nro EDITIONS

Of this Paper are published. The FIRST EDITION, on Friday Evening, has a large circulation among farmers and others living out&ide of the city. The SECOND EDITION, on Saturday Evening, goes into the hands of nearly every reading person in the city. JSvery Week's Issne Is, in fact,

TWO NEWSPAPERS,

In which all Advertisements appear for ONE CHARGE.

STRICKEN BOSTON.

Tbo telegraph and the daily press have told the story of the terrible calamity to Boston, the most solid of American cities, where in a few hours millions upon millions of dollars in goods and houses were swept away.

The fire started on la.st^Saturday evening at half past seven o'clock, in the engine room of the large four story granite store on the corner of Hummer anLKingston streets, occupied by Tebbetts, Baldwin & Davis, wholesale dry goods dealers, and was checkccl on Sunday afternoon, having spread over seventy-five acres of ground, and consuming property valued at §100,000,000.

The lire has excited less iutcrest throughout the masses of the people than did the Chicago fire, a little mote than a year ago. Fortunately it raged in a locality where its destruction did not uuhouse tho poor and drive out thousands of outcasts, as in Chicago. It was confined to a quarter almost entirely devoted to business, and with the exception of comparatively few tenement houses, tho whole loss will fall upon stores, wholesale houses, offices, warehouses, and tho like.

Tho historic monuments and the sight? which Boston shows to the ad miring visitor—among them Faueiul I-Iall, the old cradle of liberty, where our forefathers nursed the infant republic, and started our national inde pendence—are outside the region of the lire, -I hfr

Of the insurance companies little can be said yet, but it is believed that most If not all doing business here, will stand tho shock. Our agents are receiving telegrams to go ahead, put up rates, and take all good risks.

Business men will feel the effect of this fire more than that of Chicago. The calamity has struck tfie great center of trade, for so far as western inter ests aro involved, and as far as concerns the the flow of capital, and the success of particular branches of trado, Boston in a more omphatlc sense than New York, holds the key. Her wealth in monoy capital was enormous, and found Investment in noarly all the great railroad enterprises of the country.

Tho wealth of her merchants, and the extent of her manufactures enabled them to extend their credits. The stoppage of disbursements, and the withdrawal of capital for the rebuilding of Boston and the relief of her own half ruined capitalists, will be seriously felt throught the whole country .particularly tno Western States. We may soon look for an advancc In many articles of daily consumption—especially in woolen goods, boots and shoes, and leather goods.

THE "CURSED MANSARD." Boston, in common with other cities, several years ago, was soiled with a mania for the Mansard roof, and many handsome granite bnlldlngs, which were thought to be flre-proof, wore crowned with this fire-trap devlco. The cursed Mansard roof" as the telegraph felicitously calls them, were the main cause of the rapid spread of the fire in Boston. Tho aocounts all say the lire leaped from roof to roof, the numerous ledges, cornices and other exposures offering a ready place for lodgement. The Boston and Chicago disasters should teach the people to discard these handsome but useless appendages. Fire-traps they certainly are. Take, tor instance, our Opera House. A gentleman told us yesterday that in the roof and dome of that building there Is more lumber than can be found in two of tbo largest lumber yards in this city, and that, too, of the driest and moat luflamable character. Let fire obtain the least head way in that building and human efforts would be nnavalllng to save the noble structure. Fortunately the guards against fire irom the interior have been carefully looked to, and we hope that we ahall never be called to record the «tartingot afire in that building*

WOMAN is a citizen under the national (institution. Has sbe the constitutional right to rote 7 Ingenious and strong arguments have been urged in the affirmative, and legal decisions have been rendered in courts of inferior jurisdiction pro and con. It is now proposed to test the question finally, and for this purpoae a petition has been presented to the Circuit Court of St. Louis county, wherein Mrs, Viginia L. Minor complains ot having been illegally defrauded of her right to vote in the thirteenth election district of St. Louis. The esse in its progress will be watched with interest. We trust that it will reach the Supreme Court of the United States, and be decided by that higfteat judicial authority.

SELF-MADE MEN.

In every man's nature there lies the germ of a higher culture than he has ever realized a spark of divine fire hidden in the rough flint of humanity that needs only the stroke of the steel to kindle it into a blaze. The hard set features of the toil worn laborer betray the impress of the same seal that stamps the forehead of the nobloman yet neither have over reached that full and complete development to which the heart of man aspires, that perfection of power which remains still beyond tho limit of human attainment that power which is beyond the mental and the physical yet resides in both too subtle for the grasp of the one and too deep for tho comprehension ot tho other. Length of days cannot fathom the mystery of a single thought, nor ages measure its silent iufluence yet every one is endowed with its divine essence and immortal principle. The unlearned are never satisfied with their poverty of knowledge, nor the learned with the consciousness of how little is to bo known, while neither can over hope to master the alphabet of the unrevoaled.

Society recognizes many different classes among its members, and to few of them does it accord a more distinguished place than to men of letters the pioneer of social and political advancement tho leaders in the grand uiarchof intellect. Recognizingiothem the true exponents of the grand and ennobling idea of self-culture and indi vidnal greatness, we would know these giants of the race and through the lapse of ceuturies would trace their lineage, No boasted coat of arms or seal of royal favor claims for thein a recognition at tho court of lame, but back into the ranks wc follow their/ doubtful ances try and find them men sons of a line whoso proud boast it was to have wrested freedom from the clutch of tyrant kings men who grappled with destiny and disappearing for a time amid tho the surging crowd have reappointed at length, far in advance ex ultingintho knowledge of new found strength and with rapit! strides, made each effort tho fruition of a possibility,

Freo from tho curse of inherited ranks, that clog to genius with its pride of birth, the American citizon of to-day blackened with the smoke of the forge or clad in tho coarse homespun frock, is a prince in his own right a freeman by doscer.t, and a poer to the noblest in the land, a man who must confer honor upon tho rfge in which ho lives, an age that demands culture, whose teachers must be scholars, whose leaders must be thinkers and age when the school bouse is pouring its contents into the work shop, the aoademy into the printing offico and the college sends forth its sons to the pulpit the forum and the desk when to be a man among men is to be a king among kings.

Life is full of possibilities as yet unrealized that loom up before the imagination with their incentives to labor and promise of reward from the ranks must come tho bone and sinew, the brain and brawn to work the press and wield tho pen. A long and patient apprenticeship is necessary to tho acquirement of skill in every department of industry, as well in the arts as the sciences and perseverance is a virtue that may be cultivated. Destiny is but another word for iailure for fate decrees to no man more than his share of misfortune but with an iron hand it crushes tho spirit that is too cowardly to shake off the dull lethargy of despair and bend circumstances to suit occasion. Intelligence and self-respect demand recognition while education unbar* the door to social and political advancement. Superstition goes down before tho march of mind and with it old forms and popular prejudices public opinion is fast levelling the barriers that a would be arlstocraoy too long opposed to a class long eonsidered menial and keeping pace with the advance of new ideas, rewards worth irrespective of parentage or station.

Manhood must lie at tho foundation of all true greatness and whether it be in the palace or hovel at the bar or the bench will assert its divine prerogative to stand first in the scalo of moral and intellectual grandeur.

A firm reliance upon self, an unshnken confidence in the power that directs and an honesty of purpose that seeks no concealment are the characteristics ot the true philosopher and able statesman, for the proper exercise of which personal freedom must be guar anteed that liberty which leaves thonght untrammeledand research unhindered that indepeudance of feeling which inspires tho poet when he sings "No pent up If

Ilea contracts our powers,

But the whole boundless continent Is onrx," Such are the advantages decreed the American citizen of to-day and with the prestige of former scholars to stimulate hiin to the attainment of still greater results there lies before him a field for the exorcise of his faculties grander than any which has hitherto been presented in the history of tho world. Selfmade men are proverbially well made men, whose thoughts have shaped themselves under the stroke ot the hammer, or the mallet. To-day a mechanic, to-morrow a judge behind us the plane, tho plow, and tbo anvil. with us the living presents before as whatsoever we ourselves determino has been and is the prevailing idea among men who hare achieved political eminence and individual greatness. Strong, manful and self-reliant, they have conquered success and left the world a rich inheritance of noble deeds. To them came the consciousness of inborn

power aa it cornea to all, and few there he who nay not write as grand a life history "and departing leaves behind them their footprints on the sands of time,"

T1JKRE-HADTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL NOVEMBER 16, 1872.

IT is a very pleasant reflection that the utmost good feeling prevails amongst the members of both—perhaps we ought to say all—political parties (as there was an O'Coner ticket in the field) since tht Presidential election. It is one of the most cheering signs of the times, and a harbinger of that era of good-feeling so earnestly desired by all true Americans.

WHILE a church oouvention passes resolutions looking toward the break ing up the profanity, a State Legi9la tare proposes to repeal the law punish ing blasphemy. A bill to this effcct is before the Vermont House. The com mon violation of tho law is urged as reason for the repeal. If al! laws com monly violated wore blotted out, we would need fow statute books.

IF the horses read the daily papers now-a-days, and could see how a cold in their aggregate heads stops pll com morcial and other pursuits, they must be more than human not to feel aglow of pride at the importance of their la bors to the well-being of mankind, the party of the other part could, also, by this temporary suspension of the patient labor of bis faithful servant come to consider him mercifully, giv ing him lighter tasks, less rod and more oats, the horse distemper and thes lines will not have been iu vain.

TftE bare condition of tho trees du ring the bleak months of winter has struck a restless Yankee, as being far from pleasing to the general eye, and proposes to remedy it by a system of steam pipes twining among the roots of shade trees, and kept warm by steam fron. an ordinary furnace boiler. He doubtless thinks that iu this way it may be possible to cause the trees to imagiue themselves in the midst of summer, and to suppose that tho win ter winds are not worth noticing, While we do not believe that the plan of this ingenious individual can be made successful, we cannot avoid ad miring the intention which led to this suggestion. II he docs not succeed in this, he should not fail to try his genius upon something else. That man will do something to startle people yet.i

A CORRESPONDENT writing to the Cincinnati Commercial from Anderson ville, Ga., gives a description of the old prison grounds and cemetery there The stockade is falling to decay, and a j-ear or two more will efface it entirely except from our hearts and memories, The "dead line"—over which so many brave soldiers passed to tho freedom ol" eternity rathor than enduro the misery of life—can only be traced here and thorc, for most of the marks the last eight years have beon obliterated. The thirty-five wells which the prisoners dug with cups and spoons remain just as they wcro left. And the wonderful spring, which was discovered ono morn ing after a thunderstorm flowing down tho hillside, still yields its sweet pure water as freely now as then. The cem etery, with its 13,000 graves, is on the slope of a beautiful hill. Over the quiet spot young trees give the cool shade which wo.uk! have been so gratefully sought by the poor fellows whose lives were ended under the scorching sun

SATURDAY NIGHT.

Another week is numbered with the past! The square and compass, the trowel and plumb, the scissors and needle, the hammer and awl, the mallet and chisel are all laid aside and the key clicks behind tho weary workman ot all trades, for the week's work is done.

We shall now enjoy the blessings of ono swoet day of rest. ,^ Many troubles, anxieties ind ings, with toll, forbearance and suffering has caused vis t£ long for this day of rest.

But a weok ago we started out with new hopes, new thoughts, new asplra tions —vigorous, cheerful and encour aged day unto day has passed—each bringing its blessings, its troubles and its joys. Responsibility rests continually upon our shoulders a loving, care-worn and diligent wife must be encouraged, that wo may the more surely receive her kind greetings each weary evening while other blessings aro not ours to enjoy. Dear children must be instructed and cared for and tho many urgont demands upon a "family-man" are to be overcome.

We have worked bard, very hard, six long, long days. Our bands are worn, and our skin is tanned by the hot and beaming sun, and now we wend our weary way to onr little borce, with our week's earnings, to enjoy one of the richest blessings an all-wiso Creator has given man—one sweet, sweet day ofrest!

There is no rest without labor! no joy without sorrow, for who would enjoy a blessing without first inheriting it?

Idle persons find no rest. Xo "Saturday Night" is known to tbem. The rich blessings of that day of rest is not theirs t« enjoy! They have rested while others, more deserving, have labored, and now the Sabbath day brings nought but fatigue while others are reaping that rich rewkrd which nothing but labor can*give rest, sweet, sweet rest!

We take consolation that "blessed are the poor" and thank God for the bleming we have enjoyed and with greater encouragement, renewed strength, happy thoughts, higher aspirations and belter courage start out onee qpore more to battle with life's conflicts for good or bad nntil another Saturday Night.—[Mowr. HOWARD.

Pulpit and Preacher.

LOCAL AND OTHERWISE.

Rev. Alexander Sterrett, of this city, preaches at Sullivan to-morrow. Interesting meetings are held nightly in Christian Chapel, on Mulberry street.

Darwinianism and the Bible" is the subject of the sermon at the Congregational Church to-morrow evening.

A methodist of Carmel, N. Y. has becoino partially blind from weoping over his sins.

A New York clergyman alludes .to ritualism as "merely a matter o£ candles and night-gowns."

The Express says the city ministers will probably turn their attention to the "social evil" on Sunday.

The Universalist Congregation is looking after an able, eloquent and convincing permanent pastor.—[Journal. "Prof." Hutchins, Barn urn's "lightning calculator," has entered tne ministry. He preached last Sunday in New 1 ork

Life, according to the Arabic proverb, is composed of two parts that which is past, a dream, and that which is to -J come, a wish.

If to-morrow is a pleasant day everybody owning a new dress and a winter bonnet will get them out and serv9 the Lord with enthusiasm.

Rev. H. B. Smith, of Boono, Iowa, a young and talented minister will fill the pulpit at the Universalist Church to-morrow morning and evening.

George Alfred Townsend says the chief piety of the religious impostor consists in saying "Amen" instead of "That's what's tho matter."

A Michigan minister being in want of a settlement, advertises the fact, but gives warning that he is as fastidious about a church as most churces aro about a minister.

The Rov. Robert Collyer repectfully wishes that "all whiBky shops were down in hell, chained up in tho bottomless pit for a thousand years, and a new chain ready for them at the expiration of that time."

There are but three ministers in tb. city of Brooklyn who have been pastors there for twenty-five years—they are Dr. Storrs, Mr. Beecher and J. W. Sarles, and all are con^rogationally governed.

Rev. S. F. Dunham, of New York City, has accepted the call to the Rectorship of St. Stephen's Parish, recent ly tendered him by the Yostry, and expects to enter upon the discharge of bis duties on Sunday, Docember 8th.

Sorao of the largest and wealthiest churches in New York and other cities have dispensed with quartette choirs as an expensive and unprofitable luxury. They are now returning to tho old plan of congregational singing.

Command us, says the Independent, to that Baptist brother who, on going into the water to be baptized, replied to the suggestion that he bad better take his pocket-book out of bis pocket during the ordinance, "No, I want my pocketbook baptised with me."^

Bishop Bedell, ot Ohio, warns the public agaiugt a man styling himself Rev. W. Walker, D. D., F. R. S., G. S. F, R. S. L." The Bishop seems to think him a dangerous fellow. Rhouldn't wondor if ho was, with all that hanging on to him.

The October number of McMillian's contains an article on "Art and Morality," by G. A. Simeox, in which is thia passage: "To the pure all things are pure. It is recorded of one of the best public men of America that even the ballet always filled him with religious rapture."

A Western exchange proposes Chat the seats in the churches be arranged on pivots, so that the devotional portion of the congregation, who enter the church at a reasonable hour, may conveniently turn around to examine the elaborate toilets and decorations of the new comers.

This is the way in which Dow sometimes published bis appointments. After eating his supper at a backwoods tavern, gaping crowd gathered about tho room, aud ono of the natives pushed himself in Dow's presence. "Go,*' said the eccentric preacher, "and tell one woman and three men that I will preach at the Court-house to-night." One woman against three men for spreading news was Dow's idea.

A Baptist minister at Petersburg, New York, has been put through a course of disciplinary sprouts for attending the church "mite" parties, and participating in inch frivolous games as "Sister Pbebe," wherein there is some singing and much osculation. Charges were preferred, the minister resigned, and there was a row over the question ot giving him a letter of theological credit. The church is hopelessly split—one faction giving donation parties to the minister, and the other talking scandal at a furious rate.

One of the religious papers makes mention of a general conference recently held. Among tbo questions brought before the body was one looking to the taking care of aged ministers. One pitiful expedient after another was proposed, aji cheap, and none calculated to benefit the parties for whom legislation was intended. At last one delegate arose and said, that after mature consideration, be had come to the conclusion that the only thing to be done effectually for this class of preachers was to take tbem ont and shoot tbem! The sarcasm went home, and a better ions of discussion followed.
