Just at the close of service on Sunday
morning the people were alarmed by the cry
of fire. Upon investigation it was ascer-
tanned that the stave factory, belonging to
Northrup and Young, just west of the rail-
road track, was on fire. The hook and lad
der company, as well as a great number of
the citizens, both men and women, were very
active in their efforts to subdue the flames,
but were unsuccessful. 1t was with great
difficulty that the fire was kept from spread
ing, in which case the destruction OF prop
| erty would have been very great. There is
a large quantity of lumber and shingles in
close proximity 10 the factory grounds be-
sides railroad buildings, warehouses, and
other property in that vicinity. Great credit
is due those who labored so valiantly TO con-
quer the fiery element. The factory is a
total loss. as there was no insurance.

Another View.

MURAr HALsrfAD's last attempt TO get
hold Of . plank that will save him frsm
going down Is this:
1.-THE accuracy OF this showing Is dis.
puted. and irregularities have been 6iscov-
cred that bring the contest so close that II Is
by no means certain that I'm New York; all
Of either the Blaine or Cleveland electoral
ticket will be chosen"
That plank will 60 down with the Field
Marshal. II in New York half the BLAINE
electors were counted and half the CLEvE-
LAND electors, CLEVELAND would neverthe-
less be elected. The count now stands
CLEVELAND 2i9. BLAINE 1872. Give BLAINE
half the New York electors and the count
will be, CLEVELAND 20l, BLAINE 200.
Throw out New York altogether, and
CLEVELAND has the same majority. The
count would be CLEVELAND 1888, BLAINE
1872.

The Popular Science Monthly for No
vember contains, as usual, a number OF In
| leresfIng articles. "Tbe Relations Be
tween the Mind and the Nervous System"
~ BY DIR. WILLIAM A. HAMMOND, high su'
thority indeed.
| J.B. CBAIGBEAD's article headed " The
Future OF the Negro" is a good one.
There never was reasoning more illogical
than that by which IL is attempted TO be
shown that at some future day the negroes
viii In this country outnumber the
whites. Look at Africa, the Oldest
country in the world in one sense, and
| learn the lesson she teaches upon that
subject. To argue that because the ne
| grocs increase more rapidly than the whites
| 10 sparseIy-settled communities they will
continue TO do 80 when population presses
upon the means Of subsistence il 40 absurd
az IL would be to draw the same inference il
| the case OF the inferior animals. 1t would
be easy to prove by exactly similar reason
ing that the negro would in the end have to
surrender the country TO wild animals.
The lower we go In the scale OF being, the
more prolific Is the animal. Howbeit. the
scientific world teaches us the doctrine Of
the .Esurvival OF the fittest," not the doc.
trire of 1.-The survival Of the most prolific"
Ultimately the white race will occupy the
whole globe unless men learn to live in a
manner different from that In which they
now ive-upon food in It's most concen-
irated form, let us suppose. and provided
in abundance in some manner not now
familiar to us. When "the struggle for
life," as il is termed, shall take place be-
tween the Negro and the Caucasian, and
between the Mongol and the Caucasian, and
between the Malay and the Caucasian, 1t
will result as resulted the refusal of the lii
dian race TO be domestcated, so to speak. 1t
was an objection to negro slavery that 1t
gave the black an advantage over the white
man, in that wealthy slave-owners cared for
their negroes as they did for their other
property, as Thomas CARLYLE said was
natural. and forced the poor whites to leave
the slaveholding States. A continuance
of the institution OF slavery without any
outlet would necessarily have resulted in
the Attenuation OF the South; and 1t is,
therefore, no wonder that southern states
men objected to being surrounded by non
slayebolding States. How do negroes COM
pare in number with the whites in the
North, But 1t may be ten thousand years
before the white race will be the only one
left upon earth.
"what is Electricity" Pending Pro-
bIems OF Astronomy" q" The Chemistry OF
Cooking" and "Thc Oil Supply OF the
World" are other articles. The editors
own contributions are always good.
We have, rs We said some time ago, one
objection TO the Popular Science Monthly-
namely, that il teaches the doctrine OF evo-
luton in so large proportion OF its arti-
cles--assumes. indeed, that he Is nom
scientific and unphilosophical who doubts
the truth Of that doctrine. We say, on the
contrary, that he is the most pitiable OF
fools who can believe that the mind OF mau
was evolved or evolved itself from pbysi-
cal beginning. But hold! We are gong
too fast and too far.
