THE UNITEB STATES ASp RUsAk.-Wc have
many times pointed to the destiny of the United
States and Russia, and have foretold the day
when they will be the two most powerful na-
lions in The world. The ilea Is travelling :;
we notice that Lord Stanley, the new colo
NAL minister under Lord Derby, said in his
speech TO his constituents that unless some I'M
forcseen events take place, America and Russia
will, one hundred years hence, perhaps even
fifty years hence. be numerically the most pow
crful empires on the globe"
The moral that Lord Stanley draws is that
France and England should remain united in
order to Withstand these two growing Powers.
We sincerely hope the alliance may last fifty or
hundred years; but Lord Stanley himself must
sdmit that il don't look very like IL just now.

A DIas,aiGcent Libel Suit-FernsxadO Wood w.
Greeley q Co.-sevcn Hundred and Fifty
Libels In One Batch.
One of the most magnificent libel suits that
has ever been instituted in this country, is
shortly to be brought against Horace Greeley
& Co., the proprietors of the Tribune. The al
legged i;bels were published i'll the Tribune in the
course of the three or four years toat Mayor
Wood was in Office, and include many charges
against him both in his public and private
capacity.
When the Mayor was in Office he did not feel
called upon to notice these publications; but
now that he has retired from all political ex-
citcr..nts, since the recent election, he feels
obliged, out of regard for the reputation Of
himself and his family, to demand complete
and thorough investigation, which will result,
he is convinced. in complete vinincation of his
character in public and private life.
In pursuance Of this resolution we are in
formed that Mr.. Wood has secured the services
will contain no less than Sten hundred and fifty
distinct ALPHABETICALLY charges of swindling.
thieving, forgery, and other opprobrious offences,
and founded upon certain remote commercial
transactions which can be easily explained
The array of counsel in the case is one of the
greatest ever known at this bar, and the parties
will be proceeded against by criminal indict-
ments az well as in the civil courts and thus the
whole matter will be thoroughly investigated.
1t will be remembered also in favor of Mr..
Wood that, during the recent develope-
ments of fraud and corruption by half a
dozen committees of the pure and simple"
Corporation, not one single charge has been
made against the integrity and honesty of Mayor
Wood. 1t follows, therefore, that the charges
against his public career in the Tribune origi-
mated in the malice and spite OF Horace Greeley
q Co., and that his private character will be es-
tablished by the proposed legal investigation.
1t is for this reason that this great libel suit
is brought at this time. The indictment on the
criminal side will be drawn against Horace
Greeley d Co., but will contain the names of se-
veral individuals alleged to be proprietors of
the Tribune, including Charles A. Dana, VIM.
H. Fry, George Ripley, George n. Snow, +. j.
Ottarson, Bayard Taylor and several other OBJ
scure persons, to the number Of thirteen, who
generally use Horace Greeley as the visitors at
Baden Baden use donkey-to ride up and
down the Black Mountains by turns.

DR.. Bellamy.

New England used to be full of traditions
of the odd sayings Of DR.. Bellamy, one Of
the most powerful theologians and preach
ers Of his time One or two of his sayings
circulated about US in childhood. For ex-
ample, when one had built FIRE of green
wood, be exclaimed:
Warm me here? I'd as socn try 10
warm me by the starlight on the Nsrih
side of tom bs-stone!"
Speaking of the chapel bell on Yale Col
lege, he said:
sits about as good bell as a fur cap
with sleeps tail hung in it."
A young minister who had made himself
conspicuous for a severe and denur cia;ory
stvle OF preaching, came TO him one day to
inquire why he did not have more success.
"Why, man." said the Doctor, can't you
take a lesson of the fisherman! How do
you 90 to work if you want to catch a
tryut, You get little hook. and fine line
you bait It carefully and throw it in as
gently as possible, and then you humor
your ish tilf you get him ashore. Now
then you get great cod hook and rope line
aud thrash it into the water, and aawl out
bite or be damned!"
The Doctor himself gained such rep,
utation as an expert spiritual fisherman
that some of his parishOners, Pike expert
enced odd trout. played shy of his hook
though ever so skiIfully baited.
sWhy, Mr. A. said he to an old farmer
in his neigh5orhood, 'ihey tell me that yo'
are an Atheist Don't you believe in the
being of GOd!'
No. said the man.
But, Mr. A., let's look into this. You be
