Destructive Fire at TdZd1aSsec.-On
the evening Of the 18th uIt. fire broke
out in the back buildings Of the Washing
ton Hall, which was burnt. This building
was situated near the capitol; and the fire
extended on both sides Of Main st. to the
Court House. Every store in the city was
destroyed. Of The three printing Offices,
one was saved-thai Of the Star. the SEN
tinel, and the FIordian offices were burned.
|, is supposed that there were at least
two hundred and fifty buildings with most
of their contents destroyed. 1t was I'M
possible TO save many Of the goods in the
stores, the fire made such rapid progress.
and those that were saved were mostly in
a damaged state. Several buildings were
blown up, and two or three negroes lost
their lives.
The loss is estimated al $500, 000.-
There had been no rain for six weeks, IN
consequence Of which the buildings had be-
come SO dry that they burned like finder.

AN INHABITED TREE Having travelled
five hundred miles, five days after leaving
Mosego, we came to the first cattle out
posts Of the Matabeles, when we halted by
fine rivuet. Ny attention was arrested
by beautiful and gigantic tree, standing
in defle leading into an extensive and
woody ravine, between a high range of
mountains. Seeing some individuals en-
ployed on the ground under its shade, and
the concal points of what looked like houses
in miniature, protruding through its ever
green foliage, proceeded thither, and found
that the tree was inhabited by several fam
lies OF Bakones, the aborigines of the coun-
try. | ascended by the notched trunk, and
found, TO my amaZement, no less than II
of these aerial abodes, and three others un-
finished. On reaching the topmost hut,
about thirty feet from the ground, entered
and sat down. Its only furniture was the
hay which covered the floor, a spear, a
spoon, and bowlful Of locusts. Not ha-
wing eaten anything that day, and, from
the novelty of my situation, not wishing to
return Immediately to the wagons, asked
a woman who sat the door with babe at
her breast, permission to eat This she
granted with pleasure, and soon brought me
more in a powdered state. Several more
females came from the neighboring roosts,
stepping from branch to branch to see the
stranger, who was to them as great q GU
riOsity, rs the tree was TO him. then vi
sited the different abodes, which were on
several principal branches. The structure
of these houses was very simple. An OBJ
long scaffold, about seven feet wide, is for
med Of straight sticks. On one end Of this
! platform small cone is formed, also of
sticks, and matched with grass. A person
can nearly stand up right in it the diam
eter Of the floor is about six feet. The
house stands on the end Of the oblong, so
as to leave little square place before the
door.
On the day previous l had passed sever
al villages, some containing forty houses,
all built on poles about seven or eight feet
from the ground, in the form of circle;
the ascent and decent is by knotty branch
of a tree placed in front of the house. In
| The centre Of the circle there is always a
heap Of bones or game they have killed -
| Such were the domiciles of the impoverish-
ed thousands of the aborignes Of the coun-
try, who, having been scattered and peeled
| by Moselekaise, had neither herd nor stall,
! hpt suhsisted on laeus:s, roots, and the chase.
| They adopted this mode Of architecture to
escape the lions which abounded in this
country. During the day the families des-
| cended to the shade beneath to dress their
daily food. When the inhabitants increas-
ed, they supported the augmented weight
on the branches by upright stcks;but when
! lightened Of their load, they removed these
for frewood.-Noftt's South Afrjca.
