was recorded in DR.. Gregory's work
on Animal Magnetism, published in
Edinburg last spring. and reissuel
here some time during the past sum

Since that period, Captain Austin, as
is well known, has returned, and,
strange to say, his log book shows
that, on the day specified, he actu-

A CRISIS IN EURoPE.-Affairs are
evidently approachinga a crisis in Eu-
rope. For nearly three years there
has been a reaction against the pop
ular explosions of l848 availing
themselves of which, the monarchs
have pcrpetrated outrage after out
rage on their subjects. But the pc
riod has come for revolution. The
aggressions of absolutism have be-
come so numerous Of late, that every
person, beneath the dignity Of n
prince, trembles for life as well as
liberty.
The revocation of the Constitution
granted to the Austrians in 1913,
shows to what lengths absolutism has
gone. No pledges, however sacred,
are considered binding by the Empe-
ror. He is resolved to rule by the
sword, by his own will, absolutely,
entirely. The trcachery of which he
has been guilty to the Austrians pro-
per, throws light backward over
the Hungarian war, revealing to all
the world who was the traitor then,
Francis or Kossuth. There can be
no doubt now of the perfdy of the
Austrian Court. If it betrays its
hereditary subjects now, it would
not have hesitated to betray Hungary
then. Those Americans who have
defended the Emperor against Kos
suth, thus see how they have been
duped.
We do not allow republican feelings
to mislead us, for the London Times,
a journal not particularly favorable
to liberty, advances the same opin-
ion. 1t declares that despotism, such
as Austria contemplates, cannot pos
sibly be maintained in Europe, be-
cause never before has there been
anything so oppressive, not even in
the worst days Of feudalism. Unless
this is a retrograde age, therefore,
an outbreak will soon occur. The
Industrious and responsible of the
population, who became so alarmed
by the excesses of 1913, and have
been lending their influence ever
since to the throne, will now begin
to abandon its cause, will draw nearer
to the republicans, and will finally
unite with the latter in revolution.
The bow, in fact, has been bent too
far; and recoil must be the conse-
quence.
Whether it will happen this year,
or next, or be postponed still later,
it is impossible to tell with accuracy.
But the explosion will come. Al
ready, indeed, the measured tread of
destiny is heard, advancing behind
the curtain, to announce the liberia
ton of Europe and the downfall of
tyranny.-FhH. E0. Bulletin.
