The Possible Csnsequenee, of European
Prom The London Times, May a6-I

prom The London Times, May 20
We nave much to hope from the strong dis
position OF the greater part OF Europe for
peace. OF the temper of the Germans il Is I'M
necessary 10 speak, and the French are scarcely
less unwilling 10 see war again break out A
great, IL gradual, change in their character
has long been in progress, and the nation
which for so many years was the terror OF Eu-
rope Is now, as nation, devoted to the pur-
suits OF peace. The finance OF the Empire has
gwen almost every Individual an interest in
the Imperial funds, and railway and other
stock Is he'd very largely by every class OF the
population The savings of every one, whether
perllled by the fall in all kinds of securities
sRce the first rumors OF war. The people see
with apprehension the interruption of COM
merce and communication; the cause OF Italy
has never been so popular as might have been
expected from past alliance and the remem-
brance of common victories. and Prussia has
never recovered IN France the memories of
1874 and ISIS. The Emperor Napoleon too
as well az the other sovereigns OF the conti-
nent generally may well see with concern the
dimensions and the direction which this con-
II let is taking.
The Italian Government has called popular
enthusiasm 10 It's aid, and, in continental par
lance, allied itself with the revolution. The
King Of Prussia is 'alking about universal SUI.
frage ard radical reform in the German Con-
sututIon. What may be the relations of the
Austrian Emperor toward his less well affec ted
and non-German provinces three months after
the oHtbrs ak of the war is as yet hidden in the
future. But there IS a feeling that this war If
once begun, viii assume areyolutionary char
acter. II these millions of men meet in conflict
thrones Will not remain where they are Ger
man. Italian, Magyar, Czech, and Pole will be
moved as they were never moved before. Such
Commissions may be inevitable in the progress
OF nations. but they are not pleasing TO En-
perors and Kings. The position the masses
have taken in these countries, the intense in
terest of all Glasses, the enthusiasm of one
country. the indiguarIon OF another, and the
proof which has been given that if the SOW
ereigns raise tempest they will not be able to
lay 10, must have It's effect upon every wise
ruler, however exalted his rank or extensive
his power.

A FEMININE PLEA FOR TIrIse Hoops.-A

A FENrNTNE PLEA FOR fitting HooPs.-A
lady, writing to the Utica Observer says:

male apparel called s'tilters," yet doubt not
tnat You VIII be impartial enough 70 hear the
otner side Of the question, and let the ladies
say word in self defence. In the first place,
II they choose TO do so, they are at perfect
noerty TO wear any article of apparel intro
duced as fashion by the best circles of So
ciety, and worn, as these innocent 'tilters"
are, by all the fashionable ladies of our large
cities. And innocent they are, 100, say what
the spfteful newspapers may about their sim
modesty" and slack of refinement" have
no doubt that these gallant men have Just as
much admiration for dainty pair OF feet and
ankles as any other man, and would exert
themselves to obtain a view,whenever young
lady sees fit to offer an opportunity.
''lf there Is anything bad in pair Of hoops
that expose to view neatly dressed feminine
pedal extremities, the ladies as vet fail to see
II. When editors talk about indecent exposure
OF person. etc. they display their lamentable
Ignorance OF female apparel, and utterly ignore
the fact that pantalettes are worn with the
nltIng hoops as well as without them.
"ln short, claiming that a lady has as good a
right 10 show hsr graceful feet as a man his
great, ungainly, uncouth appendages, we can
not see why her much abused sex, since they
must wear hoops, should not be allowed to
wear in peace that particular kind which is
the most graceful, convenient and in every
way the most serviceable."
