EUROPEAN OPINIONS IN 1886.

The following extracts from an European Maya
zine for 1886, will prove, hope, not unacceptable.
They show at least the spirit OF the times when they
were written, and when the views then entertained
lare contrasted with present situation. they ex-
hibit in brighter colors the great Improvements
(which America has within Sc years effected. /

Iguage the following, should, in 1886, be used in
their popular and periodical Magazines. have
made three extracts, one from January, one from
August, and one from December, 1876.

"The States of North America keep cushing more
land more into anarchy, confusion and political de-
Istruction. They are said to have concluded treaty

have more work on their hands than ever they will
be able to PERFORM

lquillity. She bid adeu to all these comfortable in

their rise from the absolute inability OF the people to

men's tranquility till they put themselves under
The protection OF some foreign power. The only
alternative, therefore, left for them is to become

most eligible, they may easily judge from com

her mother country, with that which they formerly
met with from Great Britain, Hearen forbid that
Great Britain should accept their oter!"
