ity that he has secured. If not the eventual
cooperation of Russia in his plans, at least
her neutrality, so long rs thc contest is
confined to France and Austria, but mate
rial assistance to be rendered by RUSSIA in
the case that Prussia and the lesser Ger
man States come to the aid of Austria
The probabilities appear to favour the sue,
cess of Louis Napoleon if the war should
be limited TO a conflict single handed with
Austria.
What plans have been hatchcd in the
brain of Napoleon the Third by his foster
ing the War spirit in Italy, aud taking up-
on himself to be the orbitcr Of her'destinv,
is among the secrets of the future. That
he intends to render Italy truly indcpcn-
dent, under a Confederation of States, no
one can believe who has read in propcr
spirit the story of IS life That he enter
tnins the ambition of placing himself in
the position of real Protector of Italy, Civ
ing King Emanuel the nominal headship
OF the Italian States as his yassal, is not i'm
probable. This, if effected, would be fame
enough for any ruler in France. 1t would,
however, be far short of the project impu-
ted to him, of wishing to revise the entire
map OF Continental Europe and pushing to
the Rhine the limits of the French Empire
10 give the Italian States an independent
status would be to accomplish Italian uni
tyand nationality to such an extent as would
allow them to modify their internal condi-
ton without foreign intervention, rcpudia-
ting alike Austrian domination and the
schemes leading to anarchy of Mazxini and
his compecrs. This is the only solution of
the complication Of italian affairs that is
probable.
Should Louis Napoleon limit his views
to the liberation of Central Italy from the
aggressive policy of Austria, it would not
dlSplcasc Russia, from the iugratitude of
the former in not coming to the aid of the
latter in the Crimean war, while it will meet
with the sympathy of the English people ;
but were he to go beyond this hnit and
seek to reconstruct the geographical boun-
darlcs of Continental Europe as fixed by
The Treaty of Vienna, it would lead to a
general war, in which England and Russia
would be compelled to take part against
France, having declared that that treaty
shall be inviolate. So we may conclude
that Louis Napocon's scheme embraces no
thing beyond cifceting by French arms the
glory of having given to Italy National
existence i'll fact as well rs in name. Ire

Louis Napoleon's Proieota.

One of the most pcrpleXing of the pha-
scs presented by the conduct of Napoleon
the Third, is the contradiction it appears
to offer to TIE uniform policy of his reign,
asa monarch ruling by virtue of popular
opinion. He made it his boast that he
was placed on the throne of France by the
votes of six millions of Frcnchmon. He
has cvinced his tact and disccrnment hith-
erto in following, if not anticipating the
indications of the general sentiment of the
French people How, then, is it to be re,
conciled with this maxim of his rule, that
he is seeking to plunge France into war,
which may become OF indefinite duration,
and which is adverse to that sentiment |?
How happens it that he hazards not only
his popularity, but the tenure of his pow
er, by cucountcring the risks by which his
uncle was wrecked and lost his throne p
If any fact in history is certain il is that
the First Napoleon had to yield to his i'll
starred destiny when public opinion in
France no longer enabled him TO recruit his
armies by new conscriptiens,
That France, having enjoyed the bless
ings of that peace which is associated with
public order, is not now willing to commit
them to the chances of war, is notorious.s 4
The only ISOLATION which meets the problem
is that Louis Napoleon, il bent on hostili-
ties, hopes to crush Austria and libcrato
Italy speedily, and thus, by winning sue.

The keowec river ran of old,
When first the sun began to beam;

And then rs now, it ran down stream
No mortal saw its primal tides,
No fords across it's sluice wcro set
1t washed the hills it yet divides,
And then as now, its waters wet
Lonely II held its dashing way;
Its waters turned no miller's crnnks,
Or through old stills, chccrcd human clay,
Nor Pickens stood upon its banks.
1t was stream, nor deep nor wide
AS Amazoninn waters are
but no one ever saw il dried,
. Since God with water wrote il there.
Atlcngth tho fish began to swim
And play within its crystal tides;
Upon it birds did skip and skim
And i'll it deer did cool their sides.
The Indian sped his light canoe
Upon its face, and saw below
Another boat and Indian too,
In bright transparent waters go.
The whiteman came and took the rule,
Drove deer and Indians for away.

The Gamblers Duel,


On the evening of the 18th of June, 1915
the steamboat Bob Roy started from st.
Louis to New Orleans with full crowd of
passengers. Immediately after getting
under headway," to adopt favortc back
woods phrase, one person attracted univcr-
sal attention. BY the annoying eagerncss with
which he cndcavorcd to make up party
ut cards Indeed his oftrcpcatcd and per.
scvcring efforts to that end became insult
iaig and uncomfortable; and yet his appear
ancc was such as to deter the rest OH board
from administering the chastiscmcnt he so
richly deserved. He was huge mass of
mighty bones and muscles, with swarthy
features, bearing the impress of many a
scar; piercing black eyes that seemed to
possess the power of blasting the beholder
cold, cleaning eyes, such as make the mem
CRY painful; rank, luxuriant coal black
hair, immense whiskers and moustachc.-
The savage-looking figure was habited in
the costlcst clothing and adorned with IA
profusion of jewelry, while the outline of
several mulderous weapons was plainly dis
tinguisllablc beneath his gaudy vest and
superfinc coat Nor did he need those to
make him an object of terror. A connois-
eur in the science ofgymnastics would have
confidently pronounced him a match for
any five men Oh deck, without the aid of
lead or steel.
:At'len6tb, after many failures, be pre-
yaileei'on wealthy young merchant, of
Natchcz. to join him in game of poker
Ihey sat down by small table near the
bar, and were soon in the most pcrilous of
all excitement, of which the two ailurinr
ingredients are vanity and pride ofindvii-
ual skill, and the uncertainty of general
hazard. At first the stakes were small, and
the run of cards seemed wholly in favor of
the merchant; but presently they bet more
freely, and gold eagles and hundred dollar
notes were showcrcd down on the board
with extravagant ardor-and then the cur
rent of fortune changed--ebbrd from the
young merchant and flowed to the profes-
sionrl gambler. As usually happens in
such cases, his want of success only piaucd
and maddened the loser, wlo sought to re.
cover himself by venturibg such desperate
ventures MS could not but strengthen and
confirm his ruin And thus they continu
ed during that long summer night Thc
intensity of their excitement became equiv
alcnt tp pinsanity. Every nerve was strung
every energy of the brain was taxed to the
utnost-thcir teeth were set as those of
antagonists in the tug of moral strife the
sweat rolled from their brows like great
drops Of rain The passengers formed
circle around the players, and looked on
with thatiuterest which such extraordina-
ry concentration of intellect and passion
never fails to inspire, even i.i the bosoms

The Seeds of Consumption.

The terrible mortality caused by bron-
chltls, pneumonia and consumption which

iy-a hundred thousand people every year,
being one fourth of the entire mortality
from more than hundred other causes in
addition to themselves, should make us

damp weather with their legs bare, submit
