The CALUMSY OF OUR EARLY PoLlrIcs.
A dastardly weapon early employed
in our Presidential contests was cslum-
ny; but the wounds which it inflicted
were never mortal. We may assert that
SANDER has never seriously harmed a
a public man, though it has frequently
aided one. Hamilton, accused of pecu-
~lation, could only refute the charge BY
coufessiug himself an adulterer; but
neither the lie nor the truth lessened
his influence as a politician, nor indeed
lowered his character as a man; for
those who lamented his immortality,
honored its frank acknowledgment.
jefferson was denounced as an atheist,
and it was said that his plantation
swarmed with the yellow-faced proofs
Of his RIGHTEOUSNESS. These accusa-
tons gained for him more votes than
they lost. The virtuous John Adams
was accused of importing mistresses
from England, but no one regarded the
ridiculous tale. Such ealumnies as
these had ouepernicious effect: they pre-.
vented w%ell-founded charges from being
believed. Aaron Burr, for example,
vas neither a moral nor an honest man;
but in the midst Of such a torrent Of
grouudless ISLANDERS, who could believe
that the candidate for the Viee-Presi-
dency was proAigate or debauched? So
in later times, when r representa-
tons Of the violence Of Andrew Jackson
were given to the public, people disbe.
lieved them as a matter Of course

SIAN CHAMPAGSE.-A Company for
initiating imported champagne has for a
long time been in successful operation
near South Beach, San Francisco. Eu-
gene Cliquot and Charles Heidsick's
wines have been SO closely initiated BY
Califoruis wine, charged with carbonic
acid gas, that those not experts have
been unable to tell the difference. The
labels were fac SMILES Of the genuine,
and the packages were the same as the
imported. A trap was set, the parties
caught, some weeks since. The trial
took place in the Police Court. Judge
RiI sentenced Atomic Finkil to pay q fine
OF $500, or 60 to Jail $50 days, and
Gassave Valentine, 500, or so days in
Jail. We are informed, by a party who
Knows, thatthere are half a dozen places
IN that city where all kinds Of cham.
payne are fabricated.

JAMES RUSSELL LowELL's house in
Cambridge is upwards of a century old.
It was used as a hospital by the Ameri-
a army at the siege of Boston. The
grounds embrace thirty or forty acres,
out on the edge of the town, and are
mostly sin grass" as the farmers say
that is, he cultivates little else than
hay. The house is q square, old-fash-
toned three-story frame, with q fat
roof, and painted yellow. You enter
by a broad ball with a low ceiling, from
which ascends a wide stairway with
short steps. The parlor is on the right
hand side as you 60 in; on the other
side Is the reception room, and back Of
that the poets study. If d gentleman
friend, Lowell will greet you with the
remark: 81 a give you a pipe or a
cigar, whichever you prefer" For
himself, Lowell generally prefers a
pipe. he is a great smoker, and his
m%eerchaum "colors beautifully" This
place, which is worth probably $50, 900,
was Lowell's birthplace, and where be
has all his life resided, though be has
travelled considerably in foreign lands.
"why don't you write more 2" a friend
asked him on n occasion. aim too
said Lowell; II don't care
enough for fame-I wish I cared more"

CoUSr BisNARK has made another
mastery move on tho political chess
board Of Europe. In a conference held
at Berlin, between him and the lead
ing statesmen of the South German
States Of Bavaria, Baden, Wurtenburg,
and Hesss Darmstadt, an arrangement,
has been arrived at, according to which
the South German States will send rep
resentatives TO the North German Par
Lament in order % have a voice and
vote in all commercial questions aris-
ing out Of the renewed Z~ollverein trea-
ties, and the Governments, to the same
end, will send Commissioners to the
Federal Council. OF course, the South
ern German States will o get tired
Of this situation, and demand a COM
plete union with Northern Germany.
The arrangement was concluded just
previous to the departure Of Bismark
and King William-for Paris, and we do
not wonder at the cable dispatch which
asserts that the relations between
France and Prussia are not cordial. 1t
hardly needed a dispatch to announce
the fact.
