Ayres Co., that caused damage to the building
Of $1,000, and to the stock contained in it OF
about $4,000. The fire. when it first started.
caused considerable alarm in the neighborhood
owing to the danger Of the oil spreading; but
upon the sounding of the second ALARM
which the 1remen answered promptly all
fears OF outside danger were allayed. Shortly after
the flames burst through the windows Of the build

but when it was ascertained the Oil works were
weIl removed from any dwellings the people re-
turned quietly to bed The nre is supposed to have
been caused bya leak in the tank, but the Fire
Marshal will hold an investigation into the matter
this morning. This same factory has been
on fire already on two 0ccasi0ns, and the
business is looked upon as being particularly
dangerous one. Considerable Interruption 70

A visitor at one Of our Sunday
Schools, short time ago, perceived
a little boy, covered with a perspira-
ton Of buttons, singing 81 want to be
an angel" with such vigor and earn
estness that he grew red in the face.
Watching fer that boy to emerge from
portals Of the sanctuary, the visitor
called him aside. He told the boy
that he had observed with what ap-
parently heartfelt enthusiasm the
scholar bad screamed cut his anxiety
to become an angel. The visitor told
the boy that he would give him hall
dollar il he would say honestly II be
wanted to be an angel, and, II not,
what he would ike 70 be. The sehol-
ar looked solemn for a moment,
clutched his half dollar, so as to be
certain of that anyhow, and said he
believed he would like nothing better
than to be captain Of canal boat. It
seems to US wrong to compel these
ambitious children TO tell fibs while
they are singing in Sunday School.

Very early in search of some game on
an estate where the game laws were
strictly enforced. Turning a sharp

gentleman who owned the estate.
Paddy seeing the game was up, cool

"The top Of the morning to your

out so early this morning?


The gentleman replied by saying,


Indeed, Paddy, I just strolled out

most degraded felons, where he was de-
tanned until friends took measures to bail
him out. He must now await the action
of the grand jury ON charge of misde-
meanor. A law under which such out
RACES can be committed is certainly very
wrong As there were number of ar
rests made, perhaps many were of the
same character.


Another instance: A friend of mine,
after going through the tiresome hour Of
getting TO the polls, had his vote rejected,
because the Inspector thought the ticket
not of standard width-that is, A inches.
The ballot in every other respect was
en- regle, and was procured at one of the
newspaper Offices where thousands of
others of the same dimensions were pre-
pared. But it was no go. Mr.. Inspec-
tor was briefly clad with power, and the
vote was rejected without appeal. Upon
the most complete measurement the
ticket was found one-tenth Of an inch
under four inches-so slight an error
that the most practical eye could scarcely
detect the difference. The law allowed
an intermission OF one hour at noon, of
which the officers ayailed themselves,
and also ordered the polls closed at sun
down. So slow had the voting been,
consequent upon the cumbersome process
of hunting the names in the Great Reg
lister, questions, measuring tickets, etc.,
that when the polls closed ut night the
lines of voters were still long at most OF
the voting places; and as there were AZ
precincts, the aggregate of those shut
out was very large. have heard it esti-
mated at three thousand. This may
account for the smallness of the vote,
which is much less than cast at elections
for several years past. A hundred Gree
ley men are said to have been turned
away from one poll, while at others a
Grant majority was called ; therefore it
wonld be difficult to tell how full vote
would have affected


THE RESULT.


The majority for Grant is about 600,
which is less than was expected but
throughout the State the majority is
substantial. 1t is now ascertained that
OF our four Congressman only Coghlan,
OF the Third District, is defeated. His
Mare Island and Railroad record was too
much for an independent people to swal-
low. Luttrell is a very small potato, but
is reported to be honest and honorable.
In the Second District, Page has carried
off the honors, in spite of the terrible
warfare made by The Sacramento Union
The Oakland News was Pages strong
advocate; and as he had promised so
much for the benefit of Oakland harbor
he there got the vote that elected him.
Piper, the 'opulent hog, was easily
beaten here; though had worthy Dem
ocrat like Hager been nominated, it is
generally conceded that he would have
been elected. Houghton's success is in
part attributable to his votes on railroad
questions, and to the extreme secession
views of Kewen. The consolation the
Democrats have is, that if Greeley is so
frightfully beaten, how grandly he tri-
umphed over 0'Conor. A.

The object of the appointing powers in placing Friend" Cree in the position which has just been cleansed of Vincent Colyer, is among those which men are not supposed 10 understand. One corrupt, dishonest. bad man, calling himself Minister of God dis graces an office by flooding it with falsehood. after having plundered it of whatever it might contain, of value, and is sent in dis grace to private life, to enjoy his ill-go,ten funds; and then, the same authority which thus resented an official abuse, searches among four or five millions of persons. capa- ble of discharging the duties of the vacant office. to find a new incumbent who is the precise counterpart of the deposed scoundrel. This is precisely the case in the succession of Cree. Would it not be well to let cool common sense take the place of red hot fan aticism and disguised theft in guiding the Indian affairs of the Government. The man who is anxious to serve God will not intrigue for an office, nor will he accept one if fofered :; and they are generally the thieves and rob- bers who infest the Eastern cities and are naturally too craven -soulsd to ply their call ing on the streets and highways, that clothe themselves in the garb of religion and plead the cause of the "poor ignorant red man." There are those in authority who have not studied human nature sufficiently to enable them to read those scoundrels, and again, there arc those who owe their elevation to jdst this class of cunning, and can therefore receive it with favor in others To this class of scoundFels belong Colycr and Cree, and so long as such men shall be tolerated in the public service so long may we look for de- falcaton, theft, misappropriation, falsehood and general rascality in whatever Department may be afflicted by their presence.

A CONTINENT COVERED WITH lCE.-
Prof. Agassiz comes to the conclusion that
the continent of North America was once
covered with ice for mile in thckD sS
thereby agreeing with Prof Hitchcock
and other eminent geological writers con-
cerning the glacial period. ln proof Of this
conclusion, he says that the slopes of the
Alleghany range of mountains are glacier
worn TO the very top, except few points
which were above the level of the icy mass
Mount Washington for instance, isover six
thousand feet hi.h. and the rough unpol-


shed surface of Its summit. cover, with
loose fragments just below the level Of
which glacier marks come to IN end, tells
that it lifted its head alone above the
desoate waste of ice ard snow


In this region. then, the thlcknes of the
ice cannot have been much less than SIX
thousand ieet, and this is in keeping with
the same kind of.evidence in other parts of
the country for when e mountains are
much below six thousand feet, the ice
seems to have passed directly over them,
while the few peaks rising to that height
are left untouched The glacier he argues,
was Gods great plough, and when the ice
vanished from the face of the land, it left
it prepared fer the husbandman.


The hard surface of the rocks were
ground to powder, the clements of be soil
were mingled in fair proportions, granite
was carried into line regions. lime was
mingled with the more arid and unproduc-
pared fit for the agricultural uses of man

regions to show that at one period The heat

The subject of Woman's Rights has
been attracting considerable attention in
the United States for the last twenty
years, and by reference TO ancient and
modern history it will be found that her
position, in different ages and nations,
has been multifarious. 1t will be found
tnat in proportion to the ignorance and
barbarism of the various nations of the
earth, from the creation of man to the
present time, in that very same ratio
has woman been made to suffer. and
in many instances has been reduced to
the very lowest degree of serVitude
possible to the most abject slavery. Iu-
stances are on record. where the man
had the full power over the life and fu-
ture destiny of the woman, as though
she were dumb brute, and the woman
had no redress before law


But on the other hand we see, as the
Bible, Civilization and Christianity have
been made known, that the condition of
woman has been ameliorated, and that
in the very same proportion has she
been elevated in direction approxima>
ting an equality with the man, or the
male part Of mankind, which, we be-
lieye, is her true status in society as de-
signed by God in the creation of the
world. We find, by reference to the
history of the creation of the world, as
found in Genesis, the first book of the
Old Testament, or Bible, that man was
the last from the hand Of the Creator
The language of the writer of the crea-
tion is as follows (" SO God created man
in his own image, in the image of God
created he him, male and female cre-
ated be them" So it will be seen from
the reading that the creation of woman
was crrequal or co extensive with that
of man, for God in giving them direc-
tions commands them to multiply and
replenish tie earth and to subduc it.
He also gave then, dominion over every
living thing over the fowl Is of the air,
the fishes of the sea, and everything
that moveth or creepeth on the face OF
the earth So In the creation of Adam
are the elements of woman, for further
on in the history we find that Eve was
taken from Adam and was to be a help
