Herring, Farrel ft Sherinan, 251 Broadway, New York : Gents.—The large ami destructive fire of February 22nd, consumed the building occu pied by us. We were using one of your Her ring’s 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 rlie 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 ail 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 tire as often occurs. Respectfully vours; BELL do HULL.

An acre of land in London wan re cently sold for 83,600 000. Xenia policemen are instructed to shoot all base ball players who approach that city. A kiss is the alms which enriches him who receives without impoverishing her who gives. Some people say that dark-haired wo men marry soonest. We differ—it is light-headed ones. The Legislature of Nebraska proposes to let women vote whether they shall be allowed to vote or not. An honest banker sometimes fails in making money, but a dishonest one makes money by failing. A carriage maker thinks the “elirtic steel springs’’ arc about as healthy “min eral springs” as there are. A Connec'icut horse has been taught to ring the donr-bell, but he can’t be made to wipe his feet on the mat. Woodhitll \ C/a/lin’s Weekly assert that “one half the treme ile la creme of the fashionable world are prostitutes.” Grcely says that in order to raise bass balls of the average diameter and density, subsoiling is absolutely neces sary. Judge Sawyer, of San Francisco, has decided that “keno” is not a banking game, and can, therefore, be played at will in California. A hopeful youth of Fort Wayne, after tearfully accepting a Bible from his aun ty, walked off and exchanged it for a copy of Bret Harte’s poems. The latest dispatch from Kaiser Wil helm is as follows: ‘‘Beloved Augusta: We have captured Chicago. God be praised for his goodness. Wilhelm.” “Was the Roman matron, whose sons were jewels, a mother of pearl?" “No, my dear, the Gracchi were Cornelians.” The New Yo r k Tribune saya that anybody “lies” who dares to say that the Tribune savs that anybody “lies.”— N. Y. World. A Mississippi negro recently gave the following toast: “Do Gubernor ob our State—He come in wid very little opposition; he goes out wid none at all." An Indiana damsel undertook to break a colt the other day. At last accounts her head was two sizes too Urge for her bonnet, and she had ordered a set of false teeth. A man hasjust been hauled out of tho swamps in North Carolina who went there to avoid the draft in 1S64, and until he was discovered did not know the war was over. John Black, of the Eufanla News, ad vises all editors to get into jail if they can. He recently spent some days and nights there, and says he “never lived so well in bis life.” General Sherman says, in private conversation with friends, that he only found peace and good order among the people of the Sooth, and denounces all Kn-Klux stories in proper terms. There are rumors—probably they are without foundation—that the summary mode of proceeding resorted to by the Uiuted States against theCoreansis not approved by some of the European pow ers. The St. Louis Times exhibits a keen appreciation of the “carpet baggers” when it so truthfully and pertinently describes them as “Radical vagrants who have squatted like vultures upon the leavings of tho war, croaking of loyalty between every swallow." The sugar crop of Louisiana last year was 144,881 hogsheads, against 87,000 hogsheads in 1869; and increase of 57, 791 hogsheads, or over 66 per cent. The yield of molasses was 10,281,419 gallons, agaiust 5.724,256 in 1869, an increase of nearly 100 per cent Peter Ross, a citizen of Nashville, Tenn., and now in the 104th year of his age, started from that city a few weeks ago on a walk to New York. He has been reported from Easton, Penn., and is approaching the goal of his journey by slow but certain stages. The Small Pox is still raging in Lon don. The deaths from this loathsome disease amount, weekly, to two hundred and forty. It is singular that London physicians are so unskillful in the treat ment of this malady. In this country, the mortality from small pox is very tri fling: General Joseph E. Johnston is com plimented by the New York Tribune, which styles him “the Rebel Massena.” Upon the score of military reputation, we believe history will place very few men on a level and still fewer above the General, in whom Sherman found “a warrior worthy of his steel.” Philadelphia Age. Great Battle in Santo Domingo— Cabral Defeated—Dispatches received from St. Thomas to the 17th instant, state that the United Statca war steamer Swatarabad left Santo Domingo on the 12th, and that on the 4th the troops of Baez, numbering from twelve to fifteen hundred, had attacked about an equal number of Cabral’s forces at San Juan. The latter were defeated with a heavy loss, ineluding two cannon captured, General St. Clair killed, and eighteen prisoners and the camp equipage taken. When Cabral saw that it was necessary for him to retreat, he ordered the pow der magazine to be fired, which was done, and nearly the whole of the town of San Juan, according to report, was destroyed. President Baez, during the action, remained at Azua, but bag re turned to tbe capital since. The Memphis Acalanche gives tho following account of the way Memphis jurymen kill time: “Every day a num ber of men—jurymen—can be seeu bu sily engaged in playing the game which Ah Sin did not understand iu one of the rooms of the Second Circuit Court. It is very thrilling to watch tho buckets of perspiration flow from the marble brows of the players when the wrong man puts down the right bower.” The schism in the Mormon Church, together with outside influences, threat ens its destruction. Though the reform party is less than three years old, it has grown to such proportions as to alarm the Mormon “President,” as he is styled. A monster celebration is being prepared for the Fourth of July, wlnn the miners and Gentiles will come out in force, and declare their intention of‘‘upsetting Mor- monism, and virtually annexing Utah to the United States and the rest ol the civilized world.” Louisiana planters appear to be well satisfied with Chinese labor. They have furmed an Immigration ^any.witha capital of 8250,000. anu secured one thousand Chiuese, selected Irotu tho agricultural districts of Chiua. The Celestials are to be paid 88 a month in gold, o.j contracts running from eight to ten years. The planters say those they now employ are clean, iudustrious, and neat workmen, and live in perfect har mony with the negroes. It is not im probable that the Southern States will eventually have a large population of Ohiuesc. Express Robbers.—Superintendent Worley, of the Southern Express Com pany, arrived iu Memphis from Meridian. He states that after a week’s search, the eight negroes who threw the ex press safe off the train at Meridian, and then robbed it, were arrested, and are now in tbe Marion, Mississippi, jail. All of the $12,000 stolen was recovered, except about $400. Some of tbe party were arrested in Montgomery, and the others in Mobile and in the mountains of Alabama. They had a regular or ganized band. Tbe late Indian couucil at Ocmulgee re-affirmed the constitutiou of last year. Nearly, if not all the tribes of the In dian Territory were represented. Tho discussions were conducted with con siderable ability, and the utmost harmo ny prevailed. The Indians promised that murderous raids on the whites should cease. They appeared anxious to enjoy the benefits of civilization; and though entire security is not expected, tho Bed-skins will doubtless behave bet ter under a government of their own than they have hitherto under our sur veillance. Tho experiment is at least worth making. The Fiji islanders are at their old work again—killing and eating eacti other. Rival clans have engaged iu hostilities, and the Levoni faction, who recently professed Christianity, are indulging freely in the flesh of their captives. King Thakombua is marshaling his for ces to punish the revolting cannibals. It is to be hoped that “blood-letting” will not have the same effect on the king, who is himself a converted cannibal, as it has on the insurrectionists, and revivo in him the old taste for human food. The United States have a lien on one of tho larger islands for damages for the killing and eating of the crew of an American whale-ship. Dr. Kirk, the friend of Dr. Living stone, says the licensed slave-trade on the east coast of Africa is iu a flourishing condition, nnder the regulations of the British authorities. The Islands of Zan zibar and Pemba, and various coast towns, are supplied with negro slaves, and two thousand are annually furnished to the northern Arabs without license. In British Guiana, the apprentice sys tem, under government regulations, is said to be a much more degrading and oppressive bondage than the slaves of Brazil endure. Iu view of these facts many will conclude that England’s colo nial policy is dictated leas by principle than by motives of interest. War clouds again hover in the politi cal horizon of Europe. Heligoland is a small island in tho North Sc„, 46 miles north-west of the mou._‘ of the Elbe and the Weser, with an area of five and a quarter square miles. It is in reality a huge rock, about 200 feet in height, on which has been built a village of some S.OOO people. The English have held the island since 1807. It has good harbor privileges, in which the ships of all nations can anchor, and for this rea son it acts as a constant menace to Ger many. Bismark, therefore, has proposed to England to purchase the island, and England curtly replies that Germany cannot have it under any circumstances. This is the second time that a similar of fer has been rejected, and William and Bismark are now deliberating as to what they will do about it. A German mechanic named Rempt, who is at present employed by a well known firm of bridge-builders in Pat terson, N. J., has invented a gun that is a combination of the advantages of both tbe French and German infantry weapon, with none of the several disad vantages poscssed by these. Like the needle gun, it is fired by a needle, in a very nice aud curious manner, but the most wonderful thing of the whole in vention is the cartridge, which is not affected by dampness, and can be soak ed in water for hours without losing ita combustible or explosive qualities. Old Prussian soldiers, who are quite familiar with the needle gun, and who have seen and examined the new weapon, say that this is far superior iu every res pect, and will range among the most deadly and unerring weapon! of modern times.
