Remarkable Escape from Fire.

One of the most remarkable escapes from
fire on record is that Of James Langworth,
who was overtaken by the conffagration in
the Michigan woods. while near st. Charles,
Saginaw county. As the flames approached
his house he gathered together few small
articles of furniture, and attempted to get
to the village by the regular road. He had
proceeded but . short distance when the
flames shot across the road ahead Of him.
He then plunged into the woods. hoping, by
running. to head off the fire. He speedily
encountered an impossible barrier, and was
obliged to run back and across q burning
swamp. Having done this, he lost his way,
but again took to the woods, with the fire
following him so closely that he had to run
at the top of his speed. He finally got be-
yond the flames again, only to find them
shooting across his. path. He kept on his
way in this manner for several hours,
almost blinded with smoke, falling into
holes and stumbling over logs, with the fire
so near to him at times that it scorched his
face and singed his hair until he fairly out
ran it, and gained the open country and
was safe.

be eradicated if the Cubans succeed, and,
If they fail, Spain will not dare to be less

of liberation. As the sixteenth century

The Colered Cesveutiop.

On the last day Of the colored conven
ton at Columbia, South Carolina, SO the
Union reports:
Mr.. Pinchback, of Louisiana, offered q
resolution, which was adopted, setting
forth that as the time fixed for the meeting
of the present convention was unfortunate,
owing IN part to important canvasses going
on in many Of the Southern States, render.
ing it impossible for many influential col
Ored men to attend. and as it has been
stated that many colored men disapproved
the call as being for class convention, the
present president be authorized to call q
national convention, to convene at New Or
leans, Louisiana, on the second Wednesday
in April, 1872, on q basis Of representation
of two from all the States and Territories
at large, and one delegate for every 10000
voters and each fractional 10000 voters.
He gave, as some of his reasons for this
resolution, that an erroneous impression
had been abroad among Northern colored
people to the effect that they were ignored
by the Southern States convention.
Mr.. .Pinchback ventured the remark that
there was not one in the convention who
desired to 30 ignore them, and argued that
all the colored people throughout the
United States were equally interested.

A Sad I0cident.

The Chicago Eucning Journal relates the
following: cd.
One Of the saddest results of the great
conhagration was visible yesterday. Colonel
Niles, formerly. adjutant general under
Governor Yates administration, and for
some years past deputy county clerk and
assistant clerk of the board of supervisors,
was taken to the new Bridewell, raving
maniac. The sight, as he struggled VIC
about him, was indeed pitiable one, and a
very sad commentary on the holocaust.
Colonel Niles was well known as genial
person, and bore an excellent reputation
for his clerical ability. He was beautiful
penman, and very correct and systematic
in the conduct Of the very important bust.
ness which was entrusted to him. His age
is about thirty-tive years. When sane he
was considered very fine looking man,
and was always neat in his habits. He is
and was the sole support OF
widowed mother, who is nearly distracted
by the occurrence. Poor Niles; his numer-
Gus friends will shudder at his sudden
virtual death.

Mr.. W. D. Bancker has brought from

single leaf Of quafto Bible, charred around
the edges. 1t contained the first chapter of
the Lamentations of jeremiah, which opens
with the s6 GsWn fb words Hpw " doth
