Si>: TUB CUBAN QUESTIOH. Desire to Bring th« Strife •"'•to an End and Prevent Farther OemU- tlon in the Islai.d. [Waehington Telegram to New York Herald.] A report has been very qnietly circu­ iting for several days among people not. Unfrequently well informed, that the object of a proposed intervention in aOub«n affairs was to save the cultivated of the island from greater devasta- on and to prevent further demoraliza­ tion of the sugar-producing industry ; that with this object the President had consulted with the British, French, and German Governments, offering to join them in such a meditation as would pro­ duce a cessation of hostilities and leave time for an arrangement to be perfected between the Cubans and Spain. Rumor Added that these negotiations had gone to some length, and that they were not likely to succeed, but that the President Would probably send in a Cuban mes­ sage soon after the reass smbJmg of [ji Congress. It is not possible to trace these rumors to any authentic source. It oan be stated, however, that negotiations with Spain are continually going on, that the Cuban question is still open «nd the subject of an animated discuss­ ion at Madrid, and that unless Spain, Who appears to have acted in her inter- | course with Mr. Cashing with remarka­ ble moderation and self-possession, should now lose her temper and take an offensive iritiativc, there is not any im­ mediate prospect of action on this side. So far as can be ascertained, the Presi­ dent does not intend to send a special > message on Cuban affairs to Congress •very soon after it reasembles. He is not at present engaged upon such a document. At the same time, there is no doubt that Cuba engages a good deal of his atten- tion, and that he has been led to com­ plain of the destruction of valuable plan­ tations in Cuba. Thirty-nine are said to have been laid waste during the pres­ ent year. He has been persuaded that We get less sugar from the island than formerly, and are forced to pay a higher ptrioe for what we get. He is extremely * anxious for some way to put a stop to hostilities. ' ( The impoverished condition of Spain is watched here, and it has become knt>wn that her finances are in such dis­ order that she has lately borrowed some millions in London and Paris at 15 cents on the dollar. A nation reduced to such extremities, it is said, cannot long avert entire prostration and utter helplessness, and it is possible that the President waits for some expected climax in the Spanish affairs, or, possibly, for sucn a removal of the Spanish ruling family to Cuba as would be a parallel to the re­ moval of the Braganzas from Portugal to BraeiL It is believed here tnat, with the exception of the Havana volunteers, who are old Spaniards, the Spanish population of Cuba is ready to welcome .3 il, ~ vu u'luiuou tuij vciiUO) (ILIU WJUftti bUC property-owners of the island, though apparently faithful to Spain, would re­ joice at any event which brought them peaoe and relief from exactions, which are ruinous to them, and security from misgovernment and spoliation in the fu­ ture. Spain, it is said, lives now by robbing Cuba. She would lose the greater part of her revenue if she lost the" island. But she has shown herself incapable of giving it peace and an economical administration, and the ques­ tion is asked, Are we obliged to suffer the ruin her rule works to continue any longer? There in reason to believe that such representations as the above have been very freely made to the Spanish Government quite recently, and that Government has no doubt been forced by its weakness to receive them patient­ ly. Whether Mr. Cushing has any re­ cent orders to "push Spain," is not known ; but for' the present at least, no trouble is expected. How long the expectant policy will continue no one knows. Finally, what is absolutely certain at this moment concerning our relations with Spain is, that the Cuban question is very much alive, but that unless Spain takes the offensive no immediate crisis is apprehended. That the Presi­ dent, however, will appeal to Congress on Cuba in tlie next three months is re­ garded as certain. A Remarkable Meeting. Seventeen years ago William Lester, a poor carpenter, died at Boston. Three of his children were taken West by a v- friend, and the fourth, a little girl, was placed in a Boston asylum. Last Sep­ tember the only survivor of the Western members of the family came East in search of his sister, having himself be­ come very wealthy. He found that the girl had been adopted by John Wheeler, a dry-goods merchant, but he had been dead a dozen years, and there was no trace of the girl's whereabouts since. Being discouraged, he started West again, but on the train, a little way out of Boston, he noticed among a bevy of girls who entered the cars one who re­ markably resembled his mother. He left the train when they did, and soon found that it was indeed his sister, who was living with her poor adopted mother. She had never been told that she was an adopted child, and it was long before she realized her situation. The young lady could not be prevailed upon to ac­ company her brother West, but as she looks upon the luxuries with which she and her adopted mother have been sur­ rounded by her brother, she enjoys the pleasure of a real romance.--Boston t Traveller. * Revaccination. Dr. William B. Davis read a paper before the Cincinnati Medical Society, at a recent meeting, giving observations on revaccination during the present epi- demic in Cincinnati. His observations, he said, were based, on 200 private cases and GOO cases of revaccination in the work-house. His conclusions were as follows: 1. That exposure to infection and in­ tense epidemic influence largely increase tiie susceptibility of the system to the influence of vaccine virus, and accounts for the unusual number of successful re vaccinations during the existence of an epidemic. 2. Sm;ill-pox and varioloid give no more immunity from a recurrence of small-pox than vaccination. 3. The cicatrix (or mark) is not a safe ,criterion of the degree of protection giv­ en by the previous vaccination. Anum- " • • ber of persons were vaeou^ated having pits of small-pox on their persons, and seventy-five per cent, of the cases took. 4. It is advisable to vaccinate upon every exposure to contagion, unless it has been recently done with success. 5. Those who are successfully revacci- nated were, to some extent, susceptible to the small-pox influence, • . : ff - • ' The Champion LUiy ^ 'One "evening last week, "#leii 'He' winter blasts moaned sadly around the street-corners, and the captains of the ferry-boats wore anxious looks, seven or eight vessel owners and " laid up" lake captains sat around a cheerful base- burner in a saloon near the river. After the usual amount of growling about the weather, one of them told a story. There might have been an ounce of truth about it, but the crowd felt certain that the one ounce was offset by twenty- four pounds of the "awfulest kind" of lying. Therefore, a second man told a story to beat it, and then a third man beat the second. When the fourth man started out he said: " Gentlemen, I have also seen tough times. When 1 was sailing the schooner Fortune, forty years ago, two of us were swept overboard in a storm on Lake Erie one black night. A hatch 'cover went with usr and it so happened that we both clutched it. 1$ was not large enough to support two. I was Captain, he a sailor. I had a family--he had none. I shouted to him to quit his hold, and when he would not I reached over, clutched his throat, and held on till his fingers loos­ ened and he went to the bottom of the lake! It was twenty miles off Point Betsey, and with a shrill, wild shriek, which yet lingers in my ears, the poor wretch went to his death! May the Lord forgive me!" With his chair tilted against the wall, a lanky, sunflowerish chap had been nodding his head right and left, as if sleeping. As the Captain's narrative was concluded, the stranger rose hp and solemnly said: , "lam that man!" The crowd looked at him in astonish­ ment, and he continued: " I landed on Point Betsey next morn­ ing in time for breakfast, and I swore a solemn oath that I'd lick you forohoking me, if I had to live a hurdredyears to doit!" " You can't be the man," replied the Captain, looking suspiciously at the fel­ low's big fists; "it was forty years ago." " I know it was, and for forty years I've been aching to lick you out of your boots!" The Captain had lied, but he didn't want to own it, and he said : " The sailor's name was Dick Rioe." "Kerect!" bowed the stranger, " that's my name." " But he was taller than you." "Being in the water so long that night I shrunk just a foot!" was the cool rejoinder. " Well, I know you can't be the man," said the Captain. " I'm the man, and now I'm going to maul you to pulp! No man can choke me and then brag about it." He sailed in and upset the Captain, but was then set upon by the whole crowd. He got into the eye of the vind, end hung there for a time, but presently he paid off a little, got the wind on his quarter, and went at it to lick ten times his weight in old liars. He was a very ambitious man, and those who could get out doors got out, nuu those who couldn't offered him agallon of whisky to come to anchor. He furled his sails on this understanding, and as he set his glass down for the third drink he wiped his bleeding ear and remarked : " When a man tries to sacrifice me in order to save himself he don't know who he's fooling with!" He was the biggest liar of them all, but he made the' most out of it.--M. Quad. The Longest Tramp on Record. Ephraim Lincoln, colored, passed through Moorhead the other day on his way to Manitoba. There is noth­ ing remarkable in this save that he has walked from Louisiana to Vir­ ginia, and from that State to Boston, through Maine to Nova Scotia, from there through Canada to Illinois, Wis­ consin, St. Paul, and Duluth, oveyisaid to Moorhead. His journey has been of one year and nine months' duration, and he contemplates traveling nine months longer, when1 he hopes to bring up in Washington, D. C. He was headed for Manitoba, and will go to the head waters of the Mississippi, the Black Hills, and-- if the Indians do not interrupt his ongevity--east to Washington. Will the Specie-Resumption Act be Repealed ? [Waehington Cor. New York Sun.] The programme of the Banking and Currency Committee will be to ask the repeal of the Specie Resumption act, without debate, and in the interest of legal tenders as against national bank notes. The previous question will be called, debate cut off, and the Democrats have an opportunity of exercising the same privilege as was exercised by the Republicans last January in forcing a vote without debate on the Presumption bill. ONE of the most horrible and revolting massacres ever recorded was that report­ ed by the Bremen Weser Zeitung of Dec. 8. It is stated than an expedition 2,000 strong sent by the . Khedive of Egypt to subjugate the Abyssinians was pmbushed and nearly every man slaugh­ tered. Gen. Arendrop, a Dane, who commanded the force, and many other officers, were literally hacked to pieces, their heads placed on poles and spears and their bodies thrown to the wild beasts. Only one officer escaped. An­ other expedition, 12,000 strong, com­ prising infantry, cavalry, and artillery, is now being organized at Cairo, and will be joined by every officer in the Egyptian service. If the above account be true a heavy penalty will be exacted of the Abyssinians for barbarous mode of warfare. BBWABB OP THE JUO.--A farmer in Seymour, lnd., while examining his corn crib, the other day, came across a small {ug, whose mouth was stopped by the >ody of a rat which had tried to gat in, but had stuck fast. On breaking the jug, he found four other rats inside, all alive. The latter had evidently crawled in, eaten till their s'des were stuffed out, and then found it impossible to crawl out again. SCHEKCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP, SKA WEEP TOXIC AND MANDRAKE PILLS. --These deservedly celebrated and popular medicine* bare effected a revolution in the healing art, and proved the fallacy of sayeral maxima which have for many years obstructed tUe progress of medical science. The false supposition that " Consumption is incurable" deterred physicians from attempting to find remedies for that dis­ ease, and patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to death without making an effort to escape from a doom which they supposed to be unavoidable. It is now proved, however, that Consumption can be cured, and that it has been cured in a very great number of coses i some of them apparently desperate ones) by Sohenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone: and in other cases by the same medicine in con­ nection with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Kills, on* ar both, according to the requirements of the case. Dr. Schenck himsolf, who enjoyed uninterrupted good health tor more ttian forty years, was supposed at one time to be at the very gate of <ieath, his physicians hav­ ing pronounced his case hope)e»=, and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the aforesaid medicines, and since his recovery, many thousands similarly affected have used l>r. Schenck's preparations with the same re­ markable success. Full directions accompany each, making it not abso­ lutely neeessiiry to purtjunully Dr. Soueiu'k, unless patitfnte wish their IUIIKS examined, irnd for this purpose lie is professionally at his principal office, .Corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, ©very Monday, whsre aH A. Dreadftil Delusion. • The Lawrence (Kan.) Dribune says the most horrible transaction of a man bereft of reason occurred at Marion Township, in that county. About a year ago Mrs. Coub, wife of Joseph Coub, died. Since her death the husband's grief has known no bounds. He has frequently shown evidences of insanity, and his mania seems to be in the belief that no person ever dies, and thai his wife, though buried, was not dead. One night lately he procured a screw­ driver by bursting open a neighbor's tool-chest with a hatchet. With the screw-driver he rushed to the grave­ yard where his wife was buried, clawed open the grave, and took the body out of the grave. He then went and asked a neighbor for a cart, £n which, he said, he "wanted to bring Hannah to his house, and show her that she was not dead." Hannah was the name of his wife. The cart was refused, and the neighbor started to the graveyard soon after the crazy man had left him, but soon met the hitter with ihe coffin and the corpse on the cart. He had opened the coffin, put hay in arouuJ the body, and thrown his vest upon tjbe face. He _ said he was going to John Studebaker's j (a half-brother of the deceased wife), J to show the family that " Hannah was | not dead." He resisted, when several men who had gathered took the body from him and reinterred it, he insisting that his wife was not dead. Ho is now in the jail at Lawrence for safe keeping. A Secret Well Kept. It speaks well for the integrity of the British public service that while the ne­ gotiations for the purchase of the Khe­ dive's interest in the Suez Canal were go­ ing on not even a rumor leaked out. The cret must have been known to some of the prominent Government officials and clerks in their offices, as well as to the Cabinet Ministers. Anybody possessed of the knowledge might have realized a handsome fortune by speculating for a rise in Egyptians. It is believed that the only person who speculated on the secret was the Khedive himself, through his agents, the Messrs. Oppenlieim. , Wanted Another to Balance. Says the Detroit Free Press: He was an old bachelor and she a widow of means and good looks. As they sat in the back parlor the other evening he no­ ticed a new picture hanging up, and he adjusted his glasses and Remarked: " A new picture, eh?" " Yes, my husband's monument," she replied, as she laid her hand on his arm. " Don't you think I was liberal ? And if I only had another painting like it to balance this big chromo in the center it would just finish out my group!" He thinks he will marry a maiden when he marries. A Wftai Supplied. [From the Mew York TribnmJ The American mind is active. It Sas given us books of fiction for the sentimentalist, learned booke for the scholar and professional student, but few books for the people. A book for the people must relate to a subject of uni­ versal iiitbirBt. tsUOu a ouujei'L in liie (I'UJBH®! man, and euoh a book 4' THE PEOPLE'S COMMON SENSE MEDICAL ADVISER," a copy of which has been recently laid on our table. The high pro- i feswonal attainments of its author--Dr. 11. V. PIEBCE, of Buffalo, N. Y.--and the advantages derived by bim from an extensive practice, would alone insure for his work a cordial re­ ception. But these are not the merits for which it claims our attention. The Author is a man oj the people. He sympathizes with them in all their afflictions, efforts and attain­ ments. He perceives their want--a knowledge of themselves--and believing that all truth should be made as universal as God'a own Bun- light, from bin fund of learning and experience he has produced a work in which he gives them the benefits of his labors. In it be considers man in every phase of his existence, from the moment he emerges "from a raylees atom, t:>o dimiuutive for the eight, until he gradually evolves to the maturity of those Conscious Powers, the exercisa of which furnishes sub­ jective evidence of our immortality." Pro­ ceeding upon the theory that every fact of mind has a physical antecedent, he has given an ad­ mirable treatise on Cerebral Physiology, and shown the bearings of the facts thus establish­ ed upon individual and social welfare. The Author believes with Spencer, that ,sae vigor­ ous health, and its accompanying high spirits are larger elements of happiness than any other things whatever, the teaching how to maintain them is a teaching that yields to no other what­ ever," and accordingly has introduced an ex tensive discussion of the methods by which we may preserve the integrity of the system and ofttimes prevent the onset of disease. Domes­ tic liaracdica--their preparation, uses and effects--form a prominent feafcur© of the work. The hygienic treatment, or nursing of the sick, is an important subject, and receives attention commensurate with its importance. Nearly all diseases " to which flesh is heir" we described, their symptoms and causes explained, and proper domestic treatment suggested. To re­ ciprocate the many favors bestowed upon him by a generous public, the Author offers his book at a prioe ($1.5'J) little exceeding the cost of publication.
