FOREIGN NOTES.

The "Ffance" confirms the statement tina
the Emperor has specially deprecated the us
Of all irritating language against Prussia b!
the French official press.
1T is said of the late Mr.. John Douglas
Cook, editor Of the Saturday Review, that h'
never wrote single line in the journal he ere.
ated and watched over necessarily till the day
of his death.
Rabbi NJ. Newman, Of st. Petersburg
Russia, in view of many fatal results from cir.
cumcision among the children Of that city, has
left the people Of his district free to choose
whether they will dispense with the rite.
The feminine uprising Of six thousand wo.
men Of properly in Manchester, England, de-
mand ing to be registered as lawful voters, and
other demonstrations in favor Of female suffrage
in that country, are indications that woman is to
be enfranchised sooner than we have imagin-
| ed.
The Journal du Havro says: "The Trans
atlantic cable from Brest to New York, an un-
dertaking which appeared to commence nnder
such brilliant auspices, does not appear to go
on so we'll as the shareholders might desire.
Great fear is felt that the United States will re-
fuse the concession-so far as concerns that
government-to NJ. Erlanger, who has COM
mitted the great crime, in their eyes, of having
been the banker Of the Southern States during
the rebellion"
Imperial France breathes easier. The
official organ Of the government, with the I'M
posing gravity Of heavy type, publishes flat
contradiction 10 the statement ofthe Indepsn-
dence Beige that the young Prince Imperia
had said: "When shall be Emperor Ishall
not allow any one to be without religion" The
official denial concludes thus: "These words
we're never made use of by the Prince impe-
rial, who, at his present age, would not think
Of interfering with political matters"
M. Henri Rochefort has adopted singular
expedient for casting ridicule upon the French
Government. He prepared number Of the
Lanterne, composed exclusively from tn Q first
line 10 the last Of extracts from the political
works of Napoleon III. These extracts, how
ever, appeared 30 Objectionable that Of the
many printers to whom the collection was sub
mitted. not one dared to print it. n. Henri
Rochefort is thus enabled to say that the
works even OF Napoleon III cannot be publish
ed in France.
Recently, the Emperor Napoleon, on his
way to the camp, found at Chalons train
drawn by locomotive heated with petroleum,
to take him on the remaining twenty eight Kill
ometres. He got on the locomotive with the
engineers, to observe the working ofit. For o
long time past, the Moniteur says, the Emperor
has taken great interest in the researches and
experiments that had to be made before the
desired end could be attained, and petroleum
used as combusLible in locomotives. The
plan is the following: On brick slab, behind a
vertical grating, is burnt stream Of oil flowing
from tap, by means Of which it lis perfectly
easy to regulate the production of the steam
and the development Of the power. The Moni-
teur says the experiment was completely sue
cessful.
: Private letters from authentic sources in
Rome state that the bishops OF the Greek, Ar
menian and HISTORIAN Churches ara 10 be in
Eoatssddk "a ssdkep paattead the Gcame2isat Qoa9ek end
voting. The reason for this is that the Catho-
lie Church has always recognized the orders OF
these churches to be valid, although they ere
in schism. On the other hand, there never
was any question Of inviting the Anglican pre-
lates to attend the Council, because the orders
OF that communion have always been deemed
invalid, and both bishops and clergy looked
upon as mere laymen. 1t is supposed that the
Government of Russia will do its utmost to
prevent the bishops of the Empire from attend
ing the Council, for in that country Erastian-
ism, pure and simple, is the order OF the day.
The bishops of Greece proper will also very
probably be prevented by Russian intrigue
from attending; but from all parts Of Turkey,
Bulgaria, Asia Minor, Palestine and Syria, a
great number of Greek prelates will proceed to
Rome.
