The War in Europe.

Our latest intelligence from the valley ol
The Danube and The shores of the Black Sea,
comes to us heralded with shouts Of joy and
peans Of victory for the followers of the
Crescent, the Paynim worshippers Of a false
prophei, the blind devotees OF the sensual
doqmas of the Koran. We wish no harm
to the Turk, we feel no sympathy with the
Auiocrat but we think we can see in this
collision glimmering hope for popular lib
erty. How is this blessed boon 10 spring
fiom the clash of sciJniiar and the roar Of
artillery7 By what process can we expect
liberal institutions 10 grow up in any extent
out of.lhe success Of either of Two rival des-
pots
" A patient examination of the position Of
affairs leads Us 10 tho conclusion that these
early victories of the SULTAN are lorerun-
ners Of good for the popular side of power
in Europe. The exuliant Ottoman will
now fight with still more fiery zeal for
his harcm, his mosque and his Maeca
Shrine.
His snowy tents cover The plains Of lover
Moldavia, and bis Egyptian hordes, like
lOcnsts, Will swarm 10 tne noItneIn COMMITS
of Moslem doninions. In. the flush of vie.
lory, all the skill and discipline Of the Turk
i.h army will be redoubled with hope Of
further success. This is as il should b.,
the western power will withhold their car
ly actual participation in the field, and the
mastering myriads of the exasperaIed Gar
will have their prey. When the councils
of Constanlinoplr feel that their strength is
waning before the mighty conqueror, when
the gilded Crescent of their banners GENES
trailing back n is trembling capitol
in the blood d conquered Musselnan,
then will come lIle cry for help, and thai
portion Of the mighty drama Will be enacted
in which human freedom holds hcr.stake
Then will come the great battle we wist
to see sought, in which we hope to recotl
victories enough on the side of the CossaeI
40 shake the western thrones 10 their drcI
foundations. Here lies the hope of TN
people. ,g "a.
The old sagaeious waiehwork "Power
ever stealing from the many TO the few
which has often been made a hackneye'
catch to suit unhoIy purposes, is il

TO Judge for himself, and by the careful cul-
iivation Of his reasoning powers Uc enabled
to do so correctly Unfortunately it seems
to be the object Of most people less to aim
at truth themselves, and to aid others in
doing so, than to maintain themselves in
their actual opinions, and TO inculcate them
upon all who come within the sphere of
their influence and hence with an incon-
sistency that cannot but appear most strange
when we consider the seeming strength of
their conviction of the truth of their opin-
ions, they will not endure any inquiry into
the evidence Of their belief, but practically
insist upon its unquostioned adoption by all
whom circumstances have put in subordina-

indirect way, lay the foundation Of more
enlightened and enduring morality than any

To MAKE A CANDLE BURN Att NIGHT
A correspondent of an eastern paper gives
the following information on the " economy
of candles," which may be new and useful
to many of our readers:
When, as in cases Of sickness, dull light
is wished, or when matches are mislaid, put
finely powdered salt on the candle till it
reaches the black part Of the wick. 10 this
way a mild and steady light may be kept
through the night, by small piece Of cam
