BARCELONA, April 5, 1878.
The telegraphc news from Madrid this morning
represents Mr.. Figueras to have declared to tho
permanent committee OF the Assembly that "the
state of the country better than people suppose"
adding 'the situation Is satisfactory" He denied
the existence OF any crisis and said the govern
ment would continue as 1t is at present Till the
Constituent Cortes could assemble. Somebody
must have been telling Figueras about Mat Win
ton. Mat lived not quite thousand miles from
Chicago. He had strong prediction for whiskey,
and notwithstanding the many difficulties OF
very troubled existence was the most cheerful and
hopeful OF men. His wife was totally blind,
his two daughters down with the small
box, and his son in jail for blowing
the top OF a mans head of. While things were In
this condition kind neighbor found Mat one
morning summing himself at the corner grocery and
demonstrated with him. "Oh," said Mat, with o
knowing wink, II see you don't know the who,s
story. The gals bein' down so bad is most pres
dental: the ncighbors is in an out lendr 9 nand,
and things il Just swimmn. The old womanB
quiet as lamb, and Bub amt thar to poster no
body. Not but what he'll soon be quit of his difi-
Guilty and then the gals will be all right and able to
STAN him. Come inside and have sometnin'.v Mat
found the most refreshing satisfaction in the worst
possible circumstances. SO does Mr.. Figueras.
There Is this difference, howevcr-Mat was sincere,
while Figucras talks to have his good account Of
things telegraphed abroad.
Among the kilograms received yesterday from
the capital was this one :"Agents Of the lnterna-
tlonal continue to arrve.n Mr.. Figueras possibly
thinks it ''providential.n He may also be pleased
with what occurred at the International meeting
