The patriotism of the American people may be depended upon, but mere love of the fatherland cannot makea business enterprise successful. Philadelphia is brilliant with banners and bunting, but the superfluity of flags will not compensate for the deficiency of dollars, One cause of the loss is the closing of the grounds on Sundays. By this foolish rule the Centen- nial Exhibition not only loses surely one- seventh of its possible receipts, but far more than that proportion, for the attendance on Sunday would certainly be greater than that of any other two days of the week. It is our idea that public opinion in Philadelphia and throughout the rest of the country will finally force the Commissioners to reform their regulations in respect to this subject. The Summer Pulpits. In a couple of weeks the few great min- isters ot the New York and Brooklyn pul- > pits, together with many of the hard work- ing and little known servants in the vine- yard, will be off for their needed summer rest at the mountains, the springs or the seaside, In spite of the fashion which has tome upon some of our divines of making the pulpit a place to air political and social hobbies, yesterday's sermons, with few ex- teptions, exhibit a preference for treating the higher and more solemn relations of man to his Creator. The harmonies which can be made upon this theme are as endless as the tunes that can be made from the notes of the tonic scale; but they are not enough for tome who attacked the stage until he con- verted his Tabernacle into a variety show, and denounced politicians until the air in his vicinity was saturated with the vulgar slang of barroom ‘‘strikers,” has turned his galvanic attention to the watering places. This reverend individual treats every subject according to one method. Having selected his topic, he treats it as Bret Harte says of the bad miner of Sunday school literature—he ‘sets up the cards on it from the start.” It is a method that cannot deecive even the ignorant; for when, in order to give the devil an extra black exte- rior, the tar brush is dabbed on every angel in the vicinity, the average man or woman will call for fair play. Talmage, however, does with his subject what no Sunday school book ever did, and that is to spice it with all the foul sug- gestiveness and bad language which the being he has imagined would be likely to use if he existed anywhere outside of the preacher's brain. So when he preaches on the watering places he makes a very nasty picture indeed. That a man like him, all grimace and Bible buncombe, should find tt “tough” as he says to be good at a water- Ing place we will all allow. When we think what a privation it must be forhim to spend a couple of months without posturing before 3 tickled audience our hearts almost go out In pity to the poor empty-headed fop whom he describes as. attitudinizing, harmlessly if uselessly, on the hotel verandas, and we are fain to prefer even that ‘‘masculine grasshopper” to this clerical katydid up his tree. Even when-the young man takes a drive he cannot do it,without going ‘two-forty on the road to hell,” and to look at a horse race or bow toa lady is certain damnation at Long Branch or Sara- toga. Even a lady going to church at Bharon Springs is not sacred from his side- long suggestions, She is a ‘bntterfly;” trime of crimes—she wears diamonds, and tlas ! she only drops a cent in the plate! We expected Telmage or some of his kidney about this time, but he has surpassed him- self.

The Emperor rose early, and, accompanied by the Visconde De Bom Retiro, drove about the town. After breakfast. Their Majesties attended divine ser- vice at the Catholic church, On leaving the church they were driven to the State House, which they examined with interest. They also paid a visit to the public library. Ata quarter to twelve, accerd- ing to appointment, the Emperor, in company with Vice Admiral De Lomane, drove down to the ferry wharf, where the steam launch Billow, of the tor- pedo station, was waiting to convey His Majesty to Goat Island. Captain Breese and Lieutenant Brad- ford received His Majesty at the wharf and escorted him during the day. When the Billow arrived at THE TORPEDO STATION wharf, Goat Island, the officers of the class were drawn up to receive the imperial visitor, His Majesty immediately proceeded on board one of the School ships, where the system of the spar torpedo was explained to him. Under the directions of Captain Breese a spar torpedo was rigged, but His Majesty felt no curiosity to see it exploded. Captain Breese then politely showed His Majesty through the various departments, explaining to him the system of working, in which both the Emperor and Admiral De Lomane exhibited considerable interest. The Emperor was particularly pleased with some of Professor Farmer's work, and watched with atten- Uon several electrical demonstrations, THE USK OF ELECTRICITY as applied to the explosion of torpedoes was illus- trated by the firing of a service fuse. His Majesty also examined with attention the drawings of the Lay torpedo, which is now on exhibition at Philadelphia. When all the interesting points had been visited Captain Breese invited his distinguished guests to take a peep at his quarters, which proved to be only an excuse to offer some needed refreshment. His Majesty, in taking leave of the officers, expressed his thanks for the courtesy which had been ex- tended to him. Captain Breese, Lieutenant Brad- ford and Lieutenant Buckingham accompanied His Majesty back to the ferry wharf, where he again thanked Captain Breese for his kind attention.

The report presented by Mr. Culberson, of Texas, recommending the passage of the bill, with certain amendments, was and is still authorized by a large ma- jority of the committee.

THRER HUNDRED FAMILIES HOMELESS Sr. Arsaxs, Vt,, June 18, 1876, All day long, from about nine o’clock this morning, terrific conflagration has raged in the city of St, ‘ituaved forty-three miles from St, Albans and twenty-four milos from Monsreal, at the junction of the Grand Trunk and Contral Vermont railroads, The population is about 7,000, and was classed as.one of tho most prosperous of the provincial cities. This morning, about nino o'clock, gn alarm of fire was sounded. The wind was blowing a hurricaue when the fire was discovered by somo people residing in the vicinity of Bousquet’s lumber mill, which stood near the railroad depots. In leas than fifteen minutes, and bofore tho engines arrived at tlie scene, the, fre had spread from among the numerous piies of dry timber into the immense mill, and the wind increasing in vio- lence to A LIVING HURRICANE, maddened flames, which ing every moment hike wildfire, licking the eaves of the roof of the mill, enveloping it entirely and also consuming the large iumberavhart, In twenty minutes the building and the immense wharf, with thelr combustible contemts, were a crumbling, heated tnass of ruins, Onward sped the flames, mill- fons of sparks fying in all diroctions, and Jalling in their downward courso upon the dry roofs of the houses and stores for a distance of more than a mile, The fine dwelling of Engmeer Flanders, which stood Opposite the mill, was soon on fire in several places, aud in twenty minutes thereafter was burned to the ground with nearly all its contents, the family barely escaping with their lives, The dames spread rapidly from house to house, and the entire Jength of Richelieu street, upon both sides, was in flames at the same moment, Upon tho streets were whole families PLERING FOR THRIR LIVES, and other people who resided out of reach of the de- vouring element were assisting to save what could be gotten away before the flames overtook them. The streets were full of women and children scantily dressed, running hike maniacs for places of safe shelter. Tho pitiful cries ot these people filled the air, and the ‘scene was distressing to behold. In tho arms of strong men wore scanty bundios of cloching, with which they had been ablo to rush forth trom their burning homes. Mothers, daughters and sons were striving to save their effects as well as the lives of tno children, which wero in great danger, Seven hotels, nine churches, the Custoin House, Post Office, United States Consulate, two banks, docks, vessels in the river, a portion of a bridge over the Richelieu River, the St. Johns woolen mills (employgng sixty hands), stono china warerooms and 250 stores und houses, comprising the ENTIRE BUSINESS PORTION of the town was in flames at one time, and to-mght seven-eighths of St. Johns lies smouldering in ashes. The Henan reporter, by a circuitous route, roacked the extreme end of the town, where at one o'clock the flares were extinguished for tho want of material to feedgupon, The sight was a horrifying one, the smoke rolling into the clear blue heavens in black volumes, Upon the vacant tlelds could bo seon groups of heart-broken and homeless people keeping strict watch over what little they had been ab‘e to save, ‘THE LORS OF LIFE was at first supposed largo, but it bas been ascertained that only three are missing and two known to be so severely burned that they will probably die. One is a raving maniac, A French woman, who was endeavor- ing to save her valuables from her bedroom, was un- ablo to make her escape and was burned to death, A visit at five o'clock this afternoon along the back streets and Into the burned distriet showed the result to be the entire destruction of the business portion of the city. The houses upon Richelieu, Champlain and Front streets are entirely consumed, with all their con- tents; not a store of any description is left standing in tho town, and the people who are homeless could be seen seeking temporary sholter and assistance, At St. Jobns there aro situated large government barracks, and the Governor General of the Dominion has authorized Mr. Marchand, member of Parliament, to tako immediate possession of thom and placo THE NOMELES® POPULATION in them, To-night over 300 families will be quartered therein. There is no food of any description in St, Jobns adequate to meet the immediate wants of the unfortunates, Montreal or St. Albans will probably be called on to furnish supplies for the present, ra THR LOSS is estimated at over $1,000,000. Most of the Insurances are in English companies, although the Aitna and Hart- ford compantes are reported as quite heavy losers. The English companies and the amounts are as fol- fed the were spread- THK INSURANCE. Royal Canadian, $64,000; Stadacona, of Quebec, $53,200; Citizens’, of Montreal, $7,800; Provincial, of Toronto, $22,000; National, of Montreal, $22,000, and Agricultural, $6,500, About seventy merchants aro burned out, and years must elapse before ¢he town can hope to regain its position of yesterday, AID AFFORDED. Aid was telegraphed for from St, Albans and Mon- treal, Tho fire department of this place responded as promptly as possible, teaching St. Johns by special train in less than an hour, and ald from Montreal ar- rived at about the seme time. When the Henaun rep- Fosentative left, at six o’clock, the rains were smould- ering and the sceno was one of utter desolation.
