Fate of Poor Old Marshal Bazainc.

Talking of Madrid, have heard lately that
MARSHAL Bazaine is living in that city in a
state of sctual want. His wife, who was a
Mexican heiress, has left him, taking with
her her large fortune, which was settled On
herself The old man wrote lately to one OF
his military friends in Paris, stating the pc
cuniary straits to which he had been reduced.
II, had tried to persuade the Empress Eugene
TO aid him, but that lady had never vouch-
safcd a response to his letter. Yet, if the
marshal had any claim on any one in the
world it was the e1Ssess. He wrecked his
own career and ruined his life by his fervid
Bonapartism-
And she, who has now no actual claims
upon her, having neither family or friends,
might very well have afforded to settle an
annuity ON the old soldier, who was too
ardent an Imperialist to be a genuine patriot
One Of Bazaine's former comrades, an old
general, who is himself far from rich, sent
tho marsh.l $500. What dreary ending to
a career that hagen % brilliantly, When he
entered H0Hico at the head of the French
troops, how dazzling seemed his future pros
poets, And q year or two ago the ambassador
of France at Madrid CHANGED to meet NJ. and
Nine Bazine at one Of the official balla The
minister summoned his staff and his family at
once and with them quilted the ballroom.
For the French government has commanded
its representatives in Spain never to associate
with the traitor of Metz, nor even to remain
ut any entertainment where he may be
present.-Paris Letter.

The Use of Oil at Sea.

Grass is very short in this locality,
don't believe we will have but half a
crop. Some of the old meadows wont
be worth cutting and it is too late for
rain to do much good.
Mr.. Halstram is making quite an
improvement in. the way of clearing
and building, which adds greatly to
the looks of his place.
w. FL. Cochran's horse that was
operated on by Ed. Metcalf of Plover,
is doing nicely. Ed. is the man that
knows how to bring them out.
E. Kronholm has sold his farm and
bought Victor Corbnow's place. He
paid $500 for it.
VIM. Millenbar was offered $1,000

Mr.. aud Mrs. Ell. Witter, and Mr..
and Mrs. John Rousch, of Nashville,
were in the city Wednesday, the first
time they have appeared since ''spring
work" commenced. They told the
TIMES that crops, with the exception
of grass looked fine. That however
had suffered from lack Of rain, and
would be short crop.
Yesterday morning, while workmen
were engaged in repairing one of the
lumber tracks at S. L. Nasons mill,
three miles south and west of Mason
vile, the timbers suddenly tottered
and fell to the ground, Several men
were engaged in the work, but all
succeeded in getting out of the way,
except one, a young German, who was
caught by the falling timbers. One of
his legs were broken, and he sustained
other and internal injuries, from which
it is feared he may die.
