sity. sSss
LONDON, August 80, 1858.
The possibility Of war on the Continent is more
and more discussed BY the leading European jour-
mails. 80
The opinion generally expressed is that Prussia,
tnoush ready for war, really desires the continuance
OF peace but that to Austria and Russia peace Is in
dispensabe. and that the French Emperor Is now
undoubtedly prepared for conflict but his policy is
uncertain.
The Lt0eral, OF Toulouse, says:-Marshal Mel who
on visit to that CITY, told the Council General that
the army was animated by the best spirit, its ar
mament was complete the arsenals were full of ma
terial, the financial resources Of the empire were
lnexhaustible, and, compared with other Powers
France alone was equally ready for peace or war.
Some people think that the necessity Of divert
ing the discomfort Of certain classes in France may
cause the Emperor to adopt warlike policy They say
the election by SO large majority Of the liberal
candidate, M. Grevy, in the Department OF the Jura
the manifestations Of general dsanection on the part
OF the students Of the medical schools and UNIVERSE
ties in Paris, the great success Of the Lanterne,
and the deep and widespread Indignation
at Its suppression are signs Of the public
temper sufficient In themselves to alarm the EN-
peror. Add to these circumstances the expense Of
keeping an abnormal armament on foot, and the
encouragement to war offered by the success Of the
last oan there is reason, these people say to expect
= war In autumn or spring. Confederation of these
views is sought in recent leading editorial In the
Constitutional urging the clai ms Of the Empress
Eugene to the Regency. 1t is argued that such
claims as these would not be put forth at this time
were 1t not anticipated that the Emperor might have
70 lead an army and be exposed to the perls Of the
ueld.
!. On the other hand. to AFFECT these forebodines
there are the oficiai pledges Of peace daily made
she advice officially given to act as II as sured Of
peace; and the argument 80 frequently urged by the
French government that their very completeness Of
the armament is guaranty Of peace.
Recent and sudden changes Of feeling on the
Bourse and the variations In rentes explained as
results OF the alternate ascendancy OF these opposing
views at the financial centre of France.

BERLIN, August Ia, 1858.
In the absence OF other political news, the public
press Is still dwelling upon the Usedom note to General
La Marmora and the dismissal OF General Vogel Won
Falkenstein. In vain has the Prussian government
tried to quash the former matter by declaring both the
war record Of 1865 published by the general stan ofthe
Prusslan army and the note written by Count Usedom
to the Italian COMMANDMENTS Chief as non-ofncal.
General La Marmora's indiscretion in revealing the
contents Of the note dated June IT, 1885, Is still on the
tapis and an article In the Italian journal Optnt0e,
Of Florence, has poured oil on the nre It says that

Wapted-An Editor.

THE London Punch, whose serious sayings are
sometimes far more brilliant than its attempts
at wit, declares that Parliament wants an
such order as fit them to become law" Am
biguity and obscurity appear to be the leading
characteristics of the enactments of the Eng
lish Legislature, due solely to their not having
been properly revised and corrected, before
being stamped with the impress of authority.
What is true with regard to the legislation of
Great Britain in this respect holds with far
greater force in the United States. The acts
which are ground out by the legislative mills
of this country, national, State and municipal,
are chiefly remarkable for their orudeness,
ambiguity, and conflicting provisions. Any
person who desires to appreciate the full force
of the evil has but to step into well-stocked
law library and glance at the backs of the
ponderous tones, each of which contains the
enactments of single session of some
legislative body. 1t is no unusual
thing for the Solons who gather every winter
at Harrisburg to turn out volume of from
one thousand to fifteen hundred octave pages
of legislative literature. That any one mem
ber of the body takes the trouble to peruse
the book from beginning to end, or to glance
over all the slips, as they are laid one by one
on his desk during the progress of the session,
is an idea entirely at variance with our know
ledge of legislative activity. In the latter
stages of the session the business of legisla-
tion is transacted with lightning rapidity, bill
after bill being disposed of by its title, fire.
4uently at the rate of one per minute. 1t is
safe to say that the proof-reader of the Gov
ernment printer is the only living being at the
Capital who ever 'Jegins with the title page
and closes with "The Eud." At every other
State Capital, and at Washington as well, the
process of Legislation is about on parallel
with that at Harrisburg. Haste is the ruling
principle, and quantity the apparent test of
the wants of the country.
The fruits of this reckless fashion of manu-
featuring law are seen in the reports of cases
which are carried to the courts of highest re-
sort for final adjudication. Every State in
the Union, not even excepting the most dimi-
nutive, oontrives to turn out its annual vol
ume of Supreme Court Reports, while In
some Of the larger States from two to six vol
umes are produced yearly. great portion
of these reports is necessarily taken up with
decisions upon mOOted points OF law and

Have We the Devil Among USE

III is not a polemic discussion that we are about
to engage in. OF course we have the devil
invisible, and the devil traditional, both OF
which are good old-fashioned orthodox devils,
with tails and horns, and even hoofs. None of
MS pretend to doubt that such devil is among
us, that he uses sulphur as scent and aotu
ally exists upon birthstone. 1t is not this sort
form of his Satanic majesty form so simple
that it is we'll for us to question whether Or
not there is playful element in his character.
Then we have the word of distinguished reli-

The Opera BOuffe,

"Let me write peoples songs, and let who
will make their laws" is the sayings OF wise
man, and wise man whose head is not too
much bemuddled by his wisdom, will never
consider as commonplace, trifiing, or beneath
his notice, anything that delights, amuses, or
instructs the great mass OF his fellows.
The majority OF people in this world are es.
sentially common place In their ideas, and the
number is comparatively small of those who
have the ability LEISURE or requisite cultivation
TO appreciate or understand the higher and
nobler forms OF art, literature, or science. You
may drive a horse to water but you cannot
make him drink and you may take an
average specimen Of humanity night after
night TO the opera house to hear the best music,
and nothing will prevent him from yawning
over FideIio, or nOdding during the recitatives
of Don GfouGnni, while his eyes will sparkle
and he Will encore such musical trash as

until the singers lungs are exhausted.
But, says the advocate of nigh art, we must
cultivate the public taste up to the highest
standard, and we can only do this by banishing
low and vulgar models and keeping the best
works before the people. This is all true to a
certain extent, and we heartily wish that Eide.
Ito could be performed ten times where it is

the fact that the best muslc the best books, and

Mozart. Mendelssohn aud Beethoven are too
often performed to a beggarly account of empty
benches, while Odenbach fills the house from

~ were otherwise; but so 1t is and all we can do
is to accept the situation, and hope for an inn
proved state of affairs at some future day,
The critical star-gazer, however, whose admit
ration for high art will not permit him to
endure anything but the best, fumes and frets
and vents his spleen In VIII Die columns OF type,
In the attempt to prove that Ofsnbach's music
worthy OF praise. Tne result is that the
manager who stakes his fortune on Oifenbach
smiles as he glances from the critics dispar.
agements to his bank account; and the public
wrong as usual-accounts the critic a fool.
So much for sacrificing onesself In the cause
of right. Our candid opinion is that art,
whether IL be high or low-so long as IL is true
art-is to be encouraged as means of culture,
education, and refinement, independently of the
immediate pleasure which may be derived
from 1t.
