liberal share OF tho public trade.
On Tuesday night about l o'clock the
bedding in All upstairs room Of Mr.. j. +.
Wilson's residence, in this city, caught
fire. Fortunately member of the fami-
ly had not retired for the night, and the
alarm was promptly given. Before
many persons reached the soene, tho bod
ding had been thrown out doors and the
flames subdued. The wind was blowing
furiously at the time, and II the fire had
got under headway It would have been
impossible to have saved anything within
it's reach.
A certain young man in the oity called
on his favorite girl few nights since.
He had not been long in the parlor before
the young lady's little brother came in
and climbed upon his lap. The young
lady spoke to the little fellow, and told
him he was too big and heavy to set on
Mr.. -'slap, mo ain't," retorted the
little fellow; II saw you sitting on his
lap the other night, and I'm not near as
big and heavy as you are" The little
fellow was Immediately hustled off to
bod, with instructions to his ma to give
him logging.

Not Such a Transitory Boom.

Clearly In the judgment OF muny Of our es-
teemed contemporaries. the FLOWER boom
IL regarded as nothing more than garden
plant which is fit to bloom only In peculiar
spots, and needing special cultivation. It is
not thought to be of that hardy and indepen-
dent species whose seed could DO suwn
broadcast and luxurious and widespread
crop expected thereirom. Hear the Phila-
delphia Press:
1T became clear many days aRo that the FLOWER
boom was only pansy blossom"
And, In the same vein. Democratic journal:
There is . little boom that cometh up ~ FLOWER
and is cut down"
Yet We must confess that both Of these
journals, as we'll as all others OF the snnle
conviction, altogether outstrlp us by their
penetration into the interior status Of tho
FLOWER boom. Mr.. FLOWER was long ago
mentioned rs an honorable aspirant tor the
Office OF President 1t has been understood
that there has always been, since then, more
or less activity toward making him tho NOM
inee OF tho Democratic party But, despite
the fact that such movement has been in
operation for q considerable period, 1t ia
stronger, to our mind, and more jubilant
now than it has been at any time pre-
vious There is Just as much carnestness
as ever In his behalf In the State of New
York, and the journals In other and distant
States which have come to look on his
pretensions with favor are decidedly in
creased In number.
It may suit our contemporaries to liken
the FLOWER boom to the ephemeral products
Of the garden. even to those that often can
not be safely left out over night, but the
only plausible reason for doing 80 is tho fact
that his name is FLOWER. Their humor is
not justified by the facts.

are, OF course, provided for. Next TO the
cutting Of tho now water bed. the most i'm
portant feature Of tho WILLIAMS plan 10
the arrangement for dock accommodation
at Manchester. There will b one
large dock and four branch docks,
which together will give four linear miles OF
quay space. The estimated outlay for tho
whole undertaking Is S25, s0o, 900. or less than
q million moro than the sum which on Fri
day WAS 20 promptly forthcoming. It will
behoovo the business mon Of Lancashire to
$40 to Il that the cost OF the canal and an
clllary works docs not greatly exceed tho esti-
mates, lest tho interest on the amount In.
vested shall involve the exactton Of dues not
much lighter than the charges against which
they are now revolving.
It will DO dark day for Liverpool when
vessels clear from New York and Calcutta
for the new port Of Manchester. But the
people OF the former city had timely warn
Ing. and they might easily. by compelling .
marked reduction In railway charges and
dock dues, have nipped the canal scheme In
the bud. 1t is now too late to prevent the
construction OF the now waterway, which is
certain to absorb tho major part OF tho trade
Of Lancashire.

Immortality.

The Concord School Of Philosophy will
hold Its sixth annual session In July, and
out OF the fortnight which Is to be devoted to
lectures and conversations. two days are
ret apart for tho discu Sslon OF tho i'm
mortality of the soul. Dr.. ANDREW z. PEA
BODY Of Cambridge will begin tho debate
and Mr.. JOHN FIsKE, DR.. ROBERT A. HoL-
LAND, and Prof. W. I. HARRIS will continue it.
The theme is the most interesting and per-
haps the most molnontous that philosophers
have to deal with, and yet philosophy has
never uttered a conclusive word about it,.
Immortality Is just as much an unsolvcd
problem now rs it was when PLATO and
SOCRATES pondered Its mysteries. Ii the
Concord philosophers eau shod any light
upon 1t, they will perform n memorable SER
vice for mankind; but no ono can expect thnt
thoy will do more than rspeat In their own
fashion the old ideas aud the old arguments.
They will probably leave it Just rs much In.
volvcd In doubt as other philosophers left 1t
fve thousand years ago.
Religion atflrms, us with the voice OF
Heaven, that man Is immortal, and all the
reasonings Of philosophy have never yet
added the value " an atoms weight to this
dogmatic affirmation. w.

Bad Advice to Mr.. Lincoln.

Two things are generally taken for granted
In the current discussion Of Presidential
candidates. One Is that Secretary LINCOLN
can have the nomination for vice-President
II he wants 1t, provided that some other
State than Illinois supplies the first name on
the Republican ticket.
The second assumption Is that II Mr.. LIN
COLIN should consent to run for Vice-Presi-
dent he would be making serious mistake.
He would end his political career 10 the COM
Portable chair OF the Senate Chamber. "Wait
. while, Boz" Is the burden Of tho advice
literally bestowed upon tho Secretary Of
War. "Wait while. and we will put you
into tho White House."
This Is worry bad advice. II Mr. LINCOLN
10 tho sensible man We believe him to be. he
will regard with suspicion any counsel
based on the theory that there can be an
inherited title to the Presidency II he ever
gets to be President, 1t will not DO because bis
fathers name was ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
We are not quite sure, either, that the ad-
vioe to Mr. LINCOLN Is disinterested.
The office Of Vice-President is worthy Of
the ambition Of any citizen Of tho United
States. Mr.. ROBERT T. LINCOLN included.

What We're Mr.. Edmunds's Reasons :

On the last occasion when tho bill to put
Gen. GRANT on the retired list Of The army
WAS introduced into tho Senate. there was no
debate on it. Senator EDMUNDs presented
1t for consideration. with the remark that lie
did 1t for reasons that could easily be under
stt,od OF that time.
Yet. after the collapse OF GRANT l. WARD,
Con. GRANT, the senior member Of the firm.
remained In receipt Of fifteen thousand dol
lnrs year from tho fund collected for his
benefit by Mr.. GEORGE JONES In 1880.
We have seen various reasons Expressed In
different quarters why Gen. GRANT should ut
this time especially be considered fit SUBJ
iect for the retired list, Perhaps some OF
them have agreed with the ideas Of Senator
EpMuNDs, when he introduced the bill and
said next to nothing.
But now that the House Of Representatives
has to act on the question. it. would be
we'll that the reasons for passing 1t enter
tanned by Senator EpMUNDs should be stated.
in order that the public may know and un-
derstand them.
Did Mr.. EDMuNDs wish TO give Gen.
GRANT the pay OF General particularly
because his three sons had lost their
fortunes through tho same failure. ana
the paternal purse would In consequence DO
put to greater strain?
Or has GRANT special claims on tho ma
tionnl Treasury ut this time In order that no
may be better enabled to pay his indebted
ness arising from tho swindling operations
Of his firm? II that Ia SO q great deal OF
money would be required. The losses OF the
firm amount to more than fourteen millions.
Some further explanation 10 clearly neces-
sary before the supporters Of the bill under
take to carry 1t through the House Of Repro
aentatiyes

Public Buildings Plumber.

Ono Of the principal items OF business
transacted by the Senate during the past
week has been another distribution OF
Treasury funds under the form Of sppropria-
tons for public buildings.
The subject was introduced by Mr. PALMER
OF Michigan, who asked, rs a matter OF
courtesy that his brother Senators would
pass bill appropriating . million and n half
additional to a building already begun in
Detroit, for which, he explained, the appro-
priation made two years ago had proved too
small. MI. JOHN SHERMAN OF Ohio promptly
remarked that this was q sort Of Legislation
tn which he was most reluctant to object, but
he suggested that 1t would be fairer for all
concerned, and more likely to produce
good results, to take up all the public
buildings bills On the calendar. This distinct
proposition for q renewal oi the loHrolling
device by which such bills are usually passed
was greeted by u tacit understanding that 1t
should be carried out on the following day;
and meanwhile, without explanation OF why
the former Detroit appropriation proved too
small, $500. 200 was added to 1t. Tho next day,
accordingly, there was q general grab for
the spois, tho calendar being emptiod and
about Sl.AoO,OOO voted away. Thirteen bills
were passed Jacksonville, Ashoville, Sara
toga, and other places secured prompt attcn-
ton. Mr.. John SHERMAN looked after tho
appropriations for Dayton and Springfield,
in Ohio, which aggregate quarter of a mil
lion; but Portland, Oregon, which wanted
half u Million In m exceptional outbust of
economy received onlya quarter OF million
The total appropriation for tho two days
was about 81. 3000 900. This cleared tho calen-
dar for the moment. but the Public Build.
ings Committee are doubtless already busy
in preparing another batch Of bills for 1t.
About nifty such bills, we believe have
thus far been passed In tho Senate or the
House. or In both branches. They include
appropriations Tor Waco. Oshkosh, Ln Crosse
Winona, Pueblo. Ashevillc. Fort Smith. and
Fort Scott. In the last Congress over severn
teon millions were asked for this purpose
and the present Congress has shown itself NO
favorable to those appeals that quite as
large sum will no doubt be demanded OF 1t.
Tho true rule In the matter Is perfectly
obvious. A. Secretary FoLaER has said, the
needs Of the Government at any place should
determins the expectancy OF erecting build
ing there. II Ia simply matter Of business.
