It Is aw tbout six moHt?w since Harriet Reechei Ktowe was brought as an invalid from Sag Harw to tills city. Mrs.Stowe went early last season to Bag Harbor to gpeuil the summer. For a time she seemed benefittod by the change, but for several weeks before she returned to Hartford her life was despaired of. Every one MiipiMMed the reuowueil authorHarriet It. Stottc. ess of "Uncle Tom" had but a few weeks to live at best, and by many of her near friends iter life was measured by days. Only tho care of her physician and the attcuttve nursing of her children brought her througn her illness. But Mrs. Stowe eventually recovered of her ailments, aud is seemingly now iu ns good health as she has ever beeu of bite yours. Tho true mental condition of Mrs. Stowe, although well known hero in Hartford, Is seldom alluded to. It is, however, a fact that Mrs. Stowe's mind is shattered, and she is at best, in intellectuality, now but a mere child. Her friends will not say that she is insane, nor that she is an imbecile, but her mind is almost completely gone. Her memory is that of a baby. When former dear friends visit her. people whom she has kuuwu for years, sho greets them with a vacant stare, so indicative a symptom of cases of that kind. Of course Mrs. Stowe's relatives view all this with feelings of dismay, but thoy have uow become reconciled to tho chauge, and her whims are treated .with the utmost tenderness. For some time it was given out that Mrs. Stowe did not recognize her friends because of failing eyesight, but this excuse is no longer alluded to, and the fact that she is now no longer raeutally capable i t recognized by every one. It was also for a loug time thought to be an attribute of geniua when Mrs. Stowe showed these idiosyncrasies, but the genius which mads "Uncle Tom's Cablu" the most popular book of the century lias departed. The father of Mrs. Stowe, Rev. Lyman needier, passed the closing years of ida life with a cloud resting over his mind. His symptoms were greatly similar la '.hose which now affect Mrs. Stowe.

The blaze originated in the enirine room in the basement, and, by the time tho first engiue had arrived, had obtained such a hold that a second alarm was turned In.

The flre-boat Geyser played on the structure from the south and two dozen engines from the east, north and west. The names ran down to the wa ter's edue, igniting the schooner Waukesha. Tills was quickly extinguished. Soon the flames burst from the windows j of the great structure and rolled up in huge volumes, lllumluatlug the entire North Side. The Galena elevator, but a short distance to the west, was ablaze twice. Twice did the firemen put it out. A fourth aud then a general alarm was Bouvdml, aud the entire department stirroui ded the furnace-like building, which was loon gutted.

BLAINE'S VENALITY.

Wis AtltiMiHt t a HigH ()m am latjiHKHHtMHt wf KatloHal HttMMty, After Mr. Jaiuea ti. Blaluo had bea to sun-struok as to stop the investigation of tits methods of securhifr money while SpoaWnr of the House of Representatives, he retired to Augusta, and whan an attempt was made to resume tho Investigation, his physician, Dr. 11. II. Hill, telegraphed: "What he iuhmIm is absolute rest." To that opinio wo hold now. With no malice toward Mr. lUaine, wo must toll tho truth about him as lonp as ho insists on taking public otllco for which ha is unlit. He needs absolute rest and ropontanco. Mr. Ulwino's record is too long for review horo. It fills many pages that shame the American people with indisputable evidence of the venality of a man trusted in many high trusts nnd false to thorn all. Though we can not review tho record in u single article, it is our duty when he is given tho helm of a National administration by tho party of which ho Is representative to rove't briefly in protest to some of tho more fallout points of his career. Initially we extract tho following from tlio Now York Tribune, in which it appeared oditorially on September 28, 1672: It Breaker Maine thinks he lias effectually "squelched" theCred tMouiliertcandulbyhls pompous denial lie may tind new exercise tor Ills ie -iillnr 1 slent. in that direct on In the (.ley which we print totlny.

Mr. Blaine's record In regard to railway matters prow darker as It Is examined. He has never yet given any explanation of his conduct in refilling stock in the Fort Smith & Little Hoclt railroad amonir his neighbors in Maine. Ho bus now an opportunity to rise to ar. explanation of his extensive operations In Union Pacific, K.

Why Mr. Blaino was receiving "32,5G0 of assessable stock of the Union Pacific railway, R D., and L'.OOO unassessable shares of tho sumo' appeared later on in ovidonce in similar connections, leaving no ono room to doubt that ho became "u millionaire on a Congressman's pay" by soiling himselftaking bribe.?, betraying his trust, perjuring himself. The Illuino whom Harrison has called to tho highest olllce in his gift Is the person referred to by the Tribuno In tho nbovo extract; the powm who used his public trust for blackmail; who as Speaker of tho IIouso of Representatives to reed the Union Pacific and other railroads interested in pending legislation to bribe him by buying from him at high prices the almost valueless securities of the Little Hock and Fort Smith. It is as a detected thief and as a con victed liar that Mr. lltuino is called to the premiership of the Harrison Ad ministration and of tho Republican party. Tho following is from tho testimony of Mr. James Mulligan, confidential secretary of Mr. Blaine's friend. Mr. Warren Fisher, Jr. : Mr. Hlaltie said if I should publish them Utcy would rum him for life, and wanted to know if I would surrender them. I told h m no, and that I would not give them to the committee unless It would turn out It was neces sary. After my exam'nauon nere yeieruuy Mr. Illalnecaine up to the hotel, ana there naa a conference with Mr. Adktns, Mr. Kisher and myelf. He wanted to At c the letters I had, I declined to let him see them. He prayed and almost went on his knees I would say on his knees and Implored ma to think of bis six children and bis wife, and that If the committee should get hold of this eomrnun catiou It would slM: him Immediately and ru(n htm forever. I retired to my room and he followed me up, and went over the same history about his family and children, and Implored me to e ve them up to him, and even contemplated suicide. On April 16, 1872, Fisher wrote Blaine: I feave placed you In postt'ons where you have received Inrife suras of tn may without a dollar of expense to you, and you ought not to forget the act oh my iwut Of all the parties 5onncctd with the Little Itoek & Fort Smith railroad, no one has been so fortunate as your self tn obtain hit money out of It. You obtained subscript ons from your friends In Matno for tho butldlnK of tho L. ttlo Hock X Fort Smith railroad. Out of their subscription vou obtained a large amount both of bonds and money free of cost to you. I have your owa Hsures and know the amount. Owur to yoar political position you were able to work off all your bo ids at it very high prw. To thin Ulalno replied on April 18, 1872: Mr Beak Fumikk I answered yours very hast ly Inst evening an you said you wished an Immed ate reply. The demand you UMke on me now Is one I am entirely unable to comply with. lean not do It, His not In my power. You say that nec-sstty knows no law. That applies to me hh well as to you, and when I have reachod the uolnt I am now at, I simply fall back on that law. W th very kind regards to Mrs. l'.ahcr, I aaa yours truly.

That under HarrliMin such a mnn should take tho place Juat vacated under Cleveland by n Bayard is a reproach to tho civilization of tho United States an Impugnment of the honesty of tho American people St. Louis Republic.

I Tfc VasoHHw IMrl trM(4t4 Uf m KHbtl Mavat ONleer. Admiral PorWr, of tha American navy, is thirsting for blood. Ho In quoted by the Washington Star hm waylug; " We are always presperotM In war," If thin Is true, of course, tha more war thu mora prosperity, and the old Admiral is right in his demand for a war with (Jurinaiiy about Samoa. War moans death and demtruction; if not of our own men and property, at least of the mon and property of (Jormany. Wo do not see how any nation over can prosper by destroying men and property. Germany conquered Franco, but she had to pay dearly for It. The North conquered the South, but certainly from 18ti0 to 1879 woro not prosperous times In nnv sonse. War is destruction, not prosperity. It destroys the very foundation of prosperity. It disturbs all industry, It interrupts commerce. It diverts men and money and energy ft'om productive to unproductive employments. War Is a costly privilege, or pleasure, or duty, as occasions arise,0 There are times when only war will settle a dispute and then war must come, cost what It may. Admiral Porter scorns to havo Imbibed tho thoo"y of the protectionists that the fewer goods wo havo tho hotter off we arc. Wealth consist not in scarcity, but in abundance Scarcity advances price, yet It is a sign not of prosperity, but of poverty. If half tho wool In tho world wore destroyed tomorrow, tho price might advance to twico wliat it is to-day, but tho world would bo poorer, not richer. To show just how war would oporato to Interfere with, if not destroy our prosperity, wo may quote from tho interview with Admiral Porter: "As the country knows, I have been urging in letters and reports the importnnrn of building up a powerful navy. Wo have the wealth and resources to lead the world in a navy. Hut, taking matters as they arc. the Hovornment should go to England nnd France, both countries belng.ahead of Germany in modern naval vessels und guns, and buy all the rfted guns wa can find and brine thera here. We w-itl very soon make ue of them. Here Is a list of the entire strength of the German navy. It Is more than we have, but we have the money and could easily s pond ftftO.OOJ.iXH) in ships and appliances i.f war." Tlmt l,o0,000,000 represents fully ono year's, export of cotton. Wo now export it for the4eom forts and conveniences of Jile; for those things that add to the prosperity of the people; for raw materials to employ our mill hands, etc. etc. That is right and proper. But Admiral Porter's schomo of prosperity would force us to exchange It for guns and ships of war and force us to do without other things. These guns and ships would not add any thing to tho wealth of America by destroying the property of Germany. When America has to go to war, sho will pronecuto It with Sherman's idea that "war is holl;" bo it is. Admiral Porter b idea, that war is prosperity, is a delusion, fit only for consideration by the Ways and Means Committee of tho next Uoptibican Congress. It is contrary to human reason aud to univer.sal ex perience, but it accords entirely with tho theory of political economy upon which tho Republican party is acting.

"Stylos come and go lit furiil'two a), moat as rapidly an iu millinery," ai4 a leading manufacturer, In reference to thu trend of taste In hotuwi-furnlshiug. "Every llttl while thera la a populap crat for sotno particular wtaxl oi design, aud oven though there bo no pronounced demand of thin sort there' isalwaysaroachlng out aftor noveltlas. "In the new stylos of furnlturo the designs are simpler ami tho ornamentation loss elaborate and more ehnwtu. The aaino principles aro now followed In cabinet-making ns hi architecture. Barring special cases, which uay bo regarded an exceptions, there Is a growing disuse of ornamentation, puraly as such. Designers nre seeking moro and more tho houuty that results from slinplo, oven sovcre, linos and lino finish. In some stylos, especially of tables nnd nod-room sets, this Is almost carried to excess. Tlio aim, of course, is to ppoducu striking effects without such mi expenditure of labor In manufacture us to prohibit sale, and in so far us designers now sin in this respect I think thoy sin on the right side. "Taste is now gravitating toward the antique. With the exception of u few patent devices, such us foldingbeds, olllce furniture find revolving book-cases, nothing really now has boon got out for years. Thu Kastluko patterns, so popular some time ago, wero nothing bat a crude adaptation of thegothio. Painted furniture, once so popular, wasnovel only in its finish. So, too, with stained woods, which are used only for cheap goods. All theso at e now out of dato, and designers aro busy working over RoinuiieMjue, renaissance, Louis IV.. and colonial pattorus. We adapt and unlto the different types just as modern arohitoota combine different stylos of architecture, and many of our most pleasing effects are obtained in this way. The popular fuu keeps us within thu loading strings of tlio antique, and so fur us the requirement is mot wo aro free to make as many violations or combinations of art principles as wo choose. "In tho matter of woods, oak has precedence. Cherry probably follows next. Birch and4curly maple are much used, since they give a pleasing, dainty effect. Walnut, which for some time has boon out of favor, is gradually coming back ag;iiu. Oak and cherry nro now what walnut used to bo- the staple goods and I presunio it will not bo long before thoy, too, will yield to tho popular fancy anil take tho obscure corners of retail establishments. "Good furniture to-day is much cheaper than thosame quality of goods j was a few years ago. The socrot of tlio matter is not because wood or labor is I cheaper, for material is actually moro j expensive and . labor not essentially changed, but because machine-work is moro largely taking thu place Of handwork, even in the host goods, and because, as I said before, beauty is Bought on different linos. A largo Bhuru of tho carved work now soon on furniture is done quickly nnd cheaply by machines which aro little less than a curiosity in the way they work out designs. There aro some classes of , furniture, of course, such as uphol- ; stored chairs and sofas, in which there ' is not so noticoablo a change either in stylo or price. Tapestries und plushes are now In vogue, as heretofore, nnd there is no difference in those radical enough to deserve notice. Leather Is Hied chiefly for library und dining-room furniture.
