and John Pounds, merchant, of Boonesville.
The fight took place in a bar room at this
place, and arose out of a dispute over a game
of bilbards. Pounds cut Potts very severely
with his pocket knife, gashing him in twelve
places. Potts got in on Pounds’ head with an
old ale bottle, but did not do much damage,
Potts is dangerously, but not fatally, hurt,
being cut principally in the neck and face.
There is a warrant ont for Pounds.

THE FEDERAL CAPITAL.
Fire iu tLu Navy Department.
Washington, July 15,1873.
The fire at the Nary Department this morning dam
aged the building to the extent of $10,000 or $12,000-
Jt is thought the greatest damage is by water. The
Secretary’s office is completely flooded with water,
and the entire department is unfit for occupancy.
There were several valuable records burned, but most
of them can be replaced.
The Signal service is to be extended to the West In
dies and the westward islands, and along the eastern
and western coasts of South America. Stations have
already been fitted up and manned at the following
points: Havana, Santiago dc Cuba, Kingston and Porto
Rico.
Jacob Thomas, formerly Secretary of the Interior,
denies the alleged frauds imputed to him. The con
gressional Committee exonorated him from any com
plicity in the alleged discrepancies.
Ninety-seven plans for centennial exposition have
been presented to the Archttectual Committee.
It is stated that Genera 1 Bullock, late of the Freed,
men’s Bureau, has placed his property in his wife’s
hands teyoDd the Government's reach.
The Logbook Library of the Navy Department suf
fered most. Nearly all the log was damaged
by fire and water. The fire was confined to the
third and fourth stories of the south
W ng. Nearly all the records of the Bureau
of steam engineering lo*t. The Bureau of Ordnance
lost heavily in records and papers. The printing
room was entirely destroyed. It is supposed that the
fire originated from an accidental combination of
chemicals in the Bureau of Ordnance. Nearly the
whole building was flooded, and at least half of it is
unfit for occupancy.
To the President:
A fire broke out at about 5:30 this a. u., in the third
story of the back building ot the Ntry Department, it
probably originating in the printing room. The fire
department was promptly on hand, and working with
gr< at efficiency, and eoon had the fire under control,
and put it out finally before 1 o’clock. Only a few
drawings and no important records were destroyed.
The principal damage done was by flooding from water.
The business of the Department not seriously inter
rupted.

THE COTTON CROP.
Report from the Department of Agriculture-
Prospect of the Crop.
Washington, July 15, 1873.
The reports of the condition of the cotton crop to
the Department of Agriculture, for July 1st, indicate
as follows: Owing to causes reported in June, the
crop is generally from two to lour
weeks later throughout the cotton States. The weather
was very well, for a period varying from twenty-five
to thirty-five days, ending about the 25th of June.
The area of cotton planted was suffiient to tax the
available labor to the utmost, under the most favora
ble circumstances. Consequently, the excessively
wet weather preventing work, and stimulating
the grass and weeds, has not only caused
poor stands and a^ grassy and otherwise unfa
vorable condition quite generally, but Las necessitated
the abandonment of large portions of area planted^
probably nearly enough to bring the acreage to what
it was last year. The reports with rare exceptions are
despondent, and picture somewhat the gloomy pro s
pect, and doubtless the majority will fall in with the
common tendency to extggerate bad effects on the
crops and weather prevailing at the present, and to
underrate the future chances of recuperation from
those effects. The reports show generally that
t he favorable weather in the last days of June was
having the effect to chaDg s the condition
somewhat rapidly for the better. Cotton worms, cat
erpillars and lice had made their appearance iu small
numbers at several points, but as yet had not occa
sioned much fear of serious damage. The average con
dition for the cotton States, not counting Virginia,
made up from all the counties reported, was
eight hundred and ninety-five in detail, the condition
reported by figures, gives the following results: Vir
ginia, ten counties reporting an average condition of
108—two being placed st 100—six above SDd two be
low. North Carolina, forty-three counties average 91;
fourteen at 100—seven above and twenty-two be
low. 8outh Carolina, sixteen counties average
32. Lawrence, 100. All others below. Florida
ten counties average 99; three at 100—three above
and four below. Georgia, twenty-nine counties aver
age Of; 17 at 100—ten above thirty-one below.
Alabama, thirty-four counties average 85—6 at 100-
three above and twenty-seven below. Mississippi,
thirty counties average 83—8 at 100—two above and
twenty below. Louisiana, nineteen counties average
80—7 at 100—three above and fifteen below. Texas,
fifty counties average 78—2 at 100—eight above and
forty below. Arkansas, twenty-nine counties average
106—9 at 160—four above and sixteen below. Ten
nessee, twenty-four counties average 96—7 at 100—five

TWO CHILDREN IN A BOAT MAKING SEVENTY
MILES AN HOUR.
Frwm the Central City Coach.
Clear Creek is a miniature river that runs
through the canon of the same name. It de
scends upon a down grade of four hundred
feet per mile, with here and there a fall over
a rocky precipice fifteen or twenty feet in
height. Large bowlders, forty or fifty feet in
diameter, and weighing thousands of tons,
impede its dashing progress every two or
three hundred yards, while its curves are so
sharp and so frequent that the streams can
nowhere bo seen for a distance of a thousand
feet. Granite cliffs two or three miles high
project over it on either side, and give a
frightful, romantic, and dangerous appear
ance to the rushing torrent beneath.
Just below Black Hawk, on the side of the
stream, a small reservoir has been construct
ed in which is kept an ordinary skiff. Last
Sunday, two little sons of Martin F. Walker,
aged respectively ten and twelve years, got
into the boat and were splashing the water
with a stick, when the fastenings gave way,
and the boat went drifting toward the rapidly
running current. The little boys soon dis-
c .vered their danger, but were powerless to
avert it; so they clutched hold of the sides of
the boat, and with pallid countenances await
ed their doom. Soon the boat was caught by
the current and began descending at a fear
ful rate ; over Black Hawk rapids they went
like an arrow, clearing a distance of sixty
feet at a single dash. Lighting again on the
torrent surface the boat seemed to have
gained a new impetus, and shot by tho bowl
ders and around the rocky points with the
celerity of a sunbeam.
At a distance of about six miles below the
starting point conductor Gibbons, who was
standing on the rear platform of the down C.
C. train, saw the boat coming and immediate
ly stopped the train. All hands repaired to
the water's edge and did everything in their
power to arrest the flying boat, but past them
she went like a bullet from a rifle, and was
out of sight in a moment. TLe conductor
then ordered the engineer to put on a full
head af steam and follow as rapidly as possi
ble, which he did, constantly sounding the
alarm of danger. He did not get another
glimpse of the boat, but the alarm brought
the employees at Beaver Creek station to the
lookout, aud quickly making a slip noose they
sought to throw it over the boat as she came
under the bridge. This they succeded’in do
ing, but could no more hold it than they
could have held a thunderbolt, aud over Bea
ver Creek Falls she went with the speed of the
lightning. The falls are about thirty feet
nigh, and at the foot are a number of large
boulders, but the velocity of the boat was
such that it cleared them easily, aud struck
the water some twenty feet beyond.
From here no one saw the boat, or its living
freight, until it reached a point one hundred
miles below Denver. Through Golden into
the Platte river, and under the Denver bridges
she went unnoticed, slackening her pace un
til she lodged in a drift at the distance below
Denver above mentioned. The Platte does
not run very rapidly, but the boat bad ac
quired such a wonderful speed in its descent
from the mountain, that it far outrode the
current. A Mr. Walsh, who lives on a farm
near the drift where the boat lodged, dis
covered the boys still iu the boat, which was
nearly full of water, and took them to his
home. They were restored to their over
joyed parents the following evening, after
having accomplished the most perilous jour
ney, iu the quickest time ever before made
by any human being who escaped alive. The
distanco traveled was one hundred and forty
miles in two hours, but how it was ever
done, or how the boat escaped being dashed
to pieces upon some of the huge bowlders or
rocky cliffs which everywhere intercept the
course of Clear Creek, is nothing short of a
providential miracle. Probably not again in
a thousand years could the jonrney be made
with tho best appliances, and by the most
skilful mariners.
S.—Dat nigger? He’s ’rested for mnrder
in de fust degree of manhood.
C.—He hasn't killed anybody, for there's
the man sitting ou the bed.
S.—For robbery from de person, den.
C.—What did he steal?
8. -Steal? Dat black nigger’s wife over

C. —What are you going to do with him?
S --Jail him, uv couisc. Dar is do book—

C.—I’ve got nothing to do with the book:
where's tho warrant ? I want it so as to make
out the mittimus.
S.—Here, Jim, you black constabel, bring
dat writ! Dat nigga’s bound to go jail. I
axed him yestaday to help my wagin out of
de mud-hole, and he passed on. ’
The writ was brought in by the constable,
and it was actually a “vote of thanks” ten
dered two gentlemen for surveying swamp
lands by the Legislature of Arkansas.
The Judge, however, said to the prisoner,
“ See here, I makes dis sentence for my
judgment; I find you ten thousand dollars
bail, or five thousand dollars,'or you goes to
the penitentiary to work at hard toil.”
The Clerk was unable to make out the mil
iimus because he had no warrant. The pris
oner was closely guarded for two days by half
a dozen negroes, and sent to the jail at Ma
rion. The jailor would not receive the pris
oner because there was no mittimus and the
guards, knowing they would receive their
pay, left him. Of course ho is still at lib
erty.

An Arkansas Justice.
NEGRO IGNORANCE AND ECCENTRICITY ON THE
BENCH—A BLACK SQUIRE WHO EX
POUNDS THE LAW TO THE CIT
IZENS OF A SOVER
EIGN STATE.
From the Memphis Appeal, July 2.
A lew days ago one of the Ethiopian justices
of Crittenden county, Arkansas, was arrested
for whipping his niece, and at last accounts
was in jail at Marion. This Arkansas justice
is named Eden Brown, and is a true type of
the old plantation negro. He is oue of the
many ignorant persons to whose hands the
Radical prejudice of the State has given the
administration of the law. Many interesting
and strangely ludicrous stories are related of
this legal celebrity, who knows not one letter
of the . alphabet. His courthouse is his
own log cabin—an humble sli .i.ty, eight
by ten, with door so low that every per
son entering is compelled to bow with cau
tious dignity lest his head suffer the conse
quences.
Around this cld log cabin may bo seen hunj
dreds of free colored American citizens. A
glimpse of the interior would cause any per
son to laugh. The ceiling is well ornamented
with meat suspended with buskin strings.
Owing to his intellectual ignorance, the squire
usually asks some white person to fill the
office of clerk, whose duties aro somewhat
like unto those of the King’s privy counsellor.
Some time since a white laborer wanted to
sue out a writ of attachment upon a lot of
cord wood belonging to a debtor, and was
first required to hand over fifteen dollars to
the squire. The trial commenced, but was
interrupted by the plaintiff. “ Hold on dar,
Mr. Clerk, go on wid de court; I knows do
law.” thundered the squire,
Tho witness proceeded, but was again inte:
rupted by the plaintiff with an oath, as ho
saw the case waa going against him, “Dar,
dar, now,” cried the Justice, “ hold on dar
fine him another dollar, Mr. Clerk, for ’tempt
of court.”
Another witness commenced, but he, too,
was interrupted by the plaintiff, who said
D your court to the bottom of the Mis
sissippi.” This was too much for the squire
he arose, and with insulted dignity remarked
“What you talking about? Now, I’se got ju
risdiction all over dis district, Marion, Hope
field, Little Rock, and hell—”
Plaintiff—Hold on now, Mr. Judge, you
yonrself is cursing. Fine him, Mr. Clerk.
J. P.—Didn’t cuss, nowhow, Mr. Clerk.
IP.—Let the case go to , then.
J. P.—Pay up, pay up your coats, den, for
[’tempts.
■P.—What do I owe V
J. P.—Three dollars.
P.—What for?
J. P.—’Caso you cussed three times.
P.—You cussed once. I call on the clerk
to fine you one dollar.
I J. P.—Look ft’ here, white man, when did
I cuss?
P.—When you said Little Rock and hell.
J. p. — Don’t care, I didn’t git it all out, for
I was chawin’ tobaccer. I went to say Hel
ensb.
■P.—But you slid hell.
J. P.- All right. Mr. Clerk, take a dollar
off dare for a set off. and now you pay two
dollars to ’dis court for ’tempt
About two months ago a neiro man man
aged to get a colored neighbor drunk, and
during his absence hired a boy to steal the in
toxicated man’s wife. Upon recovering his
senses the bereaved husband, armed with a
shot gun, found his wife, and was returning
with her, when the abductor sprang from be
hind a tree and beat the unfortunate man se
verely, knocking out several teeth and slit
ting his upper lip. For this, tho negro— Jack
Smith—was arrested, and the trial com
menccd, a clever young white man acting
clerk.
’Squire—Read dat to de prisoner, Mr.
Clerk, handing him the warrant of arrest.
Clerk—Read what?

A young man named Kingsley, fifteen years
of age, who had been assisting in the search,
finally came across Curtain, aud asked him to
go with him aud try to find “baby.” Curtain
suggested that ho might be asleep in an old
barn near by, and with him made search
there. Kingsley then wanted to go into tho
woods. Curtain tried to dissuade him from
doing so, but finally followed him there. Cur
tain was asked to shout for the baby, and ho
did so, and in response a feeble cry was heard.
This was repeated, and guided by the sound
tho two boys entered the road, aud found the
missing child sitting ou the ground with bis
head and face covered with blood and dirt.
“Who’s been abusing you?” asked Curtain.
“You,” replied the child.
At this accusation tho boy fell down in a
half faint, but soon rallied. The two took the
infant to a house near by, from which its
mother took it home. 8he asked him who
hurt him, and he said “Eddie.” Across the
nose was a deep cut and another two inches
long immediately over the right eye. The
most serious cut was one three inches long on
the back of tho head, near its top. All the
cuts looked us though they were caused by
blows from a raggod stick of wood. The arms
aud throat were black and blue, as though
they had been severely pinched. Tho child
was found at G o’clock ou Tuesday evening,
and die! at 3 o’clock on tho following after
noon. In tho meantime young Curtain had
disappeared. He was arrested on Friday
night in East Cambridge. He had in some way
obtained a new suit of clothes, and was evi
dently about to leave the place.
A clan of leaf-clad mountaineers has been
found in Orissa. In the hills of Keonjhur,
one of tho tributary estates to tho south of
Cuttack, is the village of Gonasika, whence
there issue from two holes in a rock, com
pared to the nostrils of a cow, the waters of
the Bytumee, the Hindoo Styx. Here the
Jnangs, who inhabit many other settlements
in Keonjhur aud tLc neighboring estate of
Dhekanal, declare that they originally sprung
into being veritable autochthones, the first,
though by no means the fathers of all man
kind. Some three thousand in number, they
we no traditions which affiliate them with
other tribes, but their lauguago betrays the
secret of which they themselves were ig
norant till Colonel Dalton pointed it
out to them—they are allied with the
Hos aud Santals. Their river they de
clare to be older than the Ganges. The Ju-
aDg huts are described as the smallest that
human beings ever deliberately constructed
dwellings. In a space of six feet by eight,
low that no corpulent person could enter,
the father of the family aud all the females
take up one compartmeut, while the other is
the store-room.
The boys of each villugo have a joint dor
mitory of some pretensions erected at its en
trance. There, too, guests and travelers
are received, and the instruments are kept.
Their food ranges from the offal of the
jungle, which they discover by animal in
stinct—the mice, rats, monkeys, tigers,
bears, snakes aud frogs aud the spontane
ous forest produce, to the crops which they
themselves raise. When driven to it by
their Bhooiya masters they use the bow and
arrow, but their own weapon ot defense is
sling made of cord, and “pebbles from
the brook.” When engaged with Mr. T.
llavensbaw, the commissioner of Orissa, in
settling a boundary dispute iu 18GG, Colonel
Dalton had bis first opportunity of studying
party of Juangs, consisting of a matron,
half a dozen comely maidens, and as many
men. The men had already abandoned tbe
use of leaves for the smallest possible quan
tity of cotton cloth, but the women clung to
their foliage under tho belief that when the
river goddess, Byturnee, first leaped from the
Gonasika rock, she was so angry at the spec
tacle of a party of Juangs dancing naked that
she condemned them to adopt leaves as their
dress forever, or die. The first torch-light
dance of this party was shy.
Next day, says Col. Dalton, they came to
my tent at noon, and while I conversed with
the males on their customs, language and re
ligion, the girls sat nestled together in a cor
ner for a long time, silent and motionless as
statutes, but after an hour or two had
elapsed, tho crouching uymphs showed
signs of life and symptoms of uneasiness,
and, more attentively regarding them, I
found that great tears were dropping from
their downcast eyes like dew-drops on green
leaves. On my tenderly seeking tbe cause
of their distress, I was told that the leaves
were becoming dry, stiff' aud uncomfortable,
and if they were not allowed to go into the
woods for a change, the consequences would
be serious, and they certainly could not
dance. It was a bright, dry day, and the
crisp rustling as they rose to depart con
firmed the statement. When they returned,
arrayed in fresh leaves, we induced them to
give us not only the solemn measure of the
evening before, but to perform a variety of
sportive dances, some quite dramatic in ef
fect, and it was altogether a most interesting
ballet”
In one figure the girls moved round in
siDgle file, keeping tho right hand on the
right shoulder of the girl in front; in an
other, with bodies inclined, they wreathed
their arms and advanced and retreated in
lino. In this movement the performance bore
strong resemblance to one of the Kol dances.
Then we had the bear dance. The girls, act
ing independently, advance with bodies so
much inclined that their hands touch the
ground; thus they move not unlike bears,
and by a motion from the knee, the bodies
wriggle violently and the broad tails of green
leaves flap up and down in a most ludicrous
manner. The pigeon dance follows. The ac
tion ol a love-making pigeon when he struts,
pouts, sticks out his breast aud scrapes the
ground with his wings, was well imitated, the
lands of the girls doing duty as wings. Then
came a pig and tortoise dance, in which the
motions of those animals were less felicitously
rendered, and the quail dance, iu which they
squatted and pecked at the ground after the
fashion of those birds.
They concluded with a vulture dance, a
highly dramatic finale. One of the men was
made to lie on tho ground and represent a
dead body. The girls in approaching it imi
tate a hopping, sideling advance of the birds
of prey, and using their hands as beaks,
nipped and pinched tho pseudo corpse in a
manner that made him occasionally forget his
character and yell with pain. This caused
jreat amusement to the tormentors. I have
ieard of a “ ballet” called the “ Cocks aud
Hens,” but this they could not be induced to
exhibit. It was admitted that it was impossi
bio to keep the leaves in proper position
while they danced it. It was too much of a
romp, especially for a day performance.

“Death is the crown of life.”
it is surely thus with the good. It seems aa ene
my, but we do not see beyond the veil whero it intro
duces the soul into the mansion prepared for it. We
mourn for the dead, but they have just begun to live;
the grave seems dark; we forget it is not the “loved
one’s home.”
Thus we feel at the loss of our friend Mrs. Sarah
Octavia Kiser, wife of M. C. Kiser. Esq-, who fell
asleep in Jesus on the 27th day of May last, in the
35th year of her age.
She was the daughter of Wm. Matthews, Esq., of
Clark county, tut for several years lial resided in this
city, where her amiable qualities, her gentle nature,
her affectionate heart, and her pious life had sou nu
merous friends, who unite with her bereaved Lub*
bind and motherless boy in mourning our loss.
But the patient and weary sufferer rests where
“sickness and sorrow, pain and death are felt and
feared no mote.” E. W. W.

HAMILTON’S PREPARATION OF BUCHU
AND DANDELION cures that moat distressing mala

stomach, aud by securing a proper secretion and ex

prevents constipation, and constipation is tbe imme

ATLANTA LAGER BEER
TniTTIVIFlIANT 2
Atlanta-made Beer to the same competent chemist for
analysis, the result of which, with the correspon

Atlanta, Ga., July 2, 1873.
Prof. W. J. Land, Analytical Chemist, City—
DkakSib: Herewith we have the pleasure of sub
mitting, for your professional examination, a sample
of our every-day manufacture of Lager Beer, with the
request that you subject the same to a close and rigid
chemical analysis, and report the result to us at your
earliest convenience. Respectfully,
FETCHER k MERCER.
Atlanta, Ga., July 10,1873.
Messrs. Fechtur »’c Mercer, Atlanuta, Ga:
Gkntlemen—Tho sample of Atlanta “City Brewe
ry” Lager Beer, received from you, proves, upon a
thorough chemical examination, to be quite free from
all injurious substances, as drugs, etc. Pure Hop
IleBin is the only bitter principle found in the article,
and the analysis below’, showing per centage of tbe
chief proximate constituents, would recommend the
beverage to consumers of beer.
I am, very truly, yours,
WM J. LAND,
Analytical Chemist.

Extractive matter (dextrine, sugai. hop resin,

Cincinnati Beer 6.6283 6.6025 88.0717 1.0157
The above analysis, made from a sample taken from
tbe same tanks from which we daily fill casks for city
consumption and for shipment, conclusively estab
lishes the great superiority of our Lager Beers over
that made in Cincinnati, in that it contains a so much
larger per centage of nutritious elements—dextrine,
(starch) sugar, albumen, and pure bop resin. As no
sugar is used in the manufacture, the saccharine mat
ter contained in our Lagor Beer is only tbat derived
from the vegetable ingredients employed.
We therefore confidently place our CITY BREWE
RY LAGER BEER in open and square competition
with any other manufacture, assured that aa a bever
age containing a considerably larger per contagc of nu
tritive and tonic properties, in proportion to weight or
volume, than any other offered in the South, it com
mends itself t-> all consumers as the most healthful.

A Boy Murderer.
A CHILL* THREE VHAILS OLD KILLED IK SOUTH AC
TON, MASSACHUSETTS—A TWELVE-YHAB-OLD
DOT CHABOED WITH THE CBIME.
From tho Boston Advertiser, July 7.
George Edward Curtain has been arrested in
East Cambridge, and is now in jail, for the
murder of a child three yoars old in South
Acton. The alleged murderer came from
New York about a year ago to live with his
uncle, Maurice Lane, in Wcb: Acton. He hue
no hither living, and it is intimuted that he
was sent from New York by bis mother in or-
dpr that he might be kept nvny from evil as
sociates. It is represented that he has a dis
position that defights in browbeating and
domineering over his younger compan
ions, and that bo has been Inown frequently
to whip and torment them. No particular ill-
treatment of his cousins in his new homo has
been noticed, however, aud the whole family
had become very fond of the boy.
Between 3 and i o'clock lost Tuesday after
noon, young Curtain took “the baby,” as
little Maurice A. Lane was called, and started
out for a walk. The track hands at work on
the railroad noticod them going toward the
woods. About an hour afterward they ob
served “Eddio,” the Curtain boy, comiDg
back alone, and some of them asked him who
he bad with him when he went by before, to
which he replied that it was a little girl. Soon
afterward there were inquiries concerning the
missing child, and then Eddie could not bo
found. Becoming anxious, the mother started
ont after the baby, and others assisted in the
search; bnt although the woods were visited,
Ibe search was in vain.
