Outrage ON American CitI-

The Brownsville Courier extra con
tains the following account of out,
RACES perpetrated on six American
gentlemen at Monterey, Mexico, which
the telegraph has briefly referred to :
On the evening of Tuesday, April
.2lst, Messrs. Ernest Leichbard,
Forbes II. Potter, Samuel B. Kath-
renS, Montgomery, Haptha and Rice
were quietly walking on the street, at
about II o'clock, conyersing in an
ordinary tone Of voice, when Senior
Davila, secretary Of the governor Of
the State Of Nuevo, made his ap.
pearanco on the balcony of the gov,
ornor's palace, and ordered patrol
to arrest them, which was done,
The patrol delivered them to the
police, and the latter conducted them
to the calaboose. They were thrust
into miserable, dirty cell, with about
seventy condemned felons, and passed
an uncomfortable night.
On the morning Of the 22d two Of
the Americans were ordered to carry
out and empty a large tub containing
the accumulated filth of twenty foul
hours. This they refused to do. The
order came from a prisoner employed
by the jailor to perform his menia
work and to execute his tyranni,
commands. This loafer and felor

bull halted, as he found himself face
to face with his daring antagonist.
This was the most solemn moment of
the fight. A profound silence sue
ceeded the noisy tumult and the
vehement shouts that had welcomed
the first fighter into the arena. The
bull, seeing that small enemy who was
laughing as it were at his fury, stops
ped as if to reflect. So great was the
silence at that moment, that one
would have thought the immense con.
course was engaged in the most
solemn religious devotion, instead of
being present at the noisiest and most
barbarous of public amusements.
The two adVersaries stood looking at
each other. Malinche shook her left
hand. The bull lowered his head and
made fierce onset, which she skill
fully avoided. The animal turned on
MS opponent again, and this time the
impetus with which he rushed for

A BULL FIGHT IN CUBA,
BY MARY MA. oAuILL.

When We arrived at the Plaza de
Ysros, an assemblage of not less than
ten thousand people had already con.
gregated to witness the great Spanish
national sport. Among the dense
throng were many Americans and
other foreigners, attracted thither, no
doubt, more by curiosity than desire
to sanction by their presence this
barbarous Gothic amusement. At a
signal from the Captain General, who
usually presides on these occasions,
the ring was cleared and a couple of
bull-fghters, mounted on rather sorry
looking horses, we're ushered in amid
the sound of trumpets and the cheers
Of the audience. The two bull-fght,
srs saluted the president of the Plaza
and rode around the ring accompanied
by their chulos or assistants and a
number of bandeillos, splendidly
dressed in jackets of lively and brill
liant colors.

What Makes a Town.

We copy the following from the
Toledo (0hie) Blade:
Not many years ago Canton in this
State, was one Of the dullest and least
progressive towns in Ohio. Instead
of increasing in wealth and popula-
tion, it was retrograding, as no one
thought worth while to settle there,
and leaving for more progressive To-.
calities. Finally, one man, Mr..
Ball, having invented an improve
ment in moving machines, proposed
that if the citizens of Canton would
loan him ten thousand dollars, to
manufacture them at that place, he
would Immediately erect a factory
They did it, and that one factory
was the nucleus around which the
following have gathered: Two i'm
mense agricultural implement manu-
factories, one Of paper and mower
knives, one Of saddlery hardware,
two of furniture, one of cultivators,
one of wrought iron bridges, and one
of soap, besides large number Of
others, mere or less expensive. 1t
must not be supposed that those we
have enumerated are small concerns,
the machine interest alone supports
ing 1900 people, The town has
treblcd in population, quardrupled in
wealth, and the people satisfied by
experiment that manufactures can be
made successful in the West, are stil
pushing forward in that direction.
