MARROW EscApE.-The Louisville Cour.
Ter of the 4th inst says:
Friday last, while the down train from the
Jacksonville Railroad was at Seymour, and
in the act of crossing the Ohio and Missis-
sippi Road, a train from Cincinnati came
dashing along at full speed, and when stop
ped, the cow-catcher of the Cincinnati loco
motive was fairly between two passenger
cars upon the Jacksonville Road. Another
revolution Of the locomotive wheels, and
many lives would have been lost, as the
cars upon the Jacksonville Road were
crowded The greatest alarm was manifest
ed. The women screamed, and after the
danger was over, the men cursed both loud
and deep It was indeed narrow escape.
This Ohio and Mississippi Road is managed
in such a manner as to deserve the condem>

WANTS TO BE 4 SLAtE.-The Memphi,
Appeal of the 8th, says:
novel case was tried this morning in the
Common Law and Chancery Cont of the
city OF Memphis, on the chancery side of the
court. Hannah, a free woman of color, who
had been manumitted by Mr.. David Jamison
of Shelby county, in this State, returned
from Ohio, here she was freed, and desired
Der former master chi. Jamison) ia take hen
back into bis household as slave. He was
disposed to CRAFTY her wishes, but desired
her TO consult an attorney. She cid so, and
John G. Fipnie fled in her name a petition
to the chancery court, setting forth the fact:
Of her manumission in tire State of Ohio
that she had returned to Memphis, where
she preferred to- live as slave with her old
master, than to be free in any of the free
States. She expressed her wish in open
court, and was closely examined by Judge
Ca, ulhers, as to her motives for returning tc
bondage. SHE spoke clearly and sensibly
saying that size preferred being slave, and
remain in Tennessee, rather than Do free in
Ohio; that she wanted Kind master to take
care OF her and Pr Divide for her wants. The
Court thereupon ordered deere e, in accord
ance with the prayer Of petitioner and the
law of Tennessee.

Curious, IF TRUE The latest news
from Europe, telegraphed from Halifax as
brought by tho America mail steamer, is
that the Spanish Budget had been brought
forward, and that it showed the estimated
national expenditure to be 81, 876, 900 under
the estimated receipts.
This, it must be confessed, is a result
very different from what was generally ex.
pected. The popular impression, any time
since the death of Ferdinand VII, in 1888,
has been that Spain was entirely pauperized,
that it was taxed to the very verge of en-
durance, and that, indeed, it mainly de.
pended upon foreign loans and remittances
from Cuba for the means of carrying on its
government, supporting its military and
naval force, and supplying its Sovereign with
money. But, If the news by the America
be true, Spain is infinitely better of, with
excess of revenue over expenditure, than
many nations which make greater show
than England, for example, With heavy tax
alton and increasing expenditure, or the
United States, with its public finances strong
only on two pOints-disbursing and borrow
ing. 1t becomes question whether, apra
rently not in want of money, Spain is likely
to sell Cuba to the United States.-Press

SINGULAR INCIDENTAL MAN DIGS HIS
OWN GRAvE.-Odr readers no doubt recol>
lect that some weeks ago We chronicled the
accidental shooting aud killing Of Mr..
Jones, near Waterford. His friends at
Waterford had made all necessary arrange
uents for the burial; Mr.. Mckinney was
employed to make the coffin and dig the
grave. But previous to the interment, the
relatives of Jones appeared, and the corpse
was removed, for interment in distant
church yard. Thus the grave dug by
Mckinney remained open. And now comes
the strangest part of this chapter of strange
incidents. Mckinney, while riding a few
days since, was thrown and killed His
coffin was made Of the planks sawed by his
own hands, on which the lifeess body Of
Jones had reposed and he was buried in
the grave which he had dug for Jones.
Thus is presented the unusual phenomenon
of man who "sleeps the sleep that knows
no waking" in the grave which his own
hands have dug,"-HOlly Springs Herald
