In the second heat American Girl again led at the start, with Sensation at her wheel, Todd next two lengths be hind Sensation, acting very badly, a long way in the rear. Sensation came up to American Girl’s quarter at the half mile pole, Todd keeping about a length behind, aud Conley doing noth ing but breaking.

At the distance flag Sensa tion came to the front aud passed the score a neck ahead of the American Girl in 2:25J, Todd a close third, having trot ted the last half mile iu 1:14}. In the fourth heat Sensation led to the quarter with American Girl at his wheel, Todd five lengths in the rear, and the horses came home in this order, Todd coming up at the finish within a length of Ame rican Girl, who was a shaft length be hind Sensation, who was winner of the heat and race in 2:28.

OPINION OF THE ATTORNEY GEN ERAL. Military Officers Employed In the Bu reau and Guiltv of Misappropriation of Money Can be Court Martialed, and Civilians Prosecuted In the Civil Courts. Washington, July 9, —The Attorney General has sent his opinion upon the subject of frauds in the Freedman’s Bu reau to the War Department. The ques tions submitted were with reference to money taken from the Treasury by offi cers employed in the Bureau by means of forged receipts and vouchers for bounties due colored soldiers, and by means of receipts and vouchers fraudu lently procured from them. The opin ion required was upon two points. Ist. In cases where the guilty parties cannot be prosecuted, what should be the course in order to secure protection of the in terests of the Government and of the claimants ? 2d. When prosecution is not barred by the statute of limitations, what action should be had, and to what extent is the late Commissioner of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, and chief disbursing officer, responsible. The opinion is that if any military officer detailed for duty in the Freed-,, men’s Bureau has been guily of misap propriation of money or any violation of the rules and regulations governing disbursing officers of thejarmy, he may be tried by court martial in the same manner as any other such army officer, and that claim agents and other persons not officers of the Government who have obtained money from the Bureau by means of forged receipts and vouchers and other frauds can be prosecuted criminally, if two years have not elapsed since the commission of the crime, and can also be sued in the civil Courts of the United States in the same manner as employees of the Bureau can be. There is no statute limiting the time within which the Government can begin a civil suit, but suits for penalties aud double damages, under the act of March 2d, 1863, mnst be begun within six years. The Attorney General says, as to the chief disbursing officer, “it is almost impossi ble, upon the facts which are now before me, to state what his liabilities to the Government may be. Os course he is liable both civally aud criminally for his own misconduct. How far he is lia ble for the acts of subordinates employ ed under him is a question which it is impossible for me to answer without a copy of his bond and ■without more in formation in respect to his appointment and employment than I have been able to obtain from the perusal of the papers sent to me. If any other officers gave bonds to the Government, their secre taries are liable for their misconduct, or loss occasioned by them, according to the tenor thereof.” THE ARCTIC REGIONS. Getting the Tigress Ready for Her Voyago. New York, July9.—Thirty of the best and most experienced men on board the receiving ship at New York have been selected for the crew of the Tigress, an nounced to kail positively flntnrdav Tffe Tigress will carry two hundred and fifty tons of coal, and, if necessary, will get a new supply at St. John’s.

There once lived at Stirling, England, a blind old beggar, known to all the country round, by the name of Blind Alick, who possessed a memory of al most incredible strength. It was ob served with astonishment that, when he was a man, and obliged by the death of his parents, to gain a livelihood by beg ging tnrough the streets of his native town of Stirling, ho knew the whole of the Bible, both Old and New Testa ments, by heart; from which he could repeat any passage, and tell you the chapter and verse. A gentleman, once, to puzzle him, lead with a slight verbal alteration, a verse in the Bible. Alick hesitated a moment, and then told where it was to be lonna/bul said it had not been correctly delivered; he then gave it as it stood in the book, correcting the error that had been purposely intro duced. The gentleman then asked him for the 90th verse of the 7th chapter of Numbers. Alick was again puzzled for a moment, but then said hastily* “You are fooling me, sir; there is no such verse—that chapter has only eighty-nine verses.” Several other experiments of the sort were tried upon him with like suc cess. He was ofteu questioned the day after any particular sermon or speech; and his examiners invariably found that had their patience allowed, Blind Alick would have given them the sermon or speech over again. Numerous individuals have teen cele brated for their amazing recollective powers of mind. Scaliger, it is said, could repeat a hundred verses or more, after having read them a single time; and Seneca says he could repeat two thonsand words on hearing them once, although they had no dependence or connection with each other. Perthicus prepared his comment upon Claudian without referring to the text; and the learned Florentine Magliabechi,is record ed to have had such powers of retention as to be capable of recollecting not only the sense of what he read, but like wise at times the very words and the spelling. To prove the power of his prodigious memory, a gentleman lent him a manuscript; and he returned to him some time afterwards, pretending it to be lost, requesting Magliabechi to recollect as much of it as possible, on which, it said, that he wrote the whole of it without missing a word. For the improvement of the memory, a habit of strict attention is of essential import ance in whatever object of pursuit we may be engaged, as well as a syste matic method of procedure in study or business. Moderate and repeated exer- tion is also peculiarly adapted to in vigorate and strengthen the memory; and, indeed, it is almost incredible tv wbat extent daily use will promote this attainment. ► - BILL ARP ON HIS TRAVELS. A Racy Letter From the Georgia Hu morist—A Trip North—What a Bllnx, Man Saw—Staging—Eating Uousc;^- Jndge Untierwood’s Eggs—An Eye Shop—The Miracles of Science. -s V Rome Ga Jewly 1873. - Mr. Editor —Sun : I like travelin 1 now-a-days. It aint what it used to was. Im not an old man by no means as I oa prove by Mr. 8. Arp, if necessary, but I na. recomember when folks used to stage ■'». all the way to New York—bumping about all day and all night long—telliu stories and swappin lies along the way and becumin as well acquainted on tL trip as if they had been raised in. tire same town. Nevertheless I dont like stagein. t was glad when the cars -come alou with their stuff bottomed seats upi which a man or a woman eonld set My so dignifide aud rattle along so easy smooth-—perusin the butiful countlße and seein the trees and the fields a«g the landskapin by. I reoomember wbM_ Xghought it w’as tlie most delightful bL ness in the world, but then when tfj* nfglit enm on and the limbs got wear' snd the neck limber it waseut so beau tiful tryin to sleep. I have thought ou such okkasions that if a man or a wo man could only rekline just a little—ic eonld find a good place for the head to rest or could stretch out the legs <%. mean a man’s) how delightful it wonl . be. But there was nary a place. Thanks to Col. Pullman for his grot i invention. I am obliged to look upon him as a public benefaktor, a promoter of human comfort. Now a days a man.f a woman can stretch forth in peaceful seklusiou and be warbled to sleep in na tures own attitood. The rolling of tho wheels is like a soothing lullaby‘an l puts one to sleep as gently as the hffifcr of a spinning wheel does an old fashun l baby. A man with a large eorporosit/ remarked that it dident suit him alto gether, for when he was down he was still top-heavy, and the rockiu of the cur from side to side shifted his gravity io such away as to keep his head and bw, feet on a strain catchin up. He said \ was a great help to make side props r f pillars when you coul-1 get em. A short time ago I started from the Mountius of Georgia to see if I could find my way to New l’ork and back without a guide. My companion was Genrul Black, an old fashioned who was teetotashiously blind. He was going to Baltimore iu tlie hope thut.Di Chisolm could remove the skales froi i his eyes. The Genrul was in fine spirit , for he had hopes of once more lookiu upon natures butiful aud lovly fAce and womans too. To a man who has been led about for fourlong years in affr - can darkness its a mighty big thing to set. At times he seemed serious and anxioi y about the venture lie was making. ‘ cheered him up all I could, and jurncyd along through the valleys of East Teunyseo I fad eyes through his memry. I upon the rivers and the mountiH tlie j , women" off at the various stations. tine oman Genrul,’’ sed I. “Is slii^H and is she purty.” sed lie. as young and proud as a fine filly bookd for her first race at a fai/rt 0 sed I, “and she is as purty as apigeoA just takin her mate.” The Genrul heaved a long sigh and said nothing, but nobody ever will know how bad he wanted to see that l’ennysee gal. By and by wo came to the dinner house at Rogersville; and this reminds us that right here is the place where Judge Underwood always calls for eggs fried ou both sides aud loose in the mid dle. He says its the only place in the world where they cook ’em that way. A good eatin’ house is a good thing on a railroad, and saves a power of cussin’. If a man wants to hear genuine cussin’ let him open his ears at Grand Junction on the Memphis and Charleston Rail road. The same man never throws but one dollar away on that tavern. I heard of a man tellin’ the landlord, as he give him liis dollar, that he looked upon liis eatin’ house as a regular swindle.. The landlord to ik the money and the slander as serenely as if it was a compliment, but iu a few days he got an important dispatch from Mobile, for which ho paid two dollars. He opened it and read : “MyDearSir— l told yon theother day /n my haste that your eatin’ house was a swindle. I now repeat the akkusation at my leisure. You will please pay the Western Union two dollars, aud charge it to Fly Boose. ” I hear that the railroad eampanies is goin to employ a man by the year as a secret inspector of eatin houses and publish their standin once a month on their tiket. They are going to rank em from a hundred down to nothin, so that travellers can lay in eunf vittel* \o skip over the swindels. It will be better for "the health and better for the temper and save a power of cusing. Big John has ajiplide for the places. When we reached Alexandrv we tookG a steamboat for Washinton. The Gen rul dident want anything but coffee and as he couldent get up the steep little stairs I politl ly informed the landlord that there was a blind man below who wanted a cap of coffee. He snapd me off as short as pie crust and remarkd that he waseut runin the coffee business just then. I kep my temper and tried him again with the same result. I then tried a darkey but be referred me to the Boss. The Genrul got no coffee and sed he could do without it but he would like to know that lindlords name. A man standin by sed it was Fox—but be changed it directly and sed it was Wolf, and the Genrul remarkd that more like ly it was dog. I think that fellar was mad because he couldent sell more of his vittels. PassiDg through the nations capital I gazed upon the marble pile whose doam pierced the clouds and sed to the Gen ul, “There is a grand old buildin.” He replied mournfully, “I can’t see it, but I recomember it. It is a magnificent structure, but it is a whited sepulker, and has been the birthplace of more villainy than all the gamblin hells of Christendom. It is the birthplace of inikwity in high places. If there had never been a hell one would germinate spontaneously from the corruption that breeds within its walls, like maggots breeding in the karkases of the dead. Hypocrisy, avarice, lust and lies dwell there, and their foul influence spreds from this central fokus to the very con fines of the Government. If the honest workiu people who really support the nation at the anvil and the loom and the plow handle knowd one-half of the devilmeut that is laid and hatched in that buildin, and could realize that all the stealin and plunder cum out of their sweat and their toil, they would raze it to the ground, aud scatter its polluters to the ends of the earth." The Genul's sightless eye balls rolled around wildly, but he soon subsided into a state of melancholy reflektion. Arrivin’ at Baltimore, an honest Irishman drove us to Dr. Chisolm’s eye-shop. The Genrul made me take an Irishman, for he said they wouldn’t de ceive strangers. We found the Doctor up to his eye-brows in eyes. There was " two rooms full of patients, aud not a sound eye among ’em. Thinks Ito my self, if this is his daily bisness, there’s more sick eyed people in the world than - I ever dreamed of. After a little while ■fthe Genrul was led to a room in the Ji hospital where he washed the travel off and dressed himself in a new suit of store clothes, and got the hang of the room by feeliu’ all around for the buro and the bed and the fire-place and the winders. We then went down to inter view the Doctor, who had purty well gone through the eye bisness for ftiat day. After makin’ his pleasant akquaiu tance he| took the Genrul into a room as dark as Afriky and throwd a lokomo tive head light right* into his eye-balls. In a minute or so he remarked “all right, Genrul, I’ll send you home with out a guide in two weeks.” He then showed me an eye as big as a kokynut, which I suppoos cum all the way down r from ol*l Gog or Maygog, and he took £ it all to pieces and explained the concern i to my entire satisfaction. He showd me s the irish and the pupil aud the cat-aline , lens, and the conjunktion, and the sky , roket, and the victorious humor, and the 1 «erie canal, and the corny copia and the cataract. I always thought that the cataract was somethin’ growin’. on the outside, and that he cut it off with a thin bladed knife, but lie sed the eye ball was a room, and the pupil was a winder, and the seein’ was done from in side the room, and the cataract was a curtain that got in betwixt the organ of sight and the winder, and he had to go into tlie room with a knife and cut away the curtain and then the sight was re stored. Since these explanations I hav had a very high respekt for my eyes and for sienoe too. I learned the whole bifsness as well in 20 miuets as if I had studid eyes for a year, and Ive seriously thought it my duty to open an eye-shop at homo just for the sake of sufferin’ humanity. The Doktor remarked that some folks learned a heap quicker than others, and I thought at the time he was alludin' to me. Eyes, I think, is my specialty—my fort. Ive always had a mekanikal eye, •ml my mother says I cut my eye-teeth easier than any of the boys. Next rnoruin lioset tlio Genrul up in a big barbers chair, aud techin a spring it laid down with him just like it had sense, aud the Doktor propped his lids open with a parcel of small wire crow bars, and he told tlie Genral to look down all the time. Then he cut into his eye-ball with about as much indiffer ence ns lie would have cut into the eye of a potater, and as the General flinched he told him to look down. The General says “lam looking down.” “No you are not,” says the Doktor. “I tell you I am” says the Genral. The Doktor cut away a lick or two and says: “Genral if you don’t look down yonr eye will be ruined.” “I’m looking down all I can,” says the General. “I’ve lost control of my optic nerve. I believe you would ex pect a man to look down if you was jUuttin his head off.” The Doktor ■6m.” The Genral says “I won’t take it on with your butchering.” Well, it HmpptpPt L’-' :*rrel you out tno Doktor went on, and down liis knife, he took another Bnrie instrument and dug round inside K at eye-ball like he was picking the good ies out of a hickory nut. Then he took sum bull dog pinchers and pulled that cataract out shore. He took the curtain from behind that window in a jiffey, and then turned the Genrul over to tlie teu der care of Mrs. Bryan and Miss Banks, sisters and ladies of Charleston, who have charge of the hospital. kindness and attention to the Doktor’s patients is equalled only by their refine ment of manners and their Confedrit in dependence. Born rich and raised rich, they did not hesitate as to their duty when the crash of the war wiped out their property, and they gladly akcepted the offer so kindly made em bv Dr. Chisolm. J I will jump over a fortnight just now to say that the operation was a grand success and the Genral is at home pur snin his daily avokations as in days of yore, full of thanks to God and grati tude to science and Dr. Chisolm. The doctor showed me a bottle full of cator acts floating about in spirits like little milky peas, and I couldent help think ing how much of gloomy helpless and melonkolly had been turned into joy ful day by the teachins of science and the skillful knife of this eminent sur geon. I asked my friend Walker of Baltimore if he knew him, “Os course I do,” sed he, “everybody ought to know him. He’s a gentleman and he’s a Chris tian and as for eyes he liasent got an equal. He s the kindest man to his poor patients you ever saw and has restored more sight for nothin than any okkalist in ameriky.” I joumiyd from the monumental city to New York the Sentet of space and in my next will recount some things that be fel me in that respectable town.

A DISORDERED LIVER is the source of a largo majority of the ills with which the human family is afflictod. There is no organ of tlie body, tho normal functions of which are so essential to health. Upon its healthful action depends the proper assimilation of tho food and drink which supports and nourishes the body. It is therefore evident that a de rangement of its functions mußt entail disas trous results upon the entire system. A BILIOUS STOMA 111. Tlie bilo is tho natural eatbartio of tho bowels into which it parses just below tho stomach, beiug conducted there bv its produc ing organ—the liver-by a pipe called a duel. No bile properly belongs to tbo stomach ; but if it ih excessive in quantity, or viscid or thick in quality, or il tlie bowels are obstructed or costive, then it ilows back into tho stomach, causing nausea, retelling and vomiting of yellowish, green, or even black bilious matter, This is commonly called ‘•bilious stomach," ‘‘bile ou tho stomach,” or a ‘‘bilious attack." Sometimes this condition is comparatively mild, but of long duration; or it comes anil goes according to varying circumstances of diet or lioaltb. In such (rases there may bo only a hoadaclio and sickness at tlie stomach, with an expectoration of bitter phlegm, but usually, also, the whites of tlio eyos become yellowish, anil tbo complexion losos its frcsli, healthy color. Many poisons livo for woeks or months in this condition, and at length Dys pepsia, with ali its train of distressing con comitants, is fully developed. Hiok Headache, Flatulence, variable appetite, dullness and drowsiness, dizziness, hitter taste hi tbo mouth, dryness of tiio throat and internal heat, pal pitation of tho heart; sour stomach, with a raising of tho food; a bloated or full feoling about tho stomach, which is often attended with pain and tondomcsH; colie pains ; consti pation of the bowels, alternating witli attacks of Diarrlioee ; Piles, nervousnesss, coldness of tlio extremities; cbillness, alternating with hot flashes, low spirits and gloomy forebodings. ‘ This frightful cataioguo of diseases invariably follow a deranged state of tho liver, and it be hooves every one who would enjoy life to adopt prompt measures for its restoration to healthy action. For this purpose Mercury, in tlie form of Calomel or Bluo Pill, is the medicine usually resorted to. This powerful drug, though for tho time helping the liver, does no lasting good, lias to he resorted to more and more frequently, and proves in tho end moro dan gerous to the system than tho disorders it is intended to subdue To obviate this difficulty, physicians have for a long time sought for a mcdiciuo that would act spocihoally on tho liver, restoring its nor mal functions, and at tho same time be exempt from tlie dangerous effects of morcury. Their research liaH at la»t been rewarded by tlie dis covery of vegetable substances which, when properly combinod, oxojt a most powerful heal ing influence upon that organ. It is justly styled the ..lost important triumph that Phar macy has over achieved. These substances aro a concentrated form in Dr. Tint’s Vegetable Liver Pills, Which causes them to act, with wonderful cer tainty and rapidity in relieving and curing tlio diseased liver and those distressing maladies which attend it. While they are active and searching, tlioy aro mild and gentle in thoir action, and can be taken by tlie most delicate person. They produce neither nausea, griping or debility, nor require change of diet or occu pation. By the timely use of tliesn Pills much pain and suffering may be avertod, and life, which waH before a continuous misery, may bo ren dered happy by the restoration of vigorous health aud sound bodies.
