was extremely surprised at seeing the young
Queen Of Belgium driving her own light
carriage, drawn by four small ponies, and
saluting in a friendly manner all those who
raised Their hats. The simple allurements and
the perfectly modest bearing of this young aud
charming Queen seem to express that-I have
no pretensions to be political woman; reign,
but do not ignore that others govern for me,
and have no desire to take their place. Ahl
here we are far enough from the sovereigns
who from the summit of their false head dresses
preside at councils, select ministers, organize
distant expeditions, and, while living sumptu-
ously despatch soldiers 10 be killed, in order to
please the Archbishop of Granada or the Sister
Patrocinto.
Ano her reads, "Absurdity of the French Con
stltution, " and runs:-It appears that the British
constitution forbids the sovereign from speaking
about politics. The French constitution is less
severe, and only refuses this privilege to news
paper editors.
A third is entitled Robbery of the Nation"
which says:-Monday, August l0.-Seyenty-sx
years ago to-day lin 1922 the people pillaged
the Tuileries. To-day it is exactly the contrary.
A fourth Nj. Rochetort heads "Unpopularity
of the French Government and writes: All
the arrests in the world will not weaken the
effect of the lesson given to the Tuilerles. What
revolutionary idea could have possessed you to
send the hope of your France mot mineJ TO be
directly hissed by the students? You ought to
have been awsIe Of your unpopularity, particu-
larry among young people. If you had con-
error-tbat lie, unless you intend it as a provo
cation on your part; unless you cherish the idea
of recommending the 2d of December with chill
dren, under the pretext that you have SO well
succeeded with grown people. Your system is
so sympathetic that you have found means for
even infancy to revolt, and you would do well
now to construct Mazas for insurgents of the
tender age of three years and q half. And am
prosecuted as being dangerous mau 1t is you
who ought to be condemned for driving students
to hate each other.
Election Votes i'm Past Years.
The Paris Epoque publishes curious docu-
ment consisting of table giving the results of
the partial elections in France since 1868, with
the number OF votes In favor of the opposition
and government candidates in the same circum.
scriptions at the last general election. In the
constituencies referred to, which number dftv-
two, the official candidates, who in 1868 OBJ
tanned 1,032 367 votes, received only $40, ,759,
while 525, 290 have been given to the opposition
aspirants, in place OF 307, ,295 in 1863 Therefore
since the general election, and in ffty-two cir
cumscrlptions alone, the Government has lost
ls2, 608 votes while It's opponents have gained
2lS, 600, constituting nearly double the number
tLey obtained Eve years back. On examining
the definite results 1t is found that thirty.si3
candidates of the administration have been
elected to sixteen independents.
GERMANY.
Military Conferences at st. Petersburg,
1t now leaks out that the principal motive for
the military conference in st. Petersb burg, soon
to take place, is the invention of q new musket
with explosive proectile, made by Herr Dire Vse.
Jr., son of the inventor of the needle-gun. It
seems that this musket, intended as Prussia's
reply to the French revolving gun, is looked
upon by Russia as very daDgerous-hence its
desire to have it abolished. The construction of
this "erenade" musket is said to be the follow
ing:-Its calibre about three-quarters OF an
inch, the projectile of iron, shaped like plum,
about two inches long and loaded with DO yder.
The charge of the musket is about one and
quarter ounces, the weight of the projectile
three ounces, and It's velocity such that it ex.
podes at distance OF over two thousand yards.
The ammunition is in other respects the same
firing is also similar. At the Prussian factory
OF Sommerda large quantities of these muskets
are in process of completion.

The Queen of Prussia is still staying at
Coblentz, and 1t is yet uncertain whether she

health, or return forth with to this city or Sans
Souci. In any case she will not accompany
the King in his projected journey to the duchies
of schleswig Holstein any more than she has
hitherto joined him in his visits to Hanover,
Nassau etc. etc. The Kings reception at Wies
D8den was most enthusiastic one, though he
did not stay there long. 1t seems that this
watering place and Klssengen have become
favorite resorts of crowned heads, and the elite
of fashion in preference to the far-famed Baden
