In these eight days 5200 horses out or the 26,500 would have been slaughtered. The remainder of 22,300, at the rate of scoo per day, would have been Just enough for another week. In other words, Paris might have held out fifteen days'*nger, if-lt had consented to subject itself to greater privations. -General Hancock "has published* a pamphlet containing hiv correspondence with General Sher? man and General Porter, on occasion of his being assigned to a command wolca ho deemed inferior to his merits. The reason given for such an as? signment appears to be tnt: Hancock had treated President Grant, trite, disrespect; but he proves that this reason ls erroneous, and that he had not .been guUty of such impoliteness. 1 -A great change has come over Japan within the last two or three years. The Japanese, are, now favoraoly inclined towards foreigners. Japan? ls fast progressing toward the civilization of America and Europe, and not ouly are railroads In precess or conot ruc doa, and telegraphs In opera tion, but on all sides a growing desire ls mantles ted-fco-rweotrre one of the nations of the world..

Presents of food were made to the objects of male adoration, Instead of jewelry, baubles sud- gewgaw?. An- American l&dy, who was in the city during the hard times juBtnaased away, writes that "General B. had glvroti?Vt?Vboxea oraardlnes,1? the Marqols.ee G. gave "half a pound or butter," Mr. W. contri? buted "Ihn e salt herrings, a quart of beans, half a dozen potatoes and a pouud of bad butter," and so on. The successful suitor among these three practical admirers ls not named. -Shortly after the announcement of the capit? ulation of Paris to the citizens thereor, a re? markable evidence of rehaoUitatlon in the prov!? sion market manifested itself in various pans or 1 tne city. There was a sudden appearance In the shops or chickens, egg3, butter, rabbits and other , articles or rood that had been npheard or ror weeks past. The shopkeepers attempted to sell ' these commodities at outrageoua prices. The r?- ' suit was that a mob coUected and seized on them, giving ordinary prices tor the same. "he huck- | eters cried in despair, "The National Gaard to the resene !? Bat vain was the ory. The Nation? al Gnard was itself the mob. -The number of bones broken In the English lunatic asylums has given occasion ror a curious scientific inquiry, and lt is now asserted that the ribs or crazy folks are more brittle than the riba of the Bane. Dr. Heard on instituted an examina? tion ol the bones of twenty patients wbo died in the Carmarthen County Asylum. In-niue of these cases "the very frame-.wo k of'the chest was found lo be lu an abnormal and diseased atate." In two instances the breast bone broke in remov? ing lt, and generally the bones were no stronger ' than stout card-board. lu one case the surface bone was so spongy and sort that lt was easily crumbled up between the fingers. Some of the rpi witfe e&a?y cut irlth a^common knife, there being throttgh the action of the diseased brain a - wasting amy oT toa phosphates. V-FTGQI a*cleatiflc poiBVOtWIew, thc ravages of' war in and aro uh d Paris are deplorable. In tho Jardin des Plantes and Jardin d'Acclimatization the ruin has been complete, all the animals having TJe?? sla'ugfh't?red either for food or'by way of pre? caution, and the rare trees-some of them of price? less value-?hava been cut down for defensive pur? poses <T else to make, charcoal., in thegardeus and nurseries outside the city the devastation has been equally severe. Cbatenay, the chief estab? lishment of M. Croux, rormcd the headquarters of the Bavarian artillery; the large palm house was turned into a stable and the flower tubs used as cribs. Sheep and cattle have been depastured In the Jard?n pour le3 Etudes Pomologtques, near Aulnay, and everywhere the yoang trees have famished makes for gabions .-anabranches for fagots. Th?se 'art * few of^rweffecti of civil? ized warfare." An Old Foe with a. New Face. Tlie proposal to consolidate the Greenville and Columbia and the Blue Bidge Railroads is, ia itself, an open confession that the Green? ville Birg have given up all hope of passing their two million swindling Bill. But they expect to accomplish their purpose in another way. They now ask that the two roads be -consolidat?d, and that the State waive its lien upon, the Blue Bidge Boad. This appears to be a bigger job" than the original Greenville Bill. The consolidation of the roads, coupled with a relinquishment of the Stat? lien, would give the consolidated company four milliou of guaranteed bonds, free of all restrictions as to time .md price of sale, and would deprive the State of that mort? gage which i3 its sole security for the bonds guaranteed for the BJue Ridge Company. This is "our understanding of- the. pew- Bill. I ? ;. (? ?. . "? - ? i* i! * .- ? M Its last state is worse than its first. ' The honest members of the General As- | sembly may safely regard with suspicion every measure which comes from the Railroad Ring. A -great victory ia won ; it remains to follow it up with vigor and discretion. The incorruptible few in the Senate and House must stand at their posts without. lunching, and this session of the Legislature will pass' without subtracting one dollar from the assets of the State, and without adding one dollar to the public liabilities. A Corporation that ls -N'o Corporation. We print in another column the modest Bill "relating to the Port Boyal Bailroad' "Company." This Bill is first cousin io the; Greenville swindle, and bas at least this merit, that, without equivocation, it gives the Port Royal Road "one million "dollars" in the bonds of the State. This Bill will not pass, but we desire to direct j attention to the fact that the General As? sembly, in taking any notice .of the Port Royal Railroad Company, and in consid? ering its applications for the public money, is dealing with a corporation which Aas no legal existence.. The net" to amend "An act to charter the Port Royal Railroad Company, ratified December 21, 1857," which was approved by Governor1 Scott on February, 2S, 1370, provides (section 2) "that tho'time for the "completion of said Railroad is hereby ex "tended to August 1, 1371-t ?-orided, FIFTY '"MILER ARE COMPLETED FROM THE TOWN* OT. "BEAUFORT ox OR BEFORE JANUARY FIRST; "EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-ONE. " This is plain and emphatic. The charter of the company, and its privileges, are made to depend upon the completion of j "fifty miles" of the road "from the Town "of Beaufort," by the 1st of January, 1671. But the company have failed to comply with this fundamental condition of the act of 1S70. Fifty railes of lue road, from the Town of Beaufort, were not completed by January I, 1871. This i3 an evident fact. Moreover, it is confessed in the Bill "relating to the Port Royal Railroad Com "pnuy," which provides (paragraph 3) "that the proviso heretofore enacted where "by the said company waa required to "complete fifty miles of their railroad by "the 1st day of January, 1871, is hereby "repealed, and the time for the comple? tion of the whole road is extended to "the 1st day Of January, 1873.". This is a frank acknowledgment of the truth. Unless the company had failed to com? plete the road as required by the act of j 1870, it would bc sheer nonsense to. re? peal that con Ution, and give the company an extension of time, for part as well Es for whole, to January, 1873. We hokL, therefore, that the General Assembly, in dealing on this 3d of March, 1671, with the Port Boyal Railroad Com pan5', i3 negotiating or bargaining with a concern which has no legal existence be? cause of Its fuilare to comply with a laa damental condition of the act of February, 1870. .? Two-Thirds of the Member?. " The interpretation placed upon section 7. of article UV of the State Constitution by* : hos?;- who ? hold, with ns,- that the i ufa roo ua Glanville -Bill requires th* support ol ?p?* thircls of. the whole number of the members of both branches of the General Assembly before it can become a law, and that there? fore the bill has not. yet passed the House at all, would seem to be confirmed by the record of the Legislative proceedings on all bills involving an increase of State liability that have been passed since the new consti? tution-was adopted. ID every such instance within our knowledge, and especially, be it observed, iu the case of the "bill to author? ize additional aid to the Blue Ridge Railroad Company," a measure analogous, in its gen? eral features, to the Greenville Bill, the journals show the number of those voting in the affirmative to have been two-thirds, not merely or the members voting, but of the whole number of the members of the House. p- # Light Literatee | | THBJDRVPTOBRAH.-. By James fte Mflle, author oft 'Thojpodg* Cluttr ftcV Ifdw YOPR\: Harper ft crothers. '** .*?Mr.^ilkie Collins has done much to demor? alize the respectable fiction of the day. When that Very ""cl?v?r hovepst ?oncTesS?fTded to apply the great resources of a fertile fancy and a vivid and-picturesque Imagination to-the embellishment and Justification of a purely ephemeral and mechanical style of art-when he became. in fljtct, ar mitch of a -"Sylvanuj, CobS as ii was possible' for ay writer cannie really fine ability to be-he opened a breach in the walls of legitimate fiction through which lt required no prophet's vision to foresee would soon be poured that tide of barbarian invasion which had so long been Inundating the border land of New York Ledgers and Dime romances. Of all the Goths and Vandals, however, who are thus intruding with sacrilegious feet Into the charmed circle, Mr. James De Mille ls, perhaps, the mest mischievous. Not that he ls immoral, in the conventional sense ; on the contrary, his literary bill ol fare is, in this re? spect, as milk for babes. Not that he encour? ages a breach of great OF' rittiri laws'- life vil? lains are all systematically punished, and his good people receive a thousand fold for their wrongs. We object to him because he delibe? rately sits down and Invites an unsuspecting public to sup with him, not ? la Barmecide, but /nil of horrors ; because treasons, strate gems and spoils, murders, forgeries, abduc? tions and revenges chase each other pell-mell through numberless pages ; because lrom first to last he tells us "an empty tale, full of sound and fury, and signifying-nothing/' And, finally, we object to him because all this far? rago of absurdities, in which every canon ol' probability, every law of art, is ruthlessly aud utterly set at naught, is presented to us as first-class American novel-writing, and as an object, not of criticism, but o? admiration. Throughout the interminable chapters of "The "Cryptogram" we look in vain for any snell vivid types of character as we are accustomed to find in Wilkie. Collins. No Count Fosco mitigates with his charming insouciance the extravagant sensationalism of the soi-disant "plot"-no Captain Wragge makes us forget the murky atmosphere of crime and horror through which we stagger lo the bitter end. Instead ol this, we have the stiffest of lay figures and the most hackneyed of puppets, responding with lantastic jerks to every pull of the string by the deus ex maohin?, whom the clumsily shitted scenery scarcely conceals. We can hardly imagine a more utter waste ol time than the reading of this book would in? volve. It should only be resorted to by the most determined advocate of the dolce far nknte. 9 Sra HABRJ HOTSPUR, OF HUM BLF.TII WAITE. By Anthony Trollope, author of "Barchester Tower*," ftc. New York: Harper ft Brothers. Mr. Trollope's last novel is very nearly worthy of his fame, and will rank with the best of his shorteF tales. It displays many of his peculiar excellencies ; is told in his usual pleasant, though now somewhat affected man? ner, and will find many sympathetic readers. He has used the same set of characters be? fore ; but he dresses them differently on the present occasion, and they play their trivial part very gracefully. Both the above novels can be found at all thc-book stores. Special Notices. . JJT ASSIGNEE'S NOTICE OB AP?
