TIE firginius Question.

The terms of the settlement between
| Mr.. Gushing and the new government OF
| Spain were received through the mail by
| Dir. Fish last week and were read in Cabl
net meeting on Friday. A long and very
interesting dispatch has also been received
from Mr.. Gushing giving narrative of the
| events attending the establishment of the
Alfonso government. The settlement is
complete, excepting the signature OF Mr.
Fish, and the arran cement is entirely salts
factory. Ii has not been made official be-
cause our government has not yet recog-
DlZed the government OF Alfonso. nor have
the credentials Of Senior Mantiila. as the
representative OF Spain, been received bv
the United States.
Mr.. Cushings credentials have been some
days under way, and he has probably re-
ceived them by this time, or Will very soon.
ii any time mas been fixed for their pre-
sentatlon and the recognition of the new
government, that time is not vet an
nounced. But at some time, not very far
distant, tho recognition of the government
of Alfonso and the full and satisfactory
settlement OF the claims of our government
on account OF the seizure Of the Virgiuius
will take place together.
Spain has protested tor many months a
Willingness TO pay the indemnity for the
Americans of the crew of the Nirginius
who were put to DEATH but has persisted in
presenting and urging counter claim for
the Virginius itself which Spain regards as
her lawful prize. As the terms now await
ing ratification are said to be satisfactory,
it may he inferred that they include tbs
surrender of this on the part of Spain, and
the payment of $500 to the family of each
of the Americans of the crew. The tact
that Spanish affairs were alluded to in the
Cabinet Friday has given rise to renewed
rumors of complications. and Cuban sym
pathizers and Cuban bondholders are again
busy in attempts to procure the publication
of sensational dispatches. With the settle
ment of the difficulties between the two
governments, which is apparently so near
attainment, these mischief makers must
look to new fields for the exercise of their
avocation:- Washington Correspondence,

notwithstanding the herculean esforts of
the refOrmers to restrict and decrease the
use of tobacco, official statistics 90 to show
that the consumption Of the weed" in this
country makes steady increase. Aside
from the amount consumed in other forms.
1t appears, by actual computation, that the
average number of cigars smoked in the
United States each twenty-four hours
reaches the colossal aggregate of 5, los, 900.
The smoker not only pays for his enjoy

Ex-senator Nye.

Nye was fascinating fellow-nay is now
doubtless, fer a man like him lasts funny
for long tine-only we have a way in
Washington of bounding a mans natural
ty his political life. He could suit himself
to any audience. He could tell stories
whose profanity and indecency would make
even a bar-rOom audience recoil from a
man whose tongue was trained to such
toulness. He could address a Sunday school
and recite verse after verse of the Bible
with solemnity and pathos, and teach
those little innocent children the lessons
his mother taught him till there were tears,
not alone in the eyes upturned to him. but
in his own. genuine tears too; his venera.
ton of that mothers memory was ever
abiding, and it was just such glimpses of a
better nature shining through the worldly
wisdom and shams and easy going morality
of his life, that endeared him to his friends.

Australian Plant
If you can imagine, says the South
Australian kegister, pine apple, eight
feet high and thick in proportion, resting
upon its base and denuded of leaves you
will have good idea Of the trunk of the
tree which, however, was not the color of
an ananas, but was dark, dingy brown,
and apparently IS hard as iron. From
the apex of this truncated cone lat least
two feet in diameter) eight huge leaves
sheer to the ground, like doors swinging
back on their hinges. These leaves which
are joined at the top Of the trees At regu.
lar intervals, were about eleven or twelve
feet long and shaped very much like the
leaves of an American agave or century
plant. They are two feet through at
their thickest part and three feet wide,
tapermg to sharp psint that looked
very much like . cows horn, very con-
vex on the oater (but not under) surface
and on the under mo upper) surface
slightly concave. This concave surface
was thi:kly set with strong henry hooks
like those on the head Of teazle. These
leaves hanging thus limp and lifeless,
dead green in color, had in appearance
the massive strength Of oak fiber. The
apex Of the cone was . round concave
figure like . smaller plate set within .
larger one. This was not flower but
receptacle, and there exudes
. clear. treacly, liquid honey, sweet and
possessed Of violent intoxicating soporific
properties. From underneath the rim $50
to speak Of the undermost plate, series
Of long, hairy, green tendrils stretched
ont in every direction towards the hori-
ION. These were seven or eight feet
long and tapered from four inches to
half m inch in diameter, vet they
stretched ont Is stifiy Is iron rods.
Above these from between the upper and
under cups) six white almost transparent
paIpi reared themselves towards the sky,
twirling and twisting with marvellous in
cessant motion, yet constantly reaching
upward. Thin as reeds and frail a ouills,
apparently, they were yet five or six feet
tall, and were 50 constantly and vigorous

New York Sun, July 7th.
On Saturday evening number of young
gentlemen of sporting proclivities were
gathered in the West End Hotel, Long
Branch. Very naturally the converse
ton turned upon physical development,
and more naturally still, the impulsive
youths began to bare their arms to show
the siz, Of their muscle. OF all the arms
shown, those Of Mr.. Sartoris, President
Grants son-in.law, and Mr.. Goicouri,
young stock broker, were the most
muscular. Each Of these gentlemen
exhibited knotted cords which would
have done honor to prize fighter. and
each showed as much pride 8 muscle,
talking with that liberality which Piper,
Hcidsick and Mumm's Extra Dry always
inspire.
The upshot Of tho big talk was IN
named to test their strength and skill n
glove fight. Mr.. Golcouria wished 70
fight without delay, but, as the hour was
late, it was at length decided to defer Il
until Monday, and to select stable be-
longing to the Hon. Thomas Murphy .
the place Of meeting. This stable stands
back of Ocean avenue, and not far from
the cottage presented to President Grant
by the Hon. Thos. Murphy, George
Washington Childs, A. M, and others. It
is spacious building, and the main floor
afforded abundant space for the encoun-'
ter.
At ten o'clock on Monday morning The
friends Of the contestants drove from the
West End Hotel to Mr.. Murphy's stable,
six coaches being well filled with SPORT
loving young men. It is said, also, that
President Grant, Mr.. Thomas Murphy,
George Washington Childs, A. H., and
other cottagers in the aristocratic neiGhps
borhood, walked over to the scene and
manifested great interest in the sport;
but as to this point all who were present
are peculiarly reticent. Indeed, like the
Beecher jury, they were sworn to secrecy,
although enough has leaked ont 70 jus

noon in the squalid tenement house, No.
$50 Third street. Frederick Alderman,
living at the above place, committed sui.
eide by shooting himself with . musket.
About 2 O'Clock the people of the neigh
borhood were startled by the report of .
gun coming from small room in the
rear house, and on going to ascertain the
cause, found Ackerman's body reclining
against the door leading to an adjoining
room. The head was entirely gone. and
brains, pieces Of bone, and flesh lay scat.
tered all over the apartment. The un.
fortunate man had taken an old army
musket, loaded it with q quadruple
charge of powder and two leaden bullets.
placed the muzzle in his mouth, and with
his toes pulled the trigger. He was sit
ting at the time on a pillow and was
leaning against the door above alluded
to. Nothing whatever was left
Of his head save portion
of the lower jaw. Part of the skull was
driven entirely through the door, the nose
and the upper lip were found on the bed
at a distance of six or eight feet from the
body, and handful of brains lay on the
floor beside the body in as perfect state
as though they had been taken out by
the most skillful surgeon. Portions Of
the skull and scalp were found in every
part Of the room, and an ear hung sus.
pended from nail in the wall over the
bed. The charge with which the gun
had been loaded was SO great that the
stock was broken off and the hammer re-
cooked by the explosion. The right hand
was also terribly lacerated by the action
Of the musket in recoiling. Alderman
has been hard drinker for the last three
years, and has several times had the de.
lirium tremens. 1t is supposed that he
committed self destruction while laboring
under one Of these attacks. He leaves q
wife and four children, the eldest II and
the youngest three years of age.
