Some details have been received Of the
fearful conf ,gration, which happened at
the Cape Of Good Hope last February,
when q tract of country four hundred
miles long, and varying 10 breadth from
fifteen to one hundred and fifty miles,
was swept over by FIRE. The weather
had been unusually hot and dry for the
previous six weeks. On February 9th
the temperature throughout the colony
rose to more intense heat than ever pre-
viously known. During the morning
scorching bot winds blew from the north
east, and in the afternoon fire broke
out at several places aud wrapped mil
lions Of acres in an enormous confagra-
ton, the cultivated lands, farm buildings,
native forests, and bush farm stock and
wild animals sharing the same fate.
Several parsops were elso burned to
death. Those saved had TO take shelter
in the rivers, water dams and wet bitches,
where many Of them we're badly scorched.
The calamity occurring just after the
haryest-and an unusually good one
and destroying its produce, has caused
great distress,

BALTIMORE, April 22.-In the Kimber.
ley Butler case, in Baltimore yesterday,
Chief Justice Chase decided that the
Constitution does not shield members oil
Congress from process of summons in
a civil service. The word arrest merely
means forcible detention, with view to
imprisonment. Also that the money
claimed being paid Provost Marshal,
and not the defendant, the latter could
not be held accountable for it.

SCENE FOR AN ARrIsr.-Court Square
is just beautiful and iaviting place.
The trees are in fall leaf, the grass is
green and luxuriant, and the air is laden
with perfume as soft and delicious as
if stolen from a lovers bower to kiss the
cheek of beauty and gladden. the heart Of
childhood. Many persons love to linger
within the enchanting precincts of that
little oasis, which bushes in its vernal
glory in the heart of the city, sur
rounded by a desert of brick
walls and morass. Yesterday
gentleman who has as exquisite
taste for the beautiful paused long and
rapturously in front Of little picture
that would be gem for an artist. A half
grown colored nurse had wandered into
the Square with her little charge, two
years old, and both had gone fast TO sleep
on the grass. The nurse sat on the bank
With her feet in the gutter, aud the child,
a rosy faced, plump little girl, lay across
her lap, with head and feet resting on the
green sward. Her golden curls, carefully
arranged by the hand of loving mother,
were interlaced with the tall grass, and.
waved in the same gentle breeze. The
little feet and legs were well displayed
specimens of model symmetry. The
dimpled face was picture itself-so calm
and sweet in its expression that we might
have stopped to kiss the little
brow and stroke those sleeping
eyelashes. The good nurse, with
stolid African features, ever and anon,
bowed low, as following passing shadow,
aud then came up with @ jerk like fish
ermans rod when the bite is good. 1t
was rare contrast, and combination OF
pleasing effects not often seen.

SOUND ON THE GOOSE. Some days ago
one of our entelprising city pound
keepers imprisoned COW, and day
ortwo afterward the owner-an original
Hibernian-made his appearance, and
demanded the release of the " critter."
Our corpulent friend gravely informed
the owner that the COW could not be
taken away until the moderate sum Of
four dollars was paid, whereupon the
Hibernian became enraged, and vented
his ire ON the pound-keeper and all the
rest of the city officials, concluding by sol
emily assuring the officer of the pound
if he (the owner) was compelled to pay
four dollars for the recovery of his COW
he would "niver again vote the Dim
mycrat ticket" That man is evidently
sound" and he may need little
watching on next election day.

ROYNTONS ELEVATED OVEN RANGE

This new and beautiful Range, which has just
been completed, is offered to the public the
most complete, convenient and desirable Elevated
Oven Range in the market, and is the result of long
experience in the manufacture and setting of Cook
ing Ranges and we do not hesitate in recommend
ing it as the nearest to perfection of any Elevated
Oven Range in the country.
We will enumerate some OF the peculiar advan-
tages this Range possesses
First-It is more beautiful in form and design
than any other pattern.
Second-It has a much larger hot place Surface
for Boilers and Stew Pans, affording larger
modations for Cooking purposes.
Third-It has a smaller Fire Chamber, and burns
less coal than any other pattern of Elevated Oven
Range, for the simple reason that the fire chamber
is entirely surrounded with fire brick instead of an
open crate in front and @ water back in the rear,
forming two sides of the fire las in all other pattern
ranges both of which chill and deaden the fire and
detract largely from the power, and make it abso-
lutely necessary to burn a larger amount of fuel.
Fourth-The body of this Range is higher than
other patterns, and is more like the French Kitch-
eners, making it much more convenient and easy
for the cook.
Fifth-The hot closets are more accessible,
placed in natural position being in the body of
the Range instead of above the ovens, as in other
patterns.
Sixth-The ovens do not project over the boiling
surface so as to make it inconvenient in removing
the boilers, as in other patterns.
Seventh-There are better arrangements for con-
veying the steam to chimneys and controlling the
draft, than most ranges.
Eghth-The ovens bake more evenly, as we have
return fue over the top of the oven (which is the
point that most often fails thus securing perfect
baking oven on the top well as on the bottom.
Ninth-The fiues in this range are all complete in
themselves, so that it is unnecessary to form them
of brick, (which absorbs the heat,) and makes the
setting of them much more simple and sure.
Tenth-The water back can be removed and the
plumbing work can be repaired, if necessary, with
out disturbing the brick work
