New YORK, June 22.-Four of the

were held for extradition by the United
States Commissioner on the charge Of
mutiny and piracy, we're sent home in
irons yesterday on the steamer Colorado
for trial.
The annual regatta of the New York
Yacht Club which takes place to-day
promises to equal, if it does not surpass,
any ike festival. Twenty7Six as fine
vessels as float will contend in friendly
rivalry for the cup over the finest ac-
auatic race course in the world and in
the presence of thousands Of spectators.
At present there is every probability of
beautiful day. A large fleet of steam
boats will accompany the yachts over
the course, afording thousands an op-
portunity of witnessing the race.
Billy Edwards and Tim Collins, the
prize fighters under sentence of four
years imprisonment for fighting in the
ring, were yesterday before the Supreme
Court on writ of habeas corpus. Their
counsel made lengthy argument, insist
ing that the court before whom they
were tried did not possess the proper ju-
risdiction. The court ruled that some
legal defect may be shown in jurisdic-
ton, but that comment need not set out
jurisdiction or evidence, and that the
writ must be dismissed. The prisoners
were remanded back to Blackwelrs Is
land. Had they been discharged two

THE BOHAPARrEs.- Charles Bona~
parto and Letilia, his wife, respectable
citizens OF Ajaccico, in Corsica, were
the parents Of eight children, one of
whom became an emperor and the
greatest Of modern conquorers, three
being kings, one a queen, one a reign
ing sovereign, and one a princess.
This uneXampled suddenness of for
tune spraug, it is true, from the extra
ordinary genius Of one brother alone.
But it is not the less true that the
whole family were endowed with far
more than the usual amount of energy
and ability. Some OF this, again, has
been transmitted to their children. Of
the tweuty-six grand children to Char
les and Letitia, one has received the
splendors-and the misfortunes, too
of the first empire; eight or nine OF
them have become authors of repute-
two being, in his own line, of great
distinction; while in none Of them has
ever appeared any weakness.
1t is onlya hundred years, since the
first Of them-Joseph-was born; and
only ten years since the youngest of
them jerome died. Within the
compass Of a single life, they have gov
erned France twice, each time with
Improvements in the material resources
Of the country quite disproportioned
to the length Of the reign and the diff.
culties they have encountered. They
have formed alliances with the noblest
houses in Europe. They have been
for good and for. ovil-pepetually in
the mouths Of men. They have fallen
hopelessly, and risen unexpectedly.
| They have had disastrous rcycrses and
splendid successes. They have been
alternately the sport and the spoiled
child Of fortune.

A Young man from Kentucky. VIII

A young man from Kentucky, X who
undertook to open country store in
the mountains of East Tennessee, came
to speedy ruin because he was "too nip
py" for that region. He wore stove,
pipe hat, had his boots blacked each
day, and mounted fresh paper collar
every morning, all of which served to
disgust the natives, who said he put on
too much Kentucky blue grass society
style for them. But still he was en-
dured until the women learned that
he had his shirts made to button up
behind. That they could not and
would not stand; and when the fair sex
turned against him, all further strug-
giles against fate became useless. The
young mans stock in trade was dispos-
ed of 10y the sheriff.

GooD DEMocnArIc DocrnINE.

GooD DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE. -
Senator Carl Schurz, in his Nashville
speech, laid down the platform Of po-
litical reform which he demanded.
He said:
az general amnesty should no longer
be postponed. 1t would tend to disarm
the feeling of alienation caused in the
south by the results Of the war; that a
Just generous and concillary spirit
should be adopted; tha! it was neces>
sary to return without delay to Il sound
practice of constitutional government (;
that local solfgoyernment should, be
restored to that freedom which be-
longod to it; that great abuses had
grown up in the civil service, and must
be corrected; that our system Of import
duties needed change; that taxes must
be reduced that a return to specie
payments must be made; that corrup~
laain- -hiqb TAces si'oa,d1ho-raalsed, 7
and that the influence Of corporations |
of tremendous power should be guarded |
against, and donations Of public land |
stopped"
He could not possibly have more
defined the ground upon
which the democracy Of the country
are TO fight the battle of 1872. The
reforms enumerated as required are
those which the democracy Of the coun-
try are now demanding, and will de-
mand in 1872. The evils complained
Of are those which the democracy of
the country are complaining of, and
proposing to correct, if entrusted with
power. The country demands the
changes enumerated by Senator Schurz,
but the radical leaders have neither
the ability nor the desire to inaugurate
the work Of reform. There is but one
way Of securing the end sought by
every good and patriotic man in the
land, and that is to put honest men in
control of the affairs of the national
goyernment.-LiHle Rock Gazette.

and the things that make for happiness,
everybody trying to make everybody
else happy, what a revolution there
would be!

A WORD TO COUNTRY NEwsrA~
rERs. The Cleveland Herald makes
the following truthful observation con-
cernng country papers, and the duty
ofgiying them wholesome support:
The local paper is an absolute ne
cessity to the county and community
where it is published. Al the city
papers cannotsupply the place of the
home paper. That should be the first
love of every man and woman, for with
the paper is the locality indontifed.
The paper gives the county and town
where printed much Of their impor-
tance IN tn" world, and gives in detail
the local news, which cannot be gained
by any other source. Every days issue
of the paper is SO much local history,
and the rise growth and development
Of the town and county can leasur,
ed and recorded o'j-py the Iooal new |
paper trat constantly is gathering its |
tens. People do not properly appre- !
,iate their home newspaper They |
neasure the value Of a paper too much
by the number Of columns it contains.
The home paper at any price is the
cheapest paper any one can take, for
in it is found the Information to be
obtained from no other source.
Another thing to ba taken into con-
sideration. Every county has one or
more newspaper. Hence circulation o.
each paper must be limited. There is
therefore the greatest need of activity
and interest on the part of the people
to give their own good paper, vigorous,
and substantial support.
