TRIUMPHS IN TUB LATE LARGE FIRE !

BELL & HULL’S LETTER.
Savannah, Ga., February 24,1871.
Messrs. Herring, Farrel & Sherman, 251
Broadway, New York :
Gents.—The large and destructive fire of
February22nd, consumed the building occu
pied by us. We were using one of your Her
ring’6 Patent Champion Safes, made sixteen
years ago. It contained Seven Hundred Dol
lars in money, our books and valuable papers.
We were unable to get the safe open until
eighteen hours after the fire. We found the
contents in excellent condition; the only injury
was the binding of the books, drawn by the
Steam. This test of the fire-proof quality of
your safes was a severe one, as all can testify
who saw the fire. The amount of combusti
ble materials of the building itself, added to the
cotton and other goods stored in it, made as
hot a fire as often occurs.
Respectfully yours;
BELL & HULL.

Messrs. Herring, Farrel Sf Sherman, 251
Broadway, New York:
Gents.—I had one of your Herring’s Patent
Champion Safes in the fire of Wednesday
night, February 22d. It remained in the ruins
thirty-six hours before it could be opened. My
stock of goods (being a wholesale liquor mer
chant) made a very hot fire, thoroughly testing
the quality of the safe. It contained some
money, my books and papers two gold watches
two silver goblets, and other valuables. All of
them are preserved iu fine order. The covers
of the books are drawn by the steam. It was
a genuine test, and your Champion Safe has
done me excellent service. The fire was one
of the hottest that ever took place iu this city.

Messrs. Domic, Moise Sf Davis, Charleston

Dear Sirs ; I have prescribed in my prac
tice the Moise’s Fever and Ague Pills sent
me, in several cases of Chronic Chill and Fe
ver, both among my white and colored pa
tients. with great success, they having effec
ted a Prompt and Permanent Cure in every
case, where all other medicines have failed. I
note particularly my colored patients, because
they are more exposed, and less likely to
take care of themselves when the Chill leaves
them.
I regard Moise’s Fever and Ague Pills as a
Certain Care, and a blessing to all living in
the Malarious districts of the South, and par
ticularly in the everglades of our State.
Very respectfully, yours,

Weston’s Walk.
FOUR HUNDRED MILES IN LESS THAN
FIVE DAYS.
At 11:47, last evening, Weston
completed the last round of his four
hundredth mile, and was enthusias
tically cheered by the great con
course of people that had assembled
to witness the completion of this ex
traordinary exhibition of human en
durance. Weston started on his
fifth day’s walk at 4:43 A. M., hav
ing slept a little more than tour
hours. He had then just eighty
miles to walk, twenty of which lie
finished at 10:5 A. M., when he stop
ped for breakfast, and also took a
short rest, in all occupying about 20
minutes. At 10:25 A,3L, he start
ed again, and did not make another
rest until he had completed 50 miles,
which he made in ten hours and fif
ty-three minutes. This was at 9:17
P. M. He then took a hearty sup
per, and exchanged the velvet suit,
in which he had so long walked, for
silk tights, with ornamented tunic.
During the last five miles, both
Weston and the audience were a-
roused to an intense state of excite
ment ; the latter cheering almost
continually, and the former winning
applause by walking backwards,
running, jumping and performing
many playful tricks in order to dem
onstrate the large amount of physi
cal force he yet held in reserve. The
Rink is one-seventh of a mile in cir
cumference and during the 39Gth
mile he made this distance, walking
backward, in 3 minu es and 00 sec
onds. The last five miles were
made at the following rales: OOGth
in 13 min. 40 sec.; 397th in 13 nun.
40 sec.; 39Sth in 12 min. 56 sec.;
399th in 12 min. 45 sec.; and 400ih
in 11 min. 7 sec.
At the conclusion of the last round
he had 18 minutes to spare; and as
he turned to the assembly, his face
glowing with success, he was seized
by two men, who, placing him on
their shoulders, ran with him round
the place over which he had walked
2,800 times. When brought hack
to this dressing-room the crowd gath
ered round him, and Prof. Doremus,
who had acted as his medical advi
ser, having succeeded in quieting
the uproar, said that the feat, which
they had seen thus successfully com
pleted, was of immense importance
to the scientific world, and in the
name of science he thanked Mr.
Weston for this practical trial of en
durance, more severe than anything
that had happened from the time oT
Adam to the present day.
It was also a temperance sermon,
preached in an all powerful manner; I
for if what is ordinarily known as and robe are redolent of incens
haunts; but he finally yielded, and
the round sum of $50,000 carried
him, and what was supposed to be
the last remnant of Seminoles, from
Florida to the West.
But there arc those who still lin
gered in the Everglades. They look
refuge in the swamps of the lower
portion of the peninsula, where they
have since remained—some three
hundred in number—in entire seclu
sion, no whites, excepting one or
two Methodist missionaries, having
penetrated their settlement, and sub
sisting no one can hardly tell how.
A Lite report of a missionary de
scribes them ns at least a srmi-reli-
gious people, keeping the Sabbath
and exhibiting moral anti intelligent
trails of character ; in personal ap
pearance, coming up to the old type
of the red man, of which the Semi
holes are good specimens. In pur
suit of a more salubrious residence
and better hunting ground, they are
moving southward, from which fact
an inference is drawn that the lower
portion of Florida is gradually ris
ing and becoming more capable of
human habitation.
Perfuming Oneself.
The fondness for perfuming them
selves prevails to an excess among
Arab ladies of the present da}’. Sir
Samuel Raker, in his very interest
ing volume upon the Nile Tributa
ries of Abyssinia, says of them—
“Not only are the Arabs particular
in iheir pomade, bul great attention
is bestowed upon perfumery, espe
cially by the women. Various per
fumes are brought from Cairo by
the traveling native merchants,
among which those most in demand,
are oil of roses, oil of sandal-wood,
an essence from the blossoms of a
species of mimosa, essence of musk
and oil of cloves.” He then goes on
to tell us of the peculiar process
made use ol by the Arab ladies in
perfuming.
“In the floor of the hut or tent, as
it may chance to be, a small hole is
excavated sufficiently large to con
tain a common champagne bottle; a
fire of charcoal or of simply glowing
embers is made within the hole, in
to which the woman about to be
scented throws a handful of drugs;
she then takes off the cloth or tope
which forms her dress and crouches ’
naked over the fumes, while she ar
ranges her robe to fall as a mantle
from her neck to the ground like a
tent. She now begins to perspire
freely in the hot-air ba h, and the
pores of the skin being open and
moist, the volatile oil from the smoke
of the burning perfumes is immedi
atelv absorbed. By the time the
fire has expired the scenting process
is-completed, and both her person
stimulus had been used, the feat
would never have been accomplish
ed. In response to loud calls, Mr.
Weston said that from the appear
ance of his person, as his friends
were carrying him around, they
might think that he was tired, and
not able to make a speech, but in
that they were mistaken. In the ac
complishment of this undertaking he
felt that the praise was due to Amer
ica for its inspiration, more than to
himself; and to God more than
all, who had given him strength.
He was not conceited enough to
think that in the mere doing lie de
served all the credit, as much of it
was due to his irainer, attendants,
judges and others who had interest
ed themselves in the matter. He
should not walk again unless some) men—and imagine they can gain
vviih which they are so thoroughly
impregnated that I have frequently
smelt a party of women strongly at
full a hundred yards distance when
the wind lias been blowing from
their direction.”
This scent is supposed by the A-
rab ladies to be so attractive to the
opposite sex that the great traveler
gives (he recipe for it. It is compos
ed of ginger, cloves, cinnamon,
frankincense and myrrh, a species of
sea-weed brought from the Red Sea,
and lastly the horny disc which cov
ers the aperture when a shellfish
withdraws itself within its shell,—
the proportions of the ingredients in
this fatal mixture are according to
taste. Many even in our own land
fail into the error of the Arabian wo-
