The Cuban Affair.

The perplexing difficulty with the Spanish
authorities, growing out of the Cuban affair.
appears to be far from being satisfactorily ad-
justed. The Captain General persisted, at
the last dates, in proceedings against those
American citizins who were captured on
neutral Island or in neutral waters. Against
this our Government have justly protested, and
have despatched Com. Morris, in the Vixen, to
demand their unconditional and immediat re-
lease. The last account was that Count AL
coy, in reply to demand from our Cosnul,
stated that he was not clothed with diplomat
ic power, and had no authority to interfere
in the trial then pending before the Marine
Court. He stated likewise, that the case was
embarrassed by The form which it had assn
med. His answers on these occasions are
represented as exhibiting no hostile purpose
to the prisoners, as being invariably accompa-
MED with the most friendly professions to-
wards the United States.
The mission of Com. Morris, which is rep
resented as being of civil rather than of pro-
fessional character, will bring matters to an
issue. II the Peremptory demand of our gov
etnIheut Is NOT coihplleu VIII, We SEE no Otil-
er alternative left,but to enforce it.
The discovery Of the participation in the
Cuban affair of Gov. Quitman, and other high
officials-in the exercise of the " higher pow
er above the Constitution and laws-has
| complicated tie matter, and rendered it neces-
sary for our Government to proceed cautious
| " and surely, but yet with frmness and de-
acted in this delicate matter, thus far, with
all misunderstanding the honor and integ-
of our national character, and at the same time
n OF interfering with rights of a country with
which we are at peace.

Struck by Lightning.

We regret to learn that during the violent
thunderstorm which prevailed in this region
on Wednesday night last, the house of Mr..
Oliver Churchill in Ogle county was struck by
lightning. Mrs. C. was killed instantly, and
from the accounts Mr.. Churchill was not ex-
pected to live. Several other persons who
were in the building at the time, ware more
or less injured. So powerful was the shock
that the house was literary torn to splinters.
The stairs and partitions were all throw n
down, the walls and pastering racked to pie
ces, and the roof at the ridge parted several
inches. The question is not - where did II
strikel'' but " what part Of the house did it
not strike 20 There were eight persons in at
the time.-R0ckford rTl.7 Forum.

UNRoLLING a REAL LADY PRIEsTEss OF
IsIs-NoT GLDDoN's.--Mr. Arden, an enter
prising traveller in Egypt, has been more for
tunate than Mr.. Gliddon in his mummy adj
ventures, for he has succeeded in unroling an
Egyptian lady mummy g as is a lady," as
CAPITA in Cutie would say. A great number
of noblemen, principally members of the So
ciety of AntlquarlanS, met at Lord Landes-
borough's mansion, in London. to witness the
unrolIing. The case was rich with gold en-
belishments and hieroglyphics. The in
scriptiOn on the external surface read-''.4fl-
chSenhesi," or ''.She J0ho Tired by ISIS" thus at
once determining the sex of the individual
A learned gentleman explained the three
grades of preparing the mummy as laid down
by Herodotus, and In conclusion proceeded to
the dirty labor of stripping off the family
rags from the very brittle and bituminous
lady. The first discovery was that of the dor
sal strap of leather, extending in a chevion
shape from the nape of the neck to the lower
part of the ribs, the lateral extremities being
broader, and inscribed with certain characters
descriptive of the family or individual rank,
&C., Of the deceased, Presently roll of pa
pyrus was brought to light, inscribed with
portions of the Egyptian ritual. The body
being exposed and the planch incision laid
bare, the tin plate covering it was removed,
and some further careful exploration revealed
a very unusual feature, viz a silver plate in
scribed with an eye, symbolical of the sun,
over the region of the heart. The hands, on
removal, proved to have been prepared with
great care, all the fingers being encased in
silver previous to the application Of the coat
ing of bitumen. From the peculiarly of the
rolls, as well as other objects, il was thought
that the lady thus unceremoniously broken up
wos one of wealth and rank, who lived from
1000 to 1900 years before Christ, or about
5000 years ago. Who could she have BEEN
Probably the daughter of Pharoh, who found

FATE OF a FAITHFUL DoG.-A large
black Newfoundland dog, which has been
attached to Wells & Co.'S Express, at
Buffalo, for several years, was missing af-
ter the fire which burned the Office Of the
company in that city, and no trace Of him
could be found While cleaning away the
rubbish, after the fire, his body was found
in the safe At the time of the fire, after
it was ascertained that the building could
not be saved, some one went to the safe to
remove the books, when 1t is supposed
that the dog must have gone in. and the
door closing on him, he was unable to es-
cape, and there starved to death or was

left very favorable impression on the
minds of those who have had the pleasure
Of an interview with him Among other
good things which he has done, is the get

the western portion Of the State, which
must be attended with a beneficial result

education in the west. The cause Is now
evidently on the advance, aud if we all do
our duty, as Professor Root is doing his,
