11 t I I rte. oh* Gay LI WASHINGTON TOPICS AND • GOSSIP. Wor:: Stockton, of l'enn , tylvania, li ar , arrived ::t St. Marks, Florida, from the vamp of t in, Cuban insurgents, with an addrtMs 'Lb(' SU profile Junta, tig s ped by Genr,r:ii cespedas, asking for recog nition, and giving numerous reasons therefor (~ A correspondent, says that there is, quite a ill(' in. diploinatic circles over the fact that Mr. Sumner has a very strong speech ready on the Alabama claims, holding dist England is responsible for the prolongation of the war. It is ru mored that the English Minister has as : certained-the drift of the speech, and de clared that it lookslike war. Joshua Hill, Senator elect from Geor gia, denies having sent any dispatch to the Georgia Legislature urging them to the Constment. ' He says I haveitutional my opinion Amen as d to the proper course to be persued by Congress to secure the best interest of both the - Cirivernment and people. But while the present circumstances exist I cannot ex pect to influence others, and therefore do not urge it: Gen. McGlroaty has arrived, and pro poses to make a vigorous fight to retain the Collectorship of the Second Cincin nati Distrfct. Secretary Fish has taken he oath of office, and was closeted for t some time With General Grant yesterday afternoon • until full consultation between them had been had. No new nominations for foreign ap pointments will be sent to the Senate. • The presence of Horace Greeley has given rise to a rumor that he comes at the solicitation of New York politicians, who are anxious for his appointment to the 'English Mission. It seems certain ..'that either Mr. Greeley or Mr. Motley will receive' the nomination," With the chances decidedly in favor of the latter. A partial canvass of the Senatd shows the feeling to be very strong to agreeing to the House resolution to adjourn next Friday week, and the prospect is that it will be agreed to. The President has appointed_ George Bergner Postmaster at Harrisburg, Pa. . Most of the .Honse committees met yesterday and blocked out their work for the:: session. The Reconstruction Committee had a bill introduced last session in relation to Mississippi, but arrived at no conclusion. They meet again on Thursday, and expect then to get at the Georgia question. The Ways and Means Committee met and decided to ask action on Mr. Hoop er's bill to prevent the increase of the • public debt and secret sales ot gold, which was reported• on Monday. A meeting is set for to consider whether they will report _at this session a bill about tobacco and spirits. The Election Committee met and post poned the Covode-Foster contested elec• tion case till next session, to give time to take testimony. The friends of Second Assistant Post master General. McLellan are making • strenuous effortsto prevent his removal by Postmaster General Cresswell. It is noticeable that many Senators and mem bers,who have been unceasing in their plmands that there should be a thorough cleaning out of the present Postoffice offi dals, now protest against ftfcLellan's re moval. It is -not likely that sufficient influence will be brought to bear to thwart Mr Cresswell's determination to 'commence his administration of the De partment by removing those who acted - as assistants and counsellors to the last Postmaster General, during whose term the expenses exceeded the receipts of the Department by many millions of dol lars. Mr. Cresswell has 'said that unless he was permitted to thoroughly cleanse the Department he would resign. Mr. McLelW), *hose removal he has deter mined upon, has alivays been a Republi can, but, neverthelnis, has been regarded •for some time as not the proper person for such a responsible position as that of head of the Contract Bureau, which he •has had charge of. The postoffice ring, which is a . powerful orgaion are ;brown into confusion by Cresawell's de , tided stand, and are resisting, with all their power and influencefthe removals , which Creswell has., Ided to make. Secretary Boutwell, on Saturday, is sued orders to suspend all further print ing of fractional currency notes. Upon examination it appeared that there was sufficient currency ttinieet all demands upon the Treasury for the next forty days. Secretary Boutwell, therefore, came to the conclusion to stop the print fug of any more notes until a thorough examination of affairs in the Currency „Bureau- could be had, and whether the interests of the country demands issuing any further sums of fractuinal currency.

Mrs. Swisshelm , s Lecture. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Banner of the Covenanly thus writes of Mrs. Jane G. Swissheln's late lecture in Allegheny city; on Thursday evening last, in Pittsburgh. Mrs. Swisshelm de livered a very interesting lecture on "the Divine Law and its Relations Ito Human Suffrage." I believe it is conceded by all who lis t tend to the distinguished lecturer on this occasion, that her argument was the ablest that has been given to the public in this region in favor of the Amendment Of the Constitution of the United States, so as to acknowledge the Being and Gov ernment of Almighty God, since old Dr. John Black ceased from his , labors in Pittsburgh. It may not be generally known that Mrs, S. was a member of the First Reformed Presbyterian .church, Pittsburgh, up to the time of Dr: Black's death.. She has not, however, wor. shipped with tnat congregation from the time that his successor the present pas tor, entered upon his work as the Shepherd of that Hock; though she still claims to be' a Reformed Presbyterian, and insists;that she tan never be any. thing else. With the same sort of convincing logic that her reverend pastor used, she argued for theentire freedom of all the slaves in the laud, until their freedom was pro claimed "by the lamented, martyred Lincoln. And now she earnestly adVocates, both with her voice and pen "Suffrage," and not only for all freedmen, but claims the right as well for all of either sex, without respect to creed or color, on the ground of the Divine Law that' all the ruled shoidd have the privilege of choosing their rulers— all who are responsible to the laws of the bind should have a voice in their making. • With regard to the :matter of female suffrage, she believes if, as is so often said, it be very unwomanly to vote, it is quite as unladylike to pay tares. • Such was the interest excited by this lecture, which was delivered to a large and appreciative audience, that Mrs. Swisshelm has been formally solicited by a number of those who heard it, and by others who did not, to repeat it in Pitts. burgh, within a fortnight. Whether she will consent to do so, we do not know. Real Estate Transfers. The following deeds were filed of rec ord before 11. Snively, Esq., Recorder, March 13,1889: • W. A. Hambertson to Samuel N.

Among the authenticated records of the renowned Cap tain Coo Vii voyage, around the world, is found the statement, that while sojourning fora short time on the Brazilian Coast of South America, he observed the natives using, in the Preparation of their food, 'a peculiar oil, which, upon examina tion. he found to possess the appearance,' taste and favor of Buttsr: upon further inquiry, how ever, be ascertained that it. was limply a sub stunce that the natives distilled' in a crude and imperfect manner, from a rich and luxurian t plant•that grew spontaneously sind.abundantl a I n that warm tropical country. A few 3esro - an eminent French- chemist, while on a pr fee- Mortal visit to the tropics; made numerous exper -Imm:its-wits' this remarkable production of na ture, and succeeded In extracting a concentrated essence of the plant. The formula for Its preps ration, and the 'Sole Bight' for Its sale in this country are the exclusive property of this Com pany, by whom It was purchased from the origi nal discoverer.
