Me., August 13.—Presi- J dent Harrison received warm greeting on his arrival here to-day on his return from a visit by the midday boat. He breakfasted | with Senatcr Hale this morning. Subse quently Hon. Jonn B. Reiman, recently j of i the democratic candidate for governor: j Mr. Nicholas, of Minneapolis, and other i gentlemen called on the president. Then Senator Haie drove Mr. Harrison and Sec- j retaries Blaine and Tracey in his carriage to the depot,the other members of the party ! following. On aoard tae ferry boat the president seated himself in a deck chair, j at the stern, the other members of the j party sitting aronnd, and chatted with j Blaine and others. The weather was : charming. A ten minutes shower had j just passed over, and the dav was just bright enough to make the sail delightful, j At tne Bar Harbor wharf a good sized I crowd greeted the president, and cheered j vigorou ly as he passed along to a car- j riage, which was to take himself and friends to Stanwood. It has been decided that Mr. Harrison will not visit Providence oa his return trip, but will t ike a boat a: Fall River to- | morrow. He will be accompanied to Bath the registry division—not in the 3ame room with the young lady, but In another. This young lady and her father, who was super intendent of the registry division and had the assignment of cierks, both resigned be cause the negro had been appointed to a piace in the office, and not oecause an at tempt had been made to piace the negro at tne same desk with the young iady. From this grew all the trouble in Atlanta and the effort to utilize the incident for party prejudice. The insincerity of this cry is shown by the fact that there were four negro cierks in the Atlanta postoffice under the demo cratic postmaster, and for six years the young white lady has been at the stamp window selling stamps to all people, biack and white. There is nothing in the mat ter for the department to act upon, and there is nothing in the action of Postmas ter Lewis to oe criticised by fair minded people. Instead of doing anything vio lently against southern prejudice toward the negroes, the postmaster sought, in making appointments, to obviate any grouni for objecton on account of such prejudice. In the postal service we find many of our efficient men among the colored men. We have, probably, hundreds of them in the service altogether, and they make a good average record. A REMARKABLE CAREER.

I told ’em ' to turn me lease, and give me a chance. As Bohnefeld threw the box at me I ducked my head. It struck me on the back aud fell to the floor. I then plunged my knife in his arm hoping to disable him, for I was dead scared of him. I remembered afterwards cutting him over the eye, &rd his saying to me ‘you’ve got a knife.’ I said ‘yes.’ He then said, ‘I’ve got enough,’ and I said ‘ail right,’ and walked out of the room. I went back after my nat. which was lying on the floor, but finding it torn up, I came out and left it.

Washington, August 13.—The depart- | met of state has received from the legation at Pekin, China, under date of July 3, an account of the death and extraordinary : life work of Rev. J. Coosett, independent | American missionary in Cnina. His career : appears to have been a very remarkable one, characterized by absolute self-devo tion. He died os the steamer Eldorado tn route from Shanghai to Tienstsin, on the } 1st of June last. He leaves a widow living ■ at Scuyiersvilie, N. Y. In speaking of Mr. I Coosett, Minister Decoy couples his name | with that of Father Damien, the French missionary who lately died on the island of Moloka, and says: Crossett's life was devoted to doing good j to the poorest classes cf Chinese.

Thirty-live Buil,lings at Truckee Deslroyed by Pi re. han Francisco, August 13.—News has oeen received here that tire broke out at Truckee Lake yesterday afternoon and burned thirty-five buildings iu the business portion of the town. The flames were first discovered in the residence of Engineer Diiley, of the Southern Pacific railroad. The fire train, which was stationed at Summit, was dispatched to the scene and lent much assistance. Among the build iegs burned were the public school house, two churches and the American hotel. The amount ot the loss, which is necessa rily very large, is not yet learned. The citizens of Truckee have been ridding the town of questionable characters, and the impression prevails that the fire was started by incendiaries. What little news has been received from the unfortunate town does not confirm this theory. Truckee, August 13 —A disastrous fire occurred here at 4:30 o'clock yesterday af ternoon, burning ail east ot Bridge street aud north of the railroad to the round house. The American hotel, Irwin’s liv ery stables, the Methodist and Catholic churches, two school houses, Ellen’s lum ber yard. Good Templars’ hall, and thirty dwellings were burned, rendering many families homeless. Loss about £75.000. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Extent of Business Done in Listed and l u- Usted Stocks Yesterday. New York, August 13.—The stock mar ket to-day was reactionary in its tendency, though this was met by a continued good demand for leading specialties, which re sulted in a feverish and irregular market, with wide and sudden fluctuations in a few specialties, while the general list was traded in over a narrow range of values. London figures this morning were again very much higher than our figures last evening, but traders were bent upon a re action ana the opening was irreg ular, though generally higher, and the improvement in some of the list extended to i per cent. The pressure upon the list, however, forced oft quota tions in most cases, to something oelow Srst prices, and Chicago aud East Illinois '■-ocks were as conspicuous for weakness tj lay as they were yesterday for •Lrengvh.

This company operates mines at Braidwood, LaSalie, Seatonville and other places, and has grown tired of the repeated strikes. If the miners of these places desire to re sume work, they will have to do it very quickly.

Attempt to Blow Up a Newspaper Man. Lexington, Ky.. August 13.—A das tardly attempt was made here yesterday to assassinate D L Baxter, a well-known newspaper correspondent, by the explo sion of a deadly m ichine which was left at the Leader office, directed to that gentle man. There was sufficient dynamite in the parcel to have olown up any building in the city, and it only failed to aecorm plish its deadly purpose because the per cussion matebes d.d not ignite. The parcel was taken to the offia by a negro boy. There being no suspicious look to the parcel, he paid no attention to the appear ance of the lid. It is believed by some town of Ric-hiand, in Stewart county. The following bills passed: To incorporate the Augusta and West Florida railroad. A game law for Burke county.

How much could the value of the road be depreciated if every section boss and his hands were taken off, and ail repairs stopped for eighteen months ?
