FAMINE AT THE CAFE DE VERDs.-ARRlvAL OF
AMERICAN SUPPLIEs.-Letters have been receiv-
ed in New York from A. j. Martens, Esq, Uni
ted States Consul at st. Vincent, Cape de Verbs
announcing the arrival of the first shipment of
provisions sent out from New York for the re-
lief Of the starving population of the Islands,
OF the value of this timely aid, our readers may
form some idea, from the fact that the Govern
or General bad found it necessary to proceed in
person to the neighboring coast of Africa to OBJ
tain supplies of food. The first Of the New
York vessels which reached the islands was the
N. Hand, whose owners, Messrs. Riess Il Co.,
generously placed it at the disposal of the COM
mittee of subscribers. Two Others followed
close on her track, and no doubt arrived short
ly after. Immediately on the receipt of the first
cargo of provisions Mr. Martens took steps to
have it properly distributed With this view he
directed circular to the different AdminiStra-
dores de ConSello requesting them to receive and
supply the provisions to all who were really in
need of them, and recommending that they
should call in the aid of the Wears of the differ
ent parishes to assist them in making discrim-
mating distribution. The quantity of provis-
ions remaining at the time of this opportune ar
rival was so small that it became necessary to
distribute them in rations quite inadequate to
sustain life for any heightened period. 1t must
be gratifying to the benevolent individuals who
contributed to the New York fund, to know that
the aid which they so promptly furnished has
been the means of saving large numbers of hui
man beings from perishing

CHARTER OAK.-Thc interest felt all over our
country, in the old Charter Oak of Connecticut
is evinced in the fact that the same morning the
tree fell, there were applications to Mr.. Stuart,
from residents of Texas, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, (the President of Jefferson College in
that State,) Minnesota, (for the Historical Soci-
ETY. in that Territory for fragments of the tree
to be preserved as sacred relics One man ap-
piled for piece for u cabinet of Natural Histo-
ry in San Francisco, and for cane for Rev.
Horace Bushnell of that State. Both of his re-
quests were complied with. 1t was estimated
that cord and half of wood was carried off
the morning the tree fell. Mr.. Stuart, however,
provided watchmen to see that undue liberties
were not taken; and he had guard about the
tree all night long. The fate of this tree will
be commemorated centuries hereafter. Old men
bowed with age, begged a sprig in commemora-
ton. They had heard the story of the tree in
their childhood, and were saddened at its fall in
their old age.-Hart. C0uvaat,

The Russians after the Peace;

According to the correspondence and the ar
ticles which we find in the English journals,
Russia does not depOrt herself after the peace
like power which felt humiliated On the con-
trary, she carries herself with naughty air to-
wards her late enemies and especially towards
England. She refused the English Commission
er admittance to the fortress Of Kars, and be-
fore surrendering that Asiatic stronghold to the
Turks, she is demolishng all the works as thor
oughly as the Allies destroyed the works on
the south side of Sevastopol. She raises ques-
tion of boundary in Asia with Turkey, and oh
stinately adheres to her own Interpretation of
the treaty Of peace.
Then we find them building new fortress at
the mouth of the Danube, preparing to recon-
struct the Sevastopol docks, and strengthen her
defensive works at Ncolaeiff and Odessa. Her
Baltic feet is being increased by new war steam
ers, and Cronstadt is to be more strongly fortl-
fed than ever. The Aland Islands are to be re-
garisoned, and no doubt, in due time, the Bo-
marsund Notifications will be replaced by new
works not so easily destroyed as the old ones
were. On every side Russia is actively aug
menting her powers of defence and attack
Such are the practical answers which Russia
makes to the bOmbast of the English press about
her exhaustion and humiliation in the late war.
The war, in fact, settled nothing, and effected
nothing beyond an enormous waste OF lie and
treasure The Eastern question still remains a
source of disquietude and fear The 'Sick Man"
has not improved, but grown worse under the
treatment of his Western physicians. "The lib
critics of Europe" may be disturbed on any day.
Nothing of practical value has been done to
promote the independence and prosperity OF the
Danubian Provinces. Not single people, state
or country in Europe has been bettered by the
war. Oppression is ranker now over Europe
than hQfora tho war pOmmpncpd
And intelligent far-seeing Americans have
been abused aDd denounced because they with
held their sympathies from the Allies while they
waged war whose barren issue they foresaw
and predicted. They were not deceived by
sham professions, and the result has justified
there reserve. Popular liberty gains nothing
by the Russian war, and England has lost and
not gained by it, because she feared to strike
bold blow for popular rights in Europe.-M T.

SETTLEMENT OF THE CENTRAL AMERICAN tlUEs-
TIoN.-By the steamship Hermann, arrived at
this port from Southampton, we have dates to
Aug. 18th, 1885, The Central American ques-
ton has been definitely settled. So far as Hon
duras is concerned, the matter has been arrang-
ed between Lord Clarendon and Sir Don Victor
Herran, Plenipotentiary for Honduras in Lon
don. The treaties drawn up by these negotia-
tors have already been signed, and consists
lst Of a general treaty of amity and com
merce.
3D. OF a convention for the adjustment of all
claims of British subjects on the government of
Honduras, and for the extinction of any Indian
(Mosquito) tribes within the territories recog-
nized as pertaining to Honduras; and
Sd. convention for the restoration of the
sovereignty of Honduras and of the Bay Islands.
The convention for the restoration of the Bay
Islands is that which from the circumstance of
their occupation and colonization by Great Brit
ain having been regarded in the United States
as fragrant violation of the Clayton and Bull
wer convention, first claims attention and will
excite much interest The convention restores
these islands to sovereignty of Honduras, only
stipulating, on behalf of the people who have
established themselves there under the British
occupacy, the perpetual enjoyment of certain
rights and privileges. The ground upon which
the restoration is made is the Importance of
preserving neutral the route of the proposed in
ter-oceanic railway through Honduras.
Such are the terms of the arrangement be-
tween Great Britain and Honduras, and it viii
only require the approval of the Legislature of
Honduras, which will be given of course. 1t
should be observed that the Government of
France has agreed to the article guaranteeing
the Honduras railway as an appendix to treaty
with Honduras already existing. 1t is well un-
derstood that these guarantees secure an amount
of public interest in this railway which insures
its speedy construction.
In respect to the remaining issues in the Cen
trail American complication, it has been agreed
between Lord Clarendon and Mr.. Dallas, that
the port of San Juan de Nicaragua (Greytown)
shall return under the sovereignty of Nicarau-
gua subject, however, to the same stipulations
with the Bay Islands. The Mosquito sovereign
ty, so called, is to disappear forever and the
Mosquito Indians are to concentrate themselves
within certain defined territory, within which
they shall have, for term of years, such pos
sessory rights as are accorded to the Indians on
the "American Reservations" Meantime they
are to enjoy a small annuity from the State of
Nicaragua, to be fixed by arbtrators, who are
! to be appointed in the same manner with those
| charged with similar duties in Honduras Such
is the final result of the Central American inn
broglio and we cannot doubt but that it will
prove satisfactory to all parties interested, with
the possible exception Of fGuatemala.-M y. Ece

General jackson and MIR. Buchanan.

The most disreputable attempt yet made to
injure Mr. Buchanan--says the Washington Union
lis that which seeks to make the impression
that Gen. Jackson lacked confidence in him ON
account of his conduct in the unfortunate diff
Guilty as to the charge of 'bargain and corrup-
ton" which grew up out of the election of Mr.
Adams in 1926. We have already published
two letters from Gen. Jacksons son, Andrew
in which he triumphantly vindcates the memo
ry of his father, and entirely refutes the allega
tion that Mr.. Buchanan did not enjoy his entire
confidence. 1t will be remembered that An
drew Jackson was induced to appeal to the
public in consequence of the disgraceful viola
ton of all decency and propriety by the publ-
cation of certain confidential letters of his faith
er. One of these private letters, an extract of
which was so published, purported to bear date
late in February, 1874, and in this extract Cen
eral Jackson aludes in terms of dissatisfaction to
the conduct of Mr.. Buchanan in the affair re-
ferred to. We now have information from
Nashville Tennessee that the person who has
thus violated General Jacksons confidence, and
furnished for political effect what purports to
be an extract from one of his private letters is
Major w. b. Lewis. The gentleman who gives
us this informotion was one of the most inti-
mate friends of General jackson, and member
of Mr.. Polk's cabinet. In regard to the alleged
extract he says: .
81 shall not believe that he General Jackson)
ever SO expressed himself until see the letter
in his own handwriting. Such tricksters could
easily add to or cause word which would en-
tirely change the whole meaning of a sentence"
AS we understand the matter the whole credit
to be given to the extract rests upon the asser-
ton of Major Lewis that he has furnished the
copy of it for publication. By the very fact OF
thus abusing the confidence reposed in him by
General Jackson he forfeits all claim to credi-
blity. The fact that he has suppressed the resi-
due of the letter furnishes strong evidence thai
the extract is either not genuine or that it il
garbled and altered so as to pervert its true
meaning. Every honorable mind is justified in
pronouncing it a probable forgery, unless Major
Lewis produces the whole letter in General
Jackson's own handwriting, and together with
it, the letter of his own to which it was an ans
wer. The gentleman before alluded to not only
asserts as fact susceptible of proof, that Gen
Jackson approved the selection of Mr.. Buchanan
by Mr. Polk as member of his Cabinet, before
the appointment was made. but that after it was
made, and after the date of the pretended letter
to Major Lewis, Gen. jackson wrote to Mr.
Polk, expressing his cordial satisfaction at the
appointment Of Mr.. Buchanan. This letter is
in existence, and its contents are so directly
contradictory of the pretended extract, that it
strongly corroborates the conclusion that the
extract is q forgery

Horizons OF THE JAIL OF VIENNA.-But let
us listen for moment to the voice of a more
recent victim of the Austrian Court, the young
and patriotic Count Gonfalonieri whose crime
it was to be an Italian and to love his country.
In few of the most awful lines ever penned,
thus he wrote the story of his life;

FAsHIoNABLEs AT SARAToGA.-We find in the
correspondence of the New York Herald, the
following:
The circumference of a fashionably dressed
woman here, is about seven feet and half, and
when two of these animals got waltzing togeth-
er, they look like large balloon inverted The
daily occupation of the fair creature begins
with dressing in elaborate morning attire, and
promenading to the Congress Spring, where she
takes two or three glasses of the water Re-
turning, she has sylph-like breakfast-then
dresses for drive After the drive she takes
an anti-prandial snooze, or receives snob or
two. Then comes the work Of dressing for din
ner, for which she appears like Wilkins in the
song in 'galliant array" with all sorts of dia-
mOnds and things. Dinner is at three, and fills
up two hours. Next comes riding and in the
evening the fair flowers of creation dance to the
music of Monks Band or vagabondse barehead-
ed about the streets of the village. Such is the
daily life of the Saratoga belle She gets up a
good many firtations, and she likes it. Look
at that splendid creature in pink-she has al
ready exhausted three waltzing men and is now
flirting with a thin youth in the corner. He is
telling her that he is off for Newport tomorrow
and wants bit of her hair before he leaves
She tries to look sorry but is really thinking
whether he could give her brown stone front
in good street and ten thousand year.
The daily life of the snob at the springs is
about the same as that of the belle, if he is la
dies snob. He is her cavalier serviente, and
revolves around her hoops. He is treated as
she treats her lap dog, and is thrown a smile
with the same air that Fidele receives chicken
bone. But it is the style among some snobs to
call "tlese women a bore, you know" These
last named snobs play billiards, smoke awful Sc
gars, drive horses which are bought, and the
buyers sold at the same time, and otherwise
spend their time in those healthy and invigora-
ting sports which make the American snob so
valuable member of society. The ladies' snob
is preferable to the horse and billiard snob.
