horrible outrages has occurred which is so
shocking to human sensibilities, and which
causes mothers hearts to burn with fear and
trembling, and The blood Of men to boil with
rage A little over week ago a negro com
mitted most shocking and 5eastly outrage
upon the person Of a little white girl, the
daughter Of a Major Burnett, deceased, about
twenty miles from San Antonio, and after the
brute with human form perpetrated his hellish
design, he nearly crushed the head Of the
helpless victim with rock and then left her
for dead, making his way to this city. where
he was arrested yesterday evening by parties
who followed him from about San Antonio.
For those capable Of such deeds death at the
stake isfar too good.

FASTEST STEAMER IN THE WoRLD. Such
is the title claimed by her builders, in Eng
land, for boat they Just built to the order
Of the government for India, for service in
the Orissa canals. The dimensions of this
extraordinary little vessel are length,
eighty-seven feet beam, twelve feet ;
draught Of water, three feet nine inches.
The speed contracted for was twenty stat
ute miles per hour The hull, the working
parts of the engine and the propeller Thor
nycroft's PATENT are Of Bessemer steel, and
the woodwork of teak. The official trial Of
the boat was made on the fourteenth ult.,
under the inspection of Col. Haig, r. e.
chief engineer Of the Bengal Irrigation
Works, and the results were: With tide,
25.08 miles per hour against tide, "a. 10
miles per hour, giving mean speed Of "a. 81
miles per hour. In another official trial it
was shown that the boat could keep up a
speed of twenty-five miles per hour without
losing steam. These speeds are extraordi-
nary enough in themselves, but when it Is
considered that they are attained by boat
only eighty-seYen feet long, they become
absolutely wonderful, and far beyond any
thing ever before accomplished.
