Bnautiful Queens.

Perhaps, if the Empress of Austria
were not an extremely pretty, gentle, eff
fectionata woman, the Hungarians might
not have been quite so much enraptured.
But then it is part of the profession Of
royalty TO marry such person. The
Prince of Wales has married very
pretty woman. The Emperor Of the
French has married one OF The hand
soonest women in Europe The Prince
Of Prussia has married one of the bright

Austria is under sort OF duty to be
worth looking at, and, heing pretty, she
can help her husband at moment of

Congress, and also member Of the late
Radical caucus at Washington, states
that the Radicals are making prepara-
tions for civil war which they expect to
blaze up at the assemblage of Congress
in December. Major General Sherman
tells the young men in a public speech
that they will live TO see fighting in com
parison with which all that he has done
is but childs play. Undoubtedly there
is danger, dreadful danger ahead. Con-
gress could remove all danger in a sim
gle hour, but that body seems smitten
with judicial blindness" and there is
little or nothing to be hoped from it,
We had better, all of us, whilst giving
our whole energies to the maintenance
of peace. put our affairs in order so as
to be prepared. as we may for the worst.
The future is not bright; it is lurid with
bale fires. We sometimes fancy that it
is "palled in the dunnest smoke of hell.
Shall the million lives, sacrificed to the
God of Battles, prove to have been sac
riGced in vain? Are the Radicals deter
mined that it shall be so Now that the
negro is free, why do they rave even
more 6ercely than they did before? ?
