1t is really most remarkable fac. that the two
nations which pride tbemteges, among all others,
upon their veneraton for tho Bible, snoud 30 NJ

bhe story Of Nsb0ths vineyard, for which King
AhAb offered as fair price as Buchanan and his
OsteB6 colleagues intended 10 offer foe Cuba. The
Hebrew King took the proprietors life only when
fe proved obstinate and refused ~ part with what
was bis own. And still he could not escape the
punishment, while the 6llibusters Of England and
Ansfjcs-Lord Pslmerston and Bic. Everett in
slnded-b believe that tneir annexation schemes are
nOt Taught with any danger for their countries az If
any infrxctiOn Of the moral law could escape the
necessary expiation.

There is scarcely any doubt that England will
scOb overcome the mutiny 10 India still the pres
Tee Of the SepOys is gone for ever. Formerly it
vat tho boast of the English thst the SepOys were
esgal 10 whatever disciplined army and would be .
match to any future Russian invading force; bat now
we zee that the Hlndoos. even when traioed by
English officers and fighting for their ma tonaty,
are Invariably thrashed by numerically inferior Euro
peanS. This ksson will not be lost on Russia,
thOuah Alexander is not the man TO take up the old
pland Of attacking England either the Indus or on
the Say to COnstantnOple. He would rather, II he
could, develop the resources Of Russia by sbolshinz
seridum, but the task seems " be too gigantic for
hie BY no means extraordinary powers. A.P. C.
