IT MIGHT be doubtful, if Leadvllle
had failed, at about this time, to rec
ord great fire, whether it would be
on the direct road to become great
city. But it has been nearly burned
down, especially its business district,
it is probably following in the footsteps
of its most ilustrious example, Chicago,
and may be expected to come out all
right. 1t should have been managed
without loss of life, however, which 1t
was not; and, altogether, as an eXhlbl-
ton of skill in the art of extlngulshlng
fires. it is not first class. 1t seems too
that it was a thieves festival. Open
robbery was pursued unchecked.
What was called the Butler palace OF
fashion was stripped of its stock, car
red away by robbers under the eyes
of thousands and in all that blaze OF
light. This is discouraging for Lead
vile SO far as concerns its fire depart
ment. There is probably nothing to
be said in its favor anyhow, consider
ed simply as a city on fire and engag-
ed in the effort to get the fire put out.

A MELANCHOLY sensation prevails IN
Ct Iouis over what is called the aber-
ration of DR.. Lotion, popular clergy
man of the best reputation, and uni
versally esteemed. By direction OF his
phvsician, and the urgent desire OF his
congregation, he left ST. LOUIS lew
DAYS ago for Florida with view to
improved health. Two days atterward
he returned in sorrowful condition. 1t
seems that he seated himself beside a
ladv IN a car and proceeded to prac-
tice extraordinary rudenesses toward
her. When she left the car to escape
from him be followed her. lie was
warned bv the conductor and others,
to which he paid no attention,
and was finally knocked down and
much beaten. He Immediately then
returned home to his family, is IN
charge of members of his church who
have publicly announced that as soon
as he shall be in a condition to make
a statement he will do so, IN the
meantime declaring that his acts IN
volve no moral guilt on account OF his
condition.
In such examination of this case as
it, so far, admits of, we have been par
ticularly startled by the extraordinary
unhtness of the DR.. Lotion who lett
home on Friday for carrying on as the
Dr.Lofton had done who returned home
on Sunday. He had been i'll, and was
weak, and his physician had enllvened
some drug preparation with little
whiskey, which perhaps he used lndls-
creetly. At any rate his conduct de-
noted the influence Of some stimulus.
He behaved as if drunk. Does it not
seem pitiful that a man circumspect all
his life, a teacher and exampler OF the
best precepts and practices known to
society should, in a day change into a
brawler and ruftian, and that the ilend
that brings about such transformation
should have taken the shape of what
his physician calls "a thimble full Oh
whiskey." Frailty! thy name is man
1T used to be said it was woman.

PAUL BOYNTON. the swimmer en-
gagged few evenings ago in what IS
called "Shooting the James River Rap
ids" This is the third feat of the kind
he has accomplished, his first being on
the Tagus, in Spain, and by the charl-
table intervention of providence quite
undeserved, he still lives. What right
a man can have to a life of which he
commits such abuses we are not aware.
These rapids are said to be so danger
GUS that no boat can live in them.
There are falls of eighty feet and the
distance is three miles. When in the
middle of the stream he was at the
mercy of stream running 80 miles an
hour. He was here shot over a dam
with drop of 10 feet. He was some
what stunned but made his way, as he
could, amid the sharp rocks. In the
end he was somewhat bruised. One
could endure this sort of show if any
imaginable good came of it, if art, sci
ence, industry or discovery were id
vanced by it, if it blazoned any virtue
or even promoted any charity, but t(
see a man who has a life capable 0
good uses consign it to this treatmen
makes his preservation seem an out
rage upon Gods mercy.
