One OF the same sort of Olaeuiar q s.
patches that have been coming IRON
Washington for some days past, giving
assurances of a probable peaceful solu-
tion of our difficulties with Spain, now
comes declaring that the prospect OF
peaceful settlement is not SO favorable as
il was a few days ago. This dispatch
intlmates that the report that Spain had
consented to surrender the lirgin'"S'
was based on nothing more positive or
definite than the expression of a willing
ness by the Spanish Cabinet to do every
thing compatible with honor, aud the
friendly assurances of Admiral Polo, the
spanish Minister at Washington.
This was, certainly, very slight
foundation on which to base such conh-
dent statements Us the semi.otficlal dis
patches which have been sent out
recently from Washington, and it looks
as though there was design to deceive
the people so as to allay the popular
excitement We doubt if many thinking
people have been deceived, however, Tor
there have never been any ficiS an-
nounced that would lead such people to
see the prospect Of peace had improved

One Thing Lacking.

A clergyman at the hotel has been
seriously i'll for a few days past. A
kind-hearted nurse, in the person of an
old pioneer of this state, a '49er, has
been patiently waiting on the sick man
and ministering to his physical wants.
The nurse was full of sympathy for his
charge, and determined to leave moth
ing undone that he could do to make
his patient comfortable. Fearing that
the sick man was backward in making
known bis wants, the nurse addressed
him as follows {" Ask of me any favor
that you want, and will be delighted
to do it. Don't be afraid to ask" The
clergyman family responded, Pray
for me-" The '49er stood aghast, and
replied g [ can whip grizzly bear,

entertains high opinion of his nurse,
and is getting better.-Neu0d0 Enter.

Sending Babies to Sleep.

Some of the hill tribes in Northern
India have peculiar wey of sending
their babies to sleep, which is thus de-
scribed by correspondent of a Bonn
bay paper: "Near hollow bamboo,
which served as spout, through which
the cold water of the mountain stream
poured forth Jet, was disposed the
head of an infant, who was lying COW
cred warmly and fast asleep. The
bamboo spout was SO placed that the
water played upon the crown of the
baby's head, over part which seemed
bald OF hair, consequence, perhaps,
of the habitual action of the water.
The rest of the child's body was not
touched by the water The children,
there were two of them) were lying on
their right sides, and perfectly still,
one would fancy in state of stupefac-
ton. They had been lying for an hour
and a half, we were told, and would be
there till 9 o'clock at night, in all be-
tween four and five hours. [ felt the
face of one of them, and found it cold,
and then held the wrist, but could de-
tect no pulse. Yet these hill people
are convinced that this strange prac-
tice, which is quite general, helps to
strengthen the brain, and make the
children not only healthy, but hardy
and fearless.''

1 am convinced that consumption, in
it's earlier stages, can not only be ar
rested, but cured, by residence in
Colorado but consumptives in the
last stagas should by no means be sent
out here. Sometimes they linger a
little longer, but more often the end is
fastened, especially if the patient
comes alone. The air of Manitou, ever
so balmy TO me, was too strong for
poor John c. Heenan, depressing his
magnificent chest and producing hem
orrhages It seemed to all who saw
him that he might live if he could only
keep up heart--but he was utterly cast
down. His sickness, comparatively
sudden, the rapid decline of his splen
did physical powers seemed to him so
mysterious, so unnatural, that he was
subdued and frightened. There was
in his look the mute, pathetic helpless
ness of some strong animal stricken
down. but not 6 consenting unto
death" I am glad to have it to say
that Mr.. Heenan expressed to his
physician great regret and manly
shame for much of his past career, and
humble desire to live, that he might
lead better Ife." Coffin never clos
ed over more superb human figure
than his-was all chance for "better

Gay, gentlemen, a large majority of you come
from beyond that limit, and represent districts
then peopled only by Indians and adventurous
frontlersmen. The Government is not yet as
old as many of its citizens; but in this brief
span of time. less than one heightened life, it
has, under Gods good providence, extended
It's power until continent is the field OF its
empire, and attests the majority OF its law.
With the growth OF new States, and the re-
suit OF changes in the centers of population,
new interests are developed, rival to the old,
but by 20 means hostile diverse, but not an
tagonistic nay, rather are all these Interests
IN harmony and the true science of just gov
eminent is to give to each its full and fair
play. expressing none by undue exactions,
favoring none by undue privilege. 1t is this
great lesson which our daily experience is
teaching us, binding US together more close

we have indeed but lone country, one Con-

The Cuban Question.

NEGOTIATIONS between the United Sta .es
AID Spain as regards the question growing
out of the capture of the Virginius were
brought to a conclust on Nov. 20, Secretary
Fish and Admiral 10 having agreed upon
and signed protoco which the latter soon
after telegraphed tt his Government. It is
positively stated the terms are substantially
as follows:
First-Immediate delivery to the United
States of the ship Virginius and all surviving
passengers and crew.
Second-Salute to our flag on Dec. 25. I'M
less in the meantime Spain shall satisfy the
United States that the American flag was i'm
properly borne on that vessel, and further,
that she had no right to the American flag or
American papers in this event the salute is
formally disclaim any intent and indignity of
the flag in the acts committed by Spain
against the Virginius.
Third-If it be then shown she had no
right to carry the American flag and papers,
the United States Will institute proceedings
against the vessel and tie surviving parties
who have violated the laws of the United
States, and Spain guarantees to institute
proceedings against her authorities who
violated either law or treaty.
Fourth-The matter of reclamations for
damages is reserved for future consideration
In addition to the above, it is s@ated that Sec
rotary Fish and the Spanish minister will de-
termne the port st which the Virginius and
ne surviving passengers and crew are to be
delivered to the United States. The words
g immediate release as applicable to the de-
livery of the Virginius and the surviving pas
sengers and crew, implies, of course, a rea-
sonable time for it's execution, as some days
must elapse before Havana and Santiago de
Cuba can be reached.
The agreement is remarked in official quar-
ters as covering al points Of cur original de-
mand. though in modified form, while it is
considered respectful and honorable to both
countries. The fixing of Dec. 25 as the time
of saluting our flag is to allow necessary op-
portunity to Spain to sho that the Virgiuus
improperly carried the American flag and
American papers. There is a sensible relic
in all quarters that the negotiations are thus
peaceably ended. Both Secretary Fish and
Admiral Palo had for two weeks past been
engaged in producing this result, on which
they receive the congratulations Of their re.
spective friends.
