TIE GREAT CONFEDERATION AT THE CAPE
OF Coop HoPE.-Some details have teen
received of the fearful confagration which
happened at the Cape Of Good Hope last
February, when o tract of country 400
miles long and varying in breadth from
fifteen to $50 miles was swept over by fire.
The weather had been unusually hot and
dry for the previous six weeks. On Febru-
airy 9th the temperature throughout the
colony rose to more intense heat than ever
previously known. During the morning
scorching- hot winds blew from the north
east, and in the afternoon fire broke out
at several places and wrapped millions of
acres in an enormous confagration, the
cultivated lands, farm buildings, native
forests, and bush farm stock, and wild ami
mails sharing the same fate. Several per-
sons were also burned to death. Those
saved had to take shelter in the rivers,
water dams, and wet bitches, where many
of them were badly scorched. The ca
lsmity occurring just after the harvest
and an unusually good one-and destroy
ing its produce, has caused great distress.

Miss Cairnes, who shot and killed her
seducer, McComas, last week at Jarretts-
vile, Md, is still ct liberty. Public serti-
ment is so universally in her favor that the
authorities have not demanded her impri-
comment nor asked security. She still re-
mains at her home, perfectly reconciled, and
ready for any demand the sheriff may make,
1t is said that no jury could possibly be
found to convict her, though she owns to a
deliberate intention, long premeditated, if
the deceased failed to make PREPARATION by
marrying her, Of taking his life.
So says one paper. But the Belair DEMO-
crat says: .... ,.........-... ...-..
On Wednesday Miss Cairnes was arrested
by Constable Rockhold, under warrant
issued by Justice Cathcart, and brought to
Belair, where, waving an examination, she
was committed to jail by Justice Fulton.

condition of the Jail, the sheriff procured a
room for her OF Glenn's Hotel, where she
remains in his custody to await the action

total rejection Of the Reverdy johnson
treaty, the Gladstone Ministry, it is be-
leved, will not venture upon new PROPOSE
tons, and cur Government is quite willing
to let the controversy rest, with the under
standing that we shall use the precedent
established by England if occasion offers.

Tersy over the San Juan treaty had better

TIE STORY OF THE ESCAPED LION Con-

loaded with twelve balls q piece that he
had used in the late war;, he started out in

Arrived at the spot, brief survey soon
discovered to him the object of his search
in the shape of a genuine lion. The beast,

further developments. Mr.. Coleman, who
is described as very cool and daring, did
not elbow him to wait long, for elevsting
his rife he at once discharged several loads
at him, which caused, the beast to spring
from his position on his foe. Quick as
thought Mr.. Coleman continued firing till
he had exhausted all his charges, the Sc
cond shot, as he afterwards discovered,
passing clear through the body Of the beast
without disabling him.
And now came the tug of war. The lion,
infuriated with his wound, and With glaring
eyes, reached the ground near Mr.. Cole

feather, fought him 30 tenaciously that the
lion abandoned his purpose, and by single
bound seated himself on the lower limb Of
