The battle of kings and aristocrats IS
now being fought at Sevastopol, in which
civilization, commercial freedom and re.
publican liberty have but an adjourned in
terest. There could not have been select
ed a better spot to expose to America the
the limits of the power of all the monarchies
engaged and to assure US of the little we
have to fear from any or all of them COM
bined. And since Cars and Emperors
have 1t in their power to make war-demons
Of their subjects, it is good for the world
that the "Hell of battle" should devour
them-that the Russian hordes who threw
themselves upon the citizen soldiers of
Hungary. and the fratricidal fends who
murdered their own tcompatriots. women,
children and old men in the streets of Par
is and throughout all France. should be
engaged in one mighty massacre of each
other. BY the time the bloodhound mill
lion shall have been slaughted. the red re-
publican representatives throughout Eu-
rope will have matured action. The tele-
graphic lightning that breaks on Europe
the overthrow of Louis Napoleon. will
start the revolution at Vienna, Berlin, Ma
pies. Rome and Madrid. In view Of the
vibrations that already notify US of the
rousing of that great leviathan on which
thrones are set-the people-it is well to
look to the opinions of the active managers
of the now well organized Red Republi-
can movement in Europe. in matters affec-
ting our own interests. OF one great point
we are happily certain; any change win
do us no harm-most of the existing gov
ernments of Europe being intensely hos

This country never had a more malig-
nant foe than the Dutch Frenchman, Louis
Napoleon. And the English government,
civil only from prudence. never fails on the
apprehension of revolutionary action in
Europe, to use its machinery TO fomen'
sectional agitation in this country. 'sTo
set the Yankees by the ears" so as to
keep their thoughts and sympashies away
from the European people, is favorite
stratagem ofthe British Cabinet.

THE PRAIRIE BIRD.
Sweet bird. thv soft and thrilling song
Hath walked spirit tone. i
That in my soul hath siumbered long,
But answers now thine own.
O., in the soul sweet music dwells,
Yet needs the magic sweep, rs
To thrill its chords and weave bright spells
Alr holy, pure and deep. aI
Thy song was sweet and breathed of home
A name. alas too dear.
For there it seemed the sky's blue dome
Was brighter still than here;
o And stars that smiled in sweetness down,
It seemed were brighter too. 81
And e'en that star call my own, q
Weeps not such holy dew.
And flowers, too, though bright and fair,
Are not as those I knew, - oft}
Whose fragrance filled the mild, pure air,
In places where thev grew.
find sweet flowers in woodlands wild,
With rrre and odorous breath,
But not like those that, when child,
, Were in my careless wreath.
Thy land is bright, sweet bird, know
It's softly floating clouds
Are tinged with hues of RICHEST glow,
When morn with splendor shrouds,
The glad young earth with orient's ray;
Or ere, with rosy light,
G1ides softly in to close the day
With ebon key of night. @
Yes, 'tis bright with its lovely flowers,
It's high and san-clad hills
Sweet, with its birds in breezy bowers,
BY softly gliding rills;
Pure with its air on southern wing.
So gently hov'ring near. s7s1f RI
Yes. yes, but still does memory fling
Ger me bright spells and dear.
love thee. bird, with thy swee-toned song
That wakes such gentle chords.
Whose silent music floats along
In spirit Whispered words.
Then sing again thy warblings sweet,

Such songs rs make our souls rsn..t
Its echoes sweetiv dear. - H

STATE REFORM School FOR GIRLs.-Ihe
Commissioners appointed to select a spot and
consider plans for the new State Reform
School for girls-to establish which 800 600
additional raised by private subscription
have made report No site has vet been
fixed upon, although about forty proposals
have been offered, none of which has yet been
accepted most of the sites being within Is
miles Of Boston, which the commissioners
consider as TOO near the capital.
With reference to plan of the institution,
commissioners propose some departures from
that adopted in the State Reform School for
Boys at Westboro, Instead of a single large
ediiice to ACCOMMODATE all the inmates, thew
they propose three or four separate buildings
adapted to receive about thirty girls in each -
This arrangement is regarded az more iudic-
eious for girls, inasmuch as something like the
family and parental system could be adopted.
This would be favorable TO females on account
Of the domestic habits which IL 10 desirable 20
encourage, and which might in a measure be
realized in this way, and because of the in
door occupations of the sex.
The cost of suitable houses would be SlO.-
300 each, if built of brick. II is desirable 10
have four as commencement, to accommo-
date about l25 girls. A chapel and house for
superintendent, are also proposed, the former
TO cost $4,000. The funds at present availa-
able would only admit of the erection of three
houses, but with an additional app opraton
Of $4,000 fourth building could be had
Aud ultimately the commissioners look for
ward TO the necessity for six or seven houses,
to receive some 200 girls.

ALEXANDER 1.-THE Paris Journal des De-
bats presents the following view of the prob
able influence of the accession of the new
sovereign on coming events in Enrope:-
"The new sovereign of Russia was initial
ed, at an early age, into the affairs of the En-
pire, by the Emperor, his father; he was
present at all the councils; he was invested
with situations which gave him frequent OPP
portunities of rendering himself useful to the
army and pleasing to the youth of the schools.
Whenever the Emperor Nicholas Quilted the
capital, he left the supreme direction to the
government of his son, and, in short he had
taken the utmost pains to prepare him to be-
cOme'his successor. The Grand Duke Alex
ander, the heir to the crown, is very popular
Ill Russia he is beloved and esteemed by the
people. He will not exercise the great au-
thority of his father, for he does not inherit
either his hauteur or his intlexibility. He
will rather please, as the Emperor Alexander
l. did, by his mildness and his affability, and
between the uncle and the nephew there is
very great similarity of character in various
ways. The new Empress is also highly spo-
ken OF, and her elevated judgment and con.
cilating manners are much extolled. 1t is
thought that she will exercise a salutary in
fuence over the Emperor. Public opinion in
Russia attributes to the hereditary Grand
Duke policy different from that of the EN-
peror, and particularly a more pacific one 1t
is affirmed, either correctly or otherwise, that
the prince has not always approved the CON
duct followed for the last two years by the
cabinet of st. Petersburgh in the Eastern
question, and that he regretted the mission of
Prince Menschikof to Constantnorle, and
the invasion of the principalities. 1t is i'm
possible to foresee even the immediate conse-
quences of the death of the Emperor Nicho.
las, but we think the event will augment the
chances Of the establishment Of peace
The Emperor Nicholas was himself an obgta-
Gle to peace. He had been reproached with
the excess of his ambition, and with the
means which he sometimes employed to salts
fly it. Notwithstanding his protestations. all
the responsibility of the war was thrown on
him, and he felt the deepest resentment at it.
The struggle, therefore, became in measure
one personal to him, and that obstacle to peace
has now disappeared. 1t may, therefore, be
hoped that the relations of the adversaries of
Russia with her new sovereign will be more
easy than they were with the Emperor Mich
olas, and that the conferences of Vienna will
open under auspices favorable to the re-estab-
lishment of general peace"

FROM AUsTRALIA.--An arrival from Mel
bourne has brought further particulars of
serious conflict between the gold diggers, who
had resisted the civil authorities and the troops
which had been ordered out to enforce obed-
fence, the Lieut.. Governor having proclaimed
martial law within a certain district A con-
siderable number of persons had been killed,
among the insurgents who had taken up arms.
A letter from a correspondent of the Mel.
bourne Times SAYS:
About four o'clock, on Sunday morning, the
military surrounded the camp formed by the
armed diggers at Eureka, in which there were
200 men. A body of mounted troopers fred
over the heads of the diggers, and then the
troops poured in repeated volleys, which were
returned by the diggers. After firing about
ten minutes the insurgents pulled down their
banner-the Southern Cross-and surrender.
ed. The troops Immediately ceased firing,
and took their prisoners; 1913 prisoners were
taken, and about 26 killed. A large number
Of tents in the vicinity Of the battle field were
burnt. At the time of my leaving q D. m.
yesterday alarge number of persons had been
arrested; among Others, Mr.. Seekamp, of the

1t is a hard work to say, but the sharp

A lady, well known in the charitable world,
has lately declared that this winter has given
her five hundred dollars worth of hard ex-
perience; for, of five hundred dollars sent to
distribute, she is not sure the one has been of
more good than in iury. Our Visitor, Mr..
Bowen, has recently carried off large COM

ceiyed from the Ward Committees more soup
