In passing along Summer street yester-
day we saw a number of men at work on
the front of the new and magnificent
building erected by Mr.. John Browne. On
inquiry we ascertained that they were put
ting up an enormous iron girder, the
largest ever manufactured in this city, to
support the front of chiseled stone that is
to constitute this unique structure The
girder was designed by Major j. A
Kiddell, architect, and the contractors were
T. NJ Brennan 4 Bro. 1t is equal to any
work of the kind We have ever seen, and
is manufactured at prices as cheap as it
can possibly be done anywhere in the
Union. AS a specimen of that class of
manufacture it reflects credit upon our
city, and we hope that the example of the
Messrs. Brennan to encourage and foster
home manufactures will be emulated by
our capitalists and people generally. AL
that is necessary to have first class manu-
factories and the very best of articles made
at home, is for our people to show dispO-
sition and determination to buy at home.
The span of the girdle is % feet, and the
weight it will sustain will be 100 tons; the
weight of the girder itself is four tons.
Its dimensions and finish surpass anything
of the kind heretofore put up in the city.

A VERY UNUSUAL NEGRO.


At the last meeting of the Lexington
Presbytery, sitting in Versailles, negro
applied for license to preach, and it was
accorded 10 him, but not until after most
searching examination, during which he
showed himself familiar with Hebrew,
Greek and Latin, and all the textbooks
required to be studied by Presbyterian
theological students. The negro is sin
gular compound of physical deformity
and mental activity, being dwarfed and
distorted in body to a degree almost pain
full to look upon, and with a very large
head, out of all proportion to the
rest of his person. He is repu-
ted son of the great lawyer and
orator, S. S. Prcntiss, at one time member
of Congress from Mississippi, where he
was looked upon as perfect prodigy of
elOquence and mental attainment. This
son of his seems TO possess his fathers
peCuliaritics in an exaggerated degree,
and may yet prove as marvellous in mind
as distorted in body. His appearance SC
preiudiced the members of the Presby-
terry against him that they would have re.
fused him license if he had shown any
deficiency. He was required to deliver 8
sermon of his own composition, and the
matter of it was not only good, but the
manner of delivery was composed and
admirable. We have not heard TO whar
field he has been called.

ANOTHER BUREAU MAN.
A Very Ugly story Concerning Gen.
Clinton II. Fisk.
From tba TOuis TiTnac

For several days ugly rumOrs have BEEN
current of gross irregularities, not TO use
harsher term, in the affairs of Gen.
Clinton Z. Fisk, which have finally as
sumed a shape definite enough to warrant
publication, despite the high and almost
enviablc position that gentleman has
once enjoyed. When the war,
which has made as well as unmade
many better men-brOke out, plain Mr..
Fisk, who was at that time Secretary of
the Merchants Exchange, entered the
army, and by the partiality of friends,
was created a Brigadier General. The
annals of the war, however, donot record
any remarkable instances of heroism or
valor on his part. His connection with
the army would have doubtless passed into
the realms of oblivion long ago, had he
not perpetuatcd the fact by frequently at
taching as an addenda to his John Han
cock signature the words ''Brigadier Gen
| cral United States Volunteers"
He is said to have entered the army
not only without means, but deeply in
| debt-and how valuable his patriotism
proved may be inferred from the fact that
when ''the cruel war" was over he had
realized sufficient to liquidate his liabili-
ties and establish confidential and salts
factory relations with one of our leading

THE INDIANS.
numors and specuIations.,

ST. LOUIS, May 5.-Intelligence has
been received here that large number of
Indians is reported to be on Solomon river,
Kansas, threatning the settlements Also
that POO Indians crossed the Kansas and
Pacific Railroad, between Forts Hayes and
Parker, on the ID inst.
Later dispatches deny there being any
Indians on the solomon, and state that no
trouble is anticipated there. There are
three companies Of cavalry stationed at
three prominent points on the solomon,
and also at Lake Sibley, on the Republican
river, and the Indians could not penetrate
that region without encountering troops
or so many cavalrymen.
One company Of infantry has been sent
TO Fort Wallace to protect the railroad
construction parties west of that place. Five
companies of cavalry, under Gen. Custer
left Fort Leavenworth, on Tuesday, fol
Fort Hays, from which point they car
move in any direction should hostile de
monstrations be made by the Indians.
