LOCAL NEWS.

Fire destroyed the stave factory Of
Messrs Daugherty and Wilson, at Mound
City, last evening. It broke out in one of
the drying apartments near the smoke
stack, and when discovered il had made
considerable Roadway. Mound City has
no portable fire engine that can be used
and the only means the people there had
of fighting the flames were buckets Of wa
ter and little steam pump in Meyer II
Nordman's furniture factory, and for this
latter not enough hose was on hand to
reach the fire. In this dilemma Cairo was
appealed to and Mayor Halliday responded
promptly. The signal was given and the
Cairo fire department turned out in full
force, but the Arabs only went up by the
"cannon ball" train on the Wabash, taking
the Little Arab and two hose carts on a
fiat car One of Messrs. Halliday's tugs,
with a pump boat generally stationed at
the coal dump, also went up. When they
arrived at the fire the factory was all gone
and large heaps of slaves and lumber in the
yard we're being devoured by the flames.
The pump boat got first water on the fire
and did effective work thenceforth, The
engine found some difficulty in finding wa
ter, and soon after it got to work at one Of
the large cisterus of the furniture factory,
the nozzle broke in some way and work
had to cease. About this time the Deltas
arrived with their engine, on Especial train,
and in few hours the fire was extinguish-
ed. Nearly all the belts and the saws, and
much of the lighter machinery, were re-
moved from the burning factory and saved.
The estimated value of the factory was
$4,000. Insurance $4,000 in companies
represented by Mr.. H. H. Candee, of this
city. The institution was very import
ant one for our sister city. 1t was built
only about two years ago; employed fifty
hands within and about an equal number
out doors, getting out lumber. 1t turned
out $4,000 slaves per day, or material for
1900 complete barrels every day. Mr..
Daugherty was in this city when the fire
occurred and received the news by tele-
graph.

Fuss and Feathers but no
Logic.
From the N. Y. Evening Post, Aug. I'D.


There was no answer made to Mr..
Schurzs damaging speech at the Blaine
Brooklyn meeting last evening, but q
"beautiful floral helmet, topped with a
white floral plume" was displayed from
the stage, and WAS greeted with howls of
delight. When the presiding officer pro-
nounced the names Of Blaine and Logan,
he paused, glanced nervously to the right
and left, and then curtains were drawn
back and portraits of the candidates were
revealed, amid fresh bowls. After these
demonstration of Enthusiasm Stewart L.
Woodford came forward and said that he
had never favored Mr.. Blaines nomination,
but being good Republican and having
low opinion of the Democratic party he
should support Blaine for the Presidency.
Then Senator Hawley made a long speech
of nearly two hours duration about the Re-
publican party including five minutes
defense of Blaine, which we have treated
elsewhere. Then Judge Foraker made q
speech. When is the earnest speaking for
Blaine to beginY 1t cannot be possible
that his managers hope to elect him by this
kind of campaigning.

Preaching.

The tenth census shows, for instance,
that there are in this country a., 69S, or
in round numbers $4,000 clorgymen.
Suppose, for the sake of illustration,
that each one breaches but two sermons
week, which is perhaps rather below
than above the average, and we shall
have in the course of q single year
total Of 100000 sermons. Further,
suppose each sermon Of only thirty
minutes duration, also perhaps less
than the average length, and at the
rate Of hundred words a minute,
each sermon will have about 3,0Oo
words or twelve book pages each OF
$50 words, and all the sermons preach
ed every year will give total in print
ed matter Of 81, 10000 book pages, or
1862, 220 volumes of 500 pages each,
while If an average congregation OF
fifty listen to one sermon, total OF
$500, 900 worshipers is presented at a
single service. ST. Louis Globe Demo

Willing To Sell Him.

A Louisville physician has pet
monkey, Jocko, which always took
great delight in watching the ladies
painting and powdering their faces,
says the Times Of that city. One Sun
day after the family had gone to
church. Jocko got can Of green paint
and brush, hoped into the dressing
bureau and painted himself from head
to tail. The doctors wife, who thinks
a great deal of the pet, got a pint of
turpentine and tried to wash the paint
of. He stood the operation heroically
until the turpentine began to soak into
his hide. Then, with one wild bound
and horrible screech, he sprang
about fifteen feet in the air and struck
on the kitchen roof, over chimney tops,
along telegraph wires, down a pole
and went tearing around the block as
though pursued by cyclone. Return
ing to the house he made war upon the
doctor, for whom by the way, he hasn't
much love, and before the contest end
ed the doctors hand was badly lacer-
ated. The doctor offers $25 to anybody
who will steal the monkey.

A Giant.

Sir Devil Granville, of Cornwell, ssho
| nearly ruined his estate and sacrificed
his life for Charles T., had for a serving
man a giant. His name was Anthony
Payne, and he measured, when shoeless,
seven feet and four inches. Though
gifted with a giants strength, he did not
use it like a giant, but like a good-na-
tured fellow for nature had put a great
heart into his large body. The follow
ing anecdotes illustrate the mans kind
ly nature:
One Christmas eve, the fire languished
in the hall at Stowe. A boy with an ass
had been sent TO the woods for logs but
had loitefed IN his way.
Lady Grace Granville, the mistress.
had lost her patience, and the gigantic
Anthony went in Quest ofthe lazy lad.
Shortly after he ~re-entered the hall,
bearing on his back the ass loaded with
wood. Throwing down his burden at
the hearth-side, he shouted,
"Ass and fardel! ass and fardel for my
lady's yule!"
AS Sir Bevil rode into Stratton one day,
he heard an uproar in the inn-yard, and
told his giant to find ont its cause. In 81
few minutes Anthony came, up to his
master, with a man under each arm,
whom he had caught III the act of fight
ing.
"Here are The kittens!" said the giant
as he held them for his master to chas-
tise with his riding-whip.
After the battle OF Stamford Hill, the
giant was busy during the night, with
9th r soldiers, in burning the dead.
Trenches had been dug to hold the bod
les side by side.
The soldiers had laid nine cerpses in
one trench, and Anthony was bringing
another, tucked under his arm. All at
one the SUI posed dead man began to
plead for his life.
"Surelyyo won't bury me, Mr.. Payne,
before | am dead?"
81 tell thee, man" was the grim re-
ply, ''our trench was dug for ten, and
there's nine in it already; thou must
take thy place.
"But / bean't dead, / say exclaimed
the man, kicking, to prove his assertion.
II haven't done living vet; be m%arsyfll,
Mr.. Payne; don't we hurry a poor fellow
into the earth before his time
II wont hurry thee; thou canst die at
thy leisure
But the giants purpose was kinde 1
than his speech. He carried the sup
plant to his owls cottage, where the
nursing OF his wife brought him. into
health. The mans descendants are
among the principal inhabitants of STRAIT
ton Mt his day.
