War Preparations Everywhere.

L y
Tho London correspondent Of
the New York Times, writes
Whatever may be the cause, all
Europe is arming and preparing
for great struggle. Russia has
made a levy en- mdsse, proclaimed
new emancipation in Poland,
and is making and importing war
material, and pushing on its rail
way system with great energy.
Austria is using every effort to &C.
ment the empire and reorganize
the army, so as to have a peace es-
tablishment of 100000 men, and
war complement Of 100000, armed
with the Remington breech-loader
and improved artillery. France
has increased annual conscription
and reserves and the Chassepot
brecch-loadcr.is probably to be su-
perscded by the new gun Of Mr..
Bonin, which fires twenty-five
balls minute, while the Emperor
has himself invented q breech-loa-
ding four-pounder, the lightest,
most rapid, and most effective
fcld-piece ever made. The entire
cavalry, armed with this piece,
will act as flying artillery, and nee
dle-guns will be held out Of range
for any effective use. OF course
Prussia will do her utmost tokeep
her present vantage. She has
bought one Of the finest ironclads
in England, built for the Sultan.
Others are supposed to be building
here and in America. Whatever
dulness there may be in other
manufactures, ships-of-war, arms
and powder are in lively demand.
In England there is some per-
turbation. The army cannot be
raised above $4,000, with an un-
certain contingent Of volunteers
and militia. There is no organi-
ton to feed or take care Of what
force might be depended upon.
Conscription is out Of the question.
Parliament will not vote it the
people will not submit to it; the
Government dare not apply it to
Ireland. The colonies call on Eng
land for help in every emergency,
but never help her. in her need.
There is q plan for uniting the
whole empire under one system ;
each colony to be represented in
Parliament, and to pay its proper
ton Of the common defence. The
Austrians talk Of beginninga a ma
Wy but it all seems very hopeless.
There is q want Of vigor and force
in the central life. The political
prestige Of England has declined !;
her military power is considera-
bic her credit is shattered. There
is money enough here but the
securities are wanting. The en-
peror of Russia raised a loan Of
G6, 100000 in London this week at
81, and was offered e2O,OOO,OO0,
but the English railways cannot
borrow. Great public works are
stopped for want Of funds. Money
goes to Russia and America instead,
because public confidence in Eng
lish companies is shaken. Then,
if a war does come, and England
cannot keep out Of it, everybody
knows that an army can land on
the coast, and in three marches
take London and it's great arsenal,
Woolwich, when England would
be utterly powerless and at the
mercy Of The invader; for there is
but one greatarsenal, one military
depot and the little army, defeat
cd in one action, has no line to fall
back upon, and no reserves. The
bravest people in the world are
powerless without organization
and means.

HONEST JOHN BRIGHrs OPINIoN.-That noble

said good thing at monster meeting OF unen-

man expressed his feelings in the following
words :-'' If the people of Old England are
drunken, ignorant, demoralized and unfit to be
entrusted with the franchise, as alleged by the
governing class, they have become so from the

NOTHING BUT MAN, Grace Greenwood"
tells the following interesting incident in con-
nection with the late President In the Spring
of 1864 | attended the last morning reception of
the season at the White House, taking with me
my little daughter, who had intense desire to
see the good President who had set the poor
slaves free. had not Lincoln for more
than year, and as | drew near to where he
stood, going patiently through his weary, mono
tonous task of hand-shaking, | wondered if he
would remember my face among the countless
faces that had beset and besieged him, or passed
in mute review before him, since the pleasant
evening on which had conversed most freely
with him and heard most of his easy, charming,
cordial talk. But before could be presented,
he gave shock of pleasant surprise by
stretching his hand over the shoulder of gentle
man with whom he conversing, and greeting
me by name, with the smile and tone of an old
friend. When he perceived little A, the pleased
look of true child-lover came into his eyes
- Is this your little daughter ~ he said. elbow
90 you do dear ?' AS he took her hand, the
child raised her large brown eyes, full of tender
reverence. The look seemed to touch him he
smiled smile that was benedction, then bent
and kissed her. She blushed, but said nothing till
we had passed on step or two, when she ex-
claimed, why, he is only a man, after all p
Something in the tone struck the President, and
he asked what she had said When | repeated
the naive remark, his worn face again lit by that
sudden smile of quaint, kindly humor so peculiar
to him-that fash of soul-sunshine that once
seen could never be forgotten.

PooR ANDY.-A Western correspondent says
that wherever the cars stop on the route trav-
eled by the President while " swinging round''
last Fall, some one is sure to come out on the
platform and formally @ deliver the national flag,
with its SO stars and the Constitution" to the
inhabitants of the town. Though so often re-
peated, the ceremony is always productive OF
great amusement, according to the wit and spirit
of the performance. Was ever poor devil SO

people as Andrew johnson?

OF CouRsE.-The Morning Call seems to doubt
the genuineness of the present Congress, Judging
from the following reference which it makes to
the Franco-Mexican matter =" The spirit and in
tent of Mr.. Stewards last dispatch are undoubt-
edly correct and they must be carried out in order
to uphold our national power. If they are not
carried out, it will be because of the unworthy
conduct of those who are the assumed represen-
tatves of the people in Congress" The editor
had probably been reading one of Andrew John
sons speeches of nearly year ago.

A WIDOW FOR ME.-Let youth sing the praises
of bushes, and thrill with the rapturous bliss that
rises unbidden, and fushes the brain at the
thought of kiss. 1t is all very well to be
laden with passionate JOY when you see the in

widow for me.
Not fig would give for the rapture that swells
in the breast of boy, when Cupid has helped
him to capture boarding school casket of joy.
don't care for bloom and fine dres sses, but
Paradise comes when a widow in weeds
and soft tresses-oh that is a charm for me.
Then let youth sing the praises of beauty and
kneel before maidenhood's shrine, to ringets
and bushes pay duty, and dream that such
things divine but give me the flash that
entrances, the heart that was bound and is free,
the eye with the soul in its gladness-oh a
gentle young widow for me.
