§mm (Timber (Sasetti, Swr ANNUAL SUHSC.It/PTION $2 50 ATUBDAY MORNING, JULY 18 .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."
