A NEW and perhaps sensational
theory is being offered in cxplana-
ton of the Newhall House fire. The
finding of body, burned beyond
recognition, under the sidewalk of
fered the idea that the fire was caus-
ed by tramps. In support of this
view the claim is made that tramps
frequently sneaked into the coal
cellar for nights lodging, and that
on one occasion burly fellow was
found smoking a pipe near the ele-
vator shaft. While it is desirable
and just that any person suspected
of deliberately firing the building
should be allowed the use of every
reasonable element of defense, it is
TO be hoped the subsistence of ex-
citement will not permit the author.
tiles to lose sight of the horrors Of
the calamity, and the full extent of
the Nervousness of the crime Of
arson leading to such awful results.

Work in the Wisconsin pineries
is being pushed rapidly. About 49,
900 men are engaged in falling and
hauling the trees. The great amount
of snow has hindered work some, but
the lumbermen say they would rather
have it so than open, as during last
Winter. The large quantity of snow
has drawn the frost out of the ground
to such an extent that work in the
cedar swamps is at stand. The
amount of timber cut this Winter
will be as great as, and if Spring is
late it will be greater than, for the
last three Winters.

In the comments of the press upon
the destructive floods in the Ohio
Valley much has been said about the
disastrous results of stripping a
country of timber. The flood has
been attributed to &C cutting of the
forests along the head-waters of the
river, 10y which the water from the
melting snow and the falling rain
has been more rapidly drained of
than would have been the case were
the country more generally covered
with forests. But the fact is recall

men cared lees for wealth and fame,
And less for battlefield and glory;
If writ in human hearts, name
Seems better than a song and story;
If men. instead of nursing Pride,
Would learn to hate and abhor II;
IF more relied on Love to guide,
The world would be the better for IT.
IF men dealt less in stocks and lands,
And more in bonds and deeds fraternal;
IF Love s work had more willing hands
To link this world in the Supernal;
L men stored up Loves oil and wine,
And on bruised human souls would pour 1t;
IF YOURS and mine would once combine,
The world would be the better for 1t.

And fewer spoil it in rehearsal:
IF Bigotry would sheath its knife
Till good became more universal;
If Gus tom, gray with ages grown,
Had fewer blind men to adore it;
If Talent sh0ne for Truth alone.
The world would be the better for it.
IF men were wise in little things,
Affecting less in all their dealings;
If hearts had fewer rIlsted strings
To isolate their kindly feelings;
If men, when Wrong beats down the Right
Would strike together and restore it;
if Right made Might in every fight,
The world would be the better for 1t.
