News Of trouble and rum ors of possi
bic civil war come to us from Liberia.
Some two years ago the present execu-
tive OF that country, President Rove.
was elected for the term Of four years.
Recently, however, the Congress Of Lii
beria passed an Act limiting the Preai-
dents term to two years, aud now the
partisanB OF Roberts, who will be re-
membered as the predecessor of Royo,
Insist upon the immediate resignation Of
the latter and new election By the peo-
PIE, Roberts himself being candidate
Tor the Office. Roye refuses to resign,
and declares his intention of serving ont
the term for which he was elected. in
which he is sustained by considerable
party, and this refusal has given rise to
great deal of bitterness between the Two
factions. An ARRAY lately occurred at
the seat Of government between the ad-
herents of Roye and Roberts, in which
the collector OF the port, staunch sup
porter of the present incumbent, and
one OF the most able and prominent men
OF tho country, was killed. This occur
renee has added fuel to the already ex-
listing fire, and it is feared that Roberto
who is said to have quite formidable
backing, will raise the standard of open
rebellion.

RoBBERY.-We understand that a dar.
ing robbery was committed few even
ings ago at the store-room of Col.
Mccullough, who resides near the line OF
this County. The plunderers got some
money, and perhaps some merchandise.
Some OF the party have since been ar
rested and have made confessions. A
good many robberies have occurred in
TINT section, and for some time the OPT
mon has prevailed that these depredn-
tions were committed by an organized
band It is confidently believed that the
confessions now being made by the par
ties lately arrested will lead to the an
earthing of these plnnderers and rob-
bers. -LaurenspiNe Herald.

The bed Of the Mississippi River
seems to be filling up at rate which
threatens. in the course of time, to
seriously affect navigation during the
dry season. This year ut st. Louis,
while the surface of the water has been
four feet and one inch above the lowest
stage OF water attained by the river in
1863, there was OF the same time only
about five inches difference in the de pth
OF the channel between these years,
showing that the bottom of the river
must be three feet and four inches higher
than it was in 1863. So in 1856 the bed
OF the river was fonnd to be two feet
and three inches higher than il was ten

In Magdeburg were found $4,000 troops, in
cludiDg 2000 artillerymen, and in Hameln
there was Prussian garrison OF 5000 men,
with six months provisions and stores, and
ammunition of every kind. The French
general to whom the place was given up
had no forces with him except two Dutch regi-
ments and a single regiment of light infantry.
In the meantime another inferior army as
sembled at Wesel, under the command Of
Louis Bonaparte, the newly-created King of
Holland, overran the Prussian provinces OF
Westphalia, and penetrated into the Electo-
rate of Hanover; and a still smaller corps
under General Dandaels took possession of
Emden and East Friesland. At Munster and
other places valuable magazines fell into the
hands of the invaders, aud no resistance was
anywhere made to them. Hameln, as before
stated, was given up to General Savory, and
Nieuberg the last place of the Electorate
held by the Prussians, capitulated few days
afterwards wiz, on the 25th of November).
The surrender of Plassenberg, a small fortress
In the territory of Bayreuth, completed the con,
quest of the Prussisn fortresses in Germany
to the west of the Oder. Then as now, there
was for few days some hope of an armistice.
After the battle of Auerstadt, Lucchesini was
despatched by the King of Prussia to the
French headquarters to negotiate peace, and
on arriving there on the 22d of October,
Duroc was named by the French Emperor to
negotiate with him. At first the Prussian
Minister was amused with hopes of conclud-
ing peace on the terms which he was autho-
rized to offer; but as the situation of his
sovereign became every day more desperate
by the capture of his armies and surrender of
his fortified places, the demands of the French
rose in proportion, and at length Napoleon
explicitly declared that he would never quit
Berlin nor evacuate Poland till Moldavia aad
Wallachia were yielded by the Russians in
complete sovereignty to the Porte, and till
general psace was concluded on the basis of
the restitution of all the Spanish, French,
and Dutch colonies and possessions taken by
Great Britain during the war; With this
declaration all hopes of peace vanished; in
stead of which armistice was proposed by
the French, and after much fruitless negotia-
tion concluded by Lucchesini on November 6;
but the terms were so disad dvantageous that
the King of Prussia on the 22d refused to
ratify it, and the war was prosecuted with
uDremitted activity. Perhaps Count Bis
marck happens to remember this history OF
the events which occurred in October and
November sixty-four years ago, when Count
Won Moltke was an innocent child of seven
years old, and has been in some degree infu-
enced by the precedents afforded by the con-
duct of the Emperor Napoleon l towards
Prussia in 1906.

THE ORIGINALS OF DRAMATIC AND
ROMANTIC CRARA CTERS.
rom Every Saturday.

From Every saturday.
Since the death of Dickens many curious
explorers have been industriously at work to
discover the "originals" of his most popular
characters. Even the name of the fortunate
coachman who sat for the portrait of Tony
Weller has been contided to the public.
In locking over the long list, with
its unsuggestive array of meaningless
names, we have been specially struck by the
statement that Talfourd was meant when
Dickens delineated Traddles, in the novel of
'Dayid Copperfeld." 1t was generally known
that some boisterous element in the talk of
Walter Savage Landor gave the hint to which
we owe Mr.. Boythorn; that some ''jaunty"
element in the character of Leigh Hunt
quickened the imagination of the observing
humorist when he drew Harold Skimpole:
but none was more eager than Dickens him
self to protest against identifying Lam
dor with Boythorn, or Leigh Hunt
with Skimpole. 1t would indeed have been a
cruel injustice to suppose that the author
of the 'Imaginary Conversations" and "Peri-
cles and Aspasia," full as they are of most
delicate discernment of life and character
and indicating resources of scholarship and
criticism of which Dickens had not the re-
motest idea, was fairly included in the
humorous conception of Boythorn, a man
who does not suggest Landor at all to any
reader OF his works; and as for Leigh Hunt
of Skimpole throw no light on the Character
of the intrepid reformer who, with all
his weaknesses, was as willing to inhabit
a Jail rather than reoant his political
principles, who fought the Tories of England
during the thirty years when the Tories were
all powerful, and who cordially appreciated
as critic the genius of the writers of the
party by which he was inhumanly persecuted
both as an author and as man. Still, there
might be some slight foundation for Boy
thorn and Skimpole in Landor and Hunt;
what possible basis in the habits and charac-
ter Of Talfourd can be adduced to identify
him with TraddlesY
At the time David Copperfed meets Trad
dies, the latter is briehess lawyer. Now we
know perfectly well what were the occupa-
tions of Talfourd when he was in that un-
fortunate condition. He was the keenest
interpretative critic Of the great English
writers Of the century especially of Words
worth, then eontemned as a poet both by
Wings and Tories. There is not the slightest
trace Of Traddles in Talfourd as far as
we know Talfourd through his early
writings. He may have had the charming
dislntefestedness which Dickens so delight
fully sets forth; he may have had the exter-

A PARALLEL.

The Present Invasion of France. and the
French Invasion of Prussia In 1906.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.
There is a remarkable resemblance in some
points between the history of the present
campaign of the Prussians in France and that
of the French in Prussia,,in 1906. Indeed, the
records of that period might with a change
Of names be almost taken for stray pages of
the war literature of 1870. After the battle
of Auerstadt, which was lost by the Prussians
chiefly owing to the mismanagement of their
generals, and the surrender of Erfurt and
Rapoleons entry of Berlin, occurred the CAPT
tulation of Prince Hohenlohe and his army,
then the retreat of Blucher to Lubbock, the
stormiug of that city, and the surrender of
Blucher with the wreck of the forces under
his command.
After this the Prussian fortresses fell an
easy prey to the French, and then with more
reason than now it was said that these for
tresses might have held out for some time
longer. When Spandau capitulated on the
oath of October, the French observed that,
well defended, it might have sustained
siege of two months after the trenches had
been opened. Stettin surrendered on the
29th OF October, capitulating to the first
column OF French troops that appeared be-
fore 1t, who found to their surprise that it
contained garrison of 5000 fnelooking
troops, 100 pieces of cannon, aud abundant
magazines OF all sorts. Custrin a place of
considerable strength, and of great impor
tance on account of its situation on the Oder.
surrendered to Marshal Davoust on the lst of
November, as soon as it was invested
and summoned, though its garrison consisted
of 1000 men, amply provided with magazines.
