"IF THERE is A WAR r'-So says
Italy /; aud she has sent a dispatch to
the various Governments Of Europe,
stating that in case Of q war between
France and Prussia, she intends to be
neutral, and look on like Uncle Samuel,
who will watch proceedings with his
hands in his pockets. However, those
Empires are at peace, and from appear
ances will remain so for some time TO
come. Bismsrk has obtained three
months leave Of absence ; and the Ian
guage Of the king of Prussia is uuusu-
ally mild. Besides, Napoleon protests
that his warlike preparations mean
nothing. With all this calmness and
~pleasantness, the scene is disturbed by
Italy with q declaration that j there is
a war, she will remain neutral. What
a cheering suggestion, surely, with the
present equable and soothing condition
Of affairs. It means something, though.
Beneath the unrippled surface Of public
affairs, there is something hidden which
to the eye Of the distant observer is In
noticed, aud, probably, cannot be seen.
Although the crowned heads OF Europe
are evidently preparing 10 reduce their
armies, it is very evident that the tricky
Napoleon is doing his best to have ev-
erything in readiness for any emergen-
cy. We have been told BY a man who
knows, that his secret %storehouses are
filed with weapons Of war, and that he
has dissected vessels Of iron in various
places ready to be put together in a few
days, of which the world at large appa-
rently knows nothing. 1t is to be hoped
that no more blood will be shed BY ter
rible wars but these mysterious move
meuts, workings aud messages, have a
meaning not to be looked upon in a
peaceful aspect.

Errp.opp,yARY HsRorsN OF A Boy

EXTRAORDINARY HgRorsN OF A Boy
The Rev. E. J. Beck, the Bishop OF
Newfouudlaud's Commissary, relates an
heroic incident furnished from that
colony:
A poor boy, whose name no one
knows, but we may hope it is recorded
in the Book of Life, found three little
children who, like himself had been
washed ashore from one of the many
wrecks, wandering along that dreary
coast in the driving sleet. They we're
CRYING bitterly, having been parted from
their parents and not knowing whether
they were drowned or saved the poor
lad took them to a sheltered spot,
plucked moss for them and made them
a rude soft bed, and then, taking of his
W coat to cover them, sat by them
all the night long, soothing them until
they fell asleep. In the morning, leav-
ing them still sleeping, he went in search
of the parents, and to his great joy
found them looking for the children,
whom they had given up for dead. He
| directed them where 10 find them, and
then vent himself to try to find some
place Of shelter and refresbment. But
when tue parents were returning with
their recovered little ones, they found
their preserver lying quito dead upon
the snow, not far from where they parted
with him. The long exposure in his
exhausted state, was o much for his
little strength, and having saved his
little charge-a stranger to them, rs
they were to him-he lay down and
died.

TIE WORKING PEopLE.-High wages
are in many instances paid to workmen
whoIhave a "knack" in their particular
trade. Thus the managing director Of
the Mersey Steel and Iron Works in Liv-
erpool stated recently before the Trades
Union Commission, that he employed
two mechanics-cbief hammermen-aI
S62 so and $57 50 per week, with per.
quisites for teaching apprentices, making
their total income from So, 500 to $4,000
in gold. These men are without scien'
ti6c education, and had simply extraor.
binary tact and common sense. Another
man, formerly in the same position, is
now the owner of a large work employ
ing 1900 or 1000 men. They are pc
culiarly gifted by nature, and are con
sidered the best hammermen in England
They do no manual work themselves,
but simply direct others. There are Il
few instances Of equally high wages in
this country. A workman employed in
q pork-packing establishment in Gin
ciuuati, is reported to receive $3.50 pei
day, and there are workmen at Pitts.
burg who are paid from $50 to $3.50 pei
week for the same class of work per.
formed by the English hammermen.

PoLIrIcs AND BUSINESS. - The inju-
rious effects Of excited political feeling
upon the business relations Of men,
even of the same party, is clearly ex-
empli6ed by the developments upon the
trial in New York Of the suit instituted
to set aside the Wood leases" One
witness, in explaining his reason for
making SOM years ago charges against
Wood which he would not now support
under oath, said: Nothing Of the
kind ever occurred, because knew all
about the lease. There vas never any
intention to prevent Mr.. Wood from
getting the amount of his money, if he
was entitled to it, but at that time he
was very troublesome to Tammany Hall,
aud it became necessary to give him a
bad character, and we did So" The
breath Of popular opinion is so variable
that a man, without having changed
his nature, may be a sinner or a saint,
according rs be is troublesome or not
to the leaders Of his party. The intro
duction Of such IN element into the con
tracts Of daily life needs no long
comment to insure sever condemna-
ton.

CAssERLY ON McCLELLAS.-Last Friday
evening the Democrats Of San Francisco
held a ratification meeting. Eugene
Casserly was one Of the speakers, and
among other remarks, as he is reported
in the ALd, he said
It was good for all to be there; il brought
back to his mind the best days Of that cam
paign, four years ago, when they met to bat
.ie under the most overwhelming odds, under
the most gallant leader that ever led 4 par
y to victory or defeat, George B. Mcclellan.
1t strikes US that this was a figure of
speech that will hardly hold good long
enough to have a good laugh ut it The
gallant leader (McClellan) did not lead
the Democratic party to victory four
years ago-not much, he didn't. On
the contrary, the history of tb,
United States does not point to a mor'
signal political defeat than that Of tb'
Democratic party when the "gallan
leader" was their Standard bearer fou,
years ago. As a leader of armies
against the enemies Of the Government
Mcclellan was about equally successful
aud ct this late day to crown him Will
laurels of victory Of any kind is to bell,
history-and the mournful mounds ovel
the graves of thousands of patriots or
che Chickahominy give silent contradic
ton to his merit, as did the ballot
boxes of the country in 1864.

WOMAN, it is asserted, does not nl'
ways succeed in acquiring a perfect
knowledge of the handicraft she com
mences to learn, because she is con.
scious that at some future time she may
be diverted from her trade to take
charge of a household Of her own. The
different aims of the male and female
artisan are graphically described in
Harper's Bazaar, by o wood engraveri
who had endeavored to instruct females
In the higher branches Of his art. The
eugraver says: " When q young man
comes to me and begins his work, he
feels that it is his life's business. He
is to cut his future out Of the little
blocks before him. Wife, family, home,
happiness, are all to be carved by bis
hand, and hc settles steadily and earn
estly to his labor, determined to master
1t, and with every Indictment squirting
him IN. He cannot marry until he
knows his trade. 1t is exactly the other
way with the girl. She may be as poor
as the youth, and rs wholly dependent
upon her labor for q living. But she
feels that she will probably be married
by-aud-by, and then she must give UP
wood engraving. She goes on listless-
ly /; she has no ambition to excel she
does not feel that her happiness depends
upon it. She will marry, and then hel
husbands wages will support her. She
will not say so, but she thinks so, and
il spoils her work.

A PAINFUL FAILURE. - Yesterday

There was, as usual, a large collection

hat a second time" Hip ! hip !" His
own voice only vas heard in the hurrah.
He looked CONTEMPORARY around at
the gazing crowd, seeing no indication
Of an intention to hurrah or the part OF

upon his head with a muttered remark
about some place-probably Fort Yuma
