ness in gluten, or flesh-forming material and phoshates, or bone

nutritious food, especially for children. It is incomparably
superior to arrowroot, corn-flour, and other forms of starch, which
contribute but little to the growth o renewal of bone or muscle. -

EUROPEAN QUESTIONS.

There was never a better time than the present for
studying the possibilities of European diplomacy, and for
puzzling one's brains in attempts to solve the questions of
conflicting interests which cause the European Govern-
ments to hesitate before committing themselves to either
side. The case of England is one of the simplest. Her
trade with both France and Prussia is very great, and it
will be impossible for her to enter into the present quarrel
without a fearful loss of business. There is no political
sentiment more deeply rooted in the average Englishman
than hatred of the Bonaparte race, and it has manifested
itself openly and has been cherished secretly ever since the
present Emperor came to power. But the interests of
England and France have been so interwoven, and the
existence of friendly relations has been so necessary to
Great Britain, that she has concealed her real feelings
under professions of hearty friendship and goodwill.
There is a similar but less powerful feeling against Prussia
on account of her conduct towards Denmark in the
Schleswig-Holstein business. The royal families of Eng-
land and Denmark are closely allied, and, besides, England
was the backer, in a measure, of Denmark in the
war with Germany. Having deserted her in a manner not
to the credit of Great Britain, there is now a conviction
that something ought to be done to help her. Again, in
the first flurry caused by the candidature of the Hohen-
zollern, England supported the demands of France on
grounds that are recognized in Europe as sufficient. Now
that the question of Belgian neutrality is brought into
the account, and the real designs of France have been
exposed, she is driven over to the other side. We have
hinted at only a part of the conflicting claims upon Eng-
land, but enough has been said to show in what a
peculiarly delicate position a nation may be put, drawn
in opposite directions so evenly as to render a decision
almost impossible. Our despatches have given hints that
the attitude of Russia is by no means so decidedly favour-
able to Prussia as has been supposed. Reports from a
French source, probably entitled to little credit, say that
the Prussian policy in the Baltic is a cause of offence
to Russia. More trustworthy despatches are to
the effect that the Government is openly for
Prussia, but that the liberal organs are for France.
We should not be surprised if it should be found
that there are at the present time difficulties between
Russia and Prussia with reference to the Baltic provinces
and coast. At all events the present panslavist policy of
the Czar toward the Baltic provinces, and the attempt to
Russify the Germans residing there, ought to occasion
some coolness between rtßussia and Prussia according to
the usual effect of such events in European politics. Sim-
ultaneously with the singular report with reference to
Russia comes another rumour that Austria is not at all
united in her advocacy of the French side in this war.
Her case is one that gives the *idest field for calculating
the chances for promoting her interest. The main thing
is, of course, to prevent the further aggrandisement of
Prussia It might be possible to bring about this result
by taking either side in the war. The most obvious course
would be to join the enemies of Prussia and bend all her
energies to cripple it. But with all the divisions there is
in Germany a patriotism that resents the violation of
any part of her territory. Bavaria has not been supposed
to be very friendly to Prussia, but France declares that
her willingness to join Prussia and vote supplies,
was due to a false report that German territory was in-
vaded by French troops. Austria cares quite as much
for her influence in Germany as for the humiliation of
Prussia. Would her armies march with any enthusiasm
to attack a German force defending German territory
from the tresspasser ? This question suggests the other
theory of Austrian policy. The Prussian alliance is, per-
haps, worth as much to her as the French. If she joins
her late enemy in punishing Napoleon, she will have a
voice in dictating terms of victory, while in the event of
defeat her rival will have gained nothing. In the first
case she will be as greatly interested as France in mode-
rating the demands of Bismarck, and the South German
States will also be with her. Bismarck could not use a
victory gained with her aid to inflict further humiliation
upon her. These are considerations worth weighing.
When we turn to Italy we find her course plain. She can
have Rome at the cheap price of neutrality. For we pre-
sume that there is little question that this is the meaning
of the French evacuation. The few soldiers whom France
has been maintaining there, more as a promise of all
necessary aid than as a real protection to the Pope's
temporal power, are not essential to the Emperor's pre-
sent campaign. In an army of four hundred thousand
men they are but a handful. Italy wants Rome. Napo-
leon has been to some extent alienated from the Pope by
the adoption of the Infallibility dogma. His advice is
disregarded, and he is fully justified in leaving the Pope
to his fate. The occasion is one where he can preserve
ostensibly relations with Pius, and inflict a blow upon him
at the same time. Italy agrees to remain neutral between
France and Prussia, or perhaps, by one of the secret
treaties which are so common, to afford France some
material aid. The road to Rome is blocked by only a
Papal force of sixteen thousand men. The King of Italy
promises to leave Rome unattacked, but Garibaldi is still
alive, and his spirit is in hundreds of,thousands of Italians,
France at war cannot again spate soldiers to protect
Rome. Italian troops, certain that no outside power can
coerce them, can never be induced to fire upon their
brothers fighting for what all Italians regard as their
capital city. And so, if this war continues, Rome will be
taken in spite of, if not with the connivance of, Victor
Emmanuel, and the temporal power of the Popes, main-
tained through over eleven hundred years, will come to an
end.—Boston Advertiser.
