FRENCH AND AUSTRIAN WARs.-Within the
last seventy years there have been five wars
between France and Austria on the continent
of Europe. On the occasion of the first war,
in 1892, when Prussia and Austria were
leagued as invaders of France, the latter
country called out, by conscription, for its
defense, ons million two hundred thousand
men, By this war Austria lost territory and
influence in Germany, but gained that foot
hold in Italy which was confirmed to her by
treaty at later day. The next war between
the two countries began in 1899 and culmi-
mated in the humiliation of Austria at Ma
rengo and Hohenlinden. Another war,
which broke out when Napoleon became
King of Italy in 1904, resulted in another
triumph for the French at Austerlitz. A
single campaign in 1909 witnessed the fourth
defeat of Austria, when she was again COM
pelled to accept such terms of peace as
France dictated. But her day of final tri-
umph came at Waterloo, where the great
allied powers overthrow the first Napoleon
forever.

Lo, THE Poor EDIToR.-One of our Eastern
exchanges, the Vest Tennessee Argus has
ceased to exist for the want of patronage.
It's editor says that when he commenced its
publication, nearly three years ago, he made
it Democratic paper; not from principle
however, as he very frankly owns, for he was
a Whig, but because he thought Democratic
paper would be better patronised. The lib
eral support promised him he never got.
One hundred was the sum total of his sub
scribers, at dollar year each; and about
one half Of those acere from the opposition side!
The editor adds, that if it had not been for
the advertising patronage and job work, he
would have been head over heels" in debt
half clothed and half starved, and not a
FIVE cent piece left with which to buy "gin-
ger cake" After this touching statement
he bids his Democratic ''friends" an affection
ate adieu, and announces his intention here
after to publish Wing paper. Let his ex-
perience be warning to all editors who are
ssprone to wander"

PLEA FOR DECENT LANGUAGE.-The S. F.
Herald, paper which always practises the
decent propriety which it commends, laments
the prostitution of political discussion by
the use of vulgar and slang language, per-
sonal invective, bitter denunciation of indi-
viduals, and gross peryersion oftruth. The
Herald says
The morale of people may generally be
gathered from the tone of their public press.
That is the criterion by which we are judged
abroad as well as at home; and the alarming
generality with which journal abuse and
coarse invectives are flung out by portion
of the California press betrays the sure and
certain decentralization of that vast engine
which admittedly wields potent influence
over the public mind, and mirror-like reflects
the moral proclivities of the public TASTE
Vulgar and depraved tastes crave the use OF
vulgar and depraved language; but the pub
lie writer who offers incense at its loathsome
shrine foolishly loses the influence he might
otherwise exercise over the refined and cul-
tivated intellectualities that govern society
and give laws to the country. 1t should be
the pride and duty of the public press to ell
evate the ideas of the uninstructed and vul-
gar, up to the level of the pure and intelll-
gent; to cultivate a taste for undefiled Ian
guage, sound argument and correct elimlna-
ton of principles.
The hydraulic press., 1859-06-25

The Bee thinks it is somewhat strange that
when Christian nation goes to war, no
matter for what object, the rulers thereofare
sure to invoke the blessing of the Universal
Ruler upon its own arms; and, consequently,
His curse upon the deeds of its opponent.
And there is no exception to this, from the
robber of the world and the murderer of
millions, to those who fight in defense of
their affairs and their homes.
The Bee also thinks it is time that nations,
when about to make war for the purposes of
personal aggrandizement or ambition, should
cease to insult the world by calling upon God
to assist them in their villainy.

How TO TAKE LIsE.-We notice going the
newspaper rounds an article with this rather
startling caption; but it bears no relation to
De Quincey's "Murder considered as one of
the Fine Arts" nor does it even afford direc-
tions to the would-be suicide how to shuttle
off his mortal coil. 1t simply teaches how
to live instead of how to die. This is WELL
People are sufficiently instructed already in
the art of dying prematurely. Even without
railroads and steamboats, they can manage
to find short cuts to the next world. Some
thousands every year take the Whiskey Cut
OFF; others prefer the longer by-path of To-
bacco; an immense army crowd through
Gluttony Lane; many females let out their
souls through their sozes, and others of the
same sex take the roundabout way of Grim
oline. Heated rooms, impure air, personal
uncleanlness and insufficient exercise, all
are well patronised avenues of quick transit
to the next world. Only few desperately
brave mortals take the nearest road to eter-
nifty, which is opened by the magic of strych-
nine, prussic acid and cold lead. If life is
the burden and spiritual incubus that it has
been called in every generation, nature has
bountifully provided means by which we can
anticipate the later release she has decreed
for all; and of these mankind literally avail
themselves.

DID SHAKESPEARE STUDY LAw?-Lord
Campbell says he did, and has written
book to prove it. To settle the interesting
question, which is not new one, the spirit
of Shakespeare himself was lately appealed
to. Professor Mccoy, of the Albany Law
School, stated that during his first and only
visit to medium" he put this question di-
rect =" Shakespeare, did you erer study law2"
The answer was raped out, by the 'spiritu-
ar' alphabet, "Y-e-s." He then asked,
'sWith whom, and where z" The reply was
spelt out letter by letter, as before, "D-a-v-i-d
C-o-n-g-e-r, B-e-r-k-s-h-i-r-e."

NApA VALLEY is not far from forty miles
long, and varying from one to six; its aver
age breadth is about three miles.-Several
small valleys put off from it into the hills.
The lands have been mostly bought from the
grant claimants and are owned by substantial
farmers. They are largely Western people,
Missouri being fairly represented. Ex-Gov-
ernor Boggs of that State is a resident of
this valley. The farms are in high state of
cultivation and the land is very productive.

SHAKESPEARE and Calico were both born
in 1864. the year in which Luther and Calvin
and Roger Ascham and Michael Angelo died.
One left us the most wonderful creations OF

worlds of which before the human imagina-
ton had only dreamed.

foUTH.-Some people are always signing
over their lost youth. They love to speak of
childhood as being the paradise season of
existence, from whose sunny skies and inno-
cent delights they were driven by sin and
time-guardians grim who now prevent re-
turn. Such persons enjoy not the present as
they should, nor cast hopeful glances to-
wards the future. Their gaze is retrospect
i've, and their song-'I would | were a boy
again." That sounds very pretty in concert
halls, warbled by beautiful women, or by
gentlemen with rich tenor voices and comes
very well from mouths which were born
with golden spoons in them. Under almost
any other circumstances the song is a pre-
tense and mockery. What, exchange this
full ripe prime, glorious with the fruitage of
years, and crowned with great capacities, for
the green period of infancy with all its
weaknesses and petty miseres? Give up
our knowledge of nature limited though it
be, our love for her. our sweet affections, our
mature ideas, sympathies, delights, aspira-
tions that lift the rapt soul heavenward-giv
up all these for the rattle, the hoop, the ball,
the uninformed instincts and passions of
childhood? AS well might the full-blown,
odorous rose sigh to be bud again, or the
gorgeous butterfly, futtering and cleaning
in the sun, wish to resume its cArysalis form
in the damp and mouldy earth.

There are thousands in this kingdom who

ling to live for it, This is great difficulty.
The most ignorant, blind, and superstitious
pagan upon the earth will die for what

to us. What man will suffer for his religion
is no proof whether it is true or false.

Beg The Cincinnati Gazette says some
two years ago, one John McDougall eloped
with Miss Jacobs, whom he soon after de-
serted. He made himself scarce for a
couple of years and then returned. Imme-

brother of the betrayed woman, who, with
out any words, went home and got his gun.
He then confronted McDongall and told him
he must either marry his sister or die
Upon refusing to do the former, Jacobs shot
him in the abdomen. wounding him seriously
but not fatally. Jacobs was arrested.

Our Vincennes Correspondence.

DG- We learn from some of our exchan-
ges that our friend A. T. WHITTLEsEY is
spoken of for the Office of Secretary of
State. His claims will be ubmitted-along
with numerous other aspirants-to the De-
mocratic Convention. The Democracy will,
we doubt not, look to the Pocket for
success in the next campaign. If. the
" Pocket" is their main dependence for sue
cess it becomes them to put some man on
their ticket who is popular with the Democ-
racy of that section, and would add greatly
to the local strength of the party. We
think Mr.. WHITTLEsEY is just the man for
the place spoken OF, and we are sure lie
would do an amount of hard work to
achieve success for his party that few men
in the State would equal. He is answering
in his allegience to Mr.. DOUGLAS, and if that
gentleman's friends have control of the next
convention, as they assert, they will do well
TO nominate Mr.. WHITTLEsEY for Secretary
of State. -t' t-

ably received by the public and the National

Indianapolis may be chosen for the next

we trust the good people of that city will

hospitality which friend Bollman, of Bloom

Indianapolis is the best supplied with hotel
accommodations OF any city of its size in

all who may attend the Convention unless
the outside pressure is overwhelming. We
