TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Man FrighffulIy Crushed
Wonderful Escape.
From tbe Huntsrille Independent.l

From the Huntsville independently
A terrible accident occurred yesterday
morning about half-past eight O'CLOCK at
the feed and livery stable, near the
spring, kept by Mr.. J. H. Ewing. Mr.. 5.
l.. Mosely, one of the proprietors Cf the
" Cherokee Magic Relief" medicines,
was standing in the stable superintend-
ing the grooming of his horses, which
were in 3 shed OF the stable, when the
loft above gave way from an overweight
of corn and fell, crushing down upon
him, burying him under q mass Of per-
haps one hundred barrels of corn. The
)ists gave way in the middle, one of
them striking Mr.. Aosely On the head,
bat by good fortune he was thrown un-
der the beam, and it protected him from
the immense weight Of the corn, or else
he must have been crushed to death.
The erssh Of the falling mass attracted 8
few persons to the scene; who went Wig
orousiy to work to relieve the sufferer
from his perilOus condition, which re-
quired at least twenty minutes to effect.
1t was found that his left leg had been
frsctg ,ed below the knee, A,1 right ankle
severely sprained, and had horrid cash
cut over the right eye, Most fortunately
he received no internal injuries. The

The Difficulties that Brazil has

From the Philadelphia Age.I

From the Philadelphia Age.l
The Psrsgusyan contest is not yet
closed. President Lopez has collected
the remnant OF his army at some point
in the interior, and is engaged in forth
fying a strong natural position. This
will protract the fight, as the allies will
have to move slowly and cautiously
when they sbandon the support OF their
II set. Already has there been an open
outbreak among the leaders OF the allies.
The Marquis de CsXias and Gen. Hervsl
have resigned, and supreme command
has been conferred on the Brazilian Gen.
eral de SOuzs. Brazil is determined to
push on the war column, no matter what
such a course may cost in money or
men. The Emperor OF that country
wishes to rule the vast region reached by
the Paraguay and its tributaries, and
hence his fierce opposition to Lopez
But the allies OF Brazil are not disposed
10 sell their rights to the greedy ruler OF
the united forces. They see the impend-
ing danger, aud hence the factions and
parties in the army, and the constant
change of commanders. As the army Is
called upon to endure greater hsrdships
in the interior OF Paraguay, the discon-
tent will reach the rank and file, and
then the trouble will become more dark
and dangerous. The contest is not yet
ended. With Lopez in or out of the
country, the PArsguayan hatred for the
allies is so ingrained in the masses OF
Paraguay that they will struggl lie on
while a ray Of hope remains. II Is deeply
to be regretted that the United States
cannot act rs mediator in this quarrel,

Mark that, says the Louisville Courier.
When the subjsct of emancipation used
to be sgitated, the Tribune and other
Radical organs assured the people that
the negroes, when emancipated, would
thrive and flourish and become q great
and prosperous people in our lard, yet
now these same organs tell US that the
emancipated negroes are dying out, and
that the fact Of their rapidly approaching
extinction is certain to be exhibited by
every census. The present Radical con-
fessiOns on this subj set are enforced con-
fessions. The negro race is setuslly
vanishing like black frost in the sum
shine. Various cases, all irresistible, are
contributing to the inevitable re-
suit. We are teld on good authority
that there is not in all the South q county

SPAIN AND CUBA.
The London Times Jusiilies the
Cuban ReVOlutiOnisIs.

The subject which most occupies the
minds OF Spaniarda at the present mo-
ment, and which will try 10 the utmost
the Judgment and the vigor of the Exc
cutive, is the state OF Cuba. The history
of the Spanish colonies In America is one
of the saddest. The loss OF the most
noble dependencies in the world proved
no lesson to the crown aud Government
of Spain. If England mismanaged az
fairs in the colonies which are now the
United States, she was careful not to
r. peat the blunder. Our colonial Office
NAV have kept Canada and Australia
and the cape in leading-strings rather too
long, but in no dispute with them was 1t
possible for the settlers to urge that they
were plHndered By the mother country
and its officials. At present, every cause
OF dissatisfaction has been removed by
the concession of practical independence
and the consequence is an etfnsive loyal
ty toward the Crown and the United
Kingdom which sometimes makes Eng
Iishmen smile. Very different hiss been
the course of Spanish administration.
Successive generations of officials have
notoriously iattened on Cuba. Every
place OF honor and large emolument
have been conferred on native Spaniards,
and the very grievances which alienated
Mexico and Peru have been renewed
with still greater enormity in Spain g
only remaining great colony. 1t is said
now that the insurrection is extending,
that the great majority OF the younger
men of the island are eager for iGde-
pendenee, and that if Cubs is to be re:
| iaIned an army Of 10000 men must be
dispatched to maintain the Governors
authority. II it be not too la.e, we
would gladly see a policy OF justice to-
ward the colony tried, 10 preference 10 :
war costly to the mother country s1o
ruinous TO the dependency. Let 1t be re
membered, too. that the Spanish Crete
will not want its sympathizers, and per
haps its volunteers. The judgment 0
the Cortes and the new Executive vii
be measured by the world according Il
their skill IN dealing with this the mos

And so Phil. Sheridan goes back to the

fore, q simple Major General, with 9 de-
psrtment command, bestowed by Press

create, "Tlme sets all things even"
and 1t has again brought the elements OF
evil face to face with the true and gallant

integrity and patriotism in supreme
power to hack him, Lieutenant-GenefaI
Sheridan will carry no vlndletlve Ieel-
ipgs back to the scene OF his former con-
fiicts, but with the same lnvlnclole WILL
he will set about the complete restera-
fion of law and order in his command.
The yery fact of his return to that dis
turbed region will alone be palliative of
impossible estimate, Even the most
daring a3d defiant mslcontents Of Texas
must feel that farther hostility TO the
Government is useless, and they will
yield to the inevitable results OF recon-
struetion with the best grace they can.
Murders and Outrages upon Union men
will cease-the laws and the courts will
be respected-and the protection Of the
peoples rights as indicated in the new

reign of anarchy, and speedily place the
Lone Star State in the line OF regenera-
ted governments. no act OF the Presi-
dent can be more significant than this
and none will result IN more beneheent
