Sumner on the 'Alabama Claims. There is great anxiety in all circles to see the speech, which Mr. Sumner has prepared to deliver in executive session against the Alabama treaty. This speech is about finished, and the Senator's friends say he considers it the greatest ef fort of his life. Some of the strongest points of it having been made public, tench to Mr. Sumner's annoyance, he in sists that it Is a Most pacific , speech, while at the same time it takes '‘high ground." The "high grOund" consists in plainly saying to England that she is indebted to the United States for ships destroyed, for years of commerce swept away, for heavy bills incurred in maintaining an immense blockade, for troublei and dam ages along the Canadian frontier, and more than all, and worse than all,the pro. longation of the war and the consequent expenses in , life and treasure. The pa . - cific part, so far as can be learned, con sists in saying to Great Britain: These things are plain, they need no proof, and the way to settle it all is to settle down in a friendly spirit and agree upon friendly terms based on the above admissions. There is no concealing the fact that several questions are, creating anxiety at the English Legation now. The most prominent of these is the settlement of the Alabama claims, and in this connection both the position of Mr. Sumner, and the known agreement between the points as above given from his speech and the views of President Grant, have entirely dis pelled any idea of settlement upon any such basis as p posed by Reverdy John- To comPliai e thic , the increasing inter est both here a din Canada, in the ques tion of ande on, looms up ini a ques tion SWIM to assume a definite character and purpose, and to rally a strong party in the Provinces. • There seems to be a general - belief, among the representatives "of foreign powers, that the present administration will be trucked by, a very poidtive foreign policy, And that before it is ended there will be important changes in the rela tions of our .Northern and Southern neigh bors to the United States...T.

IMitaies t:ured by IDlet. • Chronic diseases in many cases can cured by diet. Dr. Bellows gives in stances which are pf exceeding interest. A. gentleman of sixty-four, who wore a truss twenty-five years for inguitild her nia, was advised to discontinue extra,Far bonaceous food, and has recovered in two years' time set as to dispense with the use of the truss. y - Bv . taking _less carbon aceous or heating and relaxing food, and eating more nitrogenous or muscle and ltrengtb.giving food, tone was restored, andlhe tendons were drawn taut and the bowels retained. A Boston physician, whose father and brother died of heart disease a few years since, became so af fected also that he was unable to attend to his practice, and went from city to city consulting physicians, but found no re lief.. Dr. Bellows ascertained that he was an excessive cheese eater, as were his father and brothers. On reducing the daily quantity of cheese about one-half, he began to recover and is now well. This was, of course, not' a case of organic disease. Dr. Bellows' diagnosis was this: Cheese being principa lly nitroge. nous, the excessive quantity eaten daily produced excessive tone and tension of this muscular system, and thelleart being a muscular organ the excess of tone arid tension was most clearly manifested upon it. . A gentleman of scrofulous tendency, who had an open abcess for eight or ten years. abstained from extra carbon and partook of food rich in nitrozen and phos phorous, and the abcess began to heal im mediately and in a few weeks ceased to discharge. A gentleman of gouty en largement of the great toe joints, which required boots of extra width to enable him to walk, adopted natural food exclu sively, and in a few months could wear boots of a natural size. Meath - of a Virginia Millionaire. The richest man in Virginia, Mr. Sam uel Miller, died at his home in Campbell county, Virginia, in the neighborhood of Lynchburg, on Saturday. Mr.l Miller was the architect of his own fortune, and was a man of such large comprehension of commercial affairs that, had h lived in London or New York, he would doubt less have been one of the money kings of the world. Living in perfect seclusion on his farm, he yet operated in all the great centres of trade, and had not the wait greatly impaired his estate, would have left behind him a property second only to that of the greatest of our million aires. As it is, his wealth is estimated at three millions of dollars. It is not known how this has been disposed of in his will, but $193,000 in securities was left as an endowment for a Female Orphan Asylum in Lynchburg, and $lOO,OOO as alund for a Chair of Agriculture at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville. Hydrvphobia—Post Mortem. Ciscrsrmeri, March 27.—A pose mor tem examination of Timothy Creeden, the man who died of hydrophobia on Wed nesday, was held day before yesterday, at which there were several prominent professors and practitioners, of medicine. The larynx was natural, but appeared slightly congested, and contained a little frothy mucous. The tesophagas, stom ach, liver, heart .and intestines were all found in a healthy condition. The .body was well nourished. The brain present. ed the oniy unusual appearance, its , sub stance being softer than usual to persons dying of ordinary diseases, and the white substance of the brain showed an entire absence of blood. These conditions Were regarded as remarkable, but otherwise no new light was thrown on the problem of death from hydrophobia. THE recent despatches from Admiral Hoff furnish additional instances _of cru elty on the part of the Haytien revolu tionists. He says that prisoners taken upon the field of battle wounded, and in some instances fatally, were, in common with others not wounded, shot imme diately after combs; quarter on this side being scarcely thought of. Several other persons were shot without any form of trial, upon the mere denunciation of unknown individuals, the reason as signed being for having talked against the revolution. Upon the arrival of Salnave's forces before, Aux Cayes, and upon the first attack that was made, the numerous persons who round themselves in prison for minor offences and so-called political prisoners were ordered into the prison courtyard, the sick were carried down, the doors were thrown open and a dis charge of musketry was fired into them. This being found insuffi eent to kill fast enough, rounds of grape and canister were directed againstthem to hasten this dreadful butchery. Many women were thus sacrificed. All the peo ple who were shot had to stand up facing the firing party, and forced to look upon them while loading and going through manoeuvres preparatory to their execu tion. In most cases, the first fire only wounded and otherwise shattefed their limbs. There being no reserve party left, to hasten their end, they had to wait about a quarter of an hoar, still standing, before the guns were reloaded. A father and son were shot together without auy other reason than some silly remark made by the latter. After having uselessly pleaded for the life of, his. son, the father requested to share his fate, which was gladly accepted by the rebels, as they were •murdered before our eyes under cir cumstances too horrible to relate. Tan OLD RULING FAMILIES OF ENG LADD.—The New York Sun says: "The stability of the old ruling families of grtg land is strikingly illustrated by a compari son of some of the members of the pres ent House of Commons with,' thew who gat in the Long ParliaMent of - the times of Charles L and Oliver Groin welL That famous Parliament,: was chosen in 1630. The lineal dependants met least fifty of itp members °con& seats 1n the present House.
