The fire originated in a pile, of empty cement bags near the engine bouse, probably from spark.

The woodwork of the building was totally destroyed, which practically means the destruction of the whole concern, as the machinery is supposed to be ruined, i. The works were used by the Barber; As phalt Company under a lease. It was im possible this morning to obtain an estimate tf the loss. The superintendent H. J.

Warren, was on the ground, bat declined to rive an esti mate of the loss. The building alone repre sented about 110.000. Tbe total loss will de pend on tbe damage to the machinery.

Applause. Now I believe in the Republican party. Applause. I had ray Republicanism in two ways. First, by birth, and second, by conviction.

When a man gets it either way it is bad enough and thorough enough and ab sorbing enough, but when he gets it both ways, boys, it means business. Applause. This State has no use for men who art cow ards, It had use Jor ('them fa 1SG0; it had no use for them since. The Staite needs brave men men who have convictions, and men who are brave enough to fieht for those convictions. I am not going to discuss all the issues that; have di vided the party from the Republican party for 25 years.

I will not discuss all the isues that separate us today, last year or the year before, but simply remark in passing that the two great parties have stood foe: centuries. They mean iome-r thing, and the Republican party baa been the purty of progress; it has initiated very great force that has moved the party onward and upward toward a 'fuller and more complete recognition of. the dignity of free manhood, a free suffrage and a free press, 3 There is no room for any honest difference of opinion, and the best indication of -having been right is found in the fact that for three or four years back our enemy has been! camp ing out on our: bid camping ground. Applause. Who of them would now dare to chal lenge the rightfulness of manhood suffrage; who of them would now challenge the Correctness of the resumption of spiecie payment; who of jtbem would now dare question tbe excellence of our entire public school svstem; who of them would now be found to reiterate the platforms of '61, of 'C3, of '72?

New-York, Sept 28. Herman Melville, well-known literary man, died last night at his home, No. 104 East 26th Street He was the author of several popular seafaring stories and volumes of poems.

He was born in this city on August 1, 1819. 1 Melville bad distinguished ancestors. His paternal grandfather, Thomas Melvill, was a member of the Boston teaparty, served in the and is believed to have been the last American that adhered through life to the cocked hat He died in 1832. His maternal grandfather was Gen. Gansevoort of Albany, the celebrated Revolutionary soldier who successfully defended Fort Stanwix, now Rome, against St Leger.

His father Allan was a merchant and a traveler of literary tastes. At the age of 18, Herman shipped as a sailor before the mast for Liverpool, in 1841 he sailed around Cape Horn in the Dolly for a whaling cruise in the South, Pacific. The treatment of captain was so harsh that Melville and a companion resolved to leave the ship. One day in the summer of t'42 while tbe Dolly lay in the harbor of Nukahiva in the Marquesas Islands, thev escaped. Tbe island is about twice as large as Grand Islahd in the Niagara River, and has a mountain peak 4.000 feet high.

The island was inhabited by two tribes of cannibals, the Typees and the Happars, the former warlike and jthe latter, friendly. and his companion lost their way and fell among the Typees, who asked him if he was friendly to Typee or Happar. "I paused for a second, writes Melville, "and I know not by what impulse it was I answered The piece bf dusky statuary nodded in approval, and then murmured, Mortarkee? 'Mortarkee. said I. without further hesitation Typee Tbe dark figures around us leaped to theit? feet clapped their hands in transport and shouted again and again ihe talismanic syllables, the utterance of -which appeared to bave: settled everything." Melville was held for four months, but his companion soongot away, After a while Melville himself was rescued by an Australian whaler after a hard fight He spent two years more in the Pacific, and on his return home, published in 1846 "Typee; a Peeo at Polynesian Life During a Four Months' Residence a Valley I of the Mar quesas;" The book was very successful.

It was dedicated to Chief Justice Lemuel Shaw of Massachusetts, whose daughter Melville afterward married. In 1850 Melville re moved to Plttsfield, but subsequently returned to New-York, and was given a place in the Custom-house. His remaining works are "Omoo, a Narra tive t'tf Adventures in the South Seas; and a Voyage Thither;" 'Redburn, "White Jacket or the World in a Man-of-War;" "Moby Dick, or tbe White Whale; "Pierre, or the Ambiguities; "Israel, His Fifty Years of Exile;" "The Piazza Tales; The Confidence Man;" Pieces and Aspects of the War; a volume of poems (1866) and "Clarel, a Pilgrimage in the Holy Land, a poem (two volumes, 1876.)
