Our Venezuelan Claims.

1t is with regret, however, 1 announce that
the Government of Venezuela has made no
further payments on account OF the awards I'M
der the convention of the 18th OF April, 1866
That Republic is understood TO be almost if not
quite tranquilized. 1t is hoped therefore that
it will lose no time in providing for the unpaid
debt to the United Stats, which, having Origi-
natedin injuries to its citizens by the Venezuelan
authorities and having been acknowledged per-
suant 10 treaty in the most solemn fyTm known
among nations, would seem 70 deserve a prefer
ence over debts Of different origin and contract
ed in different manner. This subject is again
recommended to the attention of Congress for
such action as may be decided proper

The annual average mean strength of the army

total deaths of soldiers tor the year reported were
361 white and 81 coloTed.

OPENING FOR YOUNG MEN.

Col. Rocket in a recent able artl-
Gle in his paper, the Memphis LedJer,
has the fJllowing well-timcd advice
on the above subject
An old friend in the country writes
us to inquire if there is an Opening
in the city for his boys, who are well
educated, but thoroughly disgusted
with farm life2' Certainly there is
an opening in this city. There are,
in fact, many openings. One can
scarcely count them. They are thick,
thriving and thorough. If your boys
are ambitiousto engage in something
useful and Profitable, they can hare
ly find an opening at this time. JuAe
is trying month to business men
always, and the present June Is no
exception. We must say to our old
friend that if his boys must quit farm
life, il they will quit farm lite, if they
are fatally bent on quitting farm life,
if the shady brooks and blooming
glens, and green hills are dis assetul
to them, why then send them to tnis
city. There are openings here ior

Origin of Fires.

The cause of certain fires is ex-
planned by the following hypothesis:
When oxide of iron rust is placed
in contact with timber, excluded from
the atmosphere, and aided by II
slightly increased temperature, the
oxide parts with its oxygen, and IS
converted into very finely divided
particles of metallic iron, having such
an affinity for oxygen that, when af-
terward exposed to the action OF the
atmosphere from any cause, oxygen
is absorbed 50 rapidly that these par
ticlos become suddenly red-hot; and
if insufficient quantity, will produce
temperature far beyond the igni-
table point of dry timber. Wherever
iron pipes are employed for the cir
culation of any heated medium eth
er by hot water, bot air, or steam, !
and wherever these pipes are alloy
cd to become rusty, and arc also IN
clos. coutact with timber, it u onIy
necessary to suppose that, under
these circumstances, the finely dl-
yllod Particles of metallic iron be-
come expose TO tho action OF the
atmosphere and this may occur from
the mere expansion or contraction
OF the pipes in order td account for
many Of tho fires which periodically
take place ut the commencement OF
the Winter season.

An Ocean FlOater.

The ship Blue Jacket was burned
on the 9th of March, 1869, IN about
G3 degrees south latitude AMI GO de
gross west longitude. between the
Falkland Islands and Cape Horn,
on her voyage from New Zealand to
England. The figure head of the
Blue jacket was lately picked up at
the little island of Rottnest, near to
Fremantlo, Western Australia, dis
tance of over 5000 miles from the
point of disaster. The time occupied
in traversing the distance was about
two years and q half, making q
mean rate of six miles and half q
day. This incident throws some
Ii sht on the direction and speed OF
the ocean currents between South
America and The Western coast OF
Australia.
