The FIFTY-FIFTH REPORT of the proceedings
of the American Antiquarian society, comes to
us very handsomely printed, and filled with
matters of great interest. The report of the
council, by Hon Richard rockingham, is an
elaborate document, in which the history and
influence Of municipal organizations were dis
cussed, and more especially the town and other
municipal organizations, in the United States
The report Of Mr.. Haven discusses American
antiquities, and gives summa OF the views
OF Brassaur de Bourbourg, concerning the Or.
igin aud antiquity OF the old civilization on this
continent. The somewhat similar views of Pro-
fessor Rlfnesque were stated 1t is well con-
sidered and very interesting paper Mr. Haven
presents a topic which demands more attention
than it has received. We hope it will be often
discussed in papers read to the Antiquarian So
ciety.
The JOURNAL OF SPECULATIVE PmLoso-
PLY, for October, completes the fourth volume

ested in the studies represented so ably by this
quarterly can not do better than subscribe
for it, In this age, when the enthusiasm for
physical science attempts to reduce Psychology

the supernatural, such publication as this

HEADQUARTERS ENOAMPMENT
CHARLES DRvRNs, Jr., Post n, Jan. 8, 1871.
Whereas, 1t has pleased A mighty God the Grand
Commander ofal to remove from our encampment
by death, Comrade Maj. Geo. II. Amidon,
Resolved, that we do sincerely sympathize with
his family in their deep affection, and we, his
comrades in arms feel, that, although our loss is
from our midst one who always did his duty to his
country in Its time Of peril and nobly sacrificed his
health and body and life on its altar
Resolved, that the members of this Post, as a
mark of respect for our deceased comrade, attend
his funeral.
Resolved that acopy of these resolutions be trans.

ROYALTY IN RETIREMENT.-The number of
monarchs out OF business, and sons who have
not been permitted to keep up the establish
ments of the fathers at the old stand, is Just
now more considerable in Europe than at any
time since 1913. An exchange paper runs over
the list: Prince Wasa of the original royalty of
Sweden, the Come de Chambord, the Comte de
Paris, Napoleon ILL.,, the poor old blind king of
Hanover, Bomba Of Naples, an eX-king of Por-
tugal 1.-THE son of Don Miguel the Duke of
Brunswick, the eXiled former rulers of LOmbar-
dy, Parma and Modena, and the royal family of
Spain, Isabella, Carlos and Alfonso To these
may be added the pope, so far as his temporal
sovereignty is concerned. Some OF these inter-
esting fugitivcs are living doubtless on the pro-
ceeds Of the crown jewels which they carried off
with them upon abdicaion or flight from their
royal capitals; fortunate thing for themselves;
since it is difficult to conjecture what they would
do for a support if thrown altogether upon their
own resources. Charles v, at Yuste, turned his
attention to clocks with such poor success that
it is clear he would have failed in the clock
business, and the example is certainly not en-
couraging. Bomba might do as a billiard
marker, and the poor old Hanoverian king in
his blindness might make a lively opposition to
Beppo as beggar on the Piazza di Spagna.
As for the late emperor Of the French, he should
enter into partnership with his guardian friend,
the Prince of Monaco, in the comparatively re-
spectacle business of rOuge-etnoir.-N. T. EUe.

A New Jersey paper makes the excellent sug-
gestion TO New York ladies, who receive calls on
New Years day, that, instead of making private
bar rooms of their paGlors, they should give to
each visitor ticket, redeemable at one of the
neighboring Gram shops in such stimulating
beverage as suits his fancy, but not to be honor.
ed until eleven o'clock in the evening. The
general acceptance of this innovation would re-
lieve the ladies of the humiiating necessity of
entertaining drunken guests, who are frequently
rude and insulting, to say nothing of the dam
age they do to furniture and knick-knacks, and
the young gentlemen whose acquaintance was
reasonably extensive would accumulate in their
rounds, tickets enough to solace themselves with
a tremendous debauch when the toisome civil.

Foreign Notes.


BORDEAUX via LONDON, JAM 5.-During the
battle which recently took place in the vicinity
Of Bapaume, the ground occupied by the hostile
armies was several times lost and retaken. The
French troops took six villages during the en-
gagement, storming and capturing every posi-
ton in which the Prussians endeavOred to es-
tablish themselves Slowly but irresiStibly they
were being driven back by the brilliant and i'm
petuous charges OF the French battalions. The
Prussians lost 300 troops in the engagements.
The decisive victory gained by the French troops
on tins occasion was mainly attributable to the
excellence of their artillery and the splendid
manner in which it was handled. Tie enemy
observed this, and several times during the
battle made determined charges with the view
OF etfecting a capture of the batteries and posi-
ton held by the enemy's artillerists but the
efforts proved futile Every attempt was met
by a tremendous raking cannonade, which so
1 hlnned their columns that they were forced
after several attempts, to abandon the project as
hopeless. Great excitement prevails at Bor-
deaux, where the details of the engagement
have Just been received. The people and troops
are wild with exultation over the success of the
French arms.
OTHER FIGHTING REPORTS.
LONDON, Jan. 5.-Gen. Monteuffel tclegraphs
from Amens on the 80 inst. that Gen, Ben
theim, with troops from the first army corps,
attacked the French, early on Tuesday morning,
on the left bank of the Seine, and captured three
cannon, three flags, and 500 prisoners. Gen.
Benthe'm himself telegraphs from Eloner, on
the 4th, confirming the above intelligence, and
adds that he has pursued the enemy beyond
Bourgachard. The battle lasted throughout the
day.
VERSAILLES, Jan. 4, via LONDON, Jan. A.
The commandments OF the southern forts of
Paris commenced at nine O'Clock this Thursday
morning.
HAvRE, Jan. 5.--The report of great battle
on the left bank of the Seine is confirmed. The
battle has been very fierce and of very san
culinary character. 1t lasted for several hours,
but, as far as can be ascertained, no decided adj
vantage had been gained. The loss of the Prus
slams has been very heavy. The French troops
showed remarkable spirit and daring.

CHINESE DoCToRs IN CALIFoRNIA.-It is
not the Crispins alone who are exercised in re-
gard to the apprehended competition with John
Cinnamon in this country. In San Francisco
the regular physicians complain bitterly of the
inroads made upon their incomes by the Chi
nese doctors, and they will make an effort in the
next legislature to keep the healing business en-
tirely in their own hands. One Chinese doctor
has amassed greater fortune than any other
medical practitioner in California A few years
penses if he would 20 TO New York for four
years, on the ground that he could do better
than that III San Francisco. DR.. jim, another
Celestial physician, has almost as large an in
come, and adverllses in English in the most APP
proved "Melican" style. he even calls in the
aid Of poetry TO cxhalt his fame and spreads a
shockingly bad wood cut of his own uulovely
countenance, broadcast through the city. His
published certificates Of cures are wonderful
flights Of fancy.
