The citizens of Russell, Ky., are making strenuous exertions to prevent the fire from the surrounding woods from burning their town. The woods for 30 miles are on fire. A great deal of damage is being done. Bishop Cummins preached at St John's N. B,, Sunday, and administered the communion to the members of the new church organized there.

His dead body was found half an hour later. Reports from the line of the Pan Handle and (J. O. railroads state that the forests are on fire at various points from Wheeling to Parkersburg. Along the line of the river the woods are also on fire at a number of points. Dense smoke overhangs that section of country. •St. Joe, a small oil town in Butler county, Pa , was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. Twenty-five dwellings, two drug stores and several livery stables were consumed.^ The fire originated in a defective Hue. No estimate of the loss can be formed at present.

At the house of the arrested persons were found an umbrella, a revolver, and a quantity of stamps, which Bryant identified as his property, and taken at the time the gold was stolen. ffhere was considerable excitement yesterday in Norwich, Ohio, in consequence of the discharge of a number of employes from our railroad shops, including the master me- , chanic and the foreman of the various departments. Suspicions had existed for some timer that all was not right, and the company employed detectives to ferret out the mischief, which resulted in the discharge of most of the heads of departments together with ten or a dozen of the machinists. On Saturday night a bloody murder was committed on Tenth street, St Paul, Minnesota. Joseph Lick and wife, returning home about half-past ten, were set upon by George Lauchtenschlager and George Rapp, and Mrs. Lick was brutally murdered on the spot Tbe instrument used was a hatchet, which was afterwards found. She was terribly nintilated. Mrs. Rapp and her husband then set upon Mr. Lick, the woman with a knife and the man with a tinner’s soldering iron. He was left for dead, bat recovered, and may get weff. The assailants were all held for murder by the coroner s jury.

The opinion that that part of Egypt had been partially civilized by the influence ot railroads and free schools, seems to have been erroneous. After the 1st of January, when newspaper publishers have to pay postage at the rate of two cents per pound, the price of the Chicago Inter-Ocean will probably be ten cents a copy, five cents for the paper and five cents for postage. The Louisiana election passed off very quietly yesterday, and the vote is thought to lie a,close one. The Conservatives have gained largely in New Orleans and to some extent throughout the State. The result can not be definitely known for a few days. Tug Journal thinks Medal's purchase of the Chicago Tribune means the candidacy of Washburne for President. It will be a long time before a President is nominated, and Mr. Washburne’s chances may have become exceedingly minute by that time. As we said the other day, he is an inflationist, the wildness of whose theories are only excelled by Buchanan’s, and the next President of these United States will be a hard money man. The Republicans have only to nominate'such a man as Washburne to get' themselves terribly beaten, provided always that the Democrats have sense enough to improve the opportunity and nominate a man who can be trusted.
Thk Council last night voted $1,$00 to pay John Whitsit for the expense he incurred in beginning the Virginia avenue viaduct, which was stopped by a perpetual injunction. That viaduct scheme was a job put through the Council and illegally awarded and if the Council had been as anxious to save the public money as it is in cases where it tries to get property without paying for it, it would have let Mr. Whitsit sue for his money. The city attorney’s time could have been spent very profitably in contesting such a suit, and it would have been time enough to vote the money when Mr. Whitsitt got a judgment, which we don’t think he would have got. If the four-cent organ is speaking for Mr. McDonald by authority, he i& trying to make his financial utterances “consist” with the Democratic platform. This he can not do, and we trust the organ is piping entirely on its own account. Mr. McDonald’s position was a good one. taken in a manly way, and he can not improve his chances by changing it. The men who would object to him on account of his views upon finances, will not lie satisfied with anything Ifess than Voorhecs, and Mr. McDonald can not get their support in a caucus, under any circumstances. We have every reason to believe that they will be in the minority, and that his services, his ability and his opinions will be considered by the majority, such as entitle him to the Senatorship. There is nothing to be gained, however, by trimming or shuffling. The game is made and all that remains is to play it out If Mr. McDonald has the trumps he seems to have he will win, but he won’t do it by trying to steal Voorhees’s jack. The Council last night showed the white feather in a remarkable manner. For two or three years it has been clamoring about opening streets through North Me ridian street. The residents naturally objected because the streets and alleys woilld cut up their property, for which they would receive no renumeration, or at least not as much as they deemed just. The city happens to possess a body known as the Board of City Commissioners, whose duty it is to appraise property required for public purposes and to assess the damages to certain owners and the benefits to others. Now it is a cardinal principle with this Board as constituted at present, fully carried out in practice if not avowed, that any improvements or changes made are not to cost the city anything. The City Commissioners are both public spirited and economical and when called upon to adjudicate in any case, they usually find that if A is damaged to a certain amount B luckily is benefitted to just that amount. So the account is balanced and the city gets its street or alley for nothing. But strange to say some of the people don’t like this method of doing business and among others is Judge Martin dale. As everybody knows the Judge is the owner of very handsome grounds on North Meridian street which have been improved at great expense of time and money. Councilman Damall insisted upon opening a street through the Judge’s property, and the Council sustained him and ordered it to be done. The Commissioners sat and awarded certain damages and fixed certain benefits, bat the Judge, not satisfied with what was offered him for the cutting up of his property, brought suit in the' Superior Court and got judgment for ten thousfuid dollars.

The Journal, in a short notice of Sidney Smith, (by the way he always spelled it “Sydney”), the great English humorist and reviewer, says the investment in .State stocks which he made in this country and the failure of which afterwards provoked his savage yet funny attack on our national credit, was one of the Mississippi swindles. The error is of no great consequence, but Pennsylvania was the State of his maledictions, or rather would have been if he hadn't extended the fraud, as he felt it, to the whole land instead of the guilty State. His memorial to Congress asking payment of his Pennsylvania claim excited a vast deal of feeling, both in attack and defense. He did not understand, as few Englishmen did at that time, and many do not now, that the State governments have been ^s independent of the Federal Government in their domestic affairs as the private household of a partner is of the partnership, and a partner having cheated him, he naturally enough, in his ignorance, writes to the national firm for compensation. The occasion drew out, especially from the friends of the administration, who were generally ill-informed in literature, a great deal of staff as ignorant as Smith’s and far less excusable, and this was retorted by several warm defences, not of his blunder, of course, but of his character and position, by men like Prescott and Richard II. Dana. The close of the controversy he announced himself in the following characteristic language: “And now having sold my stock at forty per cent, discount, I. sulkily retire from the contest” It must be remembered, in estimating this action of the reverend wit, that he was always a warm friend of the United States, and told Jeffrey that if “the Edinburgh Review assailed them he should not write for it.” Even in that article in which he asks the*now memorable question, “Who reads an American book?” hesjieaks kindly, far more so than any other Englishman of his day, of. our country and people, and this with the battle of New Orleans but five years old, and the capture of the Guerriere but little older. He published three or four articles on America in the Edinburgh Review, and in all was friendly if not eulogistic. Ih one of these occurs that often Quoted passage on taxes, sometimes attributed to Brougham. Smith was almost the especial friend and champion of this country in England, at a time when we had still fewer than in 1861, when an Englishman despised an American of course, and Basil Hall and Capt. Marryatt and Mrs. Trollope lied about us with a facility that showed how little they cared for the contempt of the nation they scandalized. A nation owes something to those of other nations who were its friends when friends were scarce and not always courageous like Smith to say the good word he thought. He assailed us afterwards because he was cheated and did not understand the relations of State and national
governments.
EliltlUS OF THE Ji.VLhOT HOX. The ballot box, as filled in this incomparable land of liberty and universal intelligence, is as full of freaks as a school on a holiday. It is true John Pierrepont says, “it executes the freeman’s will as lightning does the will of God,” but poetry was never remarkable for accuracy of political statement or logical deduction, and we are not disposed to accept rhyme for reason. The ballot does not “execute the freeman’s will” with any very striking directness, when good jnen are so sure of being overborne by fraud that they won’t vote; when street forces and special policemen are quadrupled and hired voters brought to the polls by regiments, and when men who have no right to vote at all vote at every precinct in a city and ballance the honest ballots of twenty men. If the freeman gets any expression of his will in such a case, it would be a delight fnl solution of one of the woist puzzles we know of to be told how. Verily thbre are few “fantastic tricks” operating on the lachrymal glands of the seraphic host with more vigor than those of the contrivance which honest men once hoped was to be an absolute security against official abuse, ignorant pretension, or ambitious baseness. What would start Uriel to snuffling and boring his fists into his eyes so soon as the ballot box of Oxford, Kansas, in 1858 out of which came a Democratic majority of six hundred where there were but thirteen people, women and children included, in the place. The 6th Ward of New York has frequently turned a larger majority for Tammany than the whole voting population See what a trick would have been played in Baltimore at the recent election,if some meddling tear-stopping noodle hadn’t exposed it. He sent postal cards to all the names registered in a certain precinct The postmen found that many were dead, many gone, and some that had never lived or been
ate afterward. He tells the following sto-
ry of one vote:
In 1830, Dan Stone, of Cincinnati, was a candidate for the State Legislature. Walking up Main street on the morning of the election, he overtook an acquaintance going to the polls, who intended to vote the opposition ticket. Stone solicited his vote. ‘‘We are old friends,” said he, “and I know yon will show a friend that mark of kindne'ss.” Party spirit was then comparatively qniet. The voter replied: “Well, Dan, you area pretty clever fellow. I don’t care if I do.” That vote elected Stone, and gave a majority of one In the Legislature which made Thomas Ewing United States Senator. Mr. Ewing’s vote on the question of confirming the appointment of Martin Van Buren as Minister Plenipotentiary to Great Britain enabled the Vice President to give the casting vote against him, and called Mr. Van Buren home. That recall made Mr. Van Buren first, Vice President, and then President, and determined the general po'.itical policy of the country for four years. One vote elected an officer in one of our northern counties at the*last election, and one vote would have prevented a second election in Knox county. One vote sent Hannegan to the National Senate in place of Oliver H. Smith, who was, morally and intellectually, worth as many of him as could be crowded into the Senate chamber. One vote would have defeated Jesse I). Bright’s postponement of the Senatorial election in 1844, and possibly have saved the State the shame of tbe long era of party unscrupulousness and corruption, ending in the swamp land theft and Stover’s forgery, which followed upon this first open debauchery of party sentiment and sense of honor, and its success in electing Mr. Bright. The want of that vote was a worse misfortune to Indiana politics than the want of Roland’s horse at Roncezvattes. If we could get together all the queer freaks of that “palladium” and so forth of “American liberty,” it would be better than ten lectures on the “doctrine of chances,” and such exhibitions as that made by it some days ago in this city would, duly enlarged upon, be better than a continent full of campaign documents to prevent another such open* prostitution of public duties to the employment of fraudulent votes.
Out of tbe Window.
Out of the window she leaned and laughed, A girl’s laugh, Idle, and foolish, and sweet— Foolish and idle, itdroppe<L like a call.
Into the crowded, noisy week Up he glanced at the glancing face,
who had, caught the laugh -as it fluttered and

And eye to eye for a moment there They held each other as if by a spell.

And through and ihrough its clamorous hours That itrade his clamorous busy day, A girl’s laugh, idle, and foolish, and sweet. Into every bargain found its way. And through and through the crowd of the

' . BY WALT WHITMAN.
The following poem was recited personally by the author Saturday afternoon, October 31. at the inauguration of the fine new Cooper Public School,
Camden, New Jersey:
An old man’s thought of school; - Au old man, gathering youthful memories and blooms that youth itself can not.
Now. only do I know you!
Ofair auroral skies! O morning dew upon the
grass!
And these I see—these sparkling eyes,
These stories of mystic meaning—these young fiuiiding^ eqyippiHg, like a fleet of ships-immor-
Soon to sail out over the measureless seas
On the soul’s voyage.
Only & lot of boys and girls?
Only the tiresome spelling, writing, ciphering
classes ?
Only a public school?
Ah morfe—infinitely more; (As George Fox rais’d his warning cry, “Is it this pile of brick and mortar—these dead floors, windows, aisles—you call the church? Why, this is not the church at all—the church is living, ever-living souls.”)
And yon, America,
Cast you the real reckoning for your present? The lights and shadows for yoor future—good
or evil ?
This Union multiform, with all its dazzling hopes
and terrible fears?
Look deeper, nearer, earlier far—provide ahead
counsel in time,
Not to your verdicts of election days—not to your
voters look.
To girlhood boyhood look—the teacher and the
school.

Some time ago a Parisian manager, not so rich as they are here, borrowed a twenty franc piece of a Bohemian, and the Bohemian has lived on the cafe men ever since on the tradition that “a manager had accepted a piece from him.” At Neuilly, in the suburbs of Paris, there is a harem, which the police have inquired into and—left alone.

Dr. Hilgendorf, a German, now in Japan has found in his studies of Japanese crania, that the cheek-bone, instead of being a single structure, is frequently divided by a suture into two distinct elements.
