WEDNESDAY. JULY IS, 1874.
To Business Hen.
We respectfully call attention to the
value of the Savannah Morning News as
an advertising medium. Its circulation
is CREATES THAN THAT OE ANY PAPER PUB
LISHED in the State, and in Southern
Georgia - and throughout Florida, it vir
tually enjoys a monopoly, thus offer
ing to our merchants who derive
their business from those sections the
heal means of reaching their customers.
A business man wants something more
than seeing his advertisement in print,
he wants circulation to «ict, it pay.
Those who wish to make their business
known should avail themselves of our
columns. Our prices for advertising will
compare favorably with those of any
first class newspaper in the country.
Brother Beecher’s Iliad.
Since the publication of Tilton’s sng-
gestive letter to Dr. Bacon, some weeks
ago, in regard to brother Beecher, that
lascivious comedian and his supposed
amours have been the subject of much
comment. Brother Beecher himself, to
do him justice, has been somewhat af
fected by it. Sunday before last bo
preached from the second chapter of
Fhillippians, fourth verse: “Look not
every man on his own things, but every
man also on the things of others;” and
quite recently, while bidding his congre
gation farewell, this sanctimonious mount
ebank remarks with a savour of pathos: “I
have it strongly impressed upon me that
I shall never meet with my people again.”
It is impossible to know whether the
great Plymouth moralist threatens sui
cide or resignation, or whether he fears
expulsion, but in either event his remark
is sufficiently suggestive. In connection
with tko examination now progressing in
Plymouth Church, it is a significant
fact that the committee is one of Beech-
f-r’s own choosing, and it seems more
than probable that their report will
amount to a very thin attempt at white-;
washing. Throughout this miserable
business Beecher and his friends seem to
have been oblivious to the fact that be is
to be tried before a much higher and a
much more impartial bar than Plymouth
Church—the bar of public opinion.
A New Idea in Ship-Building.—M. A.
( lluet, a French engineer, holds it to be a
mistake to make ships force their bulk
through the water, meeting thereby the
large opposing surface of water and a
sliding friction over the whole of their
immersed surface. This, M. Huet holds,
is as great a mistake as if we were to dis
mount our railway carriages from their
wheels and drag them like sledges along
the rails. He puts forward the theory
rap- that vessels should be mounted on rolling
drums; that these drums should give
principally the power of flotation, and
S’, that they should be driven round as pad
dles to move the ship forward. We
should in this way have a floating loco
motive, mounted on its supporting wheels
or rollers. The vessel would offer no
resistance but a rolling one to motion,
and the whole of the supported weight of
the ship would be used ns a pressure to
give adhesive frictional effect to the
rollers. In this way M. Huet affirms that
a velocity equal to that of our railroad
trains might bo attained at sea.
Retribution.—A few years ago, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer, Harriet Beecher
Stowe, the sister of the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, deemed it her duty to resurrect
from the almost forgotten past the scan
dals against the immortal poet, Lord
Byron, growing out of his relations with
liis wife. She even went to the length of
charging him with the crime of incest
with his sister. The book was a most
shameful one, and by its nature incapable
of doing any good. Retribution has come.
Her brother is in a much worse position
than Lord Byron ever was. None of
Byron’s liaisons rest upon such solid
evidence ns that of Beecher with Mrs.
Tilton. The purist, who went out of her
way to assail the greatest of English
writers, now has an opportunity for de
fense in her own household. There is a
law of recompense on retribution, of
which Mrs. Stowe is now fully aware.
The wife of her brother is another Lady
Byron in injury, and as such she will
descend to history.
The Freedman’s Savings Bank and
its Victims.
Hie losses inflicted upon the negroes
of the South by the failure of-the Freed
man’s Savings Blink are very great, when
computed merely by dollars and cents,
and the deluded victims of' that financial
fraud are entitled to our sincerest sym
pathy and pity. But their ‘ mere monied
loss, great as it is, sinks into insignifi
cance in comparison with the still more
serious injury it will do to their race if
they permit it to dissuade them from the
formation of habits of economy, or to
discourage them from making provision
for their future support. Undoubtedly,
in this instance their confidence has been
shamefully abused; but we trust their
faith in the honesty of their fellow meh
has hot been so entirely overthrown as to
cause them to relapse into habits of im
providence through despair of finding
any safe depository for their savings.
If their present losses, says the Louis
ville Ledger, only teach them more cau
tion for the future, their experience,
though doarly bought, will be valuable.
One of the lessons they should learn
from this failure is to disconnect their
business operations entirely from political
projects. The Freedman’s Saving Bank,
thongh ostensibly a business enterprise,
was really a political machine, concocted,
engineered and managed by the Radicals
in the interests of the Radical party; and
now that it is to be wound up, a great
part of its funds, the hard earnings and
savings of our industrious Southern
negroes, will go into the pockets of Radi
cal receivers, appointed to administer
upon its effects.
In nearly all our Southern towns and
cities there are savings banks, which
have long been established, and which
are managed by responsible men well
known in their respective communities.
Let the colored men select these banks
for their savings, eschewing all connec
tion with new fangled institutions and
unknown men who make magnificent
promises to induce the confiding, and un
suspecting blacks to intrust them with
their money. In this manner they may
make secure provision for the wants of
their declining years.
We would at the same time* warn the
depositors of the Freedman’s Bonk not
to dispose too hastily of their claims upon
the Bonk at a ruinous sacrifice. It is
unfortunately true that an institution in
the condition of this bank is not likely
to make large returns to its depositors,
and, under the most favorable circum
stances, the losses will probably be heavy,
while the ignorance of most of the suf
ferers, and their natural anxiety to realize
something at as early a day as possible,
renders them peculiarly liable to become
the prey of sharpers and speculators,
who, better informed than the negroes can
possibly be, may attempt to buy their
claims at a heavy discount.
We know that many very industrious
and deserving negroes in this city and
State have been made the victims of this
Freedman’s Savings Bank, and we sym
pathize with their misfortune, and desire
to mitigate it as much as possible.
We have no reliable data in our posses
sion from which to estimate the proba
ble value of their claims, but we advise
all the depositors if any proposition is
made to them to sell, decline acceding to
it until they can consult with some one
competent to advise them.
Madame Bazaine, having obtained per
mission to share the prison with her hus
band, has been with him for many months.
She has therefore subjected hezself to
voluntary imprisonment, as she is per
mitted only the same liberties as the ex-
Marsha]. Her only promenade is the
terrace of the prison, and here these two
exiles—the one the victim for the sins’ of
French vanity and the other the sacrifice
of wifely devotion—can be seen taking
their lonely walks by the monotonous
walls of the gloomy pile which forms
their place of detention. Lately their
sons and only daughter have arrived and
taken np their abode on the Island of
Sainto Marguerite. Madame Bazaine is a
native of the Mexican city of San Bias,
and was married by the Marshal while in
Mexico. The ladies of this district are
said to be the most beautiful in Mexico,
exquisite in form, with charming vivacity
of feature, and heavy masses of coal-
black hair. Many wed Europeans, and
many more are sought by the wealthy
families of the City of Mexico itself. In
the political turmoil of France the exiles
are nearly forgotten.
Mr. Schuyler Colfax is more economical
than the celebrated temperance lecturer
who paid the expenses of a confirmed
druuknrd to accompany him everywhere
in the character of a “dreadful example.”
Mr. Schuyler Colfax is leoturing now in
the West on “The Resistless and Vic.
lorious Power of Right as Illustrated in
our History,” and he does the “dreadful
example” business himself. To be sure,
it would have been hard for him to find
in real life any such “dreadful example,”:
even among his brethren of the Credit
Mobilier, of the “resistless power of
right,” ss himself. In fiction he might
perhaps parallel it with the fate of the
meek and lowly Pecksniff. And this is
the kind of person whom the Radicals
put off on the country for years as a
“Christian slasesman.”—World.
Notwithstanding that over one hundred
millions of postal cards were sold during
the fiscal year that closed on the 30th of
June, the postage stamps sold increased
from G01,932,520 to 632,733,420. There
were also issued over 32,000,000 of offi
cial stamps for the government The
number of stamped envelopes that were
sold has not yet been made public. The
total value of all the adhesive stamps
issued was over twenty-five millions of
dollars. Doubtless the abolition of the
franking privilege has had something to
do with the increased sale of stamps. But
the postal cards were first used in the
year just closed, and their extensive use
does cot seem to have diminished the
sale of stamps in the least.
The doctors are still quarreling about
hydrophobia and the mode of dealing
with it. Dr. Hammond, of New York,
uow expresses the donbtif burning or
cauterizing a wound from the bite of a
mad dog will ensure safety. Mr. Youatt,
he says, who trusted to caustic as a pre
ventive* himself contracted hydrophobia,
and killed himself to avoid the painful
death before him.
The Pittsburg Post has added np the
cost of the Ciiineso fire-crackers on the
4th of July in five towns, and finds the
sum to be $550,000, not including lives
lost and incidental damages. It will be
seen that there are several towns yet to
hear from.
The Springfield Republican says: “When
Mr. Thomas Nast begins to tenderly
touch up General Grant with his pencil,
apropos of the executive fondness for
Boss Shepherd, the danger of a third
term cannot be pronounced imminent.
Nast shows which way the wind blows.”
The Cincinnati Gazette, in an article
upon the vanishing of the original Aboli
tionists, says:
No one was entitled to be called an
Abolitionist who did not hold slavery a
wrong which it was the duty of man to
right, without regard to existing institu
tions. William Lloyd Garrison thought
that the Constitution of the United States
recognized and protected slavery, so that
under it the Nation could not by law
abolish slavery; therefore he denounced
the Constitution as “a league with hell
and a covenant with death.” He was for
changing the Constitution; or, if it could
not be done in the Union, for dissolving
the Union. He was an Abolitionist.
Upon which the Cincinnati Enquirer
remarks: “Mr. Garrison went even further
than the Gazette states. He was a non-
resistant, and did not believe in the right
or efficacy of human government of any
description. He was something like the
Fifth Monarchy men of the days of
Cromwell in England. But afterward,
when he and his friends could have the
government run in their groove they were
all in favor of it. Circumstances changed
their position toward the government.”
A chain of ancient ruined cities has
been found in Arizona, in the Pueblo
Viego Valley, near the Gila river. These
cities Were situated about a mile apart.
In some places the walls of the houses
can still be traced; at others mounds,
some of them forty feet in height, are all
that remain. The walls are rough stone
laid in mortar. Many articles of pottery
have been recovered, together with axes,
hammers, sledges made of stone, and so
sharp and hard that they rival iron.
Moreover, a large canal, with reservoirs,
extends from the Gila river through all
these cities. Ruins like these are scat
tered over the whole of New Mexico and
Arizona. The inhabitants were probably
Mexicans of old times, although the pot
tery and mode of building seem to point
to another race now extinct.
A Pair of Trumps.
If any man under the sun has fixed
political principles tej which he adheres
consistently, that man is Loelirane. With
a mental vision keener and clearer than
the average latter-day statesman, he ab
jures all party lines, and since the invol
untary abdication of Bullock, by whom
he was so much honored and whom’ he
served so faithfully, sits calmly on the
top rail of the fence, waiting patiently
for the auspicious moment when he may
wrap bis toga about him and join the
innumerable caravan of office-holders.
The attitude of this eminent citizen is
not altogether of his own choosing. His
political loneliness is the isolation of in
tellect, and not the result of a cold and
uncongenial asceticism.
What we have here said of Lochrane,
may be applied to Col. Psalmnel Bard,
with the'exception that this noble patriot
is already safely provided for. He occu
pies the position of postmaster of At
lanta, and is a general object of envy
in that community. Occupying this
exalted position, Psalmuel has organized
a Grant Club. This flourishing society is
composed of Gov. Bard himself, as Pres
ident, the money order clerk, and two
colored route agents. With a laudable
ambition to extend the influence Of this
important organization,Psalmuel recently
addressed a letter to Lochrane, informing
him that he had been unanimously elected
a member thereof. Lochrane replies, de
clining the honor if the club is'to be run
on the social equality programme, but
declaring in favor of Grant for a third
term. This eloquent letter is too long to
be quoted -here, but the President will
doubtless long preserve it in his scrap
book. If this appeal to the country does
not secure a place for Lochrane, there is
no gratitude in Grant.
As to the social equality business, it
may bo said that -Lochrane has made him
self ineligible as a member of Psalmuel’s
club. Psalmuel himself is such a warm
advocate of the doctrine that he proposes
to stump foi Freeman in the Atlanta Dis
trict, and we should not be surprised if
he found an opportunity to contribute a
portion of his valuable time to canvassing
for the omatonr statesman who at present
occupies the seat of Hon. Morgan Rawls.
Fred Douglass is a .very smart negro.
But with all his gifts ho can’t run a bank,
as the fete of the Freedman's Savings
bank in Washington bears sad witness. The
day before the bank closed its doors in
the face of its turnons depositors, Fred
Douglass issued a'mngniloquent circular
to the branch banks of the institution,
muck in the style of his oratory, in which
he declared that in spite of the intrigues
of disloyal enemies, ihe bank was in a
prosperous condition, and would proceed
in its benevolent and humane work of
receiving deposits from the colored
brethren in the usual terms.
The Cincinnati Times has been looking
over the field in Ohio, and thinks that
about six of the eleven now members of
the Forty-third Congress from that State
will find the “one-term principle” so pop
ular in their districts that they will be
left at home this year.
The Radical Press Gag Law.—The
attempt to get Mr. Dana, editor of the
Sun, indicted in Washington for articles
published in New York, failed through
the common sense of the grand jury. If,
says the New York Times, the politicians
have already made np their minds to try
the effect of gag-laws on the press, there
is of course nothing to prevent them; but
they will discover before long that they
have done themselves far more injury
than the newspapers could ever do them.
Mr. Dana’s offense seems to have con
sisted in exposing the Washington Ring,
and, as the Congressional investigation
into that Ring substantiated his principal
charges, we are unable to agree with Mr.
Shepherd in thinking that Mr. Dona
ought to be sent to prison. Such trans
actions as that by which the swindler
Murtagh, ‘“editor” of the government
organ at Washington, obtained a con
tract for street paving, and demanded
$25,000 of a building firm for handing it
over to them, have never been explained.
Mr. Shepherd himself has never told us
what he thinks of this Murtagh business.
And it is only an example of scores of
similar cases. There were both jobbery
and robbery in the proceedings under the
now defunct Board, and if a journalist
cannot bring forward the proofs of such
offenses when they are offered to him,
we shall be compelled to acknowledge
that freedom of the press is a thing of the
past in the United States.
Tlie. Mobile Register Upon Democratic
Third Termers.
This is the way in which Hon. John
Forsyth, editor of the Mobile JBegvtUr,
writes of the third-termers:
On bis record in the past, there is not
a solitary sound reason, in logic or in
morals, why the Democrats and anti-Ad-
ministrationists among the American peo
ple should support Gen. Grant. Ho is a
full sharer'in responsibility for all the
mischief, follies and political crimes of
the Rniiiwti party, of which he is the
head. While that party was secure in its
power, he halted at nothing that it pro
posed to bolster up that power, at the ex
pense of the American Constitution and
the annihilation of the States of the
South, and of States rights every
where. If we take him now, it will be
upon his own promise to change his
poljcy. If a man has betrayed a great
trust, shall he not only be pardoned, but
reinstated in his trust on a promise of
reform? and especially when it is clear
that interest inspires his promise ! Why
not forgive Ben Butler all his villainies
and make him our standard-bearer, on his
engagement to be a better boy next time V
He has ten times Grant’s ability, and of
public virtue quite as much. If the Dem
ocratic party wishes to nominate a second
President who will inspire the best men
in its ranks to stay at home and refuse to
ratify by their votes a nomination, not
only stupid, but condemned by principles
and good morals, it will deliver its stand
ard to the keeping of Gen. Grant
If General Grant wants to try his hand
for a third term, let him run on his own
strength, or let the Radicals carry him if
they can. Conservative men of all par
ties would simply-disgrace themselves in
the eyes of- common sense and common
justice and propriety, who undertake to
support the most selfish, unpatriotic and
unprincipled chief magistrate who has
ever sat in the chair of Washington, Jef
ferson and Adams. Let the South, of all
sections, beware how they are seduced
into this montrous folly.
The Exclusive Pets op the Govern
ment.—The following is a copy of a hand
bill issued by members of the class pos
sessing transcendant rights in the way of
peculiar Federal protection, at Salisbury,
Missouri:
“HurrahJor the Colored. People !—Grand.
Picnic! ! at Salisbury, Missouri, July
Fourth.
“Adjoining towns are invited. Excur
sion tickets on the North Missouri Road

train will be run on the Glasgow Road at

Fighting J oe Hooker After Beast But
ler.—Beast Butler’s unfragrant career as
commander of the army of the James is
unexpectedly overhauled by “Fighting Joe
Hooker.” The latter soldier makes a seri
ous charge. He says he stands ready to
prove that Butler plundered negro troops
by the wholesale. He made thorn deposit
their money and valuables at his head
quarters “for safe keeping.” Says Gen.
Hooker: “When one of those poor devils
got knocked over and put under ground,
do you suppose the money he had left at
Butler’s headquarters was ever heard of
again ? Not a cent of it. It ail went to
the account and credit of Butler, who
mode at least a million dollars in this way
out of the poor negro regiments on the
James. I was with the army in Virginia,
and learned the facts about that business,
which ought to be told.”
No doubt Butler robbed the “culled
troops” of all that he could lay his
hands on, but a million of dollars is a
pretty large amount to be in their posses
sion. If they brought that amount of
money to Butler’s headquarters, the Beast
knew that they had stolen the greater
part of it from their masters, and there-
fore felt no compunction in stealing it
from them.
A writer in Notes and Queries reminds
us that Dr. Guillotin did not perish by
his own invention. “It is a remarkable
instance,” he says, “of the vitality of a
popular error, that Thackeray, who was
evidently well acquainted with French his
tory and French affairs generally, should
in his ‘Philip,’ chapter 16, have fallen
into the common mistake of supposing
that Dr. Guillotin perished by means of
the instrument which bears his name, but
which he did not, as Thackeray says, in
vent. Thackeray does not actually assert
that Guillotin died on the guillotine, but
he puts it in the form of a question, the
answer to which is, of course, intended to
be yes: ‘Was not good Dr. Guillotin exe
cuted by his own neat invention ?’ Now,
nothing, I suppose, is more certain than
that Guillotin survived the great revolu
tion many years, and died a natural death
in 18X4.”
Hi noticing the steady increase of the
trade, by lines of schooners, between
Galveston and Tuxpan, Tampico and Vera
Cruz, the Galveston News states that a
steamship will soon be placed in this
trade. The schooners take ont cargoes
of lumber and general merchandise, and
bring back Mexican cedar, fustic, fibre,
honey, sugar, molasses and tropical fruits.
Most of the imports are reshipped at
Galveston, by regular ocean steamers, to
Liverpool.
New Orleans is promised in the fall
two lines of steamers for the Mexican
trade.
The trade in fireworks this year Has
been rather a failure, and there are many
people who would fail, to mourn if the
whole trade in Chinese fire crackers was
annihilated. About 250,000 boxes were
imported at New York this season, but
many of them remain in the Custom
House, owing to the dullness of trade,
while the estimate is that not more than
100,000 boxes were sold, which would bo
some 30,000 boxes less than last year.
The wholesalers have been pretty well
satisfied with their trade, but the retailers
lost money, as the patriotism of the juve
niles expended itself less upon crackers
this year than usual.
Quite a valuable pearl was found recent
ly in a clam-shell, in abrook at Wildraliam,
Mass.; it is of perfect globe shape, and

. V •- A
Little Johnny B., of Fourteenth
street,/wanted to go to Dr. Butler’s church
yesterday. His mother was afraid he
would make a noise, but his father said,
“Johnny knows better than to make a
noise in church.” So he went. He
kept very still till the last prayer. By
that time he had grown tired sitting
still, and was standing on the pew cush
ion with bis back to the pulpit. When
the lady in the next seat bowed her head
for prayer Johnny thought she was crying.
He leaned over and said to the lady in a
tone that was meant for a whisper,
but which was only too plainly heard:
‘•Poor lady! What ee matte*? Do oo
stummut ache?”—Washington Chronicle.
The late Elder Knapp once described
the terrible heat of hell by syaing that it
was so hot that if a man were taken out of
it, and plunged into the hottest fire of an
earthly furnace he would freeze to death
from the transition. Burning eloquence,
truly.
A little American girl is said to havo

you were next door to a fool.”

The Herald, at West Randolph, Vt., is
troubled in spirit. Having just beard
that President Grant is a drinking man,
this is the way it “takes on” about it:
A correspondent of the New York Sun,
in a note to that journal, affirms that
President Grant has lately had two or
three drunken sprees. He mentions one
time and place in particular, where he
was seen in a deplorably intoxicated con
dition. If Grant is an intemperate man,
if he renders himself unfit to do the busi
ness, the people of this country ought to
know it. It may be safe to assert that a
drinking President would best represent
a majority of the legal voters of this
country, but the minority would like to
be assured that the administration of
affairs of the country was in safer hands.
It is an outrage upon common decency to
have an intemperate man in the Presi
dential chair.
Bret Harte’s last story, “John Oak-
hurst," was written in a single night.
A Now York paper says: “The author
was visiting a friend in this city,
and sketched the outline of the story
in his head as he was sitting one
afternoon in Washington square. After
dinner he went to work writing it ont
and got through before breakfast the
next morning. The price paid him by
the New York Times for this production
is said to have been $500.” Why not
make it $5,000 ?
In Alabama and other Southern,States
it seems that the only issue now consid
ered by the people is that evolved from
the civil rights bill. Parties are simply
black and white, and a social as well os
political issue is made. The white man
in Alabama who now votes with the
Radical party might os well stick his
physiognomy in a tar-bucket, and wear
the contents forever.
It now appears that about seventy-five
per centum of the two hundred and five
discharged clerks of the Washington
Board of Public Works were appointed
solely upon the recommendation of Con
gressmen, and that a large number of
them are non-residents of the District.
This is probably an explanation of the
great interest evinced by Congress in the
Board of Public Works, and of the ex
treme readiness with which Congressional
aid to that body was secured.
A Bewitched Farmer.—As a solemn
warning to all Michigan farmers not to
visit New York city, the Detroit Free
Press gravely relates the following ve
racious story: “On the Gratiot rood,
within a mile and a half of the Conner’s
Creek Post Office, lives or lived a farmer
named Barbier, for it is probable that he
is dead ere this, as he was barely alive
Friday. For the last five years the farm
er has led a terrible life, having been, os
he asserted, bewitched or cursed by an
old crone. He was visiting in Now York
when the old woman, tramping through
the country, called at the house to beg.
Regarding her as an imposter, he address
ed her in language which provoked her
wrath, and she pronounced a curse
upon him.- He scouted the idea
of her being able to injure him,
but one day, a month later, while at work
in the field on his farm, he commenced
screaming and shouting, and from that
day has never been in his right mind,
except at rare intervals, and then tor only
a few hours at a time. He has had spells
of screaming when he wonld shriek hour
after hour the whole day long, or until
hoarse and exhausted. At other times nc
has been sulky and morose, refusing to
speak or move. Two weeks ago he com
menced screaming, and made no pause
until too weak to open his month. Fri
day he was so weak that death was hourly
expected, and, thongh unable even to
whisper, his chest rose and fell like a pair
of bellows. During the five years since
be was first affected he has had. many
doctors, and while some said he was in
sane, others called the case a strange one
which they could not fathom. His friends
have persistently declared that he was
bewitched by the old hag, and once or
twice efforts have been mode to find her
in order that she might be induced to
remove the curse.
THE FIBE FIEND.
Washington, July 14.—Telegrams re
ceived here to-night report another large
fire in Chicago which has destroyed over
half a mile of the southern portion of
the city. It began on Twelfth street on
the south side and so far it has been con
fined to old rookeries, but it is feared
that it will extend to the lake side. The
wind is blowing fresh from the southwest.
The Baptist Church has been destroyed
and at this time the flames have reached
the post office. Assistance has been
asked from all adjoining towns. Tele
graphic communication is nearly sus
pended.
Chicago, July 14.—Another conflagra
tion is raging in the heart of the city.
It broke out in 12th street, and at half
past six o’clock the flames had made an
almost clean sweep np to the comer of
3rd Avenue and Polk’s, burning up the
homes of thousands of people. At the
above comer the fire department com
menced the process of blowing np build
ings with gunpowder, but the buildings
experimented with were small wooden
affairs, and the process would only have
the effect of making a quicker blaze of
them. The wind is blowing very fresh
from about south southwest. The fire is
now on the verge of the fire line of our
big fire at Harrison street. The west side
of Wabash avenne is now in a full blaze,
which takes many a stately building in its
course, which offered a haven of refuge
in the winter of 1871. The fire is just
immediately in the rear of the Baptist
Church; and should that structure go
down, Hie fire will have a clean sweep to
the northward and eastward, and the Ex
position building will in all likelihood be
the final prey of the fire; and as that is
immediately on the lake shore there will
be nothing for the flames to feed npon,
provided we have the good fortune not to
have a change of wind.

THE CHICAGO FIRE.
Chicago, July 14.—A dense black paU
of smoke is hanging over the expected
course of the fire, stopping its advance
messengers of cinders on the roofs of the
buildings. Although private citizens ate
doing their utmost to prevent the fire
from getting a hold npon their homes,
yet their efforts are as futile as for a child
to make the attempt. The roar of the
advancing furnace has the sound of
onr old calamity, and nothing short of its
final plunge into Lake Michigan will
quench it. Onr streets, within six miles
of the conflagration, are crowded with
teams of every description loaded to their
utmost capacity with household goods,
although storekeepers, who are so fortu
nate as to secure a team, are endeavoring
to save their most valuable stock. Wher
ever a vacant space north of the fire can
be found, it is at once filled with goods
of all descriptions and varieties. Men,
women and children are doing all they
can to save their little all and bring it to
some place of safety. The' fire from
this will burn up os much in five minutes
as it b«s previously burned in fifteen, con
sidering the value of dollars and cents.
The heat is very great and there is no
doubt that? in addition to the pecuniary
loss, we will have to mourn the loss
of lives, as it is next to impossible for a
fire of this magnitude and fury, burning
through as closely settled a district as
this without human sacrifice. As the post
office is directly in line with'the fire, its
employes will have all they can do to save
the mail matter in the building, and con
sequently there will be no mails from the
city this evening, and there can, by no
possibility) Ee one sent before to-morrow
afternoon.
The principal lines of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, running east
throngh State street, have all been burnt
—some forty wires in all—but as the lines
on Canal street are out of all possible
danger, there will be no interruption of
telegraphic communication. The fire has
bfirnt over so far about half a mile in
length and some four blocks in width, and
although the explosion of gunpowder is
still heard every little while, there is but
little hopes of staying the fire short of
the limits given above.
Later.—The fiee broke out at the
comer of 12th and Harrison streets, and
has now swept to the comer of Harrison
and Lake streets. The Post Office has
been destroyed. The contents were saved:
The Gardiner and Matteson houses are
in danger. The firemen have no control
over the flames, and the excitement is
intense.
torpedo boats.
Washington, July 14.—The new tor
pedo boat Intrepid, recently launched at
Boston, will make a trial trip to Key
West, where experiments as to her prac
tical workings will be made. A number
of officers have already been ordered to
her, most of whom have been on dnty at
the torpedo station at Newport This
vessel is about 450 tons burden, and was
designed by Naval Constructor Hanscom,
Chief of the Bureau of Construction.
Another torpedo boat, now being built
at New. York, was designed by Admiral
Porter, but is smaller than the one just
launched, being of 340 tons. No name
has yet been fixed npon for the vessel,
but it is proposed to call her the Alarm.
The two vessels are very different in de
sign and finish from thejnu r.owbeing built
at New York, and will be brought here to
the Washington Navy Yard, khdrthr after
being launched, to receive her o •: *. as
well as the “fouler wheel,” a new /re
pelling instrument never before used on
a vessel, designed by Admiral Porter.
She will be armed with an eleven-inch
gun, but that designed by Mr. Hanscom
will cany no guns. The object of these
vessels is to explode torpedoes under the
enemy’s ships by mean- of arms and
prows to which the torpedoes ore at
tached.
THE GRASSHOPPER PLAGUE.
St. Paul, Minn., July 14.—Alluding to
the impression which seems to be preva
lent at the East, that in nearly the entire
State of Minnessota the crops are utterly
destroyed, the Press this morning pub
lishes a statement showing that the total
damage done by the grasshopper raid is
equivalent simply to a loss of about one-
twelfth of the usual crop, or about the
same as if the average, yield throughout
the State was diminished from any source
something over one and a half bushels
per acre below the general average. It
extends over only about one-tenth of the
area of the State, and involves about one-
thirteenth of the population. The crops
outside the devastated region promise a
most abundant yield.
THE BEECHER BUSINESS.
New York, July 14.—The Brooklyn
Argus this evening says: “We have
from the highest sources an admission
that the friends of Beecher are endeavor
ing to effect a compromise which shall
prevent the publication of the statement
promised by Tilton. Theodore Tilton’s
wife has been before the committee. She
has given evidence contradictory of her
husband’s version'of the matter, and a
disagreement has resulted between man
and wife. Mrs. Tilton has left her hus
band andis now sojourning with a family,
the frien4> of Mr. Beecher.
ERIE.
New York, July 14.—The stockholders
of the Erie Railroad met to-day for the

OLD MAN SPINNER.
Washington, July 14.—Treasurer Spin
ner has threatened to tender his resigna
tion, in case his views regarding the sole
management of the Bureau under hja
charge are not approved by those higher
in authority than himself. Gen. Spin
ner’s dissatisfaction grows ont of a con
flict of opinion between himself and
other prominent officers of the Treasury
with reference to the appointment of
clerks in his own Bureau.
THE CENTENNIAL.
PhtTaIDkIaPhia, July 14.—At the Cen
tennial Commission rooms to-day, a
communication from the Japanese
Minister of Foreign Affairs to Min
ister Bingham, announcing the in
terest Japan takes in the Centennial
celebration was read, saying that parties
in Japan who wish to exhibit Japanese
productions win receive government as
sistance, and probably a Japanese mission
will be sent here to participate in the
celebration.

Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic.
In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the lethargy produced by the
heat takes away the desire for wholesome food,
and frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy,
particularly those suffering from the effects of de
bilitating diseases. In* order to keep a natural
healthful activity of the system, we must resort
to artificial means. For this purpose Schcnck’a
Seh Weed Tonic is very effectual. A few doses
will create an appetite and give fresh vigor to the
enervated body. For dyspepsia, it is invaluable.
3Iany eminent physicians have doubted whether
dyspepsia fan be permanently cored by the drugs
which are generally employed for that purpose.
The Sea Weed Tonic in its nature is totally differ
ent from such drugs. It contains no corrosive
minerals or acids; in fact it assists the regular
operations of nature, and supplies her deficien
cies. The tonic in its nature so much resembles
the gastric juice that it is almost identical with
that fluid. The gastric juice is the natural solvent
which, in a healthy condition of the body, causes
the food to be digested; and when this juice is
not excreted in sufficient quantities, indigestion,
with all its distressing symptoms, follows. The
Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty of the east
juice when the latter is deficient. Schenck’s Sea
Weed Tonic sold by all druggists.
