Tho Now York Tribune, whichls strangely
Inconsistent in its philanthropy rnder dii-
farent circumstances, hacks up BISMARCK IN
h;s demand for the fortified towns of Metz
and strasbourg, and considers the demand
for them. instead Of Alsace and Lorraine,
as a liberal reduction Of the terms. We
cannot see any nberality in it. It would he
more reasonable to demand the whole Of
the two provinces. But excluding them
from the terms Of peace, the demand Of the
two towns is laying the foundations Of n
permanent hostility instead of establishing
peace. If BISMARCK desires to make
France subject of the King Of Prussia his
plan is good. 1t could hardly be made
stronger if he were to demand the fortifca-
tons around Paris. But if France is thus
to he held powerless. what will hold Prus-
sial That is question quite interesting
TO the other Powers. 1t Is the old question
relating to The stakeholder over again.

"actly But who will hold Mr.. BRowN"
This demand of BISMARCK is not indica-

he has won so much fame. The disman-
Ting of the forts Of Metz and Strasbourg
would disable them from menacing Prussia,
while the Prulssian forts on the Rhine would
still briStle at France, and give Prussia the
advantage in war. 1t Is demanding more
than security for Prussia when the demand
goes beyond this. 1t would be indeed
moderation of BIsMARok's proposition to
require the whole of Alsace and Lorraine
as the basis Of peace. The demand for the
two fortified towns only is an aggravation of
the humiliation Of France, and its conces-
sion would infet lasting insult upon her
spirit that would keep her hate of Prussia
ut blood-heat and her eager eyes ever on the
lookout for the opportunity for retaliation.

THE Loss OF THE VARUNA.-The loss OF the
steamer Varuna has created in the Southern
States painful excitement, only surpassed by
that caused by the recent dreadsul disaster Ill
the capitol at Richmond. In Texas particular
ly the calamity comes home with force. Hosts
of the victims by the accident were residents OF
State. The Galveston papers, which come to
us in mourning, contain elaborate biographical
accounts of many leading citizens of that place
yhc were lost on the ill-fated vessel. In 1886
the Nautilus was lost, and by that disaster Gal
weston suffered greatly but the Varuna counted
in its fatal passenger list created number OF
prominent business men.
Many incidents are related. One gentleman
of Galveston has lost his wife and four children
another was nephew of Kossuth another
was returning home after trip to Europe for
his health; another had been in New York to
procure the decorations of a new church in
which he was interested. Indeed, it is worthy
of note that almost all of those lost were prom
inent not only in their business relations and
in the commercial Improvements of the city OF
Galveston and the State generally, but were
also leading men in the Methodist, the Eplsco-
pal and Roman Catholic Churches.
Immediately on the receipt of the news
meeting of citizens was called in the hall OF the
Chamber of Commerce to take measures for the
observance of day of mourning. general
religious service was decided upon, and all
places of business in the city agreed to close on
the day selected

CHESTER WHITEs.-We have once before
called attention to this excellent breed of hogs.
We do so again because an experience OF two
years in raising them has confirmed our first
Impressions as to their superiority over any
breed, which has ever been introduced into this
section, and we desire as many farmers as pos
sible to procure the stock.
They do not grow as large as some other
breeds, though with good feeding and attention
they make very large hogs The SOW we i'm,
ported two years ago, at three months old, will
weigh now near 600 pounds. Tie boar was
stolen, year ago, and would have weighed at
that time about 400 pounds. We know sever
al half-breeds Is months old from the poorest
scrub sows in the County, which will weigh
from 300 to 400 pounds.
They are as industrious feeders, and as near
ly self-sustaining as the longest nosed acorn
hunting, root exterminating, land sharks of the
country.
With the same feeding, be it little or much,
they will furnish twice as much meat as the
best of our native breeds.
We have known but one of the stock to have
the mango, which was easily curcd-but one
to die and but one which was not healthy and
thrifty, out of near one hundred thorough and
half-breeds we have noticed. If there is any
objection to them we have failed to discover it.
We are sure that thousands of bushels of corn
would be annually saved to the County, if our
ugly, Unsuitable sharp backs were supplanted by
this beautiful and thrifty breed.-Carolina

DETECTING MURDER WITH A Micro

DETECTING MURDER WITH A Micro
sCoPE.-The Field -Van6erpool murder case in
Michigan, now on its second trial, is one OF
the most remarkable cases in the criminal his
tory of that State Herbert Field was ma
tive of Lewiston, Me-, and twenty-one years of
age at the time of his death. He had led a
rowing life, having beer sailor and United
States marine, and having escaped two most
perilous shipwrecks one of which was of a
Russian bark near Riga. He then passed
through commercial college at Auburn, Me-,
and formed the acquaintance of Miss Hill, OF
Lewiston, who offered to educate him, and
when his health began to fail from the con-
finement of study, moved with him to Manis-
tee, Michigan, where they lived together as
nephew and aunt, though in no way related.
He there met Vanderpool, and formed l. with VIII
him banking firm, investing about $1,000,
which was furnished him by Miss Hill. Van
derpool originated in Central New York, bore
a good character, and has young wife. He
put 81, 500 into the firm. In September, 1869,
Field wished to withdraw his funds and dis
solve partnership, which was finally agreed to,
in spite of Vanderpoors reluctance. On Sat
urday night they went into the bank together,
and twelve days after Fields body was found
in the lake, several miles north of Manistee,
having been towed away by all under-current
The theory is that vanderpool murdered him
on Sunday forenoon in the bank and afterwards
deposited the body in the lake. Stains upon
the floor of the bank and carpeting have been
analyzed, and the microscope reveals, with
startling certainty, the exact nature of the
blood corpuscles, that they must have belonged
to human being, and one of the age of Field.
The character of this evidence is one of the
features of the trial. all effort to invaidate the
testimony of the chemist having failed. The
strong point of the defence is that Field was
seen alive on Sunday afternoon, and if that is
settled Vanderpool could not have been the
murderer. Thus the mass of evidence is en-
tirely circumstantial, and only the most careful
sitting and balancing will justify verdict Of
guilty or clear the prisoner in the public mind.
This is his second trial BY the first he was
found guilty, but the feeling against him was
so strong that it was thought no more than
fair to grant him new trial in different part
of the State.

BANoUETr1Na THE BR1r1sH-AN KNEcDorE

BANoUET1Na THE BR1TIsH-AN ANEcDoTE
OF MAGRUDER.-General John B. Magruderr,
the hero of Big Bethel. was once the acknowl-
edged beau and gallant of the United States
army. Extremely handsome in person, good
talker, with the most fascinating manners and
a profound contempt for money, Of which ne
was most lavish, it is not surprising that he
won the soubriquet of prince" Throughout
the army he was called "Prince Johny" and
his confreres were proud of his accomplish
ments and aped his manners. On one occa,
sion, when Magruder's regiment was stationed
near the Canada border, the officers were invl-
ted by the officers of British command on
the Canada side to dine with them. The lnvl-
tation was accepted, of course, and most
sumptuous repast partaken OF With the ut-
most gusto and conviviality.
The Americans returned to their quarters
with exalted ideas of their British friends.
who, they learned, Jared sumptuously every
day. Magruder for time seemed somewhat
detected and lost in thought. At length a
bright idea struck him, and he Immediately
proposed to his fellow-oticers that they should
give an entertainment which would entirely
eclipse that which they had just attended. His
comrades thought the idea good one, but, re-
membering the collapsed condition of their
purses, thought it slightly impracticable.
"Not at ALL" replied the Prince; "let us all
subscribe two months pay, draw on our friends
for all they can advance us, and give our Bri-
tish cousins such feast as has not been wit
messed since the days of Epicurus." The idea
took and was promptly acted on. A silver SER
vice was ordered from New York, trained wal
tiers were procured and dressed in the most ap-
proved style, viands and fruits the most lus-
cious and rare were bought and every arrange
ment made that could possibly add to the eclat
of the occasion.
Everything being in readiness the British
officers were invited over formally to partake
of repast. The feast was all that even the
prncely soul of Magruder could have wished,
and the British officers were perfectly amazed
at the lavish expenditure evinced by their
American friends, and were at loss to ac-
count for it.
The dinner over, one of the Englishmen, un-
able longer to repress his establishment, OBJ
served to Magruder that the United States
must pay her officers very we'll, if he might
Judge from the feast before him. "Oh, Sill"
replied Magruder in his most lordly style, Eve
do not depend upon our pay, being all gentle
men of large means. The fact is, we present
our pay every month to our valets."
The Englshmen never discovered the joke !;
but it was observed that the American officers
looked singularly seedy for some time after

1t is an exploit of which there is no paral-
lei in the history of war that an invading ar
my, in hostile country, has constructed and
set in motion railroad from twenty-five to
thirty miles in length. When the fortress of
Metz interrupted railway communication from
Saarbruck to Strasbourg and Paris, Gen. Moltke
directed the construction of line from Metz
to unite the Metz and Saarbruck with the Metz
and Paris line. Upwards of 5000 miners from
Saarbruck colleries were set to work amidst the
thunder of cannon, and in spite of the very diff
fcult country which it intersected the railroad
was completed and opened for transit within
four weeks.
