Mr.. WILLIAM CALDWELL Of Quincy,
Mass, the former steward Of our engine,
which came from that place, was in town
last week, showing the men about managing
the machine. The engine is named "The
Vulture, No. A. retaining the name and
number which she was known by at Quincy.
The Vuture, being out OF commission, had
been inactive for thirteen months until
Thanksgiving, when she was played a few
moments to see everything in working order
before being shipped here. Last Wednesday,
December "a, the men took her out for
trial, Mr.. Caldwell wishing to see every
thing all right before returning home. The
engine was placed at the Maple avenue
bridge and played through two hundred fifty
feet of hose. She threw stream estimated
certainly one hundred feet high, and solid
stream sixty feet, or as high as the hotel
rdge-pole. The men on the brakes were in
experienced, it was cold and violent snow
storm in progress, making it bad day for a
trial trip" The hose was filled with an
Choir ice, being put up just as they were
tried at Quincy. 1t was surprise to many
of the spectators and pleasure to the men
to find their engine competent to do such
good work with the odds against her. They
feel that with the proper drill our engine
company may be made as effective as any in
the state. The engine, with our hook and
ladder truck, and a suitable house in which
TO keep them, will make an excellent fire
department. The foreman of The Vulture

LAW AND ORDER.

Mr. c. B. Lewis, the noted De
troit Free Press writer, who is now
making tour of the Northern States,
has the following remarks in a re-
cent letter in relation to law and
order in the South. These words,
coming as they do from an old
Federal soldier, and a man who has
investigated and knows of what he
writes, should have considerable
weight with the Southern mind in
removing traces of prejudices that
still linger: GA portion of the Nor
thern press so studiously misrepre-
sents the South in the matter of law
and order that people are prevented
by their fears from crossing the
Ohio River. 1t is true that the
South has its murders, but take the
country State by State, and the
North has three to one. 1t is true a
negro is raided now and then, but
if the same man lived in the North
he would probably be lynched in
stead of whipped. There are more
burglars, thieves and bad men ar
rested in Detroit, Cleveland and
Buffalo in one day than in the whole
territory CT Georgia or Alabama.
You may spend monts South and
not hear a quarrel or see a drunken
man; you may visit half dozen
! iails and not find an average Of two
white criminals to each. The life
and prosperity to a Iaw-abiding man
are as safe in any portion of Georgia
or Alabama as in the District Of
Columbia, and the standard Of NOR
atty far higher There is more
real neighborly feeling in the South
to-day for a Northern immigrant
than he can find in the West. He
is sized up for what he is, and if he
is the man to tie to the men who
fought him in war will will fight for
him in peace"

Miss Emily Faithful, who returns

Miss Emily Faithful, who returns
to England this week aftera success
full lecture tour in this country,
visited, while in California, woman
who is earning her living in a re-
markedly pleasant and sensible fash
ion. Miss Austin, five years ago,
was school teacher in San Fran
cisco. Tired of that drudgery, she
bought near Fresno a hundred acre
lot, which she has since managed as
''raisin farm" with the aid of
spinster friend and four industrious
Cinnamon. 'Inside the house." says
Miss Faithful in letter to the Lon
don Lady's Pictorial, "was an open
piano. About the table was strew-
ed the latest books and magazines,
showing that rasin-growing had not
dulled the fair proprietor's interest
in the intellectual side of life. Miss
Austin has planted peach, apricot,
nectarine, and a few almond trees,
but the greater part of her land is
devoted to vines for rasin-making.
These are of the sweetest MuscaJ
variety. TheI process of raisin-making
is very simple. The punches of grapes
are cut from the vines and laid down
in trays in the open air for about a
fortnight, being duly turned at in
tervals. Then they are removed to
the barn, known as the sweating
house. where they remain till all
the moisture is extracted. They are
pressed and put into boxes, and sent
off to market or shipped to England.
AS had already been given in San
Francisco a box of Miss Austin's
raisins, 'as the best produced in the
State my interest in seeing this
clever lady who had taken so new a
departure in female industry can be
understood. -Four years hence it is
estimated that MISS Austin's proper
ty will be worth at least 10000.

NETTING THE NEGROES.

Louisiana politics, with it's mixed
population, is always and naturally
turbulent, and much innocent blood
has been spilled without cause. The
Republicans of that state are now,
when their state ticket has failed to
arouse any enthusiasm, and which
will be completely overwhelmed in
the election, with Pinchback at their
head, are again organizing the ne
groes, encouraging them with the in
formation that they have white al
lies, and with the assistance and pro-
lection of these allies they can hope
for victory and can renew again
their clustering and their threats.
In discussing the situation in New
Orleans, where young man lost his
life on Friday night last, the Times
Democrat says: "The greatest evil
that can threaten the Southland we
express the sentiments. of every
Southern statesman-is the reorgan-
ization of the negroes in politics;
the distribution of money and whis-
ky among them for political purpos-
es cost Louisiana and New Orleans
too much in the past for it to be al
lowed or tolerated again.
"This money given so literally to
organize negro clubs, this free whis-
KY donated to arouse negro enthusi-
asm; this talk of political bloodshed
and OF riots on election day, should
not be permitted. Pinchback and
Merchant must stop these riotous
proceedings on the part of their fol-
lowers, this turbulence which has al
ready cost one life; and we call up
on the Parish Democracy to exert
itself to control its eolored allies and
prevent any more disorders like that
of Friday night. There is no rea-
son why this election should not be
quiet, peaceable and orderly; there
is no reason why it should not be
conducted without bloodshed. All
the good people of'this city insist on
this, and must do all in their power
to prevent it, must frown down and
denounce any attempt to organize,

"Prawns are handsomer. A shrimp to
some people looks like an Objectionable

down there are alive with them. Two

The telegraph and better local newspapers

"a Calamity sIr.''

On an incoming Vandalia train was
a family of fve-a fat, good-natured
man, his wife, a pretty but nervous
lady, and gracious knows, twas enough
TO make her nervous, the trouble she
had with their three children. The
eldest, a boy of six, mashed his hand by
pulling a window down on it. A little
later, the th~ree-year- old, at a sudden
jerk of the train, turned a somersault,
bruising and gashing his head. Then
the hal~f-year-old baby upset the alcho-
hol lamp from the window sill, which
frightened the mother nearly into hys-
terics, which was a signal for all the
children to set up in chorus. But during
the next five minutes, when that half
distracted woman was trying to stop
the music, that fat man, from the seat
back of her, looked on with never an
effort-he was really charming in his
~complacency. When quiet reigned again
the wife said with a sigh:
