Encendiarism.

NEW ORLEANS, January 2d.-A fire broke
out in Aaron VOLTS crockery store, corner of
Magazine and Common streets, destroying
the building and contents, valued at $50, GOO;
insurance, S55, 900, This building was sepa-
rated from Hansell's esta 5lishment on Maya
zine street, which was burned last night,
by double fire proof walls, and the opinion is
that the fire was not communicated, but like
that in Levy's store last night, was the work
of an incendiary. In April, 1878, fire broke
out in Isidore Levy's crockery store similar
to that of last night, damaging the same
building and contents to the amount of S125,-
600. The fire from VOLTS building spread to
Joseph Levy's stationery store, TO all of Han

could not DO better than to recall! them
upon a like occasion. After paying a
generous tribute to the press, Gen. Gar

are party governments" and proclaimed
his belief in parties, in party govern

In these days of bogus claimants and
prlation of brain productions, one cannot
be too careful and as the Journal always
intends to give credit where credit is due
it sometimes finds itself in an embarras-
sing position NOTABLY SO when last week

bearing the same date-the Portland Ad-
vertser and kennebec RepOrter-an edi-
torial item in identically the same Ian
guage. We have since been satisfied,
however, by ocular demonstration, that
this item appeared in the third edition of
the Advertiser of the previous day and
originated in the office of that paper.
