The WAR CLOUD CLEARING AWAY
The cable kilograms indicate that the diff
culties between France and Prussia are
likely to be settled England has rendered
its friendly Offices to Prussia, and she has
accepted the proposition. A conference of
the great powers is to be held in London on
the 18th Of May, at which the Luxemburg
question is to be discussed. 1t is proposed
that Luxemburg be neutralzed that is,
that neither France nor Prussia shall have
any intrest therein; that the Prussian gar
rison shall be Immediately withdrawn, and
that Luxembourg be made an independent
sovereignty. Such an arrangement as this
would satisfy the. honor of France, for the
acerbation among the French people has
become intensified under the impression
that the continued occupation of Luxem-
burg by Prussian garrison would be a
standing menaee to France.

A RIVAL OF MIR. PEABoDY.-Mr. Johns
Hopkins, u citizen of Baltimore, worth
twenty millions OF dollars, has made a
gift, endOwing the Johns Hopkins Hos
pital, for poor white aud colored per-
sons, and the Johns Hopkins Institute,
for educational purposes. embracing
also poor white and colored children,
to have separate apartments. Mr..
Hopkins is still living, and deter
mined, like George Peabody, to see,
whilst living. the good effects of his
benevolent charities. Mr.. Hopkins is
bachelor, a member of the Society of
Friends, and about Mr.. Peabody's age.
1t is expected he will make many more
large charitable bequests whilst alive,
that he may realize the good his vast
means may do. The belief is that he
will eventually donate his magnificent
country place for public purposes, and
still project other grand charities. His
present income is nearly or quite three
hundred thousand dollars per annum.
Whilst he has many relatives whom he
will leave Independent, yet vast
amount will be appropriated to benev-
olent purposes. He Is still an active
business man, and one of our most
useful citizens, having been instru-
mental in greatly improving the city
OF Baltimore.

THE RESULT OF FRUGALITY.-Some
thirty years ago a merchant of this city
retired from business with fortune OF
one hundred thousand dollars. This
he invested in securities where the rate
of interest was less reconsideration than
the security OF the investment. With
out leading a life which was character
lied by useless display, he reared a
family aud with them enjoyed all the
comforts of a good home, finding the
means also 10 give to MANY charitable
objects. He died recently and his es-
tate is valued at three hundred thou
sand dollars, so safely invested and so
easily turned that it will only require
his executors one weeks time to settle
it, paying all his debts and liquidating
allithe lsgecies. II is rarely that an ed !
tateof This amount isso easily hand led /,
and the case affords an evidence of the
sagacity of making haste to gain riches
slowly, ,,and of the widow of the deeeas-
ed, whose ''house was in order" when
the Reaper came.-Boston Journal.

A NICE LITTLE FoRTUNE.-The Mer-
GER county (Illinois) Press, in a notice
OF the death of Capt. Jack, of that place,
has the following: "His death reminds
us of a circumstance related to us by
Hon. C. NJ. Harris, his son-in- law, some
time since. Mr.. Jack owned a quarter
of land, a great many years ago, and
he sold il to person for a few hundred
dollars, contrary to the wish OF his wife;
she declined to sign the deed, and never
did. The best part of Chicago stands
on that land. Mrs. Jack, therefore, is
now the owner of a dover interest in
one hund red and sixty acres in the very
heart of Chicago" IL also says the in
come for the rent of this land, during
the lifetime of Mrs. Jack. must be large;
that her right of dover, during her mt
ural life, is undisputed, and that, after
her death, her heirs have no claimi and
that, already, several parties from Chi
cago have made overtures for the pur-
chase of her claim.

Rnee. Or 1lle PresIden1,s Cour,e.

The Springfield, Mass, RepubEiedn,
OF August Goth, says: "Nobody has
been able to account satisfactorily for
the strange course of the President.
We suspect that he has been secretly
bought up by the Republican National
Committee, to help in the fall elections.
His Swinging round the circle" last
year secured splendid triumphs for the
Republicans. This year they were
somewhat anxious about the tall cleo
uons until the President came to their
aid. His conflict with Gen. Grant and
the Department Commanders has now
made everything secure. There is fresh
talk about impeachment, but the truth
is We cannot spare the President from
the arena just yet; there would be q
fearful state of political indffferepcs if
he did not "come down" to disturb the
waters occasionally. Keep him in the
White House another year, and the
Republicans will be sure of the next
Presidency, whoever is their candidate.

The New York Times says one thing
more is needed in our Railroads, and
that is privacy. In Europe a small
party may, If they. like, and If they
will pay for IT, be by themselves, and
ride with such llveliness or somnolency
as best suits them, 10 their journeys s
end. The belief Is expressed that II
will "pay" to put on a limited number
OF European irst-class carriages with
perhaps some American improvements
therein. This improvement must come
in time, and we know no better oppor-
tunity Lhan the one which Is about to
draw so large transit of foreign traE-
fic across our vast continent, to make
the Pacific Railroad valley the greatest
and best in the world.

The ConspIrators ID the DE- "a

The Washington Star publishes the
following extracts from private letter
dated at Fort Jefferson, Florida, Au-
gust IS:
"Lhere are but few prisoners here
now, forty-tive in all, and two-thIrds of
them, If not more, are United States
soldiers, who have been sent here for
various crimes, principally desertion.
The conspirators are lodged like the
other prisoners in the second tier OF
casemates. Their quarters are cool, dry
and airy, and command quite as pleas
ant a view as there is. They manage
TO live pretty we'll, with their govern
ment rations aud what their friends
send them. Arnold is employed as a
clerk, and seems satisfied. SpangleF
and O'Laughlin work at their trades as
carpenters. Mudd works now in the
carpenter shop, and is getting quite
handy with the tools. They all are In
excellent health, but are a little thinner
than is natural for them. They have
the benefit of the library, and Mudd
and Arnold read some. On the whole
they are much better of than they
would be anywhere else, believe GER
tRinly they are better of than any
prisoners / ever saw. A reporter visit
ed the post this morning, and Mudd
expressed some fears that he would
publish something concerning them,
and said that they would much rather
be left alone, as they already suffered u
good deal from newspaper accounts"

APRoPoS ofthe recent Cabinet excite
ments, good story is told how a little
mistake produced n great, not TO say II
ludiCrous, ConnmOtiOn i'll the minds Of
certain prominent "plRce hunters" 1t
seems Mr.. Seward wished to see Mr..
Blacque, the Turkish Minister, and
sent for him. By some mistake the
message found its way to the Office of
Hon. Jerry Black, chief among the ex-
pectants OF Cabinet portfolios. He was
out of town, and the message was
opened by his son. AS Mr.. Seward
does not write "A very legible hand, the
conclusion was arrived at that break
up in the Cabinet was imminent, and
that Mr.. Black was wanted for consul
tation. So he was telegraphed for in
stnnter. He received the message all
right and got here next morning, took
a carriage with Marshal Lamon, and
rode to the State Department and found
Mr.. Seward just going to Cabinet meet
ing, who said, walk in, gentlemen,
three hours and Mr.. Seward didn't
come. They thought it curious, but
called again next day. "Well, MIR.
Black, what can l do for you said the
bland Secretary. 81 came in response
to your dispatch" said Mr.. Black.
"Dlspatch," "dispatch," said Mr.. Sew
ard; ~ sent you no dispatch" And
tinkling his little bell, he caused inqni-
ry to be made, when the error was dis
covered. An explosion followed, and
Mr.. Black disappeared. This was the
foundation for the report that Mr..
Seward had telegraphed to jerry Black
to come and fix up the broken Cabinet.

cloud hangover AlbanO.F After while
it seemed to clear up, but during the
day the cholera broke out. Within
twenty-four hours there were over one
hundred deaths. The people fled as
fast as they could. The Romans re-
turned 10 town, many to find death
here after few hours, one lady dying
on the road. The disease attacke ed the
royal family OF Naples. and has carried

near the Plaza de VeneziH. The Prin-
cess Colonna died after few hours
illness. Mr.. Ives, (American sculptor }
lost one of his twin boys.
The state of AlbAno became horrible
no one would bury the dead. The
ZouaVes were stationed there, and one
of their officers said, ''who will follow
me?" Several promptly y9lun-
on Saturday, that in two days
the Zouaves buried ninety-six per
sons. The people abandoned their
houses, leaving the sick to die alone.
From all accounts can get, the reports
handed down of the Tavages of the
plague itself were no worse. Men were
intoxicated, singing and running
through the streets. The shops were all
closed ana groups Of women and chill
dren were hanging round, afraid 10 en-
ter the houses.
Cardinal Altiero, the Bishop of AL
bano, went out from Rome Immediate

and comforting his people. Early on
Sunday morning he took the disease,
and died in the afternoon. He died at
his post, and great praise is given him,
that he was faithful even unto death. I"
All the towns on the Alban hills refused
to allow any one from Albano to visit
them; SO the mass fed to Rome and to

and bread are now daily sent out to
them. Mr.. Ives aud family came in on
Friday. His nurse was attacked the
same evening, but has recovered; and
two of his children are ill with diar-

The "Mar~eIIIaise'' Again Played In
Paris, ...,

A Paris letter TO the London Star
notes among the incidents of the day
the reform which the Austrian baud
tial music of France. For the last six
teen years the Parisisns had no other
patriotic air than "Partant pour la
Syrie," but the other evening at the
Cirque de l'Imperatrice, the demand
for ''La Marseillaise'' was SO pressing,
so violent, that the Austrian band,
yielding to the Shrieks OF the people,
struck up that splendid, that most war
like of times, the melody OF which went
ringing through the house as spirit
moving strain, with all its bursts OF
rich harmony and its mournful vail
ings. Truly the enthusiasm of the
public was indescribable. Thousands
OF people were there exulting in the
beating time to Its rhythm, and shout
ing in their full-heartedness of admira-
ton. The correspondent says: 81
understand now why the present Gov
ernment breads allowing this popular
and military air being played and sung
in the streets of Paris, or the towns OF
France. The effect OF IL is most stirring
and irresistible. I understand also
why, in the Crimea AS well as in Italy;
why, at Malakoff AZ well ss at Sol
ferino; why, on the barricades as we'll
as on the battlefield, this national
tune, this exciting ditty, produced such
exultation among the combatants. Oi
all national songs, of all MAJ ching
airs, none has a more maddening effect
than La MarseI1laise;' none is more ap-
propriRte TO awaken ideas of slaughter,
of vengeance, of sabre clashing, bullets
hying. horsemen charging, and stand
ards waving. And this may perhaps
explain why most of the papers of the
opposition now express the hope that
| the French authorities, having allowed
the Austrian band 10 play that patriotic
| tune, the same favor will be granted to
all musicians in this counLry.'' u-.
