THE FIRE LAST NIGHT The alarm of fire

burning Of some rags in the tape factory of C.

easily. The bells changed away enough to i'm

through the "slosh' to no purpose whatever
Now this giving of a second alarm is all wrong,
and may be avoided if the holders of keys will
bear in mind that they are TO pull the alarm 0ut
once, no matter what the circumstances. The
second alarm which calls out the entire depart
ment, causes unnecessary trouble, expense and
confusion, when used as it was last evening. If
iris found necessary to give the second alarm at

Now, look up our article again, and See wheth-
er it contains anything in conflict with your last
statement. The tenor of your "big yarn" was,
that the road was to be removed from White
Cloud. and yOu were in strong hopes that it might
be removed as far back Hiawatha. We stated
that the company intended changing the track
from Doniphan, and contemplated removing still
farther west of Troy, and were even examining
route running near Highland, striking Mill Creek,
and re-entering the present line before reaching
White Cloud-in fact, that there was no intention
of leaving White Clond. and running across the
backbone west of Highland. This assurance was
given by Maj. Firth, the very day he met with
his fatal accident. If the Company has since
come to different conclusion, we have not heard
of it. We may add, that it was not above, but be-
low Iowa Point, where that washing occurred and
that few rods of track have been removed
she.t distance in toward the bluff because of the
near encroachment of the river.


Since the above was written, We have
statement that the road will not be removed from
Doniphau; and if this he the case, there will
probably be no change in the line whatever.

No opinion could be more incorrect than
the too generally received one that horse
draws by virtue of or i'll proportion to his
weight and size. If this were the case, the
largest and heaviest animals could always
draw the most; and his weight on the scale
would be the best test of his capabilities
But facts in abundance prove it otherwise
Draught does not depend altogether upon
weight and size. 1t is in great measure
the result of vital power Although
weight can render some assistance, the
power Of draught is chiefly owing to mus
cular action and nervous energy, which,
again, are intimately connected with and
greatly dependent on the temperament of
the animal. The Jennet, mule, ass and
and blood horse, have much more ener-
Setic temperament than the carter, and
consequently possess more muscular power
than the latter, in proportion to their
weight and SIZE. Their leverage, however,
is not near so we'll suited for draught, and
IN that respect, when compared with the
ordinary cart horse, they labor under de-
cided disadvantages.

to me that the New Hampshire figures do not
show that when reinforced by the Democrats
they all together will be able to change the re-


suit but can be whipped in lump as cheaply


as the other way, and this thought pleases the
friends of Gen. Grant. The bolting Republi-

they suffer are not felt by the community The

A Baltimore correspondent of the Herald

thing of a lose manner as witness the fol-

He said no people ever behaved better
than the Southern people; they were na-
ton of horses. 1t was great comfort, be-
ing convinced himself; to convince other
people, that there was an author of their
wOes-one upon whom the responsibility
of failure rested-and he did not hesitate
to say that jefferson Davis, who was called
to be the savior, was really the author of
all the woes of the South. General John
son said he had no doubt in his own mind
that if any other person than Davis had
been elected President of the Southern
Confederacy the South would have easily
won any other person would have known
how to manage, and would have managed
the government properly. Davis never
learned what it was to be the head of ma
ton. He never comprehended that he was
to perform only his executive duties. He
was great deal buster during the whole
time of the war in attending to matters
which properly belonged to some subOrdi-
nate clerk than he was in performing the
high civil duties which deVolved upon him
as the chief of a people engaged in a strug
gle for self-government. In fact, he could
not rise to the elevated position in which
he found himself suddenly placed any

to the position of Secretary of War. He
added, las John Randolph said, the 'em-
barge was the Iliad of all our woes in the
war of 1912, so was Jefferson Davis the au-
thor of all our woes in the late war between
