A correspondent says: "I am in? formed, by a Coban officer, that a plan was organized to seize the steamer Ocean Queen, from New York on the 3d. Gen. W. A. C. Ryan, of Cuban celebrity, sailed in the Ocean Queen, under the as? sumed name of Ashbury, after slipping upon the Ocean Queen 2,000 cases of arms and ammunition. 200 or 300 Cu? ban troops wero expected to go aboard as passengers, and during the voyage seize the steamer, land tho troops and arms at some point in Cuba, and then release the steamer. 200 United States ] troops aboard tho Ocean Queen, for Ca? lifornia, alarmed the Cuban troops, who remained ashore. Ryan is going alone to Aspinwall, where tho stores wero landed. Subsequently the Hornet ar? rived, shipped the stores, and departed for a Cuban port. In the United States District Court, this afternoon, Judgo Bradford gave a decision in the case of the steamer Flo? rida, libelled by the United States for alleged violation of neutrality laws. The Court held that the fact of tho vessel ho? ing laden with war material was not a violation of law, and as thero was no evidence before tho Court Ito show that she had been fitted out to|cruiso against a State with which the United States Government was at peaoe, the vessel was released and the libel discharged.

The Judiciary Committee of the Houso heard fifty women, to-day, npon tho point that the fifteenth amendment conferred female suffrage. It is not true, as some corre? spondents hare stated, that the Presi? dent intends to send a reoonstruotion messago to Congress. It can bo posi? tively asserted that what the President proposes doing is to transmit to Con? gress a largo number of reports from military commanders, complaining of outrages in the South, and in a brief message rccommeud that some means be adopted to secure protection. Now that tho San Domingo joint resolution is adopted, there is good reason to believe that the three Commissioners will be ex Senator Wade, of Ohio, Rev. White, President of Cornell University, and Bishop Simpson, with General Frank Seigel as Secretary. The expedition will snit os soon os these gentlemen are ready.

A FIERY COUCH.-On Sunday morn? ing, a most singular nnd at first thought incredible occurrence wnw brought to light at Atlantic dock, a man being dis? covered asleep and still alive, in u "fiery furnace." The (ucts are as follows: On Saturday night, "Captain J. L. Lonna bery, of the tug J. K. Guile, returned from removing a ship in tho harbor, lay up over night, as is the custom of tugs, at the Atlautin dock. The fires were oarcfulled "banked," und tho fireman went ashore for a few hours. On Sun? day morning, he returned, sud on enter? ing the boiler-room to inspect his fires, he was surprised and horrified at the Hight of a human head just within the ftimaco door. He naturally supposed life to be extinct, for when the fires were hanked the embers wore raked to the back of the furnace, and fresh fuel was added. The fire was larger than cus? tomary and tho heat was intense, but the discoverer seized tho supposed lifeless form by tho head and thc body was drawn quickly ont. It was "red bot" and "fit to roast;" one shoe was charred off and the other was burned to a crisp. Tho feet were baked, aud the skin, where the clothing peeled off, was roasted. Notwithstanding all this, the man was most evidently alive, and send? ing forth a heavy drunken snore. He wsH freed sufficiently from the dirt and ashes to bo recognized as a "dock wol loper." named John McGrath, who had once been a fireman, but who had "lost caste" by his fondness for fire-water. It appeared that ho had freely imbibed ou Christmas day, and after going his bot? tom copper at a soloon, was kiudly cast out by tho gentlemanly proprietor as having outstayed his usefulness. After coming within an nco of "freezing point," he eluded the watchful ey o of tho watchman, and stretched himself for tho obtaining of needed warmth and shelter from winds that blew and cold that bit, in tho placo designed for another ' Bort of fuel ns before shown. Ho loses nothing on the shoos, ns they were not his. He expressed no contrition for his beastly intoxication, but severely "bless? ed" tho saloon keeper for expelling him to tho "gusty flaw" while celebrating Christmas. Captain Lounsbery, in u)l his long experience, says ho never before saw or know of such a case, and no one knowing the condition of things ot the timo would deem it possible for ahuman being to live five minutes, much less to sleep there, except to sleep his last sleep, but such is tho fact, and there's another case for soionco, ns showing what amount of heat the human body can stand.-Brooklyn Eagle, The stories of the correspondents] at tho Prussian headquarters are not re-as? suring to tho apprehensions of the stook exchange. One is that Moltke has ready prepared a complete plan for the inva? sion of England, and the Prussian offi? cers assure their English friends that its execution will not be at all difficult. Around Paris the rioh furniture of hun? dreds of villas has beon burned to warm tho soldiers. "Nothing burns so well as piano wood." At Versailles they are eating nil the cows, und tho destruction of every young animal as soon as born will make famine in the futuro. At ono point wo are told of 50,000 men sleeping in tho opon air on a frosty night, warm? ing themselves from time to time ot huge fires of unthreshed wheat, which added their glow to tho fires of burning villages. A woman in Terre Kauto glues her husband's eye-lids together when ho gets drunk, and when he promises better things sho soaks thom iu warm water and restores his vision. Spain is tho only con n try that baa ever protested against the importation pf fresh Aoatfts. KTnTniTTiiMr^n-inrr-'.^ A D?attfi&W?? WOS?AN.-A xoxaS pa? per relates how-a. woman residing in (ho neighborhood of Denton, ic that State,, persuaded her husband to go homo. Alighting from her hone, she went rapidly to a drinking saloou, whero ft number of sovereigns were having a "high time." She tingled out tho ducat looking man in the crowd, and, walking up to him, seized him by the arm nnd ordered him to put down the glass, which ho was about to druin. He dashed down the glass and rushed away; tho lady followed, and rlnally cornered him iu the billiard-room. Shu told him, in a finn, determined voice, that the plaoo he was in and the course he was Eur sn in g would not answer for her hus and; that ho WUH wasting her property, and that sho would uo Iouger consent to be disgraced and impoverished by him. She demanded his pistol. He refused. She took it from him, cocked it and pre? sented it at him, and told him he must leave or die. Ho concluded to leave. She marched him out as a prisouer of war to where his horse wus hitched, ordered him to mount, aud in a few minutes the two were leaving towu, tho wife ridiug iu the rear of her captured lord, with his six-shooter in her hand. Ono of Philadelphia's meanest men has fouud that tho pecuniary value of the Christmas presents he received is l<*ss than tho value of those he gave, and he hus written a letter totho Press, com? plaining of it. A Minnesota Sunday School boy shocked his teacher, who asked what he had learned daring the week, by tho an? swer that he had "?earned not to trump his partner's ace." KINA.-VUIAI.
