Tli9 Triuunk's Washington special snys:
President Grant is keeping a vigilant watch
'over the oflairs of the Island of Cuba. Not
withstanding the conBdutice expressed by the
Spanish authorities of their ability to speed
ily Buppress the rebellion, the Government is
constantly in receipt of intelligence which
shows that the insurgents have not brought
into action all their available strength, and
it is expected that the next two or three
months will indicate) something definite re
specting the struggle on either side. In the
meantime it is cot the intention of the Gov
ernment to iuterl'ear so long as every demand
made upon the Spanish authorities, where
our interests are iuterfeared with, is prompt
ly acceoded to. Although tho Government
officials have indicated u willingness to sell
war materials of ull kinds to parties who de
sire to purchase, no Bales havo yet been
made. The Presideut has stiUod in
substance that ho believes the Spaniards have
exhausted their resources in Cubu, while they
have much latent strength, which will show
itself hereafter in on effective manner.
Our new Consul General at Havana, Mr.
Plumb, left here for New York this morn
ing, and will sail fur his post on Thursday.
lie has received very full and explicit instruc
tions, in view of tho importaut and delicate
nature of our relations with the Spanish au
thorities, lie is required to do ull that .may
lio in hia power to protect tho rights of
American citizens while they respect the
laws, and at the same time is cautioned to do
nothing that may precipitate a quarrel with
the colonial officials.

"Brick" Pomoroy having been slighted by
card signed by Gov. Hoffman, of New York
and tho State officers, recommending the
"World news paper as an organ worthy of
the putromvge and support of tho Democracy,
has ouunounced that he will have satisfaction
aud justice, or a fight. Tho hero of La
Crossr bus made himself a power in tli
Democratic party, and ho can't btand insult.
That "Brick'' is a sincere and thorough-going
Democrat, nooue eouversantwith his writkigs
cau doubt. Ho thinks he has rendered such
services to his party, as demand respect,
if not recognition, and he meau3 to-exact
ix3 what he thinks his duo. Ho writes as fol
lows: "If buying and selling, if fraud and cor
ruption, if double-dealing and trickery, dis
honesty, aud uothiug but a love for gain is
to mark tho couro of the lending Democarts
of New York, I just ask God to spare uiy
life for thu next two years. I shall not go
into the buying nnd selling busiueas?, but if
the Democratic office holders, elected by tho
people, who stand by mo us they do, ignore
the one who stood by them und insulted the
peoplo by urging them to support an organ
in the pay aud interest of tlio peoples' ene
mies, theu may I rot iti the i-urtti, be damned
in tho hereafter, if I don't warm it to tho
ones who thus by their own signatures, by
autograph letters, iudorse corruption.

Wlieti General Lee called to see tho Presi
dent, tho only person with tho President
when General Leo was announced, was Mr.
Motley, who proposed to retire nnd return
at, some other time, but tho President re
qnested him to stny. Gcnerol Lee then en
tered accompanied by Lis friends, Mr. and
Mrs. Tnggert of Baltimore, who, after being
presented, took a seat at one side, and con
versation ensued between tho President, 'Mr.
Motley and General Lee. They talked about
the weather, crops iu Virginia, a railroad
which General Len is Interested in, and pos
sibly one or two other personal mutters.
At tho end of fifteen or twenty minutes Gen.
Lee and his friends withdrew. Not o word
was said about reconstruction, and the call
was entirely one of courteRy. The state
ments that Senators and Members of thp
Hotiso were turned out of the room to admit
General Lee, aro pure fabrications.
The ITaity Family. The Dayton Ledokr,
Vallnndigham's organ, denies that Chief
Justice Chase failed to re .eivu the nomina
tion at the Democratic Convention at .New
York though the oppositionof the "Marryr."
It says that Seymour declined the nomina
tion in ood faith, and was sincerely for
Chase, nnd had he possessed the presence of
mind r.nd boldness to conclude his epeech
with suggesting the Chief Justice, Vallnn-
digham would have acquiesced, Chase have
been nominated and President to-day. The
Lkdokr adds:
"After the multiplied treacheries and
stupidities of the Democratic managers from
October, lHui, to July, 18(8, there was but
one thing which could and would have com
manded success the nomination of Solomon
P. Chase, who, unlike Andrew Johnson, had
brains enough to comprehend that if ho was
to overpower tho strong minded, strong
willed audacity of the Hepublican leaders, it
was alone by antagonizing to it the strong
minded. Btrong willed audacity oi tho 'Cop
perheads1 of the Democratic party. He wus
not nominated; wherefore and by reason of
the premises. Grant aud his relatives now
hold place, if not power, whilo Seymour
emps his hay, milks his cows and churns his

Axothkr Si.ACunTF.R. We have to chron
icle auother of those harrowiug disasters
which for a time chill the blood and then are
forgotten. Saturday a steamer on the Miss
ouri river struck a snag, nearSiouX City aud
while sinking, exploded her boilers. Her
freight of human beings, mostly soldiers who
hod served their time and were on their way
homo, was scattered abroad on the waters.
Fifty persons are missiug. On Friday the
railway offered up its sacrifice; Saturday the
water adds another. Broken rails, unskill
ful pilots and defective boilers have been
drenched in blood. To call for investigation
and punishment of the gulty is, wo are sorry
to feel, useless. Those lessons will soon bo
forgotten. Tbey will bo spoken of in con
nection with Angola und Curr's Rock, nnd
the public will wait for the next horror.
Is the death of Mr. C. B. Seymour, musi

which he had employed his facilo pen, he had
reBected credit upon himself and his profes

Virtt in fcw own miri,
Mr Greeley and h't Partner.
The following instance of Yankee plnck
and determination, illustrates well, the
mystery of A ti(ilo Faxon success, in com
petition with all other races. The mis
fortune to the famous fcew York paper
(then tn its infancy) which is here told,
happened during one of the most terrible
snow storms ever Inown in America,
llcnd, and learn to never give vp.
In Februrary, 1845, the office of the
Tribune was burhed down. The paper
had " gone to press " at hu!f.pi,.st two in
the morning, and the whole edition had
been delivered to the carriers, when, at
lour o'cl.iek, firo broke out in the lower
pare of the b'lildini;, and two hours later
there was only a heap of ruins.
At eight o'clock, looking on from the
brink of the Gory cli'ism, whence smoke und
steaai still avceuded, 1 saw Greeley, trudg
iug thiough two or three lect of snow,
closely followed by his partner, Thomas
McElrath the later a shrewd busiuess
tnuu, to whom Greeley has repeatedly at
tributed the pecuniary success of the
I riOtine.
.'1 he two advanced to the edge of the
gap which held all that was left of the
tribune establishment, and 1, standing by
tho side of Greeley, put to him the ques.
tion :
" Well, Jlr. Greeley, what aro you going
to do ? Will tho Tribune bo published

Greeley replied with that curious corru
gation of the brotv which always indicates
any perturbation in his mind, and in tho
old lulsetto tone with which he gives ear
picrciug expression to any thing thut may
uillict him : " I do o u't kuow 1 "
Just at that moment Me. Hi I ruth catno up.
Gteeley turned to him with a woe begone

It was done. Though the partners did
not kuow but that they wero ruiued :
though their safe was still roasting in the
ruins with all their books in it, nod though
their capital was exhausted, the indemitn-
oio energy ot Aicjjjiratn caused the paper
to appear at the reir'ilar time the next
morning, and the evcut proved to bo the
best kind ol un. advertisement, for it brought
the Tiibuitc literally a thousand coniplt
ments, nnd gave its managers a lusting
reputation tor cuergy and enterprise.
V incbester s old building No. 30 Ann
staeet was hired ; a publication office was-
fitted up lor the reception of advertise
ments : on tna top floor, printers cases
were speedily filled with eight or nine
diliorent kinds of type, picked up any where
and evcry where ; Greeley was stowed
away iu the turner of an uti furnished loft
directly over the printers, and his desk was
a tmiGoth board supported by two barrels ;
all the other impoverished improvements
being of similar simplicity. Hero all
bunds were soon busily ut work for the
whole paper was to be reset. Tho business
wan doue, the paper was. served to its- sub
seribers ut breakfast tinie,yid a few mouths
later, the building now occupied by the
Tribune was fiuished.
Deaths by Lioutninu. Few people
are nwaro how many are the deaths from
lightning. It uppears, fnun statistics kept
iu Francs, that during the last thirty years
tunrS than 10,000 people wero struck by
lightning, of whom 'Zlbi were killed out
right. 880 were killed durim: the last ten
years, and ol these only 24'd were leiiiisles.
It lightning falls on a crowd, it does more
mischief among the men than among tho
females, tie latter pcrsous being the most
exposed.

CitcELTT to Animals. Nothing no
much marks the true progress of civili
zation as the increasing ntteKion given
to the question of humanity to dumb
beasts. In our own State much has been
done towards relieving them from the
cruelties nnd unnecessary suffering im
posed on them by unfeeling wretches, or
the barbaric ignorance ot a past age.
In other States, similar signs ot pro
gress exist. 1 he Massachusetts Society
for the Prevent ion of Cruelty to Animals
are looking after the biichers. They give
notice in the last issue of their publica
tion, Our Dumb Animals.' that alter
the 30th of March they intend to enforce
the taw against the starvation nnd bleed

certain bnchers. "the calves are starved
from Sni'day night till tho next Sunday
night, besides being bled every twenty
four hours, to slop the bleating and to
whiten tho veal."

Ayer's
Hair Vigor,
Fop restoring Cray Hair to
its natural Vilalily and Color.
A dressing which
is at once agreeable,
healthy, and effectual
for preserving the
hair. Faded or gray
hair is soon restored
to its original color
with the gloss and
freshness of youth.
Thin liair is thick
ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or tho glands, atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved fcr
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
mnke somo preparations dangerous and
injurious to tho hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can bo found so desirable.
Containiug neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasta
loug ou the hair, giving it a rich glossy
lustre and a grateful perfume.
