WINNSBOR0, S. 0. Saturday, January 12, ; 1878. R. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Associate Editor. Cor,. ALFritED RrTT, who was colonel of the First Regiment of Regulars during the war, has been appointed chief of police of Charles ton.

WAs "FLOUINE," a pretty little poem recently appearing in the Chronicle and Constit ti lonalist, so nam11od because it was one of the products of "Fluorspar"? or wias it to somebody's else daughtor. We pauso for a reply. TinF CONSOLIDATION Act, it is claim' od, has been gonorally acquioscod in as a final settlemont, )oth by the State an( the bondliolders. What about thoso $2,000,000 of bonds that are still out in the cold ? Their owners have not "acquiescod" worth a cent. Timl. NEW Yoni ALDERMEN have ro solved by a vote of 13 to 7 that Tweed ought to be roloased from jail, as all his confederates are now at la: go. On this principlo there ought to be a genoral jail delivery, as ninety-nino guilty persons always oscapo punishment for every one that is caught. WmILE PATTrsoN, should be brought to a spoody reckoning, there is mnuch force in the argumient that h silould not be singlod out for punischent, while others equally guilty enjoy immunity. A clean swoop should be mado of all the leaders, whether they supported Butler or Hampton or anybody else. The New Year in Europe. The outlook in Europe for the Now Year is more peaceful. Tur key has had enough of war, and lier generals have been notifled to seek an armistico. She will treat directly 4 with Russia. Although the Czar (lees not brook any intervention from foreign powers, Russia wvill respoect the limit in her dlomanid necessary to preserve the balance of p)owei of Europe. The Servians, II who r'fused to join Russia until Tuirkey was virtually conquered, .have receivedl a deservedly severe thrashing at the hands of the efTete Moslem. The Pope still lives, despite his di [*precarious situation and his groat age. His pontificate has been of longor duration than any other since the days of St. Peter. In the ovent of his death ho wvill most p)robably be succeeded by an Italian, as Cardinal Cullon, of Ireland, is said to be the only I) foreigner who stands any chance In uriuscontrast with thme pro longtio ofthe life of Pope Pius, come thetidings of the death of VitrEmanuel, King of Italy, aftr brefillness. No one dreaed hatthe spiritual head of jItaly( would live to see the dahof hrtemporal ruler. Victor N Emanuol as apparently in the fletvigor, being but fifty-seven years ofago. Heo was a member of the house of Savory, the herodi,. tary kings of Sa.rdinia, one of the petty ingdoms that recently dis tractedl Italy. At an early ago he developed ability of the highest order, distinguishing himself in 1841), in a wvar with Austria, es pecially in tho battle of Novara, on the evening after which he became king, on the' abdioation~ of his father. Vietor IEmanuel entered thme Orinstt war against Russia, and subsequently joined France in tI)e struggle with Austria, in 1856, gaining thereby the rich p)rovince of Milan. Shortly after this, the efforts of Garibaldi and'other revo aggrandizing spirit of Sardinia, ro sulted in the unification of Italy with Victor Emanuel as king. Ho joined Prussia in the Fitranco-Prus sian war, and receivod Vonico as his reward. A most determined strug glo for the mastery of Italy then onsued between Victor Emanuel and the Pope, who claimed temporal as well as occlesiastical authority. In 1870, Victor was completely victorious, romoving his capital to Rome, the Eternal City. His mis sion was thus accomplished. Re contly the Pope and himsolf have been on more friendly terms ; and before his doath Victor received extreme unction at the bands of the church. Tho deceased king was much beloved by the people. His charities and benefactions wero recently enumerated in an article published in this papor. As kings go, Victor Emanuel's private life was passably proper. Sevoral years sinco ho scandalized his family but gained the approbation of the church by marrying on his sick bel a countess who had been his mistress. Politically he was a sue coss. Under his reign Italy has becomo a respectable kingdom for the first time since the irruption of the Goths an1d Vandals. The now king, Humbert Ronier Charles Emanuel Joan 1atrio Fer dinand Eugene-called Humbert for short-is the socond child and oklest son of Victor Emanuel. Ho was born March 14, 1844, and is consequently not quite thirty-four years of ago. His life this far has been rather oventfil. The recent muccess of the ]Re)ubl) licans in France appears to havo knockod Bonpartist prospects higher than a kito. MacMalhon, who has been describo1 by his enomies as resemlbling George III., of England, without the lattor's lucid intervals, has accepted the situation, and acquiesees in the will of the majority. Ex-Queen Isabella, of Spain, has been pronounced insano by the Spanish Ministry for having dared to visit Don Carlos, the Spanish pretender, because she was piqued by the marriago of her son, the king of Spain, to the Duchess Montpousior. She has belen for bidden to enter Spanish territory. The rest of Europe secms to be jogging along slowly. Bismarck is again at the helm in Germany, and Kaiser *Wilhelm still exercises parental control over the sons of the Faderland. Mr. Gilbert, of Greeonvillc, Tenn., sarcastically offers live cents for the return of huis eloping wife. He must feel half-dimentod over heor departure. It cast a gloom over an entire church fair the other night when the ministor's son walked upl to the grab bag and prizo cake table anid demanded that the game be ex, plained to him before he bought his chips. A story is told of a shrewish Scotch woman wvho tried to wvean her husband from the public house by employing her brother to act the part of a ghost and frighten John on his way home. 'Who are you ?' said the gudeman, as the appari tion rose up before him from be hind a bush. 'I am auldi Nick,' was the reply. 'Come awa,' man' said John, nothing daunted ; 'gio's a shake of your hand, hTm married to a sister of yours.' WrAT THE MIcRoseoPE REvEALs. Mold is a forest of beautiful trees, with the branches, leaves and fruit. Butterflies are fully feathered. Hairs are hollow tubes. The surface of our bodies is covered with scales like a fish ; a single grain of sand wvould cover one hundred and fifty of these scales, and yet a seale covers five hundred pores. Thog these narrow openin gs the peorsp)irati on forces itself like wvater through a sieve. Each drop of stagnant water contains a world of living creatures, swimming with as much liberty as whales in the sea. Each leaf has a colony of insects grazing it,' like a cow in a meadow. --JA.xchanlge. 14 is now an acknowledged fact that CONSUMPTION CAN BEK CURED. It dbas been cured in a very great number of cases (some of ,them apparentlg desperate ones) by Sohenek's P11% moioi Syrup alone, and in others by the same medicine in connection with Bohonck's.Soa Weod Tonic arnd' Mandrako Pilh, one or both accord ing to the requirements of the case. The old supposition that "Con, sutmption is incurablo," for many years deterred Physicians from at tompting to find a romedy for that disonso, and patients a1lictod With it reconciled themsolves to dpath withont an offort being mado to save them from a doom which was con sidered inevitable. Dr. Seionck himself was supposed at one time to be at the very gato of donth, his physicians having pro nouncod his caso hopeless and abandoned him to his fate : ho was cuitE) by the aforosaid medicines, and aftorward ijoyed unintorrupt od good health for more than forty years. Thousands of people have used Dr. Schenck's proparations with the same remarkIblo success. Schoeck's Almanac, containing a borough freati.c cn Consumption, Liver Complaint, Dispepsia, &c., can bo had gratis of any druggist, or of J. H. Schonok & Son, Philadelplia. Full diroections for the Tiso of Schenek's medicinos accompany each package.
