a third OF a century ago, relates hat one day in

phrases speak Volumes, and the contrast is really
an exaggerated one. II you hear a number Of men
singing in the streets orlanes Of English towns and
villages. especially Of an evening, or in numbers,
ten to one it is some drunken carol or some OBJ
scene chorus. In Switzerland and Germany, and
we believe in Sweden and Denmark too, the sing
ing out Of doors is c~easeless after the days work 10
done and it is generally good, always. decent, and
most often sentimental or patriotic.i The very
amusements are different, and, what 10 even more
characteristic, the corresponding amusements are
carried on in o different fashion Musicaand dane
ing are often introducedinto English especially
city, public houses and gin palaces, but these
music saloons are among their worst and most dis
| reputable attractions. In most towns and villages
in Teutonic countries you Ind large rooms fitted
| with rude orchestra alcoves, all furniture and ao-
I cessories' being OF the humblest andsimplest de-

tho frequenter usually un%exceptionable. e.

clared emphatically for peace. Prussia, he said,
would never attack France, and tho latter would
soon get over her surprise at German unity.
Meanwhile" he continued, ''our attituas,is oil
most q passive one-we are threatening nobody,
coercing nobody, not even persuading anybody.
Il Southern Germany gravitates towards us, be
assured the .grayitatiOn. is O natural one, not ono
brought about by Inanoeuvres on our part. We
shall not repulse our brothers If they come to us
with open arms; but we do not yearn for anybodya
property" Wfthregsrd to the Salzburg CONFER
ence, he said he didn't believe in the feasibility Of
an Adstro-French alliance, nor did he fear IL.
What he did think OF the affair was told in his cir
cular. AS to Eastern affairs, he thought that thew
/ would be quiet; for although Russia had procliyi-
ties in that direction, she can only assert them by
q long and expensive war, which abe is not able to
commence. He also believed in the speedy as
similation Of the ne Wy acquired Prussian PROV
inces, and took such an altog ether rose-colored
view Of affairs at home aud abroad as to indicate
the after-dinner hour as without doubt the time
Of the conversation. His g~spislity did not pre-
vent him, however, from making a side thrust at
Great Britain, when, in speaking of the Abyssinia
expedition, he said that "the more money they
spent, the fewer lives they would lose"-which
oracle, it is to be hoped, will compensate the
grumblsrs who would keep their shirines in their
pockets and their oountrymen in prison. .

A New ORLEANS paper, OF . late date, contains
the following gloomy picture Of affairs In Louisi-
ana: ''The picture of the unfortunate condition of

longed; o deplorable condition Of staple produce.

lastly, the citizens are looking alphabetically ON,
while an election is proceeding which may place
them under the dominion Of the freedmen, or
what 10 worse, under that OF tho white renegades
who have put themselves ut tho head Of the Radi-
cal movement. As we have remarked above, busi-
ness is dead, and the epidemic has retarded tho
preparations that, at this time of the year, usually
indicated, an early resumption of commercial
transactions. The buyers in the neirhboripr
States and Parishes prudently keep at o distance
