A GENERAL EUROPEAN WAR-PREDIcTtoM OF A
FRENCH STATEsMAN.-The Marquis de Larcche-
jaqueln has published, in pamphlet form, in
Paris, what would have been in the form of d
speech in the French Legislature but for his i'll
health. The substance of his argument is that
Europe is on the verge of a general war. He
says:
There is no use in concealing the fact. France
has played too great Il part in recent times to
have any alliances on which she can count
Modern Germany does not love us, and rivalry
will soon be aggravated into hatred. Italy is
out of the question. The manner in which the
French are received there, and the Cover mcnt
judged and treated, does not allow of any illu-
sion. Russia suffered too much in the Crimea
and in Poland, and from the treaty of Paris, to
trust TO our alliance. England, having to choose
between the empire OF Germany and France can.
not hesitate. We are feared; all the great III
tions are jealous Of Us; and two of these great
nations created By our arms, or with our
assent. We have revived old and created fresh
grievances against us, and it will be long before
they are effaced Soon, in a European conflict,
we shall be alone This is beyond dispute, and
the policy we have to follow is obvious.
The immediate alliance of France with Aus
triai and with the nations now suhjugated by
Prussia, be thinks, may yet save all; and would
moreover, keep back those who, without that
alliance, are sure to become provinces of Prus-
sia.

How ROYALTY Looks AND Acrs.-The
City of Mexico correspondent of the New
York Tribune writes as follows of the Ems
peror and Empress of Mexico:
Macmillan wears "A white hat, white or
light cOlored vest, blue or black clothes and
patent leather boots. Everybody knows
how he looks by photographs, although few
of these do justice tn his intelligent face
and tall, handsome figure. His expression
is generally cheerful, and the whole face
beams with good nature and the instincts of
benevolent heart The Empress, when
ever | have seen her, was not remarkable as
TO dress, looking in that respect like any
woman OF refined and elegant taste but the
face once seen leaves lasting impression for
its blended sweetness of expression with the
hatclr of the high born lady. At the pal
ace halls, before the death of the King of
Belgium, her father, Carlotta used to shine
rcsplendent, dressed IN the most exquisite
taste, and by far the finest looking woman in
an assemblage Of three or four hundred .
The Empress is one of the richest Prncesses
in Europe, as she is one of the most highs
ly ccOmplished. King Leopold left her some
/ eight million OF dollars last Winter, aud she
has other resources amounting to some mill
| lions.

PoLITIcAL ASSES INDISPENSABLE TO LOCAL
GOVERNMENT The use of asses is not, however
merely propectve, says the London Saturday
RerieW. There is good deal of substantial and
tangible work which is well worth doing, and
which they alone can do. One of the parts for
instance, of the English Constitution, to which
English statesman of all parties attach the grtat-
est importance, is our municipal and local insti>
tutions. If these were entirely in the hands of
very intellectual and very refined people, they
would come before long to a dead lock. They
are, and must be in general, in the hands of local
politicians, or, as the late Lord Pnlmerston once
termed them, local tnkers whose taste and
mental capacity are not of the highest order.
Yet it is necessary to get the houses and streets
where asses live drained and paved and lighted,
10 raise and collect rates, and to keep all sorts
of people interested in the task of washing them
selves and ventilating their dwellings and their
thoroughfares. A philosopher is not the man
to do it. Mr.. Mill or ~ TOqueville at the head
of parish vestry, or little civic corporation,
would be useless and inefficient. What is wanted
is good, honest, bus lIng, fussy, lcca! patriot.

Soft music filled the balmy air,
Sweet voices Joined in song divine,
And as l trod the spirit shore,
Deep rapture filled this heart of mine.

saw its STREAMS and flowers rare;
And brighter than the MONDAY sun,

Gods own soft hand had placed a crown
Of star-like lustre on my head,
And kneeling at my Father feet,
thanked him that my cares had fed.
The angels were so beautiful,
So beautiful my hO,ne on high,

Oh, dream of Heavenl dream OF blissl
Mid earthly care and agony,
Come to me, when my way grows dark,
And let my soul find rest in thee.

PLEASURES OF MIDDLE AGE.-BetwCen
successful and unsuccessful there is the vast
difference Of comfort and ease. 1t is there
fore better to be successful though enough
of success is pretty nearly as good as feast.
And the same rule Of compromise holds
good in other matters. To take and enjoy
domestic affection without being too dcsi
rous OF life of passionate romance is one
obvious lesson that middle age teaches
Another is to be ready to accep. something
short of complete victory in contests Of Opin-
ION. At the outset OF life we all hope 10 he
able 20 convince and to convert the world,
or the public, or cur neighbOrs or at all
events our friends. We feel difficulty iu
acting with men whose views about relig,
ion or morality or politics differ materially
from our own. Ii we went through our ca
reer in such temper, We should fare as
badly as a man would fare 10 the thorough
fares oil LONDON who could not bear a crowd.
Life is made up as middle age discovers, of
giving and Of taking, and the first principle
Of the great art of association and mutual
help is to learn what is all important, and
what is sufficient, immaterial and secondary
to admit Of being sacrificed for the eud we
have In view. Whether it be in club, or q
partnership, or parish, or a public meeting,
or political party, the truth holds good
that to move with as little friction as possible
and the only way to lessen individual fric>
tion is for individuals 70 smooth down their
own rough edges.

IRISH ADvAYCTMENT.-The editor of the Alba
ny Argus, now abroad, gives an Unexpectedly
good word for ireland and its people The
progress among the people in wealth and edu-
the Queens College in giving instruction to the
people, and the rudiments OF learning are pretty
generally dffused. The rate of wages rises
steadily, food is cheap and abundant, and the
climate is free from toe extremes Of heat aud
cold that tell with such severity upon the labor
ing poor Of our land. The cOnvivial habits of
the better classes, for which the memoirs of Sir
John Darlington and the hardly less historical
stories of Lever, give us amusing accounts, have
given way to sober moods and less riotous life.
The teachings of Father Mathew have made
many disciples among the poor. The records
Of the police show less disorder, and the assizes
have fewer crimes of violence to pass upon"

DIsPROPoRTIOS OF THE SEXEs.-At the late
meeting Of the British Associciaton, Rev. a. W.
WOrthIngtOn read some remarks "Od the dSpro-
portion between the male and the female pOpu-
lation of some manufacturing and other towns, y
which in substance, stated that the proportion
Of females to males in the whole population was
los to 100, but where employment differed in
different towns and districts, and men or women
fOnnd ready employment one or the other pre-
dominated in number. In .he mining districts,
of which Newcastle is the centre, and ;hat which
Sheffield stood in Stafford, in the bIrrack towns
Canterbury, Winchester aud Colchester men pre-
dominate, while in manufacturing districts, like
Manchester and others, aud notably in Norwich,
there is an excess of women. In Nottngh mi
there is an extraordinary excess OF wom-n over
men, ard this was also the cIsc in seaport town s
like Plymouth aud Bristol, and it was still more
marked in Liverpool. 1t Is supposed that fe-
male labor in manufacturing districts will in
crease rather than dImllish, owing to its com
parative is attcn led byserious
cial and domestic evils, especially juvenile NOR
ttlity The rate ofiilcgiumacy was also high
where there was an excess of women, and in
NOtii gham that rate REL cIcd ten per cent. of all
the birJns. Il was suggested that the means of
amendment of this state Of things was to be
found in the promotion OF family life, and espe-
cialy by leaving the wife and mother to attend
to her domestic duties, aud employers Of labor
were urged not to employ married women.

SOUTHERN EMIGRATION TO VENEZUELA
The Venezuelan Emigration Company
has issued circular, setting forth the ad,
va6tages of emigration from the Southern
States to Venezuela. The scheme is under
the supervision of Doctor Henry Price. Of
Missouri, and is intended for the relief OF
such persons "as cannot remain in their old
homes under the domination of their heart,
less victors, and more especially for the poor
Confederate soldiers and their widows and
orphans" The shares of the company are a
thousand dollars each, but "thirty thousand
shares are to be given to poor Confederate
soldiers upon their giving an assurance that
they will emigrate and settle in that coun
try" The Thousand dollars to other classes
Of persons Nill entitle the purchaser Of a
share to twelve hundred and eighty acres of
land, which will certainly be very cheap

Brazil, and one Of the two who went and
returned has written phamphlet about

there, which phamphlet he is selling for a
dollar each "a very good price we should
say-for which the writer will perhaps reals
ize snug little sum, provided sufficient
number Of copies is sold, which is an impor'
tant consideration. Those persons who
went to Mexico, we understand, are al

back again to the Uuited States. Some OF
