says that one of the strangest facts in
the history of mankind is the pending
European quarrel, in which men by
thousands are to be sacrificed, and the
fortunes of all civilized nations shaken,
for the nominal reason that two Frus-
sian and Austrian families are disput-
ing about little duchy with port on
the Baltic Sea, which they united to
steal from Denmark.

THE Fourth resulted badly in some
of the towns of Northeastern Iowa.
A man was shot dead in a quarrel at
Connover, the present terminus of the
Western railway, about fifty miles from
McGreg0r. The deceased cut the face
of the survivor badly, and, it is said,
stabbed him in the side in two places;
the latter retired, had his wounds dress
ed, procured pistol, returned, and de-
liberately killed his late assailant. 1t
is reported that they had been friends,
and that some feminine trouble caused
the quarrel. The testimony was so
heavy against the dead man that the
living one was promptly discharged
At DEBORAH, Winneshiek county, a
mans arm was blown off while firing
cannon. AT another point little
boy had an oye completely blown out
by the bursting of a fire cracker. The
browning horror in this catalogue &C.
Cured near Clermont. The Scandina-
vians had Fourth of July cele-
bration Of their own, and while fir

young ladies (sisters) instantly, and
wounded another woman, SO that she
died within few hours. Several 9TH
ers were injured. The ladies were in a
little bower, over fifty yards from the
cannon.

place in Austrian Silcsia, between the
Prussians and Austrians, in which the
former had somewhat the advantage.
The Haneverian army have reaeked
the territory Of Meiningen, having
eluded the Prussian force by which it
was almost surrounded. A desperate
battle occurred on Sunday, June oath,
between the italian and Austrian forces
i'm front of Verona. Victor Emanuel
commanded his troops in person, and
brought into the contest the three corps
Of the Array Of the Mincio, and the re-
serve. The Austrians claim to have
taken several cannon and 2,0oQ prisoners
carried Custozza by storm, and repulsed
every attack Of the Italians. In
another engagement the Italians were
repulsed, and forced to recross the
Mincio. The Grand Duke of Baden
has broken off relations with Prussia.

SENSIBLE SPEECH.-In the speech of
Roberts to the Eenians, at

Buffalo. he is reported to have said:
"The dawH of irish liberty is ap,.

ask you to extend your hand to e'sry
other people who are struggling Tor
liberty. Help to enslave no man, and
remember that God created US all in
His own image; that He looks not SO
much at the color of the face as at the
color of the heart" Applause
President Roberts has not failed to
discover the most absurd position in
which Democratic orators and papers
place the Irishmen of America They
profess to applaud the Irish for their
laudable efforts to emancipate their
country, while, at the same time, they
boast that the Irish vote may always be
relied on to keep millions of other peo-
plo in social and political degradation.
They boast that the Irish of the United
States, while appealing for American
aid and American sympathy in secur-
ing civil and religious liberty to the
people of Ireland, will never vote to
extend civil, social, or religious liberty
to the millions Of negroes who are in
this country. President Roberts does
not propose to remain under that insult
ing imputation.--Chicago Republican.
