The Little Kingdom that Ma
poleon Hungers for.

The kingdom of Belgium con-
tains little more than 1000
square miles, upon each Of which
dwell an average Of 433 persons,
making it the most densely pop
ulated country in Europe. Its
army numbers about $4,000 men,
and half a dozen vessels comprise
its navy. The prevailing religion
is the Roman Catholic, and the
French language is generally spo-
ken. After a long subsection to
Spain and Austria, and q forced
subjection to France under the
first Napoleon, Belgium was uni
ted to Holland in 1915. The con-
nection was very unpleasant, how
ever, and in 1880 the BeIgians re-
voltcd. Three years latter their
Independence was guaranteed, and
u king furnished them in the per-
son Of Leopold, Of Saxe-Coburg,
the bereaved husband OF the Prin-
cess Charlotte, Of England. He
was a sagacious monarch, and,
though q Protestant, was popular
among his Catholic subjects. lie
married y daughter Of Louis Phil
lipc, OF France, aed died about FIVE
years ago, leaving his eldest son
King in his stead. His daughter
is the unhappy widow of Maximi-
liam, Of Austria-NapoIeon's pup
pet in the invasion Of Mexico.
The late Hing Leopold was the
tavoritc uncle Of Queen Victoria,
and hence family sympathies com
bine with political necessities in
making Great Britain exceedingly
SoIicitous for the welfare of Bel
GUM. Should Napoleon pounce
on the Kingdom, either he or Prus-
sia would swallow mp Holland, and
the freedom Of England in the
Northern seas be seriously menaced.
If France is desirous Of a second
Waterloo, she can seek it in no
place more acceptable to her, oppo-
nents than on the soil where the
first was fought.

Living Beyond their Meanc5 :

Bulwer says that poyertyis only
an idea, nine cases out of. ten
Some men with ten thousand dol
lars q year suffer more for the
want Of means than others with
three hundred. The reason is, the
richer man has artificial wants.
His income is ten thousand and hs
suffers enough for being dunned
for unpaid debts to kill sensitive
man. A man who earns a dollar
day and does not run in debt,.is
the happier of the two. Very few
people who have never been rich
will believe this; bnt it is true.
There are thousands and thous-
ands with princely, incomes who
never know moments peace, be-
cause they live above their means
There is really more happiness i'm
tho world amongthe working peo:
pie than among those who are can--
ed rich. -
This living beyond ones means,
is the cause Of more demoraliza-
ton and woe in the human family
than any other of those indiscre-
tions in which it seems man is in
clined to indulge. Especially tits
so in the cities Of the world where
vicious temptations in so many
varied forms abound. Bulwcr,,
more than any othcr Of the popu-
lar modern writer's, seems to un:'
derstand what poverty really is
He is poor who lives beyond his
means, while he who lives within
them is not. And this will apply
to the millionaire as we'll as to
him who has to labor for his daily
bread.

The French at Nancy-"Be-

scriptioa Of French camp-life: 1t

There is but little excitement in
the camp. The troops have made

vinced themselves that they will

garments for the sake Ct getting
the power into their own hands.
We have in the Republican party
in South Carolina honest, intelli-
gent, capable and patriotic men,
both white and co!orcd, beth
Northern and Southern born. We
.have in our Legislature a few who
have stood out boldly and fearless
ly in defence of the interests and
honor Of tie State; and against
the tide Of corruption by which
they were surrounded. We have
even in our State Govern mcnt two
or three such men, finely educated,
able and honest, who would orna-
ment any Government. These
men have had to suffer with the
worst members of their party for
the defence of principles which
our former opponents now seem
perfectly ready to admit. They
have been thoroughly tried and
found true on all occasions. If the
"Citizens' Party" wish US to be-
lieve it is acting in good faith,
such men must not be neglected,
but have prominent part in the
new movement. Let us have no
odious distinctions on account Of
place Of birth or colo" Of the skin.
We want Northern men, Northern
capital and Northern energy to
come into the country, to assist IN
developing its resources. il is the
interest Of all who desire quiet and
the prosperity Of the State, that
the Two races should live together
tremendously; and it is as mani
testify the interest Of the coIored
as Of the white people, that the
State should have an economical
government. and honest capable
men to administer it. If they can
be convinced that their rights will
be respected by the "Citizens'
party" all who have acquired q
little intelligence, OF who arc al
ready or hope 10 become property
owners, would undoubtedly sup
port such a movement. But if
they see men of known Intelligence
and integrity Of character rejected
by this new party, merely because
they had advocated the same prin~
ciples when it was unpopular to
do so, they will very na,urslly
suspect that the whole movement
is Intended to get the power out
Of their hands: and they vii! con
soqaently reject it.
fthcn the "an.i-Radic;i' press
and the "Citizcus' Party" are sin
cere in their professions they
should not i2ii to consult honest
and capable Republicans about the
organization Of this new party,
and the candidates who are to be
put forward for prominent and
responsible positions. In the nomi-
nations to The Legislature the col
ored people should be we'll repre-
sented whenever men Of their
can be found with q rea-
sopable amount Of intelligence and
honesty.
In this way the confidence Of
the best class Of colored people
may be gained, and an honest
economical Government be re-
stored to our State. Such a "Citi-
zens' Party" I, as a Republican,
immovable in my attachment to |
the great principles Of that party,
could heartily support.
Very truly your friend,
