- NAroLEoN AND MAxIMILIAN.- Abiding
to the grand ceremonies at the Paris FIX
position, on the occasion of the Emperor's
distribution of the prizes, The New York
Tribune says:
One curious incident occurred just at
the moment. the cable, doubtless, for fear
of iniuring the harmony of the narrative,
omits to mention. When Mr.. Hughes, the
inventor of the printing telegraph, was
called up to receive his prize, the emperor
took his hand, making him an exception
tn all the other recipients of medals. Mr..
Hughes, as he touched the imperial fingers
slipped into the august palm Of his serene
highness little bit Of paper containing
the last message Received by the cable and
printed by the machine for which he was
just being decorated. 1t contained these
words: ''Maximilian is shot, his last words
were, Poor Carlotta . His royal Sc
renity read the telegram, and Immediately
gave evidence of fearful agitation. His
cheek blanched, his hands trembled, and
the diamonds on the imperial garter quiv-
cred so in the sunlight that shout arose
from the admiring multitude.
The Rev. Thomas NJ. Eddy, editor of
the Northwestern Christian Adcocate, pub
fishes an article several columns in length,
in which he makes some startling develop
ments in regard to the rapidly extending
crime of fGticide. or murder of unborn
children--otherwise abortion. That this
terrible crime is rapidly increasing, and
that many professed Christians are guilty
Of it, DR.. Eddy says cannot admit Of q
doubt. In this connection, however, he
exonorates Catholics from the practice, the
'.tcrrors Of the Confessional" preventing
women of that faith from destroying their
incipient offspring. The subject is ra-
theT delicate one for a religious family
journal, hut the Rev. Doctor undertakes
the task, as he says, from sense Of duty.

troy their offspring before birth. This is
certainly a terrible state of things, if true !;
and it is evident DR.. Eddy does not speak
at random.
SHIPBUILDING.-It is almost miracle
that congressman Phelps, of Maryland, is
not expelled for disloyalty. He had the
iludacity to offer q resolution in the house
ON Thursday instructing the committee on
commerce to inquire into the causes of the
present collapse in ship-bui(ding in the
United States. 1t is evident that Phelps
cares more for the interest of American
commerce than he does for the welfare of
the great loyal republican party. This at
tempt to wake up the committee on COM
fnerce and force it to disclose the grim ru.
in worked upon commerce by the radical
system of protecting American industry"
must have been considered in the house
little less than evidence of reasonable |
conspiracy or rank sedition. Fortunately
t,r the reputation of Phelps, his resolu- |
ton was promptly squelched.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says--s'not in
many years has there been SO fair pros
pect of the democrats carrying Ohio Us
there is now. All over the State the inn
.'ression widely prevails that the radicals
will be routed, Shore foot and Dragons"
and that the negro suffrage amendment
and that the negro suffrage amendment and
the ticket which sustains it, will be badly
a.eaten. We have found, by long exper-
icnce, that such premonitions, when they
extensively prevail, are the best Indications
in the world of the favorable result. The
reaction SO long looked for in public opin-
jon, Is coming fast, and the day of radical
Violence and ultraism is nearly over. Its
sun will soon set, not again to rise. The
signs of hope are now bright in the polit-
ic;Il armament. n-&. Cloud Times.
