VOTE OF LAST YEAR FOR MAYOR.
Total,
THE REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT.

The revolutionary spirit has begun to manifest
itself in Europe by the recent outbreak in Aus
traia. The late news from that place is to the
effect that the Australians had become tired of
excessive taxation levied upon them for digging
gold from the mines, and were determined to take
matters into their own hands, and to establish Il
republic. They certainly have chosen an auspi-
cous time, for the European war will demand all
the resources of the English Government without
turning its attention to Australia. Whether this
outbreak is mere bubble. which will burst and
pass to nothngness, whether it is deep seated
and general, is question, which with our limi-
ted information, it is impossible to answer: but,
everything considered, we are inclined to believe,
that the movement may be the means of opening
the way for general revolt, which will involve
other portions of England, and give the Govern
ment much trouble. We sec no reasons, nor can
wage any particular objections to Australia
becoming Republic. She possesses all the ce-
ments, has within her limits vast amount of
wealth. and her citizens composed of those
who entertain regard for royalty, but would
do much for the establishment of freedom
Should Australia be successful in her efforts to
throw off the English yoke, we may then be pre-
pared to hear Of the independence of Canada,
and various portions of the European Continent,-
in fact, we should not be surprised to learn that
even the masses of Europe had arisen in their
might and demanded a new order of things. n
revolutionary spirit once started is not easily SUBJ
dued, and if ever there was time for that spirit
to run riot, it is now. We should not weep if the
issue came tomorrow, for we believe it must
come, sooner or later, and for the cause of hu-
manity, the sooner the better.

INFAMOUS OurRAcE.--Yesterday morning, about
two O'Clock, some unknown rufain entered the
dwelling Of Mr.. w. S. Combs, through window.
The servant girl happening to occupy the room in
which he entered, raised the alarm, when he sciz-
ed her by the throat, and choaked her until she
could scream no longer he then loosed his hold,
and was looking about the room, when the girl
recovered and jumped out of the window, and
was followed by the sceundrcl who again caught
and choaked her most! severely. BY this time
the screams Of the girl had draised the inmates of
the house and the ncighborhood, and the villain
thought it prudent to retire. 1t is supposed he en-
tered for the purpose of robbng. l...-
This is one of the greatest outrages that has
occurred in our city. The girl is honest and up
right, and the villain who thus malreated her, is
deserving the severcst penalty of the law. We
hope he may be caught, and dealt with as he so
richly deserves.

changes Of weather; let no change, hot or cold,
keep you in doors. If it is rainy weather the more
need Of your going out, because you eat a. much
on rainy day, and you exercise less, that much
more remains in the system of what ought to be

transactions between John Cormac and A. Dubois.
in which the latter is represented acting very
mean part, Cormac has within week giyea three
severe horse whippings to Dubois,the last infcton
being so dreadful that the victims life is despaired

disgraced their manhood by making ne effort to
prevent it. Once, we. are credibly informed,

sheriff of Ramsey county was at hand, and might
easily have been called, had any one cared about
maintaining the peace. If the authorities and peo-
