BURKE on CIVIL WAR.-What tho
great statesman and orator of England.
Edmund Burke said in Parliament. when
it was proposed in England in lT76 to
try Americas prisoners for treason, may
have some value now. On that occasion
he thus expressed himself: 7t iaai s4al3al
."Waris at present carried on between
the Kings natural and foreign troops, on
one side, and The English in America on
the other, upon the usual footing of ether
wars; and, accordingly, an exchange of
prisoners has been regularly made from
the beginning. If, Notwithstanding this
hitherto equal procedure, upon some pros
pect Of ending the war with success, the
Administration prepares to actoagainst
those as traitors who remain in their
hands at the end of the troubles. in my
opinion we shall exhibit to the world as
indecent a piece cfinjussiee as ever civil

The faith of the nation Is pledged for

the national reputation for generations.
Those, however, who know American
character best, and who are aware that,
except under excitement, they are the
most pliable people in the word, have but
little fear of the result
The La France says the French and
Eng ish governments feel no disquietude;
both have observed towards the United
States policy of reconciliation. They
have not ceased to receive from them the
most moderate declarations, and have no
reason TO believe any untowari events
will occur to alter their friendly relations.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
SAYS the Patrie narrowly escaped warning
f,r having published alarming news
about recruiting in the United States for
Mexico. and says the only correct fact in
it, previous statement is that Admiral
Didiot is going out to relieve Admiral
Bosse, and will not be charged with any
exceptional mission whatever and have
no other powers than those held by his
predecessor
The Paris Constitutional of tue Goth
says: "We learn that the Government of
the United States has taken measures TO
repress any attempts to effect enlistments
and put stop to any proceedings intro
duced with the object of preparing emf
grafton expeditions against Mexico IN
violation of the Federal laws Instruc-
tons to this effect have been forwarded
from Washington to the U. :. Attorney
General at New Yo,k, who at once took
necessary measures for the prompt exc
cution OF the same.

Burden of British Taxation upon the
annual Product Of the United Kingdom
Compare the following statement Of the
charge of the annual interest and ordi-
nary expenses of the United Kingdom
upon its industry, by which her debt has
been reduced less than $50 millions of
dollars in 80 yeSsrs, with the burden upon
Cur growing wealth in the demonstrably
practical scheme for exiinguishing ours
in p years from the close of the rebellion.
The British revenue pressing with an
az erage weight Of above 10 per cent. per
annum for above 80 years, ours declining
from less than s to less than per cent
IA the fonr years lSll14, the average

the relative per centage Of the revenue to

This is done to allow for any possible
new debt that may be incurred in the in

early as 1877, the productive industry Of
the Union would bear an additional fifty
millions of interest, and in 1885, no less
than 333 millions, without carrying the
annual charge of the total of such debt

brief essay on dogs. "Dogs in the lump p
says Joshua, " are useful, but they arc not
always profitable. The Ncwfoundlng dog
is useful to save children from drowning.
but you have got to have q pond of water
and children running about careless, or
else the dog amt profitable. There amt
nothing made boarding a Nufounlin dog.
Rat terriers are useful to kc.ch rats, but
the rats amt profitable after you have
kctchcd them The shepherd dog is use
ful tcw drive sheep; but if you havc to
go and buy a flock of sheep, and pay
more than they are wuth, just to keep the
dog bizzy, the dog amt profitable-not
much Lap dogs are very useful; but if
you don't hold them in your lap 'awl the
time, they amt. profitable at all. The
coach dog is one of the most useful Nv
dogs know NV; but yu have got to have
coach, (and that ain't always plcasant,)
or you can't realize from the dog. Thus
we see that, while dogs are generally use
full, there are times when they aint gen.
orally profitable"
