Europe IN TRANsITIoN-The appear
ance of France in the fed as the armed
opponent of national unity throws a veil
of uncertainty around the INN, diare fu-
ture Of Europe. The leaders of national
unity are in Italy weak, and in Germany
polite; so that the resistance of a great
military power, like France, may arrest
the movement for a time. But if the
movement in favour of allowing the peo-
pie of one race to gather together and
form a s%elf-governing community be in
deed one of those strong and steady cur

be held out. there would be terrible risk
in seconding the foreigner. Patriotism
would become a potent force among their
subjects, and The longing desire already
SO strong In their armies to f4ht on The
German side would nrcesSari Y assert it's
sway. Last, not least, Prussia would then
resort to other means of perSuation to
what she is willing or in a position to
use now. Thus, there is every prospect
that however little in the way Of unity
may be effected at Manlch, it will not
amount to preparing the ground for actual
|diSuni0n. As far as can be forpsttn, the
worst 10 be anticipated from the Munich
Conference is that it VIII prevent The
Southern armies, however gallant, from
becoming as efficient as the Pru>sran.

"DIDN'T FOSTER NO SUCH FEELIN'.'-
Deacon Shines was an auSrere man, who
followed oystrri' G, aud was one OF the
hard shell persuasion. The deacon 'allus
made il a plnt' to tell his customers hat
the money which he ret, ived for 'isters''
did not belong to him. "The good Fa-
Their made the the listers" sad the deacon,
''and the money is hlS'n; I'm only a

way Of getting about ten cents more on a
hundred by his pecnIiar method OF dong
business for somebody else. One Sunday
morning the old fellow was tearing round
from house to house with a suspicious

NrapOIItan, and introduced into France
by NJ. LanoiX, has Just received the sane
ton of the Belgian Government. BY a
royal decree, an animal vaccine establish
mrnt Is to be founded, the appointed d.
rector being NJ WarIomont, who cordially
took up the method after Nj. LanoiX's la
b"urs at Paris In that capital animal
vaccination found some opponents, and
has not made such rapid progress as was
at first anticipated, in spite of the very
%ettir'cnt support of DR.. DepauI, the head
OF the Vaccination Office of he Academy
of Medicine Of Paris. The matter hinges,
says the Lancet, upon two quesiions-Is
animal vaccination as e~fftctnaI as the same
operation performed with lymph conveyed
from one human being to another ? Is it
trae or Is II not true, that syphilis may
be lnocuIlted with the lymph used in the
laSt-menIIoned manner? Independently of
any other consideration, it would be a
great boon, especially in case Of an cpl
drmic of smallpox, to have an abundance
OF healthy lymph ready at hand. Nay, in
localities where numerous re-vaccinalions
were required, heIfers might be largely
lnoculated, and an unlimited supply of
lymph be at the command OF professional
men. Nor is it necessary, where animal
vnccl"atlon is practised, to give up other
modes of varcina,ing: the population is
l'rge enough 10 support both merhuds.
The question rests m ,inIy with the me-
dIcal advisers of The Prlvy Council.
A KIPPERED DIvINE-It is said that
DR.. Chalmers once entertained AT his

word kippered, land was told thatit meant
preserved. The poor man in a public
prayer soon after offered a petition that
the distinguished divine might long be
"klppered to The Free Church of Scot

When tho PLANTATION BITrERs
were first made known to the Ame-
rican people some seven years ago, it
was supposed they were an entirely
new thing,and had never before been
used. So far as their general use in
the United States is concerned, this
may be true. 1t is also true that the
same Bitters were made and sold in
the Island of st. Thomas, over forty
years ago, as any old planter, mer.
chant or sea captain doing business
with the West Indies will tell you.-
1t is distinctly within my recollection
that on the return ofmy father (who
was sea captain, and doing an ex-
tensive trade in the tropics,) he
would invariably have the Bitters
among the ships stores, and our fam
lily sideboard was never without them
For any sickness, it matters not how
severe or trlfing, the decantcr OF
these Bitters, by a different name,

The annual town elections Of Con
necticut took place on Monday. The
partisan journals are warmly dispu.
ting about the result. The World
the Hartford Times, and the Net
Hauen Register contend that the
Democrats have gained handsomely.
We cannot find facts to bear out this
assertion. The Democratic vote has
fallen off in many places, and espe.
cially IN the large towns; in fact, a
degree of encouragement seems to
have prevailed in that party, while
the Republicans were active and con.
fident. The consequence is that it il
no longer possible to count the State

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANCE.-O
Thursday morning Ada Croker, the
daughter ofthe lato General Crock.
or, left her mothers house ostensibly
fol. school. She has not since been
heard of, though the most diligent
search has been made. Yesterday
as Mr.. Stout Of the City Hotel was
on a fishing excursion about two
miles above this city, he found Ada's
hoopskirt, shawl and gloves done up
in q bundle. There were no other
tracks discovered but those of the
girl, and those led to the river. The
water in the river close to the spot,
where the tracks led, was about seven
feet deep.
The whole matter is shrouded in
mystery. No cause could be assign
ee for her disappearance or for a
probable suicide. 1t is case which
excites the utmost solicitude and
anxiety among the girls friends and
creates the utmost sympathy of the
whole community. The matter has
thus far been kept from the public,
with the hope that the girls return
would explain her absence, but the
facts became 80 we'll known in the
community last night and were the
subject of so much comment and re-
mark, that we deem it our duty to
make a plain statement of the mat
ter.-Register.
