Every patriot should frown upon all
those acts and proceedings, every
where, which can serve no other pur-
pose than to rekindle the animosites
of war, and the effect of which upon
our moral, social and material inter

The purpose Of the war having been
to preserve the Union and the Consti-

CARL SCHURZ ON THE EUROPEAN
WAR.
Austria and Prussia.

From the Detroit Post June %.
The greatest armies ever raised by
Austria, Prussia and Italy are now
standing face to face, ready to strike,
waiting only for the word March =
Although it would be hazardous to
predict what will be the final result of
the gigantic struggle, UT we are per-
mitted to draw some conclusions as to
the future from the past history, the
comparative strength and the present
condition of the contending powers.
In point of territory and popula-
ton, Austria is by far the strongest
of the three, but as to population not
as strong as Prussia and Italy COM
bjned The area of Austria is $780,
81 English square miles, while Prus-
sia has only l0S, ,2i2 and Italy 9S,7S4.
The population of Austria is comput.
ed at 36, 792, 900 souls that of Prus-
sia was in 1864 about 10, 305, 500. and
that of Italy 2l,703,7l0, giving Italy
and Prussia combined an excess over
Austria Of more thac 1900, 900.
Aside from the question of num-
bers, the population of Austria is far
less homogeneous than that of either
Prussia or Italy. The empire of Aus
tria is vast pen, in which at least
half dozen, more or less, distinct
nationalties are hedged in. There are
over 5000, 900 Germans; over 5,000,-
900 Magyars (; Italians, Bohemians,
Slovacks, Moravians, Slavonians,
Croats, Poles, Servians, Bulgarians,
Eastern Romans, and other nations OF
less importance to make up the bal
ance. These different nationalities
have had hardly anything in common
but the Central Government; neither
language nor social forms and Gus
toms, nor economical interests, nor
even affection for the family ruling
over them all. While each of them
cherishes its own political and nation
al aspirations, not seldom seriously
conflicting with the interests of the
Imperial dynasty, they intensely dis
like each other, and their mutal jeal.
6usies have furnished means by " hich
the "Kaiser" has been able to keel
them all in subjection. The Austrian
Empire presents the singular spectacle
of number of differnt nationalities
each aspiring to liberty for itself, and
each permitting itself to be used as ar
instrument in keeping down the rest
OF this the last twenty years hav,
furnished the most striking illustra
tons. When the Italians rose, Aus
trian armies composed of Germans
Hungarians, Bohemians, Slovacks
Croats and other tribes were sen
against them to reduce them to sub
lection. When, 1873, revolutionar,
movements took place in Bohemia, il
the German part of Austria, and il
Hungary, they were put down in th
same manner by Austrian soldiers be
longing to other nationalities. Thi
game was played with great skill an
general success, although in the cas-

THE ARTS In CHINA.

They have manufacturers of false
noses in China, but none Of false
teeth. There are practitioners who
profess to cure the toothache instanta-
neously, and people worthy of credit
have assured me they succeed in doing
so. The works of Europe N dentists
are among the most admired exam
pies of foreigners. A mandarin who
was anxious to learn something about
the making of teeth, once produced
to me a box full of artificial noses Of
various sizes and colors, with which
he supplied the defects of his own. -
He said he used one sort of nose be-
fore, and another after his meals, and
insisted that Chinese ingenuity was
greater than our own. " hat, in pro-
cess of time, will be the action of
western civilization on the farthest
eastern regions whether, and in
what shape, we shall make returns for
the instruction our foreiathers received
from thence-is curious and interest
ing inquiry more interesting from
the vast extent of the regions before
us. The tire-engine is almost the on
ly foreign mechanical power which
has been popularized in China. There
is scarcely watch or clock maker in
the whole empire, though opulent
men generally carry two watches. -
The rude Chinese agricultural and
manufacturing instruments have been
nowhere supplanted by European inn
provements. No steamship has been
built by the Chinese. The only ever
saw would not move after it was
I launched. 1t was said Chinaman.
who had only served on an English
steamer as stoker, was required by
the authorizes to construct the vessel.
There is neither gold nor silver coin
age; the only currency being a base
metal, chiea, whose value is the fifth
of farthing. Yet they have arts, to
us wholly unknown. They give to oop-
pePa hardness and sharpness of steel.
We cannot initiate some of their
brightest colors. They have lately
sent us the only natural green which
is permanent, which has been known
to them, as printing, wood engraving
the compass, artillery practice, and
other great inventions, from time i'm
memorial. Paper was made from rag:
long anterior to the Christian era, and
promisory notes were used at still
earlier period. The Chinese may be
proud of language and literatur,
which has existed for thirty centuries
while in Europe there is no literary
language now written or spoken
which would have been intelligibl,
seven hundred years ago. If, then

world, the recent armaments have led
to scenes which anywhere else, would
be looked upon as the prelude to dis
solution. The mobilization Of the
army involved the calling out Of the
" landwehr." The [" landwehr does
not, as some of our cotemporaries
seem to believe, consist Of raw levies
or fresh conscripts: it consists of men
who, after having served their regular
term in the "line," are permitted to
return to civil pursuits, liable to be
called out whenever the army IL mo-
bilized' for active service. The '1and-
wehr" is therefore a well drilled body
Of veteran ldiers, and, inasmuch as
it is composed of men in the full vigor
Of their manhood, has been looked
upon as the best part of the Pruss n
army. But, as these men form the
sinew OF the country, and mostly have
families, the calling out the "land-
wehr" involves a violent and disas-
trous interruption of all industrial
pursuits, and is terrible blow to t le
families they leave behind unprovid !
for. Such sacrifices are made cheer
fully only when the cause to be fought
for has the sympathy Of tine people.
But the "landwehr" was called out
this time merely for the execution of
the ambitious plans of detested
Minister, the cry of anger was raised
by the men who had to 60, and a cry
of distress by the families left behind.
Loud curses were uttered against Dis
mark, officers were beaten, RAILROAD
depots were demolished, and the de-
monstratious of fury and despair stop
ped short only of general resistance to
the royal decree.
A spirit like this, if it continue,
might have very important influence
upon the events Of the war. Men who
are so profoundly Disguised with the
cause they are called upon to fight for
that victory or defeat is to them all
the same, are not likely to fight with
that spirit upon which success so
largely depends. They may not find
it convenient to expose their lives
more than they are absolutely obliged
to, and take their revenge of the Gov.
ernment by simply abandoning the in
stigators of the war to themselves at
the decisive moment. On the other
hand, it is not impossible that their
soldierly spirit will get the better OF
their resentment when the first shot
is fired, and we should not be surpris-
ed in that case to see them fight bet
ter than they now intend to.
Taking all these moral and physical
elements of success together, it would
seem that at the commencement OF
hostilities Austria will probably have
a not inconsiderable advantage over
her German rival. In Germany she
will undoubtedly be stronger, inasi
much as the minor German States, a.
most without exception openly or Sc
cretly sympathize with her But the
ultimate result Of the war will not de-
pend on the German powers alone
The equilibrium of strength may be
restored or the preponderance decided
in the weight which Italy and, per-
haps, France will throw into the scale,
and whether Austria will be able to
withstand 50 powerful combination,
is exceedingly doubtful. OF this as
pect of the question, however, we in
tend to speak on another occasion.

USES OF ICE.

In health no one ought to drink ice4
water, for it has occasioned fatal in
flanations of the stomach and bowels,
aud sometimes sudden death. The
temptation TO d ink it is very great in
summer TO use it at all with any de-
gree OF safeay, the person should take
but single swallow at time, take
the glass from the lips for half min
ute, and then another swallow, an so
on. 1t will be found that in this way
it becomes disagreeable after few
mouthfuls. Onthe other hand, ice it.
self may be taken as freely as possi-
BILE, not only without injury, but with
the most striking advantage in dan
gerous forms Of disease.
If broken in sizes of q pea or beam,
and swallowed as freely as practical
bio, ~ithont much chewing or. crushAv
ing between the teeth, it will often
be efficient in checking various kinds
of diarrhea, and has cured violent
cases of Asiatic cholera.
A kind of cushion of powdered ice
kept TO the entire scalp, has ailayed
violent infiamations of the brain, ar
rested fearful commissions induced by
too much blood there. In Group, wa.
ter, as cold as ice can make it, applied
freely to the throat, neck and chest,
with a sponge or cloth, very often af-
fords an almost miraculous relief, and
if this be followed by drinking copi-
ously of the same ice-cold element,
the wetted parts wiped dry, and the
child be wrapped up well in the bed
clothes, it falls into delightful and
life giving slumber. All infamations,
internal or external, are promptly SUBJ
dued by the application of ice or ice-
water, because it is converted into
steam and rapidly conveys away the
extra heat, and also diminishes the
quantity of blood i'm the vessels of the
part
A piece Of ice laid on the wrist will
often arrest violent bleeding Of the
nose. To drink any ice-cold liquid at
meals retards digestion, chills the
body, and has been known to induce
the most dangerous internal conges-
tions. Refrigerators constructed to
have the ice above, are as philosaphi-
cal as they are healthful, for the ice
does not come in contact with the wa
ter or other contents, yet keeps them
all nearly ice cold. If the ice is put
in milk or on butter, and these are not
used at the time, they lose their fresh
ness and become sour and stale. for
the essential nature of both is changed
when once frozen and then thawed.-

There is no right, anywhere, to dis

Attraction lures the sot to drink,

But when his legs give way, he falls,
And Traction keeps him down.
