It 'ii a sure safeguard against escape ; the prison % er ls compelled to move carefully to prevent ?wounding himself. ' -Fourteen young Chinese, belonging to the noblest families of the Celestial Empire, have Just arrived in Paris from Canton, sent by the Emperor to be instructed at the expense of the State.Every year fourteen young men are to be sent to France. I -A very simple device has been suggested I by Frenchy ingenuity for perpetuating the ill feeling which is one ol the legacies of war.

I - ' -A London paper thus speaks of the last I bal (Topera at Paris : "A favorite costume was one compromising between the symbolism of j mourning and the fact of shamelessness, I Imagine a black pair of stays, rounded off by a J short, tightly fitting black silk bathing draw er?, covered with Jet beads. Add to this single j garment a cap and boots of the same color, and imagine the limbs to be encased in slate-1 ' colored tights, and a black plume trailing from 11 the hair, and you haven very fair idea of the I < pop ular fem ale dress of Sat urday's bald'opera." 11 -Journalists are appreciated and under? stood in the Golden States. The California Assembly has ordered to engrossment, prepa- I, ratory to passage, a bill exempting them from j. jury service. The passage of the bill was not I asked tor by the journalists, but it was con ceded them as.a matter ol right, upon the ground that they were engaged in public 11 duties quite as necessary, and even Impera-1 ' tlve'; as jury service. Practically the courts 1 everywhere make a discrimination In favor of Journalists, but a formal law ls more to the point. I -The proposition to establish great gam bling houses la Paris Is likely td be adopted. The advocates of it have Just brought forward their strongest argument, namely, that the I ' Germans are extremely uneasy at the prospect of the Paris gambling tables causing the Baden-Baden, Ems, Homburg and Wiesbaden I ! establishments to ba deserted. It ls well ! known that the German Government has de? termined that the houses in the empire shall ' * be closed, but there is an idea that a little spite can be shown by setting up rival rouge-et noir tables, and now the whole population ol France will be In favor of lt. ! -During Lieutenant Frederick Grant's 6 tay at Nice, balls, parties and breakfasts sue- I reeded each other In bewildering confusion.

The young Marquis is a comparatively recent I ., convert to the Catholic faith, and since his conversion he has distinguished himself by I his princely expenditures of money-be ls possessed of vast riches-in endowing and assisting Catholic Institutions. He ls the I "Lothalr" of Disraeli's novel, and for two or three years has been prominently before the English public In tbe gossip column? of the I newspapers. His father-in-law that is to be comes of one of the old historic families of England, going back to the time of the early history of England. The Howards of old. Dukes of Norfolk, were almost royal in their power, and In the grandeur of their slate and Influence. Through many vicissitudes they have retained their high character and posi? tion, and are to-day, for many reasons, among the most interesting houses whose pedigrees adorn Burke's or DeBreti's peerage. -A curious business is said to have sprung up in London to reduce the cost of telegraph? ing to distant points. The charge to India, for instance, is ninety shillings for twenty words, and the address is included. A firm In London agreed to take and forward all mes? sages at ten shillings a word, more or less. The address will generahy use from six to ten words, and frequently messages need consist of only two or three words if a cypher has been agreed upon. The "message packers," as they are called, have their own cypher, and send-all messages to their own agents In Cal? cutta. In a twenty word message they may thus Bend, in some coses, as many as ten Bepa? rate messages, receiving from their custom? ers ten pounds, and making a profit of five pounds ten shillings. Their customers, en the other hand, have paid altogether but ten pounds for what, under ordinary circum? stances, would have cost them foriy-oue pounds. The telegraph company pockets all the loss. At the recent telegraph conference in Rome this was discussed among other topics, but no way could be found to suppress the practice. -In his address at Brooklyn, New^fork, Thursday night, on the "Life of Washington," vice-President Colfax, took occasion to refer to tbe present controversy between America and Eoglandyln regt jd to which he is report? ed as follows : "I. give no credit to what I hear by the .cable under the ocean as to the mother country, as we .call ber, receding from this solemn compact. [Applause.] Oh, no. With this great step in advance, with the dis? tinct understanding all. over the world that. every question and difficulty between these two nations were to be submitted to arbitra? tion at Geneva, and the majority of tbe persons j appointed by the monarchies to Bettie the ques- J Hons between the republic and the monarchy. I say that neither nation will dare, in the face of | the civilized world, to destroy that compact which ls solemnly made before God and man, and to leave those Irritating difficulties open for further altercation in the future. [Ap? plause.] No, no. If we were not to receive one dollar as the result of that arbitration, I would stand before my countrymen and say, Settle this question, whether we receive nothing or whether our treasury becomes bankrupt, rather than recede a hair's breadth from that moral position that these nations occupy to-day in respect to the other nations of the earth. It Bays to the countries of En-1 rope, In trumpet tones, 'Disband your armies of millions of men In France, in Germany, in Austria and in Russia. Copy our example, and Eubmit your disputes to impartial arbi? tration."' What Next ? There is a State and county tax of sev? enteen and a half mills to begin with. To this most be added the special annual tax of j three mills, for the redemption of the bills j receivable to be issued to the Blue Ridge Railroad Company. The entire tax of 20? mills for 1872, upon property assessed for taxation at $160,000,000, amounts to $3, 280,000. And this is exclusive of the license and jjtop acts, which are expected to add largely^) the public revenue. "We suppose that we are not very far from the mark when we say that at least three and three quarter millions of money are expected to be wrung j from the taxpayers during the fiscal year. Comptroller Neagle's estimate of the ex? penditures of the. year is $2,468,000; in? cluding $650,000 for ordinary expenses, $400,000 for*legialative expenses^ $300,000 for printing, $718,000 for interest, and $400, 000, for deficiencies. To this must be added the county expenditures, $400,000; the float? ing debt, $1,000,000, and the annual quota for redemption of the Blue Ridge bills, $480,000, makiag a grand total of $4,348,- j 000. The estimates, therefore, of the present year are nearly ten times the average an? nual tax before the war, and yet, in the past year, the State debt has been increased </rom $9,000,000 to S16.000.000. This is a deplorable condition of things, and we do not learn now for toe first time that neither the arguments nor the prayers j of the taxpaying minority will be heeded by the tax-levying majority. Tbe Legislature, DD the point of dissolution, cares not a jot Tor the welfare of the State. Its only aim is j to raise money enough to pay its own mo? uing expenses, and to enable the State offi? cials to conceal ? the violations of law which promised to lead some of their number into the penitent ian-. And where is tbe remedy ? The general elections take place this fall; the third gene? ral elections under the new system of gov? ernment. In 1868, the Democracy were only nominally.in the field, and the Legisla? ture was miserably bad. Io 187?? an attempt was made to elect Reformers, without regard to party, and the Legislature was worse. The General Assembly of 1868 was intelli? gent and spotless in comparison with that of | 1870. And, impossible though it may seem, we may fear that the adoption by the minor? ity this fail of the tactics of 1868 or 1870 will give the State next winter a Legislature and an official Ring even more venal and ignorant than those now in power. Warlike Germany. The efficiency.of the German military ad? ministration ls shown in the fact that in the space of ten months the re-establlshmenutf the German army has been completed in all essential points. Uniforms, boot s and helmets have been renewed; and the soldiers' knap? sacks, as well as bells and saddles, have been repaired. Some 6000 transport wagon?, that at the close of the war were mere wrecks, have been replaced with vehicles flt for immediate service, and the artillery has undergone a ; complete renovation. The horses which re? turned from France were in excellent condi? tion; those killed In battle were replaced ten? fold by those captured from the French. When I the army was demobilized great numbers of j horses were sold, briDging higher prices than were originally paid for them by the govern? ment. The Prussian newspapers are exceed? ingly tiappy over this very satisfactory condl-1 tlon of military affairs. New Booka. THE LIFE ANDTIMES OF TUE REV. JOHN WES? LEY, M. A.. FOUNDER OF THE METHODISTS. By Rev. L Tye rm an, author of "The Life and Times of Rev. S. Wesley, M. A., Father of | the Revs. J. and C. Wesley." In, three vols. Vol. 1. New York: Harper & Broth? ers, 1872. Charleston: Holtness Book? House. John Wesley's name belongs to history. He is one of the prominent figures amongst the great men of the Eighteenth Century. He Blands the recognized leader of one of the tr featest religious revolutions of modern times, and his principles and influence are embodied In an organization already nearly world-wide. With respect to this influent ?arl Stanhope has said, truly and forcibly, "With Jess immedi? ate importance than war or political changes, lt endures long after not only the result but the memory ot these has passed away; and thousands who never heard of Fontenoy or Walpole continue to hold the precepts and venerate the name of John Wesley." This eminent man was by native endowment, by careful culture, by entire consecration of his powers to public usefulness, by Immeasurable activity extended through an extraordinary period of service, a conspirions mark* for ob? servation during his lifetime-at first the ob? ject of persecution and obloquy, at last of un? bounded admiration to the men of the last century. During the present century six biographers-emong them Robert Southey, Richard Watson and Isaac Taylor-have given the world a view of his character and labors. We have now before us, as a fresh contribu? tion, the first volume of an American edition of au elaborate work, published in London, by Rev. L. Tyerman, a Wesleyan minister. This work is in three volumes, and bas attracted much attention in England. The American reprint is a very handsome voluH?of five hundred and sixty-four pages. Mr. Tyerman has been gathering materials for this publica? tion during seventeen years. He has ran? sacked magazines, newspaper.", pamphlets, tracts and old letters, published and unpub? lished, and has presented whatever of his mass of new materials was likely to be of gen eral interest, or would aid ia exhibiting a true portraiture of Wesley's character and life? work. ! The first volume covers Just 'half of Wesley's life, from 1703 to 1747. In the lucid style and clear arrangement of Mr. Tyerman the reader will follow, with sustained and in? creasing interest, the details of the early and university life of Wesley, his mission to Geor-., gia, his visit to Hernhut, his fle?d-preacblog, with its wonderful results, the strange and stirring incidents that characterized his early career; and in connection, brief but pictur? esque sketches of contemporary men ol emi? nence, and important public affairs. Alto? gether it ls one of the most readable books we have lately had in hand. BALLADS OF GOOD DEEDS AND OTHER VERSES By Henry Abbey. New York : D. Appleton & Co. 1872. Charleston: Holmes's Book House. These ballads first appeared in Appleton's j Journal, the Galaxy, Harper's Weekly and other periodicals, and may have been more attractive when taken singly than they are when brought together. The versification ls, with some exceptions, fairly smooth, abd each ballad has a moral application ; but the thought is commonplace, and the best passages are weak imitations of familiar lines In modern poetry. Doubtless the plagiarism is uninten? tional, but lt is not, for that reason, the lees evident. If. we could find a scintilla ol the divine fire in Mr. Abbey's verse, we might en? courage him to try again. As he is only dull and respectable, we advise him to slick to plain prose. Pp. ?29. Cloth. CHARACTER. By Samuel Smiles. Author of j Self Help, ?c. New York : Harper & Bros. 1872. Charleston : Holmes's Book House. In this book Mr. Smiles treats of the influ? ence of character, home power,companlonshlp. example, work, courage, self-control, 'duty, truthfulness, temper, manner* companionship of books, companionship in marriage, and the discipline of experience. It ls full of thought? ful suggestion, and rich In illustrative anecdote and example. The influence of such a work should be both wholesome and lasting, and it j ls as instructive as lt ls entertaining. A care? fully prepared index adds considerably to the value of the book. Pp. 387.

Sir Henry Holland, eminent as physician and as traveller, 1B almost as well known in America as In England. lu the immense range of his acquaintance he counts up no less than six Presidents, Mr. Johnson being thc last of them. As In the United States so In all other parts of the civilized world, he was the guest of distinguished statesmen and authors. In this book be embalms the mem? ories of the pleasantest or most celebrated people whom he has known. To be living now and writing about personal interviews with Scott, Byron, Napoleon the Great, Can? ning, the Schlegels, Sir-Humphrey Davy, and scores more of the illustrious dead ot past generations, implies a marvellous retention of i mental and physical vigor. In a fresh, neatly j turned preface, Sir Henry modestly records his 84th year. There have been many remark able instances of well-preserved body and brains, but none of late occurrence superior J to this. The book has only one fault-it ls too short. Pp. 351. Cloth.
