They will cost pet pair, duty paid, about twenty-two cents less than American shoes. -Germany, to which we owe the easy Tyrolese hats, intends to reform thc chtmuey-pot of fashionable society. Eighty representatives of the leading hdt manufacturers of thc fatherland have met in solemn conclave for this purpose. Fourteen models were presented to thc meeting, from which ."tiree were chosen by a jury or ten experts. All three came from the workshops of Berlin, and, arter a long deliberation, one of the j three was finally selected as the hat of the future. -Mr. Wm.

Nearly all thc evidence In the ease was to the single point as to the fact of Insanity. The theory used to be that suicide vitiated a life policy of insurance. Several high judicial decisions recently have pret? ty well established the theory that insanity is a disease, and that if it leads to death the policy holder is as much entitled to recover his Insurance as if death resulted irom fever or other natural cause or accident. -Competent medical authorities aver that enormous as the number of thc killed ?nd wound? ed has beeu In thc Francu-German war, there has never before been such a large proportion of thc latter who have recovered. Fresh air bas been secured to a fuller extent than before, and tie food supply has beeu, In most instances, better managed. It hos been the aim of the surgeons to trust very much to nature; to secure rest as much as possible, and cleanliness by the a option of frequent dressing and washing of wounds; to give as Ht'lo ac: ml medicine as was really neces? sary, and to secure a full supply of wholesome food. These conditions, with a well ventilate?) room and good nursing, have yielded unusually favorable results. Where, fmrn any cause, this plan could ifot bc fairly carried out, success has been diminished. -Mr. Clark M:lls visited General Grant lately for the purpose of vetting from him an au them 1 : account of the particulars attending the surren* der or General Lee, to aid him in his proposed workorreprosentalion or thc event in bass relief for his monument. On this point the President said: "Leecame lu with a nag of truce to see on what terms I would receive hts surrender. I .stated the terms, and Lee said: 'Please reduce that to writing.' I took some manifold paper .and made several copies and Banded one to him sayiug: 'There; I believe that ls about as 1 talk? ed.' Lee read it, signed lt. and then passed it back to me and I signed it. Thc manifold copies were then 'distributed to the several generals. The transaction toole place in front of my tent, under the tree, and with a little pine tn ble be tween us." To the remark or Mr. Utils thar he had seen a picture representing the surrender as having taken place in a room with a carpeted floor, and tn the midst or the staff officers of both armies, General Grant replies that "that picture was got up to show oil the aids." Thc real sur? render took place ss vbove st?ted. -The Trinity Church property in New York City has, for many years, been claimed by the supposed heirs of Aune&e Jans, and some credo? lons persons have advanced money to prosecute this and other suits against the corporation. In an action recently brought lu the Superior Court of Sew York City by a descendant from Anncke Jans, to recover his share of the Trinity Church estate, an opinion Oiling four columns of the dally Journals has just been delivered, and lt has been decided that, from a most carernl Inspection of all the charters, grants and conveyances to said corporation, that Its title to all the lands and property held by lt is most indisputable. The Judge, nrtei" reciting the chain or title, say t: "These grants cover all the lands Rbont which there ls so much said, and to which certain pretended claims arc laid, none of which, so far as I have seen, have the slightest re? semblance to legal fairness." The sum? mary of the legal position or the church, as given by the court, ls substantially as fol? lows: When the English Crown maje the seve? ral erants, it was lu the full possession and en? joyment of all the property so granted, though lix governors and law officers gave the like pos? session of said property to the corporation of Trinity Church, which property had been lawfully In its possessen until now. The grants by the English Crown have also, since the revolution, been contlrmed by the Sew York Legislature to the corporation of Trinity ?hurch. Another point is that twenty years' possession, wilna claim or rightful ownership of land, is, In New York, a bar to all recovery by another, let his claim be ever so just or equitable. The corpora tlon or Trinity Church has neen in the lawful and Just possession of its property ror over one hun? dred and fifty years, and the court says that this fact, 'afeen together with the law and the titi? deeds, should satisfy the most unreisonable mind that the claims or the heirs of Anneke Jans against thc church arc of thc most absurd kind. The Public Domain. The swarm of lobby agents who, with full purse and glib tongue, urge the claims of the different land rings, have made little progress this session. They have, however, so much to gain, and so little to lose, that they may be expected to return to thc charge with renewed vigor when Congress reassem? bles. Fortunately, a doubt has arisen in the public mind whether the policy of giving away lands indiscriminately to huge railroad corporations ?3 a3 wise as it was thought to be ten years ago. In the West this doubt promises to develop into positive opposi? tion, and many leading members of Con? gress, as well as President Grant, have freely expressed their hostility to the pres? ent system. More than four-fifths of the total area of the United States remain in possession of the country at large. Already 186,000,000 acres, a territory as large aa that of Great Britain and France combined, have been positively given away by the people, chiefly to railroad companies. About 1,820,000,000 acres are still at the disposal x?f the people; but Congress has already under considera? tion applications for a grant of 190,000,000 acres, exceeding the combined area of Spaiu, Italy and Switzerland. The area of land ab ready granted, according to a calculation made by The Nation, is four times as large as tho whole of New England, twice as large as all the Central Atlaulic States combined, in? cluding Ohio, and half as large again as thc live Southern Atlantic States, or as thc five great Western States of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan united. And the grants utuler consideration by Congress would double and treble these amounts. It has growi into a dogma that the pros? perity of the country requires a continued progress in settling up larger and still larger portions OT Hie public domain. Pop? ular sentiment approved of whatever seemed lo promise a speedy cultivation of ihe open lands. The sale of land at nominal figures, the free gift or land to actual settlers under ;hc Homestead Law of 1SG2, liberal grants for military services and for agricultural col? leges, Hie earliest grants to railroads and cuuals, were all in accord with popular feel? ing. But the inquiry has uow become com? mon : Da these enormous grants, which cor? rupt legislators and interfere with other public business, really result in the ndvan tages which have been anticipated from them ? Do they really cause our waste terri? tories to be more rapidly settled? That the land-grant railroads, by salc3 of their own, materially hasten the seule? ment of the country, is now demopstrated to be a delusion. Last year thc United States issued patents or title deeds for 7,660,000 ucre3. Nearly four-fifths of this amount were for cash sales and homestead entries, and the entire amount delivered to all sub? sidized corporations was les3 than 700,000 ?teres, or less than one-tenth of the whole num? ber of acres disposed ot At this rate it would require two hundred ami fifty years for ihe existing companies to dispose of the lands given them by the United Slates, supposing that they should be able to continue their sales for town sites, depots, ?tc., al the pres? ent speed. Outof 33.000,000 acres granted to the Central Pacilic, Union Pacific and Kan? sas' Pacific Companies, only 16"?,000 acres bad been sold up lo the end of 1S69, at which rate it would require three hundred years for the disposal of the whole. There is a moro striking illustration. In 1850 the United States granted to the Illinois Central Railroad a subsidy of 2,600,000 acres of choice prairie. lands along a lin? of road traversing ihe entire length of a thriving and ?irogressi ve State. These lands have been elaborately advertised in every city in Eu? rope. Liberal terms of sale were offered to the immigrant Yet in twenty years' time tho Illinois Central Railroad has sold only two minion acres. It lias disposed of barely 100,000 acres a year in the very heart v.i one of the'tnost prosperous Slates in lim Union. At the rule of progress which th" Illinois Central has made, it would take about one thousand eight hundred und seventy years to sell the hist of the grunts which the gov? ernment ?ins already made. Wiiy, then, if ihe sale of their lands prom? ises to extend through centuries, do ihe co? lossal corporations clamor without cease for mote? Thu Nation soi ves the problem by stating that these railroads are built exclu? sively for the profits made in building them. These prouts really consist of the difference between what tho road costs lo build and the. amount the public can lie persuaded to think it is worth, and can be induced to in? vest in its securities. The more land, thc more public confidence; the nr-re public confidence, the more private prolii. For tho general public the question now is how long they will allow the patrimony of the people of the United States to be used as a bait, by means of which ihe money of the country is? withdrawn from b?n?ficiai indus? try, and invested in unprofitable enterprises from which corrupt individuals derive ex? travagant gains ? S tate and County Taxe*. A new assessment of the real and personal property in Charleston County was made last September. The assessors did tbeir work carefully, and assessed the property at a fair price, which, in the case of real estate, was, nevertheless, much higher than the market value. It was promised that taxes would be lower in 1871 than in 1870 and- 18C9, and the people prepared themselves to meet, as well as they might, thc demands upou them. As soon, however, as the assessors finished their task, the county authorities added onc-Jourlh to the assessed value of all the real estate in the county. This was equivalent to an in? crease of twenty-five per cent in the taxa? tion. Then the General Assembly stepped in, and, before going horne for the holidays, levied a tax of nine mills, aud a county tax of three mills, instead of a State tax of seven and a half mills in 1869, and of five mills in 1870. It is useless to say that this enormous tax? ation is fo" the benefit of the people. They do not ask" or expect to be free of taxation. They are ready to do their part in upholding the credit of the State. But a tax of $1 20 on the hundred dollars, for State and County purposes, is more than they can bear. It is a crushing weight, instead of being an in? centive tc more vigorous exertions. Herein Charleston, for instance, the citizen who paid a tax of S80, in 1S70, must pay S120 in 1871. And this is without taking into ac? count the addition of one-fourth to the assess? ed value of all real estate. Add to all this tho city tax of two per cen!., and it will be seen at a glauce why property does not im? prove in value, why taxe3 are so difficult of collection, and why every laboring man, as well as every property holder, is eager to throw, of! that Radical rule which is synony? mous with high taxes and low prosperity. A Good Idea. What more appropriate New Year gift can be made to a friend at a distance than to send a daily or weekly newspaper, which will keep the donor in constant remembrance throughout the year? GEN. FAiDnERBE goes into winter quar? ters at Arras in the far north. Gen. Chan sey manoeuvres to cover Havre and Cher? bourg. Gen. Bourbaki is reported to be on a wild-goose chase after Gen. Werder in the east. "Whence, then, is to come au army which, in conjunction with the forces of Trochu and Ducrot, shall-raise the siege of Paris ? The truth seems to be that there is no hope for Paris, and the declaration that the city "can hokl out formonths" is apretty good sign that it will soou surrender at dis? cretion. BoniANtA, which is composed of the prin? cipalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, hos a population of nearly 4,000,000, and under the provisions of the treaty of Paris, of 1856, has been governed by a prince and a central commission. It will be remembered that the occupation of these principalities by Russia was one of the main causes of the Crimean war, and their present declaration of inde? pendence, incontestably a Russian move? ment, tends to tangle more tightly the skein of European politics. Tire Fifth Congressional District of Geor? gia, in 18CS, gave a Radical majority of 8000, and sent only two representatives out of twenty-seven to tho Legislature, with ons State senator. Now, according to the Au? gusta Chronicle, it rolls up a Democratic majority of 0000, while the Democrats elect twenty-three representatives and all three of the State senators. ?ax BaU.
