A FEARFUL SCENE IN PARAGUAY.
During the past fortnight, says the Bue
nos Ayres Standard, of a recent date,
events of much importance have occurred
in Paraguay. The allies have stretched
their lines around the mountains where
Lopez has-his headquarters, but not with
much effect, owing to the nature of tho
country. The last advices by the steam?
er from Paraguay, reveal the faot that
President Lopez is folly determined to
fight to the last. General Mona Baretto,
who made such a snccessful raid into the
ouemy's country, liberating some 12,000
women and children, was attacked while
defiling through a difficult pass in tho
mountains, twenty-one miles long; a
most desperate fight ensued. Tho Bra?
zilians formed as well as the defile would
admit, but the Paraguayans had a bat?
tery mounted on an eminence, which
raked the pass, and the rear of tho Bra?
zilians was completely cut off. Hun?
dreds of the unfortunate families perish?
ed, being between two fires, aud the two
cavalry regiments which wound up tho
rear wero completoiy cut off.

Four Buffalo editors, not ut all satis

paper life, recently determined to onjoy
a bnlloon excursion. In n short timo they
landed in tho top of tho tallest pino tree

Alleghanies, near Kinzua, Warren Coun?
ty, Pennsylvania. They stayed all night
in the tree, no doubt highly relishing
being rocked to sleep by tho wind.
Eventually they reached terra Jirina.
BALL IN HONOR OF THE PRESS.-Tho
Staunton Sjicclator states that it is the
purpose of Messrs. Peyton ?fc Co., of tho
Greeubrier Whito Sulphur Springs, to
givo a grand and imposing masked and
fancy ball in honor of the press. The
members of tho press throughout tho
country will bo invited to attend. The
Spectator is assured by Messrs. Peyton &
Co. that it will excel any ball which has
yet been given at tho springs.
Ko MUHLE NEOBO OUTBAGE.-From the
Macon Journal and Messenger, of jester
day, wo get the particulars of the most
fiendish outrage that has ever been com?
mitted in sloy country, barbarous or ci?
vilized. It appears that, on Thursday
last, two respectable yonng girls, residing
near Station 14, upon the Central Boad,
were on their way home from school,
when they were overtaken by two stout
negroes, who immediately seized them,
and despite their screams for aid, com?
mitted a diabolical outrage. Having ef?
fected their brutal deed of violence, one
of the negroes, who had bot one arm,
shook the mutilated stump of the other
in the face of the eldest of the two girls,
and exclaimed: "I wants my revenge and
I'm bound to have it. When I belonged
to your father I ran away, he followed
me to tlie woods and shot me, and I had
to lose this arm; do you tee it? Now I'm
bound to get even with him, and draw
his pocket-knife, he severed her arm en?
tirely from her body, between the wrist
and elbow joint. The two scoundrels
then broke away and ran for the woods.
Very fortunately the girls had presence
of mind enough to tie the mutilated
arm tightly above the elbow until medi?
cal aid could be procured, and it is bare?
ly possible that the young sufferer's
life may be spared.
The uews of this deed of violeuce ran
like wild-fire all through tho neighbor?
hood, and iu a short time a mounted
patrol was organized, who volunteered
to go in pursuit of the scoundrels. They
soon found one of them, whom they
questioued right sharply, but somehow
or other the uegro got lost somewhere iu
tho swamp, aud the party returned home
without him. Tho other, and by far the
worst of the two, succeeded in escaping
from that neighborhood aud made his
way toward Macou.
GOLD ron COTTON.-Tho New York
Herald of Monday, in its financial ar?
ticle, says:
Now that the Southern States are about
to commence a new cotton year, they
ought to transact tho whole of their cot?
ton business on a gold basis, just as the
foreign bankers have always done in their
dealings in bills of exchange. In this
way the whole Southern States might
gradually place themselves on a gold cur?
rency basis precisely the same as prac?
ticed iu California, thus ignoring the
Legal-Tender Act of Congress, just as
the loyal State of California always has
done, from tho beginning until now.
? Tho Southern States, by following the
I example of California in buying aud
i selling ouly for gold, would theu accu?
mulate a gold and bilver curreucy, which
would briug about a practical resump?
tion of specie paymeuts and protect
them from danger of loss from any fluc?
tuations that may arise in thu market
value of tho groeuback curreucy. Cot?
ton commands gold iu every marketj at
home aud abroad, and it is abettor basis
for the practical immediate resumption
of specio payments in tho Southern
States than the gold and silver mines of
California. Every Southerner is inte?
rested in the question, and every journal
in the South ought to exert its influence
to bring about this result without delay.
Let the South sell its products for gold,
and gold only, and let them keep their
surplus in gold as the only currency to
use, just as California always has done.
This will be some progress on the road
to specie payments, and it will tend to
keep gold in the country.
SWIFT RETRIBUTION FOR A HORRIBLE
CniME.-It is our painful duty, says the
Industrial Herald, of Scottsboro, Ala., to
record an occurrence in this County, on
Thursday, the 5th instant, which makes
our blood recoil and shocks every sense
of humanity. A young lady named
Susan Homes, aged sixteen or seventeen
years, went to a spring on tho farm of
Dr. P. H. Helton, one-fourth of a mile
from where she lived, for water. Having
overstayed her usual time, uneasiness
was excited, and the family wont to learn
the cause of her deteution. First, blood
was discovered, and soon her dead body,
with her skull split open with an axe, was
found, dragged a short distance from the
road. To add to the horror and grief of
her friends, it was also discovered that
her person had beeu violated. It was
known that a young negro man, John
Helton, had been choppier? near tho
spring. Swiftly ho was brought up, and
his bloody axe exhibited, which was fol?
lowed by his confession, and the out
; raged people huug him immediately.
A woman named Mrs. Gifford, living
iu tho Northern part of Marion Coauty,
Iowa, died Saturday from the effects of
j fright at tho eclipse. She had no know?
ledge of its approach and was alone at
the time it came on, with the exception
of a child four weeks old. Terrified at
tho sight, she seized her child aud fled
to a neighbor's, a mile distant. When
she reached there her reason had gone,
Sho lingered till Saturday, when she
died without her reason haviug returned.
Row IN TUSKEGEE.-A negro boy was
killed by a negro policeman in Tuskegee.
Ala., last night. He was disturbing ro
I ligious worship at tho negro church, aud
I was boisterous. lu undertaking to ar?
rest him a difficulty arose, and the po
' liccinau struck him with a club, which
j produced death.
j A man named John Bowen, a former
employee of tho Erie Railroad, has made
a confession in which ho declares himself
tho author of tho terrible disaster at
Carr's Rock, in April, 18G8, whereby
twonty or thirty persons lost their lives.
Ho says ho displaced a rail, thereby
causing the accident,
Tho colored waiters of the Internation?

assault was made upon tho cook, which
resulted in tho discomfiture of the color?

? STORY FROM "NED BEAC*."-A
friend, soys toe Columbas Sun, sends" us
the following story from "Ned Brace,"
the famous humorist of '-Georgia
Scenes." We do not remember to hare
beard it before, and do not think it has
ever been in print:
Mr. Bacon, of Edge field, Sooth Caro?
lina, the hero of the "Georgia Scenes,"
under the name of "Ned Brace," was
once courting a lady either in Georgia or
South Carolina. She had refused him
frequently, and he as often renewed his
unit. At one interview she became ex?
ceedingly annoyed at his importunity,
and tola him she conld not marry him,
that their tastes, opinions, likes and dis?
likes wore totally different. "In fact,'"
said she, "Mr. Bacon, I don't think
there is one subject on earth upon
whioh we agree."
"I assure you, madam, that you are
mistaken," said Mr. Bacon, "and I can
prove it."
"If you will mention one thing about
which we agree, said she, "I will marry
you."
"Well," said Mr. Bacon, "I will do it.
Suppose, now, you and I were traveling
together, we arrive at night at a hotel,
and there aro only two beds vacant, in
one there is a man and in tho other a
woman, which bed would you select to
sleep in?"
She arose indignantly aud replied,
"With the woman, of course, sir."
"So would I," earnestly replied Mr.
Bacon.

SNOW IN JULY.-On the 29th and 30th
of last month much snow fell iu various
parts of France and Northern Italy. On
MOuut Cenis it fell twenty iuches deep,
on Mount Genevre thirteen inches, and
tho suburbs of the towu of Luze wera
covered with a layer three inches thick.
A raptured writer inquires, "What is
there under Heaven more humauizing,
or, if we may use the term, more angel

woman?" Two black eyes is the only
answer thought of nt present.
