Money keeps reaching this from Erzeroum,and
guns and ammunition cover the road between
this and the latter city. Would to God that Br-
fish or French troops be sent this way; without
them fear that the Russians will be more than

a French Duel.

A Paris letter tells the following story
y law student became rnamo.ed with young
la y, an artist, and was atfianced to her. He de
voted himself with great assidulty to the com
Peton OF his studies, that he might obtain di
poma which would make him honorable in the
estimation of his betrohed In one Of their con-
versatons,they got into an Argument upon some
abstruse point of law, or ethics or science, and
the discussion finally became so warm that she
found 1t impossible TO conquer her antagonist by
the force OF reasoning, resored to the drgameR-
tam JucuiH, and actually boxed her overs
ears. Her hot temper soon cooled and upon re
Election she shocked at the outrage she had
committed. that she insisted upon making some
suitable atonomant for the insult. The student,
however, assured her that he was ready TO over

hand that cutfed him. This only aggravated the
difficulty, in the estimation of the chivalrous
young woman, and separated the lovers further
than ever She declared she would never con-

The Re-opening Ct the CrYsta al Palac e.

We announced Yesterday the re opening, of
the New York Crystal Palace, or, some Of the
Thursday, papers call it, "Bamum's New Muse
um." The ceremonies attracted large crowd
but the military and civic procession from the
Park to the Palace fell short of what was expected.
The veterans of 1912 and several military com
pnnes were i'll the lines but the inclcmency of
the weather, 1t il said, prevented many citizens
from partieipatin in the outdoor ceremonies. 1t
was one o'clock in the afternoon when the process
sion reached the palace. When the ceremonies
commenced it Is said there were fully twenty
thousand persons in the building, which, by the
why, hn, been much changed in its internal APP
pearance. Baron Marochctti's nshupcly equcs-
tran statue of w ashington has been removed from
its former position under the dome to a less con
spclous place III the eastern nave land just III the
rear of the speakers stand, Gwynns imp has
been placed the middle also, and during the
eeremonl - in full play, throwing jet of wa
ter ut the rate of five thousand gallons minute.
The ode, written by VIM. Ross Wallace, was
sung by the Harmonic Society, assisted by full
band and was well received. MIR. Barnum, the
president Of the Association, then made the open
ing speech, which, ii Is stated was brief and APP
proprate. Towards the close, he announced that
the Association had instituted four services Of me-
dnls--one, gold medal of 5000 value, for the
mostvnuahle invention that shall be perfected be-
fore the first of Deer next, and which shall have
of three months. Second prize of gold med
al of $1,000 value for the.best work of an artist
besides two other series of medals, of Eve medals
EACH each medal valued at 100, for useful inyen-
tons III miscellaneous departments.
Judge Campbell made the next address, and
followed by Rev. 7. l.. Cuyler, and he by
Horace Greeley, one of the Board of Directors
who announced the arrangements made by the
Board, and expressed their desire that the differ
ent working classes should meet in the Palace,
en- separate evenings, TO listen to addresses.
Mr.. Greeley announced the receipt of letters
from Rev. Drs. Hawks, Potts, Tying and Beth
une, and from Prof Il. Sillimen, Jr, expressing
deep sympathy with the objects OF the exhibition
lie was followed by rtichard O'Gorman, who
nude most eloquent speech, and he, again. was
followed by Mr.. j. b. Bacon, Rev. Henry Ward
Bpcchcr and others.
The ceremonies concluded with performance
by band. Atnight, the Palace was again fill
ed, and speeches were made by NJ. Henry, prcsi-
dent of the Mechanics Institute; Mr.. sullivan, Il
delegate from the House Painters Society; Elihu
Burrit, the learned black smith Park Goodwin,
an the Rev +. II. Chaplin. Previous to the last
speaker, Madame Chome introduced and
sung song, as did also f. Meyer. Thus ended
the grand re Inauguration"

The proposition made in the United States Sc
nate by Mr.. Shde to empower the President 10
authorize private war against Spnin, attracts at.
tenton both at Washington and elsewhere. In
one respect the Project is an unmanly aud disre-
putab,e one, inasmueh as its object is 10 involve
this country in war with Spain 10y an indirect
proceeding The President Is first 10 take off
the restraints on private war aud declare the cont
meroe of Spain lawful plumber, and the eonsts IN
its possession open To the descent of ireebootcr.
such an act, we agree with the Evening Post ia
thinking. Is M hbgiious in il nature rs if the
government were 10 take off the protection which
our laws give the man accused of a erimr, aud
were TO proclaim immunity 10 those who should
rob him Of his property or hunt him down and
shoot him without u trial. The civilized world
has its own customs and usages of peace and
war, founded on honor and humanity; end il he
comes to respect them. Let the neutrality
laws be repealed 50 far Us respects Spain, aud
six weeks would not elapse before the two nations
would be engaged in direct hostilitcs. The on
ly manly and honorable course for our govern
meni-the only course for government which Is
at all sensitive the point of national Disgrace,
is to make war with Spain, if there be just aud
necessary occasion of war,-nnd 10 remain hon
esly at peace, If no such necessity has arisen
This hybrid state between peecc and war, in
which Mr.. SldelPs scheme seeks to place the
country, is simply trick of those who have not
the courage to propose open and diree hosti-
ties. Its object is to decoy the country into the
very measure which its coniriyers have not the
manness directly to propose, and To get the
of the United States erased from the list
of neutral nations.
