WAR SpEoULArIoNs.-Ion, writing from the
Capital to the Baltimore Sun, under date of
the LIST inst, says
Whether the second Mexican war is to be the
| last one is question. Many persons take It for
granted that it will put an end to that Mexican
| nationality" which Santa Anna talks about
| and is so much bent upon in hazarding, IN or
der to promote his own ends. But.this is by
| no means to be taken for granted. Our people,
| always eager to engage in a war, are also soon
| tired of it.
| Every one knows that the first Mexican war
could net have been carried on another year by
| this government without calling out the militia
and marching them across the lines, and there
upon probably encountering all the difficulties
that arose during the war of 1872 upon that
point. The government and the people were de-
sirous If closing the last Mexican war, and il
was got rid of in good time
The second war will be waged with much vigor
and enthusiasm at its commencement; and it
will require very skillful diplomacy to negotiate
a treaty Of peace that will not compel us to
adopt all Mexico as part of the Union Mexi
co will, perhaps, in this way, conquer US. But
if we do not consent to be absorbed by Mex CO,
or if We should become so tired of the war as t.
abandon it, after another series of victories,

1t will be recollected that President Tyler
sent for Colonel z Taylor and directed the
movement Of the troops upon Corpus Christi,
which led to the late war. At President Tyler's
table, the next day, Col. Taylor was compliment
ed upon his command, for it was jocularly re
marked that it might lead to collision with
the NJ xicans, an event which would certainly

PRICE OF KISS IN DIFFERENT CITIEs-Wm
l.. Hines kissed Mrs. Gorham, in East Boston,
the other day. She sued him for damages, or
value received, but didn't appear on the return
day, having been satisfied by cash payment
of $l5 This NAV be set down as the Boston
market price of kisses. The last decision in
New York was So, and in New Orleans So A
very valuable article, certainly; but luxuries
must be paid for. IN. Y. Herald.
The reason why Boston kisses cost more than
in other cities, is, that they are better. The
girls are prettier, sweeter, warmer, and more
delicious every way. Fifteen dollars Cheap
as honey, Boston Daily Mail.
The logic of our cotemporary is exceedingly
bad. The general judgment of mankind has
agreed that those kisses are the most valuable
which cost the least-that a kiss given away is
in worth and sweetness beyond all others. New
Orleans is therefore ahead of Boston in the same
degree that SO is nearer to nothing than S15.
But supposing kisses to be equal in value
which they confessedly are not-even then the
Crescent City is in advance of the City of No
tons, for that its fortunate masculnes would be
able to obtain just five times as many kisses for
the same money.
1t is reasonable isn't it that blue-stock-
ing prude way up among the icebergs should be
''prettier, sweeter, warmer and more delicious
every way" than one who grows up under the
very eye of the sun Let the Mail that com
mitted that stupidity come down and just take
lowed to commence his regeneration by kissing

Brooks and Col Fuller Of New York-they can
tell thing or two.
