THE CASE OF THE VRa1N1us. The re-
cent opinion OF the Attorney General on
the status of the Virginius, is very gene
rally discussed and freely criticised in
Washington. In this connection, it may
be mentioned as singular fact, that the
Attorney. y.General's opinion was known
at Madrid before it was made public
here, and was commented on by the
Havana press in advance OF it's pnbIica-
tion in our newspapers. About. year
ago, the Spanish Government COM
planned of the Virginins. and alleged
that she was not entitled to fly the Ame-
rican flag. The matter was referred by
the Secretary of State to the Attorney
General, who then decided that the Yir-
ginlus was pytna Jacie an American YES.
sci. The record of the vessel, 80 far as
this Government is concerned, stood
exactly as it does now. In his recent
decision, the Attorney General goes
back to her registry, in the name of
Patterson, on the 26th of Septem mber,
1870. some two years prior to the da: q
when he certified that she was prima
fdcie an American vessel. OF course, in
the face OF this last opinion, this Go.
vernment can nuke no further demand
on Spain.

Among the ouriosities of emigration are

The report of the chief signal officer
OF the army states that eighty-four and
four-tenth6 Of the deductions pub
lished as ''probabilities" in the news
papers, during the last year, have been
verified. This is ON improvement on
the record OF the preceding year. Of
the total number of oautionary signals
displayed by order of the signal bu-
reau. seventy-fve per cent. have bean
afterwards reported as justified. In
the cases of failure following the dis
plays, the winds did not attain ut the
plaoo of display the degree of violence
anticipated. In no case has any great
storms swept over the ports of the
United States without pre-announce-
meut. 80 that the errors have oil been
on the safe side. Farmers bulletins
are now printed daily and displayed in
frames at over 5000 post Offices, in

The New York Times says that, look

The question more important than all
others is the financial one. II the

appreoiastya audience ,aSsemhlel At
Girardeys Opera House. lsat night. to
hear the lecture OF Admiral Ssmmes
upon 4.The Cruise OF the Alabama" !"
At the hour Of 8 the curtain rose, and
after. formsl iintroduotiop,, the! Ad-
miral began the recitation of the story
Of the famous man. n.of-war. He rapidly
ran over it, telling OF its construction,
by Laird, its escape from English
waters to tho Azores Islands. the work
OF shipping her battery, mastering in
the crew, the ceremony Of christening
the ship, and the beginning Of her
work of destroying the enemy'a pro-
perty. But the lecture, long as it was,
hardly touched upon the thrilling cpl
sodes in the life Of the ship. Much of
the lecture was devoted to defence Of
the charge that the ship was q pirate,
and tho Admiral read extracts from
speeches recently made in the Senate
by Republican Senators, who took the
ground that she was not. The Admi-
raj explained why sailor always calls
ship "she:" First, because she al
ways looks best when freshly painted; (;
second, because she always puts the
best foot foremost, when she has on
new sails; third, because she always
looks we'll when in stays; and fourth.
because she always brings news home
from abroad. He gave an interesting
account OF life on board his vessel, the
duties, the discipline and the amuse-
ments of officers and crew. He evil
dently rested under the impression that
his audience had read his history Of
the cruise, and, therefore, only made
q passing illusion to his fight with and
sinking of q Federal man.of.war off
Galveston, his capture of the rich Cali
fornian, the "Ariel," and twenty
others of the most interesting incl
dents of the two yeors' cruise OF the
ship.-Au9usta Chronicle ana Sentinel.
