REVOLUTION.
The Future OF Cubn.

1t is true that the "Ever-Faithfu
Isle" is about to lose its character fol
perpetual faithfulness. Revolution
stares her in the face, and she seems by
no means disposed to shrink away in
strange and somewhat perplexiDg one
In the mother country successful reve-
luton has been accomplished; Queen
Isabella has been driven from the throne
and forced to seek refuge in other
lands, aud the storm of popular indig-
nation against her is so great that her
pictures are removed from all public
places and her memory is derided by
the very men who were once readiest to
do her honor.
The question now arises, how is this
change in Spain to affect Cubaf That
which was loyalty thres months ago is
treason now, and Cuban loyalty must
either conform itself to Spanish loyalty,
or set up new affairs of independence in
its pelitical sanctuaries. If it be law
full and patriotic for the people of Spain
to overturn the monarchial form OF
government to which they had bees SO
long accustomed and had 80 soleInnly
pledged their fealty and obedience, it
surely cannot be very wrong for the
people of Cuba to assert their claim to
the privilege of sell. government. Their
situation as above observed is a per-
picking one. There are three horns to
the dilemma. Should they determine to
remain true to the dethroned Queen,
by asserting an allegiance which they
have never lain aside, they will find
themselves in conflict with the
new de .factO government of the
revolutionary Junta, and will be obliged
to maintain their position at the point
of the bayonet, or suffer the coasequen-
ces of defeat. If, on the contrary,
they submit to the new order of events,
they will be opposed by all the parti-
sans of the old Imperial government,
and in the end only secure for them
selves a misfortune rather than bene-
fit. All things considered, it is Just
about as safe for them to play for the
greater stake of independence--thou
even in that case they will be hamper
ed by their peculiar institution" !"
which, since the accomplishment of
emancipation in the United States, has
chaHged from a source of strength to
one of weakness.
AS to the filibustering expeditions
which are so much talked, we have but
little faith either in them or their mis-
sion. Our people have quite enough to
do in the management of their own
affairs without thinking of Intervention
in the affairs of others. Lawless mill
tary expeditions have never yet accom-
plished any good for our country, and
the hope that they may achieve any
thing beneficial at this juncture is alto.
gether chimerical. Let us attend to
our own reconstruction, CONNER
cial, agricultural and political
and have Cuba to her destiny. The fu.
ture of that beautiful island is already
foreshadowed. Emancipation, not only
of the blacks but of the whites, will
in a few years be an accomplished fact,
and when the pear is ripe it will fall by
the laws of political gravitation into
the bosom Of the Union. Whether that
ripeniag be brought about in ose year
or ten, is matter to Us of but little
mOment.-NeW Orleans Times.

A Rome letter in the New York World
says: "Last week every one was talk
ing of the vice rector of the Scotch
College having been carried off by
brigands. This week it is the robbery
in Princess Witgenstein's honse, and
the pluuder of her valuable jewelry and
objects of art, besides ready money,
amounting to about $4,000, which oc.
cupies the gossip monger. of Rome.
The princess had gone out for a drive,
and all her servants were absent on
leave last Sunday afternOon-All Saints
day, by the by-when this great coupe
was effected. 1t is still mystery who
the robbers were, where they came from,
how they got into the house, and still
more how they got ont, the door being
found bolted on the inside when the
princess returned, so that an entrance
was only effected for her by means of a
crowbar, but it is suspected that the
robbers were professional, who came to
Rome tempted by accounts of the prin.
cess great wealth in jewelry, and the
unprotected state of her house"

A New York Herald correspondent had
a conversation, recently, with Congress
man Boutwell,, who, in answer to inqui-
ries, stated that he should advocate the
exactisn of more stringent measures OF
reconstruction in Virginia, Mississippi
and Texas than had been required from
the other States. He believed that spe-
Gle payments can be FASTENED only by
advancing prosperity, and not by legis-
lation. AS to the suffrage question, he
was of the opinion that Congress had
the power to declare who may vote for
Presidential electors, Senators and Con-
gressmen, if not the power to regulate
the entire question of suffrage in the
States.

Terrible Explosion-lIen Blown Half
m Mile

From the Macon Journal and Messenger
Henry B Shackelford, son of our es-
teemed fellow citizen, lawyer A. B.
Shackelford, who is new engaged as a
civil engineer on the Pacific railroad, in
letter to his sister, gives an account of
a terrific explosion, from which he mar
rowly escaped destruction. As Mr.. S. is
known in Macon, his old home, his let
ter will be interesting to our readers.
His letter is dated, "Four hundred miles
from San Francisco, October 90, 1853"
He writes:
Between the hours of eleven and
twelve, yesterday, quite catastrophe
happened here. The powder magazine,
containing about sixteen hundred kegs
of powder, exploded. Our tent was sit
uated about one hundred and fifty feet
from it, and how my companion and
myself escaped is perfectly wonderful,
both being in the tent writing. A flash
proceeded the explosion, giving me a
few seconds notice, time enough to fall
full length on the ground and call out
to my friend to do likewise, which
think accounts for his and my escape,
for persons all around us were either
blown to pieces or burned very badly.
Among the injured is lady (wife of a
riding MASTERY who being very near the
magazine Of course suffered; but l am
happy to say she is not dangerously
hurt. A white man who by his care
lessness was, it is supposed, the canse
of the calamity, lighting his cigar or
pipe too near the powder, was blown
st least half mile, and two Cinnamon
close by him were sent an equal dis
tance in an opposite direction. Two
others have not been found, and there
is no telling how far they have been
blown.
Although lying some distance off on
the ground, l was rolled over several
times by the conclusion, but was not
hurt in the least. l think my friend
and myself are the only two near by
who came off safe. Our tent was knock
ed into doll rags, the table we were
writing on sent twenty feet or mere,
the book had in my hand few mo-
ments before, was found fifty yards
from where the tent stood, and of the
adjoining tent, in which there was
stove, neither tent nor stove has since
been found. So you may imagine the
power of the explosion. Mr.. Caldwald-
er's portable house was smashed, and it
was lucky for him that he was absent at
the time. AS far as ascertained, six
were killed, between twenty and thirty
wounded, and two are missing.
This should be lesson not easily for
gotten, anu | think more care will be
taken hereafter, especially in the loca-
tion of our camp.
Knowing that you would hear that
some of the civil engineers were badly
hurt, write to let you know l am safe.

Double headed Girl. ior New Orlenn.

DOubie hendcu "ffis IOt Ne" oriehhr
The New Orleans Picdyune says: "We
paid visit on Friday to that most
wonderful of natures freaks, the dou-
ble-headcd colored girl, or perhaps it
would be more correct to say the two
girls in one. For convenience we shall
speak of them in the plural. They are
entirely distinct, as far as mind is con-
cerned, laughing and chatting with
each other, and being apparently on the
most intimate terms, and one may have
headache or cold without the other
being affeeted, but any fever or other
serious disease affects both equally.
Thor bodies sio sepaIato fium The
small of the back up, each having a
perfectly formed bust and head, two
arms, ETC., and each has two legs, but
there is only one trunk. Both are re-
markably intelligent, reading and writ
ing with ease, while their manners are
really refined. In quite lengthy con-
versation, they did not make a single
grammatical error, and their language
was unusually select. Upon question
| ing them as to their education, they re-
piled that they had been carefully
taught by their former mistress, Mrs.
Smith, in Columbus, North Carolina, in
which village they were born.
They are now fifteen years old, and
more than ordinary bright for girls of
their age, having had the advantage of
foreign travel. They both sing very
sweetly, one having soprano and the
other contralto voice, and we have
rarely heard two voices that Blended so
perfectly in duet. Among their other
accomplishments is that of dancing,
and the manner in which they manage
to execute a waltz is truly wonderful.
When standing at ease the left foot of
one and the right foot of the other do
not lie fat upon the floor, but rest up.
on the toes In walking, however, they
step with all their feet alike, though
they can hold up two feet and walk
with perfect ease with the other two.
In speaking of them as one, they are
called Millie Chrisie, but in addressing
them separately one applies the distinc-
tive appellation, she on the left being
called Millie, and she on the right
Chrisie; though Chrsie in addressing
her other half, calls her "sister." There
is striking resemblance between their
faces. and the conformation of their
heads is much the same-Chrisie per
hsps shade brighter.
Before seeing these strange girls we
had fancied that we would experience
feeling of repugnance, but the first
glance at their bright, cheerful faces dis.
PEELED that idea effectually.
