GRANT ON THE ALABAMA CLAIMS
The Iribune's Washington correspon-
dent says that General Grant is strongly
opposed to the pending Alabama
claims treaty. The following is his
position in nearly his own words -
The treaty is unjust to theUnited States
because it assumes to measure the in
jury inflicted on this country by the
money value of the ships actually des-
troyed, whereas the chief damage to our
commerce was in our ships being driven
from the seas by Anglo-rebel privateers.
In addition to this, the sympathy extern
ded by the English Government to the
South, which prolonged the war at least
year, and for all the lives lost and
money expended for that time, Eng
land IL directly responsible ; the treaty
proposes to settle all these things by the
payment of the paltry value of a few
ships.

Petition from Mrs.. LiMcOIM.

On Monday the following petition Of
Mrs. Lincoln was laid before the Sem
ate. AS Mr.. Lincoln's estate yiel led
over $50, 900 and quite large amount
has been donated by the people of diff
ferent sections of the country, it is de-
cidedly cool, to say the least, on the
part of Mrs. Lincoln, to ask for yearly
pension ut this time. But then, it is to
be remembered that she is very far from
being strong minded woman:

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SUICIDE.
An extraordinary case of suicide oc-
cured at Rouse's Point on Monday, the
particulars Of which are thus related in
the Montreal. NeWs:
A young man who has been for some
time living and working there, has lat
terly fallen into bad ways. Lately he
had become so much addicted to drink
as to be entirely incapacitated for work,
and was seldom altogether free from the
influence of liquor. Whatever intellect
the unfortunate fellow ever had gradu-
ally gave way until at last he became at
times victim to that species of melan-
choly madness which is one of the most
painful forms of insanity. Yesterday
morning, iu fit of delirium, he went
into shed where there We're number
of wagons. kneeled down and deliberate
ly forced his head between the two
spokes of wagon-wheel SO as to press
his wiIdpipe against the lower OF e, and
in this way chOked himself. 1t seems
almost incredible that any one, how
ever much deranged, should be so fully
determined OH self-destruction as to COM
nit suicide in such way. The partic-
ulars, however, are related to us by
person who was among the first to find
the body of the unhappy man in the
position we have just described.

anthracite CO0t

A Philadelphia paper, the A""utc""

thracite coal against the scientific at
tacks of certain physicians of Boston,
whose experiments tend to prove that
the atmosphere is deteriorated 10y The
coml ustion of the fuel. As an offset to
these conclusions, it IL claimed that all
the statistics bearing upon the subject
show that the influence of the change
from wood to coal has been favorable i'll
effects upon the general health of the
city. and that ~ iule, the people are
better in health and longer lived than
In the old era of wood fires. 1t Is add
ed:
Aud ii is thu apparent that our own
community, as well as nearly every o. H.
or in this country, has improved in
health, Notwithstanding the general
use of anthracite coal, what shall We
say of the superior comfort and conHe-
nience of this great change: Formerly
we were stinted in our supply OF fuel,
because n cord of oak wood. would often
cost eight or ten dollars, and we shiver-
ed in our half-warmed apartments
whilst ruefully anticipating tie conse-
uuent catarrhs ana rehematislns.
Now our houses are mostly warmed
in every part by means of those hot air
fiues SO generally used. Our public
buildings, once so chilly and comfort
less as to repel any audience not moved
by devotion or enthusiasm, are now so
pleasantly tempered in atmosphere as
to invite crowds of people who seldom
assembled in such multitudes in the old
en- time. Superior modes of ventilation
have obviateG i'm most cases any tenden-
cy to serious impurity, and as this cor
receive comes to be universally applied,
doubtless the objections that really have
certain degree of force will he gradu'
ally lessened or removed.

dents from kerosene lamps. which are
now of frequent occurrence, may be
prevented by observing the following
rules Never fill the lamp when light
ed. Trim always by day, putting in
fresh oil every morning, and removing
the charred portion of the wick. Avoid
exposing the lamp to sudden drafts,
which blow the flames into the reser-
voir of oil and explode it. Carry them
about as little as possible, and before
doing so lower the wick. Never burn
