Cairo, Nov. 2. A fire at Mound City
this afternoon destroyed over one third
of the town. A telegram was received
here at 3 P. M., asking assistance, and in

were hoisted to tbe surface amidst the

' - The ITte War.
Los Pinos, Col., Oct. 29, via Del Nokte.
Nov. 1. General Adams and Count Doen
hoff have just arrived from White river.
Tbey succeeded in reaching General Mer-
ntt a command, although it was attended
with much difficulty and came near cost
ing tbem their lives. The troops had de
ployed and were advancing to recover the
oayoi .Lieut, weir, killed eleven tlavs
previous while on a bunt. Two solitary
lorseinen advancing, a whole cotunanv
wasldeployed to cive them battle. A scout
had reported that Adams and his escort
ot twenty-three Indians were over three
bundred strong. ' The Indians, not pleased
with tbe outlook, had retired to a safe dis
tance, leaving General Adams and Count
Doenhoff alone. An officer chanced to
discover the flag of truce just as the troops
naci covered tnem witn tneir rules tor the
fatal shot It was a close call. General
Adams and the Count have had a rough
time. They came back from White river,
distance of 200 miles, in four days, hav
ing traveled over mountain trails. The
pluck and energy of General Adams and
Count Doenbort are truly commendable.
Men of less energy would have signally
failed. General Adams is of the opinion
that the affair will be amicably settled by
me surrender oi tne cumv parties in ac
cordance with the wishes of the interior
department.
The Guilty Vtes to be Surrendered.
Washington. Nov. I. The news re
ceived last nieht that the White River
tiles are willing to surrender lor punish
ment the members of their tribe who
murdered Agent Meeker and his employes
inspire uuvu civil anu ministry ouiciais in
Washington with confident hope that all
Indian difficulties in Colorado may soon
be permanently ended. There appears to
be a very general belief in army circles
tnat one certain outcome ol events which
have already taken place will be the res
toration of a very large portion of the
Ute reservation to the public domain, and
consolidation of tbe bands, upon tome
suitable tract In southwestern Colorado,
unless indeed an arrangement still more
satisfrctory to the people of Colorado can
be enected by procuring peaceable con
sent of the Indians to move wholly out
side of the state boundaries. It "seems
more likely, however, that the consoli
dation ultimately to be made in accord
ance with the recommendation of tbe
Morrell commission will be upon the
Chiama and Navajo rivers. Aside from
other manifest advantages of the removal
of the White Ktver Ltes to the south
ward, it would further carry out what
has long been. the policy of our govern
ment to Keep ail Indians as far awav as
possible from the Pacific railroad, and es
tablish a wide band of unmolested terri
tory along that inestimable important line
or communication clear across the conti
nent.''.
An Absurd Offer from the Indians.
Rawlins. Nov. 2. A courier came in
from tbe front last night with dispatches
ana man. Ail is quiet at aiemtt's camp
On the 29th an Indian came to merntt s
camp to have a peace talk. Ue was in
formed that Merntt had no authority to
make peace. He then gravely told the
general that if he would give up bis arms,
all ammunition, horses and mules, be
would be allowed to leave with his men
After the Indian left the camp numerous
signal fires were observed in the neigh
borhood of the camp. Two companies ox
infantry will be stationed at Snake river
to protect stores and turnisn wagon trains
witn supplies tor aierntt.
Battle on the Waves
Panama, Oct. 25. The Star and Herald
has a story of a naval battle between tne
r : t 7 r. . i .):..::
x eruYiuii iruu uihu u wurnur uim a uivimuu
of the Chilean fleet. Steaming rapidly
along the coast, the Hutucar, at about 3
o'clock, on Oct. Btu., signaled to her con
sort the Lmon, that the enemy was in
sight and immediately proceeded at full
speed to tbe northward hoping to elude
their vigilance in tbe darkness, and trust
ing to the superior rapidity of the Union
to mislead tbe opposing squadron. The
Union rather invited the enemy's atten-r
tion in hopes that the Huatcar might get
far enough ahead by daybreak to escape.
Tbe Chilean vessels were one iron plad
and three wooden steamers. At 7 A. M.,
on'.the 8th, the Chileans were still in pur
suit about 0000 metres from tbe Unwn.the
Huatcar being ahead, hot when the fog
lifted there appeared directly in front tne
remaining division of the enemy's fleet
an iron armored frigate and tbe corvettes
or transports. The Peruvians wisnea to
avoid a conflict with the Chilean fleet, and
endeavored to escape, but to no purpose
The Huatcar, at 9:30 A. M found herself
in front of Moro and Mcjillones and the
second ironclad within cannon shot.
whilst the first was coming rapidly up,
running m towards tne snore in tne very
bay of Mejillones Do Bolivia, The Huom-
6or awaited the advance of ber nearest
antagonist, and lot dnve tier two turret
guns, following up tho discharge by an at
tempt at ramming, wnicn proved unsuc
cessful, owing to the power possessed by
the Chileans to turn in their own length
with their twin screws. The fire was in
stantly returned, and mitrailleuses in the
tons of their Huctxar and her enemy's
rigging coinnient&d tgeir dreadful rattle.
The Union, to save herself from capture or
destruction, continued her flight, And tUe
lluancar unaided continued tbe fight.
he placed herself between tbe enemy's
Teasels, but th Chileans took every op
portunity of getting n lie!s at the stern
of the ram, her - vulnerable point, and
the Uuatear was taken frequently at di&r
ad vantage. Kha several times repeated
her attempt to ram, but unsuccessfully.
After a two hours' contest, tiifl Huucar,
with bull riddled, engiues damaged, tur
ret so iammed that it would not revolve,
and with only four officers nnwounded,
hauled down the Peruvian flag and sur
rendered. Tbe Chilean iron clad first in
the action, fired her broadsides very rap
idly, aa with ber twin screws ahe was able
to present to her adversary in a few mo-
monrfi an v hnttiarv ah A wished to use.
The lluaKar't guns were well served, and
in an hour discharged 2o shots. Iter gun
ners were foreigners, principally nghsU
and Scotch, among whom the mortality
must have been considerable. Her en
gineers were all foreigners, 25 of crew in
all. beince Europeans. The damage done
the Chilean ironclads is considerable.
The Almirante Cocltran, which sustained
the brunt of the battle, was somewuat
damaged, but the Blanco Encalda escaped
almost entirely. The unequal character
of the fight may be understood when it
known that the Huatcar has but two 300
pounders to oppose twelve, and her ar
mour was four and a nan wcues auaiuei
inches. ; ; . t
The Huatcar carried 210 men, officers,
sailors, marines and engineers. Her pla
ting amidsbip was 4J inches tapering off
to 2J inches in box and stem, and her
measurement about 12o0-ton with two
Armstrong rifles (300-poundcrs) in the
turret, and two 40-pounders on deck,
which probably could not be used from
the heightot the Chilean vessels and ex
tremely short range Bometimes three
hundred meters and sometimes a stone's
thrOW. ; " ; - .:
Commander Grau of the Huatcar and
both his lieutenants were killed in the
engagement with tbe Chilean fleet. Many
of the crew were killed and wounded. At
the close of tbe action Huatcar nearly
sank. It was thought doubtful whether
she could reach port. The Chilean army
numbering - ten thousand is reported
marching upon xqmqui, rent.
Subscriptions have been - opened in
Lima for the purchase of an iron clad to
be called the Almirante, Grau. Men give
tbeir money, their houses, their estates,
their watehes and even their sleeve links.
Women have thrown into the fund their
diamonds and silver plate. One lady sent
diamond jewelry valued at 2.000 ster
ling, and others bave been equally liberal.
The archbishop cf Lima heads the sub
scription with 2000 aols. Already nearly
2OU,0UO sols have been collected, xne
ministry, to give the president an oppor
tunity to choose new advisors, resigned
en matte, but tbeir resignations were not
accepted. In spite of a feeling of sad
ness at the loss of Admiral Grau and biB
shin the Hwm-ar. there is no thought ot
submission. A commission composed of
Dr. Rozas. president of the Peruvian
senate, and Benor Camocho, editor of the
Ojnnton A'acwnal ol Lima, sailed for Hu
rope from Aspinwall, on the 22d ult., to
endeavor to purchase another iron' clad
to replace the lost Huatcar.

them from 24 to 48 hours beyond sched

Cardiff, Oct. 20th, was thrown so far over
on her side that it was difficult to keep
her headed up to the gale and the seas
swept over her decks fore and aft, carry
ing overboard everything movable and
doing slight damage to upper works.
Sailing vessels which arrived this
morning looked as though they had re
ceived a severe handling by the recent
cyclone which swept the coast. Their
sails were in rags, and the vessels had gen
erally a battered appearance, the oldest
captains state that they have never ex

taining tbe Sultab in his present choice
of ministers, a ciunter demonstration in
a military direction by Russia miifht ba
considered necessary. . No steps thus far
have been taken towards any; military
movement, and it will be tbe business of
diplomacy to render such steps unnec
essary.- . ) - j . -The
Novoel Vremui aavs: "Evidently
the Beaconsfield ministry aims either at
peaceful chahge of Turkish ministers,
whicb woultl practically place Turkey
central authority in England's hands or
at open rupture, threatening Constantino
ple with seridus danger in either case."
The Goto refers to Ahe change in Bea

iwNeu to maintain me integnty and inde
dependehce of Turkey. It says: "The
presence of a British fleet in the a-ulf of
Smyrna will open the eyes of Europe to

Strike of Pork-packers ait Chicago,
Chicago, Nov. 6. It appears that the
trouble between pork-packers and their
hands, who number in the aggregate about
8000, has broken out again and is likely
to prove a serious matter to one of the
greatest industries of the ; city. The
workingmen's union, to which" organ
ization some 2000 workmen at the stock
yard belong, recently decided to demand
an advance of 2d cents per day over last
year's prices for all kinds of labor in the
packing bouses. , The proprietors de-,
murred, but yesterday, in order to finish'
up tbe work on hand, gave in temporarily
and paid the prices demanded. To-day,
however, 21 packets and curers, embracing
all the principal houses, signed an agree
ment to act in carmony, and especially
to hire and discharge the men they saw
fit regardless of the unions or associa
tions. Many of the packers have shut
down entirely, stating that tbey would
not pack another hog this season if they
could not get men at the old prices. Thev
claim that there is no money in the
present price of hogs, and that an in
crease in expenses would be ruinous.

DUST ET THE RIVERSIDE.
AN ADDRESS DELIVERED BY D. BOLIS COHEN
BEFORB THB TOUNO KEN'S HEBREW A&
. BOCIATION OF PORTLAND, ON 8TJSDAT
EVENING, NOV. 2D., 1879.
. Though we may be excused for doubt
ing Mark Twain's assertion that be shed
tears over Adam's grave, it is the off
spring of an indisputable fact, that the
solemn resting places of the dead wield
peculiar influences npon the living; in
fluences which vary, of course, according
to surroundings, circumstances and the
nature of those affected. I allude not to
our sacred mounds the moss grown
beds of cherished friends, daisy cover
lids beneath which repose faces which we
carry in our hearts, mounds which speak
to us in tones which we carry in our
souls, these are our own, they are holy
to us there is no thought of dust and
decay connected with them. But there
are other tombs belonging to the world,
to history, in which we have a common
share; it is of these I speak.
When the life-record of a human being
is closed, when the tale ia told, the book
sealed, the sacred account between a soul
and its Creator ia to be examined by the
Great Auditor alone. ! 1 The influence,
however, which that life exerted upon
persons and things, whether touching a
limited circle or affecting nations and the
world that influence clings to tbe dust
over which we : raise our mounds and
monuments. Nay, in some instances
prestige grows and languishes even as
when its object lived on earth. That I
may fairly claim your interest far my
text, and ask you to visit with me thus
evening, some of the spota marked for
distinction by the arrow of Death de
positories of historical dust. That the
subject may not prove too dry, I shall
lead yon ever by the river side.
lhree streams: the Thames rushing
through the world's most bustling city;
over tunnels, under bridges, through
docks. Beating against the stones of
palace and prison. - Catching the merry
music of Cremorne, the reverent organ
tones of Westminister, and the groans
which still re-echo through the Tower's
corridors. "Winding now through grassy
lanes, washing the feet of stout English
cattle and singing rippling songs which
the farmer-boy whistles behind nis plow,
and the old dame crones in her red-
gabled cottage. ; Along it flows, in bliss
ful freedom until the scent of violets and
mellowing hay is lost, end above it rolls
the thick and darkening smoke of a heavy
city. On through dismal banks where
filth and crime and misery hide their
ugliness and their despair; where tower
ing walls of brick and stone, and forests
of masts shut out the very heavens.
The Thames, the busy Thames, which
heeds neither the roar of commerce the
shout of revelry nor the sharp cry of
hunger and distress. v -
.The Seine; clear, calm, serene, pick
ing its dainty way through blooming
ban its, beneath a blue and smiling sky.
Clear, calm, serene, despite the scenes
of wickedness which it has mirrored.
Clear, calm, serene, even as it traces in
its flow the ' steps of the unfortunates
whose blood dyed red that cup on wnich
was blazoned - the glaring lie liberty.
Calm, clear, serene, reflecting rich gar
dens, bright buildings, wondrous gems
of art, even as it reflected the greedy
flames of vengeance, that devoured the
Tuilleries. Pouring its waters through
world-fame fountains and sending its
waves to welcome the fatal plunge which
makes it the tomb over which angels
weep. The Seine, so beautiful, so
sparkling to the eye; se sad, so red be
neath. The Avon peaceful, graceful stream.
Pure and quiet now, even as it was when
the Seine ran blood, and doomed
wretches shuddered on the Thames'
flood as the boat which carried them
glided nnder that low arched iron gate
way beneath the tower stones. Pure
quiet, crystal stream; white as the
pebbles shining at its bottom; kissed
ever by the lips ot sleek, contented
kine; watering; the leaves of weeping
willows, catching the sparkling tears
they shed and murmuring words of con
solation. The Avon the trentle Avon-
fit guardian of the dust reposing in the
church its arms encircle.
Let us tread through the sacred aisles.
the ancient naves and gloomy chapels of
Westminister Abbey, feeling the damp
of the river in its dark and crumbling
walls, and almost hearing, in the still
ness, the fretful - washing of its tide.
Beneath each stone on which our feet
may rest, the bodies of the powerful, the
loved, the feared, the honored of man
kind now moulder into the dust of noth
ingness. Statues, huge blocks of stones,
the artist's genius, the sculptor's cun
ning tell us of their lives, courtinn us to
trace imaginatively, the hopes,desiresand
ambitions which marked their days on
earth. Mitrhtv pillars supporting arches
graceful as immense.bear their names.and
through colored window panes the light
falls mildly, dimly, on vast towering
walls, a perfect maze of stones and
tablets. In musty cloisters, which the
sunlight shuns, rude granite slabs mark
the dust-heaps of mighty : Abbots, whose
very names are now beyond all trace,and
walking upon' forms ' in brass of ,full
cowled monks, we are treading 'over
those at whose nod a nation, trembled
But what are they now? when even the
walls are eaten by worms of time worms
of time that : have effaced chisel marks
designed to give perpetual being to Tain
words of mingled grief and praise. In
gloomy chapels, barred by iron doors
and guarded by vergers, the dust of
royalty claims the distinction of its ex
clusive grandeur its value, sixpence.
On Dondrous tombs of marble, stone
and metal, the full length effigies of
kings and queens and princes lie, their
hands clasped, directed up - towards
heaven. How futile is this attempt at
exclusiveness in death! : Despite the
vergers, iron doors, narrow, winding
aisles, flights of steps, . altars, nags,
armorial bearings, there is scarce a
figure which has not been mutilated by
irreverent hands. Turn with me from this
mustiness of birth-distinction ending as
all birth ends, save that of sonland mind,
which permeates the world forever, to a
brighter, more ureoious snot. In the
south transept .nearest to ttie snn, lie tho
mortal remains of genins p aaaed to its
pristine immortality. These are tombs
which belong to yon and me, wnicn we
share in common. This is the dust
which we approach with awe, with rever
ence, with a beating heart to which mere
curiosity is an insult. Kings, aueens.
warriors and statesmen belong to their

their lives, we admire or condemn, and
when we approach the beds on which
they moulder, we think cf their times

however, in this little space open to alL
no doors with rasping locks, no vergers

wiut rasping uiroats, we stand Dy tne
graves of friends. Friends who have

Jonsort" looks dawn npon us from the
wan; to tne right and left the names of

tell us their dust is nigh. Bounding
this fretted pillar, Sbakspcare stands
erect before us. his finger seems Dointinc
to a plain slab in the floor where sleeps
the lover of his memory, brisk Davy
Garrick- , Robert Soutiley and James
Thompson atand. beside; the bust of
UotasmitA smiles
above the . chanter
door, and opposite the glorious menu
meat of Handel greets the eye. Angels
piy ua music upon heavenly harps and
on tne aesx belora bam lies the score, "I
snow tnat my redeemer livpth." - Over
shadowed by the statue to Addison, who '
loved to muse and ponder in this solemn
pot,'- Thackeray looks out from a side
pillar, his eyes seem resting on the
ground beyond. There in tbe old
marble pave we notice a new stone,
plain, simple blue, and we read the
name, the dearest because the nearest to
us, Charles Dickens. Here he lies, a
"golden dustman;" bnt the world which
he created lives, his people move about
its streets and lanes and houses, and so
will move when our worlds have
crumbled ronnd us, and like the insect
silken-workers we sleep forever in the
web ourselves have woven.
'"': -. ' - II
Above the Seine flood a huge clome
rises; its gilded glory rivalling the - sun.
Towers and steeples encompass it, bnt
it o'ertops them all. It crowns a building
sacred to the soldiers and citizer s of
France tbe Invalides. Enter a garden
rich in flowers, ascend a flight of iiteps
and stand in the rotunda. The grandeur
and majesty of marble is about you) but
one object claims attention to the exclu
sion of all other. Approach the circalar
opening beneath the centre of the dome
and gaze down into the galleried vault
below. Twelve lamps throw their sub
dued light upon the coffin shaped granite
which- guards the dust of the -first
Napoleon. His battle flags, with tar
nished eagles, moulder with him.
Statues of peace and progress stand on
either side like silent sentinels, and
figures of victory laurel crowned, watch
at his head and feet. .... Even as nis great
opponent Wellington bleeps beneath the
the towering dome of St. ' Paul's, so
sleeps he beneath this dome in accord
ance with his words; "I desire that my
body may repose upon the banks of the
Seine, among the French people whom I
loved so well." But what a difference
between the tombs! In the dark crypt
f St Paul's, with eyes pained by the
nickering light, we look upon a ponder
ous funeral car, with stable plumes and
all dismal trappings of heavy grief and
woe, - Wellington and Nelson rest in
darkness and we hurry gladly to the up
per air; Napoleon has the sunlight play
ing above him, and the light of lamps
below seems like a holy offering, signifi
cant of the fire still burning for him in
his country's heart. In Pert La Chaise,
the next spot we visit, the same differ
ence is noticeable. England is heavy in
all things, from her dinners to her
mausoleums. ' Westminister Abbey is
the groan of the living who have met
with irreparable loss; Pete La Chaue is
the song with which the soul is welcomed
to realms of light. The music of the
city reaches it, but not its noise and
bustle. ' xne sky is its roof, and blight
hued flowers fringe its walks. Each
mound shows that a fond heart watches
it and every visitor carries immortelle
'to lay upon the sod. The chapel stands
before us with open doors, inviting to
public and to private prayers. Turn
through this shady path; among the
trees, stone roofings to the vaults rise
like houses; loon through their grated
doors and mark the evidences of affection
of ttie living for the dead!- This portion
is sacred to the dust of the peculiar
people, dedicated by Jewish rites; that
peculiar people -claimed as the sons of
every soil, mingling with the dust of
every land, owning with every nation and
with every creed, one common mother,
Earth. Here rests Rachel, and every
day the artists of the city lay their offer
ing above her dust. 1 Mere also isxma
lies, that great fixe burnt out, that
brilliant eye which entranced thousands,
closed forever. Turn to : the left and
high above you is the mausoleum of
Marie, Napoleon's wife. Four flights of
steps take yon to the summit from north.
south, east and west, and the gay city
lies at your feet, the Seine like a single
thread dividing the spot, from the In
valides. Down low among the daisies is
a simple mound, marked only by a Utile
wooden cross, scarce one span high; yet
around sweet bnds are scattered, the
grave is clear, there Is aot a stray stick
or fallen leaf upon it. Ask who rests
here unrecorded, and the old soldier ac
companying you will answer, Marshal
Ney. Approach the central space, its
rails enclose a block ' of pure white
marble, on which two figures rest; notice
the young girls adding their bunches of
roses to the hundreds which cover ail the
space around and you will find no need
of question here it is - the tomb of
Abelard and Heloise. - ; But here too, in
all this rjeacefulbeautv---ihis spot which
speaks of sweet sleep, of pleasant dreams
and happy wakening haa its ugly side,
even as the red beneath the Seine's
white , wave. On the outskirts of the
cemetery the cannon ball has ploughed
the ground, for here the Communists
made their desperate stand. Here lie
broken stones and monuments, there
coffins protrude their decaying wood
through the earth, and bones and Bkulls
be all around yon. Ghastly picture yet
typing trance herself. -
And now again to England; through
rows of emerald hedges, we approach the
attaint old town the Avon waters, ited
chimney tops tell of the wide fireplaces
the old folks used to love, and we unnx
of winter nights, of nnts and apples and
foamino- mnirs and lonsr elav nines. Bow-
ered in trees the spire of the old church
appears, the old church in which the
dust of Shaksueare mingles witn its
native soil. Walk up this path with
willows bending over you on either side.
with the waving grass hiding low stones
with time-worn epitaphs, and enter the
little shuroh. Walk slowly through the
narrow aisle; look not for the lofty
pillars of Westminister, the magnificence
of St. Paul's or the height and marble of
the Invalides. Behind the simple altar
a rail prevents the stranger from storming
upon the floor slab which utters that
touching appeal lor peaceini rest to tne
dust beneath, which ia known to each
enlightened heart. Above, in a little
arch in tbe side wall, there ia a painted
bust of the poet, but it does not picture
the Shakspeare of onr imagination; we
read the lines beneath it and then turn
again to the plain slab below us.
"Stay passenger, why goest thou by so
last? "
Read, if thou canst, whom envious Death
hath placed
Within this monument; Shakspeare.
with whom
Quick Nature died, whose name doth
deck the tomb
Far more than cost for all that he hath
writ. . '
Leaves living art, but page to serve bis
wit." -
Who will deny the inflnence of this
dust! The heap which lies here is to
heaven but what all other heaps may be,
but to the world it is a living sun, a quiet
refulgent moon, myriads of sparkling
Stars. ; J.-.-..V-v "

Kings and queens, warriors, states

Westminister, teaching that ail power
must crumble, all rule mast end. all
pride be humbled, all ambition p&lv.ed
But in that "Poet's Corner" near them
another lesson speaks from ever line
and atone; the lesson of the simple
Stratford tomb; the lesson of aiila be
