arose during the war of 1912 upon that point.
The government and the people were DESTROYS
of closing the last Mexican war, and it was got
rid Of in good time.
The second war will be waged with much
vigor and enthuslan at its commencement: and
it will require very skilful diplomacy TO negoti-
ate treaty of peace that will not compel US to
adopt all Mexico asa part of the Union. Mex.
leo will perhaps, in his way, conquer us. But

or If We should become so tired of the war as to
abandon 1t, after andher series of victories, then
we shall haze, after IN interval of a presidential
term, another, the third Punic war.

The Imaginati0n,

An extract Of letter from gentleman
of Williams College to the editor Of the
Springfield Gazette, ce,tifies to the effect
Of Imagination in producing palpable re-
suits, as follows:
An amusing incident occurred here on
Friday last. causing great sport. an ac-
count Of which may not be uninteresiing
to your readers. The Professor Of Chem
istry. while administering in the course oi
his lectures the laughing gas, in order TO
ascertain how great an influence the i'm
agina had in producing the effects con.
sequent on respiring it, secretly filled the
Indian rubber gas bag with common air
instead of gas. 1t was taken without sus.
picion, and the effects. if anything. were
more powerful than in those who had re-
ally breathed the pure gas. One COM
planned that it produced nausea. and diz.
illness; another Immediately manifested
pugilistic propensities. and before he could
be restrained. tore in pieces the coat oi
one of the bystanders, while third ex-
claimed, ''this is life. never enjoyed i,
before" The laughter that followed the
exposure of this gaseous trick may be
imagined.

Turkey and Russia.

The London Chronicle Of May 9th in
dulges in the following speculaions as TO
the trouble between Turkey and Russia.
The views Of this paper generally indicate
those Of certain circles in England Of the
first influence in diplomacy and foreign
affairs:
1t does not necessarily follow that be.
cause the ultimatum is declined, war is
inevitable, even between the parties con-
cerned. Even if the negotiations are &C.
tually terminated by Prince Menschikoff $
departure from Constantinople, the direc-
lion which affairs will take in the sequel
must depend on the action Of the other
European powers. Much may be expect
ed from the Cars prudence--nothing from
his forbearance. 1t is moral certainty
that he would not risk an armed conflict
with first-class State; and il is very doubt
full whether he would care to engage in a
single.handed contest with Turkey on
land. il the fleet Of any Western Govern
ment were observing an attitude Of expec-
fancy in the Byzantine waters. II Is ear
nesily to be hoped that. in a matter where
all the Powers Of Europe have not only
common duties and obligations, but the
most obvious and urgent common inter-
est, it will be found practicable TO ensure
so much of joint action as may be neces-
sary TO check the aggressive ambition OF
one. But if poltroonery. jealousy. or ig-
norance should succeed in impressing tina,
stamp on the policy OF the West which the
writer's oi the Moniteur and others have
been recently Gelineating, there is little
hope for Turkey. except in the resources
of a desperate courage. We are not pre-
pared to say that all would even then be
lost. or lost at once; but If the Sultan be
really driven to defend himself. by the un-
aided valor OF his subjects. against the on
set Of Russia. what gigantic imposiure
is the diplomacy OF Western Europe
what hollow hypocrisy the tenderness OF
the absoiuiist Powers for the honor and
interests of Catholicism

Behavior in Companv,

On the subject Of behavior in company,
Leigh Richmond gives the following ex-
cellent advice to his daughters:
"Be cheerful. but not gigglers. Be Sc
rious. but not dull. Be communicative,
but not forward. Be kind. but not servile
Beware Of silly, thoughiless speeches; al
though you may forget them, others will
not.
Remember that Gods eye is in every
place, and his ear in every company. Be.
ware Of levity and familiarity with young
men; a modest reserve, without affecta-
ton, is the only safe path. Court and en-.
courage serious conversation with those
who are truly serious and conversable
and do not 60 into valuable company with.
out endeavoring to improve by the inter.
course permitted you.
"Nothing is more unbecoming, when

that another part should be trifling, and
talking comparative nonsense to each 9th.
