Washington, December 17.—The news
of the surrender of the Virginins was

afternoon by Admihal Polo, who was ad

survivors at Santiago de Cuba, but no
doubt exists that they were delivered up
to our authorities yesterday. It would
take some time for news to reach Havana
from Santiago de Cuba, and this, it i3
considered, accounts for the fact that in
telligence of their release has not been
communicated to this Government.

Dentil of Professor Agassiz.
A dispatch from Boston announcesjtbe
death of Prof. Agassiz, after on illness of
a few days, from paralysis. Few men in
any age have become so distinguished in
scientific attainments, and fewer still liavo
borne tlieir distinction with such guile
les3 grace. Prof. Agassiz was nearly G7
years of ago. Up to his present illness,
howovor, he has been very robust. Hois
a native of Switzerland, where bo early
distinguished himself as a student of
medicine and tho experimental science.
His work entitled "Studies or Glaciers”
attracted the attention of geologists on
account of the new theory presented on
that subject, and gave him a great Euro
pean reputation. In 1S4G Agassiz came
to this country, and in 1S-17 was appointed
professor of zoology and geology, in the
scientific school at Cambridge, which po
sition he still retains. Ho has in the
meantime visited and collected zoological
specimens in every portion of the Atlan
tic and Gulf coasts, Brazil and the val
ley of iUv A«ui,nti, the valley of the Mis
sissippi. and the great plains at tlio L.ssc
of the Rocky mountains, and has had col
lectors at work gathering for him all land
and marine animals on the Pacific coast.
TTia collections of minerals, plants, and
fossils far exceed in extent any others
over made in America, and in most par
ticulars surpass those of any European
cabinet or museum. Ho has published
numerous works of great value, rich with
the scientific fruits of his travels and in
vestigations. Ho has been latterly_en
gaged under the auspices of the Unite !
States Government in making a complete
investigation of the deep sea bottom of
tbo Gulf stream, and also in founding
tho scientific school at Pennikese Island.
Tho New York Tribune, referring to tbe
career of Prof. Agassiz, says :
"It is the fortune of but few men to
assist so greatly in the progress of the
day. Tho extraordinary impulse which
his individual efforts hire given to the
pursuits of science can scarcely yet be
calculated; they belong to no one de
partment of research, and are just begin
ning to show ther magnitude. As an
opponent of the development theory of
of creation, ho ha3 liad the sympathies of
all who are wedded to the more ancient
forms of belief, as well as of that large
majority who are awaiting the issue of a
conflict in which neither side has as yet
an undisputed victory. ■ It cannot be de
nied that with him the anti-Darwinians
will lose their most able champion.”

mms Oil is manufactured by us on the sea

healthy Livers of the Cod only, without the aid
of any chemicals, by the simplest nossible process
and lowest temperature, by which the Oil can be
separated from the cells of the livers. It is nearly
dt'void if color, odor, and flavor, having only a
bland, fish-like,and to most persons,not unpleas
ant taste. It is so sweet and pure that it can be
retained by the stomach when other kinds fail.
an*l patients soon become to like it.
The secret of making cood Cod Liver Oil lies in
the proper application^ the proper degree of
heat; too much or too little wffl seriously injure
the quality. Great attention to dean tineas is also
absolutely necessary to produce sweet Cod Liver
Oil. The raucid oil generally found in market is
the product of manufacturers who are careless
about these matters.
