SENECA, LaSalle Co., Ul, March 29.—A fire broke out here about noon to-dav, and isstill (4p. m.) bucning fiercely. Nearly three cutire blocks have already been destroyed, and there is little hope of immediate relief, as we are without a Fire Department, and the flames have obtained gach headway ‘that the%simple means at our command are in no way adequate to meet the re- quirements. The loss will be heavy. TERRIBLE FIRE AND EXPLOSION. Special Dispatch to The Tribune, Manisox, Wis., March 29.—A terrible acci- dent occurred here this afternoon at’ the ‘bura- ing of the Fairchild Biock, which isas horrible as itis mysterious. About 1 o’clock a fire was dis- covered in the ceiling of the third floor of the old Fairchild Block. The firemen escended to a room on the second floor with two Babcock fire- extinguishers, and had barely commenced to play upoa the fire overhead when a terrific ex- plosion took place, knocking several men to the floor and others down the stairs Jeading to. the St. Jnlien saloon, and badly burning several, three or four of whom cannot —-r recover. Those the worst burned are a tailor named August Schocnig, Willism Spaulding, Robert Henrichs, and ‘Tommie Morgan. Those not so seriously burn- ed are Albert Cheney, foreman, and A. M. Daggett, Secretary and Treasurer of Sack Com- pany; Jake Vanctts, proprietor of the Vila Honse; Robert Wootton, James Reynolds, Dis- trict-Attorney; J. L. Sheldon, E. G. Grove, Alfred Goderdon, Peter Firkel, Henry Waltzi- ger, Charley Bixby, and Matt Lynch. Robert Wooton, a member of Sack Company, who wasin the raom holding the nozzles of the Babeock extinguishers, in describing the explosion, says it came from overhead, and was like a sheet of flame, gave a huge puff, and was gone. The first explosion broke all the windows in the two stories where the fire was, and:the second explosion caused the iear. wall of the building to fall inward. After this there was still s third explosion. An im- mense crowd had collected in Capitol Park and in the strects aronnd the building, and the wild- est excitement prevailed. When the men were thrown down the St. Julien stairs py the first explosion, venturesome friends bounded to the top of the stairs and aided those who were injured in tbe building to escape, and they were taken to drug- stores near by and received prompt medical at- tention. It was a pitiful sight to see poor Spaulding lying on the floor of the drug-store with his eyes all gone, ‘hair burned from his head, méaning, Schoenig and Tommy Morgan were j0 an equally terrible plight. ‘Ihe tire was stayed finally, both upper stories being burned out: The loss to Rowley & .Co., gentlemen's fancy goods; C. A- Damon, tailor; 6. Klauber, clothier; and McConnel & Smith, is $4,000; in- sured for $3,000. The Joss on the butiding will be from $15,000 to $20,000, and is covered by insurance. Several theories exist as to the cause of the fire and explosion, but none are satisfactory. There are rumors, which seem to be well founded, that explosive material was placed between the floor and ceiling on the third oor and the fire set for the purpose of destroy- ing the building. If this was the object, terrible suffering has followed, and for which, were the perpetrators known, 8 sufficient punishment could not be meted out to them. AT NEWARK, O. Special Dispatch to Tae Tribune. Nrwane, O., March 29.—A fire was discovered in the tower of the new Lecking Court-House, at this place, sbortly before noon to-day. Be- fore water could be thrown to where the fire broke out, the whole tower was in flames. Assistance from Columbus was telegraphed for, and a steamer and hose-reels came on aspecial train. From the fact thatrecent investigation has shown that considerable crookedness bas existed amonz certain county officials, people think it the work of parties to coverup irregularities. Four years ago the Court-House was burned to the ground, with neariy all the records. The present build- ing was completed last fall at a cost of $196,000, and was said to be one of the finest in the State. It is claimed that a fire was made in the ventila- tor. this morning to burn it out, and that the end of the ventilator was built of wood. This end is in the top of the garret, where a number of valua- bie records were stowed away. The records were such as were saved from the former fire, and contained the transactions of the old Anditors aud Commissioners. Firemen, v.no were in the tower before the flames reached it, say that a Jarge quantity of brimstone was seen in the attic over the Clerk's office. The loss on the building is estimated at about $60,000, with but $20,000 insurance. Indignation runs high among the citizens against the old Commissioners, who capped off euch a macnificent building with s tinder-box. AT JACKSONVILLE, ILL. Tacksonvitre, Ml., March 29.—This after- noon’ at about 3 o'clock a fire was discovered under the roof of the Deaf and Dumb School building. The alarm was immediately given by means of the telephone to the Western Union Telegraph office, and the Fire Department in fullforce was promptly dispatched. The en- ginea and pumps of the institution, with a full supply of water, and the judicious end energotic efforts of the city fire compan’es, soon extinguished the fismes. Dr. Gillett, the Superintendent, acted {2 5 cool and deliberate manner, superintending the actions of the firemen, and did all in his power to quict and cheer the pupils of the Insti- tution. The girls were down in the city and the boys out in their pisy-ground, and hence were jn nodanger. All their goods were removed in safety, and no one hurt. The schoo! will go on without interruption. ‘ ‘The building is damaged more from water than from fire. It is now impossible to make a close estimate of the Joss, but $10,000 will probably cover it. ‘The fire originated on the roof.. A workman engaged in repairing the roof left his soleering “pot and irons and ‘went below, and when he re- turned the fire. bad started, either from the wind blowing over bis fire-pot, or melting the seams of the tin roof and originating the fire gnderneath.. No one burt, and all well. AT CLAREMONT, N. BH. Crareuont, N. H., March 29.—The Tremont ‘Honse burned early this morning, and five persons perished in the flames. The names of the victims are: Mrs. Hannah P. Gib- gon; of Chester, Vt. mother of one of the proprietors; Charles Morgan, boarder; Lyaia Merrill, table-girl; Annie Jobnson, shambermaid; Mrs: 8, 4.

Lirrtz Rock, March 29.—On the night of Sunday last, the Town of Fayetteville was en- tered by a mounted band of about twenty. armed men. . Several of them proceeded on foot. to the southwest corner of the public square, where both barrels of a shot-cun Joaded with buckshot were discharged into a window | of the Sentinel office. The party then moved de- liberately by the residences of A. P. Farmer, Reuben Carter, and C. L. Summers, into all of which they fired shotted guns.. The two parties joined near Summers’, whersa they remounted and galloped off on the West Fork road. There is no doubt the party was composed of the men who a week or moré before had threatened the town in revenge for the death of the despcrado Reed, who was killed at the jail. The State Guards, after the pacific resolutions of the citizens’ meeting held by Reed’s friends, had disbanded, and the sud- den attgcl in the dark, found the city defense- less, an@heuce it was unchecked. Fortunately, no ove was hurt. A considerable number of citizens, after their departure, armed and pa- trolled the town until daylight. The man Reed and the mob who crested this disturbance were all ofa reckless class of people, who have been a terror to the law-abiding people since the early days of the War. Reed has killed several men, and frequently with his gang had ridden into town, hbarassing~ and avnoy- ing law-abiding people. nly a short time before his desth he made such a foray into town, and struck the Mayor on the head with a pistol, while the latter was attempting to maintain the peace. He was ar- rested and fined for this, The row in which he was killed occurred shortly after. Respectable people of his own kin and party deny that poli- ties had anything to do with his taking off. Y THE PEKIN CROOKS. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. SpRiverrecy; Ill, March 29:—In the United States Court to-day James M. Ayres, - another of the Pekin inaicted, who is now at work for the McIntires, entered a plea of guilty, and was fined $200. Two other indictments against him were dismissed on nayment of costs. Daniel S. and G. T. Reissinger, the proprictors of the River bistilery, Pekin, appeared, and pleaded fuilty to five indictments. They were fined $1,000 each on one for conspiracy, and sentence was suspended on the others on payment of costs. HL. 8. Kickler, also of Pekin, pleaded guilty to removing spirits on which the tax was unpaid, and was fined $200 and costs. In all these cases, as well as those heretofore reported, the fines and costs are paid cre the parties leave court. ACQUITTED. _ apectal Dispatch to The Tribune. ADRIAN, Mich., March 20.—M. D. Palmer and George H. Carver were to-day acquitted of a charge of forgery on the second trial of the case,- ordered by the Supreme Court. The parties Were convicted one year ago, and sentenced to five years in the State Prison, for what is desig- nated the white wire clothes-line swindle, the allegation being that under the guise of estab- lishing agencies innocent farmers were induced to sign notes for large amounts of wire.’ The parties formerly kept a hotel at. Blissfeld. The second trial has created great interest, iriends of the parties being present from Jackson and New York. HELD TO ANSWER. Sr. Louis, March 29.—A, B. Wakefield, the alleged head of the Gamblers’ Ring, for whose arrest abench Warrant was issued two or three days ago, returned to the city to-night, and was admitted to bail in $1,500 from day to dav until the indictment against him is presented to the Court. = DISAGREED.

The attempted assaesination of Gen. Von Drentelon, the head of the St. Petersbure Gen- darmerie, is a fresh proof of the dangers which beset every Government’ officer in Russia. On the appointment of the new Minister of Police, a few months ago, a wag proposed to celebrate ‘the occasion with a service for the repose of his soul. This Audacious jest was certainly not un- warranted‘by facts.:: The late M. Nikolai Mflu- tine, during his six. months’ tenura of office in ‘Poland,.was--guarded night and day by four ks with losded rifles. Gen. Koipakovski, the Military Govgrnor of Northeast usiietany is similarly protected, nostranger being allowc to .approach him till satisfactorily vouched for. The life -of Gea, .Trepoff, the Jate. Minister. of Police, has been thrice at- tempted since his” elevation. One of his col- leagues was murdered: in broad daylight, less than a year ago, in the streets of St. Petersburg. But perhaps the most singular attempt of this Kind was that made not lone since upon one of ‘the minor chiefs of the Moscow police. He was sitting alone in his cabinet when a tolerably well-dressed man entered and politely inquirea if hz were Inspector T—. ‘he Inspector re- plied in the affirmative, whereupon the stranger suddenly produced a short club and with one Diow felled him to the ground, cutting his head severely. The assailant, on being arrested and questioned, talked ao wildly, and behavea with such extravazance, as to be at once set down as @ maniac, although one or, tio close observers pronounced his madness feigned. However, his death in prison a2 few wecks later left the whole affair a mystery, anda mystery itremains to this day. THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. ..

To the Editar of The Trizunc.* Curcaco, March 29.—A real estate agent says Iam misinformed about that block of houses on Monroe street; that Mr. Harrison owns most of it and has rented each house for $50, therefore has kept this one waiting until he could get that figure for it.

A North Shore Nuisance. To the Editor of The Tribune. Cutcaco, March 29.~1 wish to request through your columns that the Board of Health take a look at those stench-pools along; our North Shore created by the building of the Lake Shore drive, and, while they are putting forth such an effort to get our city ina good sanitary condition against supposed invasion of epidemics that have been spreading over the East- ern Continent, consider the necessity of doing something to rid those who are compelled to live in their vicinity of onc.of the worst health- destroying odors of our city, These ponds are made the receptacle of every ‘varicty of cdecom- posing matter wished to be cast away by reck+ Jess people, and, unless our Board of ‘Health take immediate action on this matter, the citi- zens in this the most beautiful portion of the North Division will have to petition for the im- mediate execution of the law in regard to the abatement of nuisances for self-protection. Oscar Corr. Don't Stay at Home Next Tuesday, To the Editor of The Tribune. Cnicaco, March 23.—As electiqu-day is draw- ing near, is it not about time for the “stay-at- homes” to be looking abont for some excuse to stay away from the polls? We hear on all sides the talk that we baye a good Republican ticket nomiinated,—all good men,—and that it is sure to win, etc. All very good talk, and trae enough; and, in view of this fact, the “‘stay-at-homes" can find a good Teason why they need not trouble themsvlyes to yote. A good .ticket ought to be elected, but, my good friends, it neeas votes to do it. Don’t be afraid of contaminating yourselves or your fing clothes by coming in contact with some workingman, nor let your olfactory organs hold you back on account of the fumes of whisky, even if the polling-place should happen to be in some sa- loon. Don’t let the bummers, the vags; and the crooks do all the voting, and then go about complaining at the high taxes imposed by the scalawaga who get elected, and who always want to raise enough money to give the con- tractors a good ‘fat take” for all the contracts they have to let, enabling them to divide hand> somely. Business men too, necd' an excuse. They do not like to neglect their business, and if voting to protect themselves and their interests is not their business, we must expect that they will find some excuse for aot yoting. People that are too nice to zo out in the rain or mud on election-day, und whose feelings would be hurt if they were obliged to mix with the vulgar crowd, necd our greatest commis- eration, aud we ought to do all we-could to help them out. AMERICAN, “To Your Tents, 0 Isracl!” To the Editor of ‘The Tribune. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., March 28.~For the first time since its organization, I find myself an in- active member of the Republican party of Chi- cago, and at a time when' ‘every member should have his armor on, ‘doing battle for the Wright.” For some weeks [ have been filling a temporary subordinate position in a State department at a small per diem salary. Iam, as you know, one of the toilers who ‘carn their bread by the sweat of their brow”; yet I can- not afford to stay here and forego my privilege, or withhold the little influence I may possess, when every Republican vote seems to be needed athome. Hence, I shall feave here to-morrow morning, and arrive in Chicago in time to bear a hand in the struggle. °-This will ‘allow me thres good working days, for, you know, “ there are no Sundays in revolutionary times.” Sure- ly, if a man depending oa his daily stipend for his daily bread can afford to travel 850 miles (the distance from Springtield to Chicago and back) in furtherance of what he deems a sacred duty, those of our Republican friends now at hhome can each afford to give one day to the cause of his country. 2 Tam gratified to sce by Tue Trisung, which I purchase daily, that our friends in Chicaro seem to be alive to their duty. Let the camp- fires blaze up brightly, and victory will be ours. Wake up our lazy, apathetic friends, “stir them up With a sharp stick,” set them to work from now until Tucsday evening, and the friends ot good government, the -enemies of bulldozing and free fraud, throughout the land, will bear our shouts of victory, as borne on lichtning’s wings, and interpret them as*harbingers of a still more glorious triumph in 1850! ‘he -Re- publican Conventions of our proud young city have presented us exceptionally good tickets, both municipal :tud town, und they should, nay, must, be elected. Not anome.on either should ‘be scratched. As a delegate who voted to place him on the Mayoralty track in 1877, am espe- claliy pleased with the candidacy of Mr. Abner M. Wright,—“the Wright man in the right place.” A man of spotless moral character, great executive ability, and business. habits, acquired by years of legitimate and Jhonorable toil, he will make the best Execativé Chicago has-ever had. He ought to receive a rousing majority. Permit me also, a8 a citizen of the Eighth Ward, to counsel my friends there to use every exertion to return Oscar W. Barrett as an Al- derman from that ward.’ Althougn largely in a minority, politically, I think we can. elect him. He is an honorable, cuergetic, and thorough business man, who would vot only attend strictly to the faterests of the ward in which he has a jarge pecuniary interest, but also to those of thecity at large. He:should get every Re- publican ote, und, as be is very popular, many of his Democratic friends will prefer him to either of the candidates of the opposition. I believe his chances for success are decidedly flattering. Aword, also, as to ourWest Town ticket, and Lwill not trespass further on your valuable space; Pleasant Amick, the first and best As- sessor the West Side ever had, should bé sup- ported bv every friend of anintelligent and hon- est assessment. ‘The whole ticket, however, is good, and ought to be and can be elected by a sweeping majority. : Finally, Mr. Editor, let us speak as one man tothe Rebe! Brigadiers ‘at Washington, and to their traitorons contreres elsewhere, North and South, in* such uumistakable terms as to con~ yince them, however reluctantiy they may note the.warning, that it will be aapgerous ta cou- tinue their system of butldozing, intimidation, bailot-bor stufting, and general free fraud, an! say to the President thet loyal -Chicago will stand by him if he shall stand firm by vetoing any bill which the Rebel Congress may pass, in- yolving either the repeal or the emasculation of the Federal Election laws.

Re- spectfully, OLD GuaRD. —— Begging in Silk Attire. : Kew Fork sun. + On Friday afternoon_a woman was noticed begging, al first in Fourteenth street,: near Macy’s, and afterwards in Wall street. , She at- tracted attention not because she begged, but because she begged in a silk dress and appeared like alady.

Charles Fechter and His New Tri- umphs at the Howard. * A Persistent Playwright---A Motto for Young Authors: Patience and Shuille the Cards. Fashionable ‘Revivals---The Young Minister’s Practical Work at the Highlands, c From Our Own Correspondent. Bosrow, March 27.~The principat public at- traction just now here are the plays at the Bos- ton and the Howard. ‘The first of these attrac- tions owes its growing fayor more to.the fact of the play being a composition of the famous French dramatist, Sardou, and the magnificence of its presentation in ‘@enery and spectacular effects, than to the actors and their; labors, fine and satisfactory as both are, At the Howard, however,—a variety theatre which is patronized on all ordinary occasions by the jolly ground- lings who are not at all disturbed by Boston notions of chill reserve and hauteur. but who show their contempt of all such restraints by the, most generous expressions of their appro- bation or disapprobation, and who beguile what time of tedium there may be by an equally in- dependent enjoyment of George Francis Train’s favorite fruit, peanuts,—at the Howard, just now, Boston’s old-time favorite of the stage, Charles Fechter, draws vast crowds out of the ordinary style of the Howard crowds, solely and entirely by force of his own magic. It is Fechter, and Fechter alone, for not even his support is beyond the ordinary. Mr. Fechter shows the wear and tear of the years that have passed since he first played at the Boston Theatre and sent Boston “wild” over his impassioned intensity. Hedoes not create any great stir now.. He is an old dory, for one thing, and then his erratic course, bis quarrels with the joston' managers when he was here, his arro- gance and assumption, altogether have taken the gloss off of his reputation. It is by reason of these quarrels that he goes to the Howard now, it being the only theatre he didn’t have a difficuity with, Lam told. He draws a crowd, as Isay, but he no longer creates that general sensation that be did. Boston men don’t go to matinees now to hear Fechter, and at that prosaic hour forget the time and place, and shout, “Brava, Fechter! braya!?? as I saw and heard them once, AN OLD ADMIRER says of him now: “I went in to the Howard to hear Fechter last night in his ‘Monte Cnristo.’ When I saw him at the time he first appeared in Boston, several years ago, 1, thought I had seldom seen a more unattractive actor person- ally. When he began to act, it still affected me prejudicially. As he went on, and jarmed tu his work, I forgot all about his ucliness, and ended in thinking him the greatest actor I had ever seen. Last night the same old feeling of repulsion came oyer me, 48 I first looked at him, with an added force, for the years have not dealt lightly with Charles Fechter, and THE HEAVY FACE AND FIGURE did not seem softened or refined by the process of time. I thought to myself as I looked, ‘Fechter has had his day, and I have had my day of admiration.’ And, as [ thought, I wished that Lhadn’t come to look upon him again; [ wisbed that I had been content to keep the memory of the past. But while I was going through with all this, the play was going on, ind I began to forget to make comparisons and to wish one thing or the other. I began to see only the characters before me, and to thrill and hold my breath without regard to any rea- soning or comparing. By the time the evening was over I had lost sight of the personal draw~ backs; in fact, by the time the evening was oyer, L had gone over to the magician again. It wasn't quite’ such. a going over as in the old days, but that may have been attrinutable to tho lapse of years, and tho wider experience in theatrical matters. But it was a sufficient en- thusiasm to make me accept and finally forzet not only the increased unsttractiveness, but cer- tain intensified faults of utterance ‘and facial distortion.” ‘This testimony is certainly very interesting as evincing the great power of Mr. Fechter with those who Raye once admired him, or who appreciate his genius. There used to and is now ‘another class who sneered'at the actor’s style and method, and talked contemptuously of mere melodrama, which does not in the least change the facts that Fechter has moved, and does move, people of the higher capacities and culture instead of the lower, even while he gives them melodrama like “ Monte Christo.” WE WHO ADMIRE HIM “here in Boston don’t forget what Dickens said of him, after he first saw him one night in a little French theatre. “He was making love to a woman,” said Dickens, ‘and he so elevated heras well as himself by the scutiments in which he enveloped her, that they trod in-a purer ether and in ‘another sphere aisite lifted out of the present. ‘By heaven! said to myself, ‘a man who can do this can do any- thing!? Inover saw two people more purely and-"instantly elevated by the power of love. ‘The manner in which he presses the hem of the dress of Lucy in the ‘Bride of Lammermoor’ is something wonderful. The man has genius in him which is unmistakable.” One word about Sardou, the French play- wright who is the author of “Andre Fortier,” now on the boards at the Boston, before turn to other topies. Mr. Victorien Sardon is now the most celebrated, the most popular, and _prob- ably the most money-making, of the French dramatists; but when be first started upon his career he received propably more rebuffs than any subsequently successful author in our time atleast can record. He has said himself that the first eighty of his manuscripts—plays, poems, etc.—were rejected, and that for two years he did not make a sou py his literary jwork. His productions are now éagerly sought, even by those who once declined them. What a Jesson of patience this ought ta be to struggling | authors! EIGHTY MANUSCRIPTS, one after another, returning to him, and still he keeps on and had faith in himself! What pluck and what perseverance! It would be in- teresting to know how many of these manu- scripts have now become popular, and are spoken ‘of: oy sapient critics as “‘evincing M. Sardou’s peculiar grace and finish.” In view of such persistence with suck triumph at the end of it, Lam inclined to recommend to all young as- pirants, disheartened by rejections of brain-bantlings, to nail up over their desks this fact concerning M. Sardou, and beneath it Cer- yantes’ motto, “Patience, and shuflle . the carts.” One would not think to look inat the theatres that there was anything like a revival going on in the religious world; but those who . are interested in ‘that development of. the fgith say that at the High Church’ centre—the Church of the Advent— there is a great quickening of feeling, and every day and-all day the doora of the Advent Temple are open to all comers.’ The general % wicked world” outside, however, don’t know much about it. The newspapers are dumb, and what conversation there {s concerning. it does not overflow on strect-coruers and in the various places of mecting as it did when the enterpris- in 4 MOODE AND SANKEY HAD TAEIR “BIG JOB" in operation. But there is no big job about the “ Advent» meetings. ‘Thelr “quickening ” of heart or imagination—for the latter stands for the’ heart, or is mistaken for it very fre- quently—belongs to a different range of emo- tions and toa different set of people. If one could eee any practical result for the good of the human race beyond the stirring up of the Individual to save bis pot by any means always valuable soul, there would be much more re- spect for these so-called revivals. Speaking of practical results brings before’me the practical work of 2 young minister at the Highlands, the Rev. J. G. Brooks, a graduate of the Harvard Divinity-Scnool, and now successor of Dr. Put- nam, of the old Firat Unitarian Church in Rox- bury. Mr. Brooks had had bis attention callea very frequently to the great number of idle, yagabond young men and boys who up to cer- tain hours would daily collect about ‘the streets and saloons near the Roxbury station where Tre- mont street crosses. . Making inquiries, he found that there Were over seventy-five liquor- shops within a few minutes’ walk of this tocalf- ty, and from the police learned that the locality was one of the worst in the city. As there were “no other resorts where ~ IDLE MEX could find coca pablonshto free of abjectionable features, Mr. Brooks bethougnt himself of open- -ing a reading-room in the-vicioity which shoald ‘be both comfortable and inviting, with a view to one’s time amongst a crowd of unruly, not Grawing off some of these idlers, and possi- bly opening up a botter life to them. ‘Those to whom he first sugzested the subject ridiculed the idea, He was told that so tawless Were these characters whom he proposed to benefit that he and his books would probably be fiuug out of the window before his experiment had been in operation a week. But he was de- termined to persevere, and with the afd of some of his parish he rented a large room in the local- ity, and made it as attractive, by light and warmth, comfortable seats, and various books and papers, as he could at the outset. He com- menced with twelve boys, to whom he cave free lickets of membership. He called. it “The Young Men’s Free Union.”? His aim was to aid the members and give them a safe and pleasant place in which they could spend their evenings. Be did not attempt any “religious work,’ and he had no book or any sectarian publication in the room; but he furnished music and readings every Sunday evening, and atalk of a plain practical nature for lecture or other entertainment, twice a month. He Mmited the membership to BOYS OVER FOURTEEN YEARS OF AGE not in the public schools. Of course the begin- ning of all this was not perfectly smooth. ‘The boys werean undisciplined set, rough, and ac- customed to rule instead of being ruled. But Mr. Brooks brought to his work real sympathy and kindness. These are potert powers, und gradually they haye won great results. The boys whocome out of curiosity have remained, and brought others because they have found the in- stitution a pleasant and attractive place. The Union bas now 275 members. There is a good library of 1,300 volumes, a full file of papers and periodicals, a classroom for teaching pen- manship, arithmetic, history, dramatic reading, spelling, and German. The averace evening attendance is 100, and ninety members are under regular instruction given by eleven voluntcer teachers. Employ- ment fs also sought for members out of work, and one lady devotes her leisure time to finding places for the boys. Twelve bave already been placed in regular situations by this agency this inter. ° ‘This is the practical result of religion whi everybody can appreciate, but few comparatively are willing to follow. It isa much easier thing to “dress up” in one’s beat clothes, and go properly toa fine church to listen to a fine preacher, as a means of grace, than to spend overclean boys, for the sake not onty of their individual souls, but of the race and the com- munity. ButI naven’t room to argue this at length, and it is scarcely necessary, with this practical picture of practical religion before us.

OBITUARY. PROF. ADOLPH -ANDERSSEN. ‘The celebrated chess-player, Adolph Anderssen, died on the 1ith inst. st Breslau, Silesia, where ho was born in 1818. While teaching mathematics in Berlin he acquired a bigh-reputation as chess- player, snd in 1851 he went to the chess tonrna- ment at London, where he defeated all the English celebrities, including the almost invincible Staun- ton, who, however, did not display as greatskill as he had in bis matches with Horwitz and St. Amant. At this tournament Wyvill took second honors, and tne other prize-winners were Messrs. Williams, Stannton, Szen, Kennedy, Horwiz, and Mucklow. ‘The other competitors in this famous tourney—the ‘fret great international gathering of chess-players —were Kieseritzky, Lowenthal. Mayet, Jaenisch, Bnekle, Bird, and Lowe. In 1#58 Anderesen met more formidable sdversary in the Acierican cham- pion, Panl Morphy, who at Paris beat the Silesian seven games to two. In 1862 the player from Breslau again came out winner in tho tournament at Landon, the other prizes being taken by Paulsen {W20 in 1857 came nextto Morphy at the New York tournament), Owen, Mscdonnel:, Dubois, and Steinitz. At the Baden-Baden tournament in 1870 Anderssen alao toox the first prize; at the Vienna Exposition in 873 he was third, Steinitz beating Blackburne after a tle, and. Rosenthal taking the fourth prize, Andergsen bas written mapy valua- ble articles upon the theory of chess, and was a frequent contributor to the Leipsic SchacAzeitun2. —— CHESS IN LONDON.

(a) Since answers have been found to the Fraser and Mortimer variations emanating from QR 4at this point, strong practitioners again have recourse to the old line of attack as in the text. (b) We are not satisfied of the necessity of the move of the K, and are inclined to think that BQ 2 might well be tried if properly continned, White's usual attack by BQ RS, after establisht he B at K.5, does not appear to us strong enough when the KB bas been removed from the lino which ac commands at Q B 4. (c) This geems loss of timc. White was prepared to retake with the P if tue opponent exchanged his B for the K Kt, and actually did recapture in that manner subsequently: it was, therefore, better to bring out the Q to Q 2. which either forced at once that exchange or else released the Kt fora retreat to sq or bt aq, in preparation of the advance ofthe KBP. This line of play presented also the advantage of reacrving the option for White of placing his K B more conveniently at Q 3 in some probable contingencies. (a) Better than PK R4, which some pracution- ers recommend; Mr. Biackburne exercises here excellent and independent judgment, bat subse- quently falls to purane the benetit which ought to have arisen for him in consequence of this well- adapted measure. we te) Nota good post for the Kt, as tha ‘sequel shows. Ether this Kt onght to have retreated at once to K Kt sq. for the pnrpose of ‘posting Itself at KB, or else, and perhaps better still, he might have now atilized the previous advance of PtoK RB for instituting a counter-attack by PK Rt 4. White could hardly afford to take the P; for then the answer was B tks B, followed by P tks P, with anexcellentyame. If, however, White pushed the Pto B 5, the K Kt could then retreat to K Ke gq, with the above-mentioned object. All that Black had then to take care of was not to advance the K B Patall, for otherwise White would obtain: a strong attack by Kt Kt 5, followod by exchang- ing Bishons and Kt Q 4; but Black bad mnch tuo best of the game with that caution, for his Q Kt wonld also obtain a good post at K 4. (f) The exchange was unfavorable for the de- fense, as it evidently strengthened White's centre. Kt K 2 first was preferable. (c) Black's position becomes bad now. Under the circumstances it was preferable to retreat the QE». which kept the adverse Ktand Q engaged in defense of the K P. Probably in that case White would have been tempted to advance the P to B 5, but could win no more than the Q for two Rooks by pressing the attack, ¢. g.2 ‘ ‘White. 21.9 22..PBS 22..Kt K+ 23..RtxaP 23.26 tks It DPBech, | 24. tics P 25.28 cks Q : 35..R tes R, followed soon bi KE Ktsq, witn Sgoodesmes (hb) Kt KtSwas much stronger; it served the game purpose of attack, and, at the same time, it threatened an important P and enabled the Kt iv gain the important post at Q 4 with greater specd.

Attempting to escape with tho loss of the exchange by PK B3 would have been fatal, for ‘White woul not have taken the R, but conta plant the B at B 7,-threatening. towacrifice the K for the K KeP, with an irresistible attack. 2 (k) 3ir.Mason wisely provides against any fature exchange of Queens by QK5. His position was not ripe fora tight of a plece against three Pawns in the end game. () But, injndicionsly, Black weakens his vosi- tion on the K side. His best chance consisted in offering the exchange of Queena ut K Bana fighting out with the majority of Pawns on the K side; albeit, White was enabled to double the k B P, he could hardly venture to acceot the offer, for ‘his KP remained weak, and was in most cases lia- ble to farther attack oy KtQ B 5.
