The Claims Of Americans In Cuba.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Thers is absolutely no
truth in the recently published Washington
special stating that General Sickles has notified
the Spanish Government that the question of re-
storing sequestrated estates of American citi-
zens in Cuba, etc., must be settled as alterna-
tive of the employment of force. These very
claims are referred, with all matters in dispute,
for settlement by the convention recently con-
cluded, The idea of force, therefore.is prepos-
ferrous.
The Alabama Claims.
The Secretary of State himself is authority for
the statement that Secretary Fish Is not to be
one of the arbitrators in the case of the Ala
bama claims, special dispatches to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
The Gotten Crop.
Rum0rs having been circulated that the De-
partment of Agriculture has predicted very
short crop of cotton in 1871 it is proper to state
that the estimates of the growing crop have been
made officially, and no reports concerning it
have been issued this season. An estimate of
comparatively acreage and statement of the
condition of the crop will be made in about two
weeks.

STATISTICS OF SUICIDE.
self-Murder In New York.

Some of the details in the cases of the 101
suicides for the year 1871 (nearly two per week.
recorded in the Bureau of Vital Statistics, and
hitherto unpublished, are interesting: - OF
number 81 chose death by hanging, 81 by shoot
ing, and IL by drowning, eat or stabbed them
selves, jumped from dizzy heights, 2s took
poison and / placed hinGelf before locomo-
tive. 1t appears that the Germans daring the
year have been the most prone to take their
ewn lives having furnished fforty-six. or
nearly one-half of the entire number.
Hanging seems to have been the favorite
form of suicide, there being seventeen, plu-
rality over all other methods adopted by them
to shuttle off this mortal COIL" OF the forty
six Germans who chose other methods than
hanging eleven put an end TO existence by
shooting, seven used violent and active drugs
to poison themselves, three leaped from win
dows, three cut their throats, enc stabbed, and
another killed himself with ahatchet, and three
chose death by drowning. Native Americans
and the Irish are next upon the roll of those
"rashly importunate, weary of breath" There
are sixteen cases of each nationality. Six OF
the Americans slumbered into death by
aSTe0' %o tcoE P0''P Paris grse0
two cut their throats and one hanged
himself. OF the Irish six took poison, four
hanged and two shot themselves, two leaped
frem windows, one drowned himself, and one
cut his throat. OF seven English suicides four
took poison, one hanged himself, one leaped
from a roof, and one drowned himself. There
were three French suicides, of which number
one hanged himself; one cut his throat, and one
leaped from roof. The remaining thirteen of
the total number, and scattered through various
nationaiities, ended their lives by all the differ
ent plans above specified, except one, who
threw himself before locomotive. 1t is inte-
resting to note that the Germans preferred the
most violent deaths, even in the choice of
poisons, such as Paris green, strychnine, etc,
the most active and deadly.

Prolonged Vigils.

Ieibnitz sometimes passed three con-
secutive days and nights In the same
chair. resolving problem that interest
ed him; an excellent custom. as FOn-
tenelle observes, to accomplish labor,
but a very unhappy one. The Able de
Ia Caille, a famous astronomer, had q
fork invented in which he adjusted his
head, and in this position passed the
night In astronomical observations,
without knowing any other enemies
than sleep and the clouds, without sus-
pecting that there could be any more
delightful way of employing those ST.
lent hours which revealed to him the
harmony of the universe. Thus he con-
tracted an Inflammation of the lungs
which carried him off in short time.
Girsdet dit-not like to labor during the
dav. Seized in the middle of the night
by fever of inspiration, he arose, lit
the chandelier suspended in his studio,
placed upon his head an enormous hat
covered with candles, and in this
strange costume he painted for hours.
No one ever had feebler constitution,
or more disordcred state of health
than GirSdet.

Results OF Calculation.

There are many persons who cannot,
or will not, appreciate the harmony and
beauty Unnatural laws, the reason being
we suppose that they are incapable OF
following the calculations necessary for
their calculation, and thus by avOilino
all the trouble, the results bring no
pleasure to them. Where c:,n any ything
more beautiful be found. and in what
fact can you find 4 greater dcmonstra-
tiOn of the harmony of the universe,
than the same law which governs the
motion of the planets, also controls a
falling stone? together also, kecps in
contact the PARTICLES of skin on our
hands. The universe and all things In
IL obey a system or code of laws
which cannot be broken. 1t may appear
extraordinary when we state there is
nothing violent or irregular in nature,
The upheaved rocks OF former ayes have
all been upheayed gradually, and in
obedience to a controlling power; even
apparently capricious earthquakes al
ways move and ever will progress in a
definite and given path around the
globe; and the eruption of volcano can
be elucidated to nicety. Storms can
be prognosticated, hurricanes predicted,
and comets appearance prOphesied;
all these wonders are the result of hard
and dry figures, the consequence of
great calculation. Who in future, win
not have great respect for arithmetic?

Singular Retreat of a Fly.

On Sunday, says the st. Louis Re.
publican, a gentleman went with his
wife and children to see the grave of
one of their relatives at Calvary GENE.
terry, and while there large fly forced
its way into the gentleman's ear and
caused intense pain. Some one
brought him an instrument TO draw
out the intruder, but without avail.
His wife came to his aid, and the fly
emerged from its hiding place After
going home he went to sleep, but was
awakened with a sensation Of excruci-
ating pain. He went yesterday to
DIR. DUDLEY, and on examination IL
was found that the insect had depos-
tied its eggs in lis ear, and these de-
veloped into kind Of grub, which
caused the pain he complained of.
The entire brood were removed.

Facts about Life.

1t is singular how much method
has been discovered in the seeming
irregularities of life. Things that
appeared the most casual occur with
wonderful order when the aggregate
is taken into account. Take, for in
stance, the height Of men. What in
fluence has it on lOngevity2 How
can we know whether we are fortu-
nate or unfortunate in this respect ?
Fact show that ones height does affect
the length of ones days, and tall men
live longer than short ones.
Marriage, too, affects longevity.
Favorably? Yes; married men live
longer than single men. Ones pro-
fession has an important relation to
life. Thus: out of one hundred OF
each of the following professions, the
number of those who attain their
seventieth year is among clergymen,
50; farmers, 40; traders and manu-
features, 33 ; soldiers and clerks, 80 ;
lawyers, 80; artists, 2S; professors,
81; physicians, a. Thus, it appears
that those who heal us kill themselves
more rapidly than others.
The average duration of life is 33
years. One-fourth Of the born die
bofore they reach the age Oft years,
and the half before The 18th year.
Out of 100 persons only g reach the
age of GO years, and only L in 1000,
reaches the age of 100 years Out of
500 only one attains 50 years. Out
of 1 1,OO0OOO,O00 living persons, $780,
100000 die annually, $1,000 daily,
$3.50 every hour, and GO every min
ute and still the population of the
earth increases. The known tongues
which men speak amount to 3,06i.
1t seems from these facts that the
two greater events of life are being
born and dying. We appear here
our brief day, and then our name
adds one to the multitude of the
dead. Happy is he who having done
life's work, finds joy in the thought
of the silence and peacefulncss of the
grave. After the turmoil, rest.

THE FAMILY MAN.
FROM THR CAPITAL.

There was a famous tanner once,
Which his name was Grant,
Who had o mum 'rous family
With income that was scant;
For while his skin was always full,
Ills pocketbook was gaunt. ,
But this tanner WAS fightist.
OF wonder ful renown;
In killing Oh his soldiers
He wore q laurel crown; ....
And was our General In command
When rebeldom fell down,
And so o grateful people
Made him their President;
And first he fixed Casey
And then he fixed Dent,
Then for thirty-second cousins
He incontinently went.
Then came the pious Corbin
With speculation rife.
Who on order of his broker
Took unto himself q wife
Invested in the family
And from Boutwell, got tho knife.
Then Brother Orvil, called the awful,
OF Sinful Chic-a-eo.
Was slung outside an office
And in grabbing was not slow;
And SO stupidIy he did 1t
He was killed by Delano.
The last OF all this family
That any one could see,
Was a gospel minister
That minister would &C,
And so, when half seas over,
Over the seas went he.
In fixing up the family
He'd brook no slow delay;
The while his Uncle Samuel
Was filled with wild dismay,
To find his soldier President
So In the family way.
