"A fro was discovered in the n,ain part of
the large paper mills of the firm of Moore
Arms ~ Thompson on the 4th. The fire
caught under the roof and it was with great
exertions that the village fire department and
the paper mill hose force extnguished it. If
the fire had spread it would have proved dis.
astrous to the many paper mills. A sharp
thunder shower did effective work to prevent
this. The damage to tho building, stock and
finished paper is $1,000 to 1000.

1t is amusing to note the different stories
that are told about Samuel j. Tildons physi-
cal condition. Not long ago Henry Waiter
son wen. to SEQ him, and found the old man
in the prime of a vigorous manhood, so to
speak but now, within q week, a Democratic
Congressman has seen Mr.. Tilden on the cars
between West Point and New York, and tells
the Democratic Sunday Herald of Washington
that he looked to him like man in the last
stages of decay. He had to be helped into
the car and carefully placed in seat by his
servant, who never left him. He seemed to
be utterly unable to help himself. He spoke
with sort of sputter, which made it almost
impossible for any one to understand whathe
was trying to say. He was constantly falling
into cat-naps and slipping down in his chair,
and had to be helped up and put straight
again He wanted water about every five
minutes, and altogether he seemed like a very
old man who is unable to perform the most
ordinary offices for himself One eye seemed
entirely closed, and the other was dropping
and without brilliancy or strength" On ar.
irving at New York, two servants took him by
either arm, and slowly and carefully helped
him into low coupe. This looks very much
like a correct indication of Mr.. Tilden's real
physical condition; but, whether it is or not,
one thing is very sure-and that is, that, az a
political issue, Mr.. Tilden is decrepit and dead
past all resurrection.

There has never been any indication that
the jury which acquitted the star route de
PENDANTS was corrupted until to-day A state

which shows that he thinks that money was

the verdict, he has been told by friend Of
one Of the defendants that he could have
made two thousand dollars il he had not been
so hard to approach, aud Horrigan remarks
that it is curious that one of the jurors who

The people of Dakota are not of one mind
in regard to the division of the territory into
two states, but tits evident that majority of
the jewellers in Southern Dakota propose to
insist upon division, and intend to set up
business for themselves. They have called
convention for the adoption of a constitution,
and claim TO have separate population of
$50, 900 white persons. This movement is
opposed by Gov. Ordway and those Interested
in the establishment of the state capital at Bis
marck, but it nevertheless ap pears to be an
earnest and spontaneous expression of the de-
sire of the people in the most populous half
of the territory.

the Americans in all the leading European ci-
ties showed due regard for the day.

At the annual meeting OF the Phi Beta Kap-
pa society Of Harvard college Charles Francis
Adams delivered an address which has receiv-
cd no small attention owing to the fact that
he spoke very strongly against what he called
the college superstition that Greek and Latin
form an indispensable part of n liberal oduca-
ton. Mr.. Adams charged that our colleges
10y an excessive devotion to the dead Ian
guages, fail to fit graduates for the actual life
that awaits them, and insisted that the great
or part Of the college course is spent in acquir-
ing a confossedly superficial knowledge of
Greek and Latin, to the comparative neglect
Of the actual and practical. He said that he
himself had been incapacitated from develop
ing his special work in life by a mischievous
college training, and held that every college
should afford as great facilities and accord as
high rank to those who seek to fit themselves
for practical life as to those who choose a
classical and professional course

Judge Hoadly, as we expected has proved
himself less courageous than his competitor
in the Ohio gubernatorial race. In his recep-
ton speech two weeks ago, Judge Foraker
plainly declared himself in favor of the prin.
ciple and policy of taxing the sale of liquor,
and of protective tariff. On similar occa-
sion, last Saturday night, Judge Hoadly "stu-
diously avoided"-that is, dodged-"all par
tisan questions" His only allusion to the
paramount state issue was in the remark that
he believed in each man letting his neghbor
think eat, drink and mind his own business,
just as he pleased"-which is a demagogue's
way of acknowledging that he dares to say
nothing.

that the star.route defendants had used the
proceeds of their robberies not only in paying
their own counsel, but also in buying up ex-
counsel of the government" Mr. William A.
Cook of Washington sees in the statement an
allusion to himself, and threatens to sue Mr.
Brewster for SANDER. When the government

Mr.. Cook was retained by Attorney General

later on he found he was not wanted, resign

The Minnesota Republicans, at their con-

or political convention has yet done to ra-
tional and moderate and at the same time ex
plieit statement of the tariff question; eve
believe in maintaining a system of internal
revenue levied upon articles of luxury, such
as whiskey and tobacco, together with a sys-
TEN of duties upon imports, so applied as to
provide revenue for the necessary expenses
of the government, and so adjusted as to en-
courage the development of the manufactur-
ing and labor interests of the whole country"
So long as there are wide differences of in
terest and opinion on this question, there
must be compromise, and these words rep
resent compromise which is fair and unob-

The appalling intelligence has been receiv-

in most virulent form. About 300 deaths
from the disease are reported to have occurred
within four days at Damietta and according
to one account, which seems scarcely credi.
BILE, there have been l 10 fatal cases within "a
hours. From French sources the fact is learn
ed that cholera broke out in Bombay as early
as May. Damietta lies near the coast on the
east branch of the Nile, about quarter of the
distance from Port Said to Alexandria by sea-
Mansurah, where additional cases are report
ed, lies short distance up the Dametta
branch The scourge has appeared in
quarter where it is directly communicable to
Greek, Italian, French and English ports
where it will be capable of reproducing itself
and it is not strange that the news of the out
break causes great uneasiness in Europe.

made addresses and a new poem by Whittier
was read. Nearly 10000 people attended the
temperance celebration at Lake Pleasant
where Talmage held forth as the leading at
