these ideas are of constant application and
force. There is no community in the country
that does not equally denounce as intolerable
the burdens that radical fury, folly, blundering
and corruption have put upon the people.
Upon what can the radicals count if Maine
goes against them? They may get Massachu-
sets and South Carolina.
Europe In America-Our Foreign Correspond.
ence.
The Atlantic telegraph supplies us with the
skeleton of the news from Europe, and as far
as it goes it does well enough, especially on
points dealing Immediately with commercial
interests, for mornings reading; but the
gist and substance of affairs as they occur in
the Old World can only be supplied by the
detailed accounts which our correspondents
send to us by every mail. The telegraph is
very useful in its way, but it only supplies the
outline of the news. 1t is the correspondence
which fills in the picture, which gives color,
form and the realization Of events as they
occur and brings the social and political life Of
Europe home to us as if presented with the
fidelity Of a photograph. The Atlantic telegraph
news may be regarded as the introduction to
the story. The correspondence fills up the sue
ceeding chapters and makes the history COM
plete. Take, for example, the letters of our
correspondents from various points in Europe
published in the last two issues of the HERALD.
Here our readers are told how the shooting
festival in Vienna brought forth the rival am
bitions Of the different parts of Germany; how
the skill of the Tyrolese had to succumb to
the superior weapon of the Swiss republicans
in rifle shooting the contest lying by conces-
sion of all parties between the two nations;
how our American sharpshooters from Illinois
and Ohio demeaned themselves, and how one
of them from Highland, ILL.,, q resident in
- United States for twenty years, won
goblet for good shooting; how few
ladies from Cincinnati were electrified and
sprung from their seats on the stand
when the Stars and Stripes passed in
the grand procession, ''carried by a
young giant born on the banks Of the
Joined in the sports, and, setting aside his dig
nifty, took a shot or two at the targets, drank a
glass of lager and slipped schoppen Of Rhine
wine to the health of thes Empress and to the
prosperity of the Schuetzenfest; how the
Queen of England is making pleasant excur-
sions in the gorges and over the lakes in the
vicinity of Lucerne, regardless of Cabinet COM
plcations at home or imaginary "Fenian"
assassinations abroad, making sketches of the
charming scenery of the Rougloch, as she has
done in the Highlands of Scotland many
time; how our Minister, George Bancroft,
rested from his diplomatic labors for while to
taste the pleasant and refreshing waters Of
Homburg- Montes; how Garibaldi is hob
rheumatism, at Caprera; how his sons,
Menotti and Ricciotti, are visiting, with the
rapidity of flight of wild birds, all the cities
Of Italy, intent upon organizing another attack
upon the Papaoy, while the Pope is calmly
awaiting the protection of Providence and the
organization of foreign brigades.
All this, as well as the doings of aspiring
impresarii, who have an eye upon the
patronage Of the American public during the
coming season, our readers are made acquainted
with in our European correspondence. Maple
son, II appears, has miscalculated in his ar
rangements with the Swedish songstress,
Nilsson. She will not come here just now.
The European engagements entered into by
Madame Van Zandt, we also learn from our
correspondents, compel her to decline the
lattering offer of Mapleson to visit this country
but there is no reason to complain Of the
musical carte de yisits which the London man.
ager offers for our acceptance.
Constantinople, it seems, has been recently
o great centre of attraction. The princes
OF Europe have been making an incur
sion upon the hospitality of the Sultan,
and his Ottoman Majesty has not dis
honored the reputation of Oriental princes
in the freedom of their gifts or the dis
play Of their magnidcence. Although the
treasury of the Sublime Porte is reported to be
somewhat embarrassed, yet we learn that the
Prince of Denmark and Prince Napoleon and
an ex-Lord Mayor Of London and many other
transient visitors were the recipients of costly
jewels from the hand of the Sultan. Then we
are told how our own Minister, in obedience to
the resolution of Congress, appeared at one Of
the Sultan's grand audiences in the plain even
ing dress of an American citizen, and how
cordial the Sultan was when receiving him,
and how the Turkish Minister, Fuad Pacha,
made the significant remark to Mr.. Morris,
''You represent nation that requires no
tinsel."
This pleasant picture of social life in Europe,
as furnished by the HERALD correspondents,
almost brings Europe home to our households
in America. We see what people are doing
