WARS, AND RUMORs OF WARS.

lIlClC OOCbAo w " ooSN
iety felt in some quarters lest we should
be precipitated into a war with France
or Mexico, by the conduct of the fill
busters on our southwestern frontier.
But we do not partake of these fears.
Nations are not as impulsive as indivi-
duals, and do not strip for a fight always
when the word is given. The interests
of have first to be consulted,
aud the costs and benefits to be counted.
The action of the unauthorized party OF
armed men, having no connection with
the government, who sacked Bagdad,
cannot, under any circumstances, COM
promise our government, or be accepted
as u cause of wal by France, unless JUS
titled and sustained by the government,
"a course not at all likely to be pur-
sued. We believe Mr.. Seward who
said 1--WE are not going to have
a war" The empire of the United
States is peace-both at home and
abroad. Peace is the best policy.
And though We may indulge in a vast
amount of wartalk-it all signifies moth
ing. The welfare of the country de-
mands a long season of uninterrupted
tranquility. The country needs general
recuperation-it wants rest-it must re-
cover its exhausted strength, and we can
laugh at all fears of war. No nation on
earth feels like challenging us-and
there is no necessity of our throwing out
Il general and standing wager of battle
for any who may have the telnerity to
accept it. We cannot afford to become
the Don Quixote of nations, and wander
about the world rendering our services
to right the wrongs of struggling ma
tionalities =" but must employ ourselves
industriously in attending to u own
affairs, and cultivating the arts of peace,
1t may do we'll enough to keep a speck
of war always in the prospective,
however, for twenty years hence the
growing generation will be very war
like in feeling. The children born dur
ing this struggle will then have hair on
their upper lips, with their mouths full Of
strange oaths, and will be spelling for
fight anxious to seek the bubble repu'
tation at the lannon's mouth. The his
tory ofthe world teaches that each gen.
Grafton must have its opportunity to ex'
pend its pent up valor and exhaust itf
paintings for fame on the battlefield
and as we have given our present you'll
II benefit, it is not likely that we shall
be troubled any further on their &C
count. But twenty years hence a feas
of blood must be prepared for the Bay
ards now growing up. Therefore i
might be well enough to keep thu
French question on hand, till We need i
for the purpose of cooling down the hot
bloOded heroes of the future. We have
thus far been blessed with a war fol
about every twenty years since the dis
covery of America, and as it has beeniI
the past, so will it be in the future. On
thing is certain-we will have no wa
for some years to come.

gky~ FAMILY DYE COLoRs.-Among
the most popular and useful articles Of the day are the
FAMILY DYE CoIoRs manufactured by the well known
practical chemists, Howe 4 Stevens. So very superior
are these dyes, so easily used, and withal afforded at SO
low a price, that they are literally getting into every
body's hands, just as the praises of their merits are on
everybody's lips. Once tried, they become Indispensable
In many parts Of the country they have displaced all
other substances and methods of dyeing. We, without
any hesitation whatever, pronounce them the best dyes
ever manufactured, while at the same time they are the
cheapest in price. The ladies' are particularly delighted
with them.

The New York Herul,Is Toronto

with an important letter, dated June

A Monster Entcrprise.

Away, up in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains, SO high in air that water
and air lose their respective gravity,
and sticks of wood refuse to float on
IT'S surface, is beautiful sheet of wa
ter, called Lake Tahoe, by 1,50O feet
the highest body of water on earth,
ever nayigated by steamboat. Sur
rounded by mighty peaks, whose
submits are clothed in mantles of
eternal snow, while they look down
on valleys where eternal summer
feigns, this lovely lake seems beyond
the reach of civilization, and conse-
Grated to solitude forever.
Butscience has already seized upon
it as fit subject for another of her
triumphs, and a daring engineer, Col.
A. 81. Won Schmidt, of this city. has
determined to turn its vast volume of
water toa practical use. He has in
corporate6 company with vast
capital, and will actually commence
the work next month of tunneline the
mountains to draw its pure waters to
the California side. The waters are
to be turned into the channel of a
stream and carried over the hills
which skirt the valley of the Sacra-
mento, thence through canals among
the Placer mines, down to the level
OF the capital city; thence across the
valley towards Coast Range, and ulti-
>anately to San Francisco.
This enterprise would, if carried
ont, supply a dozen interior towns
with delicious water, of a purity un-
known elsewhere. provide the miners
with water to carry on their work
during dry seasons, irrigate thousands
OF acres OF now unproductive land,
making 1t to blossom as the rose, and
lastly, supply, for all timo to come,
the teeming millions who will inhabit
San Franc cisco.
It will take lifetime to carry ont
the plan in all its details, but Won
Schmidt, who engineered to compile
ton the Spring Valley Water Works,
by which San Francisco is supplied
with water from distance of forty
miles, is confident of its feasibility.
The route by which the water would
reach San Francisco is nearly 200
miles long; but nevertheless Won
Schmidt is thoroughly in earnest, and
as said, proposes to commence work
next month. To any man who has
scaled the dizzy heights OF the Sierra,
and seen the tremendous obstacles to
be overcome, the project looks like
the freak of disordered magma
tion, but the child may be already
born who will live to see it fact ac
eomplished. Quien Sabe?-Stt, Fran

IN Salem century ago exists to-day,
intensified and made more barbarous
by education and civilization. The
lighter the age the darker the deed!
The essence (spirituaD of concen-
trated creeds seems to tend surely
and rapidly to infidelity. No wonder
that hundreds Of churches are closed
for want OF members, that puIpits are
vacated, and that the houses Of pub
lie worship are being turned to other
uses. Unless an Apostle comes, what
will become of the church? Would
