TRUTH WILL Our.-In the course Of Hon. S.
B. Olmstead's speech in the Council on Mon
day, after showing up the traitorous conduct
of Haus, Brawley and Lemay, he turned to pay
A. M. Fridley, of st. Anthony, compliment.
Mr.. Olmstead remarked

this to have been the issue. Mai. Fridley camo to
him at Anoka, in this (Ramsey) Go and request
cd him to support him, stating his reasons, that
he was opposed to the fraud, and that he was op-
posed to the charter from the beginning, and each
days experience but strengthened him in his
hostility to the measure. That man now, after
his solemn pledges, was working shoulder to
shoulder with the most ardent friends of the
monster This, Sir, is how the bill passed, and

Cosr OF WAR.-The close of the year will, ac-
cording to the English estimates, show the war
expenses to have been 9l6 100000. Next year
they cannot, according to the same estimates, be
less than E20. 0.OOO,O 900. To meet this great addi-
tional expenditure, there will have to be fl0,-
100000 raised annually as long as the war may
last, either by an appeal to the money market, or
by doubling the fresh burdens recently placed up
on the tax payers. This is equal to one million
of dollars per week. How long can the people Of
England stand such a drain? 4r1 i F-
The extraordinary expenditures of the French
Government can hardly be so large as this, since
its military establishment, being constantly kept
on war footing, has not been so much increased
for the present emergency. Still, the outlays Of
the two nations, occasioned by the present war,
cannot be less than hundred millions of dollars
yearly. ---a,.-.g 81 - fs-..fsss, r5,a ..

PURE WATER VS.. ALCoHoL.-In the course of
his lecture on Water, Prof. Silliman gave his tes-
timony, as chemist against the use Of alcoholic
beverages. The only fluid proper to be taken in
to the stomach, and that may be safely used, is
pure Water. There is no deadlier poison than al
cohol, and the nearer the quantity imbbed is re-
duced to an in6nitesimal amount, the further off
is the drinker from its dangerous effects. 1t sup
plies no nutriment, and the human system must
be impaired by the introduction of such an ele-

The CARES OF A CROWNED HEAD.-In the course
of his last letter to the Courier des Etat Uns its
Paris correspondent, E. Gallairdet, has the fol-
lowing:
The Emperor has sought diversion from the
pressing cares which the prrvariuus situation Of
shut himself up-invisible to the whole world,
save his Ministcrs-in the Palace of St. Cloud
He who is ordinarily so calm, cannot now, it is
said, conceal his irritation. Nobody dares to
approach him. The Empress herself seems to
have lost that supreme influence with which her
grace, her sweetness, aud beauty have hitherto in
vested her. In the midst of continued and violent
rains. st. Cloud has become to her most drcary
abode. She desired to return to the Tuilleries,
but her august husband for thirteen days resisted
her wishes. To him, solitude was necessity
lie recovered his serenity and consented to return
to the Tuilleries, when he learned that Austria
had Joined the Allies. .... -.
