And when Allen drove Mace's breath out of him, and made him gasp, Mace remarked, when he recovered ?nd came up again, "If you do that again, Tom, I'll have to hit yon on the nose," and Allen laughed.

The principal feature of the festival will be the combination of star artists from all the operatic organiza? tions at present in America, with many foreign arttets of repute. -Charlea Bowles, Esq., of the Paris bank lng firm of Bowles Brothers, recently testified before the Ways and Means Committee on the policy and practicability of lauding our na donal debt at a lower r *e of interest. His ?testimony, which ls very voluminous and very Interesting, has j tut been published. He claims .that a great advantage of the dissemination of small bonus among the people of the various .countries of Europe would result in a more general diffusion of knowledge of the resources power and geography of the Waited States and consequently in an increase of immigra lion. The proposed mode of fund lng the debt, being without constraint on the part of the pres? ent bondholders, or coercion on the part of the government, is a new thing in finances for European countries, where the usual process is, In effect, a forced conversion, and therefore would be an especially interesting fact to place ?before the middle classes holding our bonds to Europe. He felt so confident of the avidity with which the bonds would be taken up by the smaller classes, even at four per cent., that he said there would probably be a de? mand for three times the necessary amount, provided they were made payable In the three international currencies, either dollars, francs or pounds, at the fiscal agencies of the United States. -The sad life-history of Theodore Clay, the recently deceased son. of the Sago of Ashland, Is thus told : "At thirty yearn of a-*, Theodore .Clay was a promising lawyer. He was the image and the hope of the statesman whose 11 fame was on every tongue, though there were whispers of wild living ?n?Vindifferent morals, which were generally condoned as follies of youth. At thia turning point of his life, the young man began to pursue with unwarying perseverance a young lady o? Lexington, whom I J ne had long hopelessly loved, and who is now one of the brightest ornaments of Kentucky society. Sb? repulsed, firmly bnt kindly, J1 every attention offered by the infatuated 1 young man, after bis meaning had become manifest. It was of no use; he would not be refused, and followed his fair fate in the streets by day and wandered in the neigh? borhood of her home by night, in an annoy? ing manner, until at last it became evident that he 'was not all there,' to use the soft phrase by which a kindly peasantry express insanity. Finally his mania took a violent form, he even demanding her hand from her father at the pistol's mouth, and in 1832 his confinement in the asylum became a necessity, his father providing by will for his support. For thirty years he was one of the most noted inmates, on account of his personal graces as well as his distinguished descent. He imag? ined that he was George Washington, and was fond of assuming his traditional attitudes. At the occasional balls In the institution he was always exquisitely dressed, and was the beau par excellence. Bul in I860 his insanity began to degenerate into hopeless idiocy, in which he has lingered till released by his recent death."_ Senator Cain and Reform. We print to-day a significant leading arti? cle from the Missionary Record, in which Senator Cain, a leading spirit among the black citizens of the State, applauds the purposes of the Reform "Mass Meeting, whose demands, he says, "we second with all our "heart." Senator Cain, however, with a natural desire to perpetuate the strength of South Carolina Republicanism, urges the honest men of his party "to purge out the "thieves and robbers," upon the ground thal the Retrenchment and Reform which we need tan most .surely be obtained "within "the Republican party." This sentiment may be shared by some who have, up to this time, fought in the ranks of the Opposi? tion; but any attempt to regenerate and re? form what is known here as the Republican Party, would, at this time, we are fully con? vinced, fasten upon the State moro firmly than ever the shackles of Dishonesty and Corruption. The Scott Ring have made Radicalism odious by their wanton extravagance, their, wilful waste, and their persistent disregard of the interests and wants of the people. Nine tenths of tho white people of the State would, for this reason, without going farther, flatly refuse to have anything to do with any movement saddled with the name of Repub? lican. And what would become of - the few earnest men who might go oyer.in the hope of leavening the lump^? Like pebbles cast into the mire, they would be lost to sight; with the tilth of Fraud and Wrong above and around them, they would be utterly un? able to help themselves or their people. Nor do the Scott Ring desire to obtain respecta? ble recruits. They fear the advent of honest and intcUigent men. Already they denounce and abuse any man who may go over to their party with the expectation of sharing their power and their place. Their organ cries aloud that none but (ried Republicans must be put on guard. And now it exhorts the party to trust no Democrat who joins them until they KNOW him to be an out-and out, thorough RADICAL FROM CONVIC? TION. This is enough to show what decent men may look for if they go over to the Republi? canism of the present. And, besides, the Ring, which has led the party for two years and more, leads it still. The men who com? pose that Ring are gorged wfth spoils, but they cry for more. They want more office, more jobbery, more bribery, more pecula? tion. They are manipulating the party in the interest of their own greed. And how? ever better men, like Senator Cain, may call for Reform within the Republican ranks, it is as certain as the rising of the morrow's sun, that the triumph of the Radical Repub? lican party in the fall elections will have as its only result the perpetuation of the power of the Ring and the inauguration of another reign of Profligacy and Theft There is but one hope for South Carolina, and it lies in the prompt and thorough or? ganization of all the good people of the State, upon the broad platform of Reform. There may stand, Democrat and Republican, white man and black man, the native citi? zen and thc adopled son of the State, all working manfully, under the law, for the triumph, not of race or party, but of the eternal principles of good government-for Honesty, Retrenchment and Reform. More Sumiicrlsm. The Seuaie has passed Sumner's new bill to enforce the XVth amendment. The House will probably not be long in following suit. So we go. Congress, it would seem, means to leave few follies for the recon? structed Legislatures of the South to com? mit. A New York View of Reform. The New York Times (Republican) edi? torially alludes to the Reform movement in South Carolina in the following terms: "The union in South Carolina of 'all classes, colors and political parties' to advocate Re? trenchment and Reform In Hie government of the State, represents a tendency of which the history of the next few years will probably fur? nish abundant examples. In the absence of any absorbing party Issue, men naturally turn their attention to the most vital, though, fre? quently the most neglected of all questions, the efficiency of the executive power. Waste, corruption and misrule may be hidden for a t|me under the shadow of party majorities, but the hour arrives when the public senti? ment, without respect to political distinction, demands with irresistible unanimity an honest and capable management of public affairs. When will Republicans in New York have ar? rived at that stage." Current Literature. THE WOMAN OP BUSINESS; OR, THE L.VDT AND TUE LAWYER. A Novel. By Marian Savage, author of "The Bachelor ot the Albany," ic. New York: D. Appleton 4 Co. 1S70. As a novel "The Woman of Business" has much positive merit, while ita faults are of a negative character. It is free from sensa : ion a ism, and in its many pages are found neither the paroxysms of passion nor the rav? ings of despair. Love, sentiment and., inci lent march leisurely along, and, from the .?sing of the curtain, the general d?nouement s plain to even a careless reader. But the >ook is thoroughly healthy in tone, and the tr?mate personae, if not of a startling orig nality, are life-like aud consistent through )ut. Fatima Evelyn, "The Woman of Busi tess," whom multiplication _doe3 not vex, lor fractions drive mad, is a charming cren? ion ; a dignified, loving woman, with the ien3o to know what her work is, and the ?'.uck and energy to do that work well. Ar ?aud, the muscular missionary, wt o lakes pipes and prayer in alternate whins, is tally sketched," and as much may be sa Marjoram, the solicitor; of Mr. Upjohn his malignant wife; of "Woodville, the tist, and of Alexander, the conquering ot the work.

The reader will prefer to find out for 1 self in what sense this is really '"'A Rao a Wife," for if that simple riddle were so there would be little inducement to read hundred and sixty pages of the sayings doings of a weak spendthrift, a pale-ha swell-of the Ouida order-a wilful girl, a knavish horse-racing attorney. The: nothing novel in the book, except the cur ' use made of the old right of "heriot," u which the plot hinges. The final ?e< ciliation and friendship between the comfitted Pearman and the triumpl Mauge and her lover, is both inconsis^ and unnatural. For sale by John Russell, King str Price 50 cents. THE FIRST BOOK OK BOTANY. Designed to tivate thc observing powers of children. Eriza A. Youmuns. New York: D. Ap toiT?- Co. In the Southern States, whose resoui aie least appreciated by their own peo; the study of botany has a practical valui various important directions, and it wc augur well for the intelligent pursuit of a; culture and horticulture if botany w taught in every school in the Carolinas, a cla3S-book, the manual before*us seems fulfil every requirement. It sends the piq to the plant to get their knowledge of I plant, and carries them on,. step by st until they have obtained a thorough famili ity with the plants themselves, as well with the technicalities of the science. 1 schedule feature of the systrin has bi thoroughly tested, and we judge that the tie work may be used with advantage those to whom top3 and marbles are thir of the past.

Nei York: D. Appleton St Co. H70. Professor Harkness has given us a new edition of Ciosar, for which all but ter? luz; schoolboys will bles3 him. The notes ar full and interesting, and a special dictionar at the end of the volume renders the begin uer iu Latin independent, in great measure of a separate lexicon. LOTHAIR. By the Right Honorable B. Dis mell. New York: I). Appleton A Co. 1870 The Saturday Review did not over-rate I the mingled surprise and impatience of tin I British public when it said, some weeks ago, that if Mr. Disraeli had given notice that, oi Monday, the 2d of May, he would sing at th? opera, dance on a tight rope at tffe Crysta! Palace, or preach a sermon at Mr. Spur? geons Tabernacle, popular surprise and curiosity would not have been more strong? ly roused than they were by the announce? ment that on that day would be published his new novel, Lothair. It was twenty-three years since Mr. Disraeli had published his la3t romance, and hi3 career during that period had been of a character well calculat? ed to cause the publfc to look with keen in? terest upon the resumption of his old char? acter aa a novelist. It is not strange, then, that in Euglaud Lothair has created a furore; and in this country the demaud hap, too, been too great to be supplied by even the teeming presses of the Appletons. The book will be read, we take it for granted, by every man, wom?n and child who take3 an interest in politics and social science, or who cares to be in the fashion,, and a few words of geueral criticism upon the manner and matter of the book is all that thc Southern public may desire. There is no indication that Lothair was written for a great purpose. Every phase of modern philosophic thought, of political doctrine, of religious belief, of polite society, 13 touched upon in turn ; but the views and opinions of opposing sect3 and warring schools are 3tated with a dispassionate clear? ness, which is possessed by those only who, like Mr. Disraeli, are "the masters and not "the servants of their principles." A skilful novelist, he casts his lines in pleasant places, and allows nothing to be said or done which would shock the delicate sensibilities of a super-refined society. Lothair has no plot worthy of the name, and there is no flesh and blood individuality in the characters. Theodora is a splendid impossibility; the hero is led by fancy and not by conviction, by a promise to an ador? ed woman and not by fixed belief. There i3 no fixity or stability in the mind of this young Lothair, who settles down at last to the comfortable conclusion that the best thing for him ls to take things as they are, and to remain absorbed into the yielding bosom of the British aristocracy. ' But Lothair is a brilliant work; one well worthy of the genios of the author of Sybil Gray; and it has all the freshness and vivaci? ty of youth. There are the keen satire," the sparkling epigram, and the wonderful sketches of man and manners, as we knew them of old. Neither age nor the din of party politics has dulled the edge of the author's fancy or dimmed the brightness of his wit There is a gem in almost every paragraph, and a cluster of bon-mots in nearly every page. Most of the characters in Lothair are said to be drawn from life, but, having taken the general idea from living men and women, Mr. Disraeli tints and groups his personages to suit himself. Lothair is understood to be the Marquis of Bute, the Duchess is the Duchess of Abercorn, Cardinal Grandison is Archbishop Manning, the Oxford Profes? sor is Goldwin Smith, Catesby is Father Capel, an English Priest, and thc Bishop ?3 Bishop Wilberforce. And by this time the original has doubtless been found of every other character in Lothair. &";" 3j j For sale"by John Russell, King street. ID ams.

Wc beg leave respectfully to call the attention of thc public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts. As ten years have now elapsed Hlnce we first In? troduced them to the notice of thc American pub? lic, we deem it unnecessary at present to enter into a lengthy description of their merits, Ac. There ls hardly a elty or town of any note in the country Into which they have not found their way. Thc reason of this widespread popularity and dally Increasing demand ls owing entirely to their peculiar excellence aol Intrinsic worth. Being determined to make th' m the Standard Ex? tracts of thc day, we have si 111 further improved their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be? lieve that they stand without a rival. Our Vanilla Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and delicacy of davor. It ls a strictly pure and high? ly concentiated Extract of Vanilla Beans. In short, we think it the best that is made, at least, this is the decision of the best judges in the coun? try. We don't pretend to compete In price with many of the so-called Flavoring Extracts of tho day, which are. really but worthless compounds, undeserving of thc name. For quality and style, we defy competition. DAVIS A MILLER'S PURE YEAST POWDER.
