.Good and Bad News. •
Bad news weakens the action of the
heart, oppresses the lungs, destroys
the appetite, stops the digestion, o.ml
partially suspends all the functions oi
the system. All emotion of shame
flushes the face, fear blanches, joy il
luminates it; and an instant thrill
electrifies a million of nerves. Sur
prise spurs the pulse into a gallop.
Delirium infuses great energy. Voli
ti >n commands, and hundreds of mus
cles spring to excite. Powerful emo
tions often kill the body at a stroke.
Chile, Piagoras, and Sophocle, died
of joy at the Grecian games. The
news of defeat killed Philip V One
of the popes died of an emotion of
the ludicrous on seeing his pet mon
key robed in pontificals, occupying
the chair of state. Muley Moloch
was carried upon the field of battle in
the first stages of an incurable dis
ease; upon seeing his army give way,
he rallied his panic -stricken troops,
rolled back tide of battle, shouted vic
tory and died. The doorkeeper of
the American Congress expired on
hearing of the surrender of Cornwal
lis. Eminent public speakers have
often died in the midst of an impas
sioned burst of eloqucnco, or when
the deep emotion that had produced
it had suddenly subsided. Legrave;
the young parisian, died when he
heard that the musical prize, for which
he had competed, was adjudged to
another.—
Bazaine.
Marshal Bazaine, contrary to what
is generally thought, is undergoing
real and severe detention. He is con
fined within the fort, and has but the
terrace on which to take his walks.
The rest of the island is forbidden
ground to him. Ho has no garden at
his disposal, as has been reported,
with the exception of a few trees and
flowers on the terrace. Madame Ba
zine is with him. She may leave the
fort when she please, says tlio London
Times, so may M. Bazaino’s aid-de
camp, but they need a special permis
sion from the minister of tho interior
to re-enter the fort. Hence Madame
-Bazaine stays as long in the prison as
possible. The view is extonsive only
from the terrace, whence tho open sea
may be discovered. There is not suf
ficient fresh water on tho island, and
a small boat which serves to commu
nicate with the coast brings over the
quantity necessary. The ex-marshal
at first suffered a great deal from this
scarcity of water. He was obliged
to reduce his baths iu order to water
the flowers on tho terrace. Hence
the aid-de-camp had to go to Paris to
ask that a more abundant supply of
fresh water might be brought from
the mainland, a request which was at
once granted to the great joy of tho
prisoner. Bazaine leads a very uni
form life, and seems resigned to his
lot. Ho reads much, works all the
morning, is taciturn, and avoids much
as possible showing himself.
How Bristow Squelched Mudge.
Bristow allows that ho is Secretary
of the Treasury. Under the Richard
son regime, anybody about the build
ing was liable to promulgate financial
opinions and to indicate what they
considered correct government policy.
Bristow means to do most of this him
self, and has introduced a discipline
that is almost martial. A day or two
ago Mr. Madge, heretofore a preten
tious and noisy subaltern, came into
Bristows room and threw himself
across a sofa in the familiar style of
Richardson days. At tho moment
Bristow was explaining anew finan
cial idea to an official visitor. As he
finished, Madge broke forth patron
izingly, observing, “Excellent, Mr.
Secretary; I am glad to be able to
agree with you in what you sav.” Bris
tow turned upon him chillingly.
“Your chief is tho Commissioner of
Customs,” he said. “Report to him
at once. When you have any future
business with me, transact it through
him. If I have any special use for
you, I’ll send for you.” Madge edged
out. Bristow has already made a
marked chango in the morals of the
department. He contemplates fur
ther reductions of the force, and a
wholesome increase in its efficiency.
He has made a brave start in his work
of improvement, and the country is
crying him a grateful God speed."
A remarkable iustance of fam
ily rotation iu office exists iu the se
lection of Consul to Fail-mount, Eng
land. President Washington appoint
ed as our first consular representa
tive at that place a Mr. Fox, who held
the office many years. He was suc
ceeded by his son, who recently gave
up the position, and now Howard Fox,
his son, has been nominated to suc
ceed his father.
Jfea?* In only nineteen of the thirty
two Counties in South Caroliua 146
square milts of land have been sold
for State and County taxes, and 537
square miles of land have been forfeit
ed to the State at tax sales dui-ing the
ear-rent year.
