The city of Geneva has only just missed
having left to it a legacy considerably
richer than the heritage bequeathed to it
by the late Duke of Brunswick. Count
Potocki, who died few days ago at his
house in the Avenue Friedland, Paris had
an income of $400 600 year from real
estate alone, and $500 900 from life annni>
ties which he had purchased from various
life insurance companies. As the Count
lived to be "a years old this speculation
proved very successful, so far as he was
q, ncerned. Though he was on good terms
with his only son, Nicholas, be could not
fear the idea, Of having an heir, and de,
bred much to leave all his vast property
81 trust. for charitable purposes but as the
inrench law wouldnot allow him to d.
This, he came short time!ago 10 Genevs,
with the intention of bequea,hing his for
tune to the city, as the Duke of Brnus-
wick had done He found, however, that
the Code Napoleon rules also in Geneva,
and there ne more than in France can a
man make his own will Then he went
to England, got himself naturalzed, and
made a,will, in which he cut off his SOD
with shilling, and left all else that he
had to be divided among number 1oi
philantbropic institutions. But, as it was
evident that his end was approaching, his
friends prevailed upon him to alt r his
testamentary dispositions in tavor of his
/ son, WIN had naver giveh him cause Of
offence. Count Nicholas therefore, inherts
all his fathers wealIb-$400 900 year,
besides personal property ofalmost untold
value. The late Count Potock was the
husband of the beautiful countess of that
name, once a celebrity in tie musical
world, and known as the friend aud beue,
factor of Chopin. ~ aaay 4aaa t.t

+ In considering the changes in the party,
vote in South Carolina, it is we'll to keep
10 mind few facts bearing upon the re-
forms Instituted by the Democrats since
their return to power. Tee expenses Of
the State Legislature, are particularly in
point. la 1870 Il the total expenses ofthe
South Carolina Republican Legislature
were, in round numbers, eight hundred
and twenty>t 20 thousand dollars; in 1871
~, one million Eve hundred and thirty
three Thousand dollars; in 1874, nine
hundred and eigat thousand dollars; in
1884, nine hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars In 1877, under the
new Democrat regime, they were at once
reduced to $S4,096 Again, it is worthy
of note that since 1876, when the Repusli~
can administration was overthrowR, the
attendance, Of colored children in the
public schools of the State has increased
nearly thirteen thousand over the number
attending during the Republican regime.
TO the unbiased mind it will perhaps not
be thought surprising, in the light of these
facts that there are not few Democratic
negroes in South Carolina. ,.

THE NATIONALS.

A correspondent of the New York Times
has been trying to ascertain the real
strength and prospects OF the National
party in New York previous to their state
convention at Syracuse on the sd OF this
month. He has found much difficulty
owing TO the secret character of the party
organization, but concludes that the party
can muster considerable strength in some
cities and in many rural districts. Tie
object OF the party is to hold the balance
Of power between the two old parties. The
managers propose TO make their state, con-
gressiOnal and assembly nominations in
advance Of the other parties and thus try
to compel the adoption of their candidates

The Seasonable Romance with the
Csual Ending.

The first romance of the season in a Low.
ely Vermont village has curled up at the
edges and been torn to shreds like an old
circus bill on a country fence. A few weeks
ago young man, well educated, beautiful,
rich-at least he said he was-and the son
of an English baron, arrived in the village
in search OF quiet resort where his par
ents and their numerous attendants might
spend the Summer. The hotel pleased him,
and he engaged large number of rooms
for his fathers family. Now there chanced
to boar6and lodge at that hotel widow
with charming daughter of nineteen Sum-
mers, also beautiful, graceful, accomplished
and romantic. A correspondent of the
Troy Pres tells what happened. The sweet
girl willingly accepted the young mans in
vitation to ride, and walk, TO visit the hill
side, to linger by the brook-side, as the
water came fresh and cool and ran among

became the afiianced of the baron's son.
The young man went to the pastor of one

be there on a certain Sabbath, and was fond
of good preaching. The son engaged q
band OF music to escort the baron from the
depot to the hotel, borrowed considerable
money Of the landlord, which with the liv-
cry and board bill made . pretty penny.
He received a telegram stating that his

washing still left in the tubs in the sum

The Rev. Isaac s. Kalloch, who sslIt OUT
ol Kansas 4 few years ago rather un-
cxpectcdly 10 numerous anxious creditors,
and who has since been dishing up sensa-
tiunal salvation TO 4 somewhat rapid con-
gregation in San Francisco, has Just taken a
new departure, and espoused the cause Of
koarneyism-tbc communism of the Pa
c.iic coast-which is a very reliable indica-
tion that kearneyism is the strong ism in
Caiifornia-for be it known that Isaac, with
all his faults, and with all the little indis-
cretions that he has been guilty of in Mas
sachUsetts, Kansas and elsewhere, was new
cr guilty Of wasting his energies on the IN
popular side. Referring to his latest per-
lormance, ii an article entitled pulpit
nemagogism," the Sacramento Union Of the
lllh inst. says:
Sir. kalloch, an cratic and nornadic
preacher, who calls himself Reverend ap-
paTently on the principle Iuclls a non h,cendo,
is making great efforts TO obtain for himself
the position of ChaplaIn-in- Ordinary to
Kearnoyism. He appears TO have converted
the place Of worship called the Metropolitan
Temple in.o kind of circus where he per-
forms frequently, delivering addresses the
: spirit and ideas of which are rather too con.
sp!cuously borrowed from the sand-lots. 1t
Is not at all necessary TO predicate any i'm
pulse OF public spirit in seeking the motive
OF this new departure. To those who are ac-
quainted with Mr.. Kalloch's career, IL will
not seem surprising that he should have
turned sand-lot spouter, nor is il probable
that the cause of religion Will suffer appre
ciabiy from what, under other circumstance
e, would be n scandal. Mr.. Kalloch COM
planned in recent address that wherever he
had gone he had been a victim of slander and
deiraciion. To say the least this is a
singular statement. Experience teaches that
when men do not deserve the censure of a
community they rarely suffer il. The public
no doubt make mistakes sometimes, but we
know Of no instance in which half a dozen
communities believed a certain man guilty
OF particular kind of immortality and all
believed enormously, When evil reports ac-
company and follow a man persistenily
wherever he goes, il is a natural presumption
that there is something wrong about the man.
Society is not Intentionally unjust, or need
lessly severe, and therefore IL is difficult to be-
lieve that Mr.. halIoch is prosecuted Saint.
For the rest, we think il probable that he
possesses the ability TO deliver far more en-
iertaining and ineligible ediscourses.th that his
adopisd model can perpetrate, and If he
charges no more than ten cents admission
ought 10 attract paying audiences. Doubt-
less he has been guided by a subtle instinct
in grayitating TO the clements which now
command his support, and as no worthy OF

Wants TO Sec LeaVenVOrlh Prosper
Russell Advance, l3

The TINES sees the failure Of Leaven-
worth to secure an appropriation for public
buildings to result from petty jealousy"
How this assumption can be true is not
clear. If any OF the Congressman or United
States Senators are Jealous OF Leaven-
worth, then there may be something 10 the
claim. Congress, and not the people who
stay at home, has had control of the mat
ter, and it is to its members that the cred
it, or discredit, is due.
Nobody is jealous of Leavenworth. The
town has been doing well the past three or
four years, adding to her wealth and trade,
and every citizen of the State applauds her
development and advancement. Nobody
desires the building up of town at the
expense of the State beyond its limit.
Leavenworth is the natural metropolis of
Kansas, but it rests with her people to de-
eide whether she shall in point of fact be
the chief city. We take a broad gauge
view and want to see all of our Kansas
towns improve. We would like to see
Leavenworth" the market for Kansas. But
she must be up and on the alert to attain
the eminence Of the metropolis; she must
not neglect the opportunities with which
she Is gifted
