About quarter to last evening the fire
bell rang, sounding the first ward, and sooI
thousands of people were rushing toward
the light which was in the direction of the
foot OF Market street. The fire proved to
be at X. j., Kivlin's cooper establishment
The building and all It's contents were de-
stroyed. The origin of the fire in the ex.
element last night could not be learned,
nor could the estimate of the loss of Mr..
Kivlin.
The cooper shop was about twenty or
thirty feet in rear of Mrs. Anna j. Wilson s
bagnio, and her castle came near going. A
number of men got on top of the building
and, being supplied with buckets of water,
saved the building which caught fire a
number of times. All the furniture was
moved out of the house and piled
up in the street, all in a more
or less dilapidated condition. Mrs.
Wilson was insured with Dexter &
Ferguson, $1,000 on her building and
81 500 on her furniture, in the following
companies equally: Hamburg Bremen and
Western Assurance. The damage she sus-
tanned is roughly estimated at $1,000,
though it may prove to be less.
The fire department answered the call
promptly land as soon as tie heavy condition
of the streets would permit got into position
to throw water There was no water near
by and steamer No. had to take position
some four blocks away and throw stream
through fully twelve hundred feet.
The cooper shop could not be saved, but
houses, there being several
were saved and the fire kept

The Lost Found,

Gus Spencer is youth of 16 years His
father lives at Greenville, in Hunt county
and Greenville not coming up to young
Spencer's ideas of city, he concluded, es'
pecially as he had reached the advanced age
of sixteen and was possessed of an immense
store of worldly wisdom and valuable lore,
that he would start out in the world on his
own hook and take peep at the elephants
that are to be found in the jungles of "a great
city. With this notion big in his head, he
left his home without bidding any one fare
well or leaving any information behind him
as to his destination He was not particu-
larly anxious to receive either letters or
postal-cards, therefore he gave no one his
address. He came to Dallas direct, because
he knew there was no other city
this side the gulf that can
compare with the Queen City. He arrived
here last Monday, and stopping at the St.
George hotel, proceeded to see what he
could see. 1t didn't take him long to find
the elephants. and as it is rather an eXpen-
sive luxury, this jungle hunting, he soon
came down TO bedrock in finances, and
being sadly in the vocatiye in the needful,
and falling sick too, he wrote back to his
father for money. The father sent friend
for him. and yesterday morning that friend
was hunting for him, and had put the po-
lice on the qui vive, giving them an accu-
rate description of him, when he accidentally
met him on the street. The youth has seen
all of the elephant he desires to gaze upon
for some time to come, and when he gets
back home will be contented TO remain
there.

No man, Whatever may be his personal
exertions, can monopoizo all the wisdom OF
his profession. II Is a law Of learning that
we learn by teaching others. The teacher,
who has the true spirit of teacher, desires
to be in the highest degree useful to those
who are to be taught. He elevates
above everything else the nature and
capabilities of the human mind, and trem-
bles under the responsibility of training its
immortal powers for time and eternity. He
recognizes the handiwork of the Creator in
every child under his guidance, and burns
with desire 10 be useful in training it to

plorable thing to lead It astray, and he who

soul is immortal and men are accountable

SHALL DAKOTA BE ADMITTED AS A
STATE?

Our dispatches of yesterday introduced
into the senate for the admission of the
territory of Dakota as state into the
Union. Whether Dakota Is fit to become
a peer of each and every one of our family
| OF states in the senate and the electoral
college will depend upon her having the
requisite amount of population and
whether they have shown themselves capa
BILE of sclfgovernment unrestrained by
federal supervision. The effort made fol
her admission is of course of republican
birth and labor, as it would thus secure
for that party two more votes in the senate
and one in the house. But it appears
there is serious opposition to the admis'
sion from some of the eastern and northern
states, or rather their people. Some ten
years ago one of her counties, Yankton,
issued some 100000 of bonds to aid the
Dakota e. Southern railroad. The interest
upon these bonds amounts now to more
han S15O000 unpaid. The county endeav
ored to repudiate the bonds, and also an
equivalent amount of the stock, but the
supreme court of the United States decided
against this, and the bondholders, chiefly
Maine and Massachusetts, capitalists, have
obtained judgments for the sums due.
unable or unwilling to pay them the poo
pie of the territory of Dakota now seek to
escape the obligations by having the terri
tory wiped out of existence and state of
the same name erected Objection is
therefore made to the admission on
the ground of the immortality of
her people. The evidence in all this
ugly business is unimpeachable. Now the
question arises whether, when state like
Virginia, under the MAHoNE-RErUDIATIoN
regime may remain honorably in the union,a
territory with only county, "a diseased limb,
can he excluded from rights and privileges
otherwise clearly due, is nut for our re-
publican opponents to crack. Whether the
noble art of Reputation by the whole body
polite as exampled by the old "mother OF
states" through the readjusters, is all right,
while the petticr act Of refusal by the whole
people to liquidate one country's indebted
ness. is one thing, while the latter is quite
another, remains for congress now to re-
solve One, perhaps, is only state shrewd-
ness, while the other is merely local folly.
Yet we fancy that il it were
southern territory in search Of the same
rights, the Immoral act would be at once
and forever a quietus upon any claim for
ldmission as a state, with three more cleo
oral votes, whether the United States gov
.rnment were bound or not by congress

widespread feeling of the distrust or an

In the meantime it is to be hoped that
the really solid fnanciers Of the country
may scent the danger and avert the evil.
A clear-headed exchange truthGully le-
marked the other day that while the eyes
OF the country are centured on Washington,
and every move upon the political chess
board is commented upon throughout the
land, it is in New York, and not at the
capital that the really important game is
being played. No matter who is ON the
supreme bench, the farmer is apt to get
the value of his wheat, but if the
struggle between GouLD and KEENE
results in general smash, it is the
farmer and the mechanic who will suffer.
"The condition Of com9erce is not healthy,
each one of the great staples has disap-
pointed the experts, and money has been
lost on every hand. The shrinkage has
not been confined to any one article, but
has been very catholic, The people seem
to have been putting themselves into the
worst possible situation for sudden finan-
cial stringency, and if the struggle in Wall
street ends disastrously fer those
who are carrying the whole burden of
the railroad stocks OF the land, the panic of
1878 will be worse than duplicated" Only
financiers of recognized ability can prop
erly deal with occasions like the present, or
suggest remedy, and it S,in our judgment,
about time to direct the closest attention of
the truly solid and intelligent business men
of the country to the operations in Wall
street, or two or three spectators
there may ruin them by thousands.
1t seems incredible that such should
be true, but that it is, no intelligent man
can doubt. A rumor ON Wall street is like
lighting the fuse to the mine.
