The Cost of CONFEDERATION.

Ninety million dollars worth of prop,
erty was destroyed BY fire in the United
States in 1882. Another estimate, an
English one, puts the loss at one hundred
and ten millions. Russia, with nearly
double our population, comes next with
$1OO,OOO,OO0. The English losses were
estimated at $i5, 900, 900, the German at
$50, 100000, the French at SIS, 100000.
The great losses with us are due to the
haste in constructing framc-houses in
newly settled regions, and the necessary
inadcquacy Of fire departments in To-
calities which came into existence, as it
were, yesterday. Hence this is a great
country for Fire Insurance Companies.
We pay nearly 100000, 900 in premiums
every year. All the rest of the civilized
world pays something less than $780,
100000 to insure against fires. 1t is no
wonder so many foreign companies COM
pete for the large fire insurance of this
country. But this is great tax upon
our resources, for we have $6O,O00,O0O
less to employ actively in general trade
than we would have if there were no
apprehension of fire. In our large
cities we have very efficient fire depart
ments, and the number of fire-proof
dwellings are getting more numerous
year by year. But the rapid increase of
immigration, and the vast extension Of
our inhabited area, will long make this
country a profitable field for fire insur-
ance. Occurrences such as the destruc-
ton of the Hotel at Milwaukee, with a
loss of over hundred lives, could not
occur in any civilized country but the
United States. Our hotels, places of
amusement, and churches ought to be
protected against fire; but local govern
ment is so inefficient i'll the United
States that nowhere is the traveller SO
unsafe as within our borders. Demo-
rests Monthly.

He Und erstood It.

a woman who got aboard the Eastern
bound train on the Detroit. Lansing &
Northern at Howell the other day was
accompanied by a big dog, and after
the train had moved out a passenger
walked back to the stove and asked of
three or four young men sitting around
there:
"Can any of you talk to deaf and
dumb person by signs?'
II can, though I'm out Of practice, y
replied one.
Every well. I wish you'd 60 and
ask that woman over there if she ex-
poets friends to meet her in Detroit,
The young man walked up to her,
tapped her on the shoulder to attract
attention, and began series OF gyra-
tons, with his fingers which attracted
the eyes of every passenger in the car.
The woman's eyes opened and her jaw
fell with astonishment, but after a min
ute or two she colored up as red rs 3
beet and called out:
Eyes, I've got my dog under the seat,
and if you mean that you'll tell the
conductor on me l mean that III hire
some one to pitch you into a snow drift
if have to mortgage my farm!"

An Idol Smashed.

A series of revival meetings was in
progress, and the subject on one even
ing was the book of Ruth. Among the
congregation was a brother whom the
sisters delighted to hear. His language
way always flowery-grandly eloquent.
Waiting for his chance, he at length
arose and said: Brethren and sis
ters. the subject this evening is the book
of Ruth. And do you know that /
never turn to the book of Ruth without
a thought coming to my mind that there
it lies, like a beautiful jewel, between
the ermine of the Judges and the pur-
pie of the Kings" Such an exquisite
thought did not fail to have its effect
upon his admiring hearers. Later in
the evening an elderly clergyman came
in, and after listening to the remarks
for some time, arose and said: ''My
friends, whenever I turn to the book of
Ruth, I am always reminded OF that
beautiful quotation from Taylor, that it
lies, like lovely jewel, between the
crminc of the Jud ges and the purple Of
the Kings" And he sat down, blissful-
ly unaware of the idol he had smashed.

Astronomical Intelligence.

Another largest telescope in the world
has been brought to bear on the moon,.
with astonishing results, says Texas
Sittings. According to one account, it
brings the moon soclose to the earth
that the astronomer, unless he is afflict-
ed with partial deafness, can distinctly
hear the people in the moon say. Please,
don't shoot!'' This seems TO us to SAVIOR
somewhat Of improbability. Neither
are weprepared to accept the statement,
unless we are obliged to, that the moon
can be brought SO close thatthe smell of
green cheese can be inhaled by the as.
tronomer, unless he has bad cold in
his head.
If, however, it be a fact that the moon
is brought within ninety miles of the
earth by the larger-sized telescope, if
there is any enterprise among the luna
tics on the moon, they certainly can
bring out a telescope that will bring the
earth that small distance, and then the
two heavenly bodies will be together,
aud Texas cannot only annex Greer
County, but also the moon. if it comes
near enough. We have read the posi-
tive statement that the largest-sized tel
escope brings the moon within ninety
miles of the earth. There must be some
optical delusion about it.

How the Indians Elect Their Great Madi-
cine Man,

Yesterday the Indians on Rancho
Chico had lively sport in their ''sweat
house. A large crowd Of people from
town witnessed the dancing. The Dig
gers kept up their horrid yells until late
in the night. This ''sweat-house' is
built in the shape of hill, or mound,
an entrance being had from hole in
the top It is built of heavy lumber
and covered with dirt. The air inside
is almost sitting, but the Indians stay
in the house for several hours. The oc-
casion of the demonstration was the
election of medicine man, and the In
dams were rugged out in their best dry
goods. This election business with the
Indians is conducted con the square,"
the best man, physically, taking the
office. There is no chance for casting
illegal ballots, and they don't trife
with a great register. The two .appli-
cants take their places in the ''swcat-
house, and at given signal they COM
mence dancing. 1t is not a graceful,
gliding waltz, but it is something after
the style of the Highland Fling" the
lndians jumping and kicking until q
person would think they would jerk
their limbs Of The fun commenced in
the forenoon, and was not finished until
midnight The jumpers gave out sew
eral times and had to be rubbed and
bathed by their friends, and finally one
Of the bucks qait, saying he had oil he
could stand
