One tad aspect of the difficulties which now threaten Cuba may be found in the certainty that upon a very slight provoca tion the Spanish free black, numbering 2.1,000. slid the native Cuban of equal strength, wilt rise some day in bloody in urrciion in the city of Havana. Fifty thousand blood-thirsty wretches, seeking veuuavce far wrong, real and imaginary, ) oiue time in the not far distant future Jeleotnly and horrify the Civilized world with a record of i .Vlit butchery snd cru el luasaucre. Naturally tbe native Cubans are a peautalle and patient people, while theSpaiiiah-speaking blacks have for centu ries submitted to tho odious imposition uf proHiription and the discrimination of law agaitihi their interests, until they have de servedly wou a reputatiou for humility snd quiet. But tbe latent doil lurking iu their veins, through trhivh courses the hot blood if the tropics, once aroused, they will 1st SHda that humility to assume tbe (character of fiend. Havana, then, rest to-uy upon a volcano, and the eruption may come at any hour. In the meantime let us hold the parties responsible for the policy which provoke tliesj people to seek rengeauce tu a strict accountability. They ni ii know the danger which surrounds thetii, and knowing it should make prori iou to avert it. 15ut their conduct ia such a to hasten their impeudiug doom. , Pro mise alter promi e ha beeu nude by them to reform the abuses under which the peo ple are becoming so reative ; but not a sin gle promise has beeu fulfilled. The Ulsnd 1 baa uo regular or direct representation lit the Government ; slavery exists throughout iu leng'h and breadth, and it is ruled by o.T;cih of Spanish birth, who are natural ly the enemies and oppressors uf the na me. io wuiider, then, that the people gruaii and complain. Theae facts are often UM-d now-a-dy as argument to prove that it u lbe duty of the United States, not on ly as au act of humanity, but in preserva tion ol our own right and privileges, to us ume the repoiisibi!ity of a protectorate over the ii.la.id. We know very well that uuder existing circumstances the American people sutler iu the loss of profit from the SpanUh db-crimiuatioii agaimt our com uieroe with Cuba more than lite cost of a aar with Spain ; but we have had uo pre text heretofore to forcibly demand a revo cation or moderation of those discrimina tions. Nuw that the pretext for such a de maud is furiiU-Lcd by the outrage egainst our flag committed by the Spanish authori ties we would be craven , indeed, not to take advantage of it. But it is to be hop ed that force will not le required. How- everhliml tbe pauisli authorities in Cuba may be to their oaru interests and disre gardful of our, or cruel sud iuhuunn iu the conduct of the admicUtration of affair on the i!nd, there i every reason to believe that Ptesideut Caste! la r is in earnest when be proiuhes a satiafuctory solution of the pending difficulties. It i true that he may nut be able to execute hi design or de sires, and thst hi order , for that purpose j may be disobeyed, and we m-ty a well be gin now to calculate tbe responsibility which kill reat upon u at a Government if they are disobeyed ; but we nio.it not forget that our duty as a civilix.-d nation, amena ble to the r-ouireme nts uf tHuotive a well as indeSnite civilized ioternatioua! law, de mand patience iu thMextremitr.

For this purpose ten targets, one hundred feet in lengthi were placed at a distance' of fifty feet nparr. the .fiit being one timusand yardaietun the gun. In the first trial six hundred shots were fired, of which live hundred uud twen-tv-six struck the targets ;but the party who was bundling the gun did not have the proper rangf, sud a second trial was had. In this, a in the firmer, six hundred rounds were fired, with the following re Suitsj The first 'target wa struck three hundred ami Mven limes; tho second two hundred aud forty-four, the third one bun. dre) and five, the fourth twenty-four, the fil'lh one. the sixth none, the seventh four, tho eighth three, and tlieninli three, while the tenth wn nt touched. When it is stated that the targets were made of Inch pine boards, and the targets were struck in sllC91 times, the tremendous destructive power of this modern implement of warctn be fully realized. The time ousuuied in firing those six hundred rounds wss very short, and hsd it been in reality a regiment advancing, even on the double quick, tbe gun could bsve been worked with such ef fect that scarcely a man would have lived to reach it.- - : ),.,.; After the experiments were completed the operator turned bis gun on a flock of duck out in the bay, and hef" they rea lized their danger half a dozen of them . ... . r were Killed, proving that it might be used with success iu this branch of business. . 4 A SALOON BPt$0DB., The New York Tribune teli the fol lowing story ; A msn nanid WeiholJ enfersd a saloon in India street. liwklyn.

After drinking, he seated himself in a chair in the centre of the room, and soon sfter began to stare at tho proprietor, wbj imagined the customer to be deeply eng-iged in thought. The saloon keeper, desiring to go out, aked the visitor tu attend to hi affairs in hi absence, and although there was no reply, he t.mk it for granted that as request would be complied with, and, iminndi ite'y left the silonn. A little while afterward be returned, and the visitor still at upright and motionless near the table. The brewer who supplied the nstauraut kesm.r with beer soon afterward came in and invited all hands to drink. The man at the table failed to respond, and the saloon-keeper, becoming enraged at hi in difference, came fmni behind the counter. pulled him out of his chair, dragged him to me nar. ami siioveu a glass oi tteer to ward him. As the proprietor withdrew bis hand front the collar of the visitor, the attcr sank to the floor, and the start lingl discovery was made that VV'cibold was dead. He had probably expired immediately after drinking the glass of beer, snd had been a corpse for wre than an hour.
