costs from Germany and France to the same re-
etrictions as are imposed upon cattle coming
from those countries; and further requiring that
all such cattle, sheep and goats coming to Lon
den shall be slaughtered at the place Of landing
instead Of being brought to the metropolitan mar
ket. The Governments or Belgium and the Meth

from Germany and France.
An important decision OF the United States
Court in bankruptcy has been announced from
Boston in the case OF the Boston, Hartford and
Erie Road Judge Shepley ruled that railway
corporat.ons are clearly embraced in the terms or
"buslntss corporations" in the bankrupt law, and
the concern Involved !s now in bankruptcy, and
its stock down TO less than two cents on the dol
lar. This settles the fact that oil bankrupt and
frauduently managed railways are amenaoe to
the Bankrupt Court o! the United States. Some
learned lawyers have been apprehensive that
once ir bankruptcy the roads could never be re-
lIeyed without final and irretrlevabe ruin to the
stockholders But such, 1t Is now said, is not the
practicable Interpretation OF the law any more
than in the case Of receiver and foreclosure un'
der State proceedings, where the stock and bond
holders having through such receivership lid
themselves of bad management, are permitted to
come together on agreed terms to relieve the pro-
perty OF Its difficulties and to reorganlze without
prejudice to any OF the Interests concerned.

Emperor. And, although it is too early for
an impartial verdict to be passed upon the
career OF him who, fortwo decades, was the
central figure in the politics OF Europe, it is
we'll to review the steps by which he reached
the commanding eminence from which he
fell at Sedan, never to rise again. AS an
exact history of the election Of Louis Napo-
leon to the Presidency of the Republic, and
of the bloody drama OF the coup detat, Ma
poleon the Little is of no small value. III.
Hugo is too indignant to be just. Yet his
splendid defamation, biting sarcasm, poeti-
cal imagery and great power OF descrlp-
ton give the work deep interest," and must
cause it to retain high rank in the poltt-
cal literature of France. Many OF IL. HUI
COS predictions have been verified with
singular accuracy, and the whole book,
read in the light Of recent events, points
q moral which all may understand.
The translator has done his work careful
ly but his acquaintance with French seems
to be that which comes of books and not OF
men. In many instances the translation is
too literal to be correct. We could hardly re-
cognise CAasseur de Nncennes in "Vin-
"cennes Skirmisher," and legraad GORDON OF
the Legion of Honor can hardly be spoken
of as "the great cord" Nor is it proper to
change the Place de la Revolution into
"Revolution Square," or the Rue de Jean
Jacques Rousseau, into 'Jean Jacques
"Rousseau Street" There is no such place
or street in Paris. Proper names should
never be translated-a maxim which seems
hard to learn. Some Of the translator's
notes are very funny in their simplicity.
Two examples must suffice. On page 81,
M. Hugo says, Europe laughed from the
"other continent as she looked at Hayti,
"when she saw this white Soulouque ap-
"pear"t The translator gives these notes:
*rhat is Europe which had emlgrated to
America
had treated that island az Louis Napoleon has
treated France.
Again, on page IS, NJ. Hugo says: "The
coup dftat goes to mass : embraces
Catin."- The translator explains the allu-
sion thus:
Throw kiss to the girls
The book is well printed, with clear type

NAPOLEON THE LITTLE. By Victor Hugo.
Translated by clergyman of the Protestant
Episcopal Church from the sixteenth French
edition. New York: Sheldon & Co. 1870.
Napoleon staked his Empire on the cast OF
die-and lost. The prisoner Of Wilhelms-
hohe may be bufeted and abused by those
who would not venture word OF reproach
while Napoleon ruled with absolute sway
forty millions OF people. Victor Hugo, how
ever, Is no time-server. What he says now

Prince President, OF the Dictator of the

Russia and England.

We find the European journals still cogi-
tating and speculating upon the ability of
Russia to alter the balance in Europe. To
the remark that she is poor and her army
disorganized, it is replied that Russia has
borrowed thirty-fve millions sterling within
the last few years without any difficulty
whatever; that a commission is at this mo-
ment sitting for the purpose Of considering
army reform, and that Russia has laid down
six iron-clads within the last six months.
She is laying down network OF railways,
which, when completed, will be the greatest
system of iron roads in the world. She is
perfecting this system, moreover, by means
Of foreign capital, twenty-five millions stef-
ling having been contributed by England,
and thirteen millions by the rest OF the con-
tinent of Europe, When next Russia tries
to break down the balance Of power, the
rest of Europe will have very different op-
ponent to deal with from that which met
France and England in 1856. TO be a
great maritime power is the dream of her
ambition. Ice-bound in the north the Bos-
phorus offers the sole outlet for her egress to
the western SEAS
In the East there is no fraternity OF
civilized nations with whom England can
cooperate in imposing constitutional checks
upon the advance Of Russia into the heart OF
Asia, or who will join in stopping her.
England, therefore, stands in different
position in Asia to that which she occupies
in Europe, aud conviction of this dis
turbs the minds Of her rulers. Unaided,
save by such support as she can derive from
the nations Of the East, she must meet Rus
sia alone. Here England suddenly remem-
bers that she is not great military power
will never be, probably. Great Britain will
not furnish o regular army of over 100000
British bayonets. Indeed, it is doubted if
ever she can count upon being able to
muster much more than one-fourth of that
number OF efficient soldiers upon any foreign
field of battle. In the Crimea, the English
army never reached so, 900 British soldiers;
In India, the same armies on no field OF bat
tie have ever mustered as many as half that
strength. At the outbreak Of the mutiny,
the entire strength of the British army for
the protection of India continent as large
as the whole OF Europe without Russia
was considerably under $4,000. In Asia,
England can look for support solely to east
ern natienalists, or such q combination oi
them as her influence in the East enables
her to command.

GThe Nice OF America"

Yesterday justified the right OF this fair
old city 10 the name SO happily given her
by Colonel Lathers in his letter to the Board
of Trade. Every trace of winter had disap-
peared. The mild and balray air seemed
laden with the perfume OF vernal flowers,
stirring the blood in sluggish veins, and
giving to the step Of business man and
pleasure seeker a healthy elasticity. Bustling
wharyes and quiet streets were lighted up by
the mellow sunshine. Even decline in
cotton and tardy trade could not make
the visage dull, or ill the heart with care
Charleston made good her claim to the new
name, long ago deserved, of the Nice OF
America.
There is, In Charleston, just the variety
which the ballad-writer produced when he
sang that life would be but sultry weather if
We had nothing else but spring. We have q
cold day or two, aud a dull day or two, but T,
a winter climate that of Charleston has no
equal upon the Continent OF America. Flori-
da cannot give to tourist or valetudinarian
the joyousness, the genial breezes, the
spring in mid-winter, which make up the
climate of Charleston. And these are not
all our advantages. This city is easily ac-
cessible either by railroad or by fleet of
luxurious steamships, which ply between
Charleston and New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore. The telegraph lines connect US
with Europe as well as with every part Of
the United States. There is handsome
theatre. The hotels, in richness OF appoint
ment, dainty variety of fare, and judicious
general management, have no superlors
south of the Quaker City. Around Charles
ton are many historic spots, made famous
during the revolution and the war Of the
Confederacy. Lastly, there is q refined So
ciety and cordial welcome to every worthy
visitor.
Without then, boasting. Of the favors
which nature has given US, we may fairly
claim that Charleston is eminently fit to be
the winter-home Of the swarming thousands
who flee from the rigors Of the North, and
who desire to keep an eye to. business while
their families enjoy the delight of o winter
in the South.
