CUBAN PoLITICs IN MADRtD--DREAp OF A REvo.
LUTON by AMERICAN LABoRERs.-Suime sensation
has been caused in Madrid by the Leon Esparol
having published an article attacking the Cover
nor-General Os Cuba, General Jose de Ia Concba,
for having, by decree OF the 9th June last, allow,
ed the immigration Of white lahorers and settlers
into the island. The Leon says that this decree
must necessarily facilitate the immigration OF
North Americans. al d it declares that the General
must have published it without consulting the
homo government, inasmuch as the latter, having
most reluctantly consented to the introduction of
Chinese laborers in 1851, would hardly have allow
ed in 1856. SO dangerous Il measure as the intro
duction of Americans. In virtue of this decree
the Leon declares 5000 americans have already
entered the island, and it remarks that they IRE
all Protestants, and that their religion alone, which
they cannot be expected to change, will prevent
them fran becoming faithful subjects of her Ma
jesty. Moreover, it says. these men are nearly
all unmarried, can be easily acclimated, are accus.
toned to fatigue, and will be n constant danger to
the island. They will in fuct, it says, endeavUr to
colonize Cuba as they did Texas, and when all is
ripe for n revolution they will promote one, and
finish by anncxing the island to the United States.
SINGULAR EFFECTS OF AN ACciDENr.-Mrs Mar,
shall, of Tallabatchee county, Miss, q lady some
what advanced in years and very corpulent, (her
usual weight il over two hundred pounds went
out in her carriage n few days since to call upUn u
friend, and on her return to her home was caught
in n violent storm. "A large tree was blown down,
and fell directly across her carriage, between her
and the driver, literally smashing the body of the
carriage to atoms, and yet neither she nor the dri'
yer were injured in the slightest degree 1y the
tree or the shivered atoms of the carriage body
The steps we're iron and folded up inside the car
riage, protected her feet from being crushed be,
meath the log. The fright threw Mrs. Marshall in.
to q severe sickness, and had the very singular eff
feet also of turning her head quite gray.-Memphis

The constitutionality Of the Maine Liquor Law
is to be tested in the United States Court. Some
four years ago Constable d.. Mott attached a guam
tity Of liquor in the store of David Clark in Hart
ford, Ct, under the Maine Law, and that attach.
ment has been followed by several trials in the
Hartford Courts, in which the juries failed to
agree. a.. L. Clark, son of David. and doing bust
ness in New York, claimed the liquor, and contes.
ted the suits. They now sue the Constable in the
United States Court, for Illegally seizing their liz
quor, and the constitutionality of the Maine Law
will be tried in the above Court The Clarks claim
damages to the amount of ten thousand dollars.
A Mr.. Jones, of Rutherford County, Tennessee,
held q constructing last fall, and invited assis.
lance from MS nelRnpOTS. Among Otner6 n negro
came to the constructing without his masters
consent, and was killed in the course of the night
by a drunken man, named lIasar. Hagar was
sent to the penitentiary, and the owner Of the ne
gro sued Jones for the value of the negro, and
obtained judgment, OF the ground that he was on
jones' premises and in his employ withou, leave.
Last Sunday at the close of the forenoon ser.
mon. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher called the atten.
ton of his congregation to the case of n colored
man, Il slave, who had been set free by his master,
with his two youngest children, and who could Oh.
tain the remainder of his family from the same
master, for a very reduced price. The slave had
applied to Mr.. Beecher for permission to go to the
Church door when the audience retired, and, with.
out saying one word, to hold his hat or hand for
those disposed To contribute. 60" said Mr..
Beecher, land don't bulge an inch" The color,
ed man went there, and five minutes after the
church was dismissed he could not have budged
an inch if he had tried.
The contents of the hat foutcd up 1927 20,
which, by evening, was increased to $500.
AFFECTING INCIDENT AT THE BLIND ASYLUM
During ths visit Of the Lancaster Fencibles to the
Blind Asylum, yesterday, a most affecting incl
dent occurred. The children had displayed their
musical talents 10 tho satisfaction of tho visitors,
when Col. John I. Riley was called upon to sing
"The Blind Boy" lie demonstrated that it would
be out of place, and feared the consequence. But
his remOnstraLces were met with pleasant as.
surances from all, and he finally complied with
the request. lie sang with peculiar richness and
cadence. The sensitive hearts of the little blind
ones were deeply touched, and n most affecting
and impressive scene followed. Before he had
finished, the little musicians who accompanied
him dropped their instruments and listened, and
their sobs ALMOST choked them. And when he
closed. the boys all came running to him, feeling
his hands and his face, and then his body. Tears
glistened in the eyes of every beholder. and Col.
Riley, forgetting the restraint placed upon man.
hood wept.--PhRadelphia Journal.
AN INCrDENT.-Mr. Robert Morris, the colored
lawyer, of Boston, recently bargained for a resi-.
dence in Caryville, Chelsea, for which he was to
pay S5l 900, but the fact coming to the ears of
some Of the select white inhabitants of that local.
ity, they sent to the owner of the estate a remOn-
STRANGE against MIR. Morris settling there. The
owner Of the house felt the force of the remon-
STRANGE, and the result is that Mr.. Morris can't
have the estate. The EceRing Gazette, from
which we gather these facts, says that 1.-THE op!
pressors of Mr.. Morris are those who have been
most in sympathy with Kansas, and most forward
in movements sympathizing with the oppressed,
and opposition from such comes with a bad grace"
1t is to be inferred that Mr.. Morris is man of
some means, and, if so, he must have been sur
prised at the conduct of the remonstrants, for he
is the Individual who declared at the Colored Con-
yeution at New Bedford that if the colored men
were rich, We should see tie white aristocracy
counting their society, inviting them to their hou-
SEES. and giving them their daughters !-BOston
Courier, 1871 uH.
FIRE DISTINGUISHING NATURALIZATION Rob
erts, a colored man of Philadelphia, has shown
us the model of an apparatus constructed on the
principle of a telescope, and which when extend
ed, is designed to conduct water forced into the
bottom from a fire engine)to the top of the highest
buildings. The pipe at the summit revolyes on
it's base, so that, by means of connecting chains.
the water can be elected in any direction. 1t is
complimentary to the ingenuity of Mr.. Roberts
that enough money has been subscribed in Phila-
delphia aud New York, by the fremen, !ur the
construction of a full.sized machine of this des.
%cription, which is now building. 1t will be drag
ged on wheels, 10 a perpendicular position. Mr..
r.. has the signature of Mayor Tieman and other
gentlemen, expressing confidence in its adaptation
to the purpose for which it is intended.-Jouynal
