STRoNG WORDS IN 8ELGIUM.-The following re-
marks appear in Belgian liberal paper, the Jour
nal de Gond, in reply to the sneers ofthe UlramOE
tame journals, notably the Bien Public, which had
ascrlbed the sympathies expressed by the liberal
press of Belgium for the people of Central Italy
to the Vaccinations of the Red Republican sects {:
"The liberal press of Belgium applauds the pop
ulations of the Duchies of Parma, Tuscany and
Modena, and of the Legations, because it has not,
like the Catholic press lost the memory of the ori-
gin of our own nationality. 1t remembers that
the Belgian nation has arisen from a similar re-
volt, though violent one, than that of
which Central Italy is the theatre at this day In
fact King William reigned in Belgium bv yirtue
of the same right and the same treaties which gave
Tuscany to Ferdinand, Modena to Francis Parma
to Louisa, and the Legations to the Pope He too,
reigned by virtue of the right divine the right of
treaties, which denies to nations the right to dis
pose of themselves and freely to constitute their
own government. BY separating ourselves from
Holland, then, we accomplished in 1880 what the
Legations are in a fair way to do at the present
day. The declaration of the deposition of Plus
IX., proclaimed by the constituent Assembly of
Bologna, Is the equivalent of the deposition of the
House OF Nassau, proclaimed by the National Con-
gress of Brussels Both these acts have the same
characters both are the affirmation OF the principle
of the popular sovereignty as against the prlnci-
pie of the right divine. Garibaldi and Farini are
now displaying in Italy the same deeds whleh @ IN
Repium have done honor to the life of Count Felix
de Merode, NJ. Won Gerlache, and SO many other
illustrious Catholics.
"Belgium is the daughter ofa revolt. We have
not forgotten this. Far from 1t, we are proud of
the fact 1t is by tearing up the treaties of 1916,
bv driving away the sovereign whom they had Civ
en- ms. by Affirming right of popular sovereign
tv. and by defending it behind the barrieades
against the soldiers of the legitimate King, that
we have constituted the Kingdom of Belgium.
The days of September, which are now three
days of festival, were, in 1880, three days of in
surrection.'

ANEcDoTE OF LABLACHE.-Poor Labache was alb
sent-minded enough at times. One day the King
OF Naples summoned him to the palace. Lablache
obeyed, and stood waiting his turn of audience in
the 'drawing-room, which preceded his Majesty's
closet 1t was full of courtiers, who all knew him.
and locked around him to enjoy the brilliant con-
versation of the great singer, for Lablache was a.
thoroughly educated and intellectual man. As he
had bad cold, he asked permission of the gentle
men presentto keep his hat on which was, of course
instantly granted. The conversation was suddenly
interrupted by the appearance of an usher, who
told Lablache the King waiting for him. La
blache took up hat and walked rapidly towards
the Kings closet, which he entered bowing and
scraping, persuaded his manners were the most
courtly. The moment the King saw him, he roar
ed with laughter. Lablache blushed, and felt ex-
ceedingly awkward. "My dear LabIache," said
the King, "what in the deuce are you going to do
with the hat l see you hold in your hand?" 81
beg ten thousand pardons sire, really do not
understand your Majesty" 81 beg your pardon,
my dear fellow, for cannot see what use you make
the hat you hold in your hand" "Why-sire-
wear it," Labache, joining pantomine to speech.
attempted to put the hat on his head. The hat
in his hand struck the hat his head and for sew
eral minutes Lablache did not know what to make
of it; then he recollected how the mistake had
occurred, and begged the Kings pardon, but
the King was laughing heartily he could hear
nothing, and Lablache joined his Majesty's laugh

The BooT AND SHOE TRADE AT THE NoRrH.-It is
useless to disguise the fact that the boot and shoe
business is at present in rather an uupromsing DO.
sltion The trade the past year has been quite un-
remunerative, and all connecting branches are
now also more or less unfavorably affected in con-
sequence. The manufacturer of shoes has failed to
obtain a fair equivalent for his time and capital,
and in many instances no equivalent at all. Tan
and hide importers cannot sell except at a price
considerably under the cost of Importation. The
business is evidently out joint, and it is not sur
prising therefore that parties engaged in the boot
and shoe trade should favor meeting of the trade
at an early day, to adopt such measures as may
seem necessary in the present crisis.-Boston Cour.

ters addressed to the Emperor of Austria by the
Duchess, subsequent TO the declaration of neutrai
ty, the Emperor was acquainted with all the move
ments of the Sandman army, and the most advan-
tageous plan of attack. The Emperor is urged to
and to come to the succor of the Italian dukes,
chs allies, and the only supporters of the Austrian
dominion in the Peninsula. The safety of Aus
tria, adds the Duchess, ''is in the promptiude of
Its operations. If it waits, it is lost in Italy,

respondents in Paris, the person of the Emperor
Napoleon did not escape, the Duchess giving him
the titles of "ogre," and the greatest Tartufe of

BALLooNING AND THE EAsTERLY CURRENr.-The
natural inference from the fact that Mr.. La Noun
tain went almost directly north with his balloon,
on his last voyage, was that he did not find the
great eastern current, which he relies for a safe
passage to Europe But he insists in his published
account of the voyage, that the permanent current
IS there, and that he carried north only when
he fell below the eastern current. He says:
''We ascended about three thousand feet, so great
was our ascensive momentum, without varying ten
feet from a perpendicular line-the broad square,
with its thousands who were gazing heavenward to
watch our course, remaining still beneath our feet
After attaining this altitude the balloon struck the
northeastern current and drifted along with it
at about the rate of twenty-five miles an hour and
still ascending very rapidly. This current was one
OF great depth, as although we went up to the
height of three and half miles, we did not lose it.
After reaching an altitude of three miles and half
we took still more easterly course. As some Jour
nails have argued, Judging from the point at which
we landed, that the eastery current is not always
reliable, pause here to remark, that never found
it more so than that or Thursday afternoon
thought then, and still continue to think that had
L maintained an altitude of two and half miles
could have crossed the ocean in thirty-six hours,
and without using any more ballast than in making
an ordinary local ascension. 1t must be remembered
that it was when left this ever-reable stratum,
and descended into the local currents that we were
carried in northerly course"

STEALING CHILDREN IN PARIs.-We stated in a
paragraph copied from French paper a few DAYS
Hua, at the Tuileries, Paris. The Judge, as last
resort offered reward of ten thousand francs, and
recovered his child. letter from Paris says:
"The opinion of the Imperial Judge was from the
hrst that to eXtort money was the motive. He was
probably right. But it is well known that in Paris
system of child-stealing prevails other grounds
The existing matrimonial system, which limits the
number of children generally to one, or two at
most, has its Nemesis. Death not unfrequently
robs the parents of the only child they have allowed
themselves and to replace the void in their hearts

such as tampering with the nurse through a secret

have been stolen from the gardens of the Tueries,

they have not been recovered, enough has been dis

abduction

THE SUGAR CRoP.--The Louisiana Sugar Planter
says of the coming sugar crop:
"Results of observation in a section of the State

and the concurrent testimony of planters in other

the yield of this season will be less then that of the
last by over one hundred thousand hogsheads"
The crop last year about 440, 900 hogsheads.

Two CLAIMANTS FOR A CRowN.-A civil war has
followed the death of the late Emperor in Morocco
There are two claimants for the crown. The son of
the Emperor has succeeded to the ogreen turban y
but his right is disputed by his cousin. 1t appears
that when the Emperor, Adder Rahman, died, many
years. ago, his brother, Muley SOleiman seized the
the of the Emperor. Adder did not make a
fuss about it, but quietly submitted and helped his
uncle all that he could in the government. When
the uncle died Adder succeeded him peaceably.-
The uncle left four sons, the youngest of whom now
makes war upon Sidi Mohammed, the son and sue
cessor of Adder. Sdi upon being crowned, imme-
diately marched against the preender, and defeated
him in terrible battle. But the pretender, though
defeated, is not conquered, and as he is aided by
powerful and energetic sheck, the war will probably
continue for some time lnnnar

Mexican outlaws had not left the city, as was sup
posed, but were encamped near by, with large ad-
dtions to their force, and that another attack was
preparing-the finale of which should be the burn
ing of the city.
Large numbers of the people had fed in anticipa-
ton of the attack, it was feared there were not
sufficient Mexican soldiers to defend the place,
while of the United States troops there none.
The defenceess condition of the American residents
by the withdrawal of their troops, would probably
