Tho foreign dispatches. for several weeks past
have been burdened witn accounts Of tile prog
ross Of the English war against tho Aahantees,
but havo not up to this dato, indicatod what the
fuss is all about. Tho current number Of Ft.d-
se3's Magazine however, supplies tho deficiency.
1t appears that the English and tho Dutch swap
ped aomo property in Africa which neithor Of
them owned, md which ought to consign both
nations to the ponitentiary. The Fantoes hap
pened to bo on tho territory which the Dutch
gave to the English, and, being there, they
woro ewapped for another sat Of no

swapping process, Atjiompoa, King Of the
Fantcos, lost his Fetish stool, without Which his
temporal aud spiritual power WIS null apd void.
He didn't object to being swapped for Ton
yanzombe, or whoever is King of tho Dutch NO.
groos, but ho did object to tho loss of his stool,
and 40 he commenced search for it. While
searching for 1t he got into tho territory OF tho

Yesterdays RAILROAD D1sAsrER

We give this morning tho particulars OF sori-
oua railway disaster which occurred on the
Northwestern Railroad about quarter after 4
o'clock yesterday morning, near Kishwaulsoo
bridge, and not far from Woodstock, ILL., The
Groon Bay Express coming toward Chicago en-
countered n broken rail- and, though tho ongino
and mail-car passed it, tho other coaches wore
thrown from the track ind overturned. Fortu-
natoly, no one Was killed, though several per-
aons nro said to bo severely injured, aud nosrly
oil on the train were more or less stunned and
bruised. Tho baggage-car caught fro from tue
stove in turning over, and the wind carried tho
tamos to the coaches in tue roar, four of which
wero burned. Fortunately tho passengers Ind
1nade an exit before tho cars were fairly igutod
aud tho disaster is chiefly shocking in con-
temptation Of tho narrowness of their escapo
from being burned to death. II wo admit
TINT any railroad accidents arc unavoidable, this
one, perhaps, belongs IN that category. Tho
broken rail, 1t is presumed, Was occasioned by
tho atmospheric influenccs,- though the road
has beou recently ro-ironel, which suggests
the inquiry whether experiments haye failed to
provide rail TINT will resist such influences.
The fire was caused by tho oyorturning Of tho
Atovo IN tho baggage-car, which suggests another
inquiry, whethor human ingenuity Is u,1availlue
in tho effort to heat ours without exposing them
to the certainty Of destruction in case thoy are
oVorturned. II We admit that these things arc
beyond the roach Of man'a invontivo faoulty.
thon NC mutt admit that tho disaster on tho
Northwestern Road was unavoidable, II not
thon tho narrow escape from tue most horrible Of
all de"sha that moro than half hundred people
mado yesterday morning is another appeal to
tho Inventors ind to tho railroad men to furnish
"afeguards against the frequent recurrence Of
disasters from these causes.
