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. l3igneJJ Gao. M. Robkson, Secretary of Navy. George A. Matila was to-day appointed Secretary of the American-Spanith Commission, in pl'.cc of George Moore. THE WEATHER.

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.

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 dare! C. —What are you going to do with him? S --Jail him, uv couisc. Dar is do book— read dat! 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. The Fig Leaf. CUBA LIBRE.

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? 8.—Dar is de law, scriptom and unscrip tarn, in de book. C.—Haven’t you a digest of the laws? 8.—What’s dat? You’* quizzing dis justice for de drinks. I C.—The laws of Arkansas. 8.—Dey is all 'mended by de Constitution 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. Friend of India. OBI TJU ARY. “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.

HAMILTON’S PREPARATION OF BUCHU AND DANDELION cures that moat distressing mala dy, Piles, by increasing the digestive function of the stomach, aud by securing a proper secretion and ex cretion of bile for the lubrication of tbe bowels. This prevents constipation, and constipation is tbe imme diate cause of Piles—common sense in this treatment. Go to Rcdwiue k Fox’s drug store and tell them you want Hamilton’s Buchu and Dandelion. Rcdwine k Fox can tell you all about the remedy—and sell it to you also. july8 A*- THOMAS HOUGHTON. OF CINCINNATI, says: •• W. C.

ATLANTA LAGER BEER TniTTIVIFlIANT 2 Atlanta-made Beer to the same competent chemist for analysis, the result of which, with the correspon dence, we give below : 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. ANALYSIS. Extractive matter (dextrine, sugai. hop resin, albumen, etc) per cent 6.6890 Alcohol, per centigeby volumo 6 4010 Water 88.0101 Specific gravity of tbe Beer, 1.0158. g3 Atlanta “City Brewery”.. .6.6890 6.1010 88.U10L 1.0158 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.
