bility of fnre-up with England-the ssdifficuty

cares two-and -sixpence about the Portuguese ques
tion--the Cuba excitement has burned out like
cheap cigar, and left nothing behind but bad
odor-the Canada revolution "progresses' as quiets
ly as Quaker meeting California is likely to be
admitted without row-there is no probability Of
distinction of the Union; and in the total absence
of combustible materials in the midst Of
olution newspapers are as fiat and vapid as bottle
of stale Congress water. Even the enlargement of
the Batterythe dish of domestic curry which one of
our contemporaries is accustomed TO introduce
when no fiery political condiments are forthcom-
ing-has lost its SAVIOR and will tickle the public
palate more. Some forty thousand signatures

lieve, beyond the reach of resurrecton's hand.
The city railroad is still open question but
