The Soul Made Visible,

Every one knows that in every human face
there is an impalpable, immaterial something,
which we call expression, which seems to
be, as it were, "the soul made visible. D
Where minds live in the region of pure
thoughts and happy emotions, the felieities
and sanctities of the inner temple shine out
through the mortal tenement, and play over
it like lambert flame. The incense makes
the whole altar sweet; and we can understand
what the poet means when he says that
"Beauty born of murmuring sound
Shall pass into her face"
On the other hand, no man can lead gor-
mandizing, sordid, or licentious life, and still
wear countenance hallowed and sanctlled
with a halo of peace and joy. Around such
great manufacturing towns as Birmingham in
England, or Pittsburg in this country, where
bituminous coal is used, you will find the
roses in the fower-beds and the strawberries
and grapes on the vines blackened and de-
fled by a foul deposite from thousand
chimneys Thus do obscene, profane and
irreverent men scatter their CRIME and stencil
upon the innocence and beauty around them,
but most deeply and foully upon themselves.

Battle of LudOWa.

POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE BATTLE
From La France, July s.
| Let us not dissemble the fact-the situation
is serious one for all Europe, and ought
even now to awaken all her solcitude. At
the outset of the campaign, when incon-
siderats partialities hurried certain minds to
take part with the Prussians, and some with
the Austrians,, we resisted the impulse, and
attached ourselves strongly to the only inter
est that ought to direct French polcy-that
of France. But now, when the fortune of
war seems to open for Prussia destinies which
she herself had not even dared to hope; when
all the obstacles that seemed likely to arrest
her ambition are being swept away; when
already established in the Duchies, holding
in her hands Saxony, Hesse, Hanover and Bo-
hemia, she may see in perspective, through
the mirage of victory, that dream of German
empire which appeared only chimerica
fancy-at present the situation of France is
modified and her duty commences.
The Emperor, in a noble burst of patriot
ISM had declared that he detested the Treat
les of 18l5-all France detests them as much
as he does Well, then, the most dangerous
thing for us, created by the Treaties of 1875
is a powerful Prussia. On the day when
that Power, breaking through its limits, shall
extend from the North Sea as far as our from
tiers, there would be not only a maintenance
of those treaties, but even an aggravation Of
them In what ID most menacing to ourselves.
Prussia doubtless understands all this, and as
fortune has favored the ambitious enterprises
she has been meditatiug SO long, the general
feeling of Europe would keep her in check
Prussia, sovereign in Germany, substituting
her supremacy for the Federal compact
which kept the German forces in equipoise
would be SO great a danger for France that
no administration could possibly accept it..

Fitzpatrick i'll Chile and New Jersey.
From the News. TO-.

1t is Mr.. Secretary Seward, doubtless, who
has caused to be published in the Albany
Evening Journal statement that upon ex-
amnation the painful reports regarding the
conduct OF General Fitzpatrick, Minister to
does well to give the least possible publicity
to this affected exculpation of Minister who
has made use of hisdip lomaiic robes to intro
duce strumpet into the society of the virtu-
Gus women OF. Chile; but it would have been
wiser for him to defer the publication of any
exculpation until time enoughlhad elapsed for
a messenger or the mails to have gone to
Chile and returned, even if Minister Kilpat-
rick were the only witness whom the Secre-
tary of State should think fit to consult. The
brigader, possibly not fit witness. fifty
should at least, have been a possible witness.
He is neither. But if he had been, his testi-
mony would have been worthless. d. s3s.z
Minister Fitzpatrick has not only been gull
ty in Chile of the indecorums charged upon
him first and explicitly by Colonel IIalpine
in the New. York Citizen; he was guilty of
the same indecorum, the same contempt for
decencv, if not the same insults to virtuous
women, in the last New Jersey campaign.-
The leaders of the party "founded on great
moral ideas" were perfectly aware of this;
and, in their arrangements for the travels Of
that brainless, .spouter, provided also for the
safe transport of his frail inapetzimeato. ] Sec
Rotary Seward should recall Fitzpatrick at
once. Whatever his services in the war, the
doctrine of military necessity" ought not to
survive it, nor be extended to the courts of
foreign Powers

Elections.
WARRINGTON, October o, Q p. M.-The cleo.
ton returns received here up to this hour are
very meagre, and no idea Of the result can be
given. Judging from the few scattering re.
turns from Pennsylvania, the immense MAORI
ties predicted by the Radicals are not realized
so far. The Democrats seem to hold their
own. The decidedly Democratic districts have
not been heard from.
ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS.
WAsHISaroN, October 9.-Special dispatches
report that Berks county has given 5000 De-
mocratic majority, and Allegheny 1000 Re-

A. T. STEWART REMEMBERS THE PETERS

While on recent visit to New York, a
well-known citizen Of Petersburg visited
the magnificent establishment Of the great
dry goods merchant prince Alexander T.
Stewart for the purpose Of purchasing
some flannel for the use of the Petersburg

mcritoriOus character Of the institution for
which it was designed. The head clerk
assured him that he should have no cause
to complain on that score, and the gentle
man left. Yesterday roll of fine flannel
and o quantity of delainc, sufficient to fur
nish each orphan with dress, were received
in this city by express freight paid), con-
signed to Mrs. w. 7. Joynes, the president

This great and important secret is known
to resident in New York, who is capable
Of directing the manufacture Of the cart

a great improvement on the lo6ksOf the
gun, which he intends patenting. We have
examined the cartridges; they are little
more than an inch In length, and are com.
posed of small pieces Of turned wood,
about one-half an inch in length, and about
one-quarter Of an inch in diameter, in the
form Of cone, at the end Of which Is in
serted the explosive material, which ignites
the powder In the interior. The cartridges
are not affected by damp, and upon being
dried are as good as ever.-Ne,o York

ALMOST AN ELoPEMENT. - Yesterday
morning at quite an early hour, the family
of one Of our citizens was thrown into q
state Of fcverish excitement by the mater
fdn,iliaS, who imagined she heard stealthy
footsteps on tho back stairs. Tho father Of
the family was awakened, aud assured that
the house was full Of burglars and that the
family would be murdered In loss than q
minute unless something was done. The
old gentleman hastily drew On his pants,
lighted the coal-oil lamp, seized poker,
and sailed forth 10 search of the
robbers. What was his SURPRISE in
stead of finding the house full of des-
pcradoes, to meet On tho landing his
good-looking daughter Of sweet sixteen,
dressed in her Sunday best, with band
box on one arm and large valise pendant
from the other. Father was Of course in
justifiable rage; demanded to know OF
Sarah Jane what this meant, and what she
was doing up and dressed at so unseason-
able an hour.
Just at this moment came tap on the
hall door, and a masculine voice, in sup
pressed tone, sung out: "Hurry, darling,
Pm waiting.' Light began to break in on
the enraged PARENT, and he transferred his
attentions to the street door. Daughter ex-
postulated, begged pa not to 90 out there
or he would surely catch his death Of cold
but pa was unrelenting, and in a moment
stood on the porch confronting six-footer
with savage moustache and full travelling
rig. Pa, of course, stormed, ordered
Sarah Jane back to bed, and for that time
ut least runaway match was prevented.
The lovyer was last seen at one of our
livery stables settling for two-horse sin
gle-seatcd carriage, which he swore had
proved too wide for one and not wide
enough for two. Sarah Jane last evening
was looking quite disconsolate, and spoke
of blighted affections and young hearts
breaking for love. We have reason to be-
lieve, however, that she will recovcr.-!S.
