At about twelve o'clock at night the occupants of the Fifth Avenue Hotel New York city were alarmedsb the cry Of fire, and the greatest consternatlon ensued when it was discovered that it had actually broken out in that stately and much-frequented building. Smoke was tirstaseen issuing from the upper story on the southern side, and three fre-alarms having been sounded the engines were speedily on the spot. The conspicuous ness ot the building and its central posi- tion soon caused large crowd to be drawn together in spite of the compara- tive lateness of the hour and the pervad- ing cold. Although the wind was not SC fierce as at an earlier period of the even- ing, there was enough of it to cause great apprehension that the fire would spread rapidly; but by the active exertions oi the firemen and the copious streams oi water poured upon the burning portion of the building it became soon evident that the flames were under control, and within twenty minutes from the com. menoement they were SO far subdued that no fears were entertained respecting saving the structure itself, much less that l the fire would extend beyond it. The height of that portion of the building ir which the fire originated added consider. ably to the labors of the firemen in theil heroic exertion to save whoever might be | endangered in the burning structure, and everywhere were to be met half-frantit women and children running about ir every direction in the bewilderment 1T which many had been aroused from theil sleep. Many an act of manly daring or the part of the firemen was rewarded bJ the success of saving human life, but when the fire had been completely sub dued and all thoughts of danger past among the inmates, shocking spectacle met the gaze of those who were stil searching in the dense smoke of the ruins for those who might be still imperilled Three unfortunate servant girls, evidently paralyzed with terror when the awful ness of their position was revealed tt them, had sunk to the floor exhausted and suffocated, and their lifeless bodie! were conveyed to the Morgue. Thil occurred at about half-past one, and created great sympathy among the crow6 as the bodies of the unfortunate victims were brought from the hotel. But thil was only foretaste of horror. Soon the dreadful announcement was passed iron | lip to lip that large numbers of the board

 CTS had been found liteless in their rooms and the consternation among many who had friends in the hotel became mos intense. Ehis soon, however, proved t be incorrect, although the horror wa

 none the less real. Eighteen more bodie

 were found in the servants dormitory all perfectly lifeless and their bodies re vealing every form of horrible contortiol from the dreadful agonies in which the, perished. The excitement at the hote and the immediate ne,ghborhood, whel this fact became known, was perfeotl, fearful. and the stoutest-hearted quailet in the presence of such dreadful event These bodies were also conveyed to tn

 Morgue, where hideous spectacle tn

Fluent takers are common enough, it IS comparatively easy to utter number of sounding words, interlarded with the vile slang of the day, which is so often mistaken for wit; and probably five of every six who listen to the unmeaning jargon will pronounce the speaker to be g good conversationalist, and witty fel

 low. But thatis all nonsense, you know he's not good conversationalist, if only tor the reason that he talks too mueh. The art of conversation comprises hearing as well as being heard. You must en- courage and stimulate others to talk in response to your talk. We rarely see 8 party of more than too persons together, without one being guilty of talking too much. Swift's practice in society was 8 gook one; after having spoken he made a long pause, to give any one so inclined an opportunity to take his turn; but, as a general thing, more than two persons can not converse we'll together. A large party can but indulge in talk to enjoy conv versation in it's full sense, it is requi- site that each person participating should be conversant, to some extent at least, with the tastes of the other, For in mixed assemblies, what would be very agreeable and delightful for one, might be very lone some to another. Even Johnson, (whose talk was considered perfection for man of letters,) was not suited to general society; he was tod much occupied with literature, and could please only very scholarly minds. As for Burke and Cole ridge, who both enjoyed the reputation of being very good converse ;ionilists, they talked too much. The former was very discurslve and incessant, but he sel. dom, if ever, uttered the short, sharr things that made Johnson noted. Every one is familiar with the reply of Lamb tc Coleridge when, being asked by the lat ter whether he had ever heard him preach answered that he had never heard him dc any thing else. A man falls into grave error when he passes off continuous dis

 course for conversation he shines more brilliantly in the lecture room than in tht parlor-f possessed of more than ordin

 ary talents, of course. Otherwise the in

 oessant talker should never commit him

(From the hiddlooourne (O) Boy In Blue)


Under the recent amendment to the
Homestead Act OF 1852, soldiers of the
late war are entitled to enter and acquire
Homestead Of one hundred and sixty
acres of any ot the Government lands eI.
cept mineral lands, on certain terms hero.
tofore published in full in the Boy in Blue,
The law permits the entry to be made by
an Agent or Attorney, and the country
Is being flooded with circulars Of
agents, who, for consideration,
propose to locate and enter home
steads for soldiers unde ehis Law.
1t is well enough Tor a soldier to employ
some reliable agent to make his selection
and file his preliminary declaration for
these lands when he has fully made up
his mind and arranged his affairs to avail
himself Of the provisions of the law. But
we desire to warn all soldiers who are not
prepared to go on to the prairies inside Of
six months after such location by the at
torney, and TO remain there the full time
required by the law, that they lose all
right to the location made, and that they
cannot thereafter make at any time any
further Homestead entry, and they will
lose all benefits under the law. We ad.
wise all soldiers to avoid these Agents un.
til they are fully determined on removal

EY JEAN INGELow.
There was once nest in hollow,
Down in the moses and knot-grass pressed
Soft and warm, and full to the brim;
Vetcher leaned over it purple and dim,
With butter cup buds to follow.
I pray you hear my song of nest,
For it is not long
You shall never light in a SUMMER quest
The bushes among
Shall never light on a prouder sitter,
A fairer nestful, or ever know
A softer sound than their tender twitter,
That wind-like come and go.
I had nestfuI once of my own,
Ahl happy, happy I;
Right dearly loved them, but when they


were grown,


They spread out their wings to fly;
o, one after one, they few away,
Far up the heavenly blue,
To the better country, the upper day,
And-I wish was going too.
I pray you, what is the nest to me,
My empty nest2
And what is the shore where 1 stood to see
Ny boat sail down to the West?
Can call that home where my nest was set,
Now all its hopes have failed2
Nay, but the port where my sailor went,
And the land where my nestlings be,
There is the home where my thoughts are sent
The only home for me.

THE SEWING MACHINE is one of the
greatest improvements of the age, and at this
day and age of the world every family must
and will have one. This fact appears to be
perfectly understood by all Sewing Machine
Companies, consequently every company is
making every effort in their power to put
/ their machines forward, and to make sales as
rapidly as possible. They employ every per-
son they can get, and three-fourths of those
employed are not fit for the business, conse-
quently the country is now overrun with men
and boys representing themselves as Sewing
Machine Agents,and everyone claimingto have
the best machine, when, in fact, they know
nothing about machines, consequently the
business has become nuisance-it is over
done and overrun with unprincipled agents,
and almost every farmer breads to see one
stop at his gate.


But to lay all prejudice aside, the New VIII
son is the only First-class Machine in America
that is sold at reasonable price; price with
in the reach of every family. The New Viii
son stands to-day at the head as being the best,
the simplest, the easiest to manage, the most
durable, and by far the cheapest. The Wilson
now costs $500 more to manufacture than any
other machine in America, and is sold for
$500 less than any other irst-class machine
This simply because it is not in the ''Com-
bination." This machine is sold for just what
If is worth, while all others are sold from
S25.OO to 5000 more than they are worth.


The undersigned has been selling the VIII
son for one year at his Grocery and CrOckery
Store in Fremont, and has sold Five Hundred
Machines, and nearly all have been sold in
Sandusky County, and 1 have never yet had
an agent out soliciting sales or boring the peo-
pie to buy. Every machine has been ordered.
This, think, is the largest sale that has ever
been made in the county. This fact of itself
is certainly sufficient evidence that the m =
| chine is good one. All other companies have
drummed and bored the people nearly to
death to sell their machines, and in very many
instances people have bought simply to get nd
of the agent Now, we claim that the proper
way, and the only way, to buy machine, is to
| go town and see and try all the machines and
select for yourself buy machine in the same
way that you buy a dress, or a set of dishes,
or a dollars worth of sugar. There are now
some six OF eight different kinds of Sewing
! Machines represented in this city, try them
all, select for yourself, and do not be hum
bugged BY agents, and nine out OF every ten

We clip the following manly defense
4 Mr.. Greeley from his colleagues
Frankfort speech. Read It.


In regard, however, to the distinguish
ell statesman, Mr.. Greeley, who has been
presented for the Presidency in opposi-
ton to General Grant, have no such
hestancy in speaking. Criticism and
caricature have dealt freely with his
kindly face and honest bearing. The
very garments that he wears, innocent
perhaps of the latest fashion, but yet Of
good account with all their homeliness,
have been derided as ecccntricities. His
tastes, which flow out toward the field
and the forest in relaxation Of the over
worked brain, are held to be proofs of
strange and fitful organization. Even
his persistent adhesion to conviction in
the face of calumny, his generous SYM
pathy with the unfortunate in all lands;
his advocacy of unpopular principles; /;
his failure to profit by his politics; his
unimpeachable life, are held by some to
disqualify him for the Presidency. In
reply to all this, let me submit a few
words.


But, strange as II may seem, this is
one of the instances in which caricature
has lost its power to wound, and criti-
cism fails to work depreciation. The
people recognize one of themselves-one
who has led life of toil-one whose en-
ergies have all been devoted to their SER
vice-one who has been unswerving in
his free faith--one clear to discern the
truth, fearless to confront error, and yet
a heart tender toward misfortune as any
woman's. Abuse and ridicule will only
endear such a character more and more
to the sympathy of the nation.


But this is not ALL In the great quail
ities of intellect, in wide and extensive
knowledge, in familiarity with the work.
ings of our government, with the history
Of It's great leaders and the annals Of its
great achievements, he is the peer of any
in the land. He has been for thirty
years a close and careful student of each
successive administration at Washing
ton. He has had exclusive control of
one of the greatest organs of public
opinion this country has ever known, and
no great measure Of public policy has
ever passed that did not receive from
him impress or elucidation.


1t is said that he is changeable, and
therefore uncertain; but of all the pub
lie men we have had, his record alone
has been almost without sign of variance.
1t is said that he is no statesman; and
yet none of those who have tried conclu
sions with him in public discussion will
he found to credit it. He has put a head
ION more statesmen than would stock 9
Congress. 1t is said he is easily impos
ed upon by worthless persons, and ye
the circle of his friendships embrace
the best, the wisest, and the most cultur
ed men of the nation. But it has nev
er yet been said of him, by friend or foe
in his long life of trials and temptation
that he was not honest. His word onc'
pledged, that he will be true to it yol
may rest assured; and having given hi
promise of adhesion 10 the noble plat
form of principles that received sucl
unanimous ratification at Cincinnati an,
Baltimore, you may be very sure of hi
keeping the faith.
