REAR ADMIRAL NICHOLSON, commanding
the American fleet in front at Alexandria at
the time of the bombardment, IN reference to
whose action such ridiculous stories were told
by the English dispatches at the time, in his
official report to the navy department, re-
celved few days ago, without any alusion
to the stories IN question, aatly contradicts
them by simple, straightforward, business
like narrative OF what he did do. He says
when notified of the Intended bombardment
by Admiral Seymour, he Immediately notified
the American consulate IN the city and pre-
pared to receive all refugees who might seek
protection, of whom he took on board about
1870. He then moved outside the bar with his
squadron, In company with all other foreign
vessels. and remained there until the lombard

The MEANEsT CoNGREss.-Ne have had
several "meanest legislatures that ever met In
Illinois," but the congress that has just ad-
ocrned Is the first, we believe, that by CON-
mon consent has won for itself the title Of 1.-THE
meanesi congress this Country has ever had"
Not only the democratic press unanimously,
but the Republican papers with almost
equal unnaimlty, concur in awarding 1t that
title, The following from the Chicago Jour-
nal is an average specimen of how the lead
ing republican papers talk:
The people of the country will learn, with
qualification, that both houses of Congress
have agreed finally to adjourn the PRESENT. long,
reckless and improbable session this after.
noop. The people would be much better
satisfied if the Senate had passed the Tax-Re.
duction bill rs it came from the House, and
if both bouses had, in the progress OF this
long session, had more regard for public econ
omy and the interests of the people as a whole
than for the clamors and intrigues of cor
rupt and hungry lobby. 1t Is seldom if eveI
since our Government has had an existence
that any session of the National Congress has
closed with such feeling of popular DISCUS
and indignation as that which attends the clost
of the present session. 1t has not been credit
able either to itself or the country.

THE FIRE FIEND,-While the west is com
plainingoi too much wctness, a severe drought
and intensely hot weather are affecting New
England The consequence Is serious forest
fires in portions of Massachusetts, not only de.
strOying much timber, but in some cases
houses and barns.
On Monday Gardiner, Maine, was visited
by conaagraton that spread over 90 acres of
the town, principally away from the business
center but in the midst of the saw mills and
foundries The loss is placed at over 100000.
A very heavy fire occurred on Tuesday at
Dwight in this state, destroying nine large
business blocks two hotels, boarding houses,

and sent TO the khedive, who, with his minis.
listers, was at the palace, and stated that he
wished to Immediately re-cstabllsh the United
States consulate, and with his permission
would send an armed force on shore for its
protection. The khedive thanked him, and
asked his aid In extinguishing the fires, which
were still raging in the city, and also IN pre-
serving order. Admiral Nicholson according
ly landed 100 marines, who guarded the con.
position, and also aided IN extinguishing the
fires, IN burylng the dead lying about the
streets, and in preserving order around the
consular building. All of which seems to
have been exactly the right thing to do.
