Razaine,S Bad Defense,

From the New York Tribune
Marshal Bazaine has broken his long
silence by making a speech in defense OF
his conduct during the war, before the
Committee of Military Investigation of the
National Assembly He attributes his fail
ure at Metz mainly to the lack of ammu-
milton. This is the first time, that that
excuse has ever been offered. Bazaine
himself never mentioned it in his official
report of the operations of the army of the
Rhine, and General Coffinieres, the post
commander, has pretty clearly shown that
only the inability to provide against hun
ger was the pretext, if not the direct cause,
of the surrender of the fortress On the
night of the 31st of August, 1870, there was
undoubtedly an abundance of ammunition,
for four French corps succeeded in break
ing through the German line, composed
of only one and half corps but through
bad generalship, those same vanquished
German troops were allowed to rally and
beat the greatly superior forces of the
French back into Metz. An impartial in
vestigation into the matter will convict
BaZaine of at least weakness and indecis-
ion,

THE INDIAN WIFE.

BY JOAQUIN MILLER. n NJ q
No, not so lonely now-I love .a-rt
A forest maiden; she is mine;
And on Sierras' slopes of pine,
The vines below, the SHOWS above,
A solitary lodge is set
Within fringe of watered frs a'
And there my wigmam fires burn,
Fed by q round brown patient hand,
That small brown faithful hand of hers
That never rests till my return.
The yellow smoke is rising yet,
Tiptoe, and see it where you stand
Lift like column from the land.
There are no sea-gems in her hair,
No Jewels fret her dimpled hands,
And half her bronzen limbs are bare
But round brown arms have golden bands,
Broad, rich, and by her cunning hands
Cut from the yellow virgin ore,
And she does not desire more.

That she has wove-the sable pelt
That she has fringed red threads arOun
And in the morning, when men are not,

That brings the brown deer to the ground.
And she beside the ledge at noon E .H

With swarm of bees; 1 hear her now,

The Democratic Party.

The Democratic party has been badly
beaten in the California and Maine elec-
tons. 1t will be badly beaten next month
in the Ohio election. There is very little
doubt that it will be beaten in the New
Jersey election. 1t will, of course, be beat
en- in the Massachusetts election, no mat
ter who the candidates of the respective
parties may be. There is reason to believe,
since the recent Ring developments, that
even in the New York election it may be
beaten. The Democratic leaders ought to
be able to see that it is next to impossible
their party should have any chance of sue
cess in the national election next year.
The party is weaker now than it was at
any of the three last Presidential elections,
in all of which it was beaten. 1t was bet
ter organized then than it is now 1t had
stronger names then among its leadert
than it has now. 1t had principles more
definite and plausible then than it is able
to put forward now. In fact, it has now
nothing to show for itself-no great policy,
no popular programme, no hold upon the
national interests or the public feeling, no
honorable reputation, no character for hon.
esty or efficiency. There is no doubt that
it will be again beaten and routed by the
Republicans at next years Presidential
election. If the Republicans put forward
fit candidate, on a proper platform, it
will be routed worse than it ever was rout-
ed before but even if they should renoml-
nate Grant, the Democratic party will be
beaten Cincinnati Commercial, 14th.

A NOTABLE WEDDING.
The Marriage of Jerome Napoleon Bona
parte to a Granddaughter Of Dan1ei
-. -. Webster I'm Newport.

OF the marriage of Jerome Napoleon
Bonaparte to Mrs. Caroline LIE Roy Edgar,
of Boston, in st. Mary's (Catholic) Church,
Newport, r. l., on Thursday morning, a
correspondent of the Boston Transcript
writes as follews:7 EF nrr --- q.
The wedding was a quiet one, and the
bride was attired in travelling dress. No
reception was held here, and the parties
left for Boston by the noon train. The
church was filled with spectators, though
the wedding party was small. The guests
were attired in mourning toilettes, without
any attempt whatever at display.
Mr.. Bonaparte is the grandson of Mime.
Patterson -Bonaparte, and grand-nephew
of Napoleon I. He was born in this cOun-
try in 1882 graduated at West Point, and
entered the French army, where he won
for himself much honor. At the seige of
Sebastopol, he received decoration from
the Sultan for gallant and meritorious con-
duct. His appearance is handsome and
martial, and his physique very fine. His
face has something of the Napoleonic cast,
and he is said to possess fine abilities,
amiable manners and disposition which
gains him friends always. He is now forty
years of age, and his destiny at present is
a mere matter of speculation, Blythe laws
of the Catholic Church, he is, in case of
the death of the Prince Imperial, heir to
the throne of France, should the family
again come into power. The church never
declared the marriage Of Jerome Bonaparte
to Miss Patterson null and void, and Nine.
Patterson-B -Bonaparte has always prophesied
that her grandson would eventually occu-
py the throne But, as / said before, this
is mere speculation.
Mrs. Edgar, who was Miss Appleton, of
Boston, granddaughter of Daniel Web
ster, is well known in Boston society. She
is a lovely type of the American woman,
pretty, pleasing brunette, with refined
face and dignified carriage. She has been
a widow several years, and has owned and
occupied handsome summer residence
here number of seasons. She was attired
in an ashes-of-roses travelling dress, of some
soft material, which draped very grace
fully, and white straw bonnet, trimmed
with black lace and feathers of tea-rose
shade. She was brought forward to the
altar by her uncle, Mr.. Appleton, of Bos-
ton, and Miss Julia Armsted, who accom-
panied her as witness. The parties kept
their seats in different parts of the church
during most of the service, and after reach
ing the chancel, they remained kneeling
through all the ceremony.

Mr.. BEEeHER's HABITS OF COMPOST
T1ON.-It may interest many readers to
know something of Mr.. Beecher's habits
of composition. He writes with incOn-
ceivable rapidity, in large, sprawling
hand, lines wide apart, and words SO thin
ly scattered about that some of his pages
remind enc of the famous description of a
page of Napoleon's smanuscript-a scratch,
blot, and splutter. Writing so hastily,
ne writes with some inaccuracy, and, as he
finds correction very irksome, he hands his
manuscript over to some one familiar with
his handwriting, to be prepared for the
press. 1t is then set up, the rough proof
corrected, and a fair revise handed to the
author. This he reads with extreme care,
and makes SO many corrections, erasures,
and additions, that it is sometimes cheaper
and less labOrious to reset the whole than
to correct" from his proofs. A second
proof is then prepared for him, and, some
times, third and fourth, before his criti-
cal judgment is satisfied, and the stereoty-
per is allowed to cast the plates.

BeautifnI sight.

Yesterday we looked into the painting rooms
of Mr.. j. NJ. Havely, on the corner of Gay and
Cumberland streets, over H. Mann's, clothing
store, when he very courteously showed US
around his establishment.
In the outer room are several very large signs
for business houses, in different styles OF letter
ing. one of which, for Messrs. Nichols, Page,
Francisco & Co., measures twenty-three feet IN
length. We also saw several beautiful door
signs one for Messrs, Rayl g Boyd, executed
in colors and bronze; also others for Messrs
Doll & Cullen and p NJ. Williams, of different
design but alike so far as regards excellence OF
execution. The tints are admirable, and vary
from ashes of roses to deeper hue, though the
taste of a customer is always followed. i..ia
A paneled stand sign, for an insurance othce,
in gold on velvet finish, presented very rich
appearance The character of this work is not
often excelled in the larger cities, and that Mr-
Havely has always orders ahead shows that his
skill and talents are appreciated.
Capt. TOmI Bell is having a snowy sign
painted for his livery stable, representing his
four horse bus in front of the Lamar House,
together with view of that hotel, which, when
completed, will look as natural as life If not as

THE MYsrERY oF EpwIN DRoop.-Mr

THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD.-Mr.
Collins has written letter, in which he
discloses the derouen1et1t of the unfinished
story of Edwin brood, as Mr.. Dickens had
sketched it out to him at an early stage of
its conception:
Edwin Drood," he says, was never to
re-appear, he having been murdered by
Jasper. The girl Rosa was, l believe, to
admit the sailor, Mr.. Tartar, to supply
DroOd's place. 1t was intended that JAS
per himself should urge on the search after
Edwin brood and the pursuit of his MUIR
derer, thus endeavoring to divert suspicion
from himself, the real murderer. As to
anything further, it must be purely con-
jectural. 1t seems likely that Rosa would
marry Mr. Tartar, and possibly that the
aame fate might await Mr.. Crisparkle and
Helen LandIess. Young Landless him.

tainly would, though whether by falling
into the hands of justice or suicide, or
through taking an overdose of opium,
which seems most likely, it is impossible
