THE EBONY STATESMAN.
His Position Defined by the Chicago Time

His Position Defined by the Chicago Times.
CHICAGo June 5.-The Times says edi-
toriallv: The glory of the ebony statesman
is a transient thing. 1t fades as soon as he
has been fixed" and the bargains by which
his vote has been secured having been con-
summated his luster is already departing.
He is not the tender object of solicitude and
interest to hundreds of wrangling states
men that he was two days ago. There is
nobody to buy him wine and high priced
cigars, to take him out for drives, and in
terest him with sight seeing. He was sud
denly dropped TO the level of an ordinary
white delegate and is left to look out for
himself, as they are.
Sufficiently Grand.
Still he is sufficiently grand to awe the
wondering beholder OF his race at the hotel
they who have not risen to the dignities
of craftsmanship, but are still engaged in
menial occupations. He struts the corri-
dors with lordly air, buzzes with groups
of politicians, talks loudly, geSticulateS We
hemently, sends off dispatches with the air
of a man who has the cares of nation
upon his shoulders, makes inquiries of the
hotel clerks, and altogether disports himself
in a manner that would make his constitu-
ents back heme" gaze with Open-eyed as
tonishment If they could only for an instant
behold him.

An Attack ON Moody.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec, 23.-There ID
excitement in religious circles here
over . cardattacking Dwight L. Moody
the evangelist, published to-day by b.
d. Covs,a q prominent citizen. Moody had
been invited TO come here on January :
by petitions signed by several hundred
citizens. Cove's card says that IN
April, 1876, Mr. Moody, at meeting in
New York, used language characteris'
ed by narrow, sectional, contracted pro.
judice not countenanced In any gentle
man." Moody, he says, in illustrating
the difference between Christ and Satan
spoke Of General Lee and Stonewwall
jackson as resemb ing the latter, " In
their religious characters worse than
the followers of Mahomet. In morality
the life of Nero was white as the
driven snow compared with theirs
their lives and actions more forcibly re-
presented the character Of thel King Of
Darkness than any names which my
knowledge of the worlds history en-
ables me to call to mind since Judas be-
trayed the Lord of Glory" Proceeding,
Mr.. Moody, Cove says, "robbed heaven
of its glory and God Of his attributes
with which to adorn his hero, Grant,
hisideal representative of Christ"
that every virginian "with any
pretentions to respectability is proud
to claim common citizenship with
the immortal Lee and jackson, proud
that Virginia had such Christian heroes
to offer to the service of their country.
They were our leaders, our representa-
tives. We loved them in their lives,
and their memory is dear to us still
and will ever be. We are particeps
criminis with them. With them we
suffered, and their morality ,their patri-
otism, their sense Of honor and their re-
ligion and piety are good and exalted
enough for u.s.

Trained Fire Horses.

II is wonderful to what extent frs
horses can be trained. No doubt they
are all trained, but as q reporter of the
REPUBLICAN on Tuesday morning saw
only the movements OF the Washington
Steam Fire Company's horses, 1t Is only
of them he can speak. The horses are
beauties, though not matches, one being
an iron gray and the other q jet black,
and both 40 sleek and fat that their hair
looked as II 1t was polished. One of these
horses 10 pamed " Frank" and the other
" John" and each of them knows his
name as well as Mr.. Joseph Green, the
capable and accomplished driver, knows
his name.
Mr.. Green says that he has often brought
the horses out OF their stalls and attached
them to the engine in 13 seconds. When
an alarm of fire is struck, Mr.. Green
flies to little handle attached to cord
and pulls it. This cord pulls q spring,
which lets heavy weight drop, and this
weight in turn moves several other
springs that throw open the stall doors
and unhitches the horses, who spring for
W ard and place themselves one on each
side OF the tongue of the wagon to be
hitched up. To fasten the breast chain
and traces IL but he,work of u second.
When Mr.. Green mounts the box he is on
his way out of the engine house, and
away to the fire in less than n seconds
with nobody to help him. When the
alarm strikes, the horses know that they
are needed, and they prepare themselves
to jump out to their places at the tongue
as soon as the doors fly open. They
stand In their stalls with their harness ON
their backs, but 1t is eascd up by a pully
in the ceiling.
When the alarm strikes and the doors
open, the harness drops into place on the
horses backs. These horses are great
pets with the firemen, who talk to them
i as If they were talking 10 children, and
Frank" and John" often talk back
by knowing Whitney, as If they knew
all that was said to them.
