"Iti is morally certain that Austria
will not be left alone to fight the bat
ties forced upon her by Prussia and
Italy. Rumors, apparently well found
ed, that Russia will form an alliance
with Austria, were current in London
and Paris for some days before the
sailing of the last steamer. But even
if Russia should keep out of the con-
flict, Austria may safely count upon
the cooperation of the German States.
Bismark, who is the engineer of all the
movements against Austria, is very
unpopular with the Germans, and if
the States of the Confederation should
not enter the war with Austria, they
are sure to fall in before it progresses
far.
1.-THE war is not by any means popu-
lar with the masses in Prussia. The
people have held meetings in different
parts of the kingdom. and adopted ad-
dresses to the Government in favor of
peace. The Minister of the Interior,
who had been deputed to reply to these
said that the king reluctantly perceived
in them ian absence of that devotion
which characterized the Breslau ad-
Dress" and added that, in view of
growing dangers, the king expects the
unconditional devotion of his people.
"Kossuth is trying to hamper Aus
tria by calling upon the Hungarians
to be ready for action. He advises
them to wait for the course of events,

Legion, and if chance turns up"

them. But the Hungarians seem to
be pretty well satisfied, and are more
inclined to aid than to oppose Austria. I"

~ If the telegraphic dispatches,
published elsewhere, are to be relied
upon, the European war is virtually at
at an end. 1t is to be hoped that the
news that We have from across the
Atlantic, is correct in this particular.
Enough blood has been split and treas
ure sacrificed, for at least the present
century. The Nations bloody dream
should be assuaged by the olive branch
of peace and plenty. Sceptred mon
archs and kings should be taught the
wholesome lesson, by an entelligent
democracy, that nations peace and
quietude is not to be disturbed by the
imbecile ambition of crafty and de-
signing men, who would wade through
the blood Of countless thousands Of
their slaughtered subjects, to a higher
round on ambitions bloody throne

BOWER, LATELY CITY EDITOR OF "THE EVENING

And hast thou gone from earth, mate of nv youtb
Whose friendly grasp was ever sired by truth
Whose 6eamIns ace eClpsed the deepest psil;'
Whose footstep usheled In peer of Worth?
Gone from the the daily haunts of busy life;
Gone from the coll Of y MSrdIy work and strife;
Gone, but among us what a lingering night
or bitter hast thou left behind
Grief, for the heart, that almost kills the mind!
GEORGE, thOu Wert ever modest In thy Ways,
Bear with me, M emory In my humb praise:
Bear with me, Truth for truth itself hath lost
Half OF itself by this its bitterest cost
BOWER is deadl Oh, sorrow for the day
That saw the light depart from Honor's clayl
Good in his thought in every action free;
Free as the wind that chafes the angry sea:
Free as the soul that fears man nor self:
Free in his heart, for sordidness nor pelf
Found never dwelling there. No foul deceit
In GOLFERS breast sought sympathy nor seat
Pause in thy aching, oh my weary heartl
Pause, for the good OF earth must ever part
From earth's unwOrthiness the ahora
Where angels with our friends PROUD record soar
Nigh to the Throne OF never-ending grace
There Is his soul assigned immortal place.
And now, as stranger eyes peruse these lines,
Tie laurel with the cy press on his tomb entUnes,
Back to its mother earth his form we give;
Back to its soil, from whence 1t sprang to live
Its little span OF life so full of Love,
. OF Virtu and the Worth that manhood prove.
