The following simple precautions suo>
gestcd by the New York independent, if
strictly followed, would prevent a great
many destructive fires, The rules might
be posted in every store, dwelling, and
factory with good results:
/. Always buy the best quality Of oil.
2. Never make sudden motion with
lamp, either in lifting it OF setting it
down.
3. Never place a lamp on the edge Of "a
table or mantcl.
4. Never fill lamp after dark, even
if you should have to go without a
light.
). See that the lamp wicks arc always
clean and that they work freely in the
tube.
6. Never blow out lamp from the
top.
I. Never take light to a closet where
there are clothes. If necessary to 90 to
the closet, place the light at distance.
8. Use candles Just as much rs possible
in going about the house and in bedrooms
They are cheaper, can't explode, and for
very many purposes are Just as good as
lamps.
carthcn jars, or in tin.
10 They should never be left where
rats Or mice can get hold of them There
is nothing more to the taste of rat than
phosphorus. They will eat it if they can
get at it. A bunch of matches is al
most certain to be set on fire if rat gets
ut il.
II. Have good safes in every place
where matches are to be used. and never
let match be left on the floor
-. Never let match go out of your
hand after lighting it until You are sure
the fire is out, and then it is better to
put it in stove or an carthen dish,
-. 1t is far better to use the safety
matches, which can only be lighted upon
the box which contains them.
II. Have yourTurnaces examined care
fully in the fall, and AT least once during
the winter by competent person. All
Of the pipes and flucs should be carefully
looked to.
-. If there are any closets in the hous:
near chimneys or llucs, which there ought
not to be, put nothing of a combustible
nature into them.
10. Never leave any wood near a
furnace, range..or stove to dry.
II. Have your stove looked TO FIRE
quently, to see that there are no holes for
coal to drop out.
IS. Never put any hot ashes or coal in
a wooden receptacle.
10. BE sure there are no curtains OF
shades that can be blown into gaslight.
20. Never examine a gas meter after
dark.

Judge was his guest it chlnced that a
fine day for his sport presented itself
He accordingly invited the judge to ac-
company him in his piscatory sport. The
judge didn't want to 90, and tried his
best to get off, saying he would much
prefer, with his consent, to pass that
rainy day in Mr.. VS. library among his
books and papers. Mr.. w. wouldn't
listen to him, said he could pass any and
as many days in the library as he chose,
but such day rs that for fishing might
not occur again while they were at
Marshtield. The Judge, as last resort,
said that he really could not 90, as it would
spoil his clothes, that the handsome black
suit he had on was his best and all he
had, and that to go fishing in it
would spoil it, 70 meet this objection
Mr. W. directed his servant George to
90 upstairs and bring down the dress in
which he was presented at court in Eng.

appeared with it Mr.. W. said There,
Doty, is a dress for you; put it on, and
come as soon as you can, for we are
losing valuable time.
The judge replied: "Surely, Mr..
Webster. you are not in earnest in what
you say; that you want me to go fishing
in that elegant suit, and spoil itI'

what it has been brought down for.n
The Judge still fingered, when Mr.. W.,

Holland, the well.known photogra-
pher, No. 307 Market street, is one of
the most progressive men in the
business in this city, and is constantly
availing himself of every appliance
for the perfection of his art. Some
time ago he introduced the instantaDe-
GUS process, and the result can now be
seen in the greatly improved quality OF
the work he is turning out, which can
not be excelled by that of any pho
tographer in this country. For the
purpose of giving the public an oppor-
tunity of inspecting his work, he has
rented the window of Webb. the furrier
on Market street, above Third, where
he has number Of handsome pictures
on exhibition. These pictures are not
made expressly for show, bu, have
been taken from those that he has
finished for his customers, and are life
like and natural. His prices are very
reasonable, and persons wishing pic

A despatch from Carrollton, KY,
says: Dean chapel is one mile from
Worthwhile, KY, ON the Kentucky
river During the recent flood it was
about half under water. After the
waters had withdrawn pictures of Bible
eveLls began to appear on the four
walls. From corner to corner there
w.rr r. representations of familiar scenes
and personages Of sacred history. These
were clearly and beautifully outlined,
some Of them resembling steel engrav-
ings. The crucitixion covered a space
two by three feet, and was certainly
marvellous in its bold and perfect fea-
lures. Two citi-s of destruction occu-
pied the half Of one wall. Gethsemane
and the twelve apostles filled another
half. There were animals of every de-
scription and portrayal of Noah's ark.
1t would be difficult to mention any
important event related in the Holy
Scriptures that was not depicted on the
chapel walls. Visitors came from dis
taut homes to see these pictures, and by
some they are regarded as miracles.
Last Sunday, the 9th, the chapel was
used for the first time since the flood.
1t was well heated and gradually the
pictures disappeared. At noon the
walls became black and not an outline
could be traced.
There has been a revival of unusual
interest in the neighborhood of Dean
chapel--about forty conversions and
twelve specifications. Last Sunda y
morning the worshippers who came tx
join in the service and hear the Rev
Mr.. Hubert were greatly moved, and
filled the courts of God with sounding
praise The entire community il
wrought up as never before, and wide
spreads the news of what God has

POfter's Fresh Danger.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The op.
ponents of the Fitz John Porter bill are
urging the President to veto it, and they
are aided by several members of the
Cabinet, notably Secretary Teller, who
has probably more influence with Gene
raj Arthur than any other member OF
the administration. While no definite
information of the Presidents purpose
can be obtained, it is believed that he
inclines to consider the bill adversely
In this connection the position of Sec
Rotary Lincoln is significant He il
strongly opposed to the bill, believing
its passage o be % reflection upon the
memory of his murdered father.
1t was whispered some days ago that
Mr.. Lincoln contemplated resigning if
the bill should be approved. A few
days later this report was denied. The
opponents of the bill say that Mr. Lin
coin received assurances from the
President that he would veto the bill,
which enablad him to positively ,ieny
the rumor. Another story is that the
President will allow the bill to become
a law without approving it, but will
not nominate him to be Colonel in the
