How TO MAKE Hodn ArrRAor1vEh
Don't have your stairs without banisters,
at tho risk Of breaking your children's
heoks. Don't have wooden ceilings, that
require cord of lightwood to illuminate
the room. Don't have windows without
glass, 30 that whenever it rains you must
shut out the light of Heaven. Don't
have sashes without blinds, so that the
summer sun will dazzle your eyes, warp
your furniture and fade your carpet.
But order all the necessary materials for
finishing your house in comfortable stylo
from L. 2. TcA1E, Charleston, S. c., the
largest manufacturer of such things in
the Southern States.

ALABAMA CLAIMs.-We are informed
that the most persistent and nnyielding
of the private citizens who have claims
rs. the British Government are DIR. J. c..
Aver N Co., of Lowell. Mass, the manu-
factnrers Of medicines. They will con-
sent to nothing less than that their de-
mand for medicines destroyed by the
British pirates shnll be paid in gold and
in dollars to the last cent. They are
emboldcned by the fact that the destruc-
ton of their goods by the English in
China and elsewhere flor where are not
that troublesome nation tramplipg upon
somcbody? have hitherto been paid in
full, and they now say that they shall be.
They however propose this compromise:
Give us Canada. and We will call it even,
because we can then send our remedies
there without duty. Washington Nems.

ANOTHER VIcT1M. Baltimore, being
overwhelmingly Democratic, is threat
ened with the military on Tuesday next,
election day. The New York Express,
alluding to the coercion business gene
rally, says:
1.-The city which called forth the Star
Spangled Banner during the threatened
bombardment by British ships and Bri-
tisll invaders, ought not to be thus in
suited; nor ought the city of New York,
which once did its best to keep out a
hired foreign soldiery, and which has re-
joiced every November over its evacua-
tion from foreign mercenary troops,
quartered upon the people in time Of
peace. The Federal authorities, by their
usurpations and innovations, we regret
to say, are doing their very best to de-
stroy that love and respect which good
citizens would like to have for Il parental
Government"

MARSHAL BAzA1SE. doubts about
the character of the capitulation of Metz
are now dispersed. The garrison and
the anna abitants SO suffered for want of
food that q surrender was imperatiynlv
demanded by humanity and by tho rules
and traditions of war between civilized
nations. AS far, therefore, rs the simple
act of surrender is concerned. Bazaine
stands free from any reproach of treason
or collusion with the Prussian army.
He could not act differently. It is an
extremely painful thought that man
who had by various sallies from the CITY
shown more bravery and good general
ship than any other French commander.
should now be accused Of treason. when
he surrendered to terrible, but una
voldable, fatality. Those who thus
wantonly accuse the brave officer happi-
ly cannot tarnish the famo of a man who
might have done immense service to his
country had he from the start been free
in his actions.

a 'elsion Oh Wnat is called the Empe-
ror Napoleon's pamphlet on the cam
palgn OF 1870, appeared few days ago
IN London paper. The Imperial plan
OF campaign was to mass $50, 900 men at
Metz, 100000 at Strasburg, and $4,000
at Chalons, and to cross the Rhine near
Haguenau with large force so as to
divide Germany, win the first great
battle, and secure the alliance of Austria
and Italy in imposing neutrality on the
South German States. The defective
military system and delay in bringing up
men and material frustrated the plan,
and the Germans, having some time to
bring their forces forward, outnumbered
the French, and put them on the defen-
sive. new plan was then made neces.
sary, involving n retreat on Chalons
This the Regency opposed as discourag-
ing to the public. He yielded his con
victions, and adopted McMahon's plan
OF relieving Metz, which ended in catas-
trophc. The author analyses the battle
OF Sedan and the causes of tho German
successes, and points ont many defects
in the French army. There can lie but
one opinion about Napoleon's pamphlet
explanation of his career, before and
after the fact of its Inauguration in con
nection with the Franco -Prussian war.
AS the New York Times says, ms an
apology, it is lame; as criticism, it has
been forestalled, and as bid for re-
newed confidence, it cannot fail to he
utterly powerless. It only adds another
to the many proofs lately given, that the
Emperor's days as vigorous admins
traitor are over, that the name he bore
has lost its charm, and that the ideas he
represented have ceasel to be synony-
nous with patriotic devotion and national
strength. Having lost everything, and
plunged his country into abject misery,
he now insists in showing France and
the world not how his disastrous cam.
paign of 1870 may be retrieved, but how
the desperate game was lost. To this
end, he has published pamphlet contain
ing not word that is new to our read
ers, and the explanations are interesting
only in SO far as they contradict the
fiamboyant proclamations issued by the
fallen Emperor on the eve of embarking
IN his last rash campaign.

Leo. The oorrespondent'of Che CHARLES:
ton Courier, writes as follows of the mis-
sion of Senator Robertson to Washing
ton: ga
Senator Robertson, of South Carolina,
has been here recently. The object 81
his visit was to see the President In re-
gard to force Of United States troops
remaining in South Carolina. Senator
Robertson asked the President not to re-
move the Federal troops now in the
State, or if those were removed, to send
others in their place. The Senator said
he recommended this in the interest of
peace and harmony. That both parties
III the State would be pleased with the
presence of the Federal troops; that
small dctachments stationed at different
court-houses would restrain any tenden-
cy to collision; that it was not all advi-
sable to send colored troops organized in
the State to points whero irritation ex-
listed, as it might be attended with bad
consequences. Senator Robertson said
he spoke in the interest of both parties,
and in the interest of peace, inasmuch
as he anxiously desired to allay all ami
mos'tles and promote general good will.
The President responded favorably to
the Senator's appeals, and promptly en-
gagged not to remove the troops now in
the State, or if he did, replace them
with others.

THIRTY CENTURIES OLD.-The oldest
relic of humanity extant is the skeleton
OF the earliest Pharaoh, encased in it's
original burial robes, and wonderfully
perfect, considering its age, which was
deposited eighteen or twenty months

archaeological treasures. The lid of the
coffin was inscribed with the name of its
occupant, Pharaoh Mykesimus, who sue.

fore Christ.

BOHEMIA AND IRELAND.

From the London Saturday Revteto.
Great Britain is not the only country in
Europe with an Ireland. Every race except
the Italian has made the effort to assimiate
some population different from itself under
more or less favorable conditions, and every
race except, indeed, the French, has failed
The exception is no doubt an extremely
noteworthy one. The Frenchman, who can
not colonize, who never sympathizes with
another race, and who has never been able to
conciliate dependent peoples, can and does
absorb men of many races, languages, and
creeds so perfectly that in a generation their
descendants talk and act as ardent French
men. There has not, since the Revolution,
been serious insurrection in France based
on desire for independence, and Napoleon
can rely on a Strasburgher or Savoyard as
fully as on Partisan or Norman. The Dane,
however, with every advantage of title, of
position, and of race, failed utterly to reconcile
the Holsteiners; Prussia has rather superse led
than conciliated the Poles of Posen; Russia
has been defed by Poles when defiance was
so hopeless as to resemble lunacy; and Aus
tria in vain endeavors to conciliate or even
to negotiate with races who have obeyed her
implicitly for centuries. The speech deli
-vered by the Kaiser TO the Reichsrath is full
of half concealed fear lest the populations of
the German side of the Leitha should ask
terms inconsistent with the existence of the
constitutional empire, and it is thoroughly
understood that these fears are not the pro
duct of his own imagination. Everybody in
Austria is demanding repeal at once The
Hungarians have actually got it, and might,
one would think, be content but they are
carrying nationality to lengths which make
even alliance an almost impossible arrange
ment. They are bound to assist the empire
in all wars, and they have not violated
the obligation, but their assistance in
Dalmatia is neither liberal nor cor
dial They say Dalmatia is theirs,
which may or may not be right, and
they do not want to reconquer ii except foi
themselves, which must be wrong on any
view of their imperial obligations. Tho atti
tude of the Bohemians, or rather of the
Czech population of Bohemia, is, however,
the most extraordinary. From the geographi
