At the outset, he would have set the fashion for a simpler mode of life in the National Capital. His wife, his daughters and himself, never mingled in that vulgar fashionable society wherein the "Coal Oil Johnies" "Boss Shepherds" "Boss Tweeds" and "Tom Murphys",shine. Plain, unpretending and simple, Hor. ace Greely would have owed his elevation to the graces of his mind, and not to the depth of his purse The receptions at the White House would have bpen secondary to the weightier cares of State, and not have been the most inx portant event3 lu the administration. The accounts of correspondents concerning them would have noted what was said, not what was worn. Best of all, self respecting people,—the mass of the nation,—the poor people of the land,—might have attended them without being shamed by the magnificence of their entertainers and their own shabby raiment. The wives of Cabinet ministers might have dressed as well as the wife and daughters of the President, without forcing their husbands to steal, aad simple costumes, honestiy paid for, might have been thought lovelier and more becoming to honest gentlefolk, than royal purple and flashing diamonds purchased at the price of infamy.

We should have seen a President, who would have been notod for the fact that he walked about the capital, and Presidential racing stables, and dispatches at the Government expenses concerning sore tailed colts would, have been reserved for other and less happy times.

We ehonld not have heard of cost ly wines at the Presidents table, and our President would bave been the last person whose wooden effigy should contest with Indian ^maidens the glory of being the most significant sign for a cigar shop.

We should not have heard of our President consorting with the suddenly made rich men of the land, who are for the most part thieves, since wealth honestly obtained Is the labor of life. In a word we should have had a President noted among men for the vigor of his intellect,and not notorious through his personal vices.

The farmer editor in.the president lal chair in this centennial year would have been a living type of that sturdy set of honest gentlemen, who fought the resolution and established the union which their solid virtues adorned and made beautiful. In his personal life he would have demonstrated, what we fear alas is not true, that our material developement as a nation has not dwarfed our moral growth.

Best of all, we should not, iu this centennial year, be called upon to fill up our prisons from a President's cabinet, and appoint investigating committees to see if our President himself is not a thief.

Greely vs. Grant.

In such a time as this present it is a pleasant thing to turn from the spectacle of the shoddy aristocracy which Grant has established and of which he is the head, with its un timely fall and deep disgrace, to consider what would have taken place at Washington if Horace Greely had been elected President.

Is an Inland South of Ireland and the Inhabitants aro Starving.

Copenhagen, March 7.—The last mail from Ireland reports that five hundred inhabitants of the West Manna Islands, the group lying to the south of Irelard and belonging to Denmark, are probably dying of starvation. The fisheries there last year wore unsuccessful, and the inhabitants fearing their food would not last them throughout the winter, sent to Ireland asking supplies accordingly a email quantity of supplies were dispatched. About a month ago, however, a bottle was found on the coast of Ireland, containing alotter statingtbat the sup plies on hand are only adequate for one week, and a (amine was inevitable. The dangerous seas during the winter months render communication with tho west Manna islands impossible.

LITTLE SISTERS POOR.

»truction by l^ire of a House of Refuge lor lie Aged Poor, Conducted ly

Them.

Large Loss of Life.

Now York, March 7.—The house for aged people, conducted by the Catholic community known as Little Sisters of the Poor, and located in the eastern district of Brooklyn, was completely burned thi9 morning. The house comprised a four story buildine, with two wings, and contained 185 inmates. When these were made aware of the

fire,

a panic seized them, and the sisters losing control, they rau through the building, some escaping to the street, but others sinking down exhausted, overcome by the fright and smoke, The police and firemen rescued all theso, but a number who could not get to the lower floors by reason of the smoke and llames, ran forthe roof, and all who reached it were rescued, but some of the inmates who were too feeble to run or clamber, were burned to death, while two, who threw themselves from the upper window, were fatally injured. Five bodies have been taken from the ruins. The loss on the building and furniture will reach ?25,000. Insurance §30,000.

LATER.

Later reports from the fire iu the home for the indigent, under the care of the Little Sisters of the Poor, make it more disastrous in results than at first noted-. It seems that the fire was first discovered in the south wing, occupied by the male portion of the inmates, and contained seventy-two persons, whose ages varied from 68 to 105 years. The fire was discovered by a person on the street, trho gave the alarm by ringing the bell of the institution, awakening the sisters and the aged inmates. When the fireman arrived the flames were sweeping through the south wing in every direction, and it was rot until 9 o'clock that the fire had been reduced to smouldering embers in the basement that the firemen were enabled by ladders to examine the upper stories of the burned wing, when they found that sevenieen men were burned in their beds in the upper story The: bedsteads were made of iron, and rested on the charred beams which had remained in their place. The bodies were burned to a crisp, rendering them totally unrecognizable. It is said that thirty persons are missing, and it is feared that the burned bodies ot some may be found amonp the debris of the fire in the basement. Tho firemen succeeded in saving the main building and south wing, which is occupied by about sixty old women.
