NEWS OE THE DAT. -.Tho "iridescent'* ls the name applied:to a new style of invitation card, which radiates the hues or the rainbow. -An acre of land has been sold in the City of London for $3,600,000, and in nearly every por? tion of the city land ls said .to be Increasing In value every year. : \ -A veteran observer once declared that no ono knew what envy and jealousy were until he had served in the army. The observer probably never belonged to a church choir. *. -The suggestion has been mide, li view of the high price of butter, that some one shall devise a good vegetable oil which may take the place, upon.the table, of the product of the churn. . -Tlie Japanese carpenters are.lngenlous work? men, and their work ls done with marvelous neatness. A curious feature of their houses'ls that they do not contain a nail, all their joists and timbers being dovetailed together by many In? genious devices; and the whole work, eveu to the rafters, ls as smooth as ir it had been polished down with sandrnper. -Thc Newburyport Herald thus describes the aurora which has attracted so mach attention throughout the country: "Last evening, as soon asTlthonus had retired ror the night and was en? joying bis first snooze,hls spouse,the rosy -angered Aurora, "daughter to the Morning, snatched the saffron covered coverlet from his bed, a^d wrap? ping it about her, danced a jig in the northern sky." , -The Pittsburg paper says "that the prospects * of the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston Railroad are highly nat tering. Indeed, the enterprise may nbwheconsltnired^a'pronounced success. Thc fact that stock sufficient to organize the company was taken in one day by a lew Individuals shows that onr capitalists consider lt a good investment. The first annual elect'on of ofllcers win take place on the first Tuesday in January, 1871. -The New York Sun says; "When Governor Scott of Son: ti Carolina was Inaugurated for his second term on Toes lay last, he ente: ed thc ball of Representatives at Columbia leaning upon the arm or t he notorious .Whltremore, who is now a member pf the General Adorably of South Caru? nna, and who has been twioe kicked out of the Hon e or Repr?sentatives. Governor Scott ls ev? idently not partial! ir about his company." -The Mikado of Japan has issued a proclama? tion of neutrality In the present Fr.viet>Gcrmau war In regular diplomatic form. He go.s further even than other neutral sovereigns for his Ideas on the subject of neutrality lead him to enjoin his people that lc is their duty to "abstain from dis? cussing the qnc-tlon on which side the right or wrong Ties, and groat eire should be taken to avoid doing so, not only in written documents, but also In conversation." -The Chinese In Belleville. New Jersey, are rapidly winning their way Into public favor. They attend to their bu^ln-ss, molest no one, and are In every respect model worknieu. Many of t^ern attend div ne service regularly, and a few eve? nings since several of them were present at a lec? ture In which the subject of Chinese Inimlgr tlon was discussed. It is not at all unlikely, now that Captain Harvey's experiment has proved a suc? cess, that Chinese will be Introduced Into other employments In New Jersey, for which they are peculiarly fitted. -A Washington dispatch or Sunday to thc New York World says: "Mr. J. H. Kalney, or South Carolina, the, negro who was Selectol by the Radicals of the First District or that state in Whlttemore's place, will take his seat in the House of Representatives to-morrow, his fellow-Republi? cans finding no loophole for objecting to him and sacrificing him, as they did the Louisiana negro last session. The little enthusiasm which the Radi? cals brought Into play when Revels was sworn In as senator from Mississippi hos been effectual? ly dissipated, cmd thc appearance of a negro Con? gressman cann o t now be said to give them special cause for mutual congratulations." -Mr. Bret Harte, the author of "The Luck of Roaring Camp," and other characteristic sketch? es of California miners' life, aud the present edi? tor of the Overland Monthly, has been successful enough to bring the shabby publishers to his feet. Two magazines have been competing of late to secure lils undivided labors as a contributor, and one of them has succeeded, Mr. Harte belntr under engagement, lt ls said, to furnish it with twelve contributions for $5000. A great deal of the cele? brity of this now popular writer Is due to. one of his recently-publlsh d poems, called '1 Plain Words from Truthful James,'' wherein the "ways'' and "tricks" of the -heathen ciituee" are aptly exposed. '-According to a recent writer on the subject, lt is stated that thc disadvantages of the ordinary klnd3 or mortar at present in u>c arise chiefly from their being made of an inferior sand, and thegreat.dirhct.l-y in obtaining good saud at a moderate price! He therefore suggests an im? proved material, which requires no sand, and which only needs to be mixed with water. To prepare one ton of tirs mortar, 223 pounds of lime, either quick lime or slaked, 1728 pounds or slag and 224 pounds of calcined coal shale clay are to be ground by machlrrery, aud when brought to a powder, or a proper degree of Atienes', are tobe mixed with water,.and the mortar will be ready for use. -A German paper says that at the sortie upon Bagneux, before Paris, on October ll, a Prussian trompeter round a Frenoh signal book and tried to sound the Freuen signal of retreat. He suc? ceeded,- and lu the most terrible drift or bullets he took up a position within the French first line, hiding himself In a garden house, where he wa3 at any moment exposed to be discovered and killed by the enemy. There he sounded his bu<Me with such force'and persistence that a number of French buglemen soon answered with the same signal, and the whole French detachment, that until then had courageously advanced, began to retreat. The Prussians immediately closed upon the retreating force, which, on this retrogade movement, lost upwards of 300 men in killed, wounded and prisoners. The vaUant trumpeter's name is Fred. I: Freund, from Damm, lu Pome? rania. -"There's many a true word spoken ia jest," says the proverb. Twenty-one years ago, Mr. Thackeray contributed to Puncha series or Imagi? nary newspaper extracts descriptive of "Eng? land In 1869,"' from journals of thc period. One of theic extracts announced the intended mar? riage of one of the Queen's daughters with the eldest son of a nobleman connected with or re? lated to Cabiuct ministers and great officers or state, including in particular the Arch? bishop or Canterbury. What he wro'p In jest for the "England o? 1S69" is almost literal truth in the "England of 1S70,'' and, bating a little hu? morous exaggeration, the langnage he employed ls Identical in spirit, If not lu the letter, with the terms In wh ch the various London Journals have made known and commented on the Princess Louise's engagement. At the time the paragraph appeared, lier royal highness was the youngest child of ber patents, being in fact little more than tea months old, and might very well have passed for the "Princess Boadlca" of thc humor? ist. The Dulce of Argyll was then a clever but somewhat forward young man, knowB, where known at all out of Scotland, for his attachment to the Established Church of that Kingdom, and for one or two pamphlets In censuring the Free Church movement. Porter on Grant. R-?ar Admiral Porter is the close friend of President Grant, and i3 warmed through and tnrough by the sun of official favor. Jaunts in government vessels, pleasure trips at the public expense, all the sweets of ex? alted position are allowed to the high old Admiral. Dering the secretaryship of Mr. Borie, the gallant Admiral was the actual head of I he Navy Department, and, although Mr. Robeson is now the Secretary, Admiral Porter is understood to wield a despotic sway in the diverse matters, ranging from the equipment of a squadron to the purvey? ing of pipe-clay and buttons for amphibious marines. There is grumbling about all this, of course, but the back of President Grant ia equal to the strain, and Admiral Porter cares very little for "an independent press" while Tie is pressing forward on the road of fame uRd fortune. What could show more clearly the determination of the President to reward modest merit, and. what could prove with more certainty the disinterested char? acter of the affection with which the Admiral had always honored the successful Gcncral in-Chief? There were, however, some persons cruel enough to suggest that Admiral Porter had a lively sense of favors to come, and had not always been as devoted and true as he cer? tainly became when "General Grant wa3 elected to be President of the United States. The malicious suggestion was hastily cough? ed down, but the wicked World, which loves botli Grant and Porter, has brought to light a letter which the Admiral must find it rather hard to explain. This letter is writ? ten by Admiral Porter to Secretary Welles, and is dated in January, 1865. Admiral Porter begins by assuring Mr. Welles that the country i3 indebted to the Navy Depart? ment alono for the success of the Capo Fear exp?dition. The expedition had "neither "head nor tail," so far as the army was con? cerned, and on both occasious General Grant "permitted it to go improperly pro? vided." Tlie letter throughout is a vindi? cation of the navy, but Admiral Porter goes a little farther, and talks out very plainly about General Grant. This General Grant is, he say.% ono "who is always willing to "take the credit when anything is done, and "equally ready to lay tho blame of failure" on others. Without tho help of the navy "he would never have been Lieutetiunl-Gen "eral." There is more to come. "He icanls '-magnanimity," says Admiral Porter, "like "most officers of the army, and is so atari ..cious as regards fame that he will never, if "lie can help it, do justice to the Navy De? partment.*' Admiral Porter speaks of Gen? eral Gram's conduct as unhandsome. He says, besides, "/do not feel ul all kindly to .lward General Grant." Fie ! Admiral Por? ter. And this is the summing up of it: "His (General Grout's) course proves to me "that he would sacrifice his best friend '.rather than let any odium fall on Lieutcn ..ant-General Grant." We undertake to say that President Grant was never better de- i scribed than was dune in this letter by one who had opportunities of knowing Hie truth of what he said. What Admiral Porter thought ia I?C:>, the whole country knows in 1S70. . But the printing of the lotter put Admiral Porter in a hobble. His lirst impulse, we 1 are told, was to denounce the letter as a 1 forgery, because he and bis secretary reinem- 1 bered nothing about it. Theft, however, 1 was the hater, written in indelible ink, and 1 circulating all over the Union. He waited 1 ou the President, and " denied all recoll?e- 1 tion of the mutter." This was getting deeper ' into the mire; bat President Grant, accord- I ing to the Tribune, received Admiral Porter 1 very kindly, and treated him, he says, with much more courtesy than he had a right to expect under the circumstances. After this, , he writes a letter in which he protests that he had rather be the author of the letter to Mr. Welles than its publisher, and suggests , that things wonld bc awfully mixed " if all " the private letters written in the past six " years" saw the light of day. Why is this thus, Admiral Porter? Ouly because mon of your stamp write their honest convictions lo-daj-, and give tue ile to them by their cou iluctvon the to-morrow. Only because Presi? dent Grant, the bestower of honor and rank, was a very diflereut person from the General Srunt who bungled up the Cape Fear expo- I lition. And the apology of Admiral Porter ' s both contemptible and ludicrous. He lid not write the letter; or, if he did, he ha3 orgotten ali about it. He did not say these J langhty things; or, if he did. he did not neon what lie said. This reminds one of i he quadruple plea of the individual who vas invited lo take a matutinal julep: 1. I : lon't driuk: 2. I never drink except on my .vire's birthday; 3. I am not married; 4 I tave had four juleps already. We commend his verbal quadrilateral to the study of Ad- j niral Porter. It may be useful yet. i The long and the short of the whole thing \ 3 this: Admiral Porter calumniated Grant * n 1S?5 to please Secretary Welles; or during o he last two or three years he has played the n ivpocrite to hoodwink Grant and secure his d >wn promotion. Either horn will do. There J 5 no declaration that circumstances have hanged his views. He always loved" Grant -then why abase and villify him? He saw through Grant's character in 1865-then why profess this eternal devotion? Alas! for Porter. His name was on the point of nomination for the position of Admiral left vacant by the death of Farragut. Now, he will not be nominated, aud the office of Ad? miral will most likely be abolished. That unhappy letter has brought Porter to his official bier. II.nain n-nrrT-" Thomas Young Simons. Thc sadden death of Thomas Young Simons, the younger son of the Hon. Thos. Y. Simons, touched the heart of the commu? nity to the core, and the silent sadnes? of the throngs who took part in thc funeral services, on yesterday, waa a proof stronger than words of the de?p sympathy felt for the poor boy's parents in the hour of their great affliction. The young life was rich in hope, and bright with promise. Strikingly original in thought, fertile in fancy, courageous in the extreme, amiable, loving and obedient, he who now lies beneath the spreading oaks at Magnolia, with the weight of barely fifteen years on bis boyish head, had within him all the qualities which make up the true man and useful citizen. Fired by a generous ambition, the young cadet eagerly looked forward to the day when he, also, might win honor and public fame. The brave spirit yearned for the hour.when boyish things might be put away for the sterner duties of manhood. But the brief repose which was regarded as the preparation for the toils of the New Year, is the herald of eternal rest. He who trod the beginning of the uncertain ways of life has passed over -The broad and ample road, Whose dust ls gold and pathway stars. For them who suffer, for them to whom the dead boy was nearo3t and dearest, we have no poor words of unavailing consola? tion. They have the tenderest sympathy of all who know them. Time and Eternal Providence must do the rest. The General Election Law. A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives, by Mr. Henderson, of Newberry, to alter and amend the infamous election law, so fruitful a cause of fraud at the late elections. The bill provides that the counting of the ballots shall take place in public, and that it shall begin immediately after the closing of the po!l3, aud be continued with? out adjournment until the canvass is com? pleted. The bill should go farther, and pror vide that both political parties-tho Radical and the Conservative-be represented upon the Boards of County Commissioners and Managers of Elections. An amendment of the existing law is imperatively necessary, and if the General Assembly desire that future elections be fairly and honestly con? ducted, there will not be any difficulty in framing and passing an amendatory act which, a3 a wholesome measure of reform, will be welcomed by the whole'people. Thc Re-election of Scnntor Robertson. Senator T. J. Robertson was yesterday re? elected to the United State3 Senate by a large majority. We understand that Sena? tor Robertson, like Governor Scott, makes all manner of fair promises for the future, and as long as he labors for the good of the whole State, without regard lo class or party, this paper, at all events, will not rake up needlessly the ashes of the past. New Boole?. GOOD STORIES KOR YOUNO FEOI-LE.' By popu? lar authors. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippi neof. .t Co. Charleston: Fogartle's Dook Deposi? tory. This is a collection of thirty-one stories taken from the popular juvenile magazine, Good Words Jor thc Young, and hound to? gether ?uto an attractive volume. We call attention to il as an especially good holiday book for young people, the stories being all entertaining as well as unexceptionable, and thc .list of authors comprising some very popular names. Miss Muloch and Hans Christian Andersen figure conspicuously among them. The volume is neatly bound, and the numerous illustrations are all well done. WHICH IS TIIH HEROINE ? A Novel. New York: Harper k Bros. Charleston: John Russell. This novel strikes us as probably the first work of its anonymous author, and as such its defects must be weighed against its promises. Oh the whole the latter pre? dominate. The book is readable in spite of | a somewhat clumsy plot, uud a little too much "talkee-talkee" about "Marjory's" joubts and perplexities, some of which were laite unnecessary in that young woman, md should not have been encourag?- The character of "Ida" is well conceived and well developed, and is the most original thing in the book. ts DUTY BOUND. BV the author of "Mark Warren." New York: Harper & Bros. Charleston: John Russell. As this novel professes, on the title page to have had half a dozen predecessors, it can :laim none of the indulgence due to a first ?ffort. We eau only say, therefore, that it is pery stupid and commonplace. F .financial. o R 1T1TT~?~ SCOG0 SAVANNAH CITY BONDS, (old.) By A. C.
