Marshal BaZaine.

The life of Marshal Bazaine is pre-
sented in the following brief article in
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The French Marshal, Francois Achille
Bazaine, is q native Of Versailles, where
he was born February ID, 1911. Al
though the son of a prominent and
wealthy officer, he enlisted as private
in 1881, and rose to the rank of Lieu
tenant in Algeria in 1885; Captain after
two years service with the foreign
legion against the Carlists in Spain ;
after nine years in Morocco and Algeria,
Lieutenant Colonel in 1848; Colonel of
the foreign legion in 1850; and General
of Brigade in the Orimean war, and
acted, after its capture, as Commander
of Sebastopol, and was General Of Di-
vision in 1855, and participated in the
capture of Kinburn. In the Italian
campaign, he was wounded while COM
mandine q division in the attack on
Melegnano (Marignan), and he was
prominent in the battle of Solferino.
In the Mexican campaign he command
ed the First Division of the French
army in 1862, and after defeating Com
onfort and compelling the surrender %
Pueblo, May Is, 1863, he succeeded
Farey as Commander-in-Chief. In the
year 1854 he was raised to the rank Of
Marshal. In February, 1866, he cap

turea the town Of oajaca, together with

turea the town Of Oajaca. together with
Mexican army of 1000 men under
Diaz. Not long thereafter he married
rich Mexican lady, whose family sided
with Juarez. and II was believed that.
though apparently friendly to Maximil
ian, he plotted with that unfortunate
princes enemies to promote his own
ambitious schemes. He finally with.
drew, in February, 1867, from the cap
ital, and embarked not long after ut
Vera Cruz. For leaving Macmillan
he was publicly denounced in France,
but took his seat in the Senate. and
was appointed Commander Of the Third
Army Corps, and in October, 1869, after
the death of st. Jean d'Augely, became
Communicating Chief OF the Imperial
guard at Paris. When the Franco
Prussian war broke out, Bazaine
expected the command of one of the
two powerful armies destined to the in
vasion of Prussia, but found himself in
command of only single corps. He
was, however. after the disaster of
Woerth and Forbach, placed in COM
mand of the army of the Rhine. Bazaine
then fell back on Metz. The battles of
Mars la Tours and Gravelotte were
fought, and Bazaine retired within the
Notifications, Theoretically shut in by
Prince Frederick Charles" He made
several unsuccessful attempts to break
through the investing army, which were
renewed after the capitulation of Sedan,
but with the same results. He surren.
dered October 27, 1870, an army OF
160.00 men, Metz, and 1900 pieces OF
artillery. Bazaine was arraigned Octc-
Der 10, 1872, before court, charged
with having surrendered Metz without
having exhausted all the means of
defense land with having, as head OF
the army before Metz, signed capitu-
lation in the open field, the result OF
which was to cause his troops to lay
down their arms, and of not having,
before treating verbally and by writing,
done everything which he was bound to
do by duty and honor. After a trial of
two months duration, he was unani-
mously pronounced guilty, sentenced
to be degraded and shot, with the
unanimous recommendation that the
sentence should not be carried into
execution. His sentence was promptly
committed by President MacMahon to
twenty-five years imprisonment in the
fortress, without military degradation.
On August 8, 1874, Bazaine, with the
aid of his wife, escaped from his fortress
prison, Isle st. Marguerite. He has
been reported as living in retirement
in several places.

Influence OF Newspapers.

A school teacher, who has been a
long time engaged in his profession
and witnessed the influence of news
paper OH the minds of family of
children, writes as follows: 1 have
found it to be universal fact without
exception, that those scholars, of both
sexes, and of all ages, who have access
to newspapers at home, when compared
with those who have not, are:
First-Better readers, excellent in
pronunciation, have consequently read
more, and Understandings.
Second-They are better spoilers,
and define words with ease and &C.
curacy.
Third-They obtain practical know
ledge of geography in almost half the
time it requires of others, as the news
papers have made thu m acquainted
with the location of the important
places of nature, their government, and
doings on the globe.
Fourth-They are better gramma-
rians, for having become so familiar
with every style in the newspapers,
from the commonplace advertisements
to the finished and classical Grafton of
the statesman, they more readily com
prehend the meaning of the text, and
consequently analyze its construction
with accuracy.
Fifth-They write better compost
tons, using better language, correctly
expressed.
Sixth-Those young men who have
for years been readers of newspapers,
and are always taking the lead in debat-
ing societies, exhibit more extensive
knowledge upon greater variety OF
subjects, and express their views with
greater fuency, clearness and correct
ness.

Saws the editor Of Denison (Tex.)
Democrat: "There is man at present
living in Denison, who thoughthe could
run newspaper. His idea was to adopt
the sensational style, SO he let out, and
in a week his partner dissolved with
him, but still he kept on, and In two
weeds he had been whipped twice, had
locked himself up in his room once had
been put in the calaboose three times
and paid over 800 in fines. He saw
this would not pay, and so he dropped
down TO the conservative whine, and all
his old customers quit reading the pa
per. Then he published an anti pro-
hibition article, and the churches and
temperance people sat down on him.
Then he let temperance article 60 in
to his paper, and the whisky men at
once refused him credit for drinks.

The Best Breed of Hogs for the South.

Mr.. Richard Peters, of Georgia, in
response to inquiries as to the best
breed of hogs for the south, says that
the Berkshire, as improved, appears to
be well adapted to the wants of the
southern people. The hams of these
hogs are beyond doubt superior to those
of any other breed, and the animals
fatten readily at any age. They are,
however, inclined to become wild if
allowed to run in the swamps and er
not called up and fed regularly. At
eighteen to twenty months they will
yield with fair treatment from $50 to
300 pounds of net pork. The sows are
good breeders and good nurses.
OF the Jersey Reds-a larger breed
than the Berkshires-Mr. Peters ex'
perience is that they require to be kept
on high feed and to be permitted to
run until two or two and half years
old before slaughtering. They will
then weigh from 400 to 500 pounds.
They are lop-eared breed, and do not
vary in color except in the shades
of red. Young pigs have small black
spots on the skin which do not show as
they grow older. They are prolific
breeders, old sows bringing from ten to
fifteen pigs at a litter, and when we'll
fed they yield more milk than sows of
any other breed the cross between them
and the Berkshires, using the Berk-
shire boar, makes, in Mr.. Peters opin-
ion, most valuable hog for all practi-
cal purpo es. j..
"The Essex, beyond all question, {"
says Mr.. Peters, "can be kept at less
cost than any other breed. They orig
mated in England by cross between
the Neapolitan and the Chinese, and to
them the Berkshires owe their great
Improvement, the blood of the Essex
having been freely used by English
breeders of Berkshires. They require
some skill in their management, for
when highly fed the sows become too
fat to breed, though if allowed to run
on grass they bring average itters and
make good nurses"
Mr.. Peters, who had tried all the
breeds enumerated and many others,
keeps now only the Essex and few Of
the Jersey Reds. He allows the sows
to breed but once year, dropping their
pigs in April. The sows run on grass
and clover and are fed about two ears
of corn day, or slops made at the
house with shorts. This provides for
them until the grain fields are open,
and they all run together then on these
farms until the fall. Such as are de-
signed for store pigs are separated and
given a run in the woods on the free
mast. They are fed about one ear Of
corn in two days during the winter.
The following year they again have the
run of the grain fields and then of the
pea fields, and after being fed on corn
for two weeks makes nice meat for fam
lily use at very small outlay. All the
sows except those intended for breed
ers, are spayed; the others are allowed
to run with young bears and breed
early. The first litter of young sows
are invariably killed as soon as dropped.
They bring their second litter from
selected stock of bears when they are
thirteen or fourteen months old. The
brood sows are fattened and killed
after bringing their third or fourth

SATURDAY, MAY s, 1882.

We have taken some pains to find
out the feeling of the people herea-
bouts with regard to the new propo-
sition of some of the bondholders. and
we must say that we have found very
few who favor 1t. Democrats are
nearly unanimously opposed 10 its set
Element by the present legislature, and
many republicans talk the same way.
They say it will not be final, and
think the state should not be subjected
to this extra expense when no good
can result. Strong state credit men
talk this way. While we personally
think the state legally owes the whole
debt, and that our people are able to
pay every dollar fit, yet we are free
to confess that we belong to small
minority hereabouts, and we can see
no hope or prospect of it being paid
in full. Having this view, and know
ing the sentiment of the people of
West Tennessee, we believe the best
that can be done is to compromise at
some figure which majority of the
people will agree to pay. The low
tax, Estate debt proper" men show a
willingness to meet state credit men
on something like fifty and four or
fifty and graded interest platform.
We believe this is as high as they
will go. We are also convinced that
the state credit democrats will not 60
lower. Let us unite now and agree
on something like that. Let us offer
that to the bondholders. If they ac>
cept, all right. Ifthey reject it, why
we will be where we now are-still
owing the whole debt. Jour state
credit friends should remember, also,
that the republicans opposed the 5O-4
proposition because, as they said, only
few bondholders offered to accept
it. We can now oppose the sixty
cents proposition on the same ground
as only about $4,000, 900 worth Of
bonds are represented in this.

In last weeks issue of the Argus
we find the following:
The principle of submitting ito the
people for ratification or rejection
must he in our platform, or we cannot
accept. We cannot support a man
for office who does not favor submits
sion.
We hope our neighbor has recon-
sidered this hasty assertion, and that
he will act with the harmonised party
during the canvass. Low.taxers
here have given up the idea of sub
mission to the people. They are sat-
is6ed with the decision of the Supreme
Court-that any legislature can re-
peal the acts Of its predecessor. That
is all the safeguard they ask, and
they don't want to split on bubble.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The Republican party of Tennes.
see, in convention assembled, at
Nashville, April 81. 1882, do resolve
as follows:
|. That, in reaffirmation of our
last platform, we declare "that the
bonds of Tennessee, heretofore delib>
erately recognized by both the Repub.
lican and Democratic parties as legal,
ly issued, are valid Indebtedness,
binding in law and morals upon the
property and conscience of the State;
and that any attempt to impair the
obligations of that Indebtedness, or to
readjust or scale it, or in any other
manner to change the letter and spir-
it of the contract, without the volun.
tary consent of the bondholders, pre-
viously fairly and understandingly
obtained, is downright reputation
and an act of high-handed dishonesty.
2. That we deem the recent propo-
sition of the holders of the said bonds,
to accept sixty cents and a lower rate
of interest, one voluntary and under
standingly made, and we favor the
acceptance of said proposition as high.
ly favorable to the people of Tennes-
see and consistent with their honor;
and we call upon State-credit men of
all parties to cooperate in securing
the permanent settlement of our State
debt.
3. That as free ballot, a full vote
and an honest count are essential to
Republican institutions, we stigmatize
any illegal interference with the bal.
lot box, the voter or the count as the
highest crime against peoples gov
eminent; and we declare 1t to be the
duty of every voter, first, to vote in
diligently himself, then to see that
every other voter has fair chance to
cast free ballot, and that when the
polls are closed, the result honestly
ascertained, truthfully announced and
lawfully enforced.
4. That we are opposed to bringing
| COiiNiCt inoOr iuUu ConulCt WIN iIcS
labor; that the rights of the laboring
men and women of Tennessee deserve
the fullest protection; that all the leg
islation that cripples the poor is afro
cious tyranny, and the true wealth Of
every state is coined from the sweat
of the working men.
8. That the maintenance of oul
free school system is one OF the mosl
sacred duties we owe to our state
thatIwe favor further improvement
in that system to the end that every
son and daughter of Tennessee, what
ever color or wealth, shall have a fai
