The Wisdom of War.

A certain king, it is said, sent to another
king sayirg 'Send me blue pig with a
black tail, or else" TIE other, in high
dudgeon at the presumed insult replied, a
have not got one, and if bad" On
which weighty cause they went to war for
many years. After a safety of glories and
miseries, they finally bethought them that, as
their armies and resources were exhausted
and their kingdoms mutually laid waste, it
might be well enough to consult about the
preliminaries of peace; but before this could
be concluded diplomatic explanation was
first needed of the insulting language which
had formed the ground for the quarrel
"What could you mean" asked the second
king of the FIRST "by saying send me blue
pig with black tail or else-2" "Why,"
said the other, 81 meant blue pig with a
black tail or else soms other color" I" But"
retorted be, ewhat could you mean by say
ing, have not got one, and if l had? "
-"Why, of course if l had 1 should have
sent Il :" an explanation which was entirely
satisfactory, and peace was concluded accord
ingly.

The Alabama Senate was recently Occu-
pied with discussion of new rale, to pro-
bibit smoking in the Senate chamber when
the Senate is in session. One member
thought the Senate should become accus-
toned to smoke for in less than six months
they would smell much smoke Of sulphur
ous character, and 1t was well to begin on
tobacco smoke. The rule was finally with
drawn.
The 1860 wheat crop of Europe is estima-
ted as follows: France 19I, 422, ,248 bushels /;
Great Britain t45, 800, 600 bushels; Two
Sicilies, 64,37O 600 bushels; Spain, 1924
500 bushels; Austria, 27,735, 56s bushels;
Sardinia, 1876, 900 bushels. The crop in
the United States will not much exceed $780,.
OOO. 600 bushels. This is very unequally di-
vided among the States. New York and
Pennsylvania have raised nearly enough for
cousumption-Ohio and Missouri a small
surplus. The remainder Of the States, eX-
cent the following, have deficiency for con-
sumption. The crop of these States is es-
timated as follows: Illinois, 35, 600, 600 bush
els; Wisconsin 25, 600, 900, Indiana 16,000,-
600, Michigan 100000, Iowa 10000, 600,
Minnesota 5000, 900, California 5,5oo,o0O.
The Charleston Mercury contains the fol-

A st. Louis letter in the Salem Register,
dated Feb. 9TH, says: "Judge Bates has just
returned from a visit to Mr.. Lincoln. He
says: There is no such thing as secession /;

business and financial affairs but there Is no
such thing as secession or a dissolution Of the

The "Guarantees'' REQUIRED.

It remains, then, with the Republicans
10 say whether this fair and fOurishing
country shall be subjected to all the horrors
of civil war, or whether, animated by a
1indlier spirit, they will cast aside party
platforms and sectional prejudices and by
offering such guarantees as will relieve the
South from all apprehension OF being subject
ted hereafter to an aggressive policy, win the
seeding States buck to their old allegiance.

Why don't the Baltimore Exchange rec
Ommend the parties at the South to do
away with their platforms, ifit is so fearful of
the horrors OF a civil war ?" Remember
CONSISTENCY is a very valuable jewel.

On SATURDAY, At nOon Anderson was
brought before the Judge Of the Common
Pleas and discharged from custody on me
ground of informality in the warrant on
which be wss committed 10 BFanttord Jail.
Il will be seen that the discharge has been
ordered on two district grounds, FIRST the
warrant Of commitment recites tl.at Ander-
son stands charged, for thst he did ''wiliully,
maliciously, and feloniously, stab and Kill
one Senaoa T. P. Digges, Of Howard county
tphieh might only amount to Hdaslqaghte7 !
whereas, the Judges decide, that to come
within the provisions Of the treaty, the charge
must be ono Of MURDER. Second, the warrant
commits Anderson 70 the jail az Brantiord
Huntil he shall be discharged according to
law !" whereas, the Judges decide, he should
have been committed 'tntil surrender DC
made or until he shall be discharged accord
ing to law"
Anderson is now among his friends-but
he is still liable 10 Fe-arrest on documents
prepared more carefully than the last The
danger, however. is by no means what 1t Was
Il Is 70 be hoped that no second Mathews IS
TO be found In the Magistrscy of Oanada-
and if funhappily there was another such, good
care win, We fancy, be taken that Anderson
shall not be found until the intent and mean
ing Of the Extradition Treaty In regard to
slaves has been authoritatively determined.
By the discharge Of Anderson the writ OF
har6eas corpus Issued by the Court Of Queen
Bench of England has been rendered unRec-
essary and imperative. Anderson is no longer
in the custody Of any Of the parties to whom
the writ is directed, and therefore they cannot
carry him to England Moreover, the parties
who applied foC the intervention OF the Eng
lish Court have obtained the immediate end
they sought by thedischarge of the prisoner
We confess that we are glad that it is so. We
entirely sympathize with the feeling which
induced the application for and the granting
Of the writ. The peculiarly Of the case Of
Anderson would have justified great stretch
of authority that tended to save the unior-
tunate man from the vengeance Of bis enemies.
But il would be neither convenient nor con-
sistent with the independence Of the Canadian
people that the English Judges should have
the power to ignore our Courts and issue
their writs to our sheriffs and gaolers as ifw
had no Provincial Judges We presume the
legality of the proceedings, In the view of an
English lawyer, is not in harmony with the
RIG It of self government claimed by Canada
and fully conceded to her.-TorORto Globe.

CONDEMNED OUT OF THEIR OWN
MOUTHS.

The London Daily NelcS, Of June 18th.
publishes the following extract from pri-
vate letter written by gentleman in New
Orleans: "The condition o this country,
the now ripening fruit of the erroneous
ideas of freedom, obtaining here, Is distres-
sing to-day. and gives rise to the most
dreadful fears for the future. The press
has lent itself to increase and continue the
agitation, while tens of thousands of the
reasonable citizens deplOre and condemn it.
But all are kept silent BY the dread Of
"mob law" And how can. or viii, war
be carried on? For the first requisite,
soldiers. there is no sufficient or proper
material here. The agricultural pOpula-
ton, which in other counties. furnish the
fighting masses. is here, Of course, ineligi-
bic for the purpose, and an invasion from
the North would, without doubt, be fol-
lowed by a general uprising of the blacks.
Thus the supply of soldiers must come
principally, if not exclusively, from among
the populations of towns-day labOrers,
inferior tradesmen. know that the work.
houses in this city are cleared night after
night, and all men who can stand and
walk are enlisted, without inquiry or IN
specticn into their fitness for military ser
vice. No medical staff is as yet appointed
to any of the corps; the clothing provided
for these soldiers IS of the worst and most
unfit description. About three thousand
were encamped on the road to lake Pont
Chartrain, and had in fortnight thou

THE "HOW NOT TO 10 IT" POLL
CY.

The Cincinnati Gazette illustrates the
vexations of official circumlocution by the
story of an unsophisticated daIkey, who
waited upon a certain military gentleman
with a bill of Sl,l5, for washing done at
the camp hospital, which, after undergo
ing rigid scrutiny by the officer, was re-
turned with the following explanation,
which the astonished son of Ethiopia lis
tened to with an equal amount of wonder
and perplexity. "rhis BILL said the mil
itary gentleman, will first have to be sent
to the Quartermaster- General at Washing
ton, and he will report it to the Adjutant
General, who will lay it before the Secre-
tary of War for his approval. The Ad-
jutant being satisfied, it will be sent to
the Auditor of State, who will approve of
it, and send it to the Secretary of the
Treasury, who will send it to the United
States Treasurer who will at once dis
patch an order to the Collector of this
port to pay the bill" The darkey reliev-
ed himself of long drawn sigh. Then
massa," he remarked, dat last gemblam
you spoke of pays for the washing, does
he?" NO" continued the other, "he
will hand it to the Quartermaster; but as
there is no such officer here at present,
some proper person must be selected for
that purpose, who must be appointed by
the Secretary of War, under the direction
of the President, and his appointment
must be approved by the Senate. Con-
gress not being in session now, the COM
mission cannot be issued until after it
meets. When this commission is received
the Quartermaster will show it to the Col
lector, and demand the funds. You will
then call upon him; he will examine your
bill, and, if correct, he will pay it, you
giving your receipt" The unfortunate
Niger first scratched his head, and then
shook it. and finally said, 81 guess I'll
hab to let dis washing slide, but it am de
last job l does for Uncle Sam!''

Death of Charlotte Bronte's Father.

Charlotte Bronte's father is dead. On
the 9TH of June he fell asleep in the weird
old parsonage of Haworth. closing his eyes
on the hearthstone where the three lovely
women who made his name glorious sat
but a little while ago. dreaming inscruta-
bly, over the wonderful world within them,
and whence they passed one by one, their
fragile shapes seeming rather to fade slow
ly than die quickly, like the common lot
Eighty-four years old, and, but for that
faithful son-in-law Nichols, who looks to
us in reading of him more like a protrac-
ton of Charlotte's life than separate ex-
istence-but for him and the servants, all
alone! We may believe or disbclieve the
stories of his iron frmness; he may have
fired himself off in pistol cartridges from
the back-doOr step; he may have torn tuf-
feta gowns; be may have been a gloomy
companion for three motherless women,
and a gifted, reckless, unbalanced son
we forget all that now. He outliyed one
of the rarest families that were ever born
to man. All that We know of him is
known because he was the father of Cur
rer, Acton, and Ellis Bell, of Patrick the
younger, dead in his despairing youth, af-
ter a life Of wild, brilliant misery, for
which no philosopher in the tangled organ
ism of morbid nature could dream of hold
ing him responsible. The Rev. Patrick
Bronte was born on the Saints day which
gave him his name, in the year l777. A
brief but unutterably fascinating history,
with an end which saddens US, yet makes
us still more glad. 1t is impossible to
feel overbalancing regret at the death of
the last Bronte. We rejoice that there is
none living to bear that name which al
ways meant misery and spiritual unhealth,
while it portended genius and glory. 1t
is as if we saw a galaxy of glorious stars,
and know that while they shOne they were
burning in a bitter conscious pain. We
might sorrow for ourselves when they dim
med and went out in white ashes, but for
their sakcs we should rejoice. 1t is ben
efcent law of nature that no morbid
growth, however splendid. prOpagates it
self through generations of unhealth and
agony. And we would have no more Of
the Bronte's left us than dwells in their
immortal books.-Ne,o York Erening

will throw 80 balls in all directions with
as much velocity as the original, such en-
gines of death we're never before invented
