Rich in Asphalt Wastaxaron, July S Special to Tne BEeE.|—A very interesting letter has been ceived at the department of state from United States Consul Plumacher, located at Mar fcaibo, Venezucla, on the subject of asphalt and petroleum in that country. Mr. Plu machier, in speaking of the petro Posits in the he repre racy sketch of some re rk He says: “That part of the departn uated between the rivers and Zulia and the Sierra and C §8 very rich in asphalt and fuformation which extensive and interesting ion, which @n uninhabited forest, is derived chiefly f the reports of the searchers for paiba, which abounds in this region, althoush tue following data are taken from the personal obscrvations of an Au L gen tlemen who made a special explora- tion. Near the Rio de Oro, and at the footof the Sicrra, there is a very curious phenome won, consisting of a horizontal cave, which constantly cjcets, in the form of large glo bules, a thick bitumen. These globules ex- plode at the mouth of the cave with a noise t to be heard a cousiderable distance, albumen, forming a slow current, into a large deposit of the same ar the river bank.

Itis a military road, it is true, but one of the principal objects in the construction of this road by the IRussian governiwent is to open the door into the great cotton felds of Central Asia. The tsar hopes to produce even more cotton from his own 80il than will be required by the manu facturers of lis country.

Higgins is a very fair sam of a class of cheap politicians who were brought into promimence by this administra- tiou and proving unsatisfactory were thrown overboara after a brief trial and permitted to sink out of sight. A year ago the name of Higgins appeared in alwost every newspaper in the country, daily, and the people about Washington wore inclined to think that he was for all time to come an influential citizen of the United States.
