high winds had spread the fire
and every avenue had been closed to the
fleeing, homeless ones, leaving only death
by fire. Large burning masses of infiam-
mables were lifted bodily and
carried through the air. The skill and
courage of men seemed impotent, and
MEN AND CATTLE
were roasted together in natural fire traps.
One farmer plowing with oxen few miles
from Sand Beach, started home on the
approach of darkness, and found his wife
gone to the neighbors. He took two chill
dren and escaped, but three other children
and his eldest daughter who took another
path were found next day charged beyond
recognition heaped together. Up to We'd

in ten days. The weather prospect is fine
and the surgeons are confident for the fut-
ure. The President relishes solid food.
Had the hot weather lasted a few days
more it would have killed the President.
Surgeons deny that his lungs are af-
fected by blood poisoning. The lungs are
SOUND AND HEALTHY.
The Secretary says everybody is full of
hope and the President delighted and sure
of recovery.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. S-The result of
the election is doubtful. The Democrats
gain slowly as the count progresses.

ThS Truth Fifty Spoken

The Charlottesville Journal speaks
words of wisdom 10 the following: /
Those business men who patronlze ,
foreign printing establishments forget
that there are printing bous at Rome
that can Go their work just As well.
Connected with these houses are
newspapers which are ringing in the
ears Of the people the policy Of buy

that they should send their WORK TO
men who do not add nickle to their
trade, but on the other band drain the
town of that mnrh money! The
business man who does that is certain
" very shortsighted. What is true
Of the business man is true of the
politician. The latter. when nc -
candidate before the people expects
their vu.ea. In return he should give
his patronage to his own prorie--ihe
meh who placed him in position.
There are some men who. for the
sake of saving few dollars. will pat
ronise some foreign establishment.

PROGRESS.

The opening Of railroad communlca'
ton with the Pacific coast over the
Southern road brings as it's first fruit a
stupendous quantity of grain to st.
Louis, to be thence conveyed in barges
to New Orleans. This is but the be-
ginning, and the St. Louis newspapers
now see that the inevitable conse-
quence of Jay Gould's gigantic rail-
road and barge purchases, and the
system of business which those pur-
chases foreshadow, will be to cripple
St. Louis and make New Orleans a
great grain depot. The Republican, of
St. Louis, Gays Gould has declared
that he means to make that city
mere way station for the grain going
from the fields of the great West to
the mills of Europe, and adds, "this
thing is awful, and that St. Louis does
not gaze aghast at such evidence Of
Gould's ruiEous plot against this city
is most alarming"
st. Louis will have to content her
self with gazing aghast. She can't Dc
anything moro. For good or for ILL.,
men and corporations Of enormous
wealth have seized hold of the business
and the politics of this country, and
will control both until they provoke &
wide spread revolt or popular up-ri'
sing, and that is not easy to do. 1t il
our good luck that the current is turn.
ed to US. Ead's jetties were the frs
step, without which the other would
not have come, but everything elst
will follow.
We shall see before long cars pas
our town laden with the grain of Cali
fornia, and the rich products of Mexi
co, but they will pass. They will no
stop. And tbose who are expecting /.
great advance in the value Of tow
property, and talk lightly of assuming
burthens in the shape of taxes for fu
ture years, will find themselves sol,
out, vainly looking for the golden bar
vest. The railroad will develop al
our resources, will quicken immigra
ton, facilitate movement, and enor
mously enrich the country, but tn
town will DO benefited only 30 far a
comes from the increased wealth of TIL
Parish. Even the sugar and eotto
that now come here for shipment vii
in great part be put on rail on or nea
the plantations that produce them
The town will be q mere way station
