THs MASTERY SERIES; MANUAL FOR LEARNING
SpINIsH. By Thomas Prendergast. New
York: D. Appleton g. Co. Charleston: John
RUSSELL
This is manual upon new system, or
rather upon modification of the old. Its
plain and simple in its plan or method, and is
evidently well digested. Thoroughness is pro-
perly set down as the essence Of the method,
and its advantages are explained in COM
nonsense fashion which ls very attractive.
THE NATIONAL SPEAKER. Being Selections to
Aid the Student in acquiring simple, nat
ural, busness-lke style Of speaking. By
Joseph Alden, D. D., President Of the New
York State Normal School, with a prefa-
tory note, by James McCosh, D. D., Presi-
dent of the College OF New Jersey. New
York: D. Appleton & Co. Charleston: Jehn
Russell.
The author says in his introduction that the
object of his volume is to furnish exercises ''in
sssimple, natural, business-like speaking" and
with this view he deprecates the ''spread-
s'eagleism" of American oratory, no less than
the afTectation which marks the stage, and,
too often, the pulpit. The hints given by DR..
Alden are valuable and practical, and the Sc
lections which he advises to be committed to
memory are chosen with care and taste. They
are taken from the works 'of Sydney Smith,
Bryant, Irving, Tbackeray, southey, Dickens,
Campbell, Hamilton, Webster, Bryan, jeffrey,
and others, and hence the National Speaker
may be proftably used as q reading book for
classes in rhetoric.

The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1870-12-22
schenck and lhe IIabama claims

The TribUne's Washington cores
pondent telegraphs that there are
strong reasons from an authentic
source for believing that an amicable
idjGstment of our differences with
England, in connection with the Ala
Uama claims, will not be delayed for
4 much longer period.
IL is believed that General Schenck
will, soon after his arrival in England
resume the negotiations now suspend
ed, and that they will be carried for
ward in firm and friendly manner,
and that the English government will
meet the question in a frank and fair
spirit. The temper of the British
people is thought TO be favorable at
this time for successful undertaking.
The following are believed 10 be the
points upon which negotiations will
Ue made: The United States as bas-
Is for the settlement will require: /.
That England shall pay the owners
for ships and property destroyed by
the Alabama, with interest on the
value of the same from the date of
[ destruction.
2. That England shall reimburse the
United States government for all the
expenses incurred by the United
States in consequence of the Alabama
and other cruisers.
3. That England shall make pub
lie recognition of the true principles
If neutrality on the basis of their set
clement.
It is thought that the United States
will not demand constructive DANA
ges in any event Other sources OF
information from thUse alluded to
ibOvp, substantially confirm this
statement of the subject.
General Schenck will make no ex-
tortionate demands. He is not to
threaten nOa-inteTcourse or the for
chile annexation of Canada, nor is he
TO demand a confession from Great
B'itaia that she has acted dishonors-
Jly toward the United States-a con-
ession that no proud nation would
make, unless conquered and reduced
10 eXtremities.
There is good authority for stating
that General Schenck is expected to
lemand nothing more than a prompt
and equitable settlement of our actual
money losses, and that there will be
no talk of damages for injured honor
IN the diplomatic negotiations which
he is to open and conduct. The rep
aratiOn which he will be instructed TO
ask, il is believed, will be willingly
accorded by the English government.

The Galaxy for 1871 promises even
greater attractions than heretofore.
One distinctive feature of The Galaxy
is the bright sharp way in which it is
edited. Every subject of popular in-
terest is at Once seized upon and writ
ten up by the most competent person.
The Galaxy has gathered around it.
self a staff Of the most popular writ
ers IN every department, and it is
clear that that every number is made
up with the same unity of purpose
and nice discernment of the pub lie
taste which characteriZes our most
successful daily and weekly papers.
It has been the custom for magazines
to furnish the public with the best
selection they could make from such
articles as were sent them for publi-
cation. The day for this has passed
and the editor of a first class maga-
zine has a very different duty to per-
form reading manuscript and culling
out the best. He must create. He
must map out the style of magazine
he wis..es to produce, and then seek
out the most competent persons to
prepare articles upon subjects on which
the public desire to read. This i'm
pOrtant change in the requirements
of magazine literature, the Galaxy
was the first to discern, if it did not
itself create the change.
Among the attractions for the COM
ing year, The Galaxy readers may
expect contributions from Porte Cray
on, Mrs. E lwards, Richard Grant
White, Justin Mccarthy, BIyard
Taylor Mark Twain, TX Marvel, Parhe
Godwin, Dr. J. c. Draper, Carl Ben
son, Laure d'Hauterive, Prof J. NJ.
Hart, ana Others, a programme GER
tainly full enough to make entertain
ment for all.

Who are Entitled to the Additional
Bounty.

We gave an article from the Toledo
Blade, last week, in reference to
bounties for a certain class of soldiers.
Here is another article from the same
paper on the subject:
Every soldier who enlisted for three
years and has only received 500 Gov
eminent bounty unless discharged for
promotion, every soldier discharged
for wounds, injuries or hernia, receiv-
ed while in the line Of duty.
The time for filing applications for
additional bounty under the act of
July, 1866, expires January 18th, 1871.
WHO ARE NOT ENTITLED To ANY
BOUNTY.
Soldiers discharged for disability
(other than caused by wounds, inju-
ries or hernia before they had served
tJCO gedrS. All such should make an
earnest personal effort with their
friends in Congress TO pass the eight
and one-third dollar bounty law,
which PASSED the House last Congress,
but was defeated in the Senate Of the

FOREIGN WAR.

VIENNA, Dec. 1s.-A conference re-
specting mediation was held BY the
representatives OF the neutral powers
at the Foreign Office on Tuesday last
All the EmbassadOrs were present.
J The basis proposed is as follows: ''rhe

ton OF LuXem bOuIg, TO acknowledge
/ William as Emperor Of Germany,
/ France TO pay ! l,2O0, ,O00, 900 francs, 70
raZe two frontier fOrtresses, eede the
District Of Alsace to Germany, and
acknowledge the German Emperor" "
Count IasbOurg said that France
would pay more money rather than
/ cede a mile Of territory.
/ BORDEAUX, Dec. l6.-The following
Z dispatch has been forwarded to the
/ Projects Of departments: The Duke
Of MeckIenbourg, on "wednesday, at
tackled the town Of Treteval, on the
road from Chateau Dan 10 VeDdOme,
which he occupied in strong force.
He re-tOOk the place yesterday. Hav-
ing united his troops with those OF
Prince Frederick Charles, they engag-
ed our forces in combat yesterday,
near Vendune. The battle lasted till
night. The enemy's losses are great.
News has been received that be-
tween the towns Of Briare and Glen
three battalions Of Prussians have
/ BEEN defeated BY the Mobiles.
Proofs Of the Prussian scheme FOR
/ the restoration Of the French empire
come from every quarter. That, Bis
marck says, is the only way the Wal
can end; that Republican France Will
fight forever; that the fall OF Paris can
produce no effect, and that the only
course is to make the terms with the
empire and 20 home, and leave the
French TO fight it out between them
selves.
The forces Of Gen. Faidherbe con-
time cooperate and some
Prussian attacks upon Gen Chanzy's
lines have been repulsed with loss to
the assailants-
LONDON, Dec. I5.-2.3OA. Mixing
William, Of Holland, has telegraphed
To the government of Luxembourg
that he will defend the treaty Of 1887,
and he also approves Of the acts Of the
government Of Luxembourg.
The substance and value Of the wal
news Of the week Is given in the fol-
lowing:
The dispatches Of Tuesday, up to noon
are mostly filed with contradictory
rumOrs and assertions fOuuded on
mere speculations. All that wears
the semblance of fact is that there is
maneuvering and occasional skirm-
ishing between the Germans and both
Chauzyis and Bourbaki's armies; that
the Germans occupy VendOme, 10
the northwest Of Blois, and have
made demonstrations un other places
n that direction; that Nuts, in east
ern France, between Dion and Beaun
has been captured by the Germans;
and that a report has been received OF
five French frigates having been
sighted in the Baltic of PIllau, in
eastern Prussia.
There is contradictory gossip as usu-
al about the commandment Of Paris
and the amount Of provisions I'm the
city, about the Luxembourg again,
and about the probable terms Of peace
but none of the stories are worthy
special notice.
