The European war is postponed for
the present, unless 1t Is prematurely
started by Garibaldi or the Greeks.
The latest continental excitement con-
Germs two American ladies staying at
the fascinating town of HonburR,
which 10 not the commercial seaport
from which SO many emigrauts go to
America, but a pleasure town. with its
Cursaal or Casino. its gardens, bands,
balls and pu bile gambling-table, where
tor the,time people bet on tue
turn of q card instead Of Derby faVor-
lite, price of gold, corn. cotton or inse-
curities. These two charming Ameri-
can ladies formed the acquaintance of
a fascinating Italian, who wrote on MS
rendered-of the baronial family OF the
Farini. He says, in fact. that his broth
er is a baron. mucI of the society At
Hamburg is English, and the English
are decorous everywhere, except, per-
haps, in assuming a slouching, slangy
style Of dress abroad, which they would
not think of wearing at home, so that
the French say they come to the CONT
nent to wear out their old clothes, and
in bathing nudely and promiscuousiy
at their own watering places.
At Homburg happened to be Mr.; La
bouchere, an English member OF Par.
| Lament and sprig of nobility. he told
I OuG OI 1Ab'
! Farini was no baron, and a disreputa-
BILE scamp into the bargain who Periled
the reputation of any lady who &C
knowledged his acquaintance. This
lady told another lady, also an Amert-
can, who told the Italian, who tried to
cane the English n. P. and then wait
ed for a challenge. But dueling has
been out OF fashion in England some
what longer than crinoline, and Mr..
I,abouchere declined to fight on that
account, and because he held the
Italian to be no gentleman, and
finally he took the course very natural
TO an EnglIshmRn, but disgusting TO
Continentals. of applying to the police.
The American ladies may have been
imprudent. according to English no.
tions OF propriety, but would probably
have been able to take care OF them
selves. The EnRlishman blundered In
not going to the police in the first
place, II the Italian was at all what he
represented him to be; and as the mat
ter stands, the possible baron has the
best OF 1t. No doubt the Englishman
had the best possible intentions-they
almost always have-but then lie blum
dered in carrying them out, as they al
most always do.

A RICHMOND paper speaks Of a girl
thirteen years old who committed fif.
teen hundred consecutive verses of the
New Testament in one week, wearied
out several teachers in reciting her
lesson, and had brain fever next day.
The Hartford Times says that girl of
sixteen is dying in that city from the
effects of disease caused by oyer-study
I'd school. Aud the Boston 1ldretter
notices the case OF q young lady who
recently died in a suburban town' anu
her physician says that her desth was
undoubtedly caused by hard study.

A RECENT visitor in the oil regions of
Pennsylvania describes the desolation
which reiGns in once famous locality.
Between OIL City and Meadyille, not
one well Is in operation. 1t is only a
long line OF rotting derricks and rust
ed boilers and engines. At Franklin,
where the French Creek empties into
the Allegheny, they show with pride
the great courthouse they are build
ing, the tall marble monument to the
martyrs OF the war, and the tumbling-
down farmhouse OF the Evans family.
Three years ago, 500, 900 was offered to
this family for their house and ground.
The offer was refused as too moderate.
Now, the estate, house, farm aad all,
will not bring 81, 900.

The Payment of Government Bonds,

"DEAR SIR: Your favor OF the 18th in

lance il attached TO the utterance to
which you refer. The people OF the
United States are all sound upon the
question OF the preservation of the ma
tioLAl faith as they were upon the Ques-
ton OF the preservation of the Union
consider the faith of the Government
pledged to pay the hve-twenty bonds
when they are paid in coin.
There need be, 1 think, no appre-
hension that they will be called In at
the expiration OF five i5) yeRrs from
their respective dates, aud paid in Uni

1.-THE United States notes were issued
under the pressure of u great necessity,
and are, by authority Of Congress, be-
ing rapidly Withdrawn from circulR-
ton. No more can be issued nnder ex-
listing laws, nor can I belive that any
considerable number of the members
OF Congress would favor an additional
issue for any purpose whatever, much
less for the purpose OF paying bonds in
violation Of the express understanding
under which they were negotiated.
THE policy of contracting the circu-
Iation OF the United States notes. adop-
ted by Congress, and being steadily
pursued by the Secretary, should of
itself, even II the honor OF the nation
were not involved in the question, sat
isfy holders that tive-twenty bonds will
not be called in and paid before matur-
ity in deprecated currency.

DANIEL WEBSTER once paid the fol-
lowing beautiful tribute TO woman !:
May it please your honors, there is
nothing upon this earth that can COM
pare with the faithful attachment of u
wife; no creature who for the object OF
her love is so indomitable, 30 persever-
ing, so ready to suffer and to die. I'm.
der the most depressing circumstances,
woman's weakness becomes mighty
power, her timidity becomes fearless
courage, all her shrinking aud sinking
passes away, and her spirit acquires the
firmness OF mArble-adRmantine firm
ness-when circumstances drive her to
put forth all her energies under the In
spiration of her affections"
