F1RE.-About six o'clock last Sat,r.
day evening flames were observed
ieapIng up from the roof Of a Chinese
rookery on Main street, three doors
below Garrecht's meat market. In q
very short time after the alarm was
given a large crowd was on hand.
Hooks were used on the shantv next
70 uafrechts and on the opposite SHE
OF the cross street, and it was yauked
TO the ground in few minutes. The
nose cart was not long in arriving at
tlic scene OF the fire, and the water
was there in good time, considering
mat the lire was between two and
three hundred yards from the reservoir
and that the reservoir was frozen over.
When the stream from the hose began
to play on the flames, the fire "took a
tumble to itself" and very soon went
down and out. Six shantes were
burned and one torn down. They
were owned by Wing Kce. Mr.. Kee
says che no care. Chinese no muche
pay lent. Not muche loss" Wing
KEGS store had a close call The
House adjoining it being torn down,
a hose attached to pump threw a
stream of water sufficient to keep off
the flames till the town hydraulic got
in its work 1t is not known how the
fire started. The occupants of the
house where the fire broke out were
away at the time. They left fire
burning in the stove. 1t is very prob
able that it caught from the stove
pipe.

EPH. LUCAS, who arrived here last
Sunday from Boise, informs us that
the heads of two men, and also
hand, were found last Saturday un-
derneath the floor of a cabin near the
mouth of Grimes creek. Two emf
grants moved into the cabin, and
smelling stencil, they instituted a
search. The floor was taken up. and
they began to dig, and soon uncovered
the heads and hand, the fesl, of which
was intact The men who made the
discovery didn't dig for any more of
the remains, bat struck out for the tie
camp at the mouth of Thorn creek and
reported what they had found. A
party went over to make further ex-
| plorations, but had not returned when
Mr.. Lucas came along. There is nc
doubt that the men were MUIR
dered. Why the heads and hand, OF
hands, were Cat off, is mystery, un-
less the murder was committed else
where and the heads and hands chop
ped off and carried there and buried
so that in case the bodies should ever
be found they could not be identified
! The mystery may vet be solved.

The citizens of this place ought not
to allow the Chinese to rebuild on the
site of the old sllanties that were burn
ed down last Saturday. This is the
third or fourth fire that has broken out
in that part of town. If there had
been breeze the other evening the
fire would have crossed the street and
it is doubtful if the town cauld have
been saved. Experience has Taught
us that there is but little danger from
fire outside of the Chinese quarters.
If the whole of the Chinese block had
burned it would have been good
thing for the town.

A letter from General Grant to Sen.
ator Cameron, on the case Of Fitz John
Porter, dated February A, 1882, has
been made public. The recent maga-
zine article Of General Grant ON the
same subject presented all the state
ments made IN this last contribution to
the literature of the case. The letter
closes as follows: II commenced the
reading OF this case with the convic-
ton that General Porter had been gull
ty as found by the Court, but came out
of my Investigations with thorough
conviction that I and the public gen.
orally had done him fearful injustice,
and am entirely satisfied that any in
telllgent man, or lawyer, who will
throw aside prejudice, and examine
the case as | have, will come to the
same conclusion. AS stated in nv
letter to the President, feel it incum-
bent on me, in view Of the position
have held heretofore, and my failure to
DO then what now wish had dome
to DO all in my power to place General
Porter right before the public and in
future history, and to repair my own
unintentional injustice. I address this
letter to You knowing that you will
have desire to do just what your
Judgment dictates as being right in the
matter, and that you will state to
whomsoever may seem to you proper
and necessary my present convictions
in the case.
Many amusing stories are told Of
the way in which Cinnamon give ev-
ldence in Christian courts of justice.
In England, it is the custom to break
delicate china saucer over the head
of the Chinese witness: and this is
supposed to insure truth.telling. There
was Chinese witness in a trial which
was recently held in San Francisco
The judge, evidently not being quite
satisfied that the witness understood
the object of the torn he had just
gone through, asked him, as is usual
in such cases, if he understood the
nature of an oath. Perfectly" re
piled the witness with the utmost con
idence; 81 know that if ! tell a lie
every one in the court will be damned
An equally amusing illustration of the
ignorance Of the Chinese in the mat.
ter Of our judicial cath was furnished
some time ago 10y the native usher il
the consular court at Shanghai. He
was observed to be making an anxious
search for some missing object, and
on being questioned by the judge, he
stated that he was looking for the lit
tie book which is given to the witness
es to smell. And this man had beer
