Marshal Bazajnc.

A Paris correspondent describes
the appearance OF Bazaine and the
officers of the court as fellows:
The twelve generals composing tho
military court tor the trial OF Mar.
shal Bazaine are mostly old men;
three OF them are seventy years OF
age. They eRter with martial
bearing, although the legs OF some
Of them drag with age. They sit IN
full uniform and covered with their
decorations. The finest looking of
the twelve is the Duke d'Aumale,
who appears as if he had never lett
to stcrnncss. AS soon MS they wcro
seated on tho opening day, the Pres
ident-the Duke d d'Aumalc-gave tho
order foI Marshal Bazaine to be
brought in. Presently the Marshal
was escorted before them in half
dress uniform, wearing military
medal and tho grand Gordon of the
Region OF Honor, but without sw ord.
When he appeared, his brother, or
some one Of his family stepped for
ward and shook hands with him,
which seemed to have good effect
on the audience, and seemed to have
been preconcerted, for Frenchmen
never forget their theatrical effects.
Bazaine. on coming IN, took a scat
and removed his gloves. He was
pale, which was probably owing
more to the absence of exercise dur.
ing the sixteen months of his impris.
onment than to emotion. Near him
sat his lawyer, one Of the greatest IN
France, Lachaud, who is aided by
his son George, a rising man. The
first day nearly 400 witnesses were
called, composed of all classos and
conditions; among item we're Jules
tavre, Gant..ta, and Marshal Can
robert. It took nearly halt hour
for this cloud of witnesses to defile
before the Court aud answer to their
names. The order has not been very
good SO far, but will doubtless i'm.
prove as the trial proceeds.
Marshal Bazaine IS neither largo
nor small he is short. The bust aud
head are large-heavy. The hair is
short, white and bare on the crown.
The eyebrows are black, thick, and
we'll marked; these, with absorbing
eyes, constitute the principal relief to
. face somewhat massive, almost
heavy, through fat cheeks. and hang
ing, sensual lips. The moustache and
imperial are thin, course and black.
the arms are short, and their extrem.
tiles are brought together across tho
abdomen from time to time, in q
manner that is anything but distiu.

Of his physlognomy is timid, half

part he is quiet and attentive. For

Orwig and Rankin, neither Of them
directly from the State Treasury ,bu,
still losses chargeable to Republican
officials. In the aggregate the loss.
es TO the people will perhaps amount
to $4,000.
During all Of this, period, too,
nlne-tenths of all the counties in the
State have bcen under Republican
rule. The amount disbnrsed by the
; Republican county .tseasurers must
have been enormous The total taxes
of many counties in the State now
oycrrun 100000 per annnm. But
putting the average at t75, 900 per
annum, it would make ~ 500, 900
yearly. In twenty years this would
make The enormous 4aum of lhli-.

erage Is too high TO, 'hc twenty
years, il IS doubtless true The Rn.
publican county treasurers of Iowa
have collected and dlsbursed $1OO..
100000. And yet, IN all this time,
we DO not recall one serious defalca
ton Of Republican county trcasur
er in tho State. Doubtless there
have been some, but we think we are
justified in saying that during the
past twenty years of Republican rule
IN Iowa the losses by official pecula
ton of county trcasurers has reached
little more than one.fifth OF one per
cent. OF the amount collected.
And yet, in spite of this evidence
Of the general faithtulness with
which Republican agents have dis
charged their trnst, because one
weak old man IN the office CT State
Treasurer, who had all his previous
lite been honest, was carried away
by fever Of speculation, and used
the funds OF State institution of
which he was the financial agent, we
have q constant howl from the Dem
ocratic press about Republican cor.
ruption in Iowa In the history OF
all private trusts in any country, we
doubt if smaller proportion OF loss
could be found than IS shown in this
statement OF Republican manage
ment in the State OF Iowa. Aud yet

institution $4,000, $40, 900 of which
he cannot make good, the Demo

this State.
For time tho Democratic party
had control of the State, and a
Democratic manager of the school
fund stole more than Orwig and
Rankin together. In Dubuque coun-
ty, but tew years ago, Democrat.
ic county treasurer was a defaulter
for some $4,000. And now IN Jack
son county, almost the only other
really Democratic county in the
State, we find another Democratic
treasurer charged with the theft OF
at least $4,000 OF the public funds,
and perhaps more. Here, then, we
find that either OF the two radically
Democratic counties OF the State has
suffered as much from detaultlng of
ticers as has the State OF Iowa
through Republican officials. And
we submit, in the light of these facts,
that it iil.bccomes the Democratic
press of this State to be indu'ging in
reflections upon Republican honesty,
at least so far as Iowa is concerned.

Too MUCu LAND.-Land is wealth ONLY a.
1t can be made productive. When unproduc-
tive it is source Of poverty. When partly
cultivated and made less productive than il
night be by thorough cultivation labor is was.
ted and goes for naught. Had that labor been
expended in thorough cultivation it would have
yielded profitable results. These ideas are
worth considering by those who strive to add
field to field and try to enlarge their bounda.
ries beyond their powers of usefully and pro
ductively cultivating them. The capital need
ed to properly cultivate farm in England is esti
mated at $50 per acre, leaving out of question
the land asd buildings. This amount is ex.
pended in stock implements, manures purchas
ed, feed and labor, before single dollar is re
turned In the shape Of crops. The consequence
is the average yield OF the soil there is five time.
that of ours, which ratio probably presents thu
excessive proportion of land under eneificien

PROFIT IN FEEDING SHEEP.-Ata recent
meeting ofthe Farmers Club, in Batavia, Gen.
esee County, N. Y, Mr. George Burt preser-
tedthe following definite statistics relative to the
cost and profit Of feeding sheep for market, He
paid for 200 sheep for fatting, s9l5; for keep,
two months, $64; eight tons of fsY, at SIG pei
ton, $l20; four loads Of corn-stalks, $40; l4s
bushels of corn, 60 cents per bushei, $sS 50
one barrel of salt, 49, interest on money invest
ed, $40 rs; total l,227 90. Jan. 4. he sold III
sheep at cents per pound, $l,522 40; twenty
eight at is cents per pound, S1sl 10; one
pelt, 81 so; total Sl,705 90; profit on the 20C
sheep, $47S IA. Mr.. Burt holds that sheep in
Winter should be kept in small fiocks less, rath'
erthan more, than sixty five in flock, in yard,
where they can have free access at all times 10
water; that they should be kept free from all
disturbing or exciting causes; that open sheds
are better for them than close barn, and thai
it IS best to feed grain to them whole.
