WARRINGTON, MarCn 20.
Dispatches received at the State Depart
ment this morning, by the last arrival from
Europe, from our ministers at London, Paris,
Madrid and Vienna, allagree that war seems
inevitable, newspaper articles on the contra
ry notwithstanding. Mr.. Dallas and Mr..
Mason state that extensive preparations are
being made, and matters on every side look
warlike. Scarcely any thing else is talked
of, and this question absorbs all others.
From Vienna, our minister writes that Eu-
rope is on the eve Of an eruption. Compl-
cations thicken every hour, and great depres-
sion exists in every branch of industry.

A dispatch from Washington of the 28th
says it is not believed there that any fllibus-
tering expedition ct New York or elsewhere
meditates descent upon Cuba.
Government has been informed that Afri-
cans have been introduced into the country
to far greater extent than is imagined, the
practice being to land cargoes in small boats
clandestinely on tho Southern shores. And
the officials sey they are going to look sharp
ly into the matter. But we don't believe
they will do any such thing. II any little
mig should evacuate his masters premises,
We have no doubt but Buchanan would run
his legs OF after the varmint; but when he
undertakes to hunt slave-pirates, who are in
creasing instead of decreasing the number
of bondmen, it will be very deliberate and
tedious movement, and every step will be
we'll considered.
Dol. Lockridge, Fillibuster Walkers old
companion, is organising what he calls a
Southern and Western Arizona Emigration
expedition, which is to start about the middle
Of April.
The Washington Republican Association
are making preparations to celebrate the
birthday Of Thomas Jefferson.
Bowman, Superintendent Of tho Public
Printing, has purchased the Washington
Union establishment. A change Of name
is meditated. II would be . good idea, If
tho reputation Of the old one could in that
manner be got rid Of. But in doing the dirty
work Of this corrupt and dirty Administra-
ton, it would soon acquire new reputation
as despioable ~ the old one, we fear.
The story about Jefferson's meditating
descent upon Cuba with his famous feet Of
gunboats, set aaoat upon the pretended au-
thority Of Commodore Stewart, proves to be
a humbug. The Commodore denies the
whole thing, under his own hand. 1t was a
canard, gotten up in the interest Of the Ad-
ministration.
Richard Golden visited Dubuque on the
25th. He was presented to the Public School,
and made an interesting address before the
little folk.
The Wilmington On. o. Journal states
that man who processes to be weather wise,
gives it as his opinion that there will be no
rain during the whole month Of May. He
says the same thing occurred during the year
1859, and again in 1889. He might stake
his reputation for wisdom more safely on
any thing else than ON the prediction tina,
there would be no rain for month.

The Last Ledger story.

The teacher Of district school in this

the children under his charge as to what they
know OF various historical characters they
happen to meet with in their books. few

in the morning lesson, and those who had
anything to say about him were asked to raise
their hands. OF course up went ell hands

The Albany IN. " Statesman recently
gave sketch Of an interesting lecture by .
blind man, gravely adding, che spoke with
out notes."-Ex.
This blunder of inadyertence reminds us OF
similar one committed by Mr.. Richard
Rousseau, representative from Green or Or
ange county, some years ago. Mr.. Church.
man Was giving on exhibition one night du-
ring session Of the legislature, Of the pro-
ficiency OF bis blind pupils (himself totally
blind) in the Second Presbyterian church,
Some displays Of arithmeticai skill were
made, and the audience was requested by Mr..
c., if they desired to test the reality OF this
proficiency, to submit some questions Of their
own. MIR. Rousseau prepared one, and sent
itup, reading it, OF course, first. Mr.. Church.
man took the slip of paper, and commenced
repeating from memory the problem pro-
posed, but made mistake. Mr.. Rousseau,
noticing the blunder, walked up to the stand,
and corrected MIR. Churchman, reading the
paper himself, and carefully pointing Nth
his finger to the written words. A good hu-
morsd smile passed over Mr.. C.'s face, - he
felt the finger gliding along the paper in his
lMr. C.'s) hands, which the audience soon
noticed, and MIR. r. for the FIRST time got :
hint of his ridiculous mistake, in an uproar-
ious burst Of laughter in which he joined as
heartily as the rest.-[Indiana State Journal.

Blackwood remarks:
1t 10 said that Carlyle's style is easily i'm.

initiate that, man must have an equal gift
of Imagination. But the style we have been
commenting on, is not difficult. Our friend
Herr Botherwig Gan Anglicised Germany
brought up from his cradle upon mystical
and transcendental food, initiates it passa-
bly,. Take this excerpt from Botherwig:
"Thomas, knowing well the greedy cormo-
rant public is apt to take what grains of
wheat are offered to it thank lessly, and with
small thought or care for the labor OF the
winnower, does, with frequent iteration Clest

The idea Of Mr.. Walsh having been muir.
dered to prevent his giving testimony agains,

quarters, at an early hour Of the day. In
others IT was rumored that the late Mr.. Kew
who was killed by Sickles, possessed knowl
edge which placed MIR. Sickles and his wife
and some eminent parties, entirely within

possessed OF information, with still furthe,

How wine - WA n urscs ursd.

In the little, active and dourishing seaport
OF Cette, in the South Of France, and border
ing on the Mediterranean, the manufacture
OF all sorts OF wines, from "humble Port to
imperial Tokay," 10 carried on most extcn-
sively, without the juice Of the grape. The
imports to this busy mercantile community
afs inferior spirits, logwood and BRAZIL
wood, which leave in the form OF choice
French, Spanish and Portuguese wines, with
the aid Of sugar, vinegar, and other chemi-
cal admixture. To the merchants Of Cette,
it matters not that the grape crop fails; or,
rather, II does matter--for their wine rises
in price, and as the failure Of the grape does
not affect the price Of bad whisky, logwood,
de-, &C., the increased price Of their wine is
perfect windfall to them. Inferior malt
liquors-without hops We presume-are also
in demand for the manufacture OF choice
vince. Thus it is that the whole world Of
ideal wine-bibbers are systematically hum
bugged. But why should We enlarge on tho
subject? 1t has been 80 thoroughly ventila-
ted that none car plead .h:c!... ignorance.
The wonder 10 that any man can ask friend
to take glass Of wine with him without
laughing in his face-so well does he know
that what he calls "wine," from convention
al usage, is only palpable cheat.
AS we have already limited, these frauds
are NOT confined to Europe, nor to wine.-
They are universal and all-perv aiding, and
the strong arm Of the Law ought to be invoked
to suppress them.-[N. Y. Exp.

A French Joke.

The Emperor's sole consolation and amuse-
mentis derived from the society Of Viver,
the horn player, in whose admirable talent
for hoaxing and mystifcation he takes the
greatest delight. The musicians adventure
with his landlord. which is iust delishtins
us MI, has had the greatest success at the
Iuileries. Viver, like all artists, lived in q
garret, Of which be il not always able to
pay the rent. His late landlord gave him
warning, in consequence Of the slsepless
nights produced by the musicians horn
There was no help for it; out poor Viver
must 60, but not without his revenge. The
very day of his congo, he carried up calf
in lts infancy, and by the time his congo ex-
pred, it had grown almost into a bullock
The key was given to the proprief0ire, whose
amusement and CONSERVATION may be CON-
ceiyed. No means OF getting the animal
alive down six fights Of narrow stairs had
been invented, and SO tho slaughter was
compelled to take place in the garnet, to the
utter disgust of all the other tenants--lead-
ing to innumerable lawsuits against the
landlord, who is quite beside himself, and
threatens the destruction Of Viver In conse-
quence.
