Narrow Escape from n Disastrous Fire.
Yesterday what might have been q very
disastrous fire was discovered in the house
Of Mr.. Gilmore, next to the grocery. The
building had caught FIRE under q door frame
between two rooms, and not less than fifteen
feet from the nearest fire or flue. The only
theory that could be advanced as to the
cause of the Ere was that the mice had car.
ried matches between the partition and had
set them ON fire. Luckily there were sey.
eral buckets Of water handy and the fire
was put out before any very great damage
was done.

GINGER ALE has of late years blossomod
out into great popularity among those who
cannot reconcile to their consciences or their
stomachs the sterncr stuff of which some
drinks are made A New York dealer re-
lates that three-tourths of the so-called i'm
ported article is made in the United States
and that he has been filling and retilling for
the past seven years the bottles that contain
the foreign labels. AS with all decoctions
that become popular, ginger ale suffers much
from the adulterated stuff that is often sold
for it. One KIND is made from cheap ginger,
and is doctored with the extract of red pep.
per and other chemicals to give 1t body and
bite. The men who make it claim that red
pepper is good for the stomach, but they
never refer to the other chemicals. In the
other, instead OF using a pure extract, they
buy up wherever they can condemned and
spoiled ginger root Some of them make
their own extract from this aud reinforce it
with cayenne Others grind it up and brew
a vile ale from it, which they finish with
cayenne and glucose. The cheapn ess OF
these latter compounds make them very
tempting to dealers to sell. But man who
is fond of ginger ale must take his chances
with those who risk their happiness on bad
water and bad beer.

Launching Into Verse over the wedding
the Princess Beatrice

Launching Into Verse Over the wedding of
the Princess Beatrice.
From the New York Independent of July 10.
The Princess Beatrice was married on the
day that General Grant died. Wedding and
dying joying and grieving, fill alternate
lines In each days page Of history; and so
We carry in our right hand the chaplet we
will lay on the bier of our own great dead,
and in our left we take the bridal wreath
woven by Britain's laureate poet for Britain's
youngest princess. Our agent in London
has cablod to us the following sweet and
worthy lines:
Two suns of Love make day of human life,
Which else, with all its pains and griefs and
We're utter darkness; one the sun OF dawn,
That brightens through the mothers tender
eyes,
| The later rising sun OF spousal love.
Which from her household orbit draws the child
To move in other spheres. The mother weeps
| At that white funeral of the single life,
| Her maiden daughters marriage and her tears
| Is happy ever in leaving her. But thou.
| True daughter, whose all faithful nlial eyes
| Have seen the loneliness OF earthly thrones,
| wilt neither quit the widowed crown nor let
| This later light of love have risen In vain,
But moving through the mothers home, be
| The two that love thee lead summer life
| Swhycd by each love, and swaying to each low
| Like some conjcctufed planet In mid heaven
Between two suns, ana drawing down fror
both
The lightand genial warmth of double day.
| --TennUson.

IT is all nonsense for the telegraph people
to say that underground wires for telegraph
purposes are too costly and at the same time
impracticable. Mr.. jacques the electrician
of the Bell telephone company, has been
making some Investigations of this subject
in France and Germany, the result of which
he gives in Science. He finds that sound can
be conveyed underground a much greater
distance and much more satisfactorily in a
city than overhead. While the original cost of
the underground system is nearly double
that by means of poles, the saving in repairs
more than makes up for the difference. Mr..
jacques says 4" The yearly cost oi repairing
an overhead system, is not less than thirty
per cent of the cost of construction, and the
| line would have to be renewed once in twelve
| years. The cost of repairing an underground
| system is practically nil. The Paris tele-
| phone company, with wires extending TO
| three thousand subscribers, does not keep
any repairmen. The durability of an under
ground system, provided lead-covered cables
| are used and there is no internal cause of de.
| terioration, is at least thirty years. India
| rubber cables encased in lead will last tho
| the same length of time. Some have beer
In use by tho French government for this
length oftlne and are now in good condi
ton" And his is why the day of under
| ground wires is bolnd to come, and very
| soon. ~

Wheat and Corn Crops.

In summarizing its latest crop reports the
New York Farmers Repiew says "The
harvest of the winter wheat, now nearly
completed, furnishes no grounds for increas-
ing our estimates already given of the crop,
but rather the contrary, since from Ohio, In
diana, Illinois and Missouri come reports of
many fields not plowed up in the expectation
of a partial crop left standing, because they
would not pay for the labor Of harvesting.
Reports of injury to spring wheat from rust,
insects or other cause come from some locali-
ties, but as yet do not indicate such injury as
to appreciably affect the output of the crop,
which is rapidly approaching harvest, and
promises an average yield for the acreage
sown. Taking the cropas whole, II is in a
critical stage now, and few days Of un'
favorable weather might work great injury
to il. Corn has made a wonderful advance
since our last report 1t is in good condition
for the season of the year and affords M
ground for worry. With average weather
for the next six weeks a magnificent croI
will be realized"

The Cholera In Spain.


1t will be noticed that the cholera epi-
demic shows no signs of abatement in
Spain, the list of daily deaths crawling up
at times very nearly to 1000. The Ferran
system of incubation has been tried and
found wanting, and in some places people
are trying to keep their spirits up by sweet
music's charms. The music god travel
ing in company with death presents
: an incongruous sight, but it points
Akc' moral that sunny heart and Gay
irits are the hest foils to off2r 10 any
disease. The cholera, viewed from this
distance, seems an unimportant foreign Oc-
currence; but if it once gets foothold in
any of the big American cities, the ques-
tion will be a very serious one. Expert
ence has proved that the best means of
preventing this calamity is by exacting the
most rigid quarantine. DR.. Leale, one
of the five physicians who discussed
the subject in the August North
American Rerie,u, says on this subject:
"We who have battled with epidemic
Asiatic cholera in its most malignant form
at the homes of those affected, can testify
that absolute quarantine prevents its en-
trance, thorough disinfection eXtermi-
mates it, and proper treatment carries a
very large proportion of even the severest
cases to recovery" The fact that absolute
quarantine prevents the entrance of fatal
disease of this nature should be deeply
pondered by those entrusted with the duty
of seeing that quarantine regulations are
strictly observed.

Publishing Bad Novels.

The over-production of bad novels or
the fact that almost anything can find
publisher has never been better illustrated
than in the case Of Admiral Porter, of the
navy. Having fallen into the sere and yel-
low leaf, with little to do and less to think
of in his profession-he has simply given
up his declining years to the production
p9in the form of novels of the most un-
mitigated rubbish put into pint during re-
cent years.
And yet this dreary stuff, without an
idea between its covers, has found pub
fishers who have been willing to send it
forth with their honored imprint. In the
one case-the admiral's maiden attempt
at fiction-his so-called novel was much
longer than any recent work, and more
juiceless and stupid than any recent or
remote.
The weakness of these so.called literary
attempts may be imagined by the follow
ing estimate from the New York San,
where every work IL given careful exami-
natislA and reading, and. passed upon with
= intelligence and fairness "If blunt, un-
gracious speech be positively 1eeded to
awaken adequate compunction in the
admiral, we must tell him that the print
ing of his cheap, amorphous compositions
was a grevious waste of ink. Neither il
respect of substance or style have these
puerile effusions trace of merit TO justif,

Both roads sulrered. and tle ono with the

Both roads suffered, and the one with the
longest purse naturally conquers.
The contemplation of theabsorption of this
rival roadand of the proposed absorption of
competing roads in Pennsylvania surely
should engage the efforts of the states
of New York and Pennsylvania TO prevent
so great public and private wrong. We
do not know what power New York has to
preserve the West Shore road from being
swallowed by the Central anaconda, but
we do know that ample power exists in the
state of Pennsylvania to prevent such con
solidation of competing lines of railroad
If the Pennsylvania railroad can secur,
control of the Beech Creek and Soutl
Pennsylvania roads it can only be by TIN
corruption and infdelity of the high Off
GERS of Pennsylvania and of this we vii
not suspect them.

Shocking Taste.

General Grants sons seem to want to
bury him in New York park. His wife
probably will show better sense. There is
no propriety in turning park intoa grave
yard; but if the New Workers like it and
the Grant boys like it and the widow
yields to it, SO may it be. The rest of the
country can endure it,
Grant is likely to be lonely for many a
year in the New York park. There are
greater men than he in the state, but none
likely to leave behind them representatives
SO feeble-minded:as to want to bury them
in playground. Once upona time it was
thought that only consecrated ground
would do now it seems that some folks
consider the best place to be the least sa-
cred and the most public. 1t does not
matter where the body is laid away, it is
true but it is wrench of the sensibilities
TO bury away from the churchyard or ceme-
terry.

The President Didn't Fish on sunday.

Inasmuch as many letters are pouring into
the White House containing clippings from
religious newspapers censuring the president
and his party for having gone fishing while
at Woodmont recently, it seems proper to
say that the charge is absolutely without
foundation. The laws of Maryland and Vir-
ginia and the regulations of the Woodmont
club forbid fishing on Sunday. Even if the
president had not the strong respect for the
Sabbath which he entertains, he might be
expected to respect the laws and the rules of
