Turmoil in Europe.

There is now little doubt that we shall
soon witness the breaking out of a general
war in Europe Prussia and Italy are
arming and preparing for great onset,
together or Independently, upon the pow
er OF Austria. France is backing up Ita-
ly, though there is as yet nothing to show
that Louis Napoleon means to enter the
conflict himself Austria alone seems
willing to keep the peace, and she con-
seuts TO disarm if the other powers will
do the same. But Italy and Prussia, both
bent upon aggrandizement, are determin-
cd to fight and we may look for the news
of the first belligerept act at any moment.
The smaller German powers nearly or
quite all sympathize with Austria, fear
ing that Prussia may swallow them up
Assailed on the northwest by Prussia
and on the south by Italy, Austria will
be severely harassed. Garibaldi has been
appointed to an important command in
the Italian army, and no doubt will soon
be heard from. Great Britain, while
watching every move with interest, still
stands aloof. She will take no active step
that prudence can avoid. Meanwhile,
the CONFUSION now imminent are telling
upon her financial condition, causing ap-
prehensions and disaster among all classes
Of business men. Some of the greatest
houses of London have fallen before the
storm, the Bank of England has practi-
cally closed its doors to borrowers, and
general dismay prevails. 1t is yet too
soon to know how our own country will
be affected by the coming war, of which
We are to be spectators rather than par
takers.

q Double Widow.

The following story of a charming Rus
sian French widow, is related by COR
respondent:
'In the great annual exhibition of pic
lures in Paris there is this year portrait
of lady, with the simple title of "Thc
Widow in the catalogue. There is ter
rible story connected with this picture
The lady is the Countess o., who
although only ri years of age, has been
twice widowed She is said to be of hum
bic birth, but when only Is years old her
great beauty attracted the attention of the
Marquis de D, who married her
On leaving the church, however, the
Marquis was assassinated by some obscure
rival, and the lady was left widow with
an immense fortune. The aaarqutse re-
tired to a convent, where she remained
till her twentieth year. She then made
a journey to various parts OF Europe, and
visited among other places, st Peters
burg, where one Of the most wealthy bQy-
ards of Russia placed at her feet his
heart. his diamonds and his millions The
marriage was celebrated iu the house of
the bridegroom's mother, in a remote part
of Russia, some distance from his own es-
tate The newl y married couple left for
their new hone in magnificent sleigh.
On the way they whore attacked by wolves,
and the Count, in trying to defend his
bride, made false step, fell out of the
sleigh into the snow, and was immediate
ly devoured by the wolves. The horses
mad with terror, dashed ofwith immense
speed, and did not stop till they arrived
at the Counts chateau, which was brill
liantly Illuminated for the reception of
the newly married couple"
