The official title of the | Emperor William is 'German Emperor,' and not 'Emperor of Germany,' as he ls styled in j the speech." -Three hundred thousand shares of Erle Ballway stock were sold on the New York Stock Exchange last Saturday. The entire number of shares Issued ls about eight hun? dred and sixty'thousand, so that this day's sales sro more than one-third of the entire capital. , v. ? -The more shrewd and crafty of the Grant j Republicans are- studying how they may cap? ture the Cincinnati Convention, on the 5th ol June, and turn lt over to Philadelphia and j General Grant at a later day In the month The "little game" ls to defeat a nomination, and resolve the meeting into words, "re-j form" resolutions, Ac. -A New York telegram of Wednesday says: "General Sickles stated today that he had J negotiated a loan of $2,000,000 at five per cent, for the new Erle board, upon securities rating as high aa seventy. The new loan can be readily paid off with the earnings in a very short time, and Itself lsoulyneeded to tide the company over the rough plac?e; left by five years of Jay Gould." * ?.. . -A Washington telegram to the . Boston Globe says : "A gentleman Just arrived from Columbia, S. C., says Congressional Represen? tative Elliott, who ?has been in Columbia all I winter, assisting Governor Scott to fight off Impeachment, has made at least $150,000 clear [ cash on account of the assistance rendered. Fe has not occupied bis congressional seat a single day since Congress convened." -The Ohio Falls Car Works, at Jefferson ville. Indiana, were destroyed by fire Wednts- | day afternoon. The works were extensive, employing about' seven hundred men. Six? teen passenger coaches, nearly finished, and a number of freight and other cars were burned. The loss wir. reach $500,000. The insurance 1B about $?00,000, mostly In North? ern companies. One man is missing, and it is feared he was burned to death. -San Francisco thinks ol running her street cars-<with ordinary illuminating gas as a motive power, which it ls claimed is cheaper toft horseflesh. At the late Mechanics' Fair , In that city a gas engine was exhibited by Mr. Pioche, and worked satisfactorily. It will oc? cupy but tour feet square, and may be run lor , twelve hours at an expense of not more than three dollars, and one man nay act as en? gineer, conductor and driver.* It is claimed that no noise, smoke or danger of explosion ? will attend Us nee. -The Western Slates are now deliberating whether the disfigurement o? a wife's com-1 plexion by small-pox ought not to be added tc the list of legal grounds for divorce. The question bas been brought up by the-actlou of several estimable Chicagoans who claim to be Justified la deserting their belter-halfs for this reason; and lt ls plausibly argued that, since much less obnoxious conduct on a man's part is daily admitted as good cause for free? ing his wife from nuptial bonds, she ought not to be allowed-to pit herself against bim for life without any chance ol his escaping. -The captain cf a steamer irom Genoa thus report s the stormy weather which raged in the Atlantic recently : "After leaving Gibral- j tar the vessel met with fine weather for six days, after which it encountered a continua? tion of gales from west southwest to north northwest, veering every lew hours, and ac? companied with squalls of terrific force. During twenty-five years' experience afloat I j never encountered such weather. In the squalls the water was actually torn up ia sheets and hove lu the air. Bain poured in torrents; the mastheads were enveloped in clouds; the lightning fairly blinded us, and the thunder cracked as it wera amongst the masts, deafening all on board. Never in the tropic or uear the line have I been in such close proximity to the Ughtnlag. This weather continued more orv less un to the 15th instant, when lt gradually moderated, en? abling us to make some headway." -The latest effort to determine the exact spot where once stood the great City of Troy -the Iiion of Homer's Iliad-is being made by Dr. ' Heinrich Schliemann, a German saVant, whose name ls familiar for his scientific travels lu Nicaragua. The doctor commenced his investigations of the basin of the Scaman? der River lu, 187?, And selected the site of New Ulan, a city built lu the sixth or seventh cen- j tnry, B. C., on the supposed location o? Troy, but which now no longer exists. The great disadvantage connected with this most Inter- j esting research ls, that nothing absolutely certain survives to Indicate, to beelu with, that Troy, even in the days of Homer, was anything more than a fable and a tradition. Dr. Schllemaun, however, steadfastly upholds the opinion that a city called Troy once existed, but that its remalos have not yet been dis? covered. If these ruins can be discovert-d, he Bays, they may be found only on the spot where New Ilion slood. He bas pursued his investigations on Mount Hisurlik, a lofty hill bordering on the alluvial plain of the Scamander. He has dug to a depth of thirty three '.teStVSelow the surface ot the hill, and has discovered many Interesting remains of human handiwork in the shape of stone im? plements ol' rough manufacture, bronze and copper articles, wide earthen burial vase?, ump, tripods, drinking vasee, band-mils of stone, and bouse walls, consisting of large ?tones cemented by mud, Idols of a ptiap-like exterior, and also rough drawings of head?. In the layers nearer the surfac found a great number of articles made oi ra-cotta, and resembling boys' tops. On these contained a nicely engraved inscrit in Phoenician characters, consisting of letters. Dr. Schliemann does not, howe connect these discoveries with Troy, bul the contrary, is of the opinion that t mounds are much older than the Trojan -probably by a thousand years or more, interesting archeological fact In these dis eries ls that implements of the stone pe are found In layers above that of the bn or copper period. For the Benefit of Wall Street. From the beginning it was evident t the grand object of the late Legislative sion was to strengthen, at any cost, monetary credit of the State. It is true I our legislators held few bonds or ste themselves, and cared little for the inten of Northern capitalists; but they were gi to understand that to leave the State in financial slough would ruin the Rad party, and that the payment of their c "six dollars a day and mileage" depen upon their prompt adoption of the entire ries of monstrous measures offered for tl acceptance. They squirmed and protest but ended by complying with the behest their masters. The interest on the public debt remaii unpaid: tbe Legislature passed a law reqt iug the annual levy and collection of a I sufficient to pay that interest in full. Doubts were cast upon the validity of se1 ral millions of the new bonds : the Legis ture passed a law declaring every bond ready issued legal and binding upon t State. The conservative press had included t railroad endorsements in their reckonl of the State debt : the Legislature gave t Blue Ridge Ring $1,800,000 in con s ic ration of the4 cancelment of the State c dorsement to the amount of four million di lars. It was thought that the Financial Agen might be io the way of the speculative sain who proposed to restore the fiscal fabric its ante-bellum completeness : the Legisl ture passed a law authorizing a settleme witt the Financial Agent and the saspe j sion of the Agency. i . Rumor said that the famous Sterile 1 bonds were about to be issued : the Legisl: tura at once repealed the law and appoint? a joint committee, who certify that the bon? are cancelled. Lastly, at the suggestion of THE CHARLE TON NEWS, the Legislature adopted unas mously a resolution for an amendment I the constitution prohibiting any addition t the State -debt, except with the consent < two-thirds of the people at a general el ec tion. This completes the list of remedial Qnai: clal measures; excepting always the Licens law. There' is not one of them, save tb constitutional amendment, of which th mass of the taxpayers approve. They ar the work of the\>fflcials and the Ring, who trusting to retain for a decade the control o the State, are determined at all hazards ti go on validating and taxing until they havi restored the credit of the State in Wal street, and forced its bonds back into thi seventies. And the taxpayers are power less, or, which is much the same thing, the: believe that they are so. The legislation o the session has already caused the bonds U advance nearly ten per cent. This may b< all very tine for the money lenders and stock jobbers, but it is a terrible wrong to thc people of tbe State. About Marrying. Fcrly years ago a bloc ml: j young girl ol sixteen married an old mao of sixty lor hte mouey, expecting that he would soon die and leave her a wealthy young widow. Last week the lady died at the respectable age ot Atty six, leaving a husband aged one hundred, and four children to mourn her loss, -The above is going the rounds of the press as "a sad mistake." Sad, why sad ? We see nothing sad about it. The mao at the time of his marriage was not such an old man. Many older men have married. Last year a man ninety-two years old was married in Florida, and he was so fat that he coukln;t pall his marriage license out of bis breeches pocket, and it bad to be cat out with the bride's scissors before tbe ceremony could be perfected. As for the young girl of sixteen wbo mar? ried a man of sixty, the assumption thut she did so for bis money is purely gratuitous. No woman marries for money; and if this one did marry for money she got forty years of comfort and four children. Was there any "mistake" in that ? True, she was not left a wealthy young widow. But if ehe ex? pected to kill oil a man of sixty simply by marrying him, Bhe was a great goose, never read her Bible, and knew nothing of the his? tory of Solomon. No; women do not marry for money or wed with murderous intent. We go further and say that women marry solely out of com? passion. Motives of a selfish or mercenary natare never actuate them. They give all to get nothing. Pity is akin to love, and I what is more pitiable than an old man ? Wo? men ought to marry old men and nonejither. What earthly use has a y;uog manT?Ta" wife; what good can she do him ? He don't need her. He can drink whiskey, smoke cigars, ride horaes, play cards, sit up all night, fly around generally, jump, run, walk, Bwim, play on the accord?on, eat what he pleases, wear fancy clothes, tight boots, has got no corns, no asthma, rheu? matism, is not bald or hip-shot, wears no spectacles, can Bleep ia damp sheets, and go to the theatre and join the masons, fish, hnnt, fight duels, travel, play billiards, part his hair in the middle, get in debt and enjoy himself in every conceivable way. To such a man a wife, especially a young wife, is a superfluity. An old wife, who would act as a mother and guardian to him, might be of service to him. But when a man is in the sere, spavined, wheezy, purblind, broken down, used up aod played out, then he really needs a wife, and a young, able-bodied one to take care of him. irritate his scalp with a line-tooth comb and smooth his pathway to the tomb. And he ought to be able to pay handsomely for these services. A3 woman's life ia one of self sacrifice, that most beautiful and touch iug trait in ber character should be illustra? ted, brought out and developed. This caa best be done by marrying an ancient and dilapidated man. The "sad mistake" is in marrying yoong men. It ought never to be done. Good Signs for tfce Sontra. [From tbe New Tort Tribune.] The Southern papers are filled with adver? tisements of land fertilize?, and the mer? chants appoar to be competing greatly for the sale ol them. The demand, lt seems, is some? thing quite extraordinary in the South, and Is an oncouraglug sign for the beginning of the pluming season. It ls evidence that if the lands are worn their owners are not disposed to leave them In that condition. Proprietors of small cotton mills in the North are begin? ning to discover that there ls some truth In the idea of concentrating their resources, and there are indications that during the present spring a large number of that class of manu? facturers are preparing to carry their ma? chinery Into factories In the old cotton dis? tricts. They will save freight on the raw ma? terial, they will get fresher and cheaper labor, and they will find unrivalled natural agencies. With Improved and reinvigorated fields, and with a home market for cotton and labor, the South can get along very well, without much politics. _ _ New Books. 1. A DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. By Joseph E. Worcester, LL. D. 2. A COMPREHENSIVE DICTIONARY OF THB ENG? LISH LANGUAGE. By Joseph E. Worcester, LL. D. 3. A PRIMARY DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. By Joseph E. Worcester, LL. D. Boston : Brewer & Tlleston. New York : J. W. Schermerborn & Co. 1871. We have received from Mr. George F. Phelps, the A trent of Messrs. Schermerborn A Co., of New York, copies ol the above-named works. The first In the list is the new edition ol Worcester's quarto dictionary, which has been prepared with great care, and deserves the high praises which it has everywhere re? ceived. As well as we can judge, lt is both accurate and complete. The Introductory re? marks are lucid, and, upon disputed points, present tbe opinions ol the mott eminent philologists. We find the definitions clear, impartial, concise, and well sustained by au? thority. The latest terms In science and art are described, and abundant notes give the student valuable and interesting Information on various subjects of Importance. Vocabula? ries are furnished o? geographical and proper names, ancient and modern, and there ls a full collection of phrases from foreign lan? guages, as well as a key to tbe pronunciation of classical and scripture proper names, and a list ol abbreviations used In writing and printing. - 2. The second work on the Hst is a combi? nation of the Comprehensive Dictionary of 1830, and the Pronouncing Explanatory and Synonymous Dictionary of 1855. A large number of words have been added, and in its present form lt is admirably adapted for use in high schools, ia families and in the count? ing-room. 3. The I hird work on the list ls a Email volume of 388 pages, known as the Primary Dictionary. Technical terms and words which ire bbsolete, provincial .or without authority ?re omitted, ana also many compound and derivative word?. It ls simple ia arrange ment.and easy of comprehension, and makes in excellent school manual, and, like tne luarto and Comprehensive dictionaries, it ls illustrated. We have only glanced at the main points of he three dictionaries, and return io the big luarto Worcester, with Its 101,000 words, for he purpose of showing that lt has qualities ?ven more important than its careful arrange? ment, its thoroughness, and its admirable typography. The popular tendency in America is towards slang, and towards the formation Df bastard words which brutalize the lan? guage and grate Intolerably on the uncultiva? ted ear. Preaching and newspaper writing ?viii not correct the growing evil. They may prevent its Increase, but they do not effect a radical cure, which can only be secured by llflusing a knowledge of the origin, struc :ure and laws of our mother tongue. The in? troductory essay in the qua: to dictionary may ie taken as authority upon these subjects. Or. Worcester understood his work, and, of iouree, avoids the orthographical barbarisms n which Dr. Webster took delight. It is true hat, in the later editions cf Webster, many jhanges for (be better have taken place. The kLeperd" in 1806 ls "Leopard" in 1838, and we ?do not read now that "lt haz been Bald that 'coquells often loon their reputation, while .they retain their virile;" but In no sense are ve willing to accept even the last edition of Webster as a safe guide. Worcester, on the ither hand, may be trusted. And what we have laid of orthography applies to pronunciation. ?Ve do not, in all things, agree with Worcester; )ut In Webster we have no confidence what iver. The remaining objection to the mod? ern Webb ter is that Us dell ail lons of political ivords and terms are frequently sectional and injust, and convey to the reader a wholly ivrong Idea. We pointed out the other day he changes made In Webster In the definition )f such words as constitution, compact, na ,lon, congress and republic. All these words lave been defined by the present editor of Webster's Dictionary so as to furnish argu? ments against the democratic view of our in? stitutions, and against the views of Dr. Noah Webster himself, whose definitions were ac? cepted as correct. Indeed, Dr. Porter's edi-" Jon of Webster's dictionary ls no longer Web? ster at all. In marked contrast to it is tue juarto Worcester, which ls colorless in its de Initions, ls to be preferred to any other imerican dictionary, and ls the equal ol my dictionary now published. We warmly commend the several edlllons )f Worcester's Dictionary to the favor of the public. tjosteitcr's Cillers. ~?&> ATMCI?PHI?M Spring sun calls up something besides the Howers ind grasses.
