PROSPECTS OF THE WAR.

We have seen letter from q Papslan
gentleman, famous for his prominent con-
nection with many of the most stupend-
Gus continental financial operations Of the
day, and whose judgment, by the by, in
such matters is admitted to be hardly
second TO that Of any other man in Europe,
who writes that the current war is very
likely to be of very long duration.-its
termination depending almost wholly on
the fiat OF Nicholas, who cannot get out
Of it as matters now stand, without fight
ing itthrough without f1inching.- He writes
further, that England is beginning to be
pestered to know how TO levy her taxes to
raise the money she needs for her share
Of the contest; and that though the war is
very popular with her people, they are al
ready manifesting, each class and interest,
strong desire that the duty of paying
the piper shall be shifted from its own
shoulders on that of the others. He thinks
that the continuance Of the emigration
exodus and the present high rates Of wages,
backed by the contingencies of the war,
will operate very severely against the En-
glish manufacturing and commercial in
terest; whiletthe fact that the ports of the
Baltic and Black Sea must be kept in a
state of blockade for at least another sea.
SOB, will keep up the existing extraordi-
nary demand upon the agricultural pro-
ducing capacities of the United States.
According to his information, very little of
the recent enormous drain Of specie from
this side remains in England, where money
continues exceedingly scarce, the bank OF
England having raised the rate of interes,
to five per centum. He, Frenchman like,
hugs himself over the fact that while the
English banks are lamentably deficient in
coin, the never-failing demand for silks,
and satins, and bonnets, for the ladies.
has caused a recent increase in the vaults
of the French banks Of twenty millions
Of dollars in gold! He winds up with a
prophecy, that il we have no war in the
next five or ten years, the increase of the
United States in all the true elements ol
greatness and prosperity. will be well nigh
equal to the most wonderful stories related
in Eastern tales; being firmly Of opinion
that, after all, this country and only this
country is to profit by the existing state
of things in Europe Washington Star

Horrible Accident from Camphene.

We are informedthat on Monday night.
May 22d, three daughters of Rev. Mr..
Perry, Methodist preacher, living at FL
Dorado, six or seven miles from Harrods-
burg, Ky. were horribly burned by the ex.
plosion of camphene lamp, and that
there is very little hope of their recovery.
P. S.-Since the foregoing was written,
we have conversed with G. w. Craddock,
Esq, the uncle Of one of the unfortunate
victims, and from him we learn that the
whole three are dead, and were buried
in the same grave, on Wednesday. The
circumstances Of the whole catastrophe q
are briefly as follows: Mr.. Perry, his wife
and child, were absent from home, and in
Jessamine county, where he had gone to
fill an appointment. There were at home
Two of the daughters were grown-aged
perhaps l9 and II. The third was a
girl of nine years-the child of second
wife, and niece to Mr.. Craddock.
After supper on Monday night, while
the servant was washing the tea dishes,
and the oldest daughter wiping them, the
second daughter undertook to replenish
the camphene lamp by which they were
working, and called the youngest daugh-
ter to hold it. She took the lamp in one
hand. and held the top through which the
wick passed in the other. The wick was
still burning US before, and the lower par
Of it yet in the lamp, but she held the top
some little distance from the mouth
The other commenced TO pour the cam.
phene into it from can containing about
half gallon. By some means it caugh,
FIRE and exploded, covering them and the
whole room in an immediate blaze, and
saturating their clothes with the combus.

out at the door and plunged into barrel
Of rain water, by which her life was saved
although she is badly burned. The door
it seems, closed after her, and the daugh.
ters in their confusion could not open it
They then went through the parlor and
out at the hall door, and ran about sixty
yards to their father's store, screaming
and enveloped in flames that completely
covered their bodies, and extended at leas
| three feet above their heads. There, ane
near there, some persons came to thei
assistance. and enveloped one in blank
ct, another in quilt, and another in
web of linen. But was too late to sav,

Turkish Honesty.

A Christian, wandering through the ba.
zaars, wished to buy an embroidered hand
kerchief OF Turkish shop-keeper. He
asked the price. "Seventy-five piasters.' .
"No," said he, aware that il was usual
among all traders. whatever their creed,
to ask at first more than the value, s'that
is too much-I will give you seventy
and, as the dealer seemed to nod assent,
he counted ou. the money. But his sur
prise was great when the bearded Osmanli
gravely pushing back TO him twenty pias-
ters. observed: "This is more than the
Just price. Ii is always the custom here,
to bargain over thing down to its just
value: and. as fifty piasters is my proper
price, those twenty belong to you"

The Ohio Bank Cases.


The Cincinnati Enquirer, of the 30th
ult., contains very able article on the
subject of the Ohio Bank cases, recently
decided in the Supreme Court Of the Uni
led States. In the article alluded to, that
paper reviews and animadverts with much
severity upon the anti-republcan, and
monstrous decision of the Supreme Court
in these cases-a decision which aims a
deadly blow at the State sovereignty OF
Ohio.
The Enquirer, after examining the case
at length, and demonstrating the mon
strous absurdity of this most iniquitous
decision Of antiquated, imbecile, "silk-
gowned fogydom," says:
"Now we come to the turning point OF
all this state of affairs: The banks revolt

legal process. They went into the local
Courts. the State Courts, and finally goi

portion welded to the antiquated doc

cedent Of predecessors in gowns. The
decision-a portion dissenting, thanks to
the genius OF the age-was against the
Constitution, the people who framed it.
and the laws based upon it! Too mil
lions of sovereign people had solemnly
deliberately. and dispassionately resolved
that they wanted the character of their
laws and institutions changed, and they
had done il in the majesty of what they
claimed 10 be their natural prerogative
Fine men-aDiser men?-vetoed their SOW

power-that a charter, or license, under
which bank rags are issued as money. is q
CONTRACT, and no right exists with the
power that gave such license to revoke it
that it is sacred right, must not be touch
ed, and is stronger than the power tha
created it!
Is this the doctrine Of the nineteenth
century? Is this Republicanism?"
gThe article in the Enquirer conclude:
with the following strong and impressiv.
language addressed directly tc the people
Of Ohio:
"Peop7e of Ohio. you see where go,
stand. Your own highest Courts has made
decision, wholly foreign to the spirit
your constitution, which leaves your prop
erty and energies. under this edict from
Washington, wholly without mercy. Yo,

rOn the 93d ult., great excitement
was created at Baraboo, Wisconsin, in
consequences Of about fifty females pro.
ceeding to the Wisconsin House, and sci
zing and destroying all the liquors Of the
establishment. They next marched to the
saloon of Peter French. but, meeting with
resistance, they desisted, until number
of men interfered, some in favor and others
against the movement. A scene OF vic.
lent excitement ensued, which induced the
Sheriff to read the riot act and order them
TO disperse. They finally retired, but in
the evening held meeting and resolved
to put an end to the liquor traffic in the
Village.

Death Of aFanny Forester"

We briefly announced this event on
Saturday; it occurred on Thursday last
She was the widow of the late Rev. DR..
Judson. Missionary 10 Burmah. and was
about forty years of age. Her maiden
name was Emily Chubbuck. and she early
commenced teaching in female seminay
at Utica, where she wrote several poetica
contributions for the Knickerbocker Maga'
zine. In 1914 she commenced writing fol
the Mirror, under the name Of Fanny For
rester, which gave her high repute in lit
erary circles, and in l847 she was mar
ried to the Rev. DR.. Judson, making his
third wife. and Immediately sailed for In
dia, where she endured great priva,ions
She has since suffered much i'll health. bu

Know N0thingS.

pamphlet, purportin2 to be an expose
of the secret order of "Know Nothings,"
has recently been issued in New York
The Herald gives synopsis Of the work.
which for the amusement and gratific alton
Of the curiosity Of our readers, we repub.
lish in condensed form, as the entire ar
ticle would be rather long for our columns.
The author states in the introduction
that the objects of the association have
never been made known, as many Of the
"Know Nothings' themselves are un aware
OF the ultimate objects of the Order.
The officers are dressed in revolution ary
and Indian costume. The candidate is
hoodwinked and string tied around his
tongue. After certain questions asked and
answers returned, the conductor with
draws the FOOLS cap from the eyes Of the
candidates; and the Captain Mum stands a
little on the left with an uplifted toma.
hawk.
The candidate, with lolling tongue.
choaking throat, and distended eyes, gazes
around. and in addition to the figures di.
rectly before him, is struck with ludicrous
yet painful amazement, on beholding the
room filled about him with the most indie.
scribable images. Every man of the as.
sembly has on the FOOLS cap coming down
over the eyebrows, and tapering back al
an angle Of forty. five degrees, about eigh.
teen inches in length. Every man has the
forefnger of each hand in the corners o
his mouth, and with broad grin on his
face, tugs on the corners Of his potato-traI
to see which can produce the most horri
BILE grimace and exhibit the deepest guttu
raj cavern with the longest rows Of bat
ivory.
The candidate then proceeds to max.
oath to a string Of the most absurd at
tempts at fun that we have ever seen. On,
clause is sufficient:
"To the true and faithful Performance,
of all of which pledge my most pertina
cious logos, binding myself under a pen
atty no less than having my boots draw
off oser my head, my hair twisted into
cord nine feet long. the skirts of my Goa
cut into forty mine strips, and in this unfor
tunate plight suffer myself to be rode on
three cornered rail nine feet long, over tn
railrood track of Hamburg rocket, at tn
rate Of ninety miles per hour"
