A Rather Disagrecable. Termination 0.
Love Making affair.

We have heard the particulars of Q rath
er dlsagreeagble termination TO a love
making affair. which occurred at Biooom
lngton last week A young man in the
employ of the Louisville, New Albany, and
| Chicago Railroad, as brakeman, asked
conductor Iomny Eanion to procure him
leave OF absence tor a few days, tor the
! purpose, as lie said, of allowing him to
visit sick brother, at Bloomington Oh
course, 1t was not difficult tor him to get
| the leave of absence desired, and 1t was Is
| sued 10 HIM. .r
| 1t seems, however, that the sick brother
Was only an imaginary Individual. 1t Was
healthy, good looking girl that he wanted
to see; and being rather modest KIND Oi
youth he did not like to say 50, and hatch
cd up the sick brother story.
WITH his leave OF absence In his pocke ct,
the young man stepped of the cars at
Bloomington, his heart palpltatIng rapidly
under the pressure of excitement produced
by the expectation of soon meeting his lady
love, anu enjoying the delights Of her 30
| clety- lie was happy, and whlstIing gally,
he walked straight from the depot to the
residence of his adored He was met at
the door by the glr 5 father, invited into
the house with the utmost cordiality in
formed that dinner would soon be ready,
anu that he would be expected to partake
OF that meal with his girl and prospective
father ln.iaW
We must confess that such reception
on counting expedition was enough to en-
courage one, aud till his mind with the
brightest visions of the future But alas
appearances are sometimes very deceptive
and the course of true love ne er did run
smooth. = After the young railroad man
had comfortably seated himself, and signi-
he'd his acceptance Of the old gentleman 8
to dinner, he noticed the afore-
sain old gentleman locking the doors of the
room. Tins rather puzzled him. but when
the old mad approached him, after locking
the doors, with q good sized club in his
hand, and commenced an assault upon him,
his bewiiderment gave way to the instincts
OF safety, and he endeavored to get out of
the house But the old man, worked up
to the highest pitch of anger, kept him in
the room, and walloped him in the most
scientific manner.
Finally. upon promising never again to
speak to the old man s daughter, the young
man was let out OF the house, and it did
not take him long to get out of town. He
Is stlil considerably the worse of the severe
pummeslng he received, aud it is not likely
That he Will soon again want leave of ab.
sense to visit either a sick brother or a
Bloomington girl whose paternal ancestor
Is opposed to such visits.

1.-The Great Mistake.

The New York Times, 4 well known Re-
publican paper, says there has been "a
great mistake" made by its paper, and
thus explains:
The great mistake in what has beer
done since the war was closed is, that it
has been done in the spirit and temper OF
conquerors dealing with conquered peo-
pie. Alter war between independent ma
tIoRs peace comes only through u treaty.
a compact TO which both are equal parties.
IL Is not imposed by the victor without the
consent OF the vanquished, and maintained
by constant display OF armed power.
Such close OF war would not be peace Ii
would heal none Of the wounds, soothe
none OF the asperltles. allay none of the
hasreds which the war had caused; and
this Is far more true OF the peace that
should follow war between centendlug
sections OF the same country. The terms
OF peace IN such a case, ii it is to bring
With 1t the fruits OF peace, must he such as
the Judgment of both parties can approve
and such as both can accept without a
sense OF humiliation. The presidents pol
ICY had this feature to recommend 1t at all
events. Whether ght or wrong In its
details, 1t made the south an asserting and
and willing party to the peace which it
sought to bring about. Aud the great de-
feet in the policy Of congress has been, that
1t springs from different temper and
breathes different spirit Whether right
or wrong in its details, it is imposed upon
the south by force. 1t goes out under
threats, backed up by military power,
and enforced as an act and badge of
subjugation rather than offered as
a basis of peace which both parties can &C
cept with honor, and as conducive to their
common interests. Differences of detail
would have been very easily adjusted, if the
subject had baen thus approached in the
spirit OF real and substantial peace
But this has not been done. We are as
tar from READ peace to. day as we were when
the war was closed. Indeed, the feeling
that now prevails between the two sections
is less peaceful, more bitter and more hos
tile, than it was when Lee surrennered to
Grant. The people feel this to be the fact,
ana they deplore 1t as calculated to plunge
the country deeper and deeper into trouble
and confusion. We are not coming out of
the war with either credit to ourselves or
profit to the country

Speech of the Emperor.

Napoleon addressed the French Senate
and Corps Legislatif on Wednesday last al
unaccustomed length The chief points Of
his address are, that the changes in the di-
rection of German Unity must be frankly
accepted; that the Expositisn is chiefly no
table as a spectacle of Cancellation and
peace, by reason of destroying host of in
ternational hatreds that policy-a mod
fcation Of the laws of lS32-is to be in
augurated for reducing the strength of the
army during peace, and increasing it during
war; that the danger which Italian rev
dictionary manifestoes caused to monarch
ial principles and European order" has
passed, and the time is at hand when the
Pope can again be left to himself; that the
European powers have agreed, on the East
ern question, upon two principal points !:
the maintenance of the Ottoman Empire,
and the amelioration of the condition of
the Christians that internal improvements
will be prosecuted that the finances are
not good, ana the remedy is to be found in
free trade; and that old reforms are to be
prosecuted and new ones introduced, look
ing to the suppression of national contro
versies and hostile passions.

Marvellous Escape from Death.

The Cincinnati Enquirer Of the 10th,
says:
Last Friday evening, when two estima-
BILE young ladies', sisters, the Misses Lane,
were returning from school at Carlisle Sta
ton to then home, short distance from
that place, enc Of them was very seriously
injured by falling through cattle guard on
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Road.
They were walking hurriedy along the
track-that being the shortest route home
and they were so busily engaged in con-
versation that they were not aware of their
near approach to the cattle guard and Que
of the sisters was in the act of raising her
veil to look for the place, when she stepped
into the guard, and falling heavily, her
head was severely injured by striking the
wall, and her hip was also seriously injured
She was incapable of helping herself, and
she was SO wedged into the guard that her
sister was unable to remove her and while
she ran off to a house to get assistance, a
train of cars passed over the PROSTATE and
wounded girl. Fortunately, she sustained
no injury flom the train; but she narrowly
escaped terrible death, the COW catcher
having disarranged her dress as the loco
motive plunged over her Miss Lane will
be confined to her bed for some time, but
it is believed that she will not be perma-
uently disabled.
