NEWSP APER IN THE FAMILY,

There is no book so instructive as the newspaper; no knowledge so use- ful, so necessary to be obtained. as that which may be gleaned from it's columns. It is not only the vehicle of the cheapest, but the most innocent source of pleasure and happiness. A newspaper in family is sure every week to instruct, benefit and make happy every individual that comes within the range of it's influence; espe- cially where they live in the country and hear but little that is new. In the course of the year a well conducted newspaper touches upon almost every subject within the ordinary range of thought-or at least eXcites inquiry and curiosity upon almost all subjects. To know what most concerns us, what is nearest i'll interest to us, is kind of information always useful, and which invariably benefits, amuses and in- structs. This kind of knowledge can only be learned from newspapers. No family can be called ignorant that reads "a newspaper and treasures up what is there found. It is 10 the elder mcm- bers a welcome visitor; it tells them the news and makes them acquainted with the sayings and doings of the outer world. To the children it is an invaluable friend it tells them much they would not otherwise know, and awakes desire for knowledge which is often the basis of future greatness. As matter of economy, no family should be without ewspaper; il makes the children happy at home; it makes them acquainted, in great degree, with the world without sub- jecting them to its vices; it learns them much they could not find else- where, and in all things stands promi- nently forth as the greatest auxiliary to education in these times when cduca- tional advantages are so small. If fa- thers would have their children acquire knowledge of the world to fit them for the places they must occupy as mon and women, let them subscribe at once for some good readable newspaper and they have accomplished much toward doing so.

We recommend it to the careful perusal of every man who has the welfare of his country at heart Ii presents, in clear and concise language the present condition and wants of our country, and, emanating from the source it does, must have much infu- ence in shaping our future destiny as a people.

Bs3g~ The fact that the amount of gold now in the treasury is over ninety seven millions of dollars, of which seventy-three millions belong abso- lutely to the Government, is a sufti- cient indication that very little if any treasury gold has recently been put on the market. The receipts of gold from duties on imports has fallen off mate -rially of late, and does not exceed from two to the millions of treasury per week, and the increase of over two millions of treosmy gold in tho last week shows there has been no diminu- ton in the amount by sales.

WAR IN EUROPE,


The last news from Europe gives the coup de
grace to the glimmering hope of peace which had
been revived by the consent of the great powers
to take part IN diplomatic congress- 1t was the
general opinion that the contemplated congress
could, at best, only adjourn the conflict, and re-
Gently it seemed as if this device would have no
other effect than that of Introducing new comph-
cations into problem already sufficiently difficult
Of solution. Russia would have brought forward
the question of the Danubian principalities, and
Napoleon was suspected of a design to turn the
discussions to the benefit Of France, by urging
claim to the Rhenish provinces, as an Offset against
any possible ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of other powers.
The Introduction of SO many new elements into the
deliberations of the congress would alone have
rendered settlement extremely difficult. But
when, besides, there was On evident desire on the
part Of the parties to the actual quarrel to appeal
to the sword as a more ehectual arbiter than the
discussions Of congress which rejected in adj
vance the right to enIoreeits conclusions, var was
seen to be inevitable, either sooner or later The
acceptance Of the invitations rendered by the
neutral powers was therefore nothing more than a
meaningless courtesy, intended by each Of the
contestants to avert from itself the accusation Of
disturbing the peace Of Europe. Had those invi
'o''HeN4 ~ 1900 - N1'' 1870 'A
England, France and Russia would resort to force
to compel acquescence in the decisions Of the con
gress, it is probable hat there would have been at
least serious effort to avert war. But England
virtually declares that she will not in any event
appeal to arms; France is supposed TO be secretly
backing Prussia and Italy, and Russia is believed
to be waiting anxiously for the moment when she
can annex the coveted Danubian provinces with
out encountering any other opposition than the
feeble protests Of Turkey. ....
1t seems, then, that the project OF congress
was, from the beginning o vain and useless eXpe-
dent The last news asserts that 1t has been de-
iintely abandoned by all parties The neutral
powers have withdrawn and the Immediately
contesting governments seem resolved to try the

wagiug war under the rules which govern separate
natioualtics, the United States cannot, by subse-
queDt action, attach guilt which they had praoti-
oally wiped away by the concession of bellige-
rent rights As Mr.. Smith justly remarks, this act
of but one Of the parties to the contract would be
Gu post facto, and void in law.
But this theory, which aocords SO fully with The
views promulgated by writers on international
law, is not inconsistent with that of President
johnson. The destruction of the de footo govern
ment. while in cur opinion it does not in any way
lessen the duty of the United States to respect its
faith to the citizens of the South under the ac-
quired rights of begerents, is considered by Pres
ident johnson as the breaking down Of the only
barrier which existed to the re establishment of
the Federal relations of all the States This bar
rier being now removed, the Federal Constitution,
which comedies the full jurisdiction of interna-
tional law over belligerent rights, resumes its
binding force over all the States subject only to
the rights acquired for its citizens by the late de
facto government as belligerent power, under
the laws of nations

EQUESTRIAN PERLs.-A singular accident hap.
pened recently to a young lady near Brighton,
England. She was riding on horseback behind
the rest of her companions, when young man
rushed from the side of the road towards her. and
commenced tearing away the skirt of her riding
habit. A gentleman on horseback, thinking that
some insult was offered, rode towards the young
lady to give her his protection, when he discov-
cred that the habit was on fire. 1t was soon ex-
tinguished, but not before the hands of the young
man were much burnt. The origin of the acct.
dent is not known. It was attributed at the time
to the skirt having caught the hot ashes of an
ignited cigar fuse, carelessly thrown away; but
the probable conjecture is that the skirt caught
fire from plumbers portable crate, used for melt,
ing lead in the open air, one of which was on the
route.
