lowering clouds of smoke seem to lower Onninously upon the stricken city. The lake front is covered to the waters edge with goods snatched from burning build- 1ngs. Families bereft of theiI homes are grouped around what little property re- mains to them, watching the flames feed- Ing alike upon proud mansions and novels. The streets are damned in every direction with valuabies of all kinds and household goods and merchandise. Near " every StorerOom on the SouthSide east of State street, has either been vacated and goods removed or else preparations are made and drayS at the doors, while prOprletorS and clerks await the cataS trophe's approach. Scores of acres are covered with ruins and the spectacle is terrible indeed. The loss is not so large as It would have been had the fire originated among respectable buildings, but from live to eight millions is moderate estimate. The loss to insurance companies is cOm- paratively light. Hundreds of families have lost all and are rendered hOuseless and homeless. AS the good suffer. with the bad on many occasions, so in this the bad suffer with the good, and probably this section of the city would not have been so effectively purified! in the next fifty years as it has in three hours this evening. On the whole Chicago has not only had another great conf1agration, but great purificatiOn, and will in the end be much better for it by securing to the burnt district better class of buildings.
 JULY l5.-The fury of the fire seems to be spent and it may be considered under con- trOl, although the wind is still dangerous and the flremen cannot for moment relax their efforts. The exact limits of the
 fire are on Clark street, where it Originat- ed, near Twelfth street, for about a block north on Fourth avenue; from near Fay Tor to Harrison street; on third avenue fro%n near Peck Court to Harrison street on West side; one block further on East side on State street from near Harmon court to near Congress street; on West side and to corner Van Buren on the East side; on Wa bash avenue from near Peck court to near oorner Van Buren West side; and No. 294 on East side for about one block, lying mostly between Van Buren and Harrison streets.
 CHICAGO, July 15.-A disastrous fire oc- cured at Iowa Falls yesterday. The whole business part of the town was des- troyed. Forty-five buildings were burned.
 CHICAGO, July 16.-Yesterday afternoon this city was visited by still another fire which destroyed twenty-four houses on Milwaukee avenue near Morgan street. Most of them were poor shanties, and loss is estimated at $60O00. There were three attempts at incendiarlsm which were dis covered and frustrated.

Only two heats were run, Goldsmith Maid won both, though it is claimed she broke in the last one. Judge Fullerton broke badly both times, and was put back. Both heats were very eX- citing and closely contested. Time 2.26 and 2.25N

Good Railroad News.

Joseph D. Lynch, formerly connected with The San Diego World, has lately interviewed Col. T. A. Scott and given the result of it to The St. Louis Repub- lican, and it amounts to about this: The company intend to relinquish the land grant of the Atlantic and Pacific road from its junction with the Texas and Pa cific, which will be made at point east of Double mountain in Texas; it was sheer nonsense that the company intend to abandon San Diego or take central route through Arizona, but would keep all promises with San Diego and adhere to the 32d parallel through this Territory.
 A recent letter from a member of the Texas and Pacific company to gentleman D in Fort Worth, says the company has re- ceived an offer to take S2, 2,250,000 of its first mortgage bonds which will be ac- cepted and work on the road at once com menced. A Dallas, Texas, dispatch com firms the news of said letter.
 Col Scott is reported by MT. Lynch as saying the company expected aid from Congress and that it would be granted at the next session. There is surely light nearer ahead than has seemed to be since last September Commerce needs the load and its contraction will not be de- layed many years, and within two or three, we may expect It will advance far enough to materially benefit us who are right in , the line of its determined route

Party Obligations.

Judge Rush in his remarks in the court house on Tuesday evening, referred to the duty of citizens politically. and we were glad that he held to the same doctrine we always have regarding party obligations in the Territories. He regarded mans political duty higher than party obli- gations or even personal friendship. Ter rItorles nave no power to influence nation al politics; no vote to influence Congress men, nor Presidents or aspiring ones. Ter ritories are very dependent upon the party in power at Washington, yet not having power to strengthen up that party, it is a matter of little difference to it what politi- cal results are shown at Territorial elec- tions. It is reasonable however that a Delegate in sympathy with the ruling ad- ministration, should have more influence than one who is not. A Delegate who should be elected upon contest made Ip mostly of opposition to the ruling admin istration, would very naturally not meet with that cordial welcome and favor that one would whose canvass had been made in defense and support of it. In any way it can be viewed, there is not enough to be gained by eIecting Delegate on strictly party basis to justify doing it; and we may say the same of making a choice of county officers and members of the Legis- 4ature. And this seems to be the judg- tnent of the people of Arizona, for with but few exceptions, all attempts to elect officers on strict party platform, have been failures; especially is this true with reference to Delegate to Congress, for in Arizona not one has been elected as par tisan, although several have tried to be-
 Judge Rush has had some experience in this line and although he made very creditabIe run, he failed. He has had eX- perience in public affairs and his positive declaration that voters political duty is above party obligation, is entitled to re- spect. This view is so strong among the masses even of the Democracy of Arizona, that they decline to enter into thorough organization when invited in fair and earnest manner to do it. When Arizona becomes State, then the propriety and perchance advantage of strict party organ isation and action will be acknowledged.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGToN, July 3.-U. s. Minister Jewell telegraphs from St. Petersburg his acceptance of the position of Postmaster General.
 WASHINGTON, July 1.-The Indian Com- miSsiOners to-day received a telegraphic report from John D. Mills, Indian agent at Osage City, Kansas, saying that hostile CheyenneS, COmanches and Kiowas ap- peared near the Cheyenne and Arrapaho Agency, on the 2d instant, and killed and Scalped five persons. Troops were tenn porarily sent from Fort Sill to protect the Agency. Mir. Mills with an escort proceed ed to Lee and Reynolds ranches where the Indians made an attack and were re- pulsed. Four men were found murdered and Scalped near by and their three wagons loaded with provisions for the Harwood Agency destroyed. One victim had been tied to wagon and burned. At the next ranch, teamsters, stages, etc., were gathered. They reported a body of 100 Indians having passed that morning. aIr. Mills advised all the ranchmen to abandon their places which they did. There are now but two ranches occupied on this road. The Indians will doubtless clean everything until repulsed. MT. Mills in return for the offer of his life to save others asks that two or three com panies Of Cavalry be sent to protect gov ernment interests between the Cheyenne Agency and Caldwell.
 MT. Mills is Quaker and a thoroughly reliable man. The Military Depart ment indOrsed his request. The hostile Indians number about two thousand.

JUDGE RUSH in his trip from Prescott says he passed through Antelope Valley and found man with sheep and lot oi wool. Upon being asked what he intend, ed to do with the wool, the owner replied he had done what he intended; that he had sold it for S9000 and the money was in his possession. Here IS a success worth mentioning, and, and just what al- most any man with moderate means and ordinary business qualifications may at- tain. Judge Rush gives it as his opinion that this year we will realize on wool 1000 to s75, 900, and next year he be- lieves the value of this product will reach $25O,0 900. Pima county alone will next year have wool worth many thousands of dollars. The wool product of Arizona will increase right along and will ere many years surpass that of California.

POSTMASTER GENERAL CRESWELL said at his retirement from office that he could confidently challenge any banking or railroad corporation 10 show a propor- "tonate small loss in comparison with the business of the Postoffice Depart "ment during his administration of its "affairs."
 So far as we can learn. government has not lost dollar by postmasters in Arizo- na, although in one case, the bondsmen had to make up few thousand dollars, which they probably have or will get re- funded, as the delinquent official has a reputation for honesty and industry.

The following lines were found on the per
son of Annie Mills. n notorious courtesan
who recently died in prison at Evansville
Ind. and who was buried by her femal,
companions in sin. who generously betrayed
the expense of her funeral:
Ii rains so hard. this gloomy night,
The iron floor is freezing cold,
What brought me here, so chill and white,
This shameful, heavy heart to hold.

I've been a wretch undone for years;
Ana why in Jail I've come to dwell?
You must not ask me-ask these tears.
I've had such strange and feverish dreams,
About my life and what I've done;
They've almost stopped my thought it seems,
And blood in veins will scarcely run.
So base am II Not fit to livol
And yet / do not wish to die
Pity me time and pardon give,
And do not let Death come so nigh.
Ten years ago. not far from here,

left the hearth with all so dear,
The thorny path of vice to roam.
When building castles in the air,

With hand to blast my beauty fair,
And virtue sink in ruin's food.
The night before ran away,
My father took me on his knee;
lie told me that be wished TO say.
None earthly did he love like me.
He asked me if I'd not be good,
And make his happy hours bright;
With tears. told him that would
Deep grief and tears stole all that night.
My memory here begins to fail,
My head is dizzy, heart is sick,
These struggles are of no avail
Death steals upon me, Oh so quick.
Can this be death? And in this place,
Where neither love. nor pity dwells2

A FRENCH CLOWN.

ut is sad, remarks the London
Daily Telegraph of Dec. 26, just as
the pantomime season is commencing to
be constrained to chronicle the passing
away of one Of the most famous clowns
this age has seen. Dcburau, the we'll
known Pierrot is dead Genius in the
merry. andrew line is frequently heredi-
tary, and the wonderful droll who has
Just expired at Bordeaux was the son of
an equally gifted and celebrated clown,
the idol of the Boulevard du Crime, the
prop of the Theatre des Fnnambules,
the hero of those classic buf'ooneries,
lie Beuf Enrage and Pierrot Marchand
d Habits, the darling of Theophile Gau
tier-whose criticisms made the clowns
fortune-Jean Gaspard Deburau. Oddly
enough and yet, perhaps, not so oddly,
when we remember the analogous case
of Joseph Grimaldi-M Deburau pere
had ahorror lest his son should grow up
Pierrot, and, when it was necessary TO
choose profession for him, apprenticed
him to q painter on porcelain. Dis
liking this vocation, the young man
obtained the reluctant permission of his
father 10 cultivate the histrionic art TO
the extent of becoming tragic actor,
and he spent two years in studying
defamation in the dramatic depart
ment OF the Paris COnservatoire. But
Deburau the elder died; a race of in
ferior mines sprang up; the grand ira
dtions as to how Cassandre shsuld be
best robbed and Geronte most deity
cut over the nose by the razor with
which Pierrot shaves him, were in dan
ger of being lost. The blood of Deburau
boiled within him. He rushed to the
Funambules, was greeted with &C.
static Joy by the manager, bounded
on the stage, and was hailed
thenceforth and until the day of his
death as the greatest clown in France
His compeer, Paul Legrand, who hhd
been so long a Pierrot that he used TO
say he could not recollect the time when
his father was not in the habit Of tick
ling him in the small of his back, ac-
knowledged, with the eandor OF true
artist, that in many aspects Deburau
was his superior; while the admirable
Comique of Franconi's, the esteemed
Auriol, was wont to say, with a sigh,
Je suis drole peutetre; mais je ne
serai jamois Pierrot. The French
clown, as all students Of French imam
bulism know, is specifically a solemn
and even lugubrious parsonage. He
makes up to look as meager as he pos
sibly can. He is clad wholly in white
linen, and his face is Toured, without
the addition Of any eolored pigment.
The leading Pierrots never sing, and
are almost entirely mute. Wo-begOne
in visage, melancholy in mien, detected
in gesture, Deburau looked Ike the
ghost OF the comic muse; yet this as
baiIoon could not be five min
nles on the boards without melting the /
audience to hold their sides for laughter.
Scribe said that to see Deburau sit down /
on a chair was enough 10 cure a man Of |
the tooihache. When, as a barber be |
operated on the before mentioned Ger
onte, the spectators used alternately to /
shudder with terror aud 10 scream with [
hilarity. He seemed to be so near cut
ting his customers head Of that The
performance resembled n caricaiure Of /
