O'MAHoSY ExPLAlNs.-O'Mahony has
made an interesting exposition concerning
the recent demonstration Of several Fe-
mans on the border Of Maine. He has
published a lengthy letter to the Brother
hood, in which he frankly and candidly
admits that the whole affair was a ludi-
crous failure, which accomplished nothing
except the entailment of a heavy draft
upon the Fenian treasury. Mr.. O'Ma-
hony is entitled to much credit for the
honest confession which he makes with
regard to his own short-sightedness end
incompetency in the management Of Fe-
MAN affairs. 1t is not every man who has
the frankness to admit his own ineficiency
and want Of judgment. But O'Mahony
candidly says "there have been some
grave mistakes made by myself and others
connected with this affair" He need not
fear contradiction upon that point, and
he probably a%pprehends none. He evil
IDENTIFY regards himself as a failure, for he
says that in the future he shall be found
ready to do his duty as a private in the
Fenian ranks. The history of the fzzle
in Maine, which Mr.. o'Mahony fully ex-
plains, is of itself sufficient to prove that
the said leader has acted wisely in making
a full confession Of his inability. a.

THE MAP OF EUROPE.

The terms OF peace proposed By France
md Prussia respectively, are 50 widely at Va
rance thnt there is not even a possibility Of
compromise between them. Napoleon hns
thrown OF the nationality mask, aud now
stands forth as tho enemy OF nationality In
Germany, If not In italy also. He proposes
that Germany, instead Of being one nation,
shall be divided Into three, viz. Prussia,
Austria and q new Confederation consisting
Of all the old potentates, somc Of them on
new territory aud some on old territory With
change Of boundaries. There can be
nothing more ragged md dijointed
than the map Of Germany which
Napoleon would make, unless It lie the
map which the treaties OF 1915 made. FruAsta
is to exchange her Rhine provinces for Schles-
wig -Holstciu, the two Nesses and Brunswick

ed soyereigns. Aud this is all Prussia Is to
gain by the war. On the other hand She Is

lion. The other powers Tor wcakncsses) Of
Germany arc to remain unchanged, except
that Bavaria and Baden are to do little
trading, and two small provinces on the
boundary Of France are to choose whether
they viii be French or German.
In opposition to thus arrangement Prussia
proposes TO remain in the German Confedcra-
tion, and have the leadership Of it, and TO
put Austria out entirely; and also to annex
Sch1eswig. .Ho1stein and portion Of the ter
ritory which she has conquered. Napoleon

At about three O'Clock yesterday afternoon

Il Is Mr. kipsley's daily practice to take

from the room. Just before the robbery yes
terday, he had placed the box In the drawer,
and secured 1t In the usual manner. After IN
absence Of few minutes In the front part OF
the office, he returned, and found that the
drawer above that which contained the box,
and which he had also left locked, had been
unlocked and removed, and the drawer below
thus reached, and the box taken out md car.

that the thief entered boldly through tht
