The UNITED STATES AND VENEZUE

THE UNITED STATES AND VENEZUE-
LA.-It is stated that some very decided
measures will be taken against Vene-
zuela, to obtain redress from that Gov
ernment, long delayed, for outrages
against American citizens. The origin
of this trouble is as follows:
In the year 1854, party of sixty
Americans, who owned and occupied an
island called "Avis Island" more than
300 miles from the Venezuelan coast
and who were quietly engaged in col
lecting guano, were forcibly expelled
from the island by order of the Venezu-
elan Government. their property sold,
and the proceeds appropriated by the
perpetrators of the outrage. Represen-
tations were Immediately made to the
Venezuelan authorities by the U. s.
Minister at Caracas, OF the lawless ma
ture of the seizure of the island, aud the
robbery of the property of American
citizens, whose occupation of the island
and prosecution of their business, had
been sanctioned by the United States
but these presentations have been
persistently disregarded, although fire.
quently and urgently renewed 1t is
rumored that, in case the peremptory
summons which our Minister has beer
instructed to deliver to the executive al
Caracas, be d;sregarded, a vessel Of
war will be ordered to continue the ne
gotation at the point where diplomacy
has failed, anu to make seizures of Ven
ezuelan property in satisfaction of the
debt due to our fellow-ctizens for dam
age and loss in consequence of the ac
of Senior Plaua.

IT was the first cold storm of the win.
ter, the beginning of that bitter snap
that fastened on us, like the bite of the
tiger, just before New Years l was
walking hurriedly up Chatham street,
in he edge of the evening, on an errand
that called me for the onl y time within a
year into that quarter of the city. As |
passed one of the many saloons, shows,
theaters, and temples of so-called pleas
ure with which that locality abounds, a
rough doorkeeper was pushing beggar-
woman out of the porch into the street
and the storm. She made no other re-
sistance than to turn despairing look
upon him as he thrust her along by the
shoulder, and to beg that she might
stand out of the cold awhile, for she was
almost perished. He hurried her on,
and the words that caught nv ear, as
they fell from her skinny lips and Kissed
through the wind and snow, were these,
"Well, may be you'll want to get into
heaven, and God will put you out of
that"
They cut me to the heart. MANY a
time had | turned deaf ear to the crv
for mercy, and if l had never turned a
poor creature out of doors when she
wanted shelter from the blast of winter
L had done worse, perhaps, in leaving
many a wretch to perish whom might
have sought and saved. And the time
will come, as sure as the days and wears
are passing, the time will come when
shall stand at the door of Heaven, and,
poorer than this starved beggar, l shall
ask to be taken in. | wonder if God
will turn me out in that day Then
came to me those sweet words of Jesus,
that fell from his lips when he sat on
Judea's hill, and the disciples gathered
at his feet, BLESSED are the merciful.
for they shall obtain mercy" Down
through eighteen centuries they have
come to me, and they sing at my hearts
door to-day with the music of heaven in
their silvery tones, and whene'er cup
OF cold water, or a loaf, or piece of
gold is mercy, if it is mine, it Shall be
gwen In the name Of Him who said, "In-
asmuch as ye have done it unto one of
the least of these, we have done it unto
me-"

has by this time taken the oath the constitution,
and he will be a constitutional ruler under const
tuition which makes him, TO all ntents and purposes,
an absolute King. The German constitutions, from
A to 4, however answer this important purpose
they help to lend expression, taa Sod peu, TO pub
lie opinion and by that means induce the Princes 10
moderate, either in substance, the measures by him
resolved upon, TO temper their execution by those
precautions which homeopathic physicians recom-
mend to their patients. 1t enables the sovereign to
check himself at the right time whenever he wishes
what is an essential element of happiness TO all
men in power--to be popular with the people.
Some Prussian editors who have misunderstood
the of that political apparatus, ascribed
to ii virtues which it never intended TO pos
sess, have suffered for their ignorance presump-
tion and have had their articles conscated As this
has again happened since the accession of the Prince
of Prussia to the regency it is to be supposed that
the occasion which brought about these restrictive
measures will be avoided in the future. But new
ertheess repeat that the foreign aud internal policy
of Prussia are nevertheless undergoing very con-
siderable change aud that the ministry itself will, III
all probability, be changed after the elections.
The Prince Of Prussia entertains certainly different
views in regard to German politics than those which
prevailed in the cabinet of his royal brother, and III
the matter of the transit duties has acted with great
promptness and military precision. Unfortunately
the government of Baden, Duchy, with less than
million Of inhabitants, raises now some objection to
the abolition of these duties or wishes them to be
coupled with the abolition of the river dues ON the
Rhine That opposition, however, will be overcome,
now that Prussia aud Austria, Hanover, Saxony,
Bavaria, aud Wurtemberg, have declared for putting
down the transit duties. +. j. q.
