The curb consists of an inch plate, eighteen inches broad, pierced with holes, and having a corrugated flange at the top. The plate is embedded perpendicularly be Bide the pavement, and the flange extends on the surface several iuches to meet the bricks. -London, on tho morning of April -1th, was visited by an exceedingly heavy fog. In the central parts of the city for two hours the darkness was extraordinary, and the street traffic was impeded. In the suburbs the sun shone with unusual brilliancy during the time the centre of the city was enveloped by this dense fog, -No less than seven new and different bio? graphies of General Grant, it is stated, are in rapid preparation by authors and printers for the Presidential campaign. The writers of theso biographies are as follows : Charles A. Dana, A. D. ^Richardson, Henry C. Deming, E. D. Mansfield, John S. C. Abbott, J. T. Headley, P. C. Headley. -Smugglers have been introducing silks, opium and cigars into San Francisco, by con? cealing the articles in hollow logs, shipped, it is stated, from Victoria, British Columbia. The logs are bored as if to be used for water pipes, and the ends are then tapered off until the Une of union with the plug which has been insert? ed is made as indistinct as possible. -In schools in Germany, it is reported, the art of housekeeping is taught thoroughly. Es? says aro written upon the subject setting forth the prices of fowls. How much a fat fowl should veigh. How much a lean one. A reason? able pri-je. What food fattens fowls best. What sort of fowls they are, and how old. The price of cabbages, of carrots, of apples; their sorts, tho quantity produced; the daily expenses, the bargains., the shops, are all discussed. -In France, thc laws are very strict against persons in civil lite carrying weapons. An in? vention has recently been made, however, which, while conforming to the law, is a par? tial aid as a means of defence against midnight robbers. It consists of a small horn inserted in the end of a cane, which contains an electric battery and a small lamp with two powerful re? flectors. The intensity of this light, it is said, temporarily blinds any person at whom it is pointed. The lamp is kindled at will, by press? ing a small knob at tho other end of the stick, which communicates with an electric wire. -Prince Alfred, whose attempted assassina? tion is announced from Australia, is Queen Victoria's foiirih child. HJ was born in 1314, and is consequently now about twenty-four years of ase. From his earliest years he has been regarded as the most intelligent and sen? sible of the royal family, aud has been far more popular with tho English people thau any other of the Queen's childreu. He h sids the rank of Duke of Edinburgh, and is a cap? tain in the English navy. He has ttavelled ex? tensively over the world, but whilst he has been in the Canadas, he has not yet visited the United States. Tho Cable reports the ! Prince in a fair way to recover, and adds that i ho is to bo sent homo to England. -A Washington letter says: "On the morn- , ing of tho recent election in Chicago the Ratji- i cal organs made the most earnest appeals to their partisans to turnout, and urged that it would never do to allow the National Republi? can Convention to bo held in a 'Copperhead' 1 city. The Chicago Tribune said that as Chicago 1 went that day, tho whole Southwest would go j in November next. When the news came here j on Thursday that tho Democrats had gained , the day, tho Radical Congressmen from Uli nois would not believe it at first, and only gavo in on tho most convincing proofs. The Radi- ' cals are slowly awaking to the fact that there 1 is not so much maxie in Grant's name as they ] imagined. They emblazoned hie pic ture on their \ tickets in Now Hampshire and Connecticut, ( and the results were not very encouraging. < When it was claimed that the Wcsi would go for him in a whirlwiud of enthusiasm, and yet in an important election in the metropolitan 1 city of his own Stato his party are overwhelm- t ingly beaten, and this in the face oi the fact i that they have triumphed at all the elections in , that city for years past.'' -It is allowed to but few men to survive such a mass of obituary comments, and all cast in thc high phrases of admiration, as Dr. Livingstone has outlived. He will be the real ] redioicits of our century. The very jaws of < the gravo could not release one whose returned < presence would furnish greater surprise and moro general satisfaction. His will have been tho only living eyes in the head of a white niau that have surveyed thc lands and the inhabi- ' tnnts of the heart uftrnkuown Africa. His the '? only faco that has leon bronzed by the fierce ; buna of that vague and vast tropical inte- ! rior. Tho geographical societies will want almost to de vom- him, in order to pos? sess themselves bodily ol the treasury of his rare knowledge. The ethnologists will feel iiko pulling him limb from limb, roy? alty will make haste to do him honor, whose [ own highest proof ol royalty is to be found in bis mteJligent courage and undying fortitude. His return, which may now be looked for in Entr- ; land as not very far off, will create a social and scientific stir to wir ch the Parliamentary de? bates w?l be as nothing in comparison. And ; all this, not simply because an individual has succeeded in safely crossing the wilds of Alfi? ca, but because a large knowledge of that enigmatical continent has stretched and in? formed tho thought of every man who aims seriously to grasp a:id realize all the possible conditions of tho human race. -In noticing the arrival of Hon. Anson Bur? lingame and suite at San Francisco on thc 31st ult., tho Alta California says: ,;The arrival in ' San Francisco o; a special embassy, clothed 1 with extraordinary powers, from the oldest 1 empire in the world to the great treaty powers i of America and Europe, is in itself an event j deserving tho marked attention which it is , B?ro to attract. So long has China remained a sealed book to the rest ot the world, so long have the meshes of her perverse and impene? trable diplomacy baffled the advance of all J Christendom, we^cannot fail to regard tlr.s ? mission as one endowed with peculiar signifi? cance and importance. Added to this, how? ever, is the fact Ithat the head of the embas? sy is an American citizen, who returns to his own native land clad with extraordinary functions and hol(liii<r the .confidence of the Imperial Government of a mighty and wealthy people. This is the first substantial compli? ment ever paid to American diplomacy, and Hr. Burlingame may well be proud that he has been thc first foreigner, as well as th ; first American, to secure such a mark from so haughty and exclusive an imperialism as that ol' China. It is nothing less than introducing Chinese to the great family of Christain na? tions. In years io come the Courts of St. James, Versailles, Berliu, Vienna, and the cap? ital of our own country, will receive Chinese ambassadors and ministers plenipotentiary. America now stands sponsor tor these budding diplomats from thc Centrai Flowery Land" CHARLESTON. THURSDAY MORNING, AFRIL 30. 1868. King Theodore Gone to Grata. The Abyssinian war, which has just closed, is a curious illustration of English character. It was not until every device of diplomacy had been exhausted in vain, not until bribes had been rejected, ransom de? nied, and every form of compromise spurned, that John Bull made up his mind to fight. The preparations for the war were begun more than a year ago, and amid a storm of ridicule and condemnation, they continued, until at last an expedition? ary force was organized, more complete in its details than any which has ever left the shores of England Troops adapted to the peculiar service were gathered from India and the East, appliances for the transporta? tion of army materiel over the arid sands and across the Abyssinian mountains were provided ; and, with all the foresight of human skill and experience, curious ma? chinery was mr.de to supply the place of men and animals. The chemist, electrician and engineer contributed their wealth of usefulness, and at last, when the sturdy chief, with his Scotch caution and unwea? ried patience, saw that all was well, he gave the order, and England marched once more to victory The result fully justifies both the scale cn which the expedition was organized and the tactics of its commander. One decisive blow ha9 ended the war; the English captives are on their way home? ward rejoicing, and the voico of ridicule is hushed in songs of praise. King THEODORE has died '. in the last ditch, " and we sin? cerely trust has gone to Abyssinian glory. He was a half heathen and barbarian wretch at best, and received just what he deserved when NAT-IER wrote his obituary in blood. Lucretius Mr. TENNYSON'S new poem deserves some? thing more than a passing notice, whether it be regarded simply as to its intrinsic merit, or, less individually, as the last elabo? rate effort of so great a master. "Lucretius" has been long expected, and from the form of its announcement we had hardly looked for its appearance in the ephemeral pages of a magazine, a form of publication which has not of late been conducive to the growth of Mr. TENNYSON'S renown. But. since its appearance in "Macmillan" is heralded with much flourish of trumpets, and warn? ings against piratical infringements of copy? right, we are to presume that we have here the identical poem which has been so long looked for, and that the poet bas once more given up his mind to be "vexed by the shallow wit of the dark-browed sophists" of the press. Like most of Mr. TENNYSON'S elaborate poems, "Lucretius'1 hardly unfolds its beau? ties to the casual and thoughtless reader. Carried on by tho wonderful melody of the verse-and the Laureate's sternest critics nan hardly deny that he has brought Eng? lish blank verse to a pitch of rythmical per? fection unrivalled in English literature ?he reader is apt to pass over unnoticed the more recondite beauties jf the poem, its bursts of musical cxpressiou, its subtle philosophic analysis, its pathetic insight into the great poet's nature, its dramatic iruth and power as deduced from what we ?now of the character and history of LU? CRETIUS. To this last feature of the poem ?ve can hardly do justic? in ii short notice .ike the present, but all who are familiar Kith the workings of LUCRETIUS' mind, as lisplayed in his famous poem "De Herum Satura," will reccguize the wonderful skill vith which Mr. TENNYSON has seized upon ind epitomized the doubts and perplexities, he pathetic gropiugs alter a truth which vas hid from the seeker's eyes amid the ?onfusions of contemporary systems, all of ?vhich have made LrcRETica one of the most utractive names in Loman literature. The poem is fol! of those felicities of ex? pression in which the Laureate never fails, ?ven when his other accustomed merits are ?bscured. Some passages there are which will rauk iu melody and descriptive beauty with his best efforts. The opening of Lu :rtr.Tirs' soliloquy is vcr;* fine : Storm in the night ! for thrice I heard the rain Boshing, andoneo the dash of a thunderbolt Methought I never saw so tierce a fork Struck out the streaming mountain-side and showed A. riotous confluence of water-courses Blanching and billowing in a hollow of it. No one but Mr. TENNYSON could have written the following passage : -the sun *** **** King of the East although he seem, and pin With song and dame a:id fragrance, slowly lifts I Hi? goldea fee: on those impnrplcd stairs That climb into the wmdy hall?'of heaven. ! And here he glances on r.ti eye new-born, And gets for greeting but a wail of pain; And here bc stay.-* upon a freezing orb i'nat fain would'gtze upon him to the last; Anil here upon a yellow eyelid fallen And closed by those who moorna friend iu vain, Not thankful that !.is troubles are uo more. But it is impossible to multiply isola? tions, and as we published the whole poem yesterday o ir readers can supply them for themselves. "Lucretius" has fewer of those 1 verbal ambiguities th.m generally disfigure the Laureate's poems, and if it does not ?together satisfy those who are jealous /or ais fame, it will not, at all events, afford nuch of a handle to the critics who% are ealous of it. It is perhaps unreasonable o expect Mr. TENNYSON to surpass the un tpproached perfection of "Onone" and 'Guinevere." V?'hen a living poet reaches o lofty a height we must be thankful for tuyihing which, io! positive retrogression. ? ?Hcnts.
