HORRIBLE.
a Dead Tnrnnt DeyOured by Dogs in Lou
isvfIFe.

From the Louisville Courier, 10th
Yesterday morning an old negro who
has charge of a fine residence on Ken
lucky street, in the southern part ofsthe
city, owned by Judge ThTuston, and now
vacant, hearing the barking Of dogs in
the yard adjoining, went to drive them
off, when he discovered they were quar-
reling over somsthing they were eating.
Approaching and driving them OFF, his
eyes fell upon most sicksniDg sight-the
partially decomposed body Of an infant,
which they had torn to pieces, and which
hsd evidently lain for some tine before
they had found it. The little skull was
broken into several pieces, as though the
child had been Drained, but there was
nothing else to confirm this suspicion.
Coroner Dick Moore was Immediately
notified Of the discovery, and jury was
summoned and an inquest held.
There as every indication that the
child had been hastily thrown into the
ysrd imm ediately upon its birth TO hide
the shame OF It's guilty parents, and the
premises having been vacant for year
past, the body would not soon have been
discovered had not the ravsaous ours Of
the neighborhood scented it out and
seized upon it. There had been no At
tempt TO hollow grave or to shelter the
little corpse in any way. An investiga-
ton by the jury led to no clus whatever
as to how it came there, and s verdict
was rendered to the effect that the "child
was Of premature birth, and the cause OF
its death unknown" Its remains were
carefully gathered up and received de-
cent burial.

PRUSSIA--FRANCE.
Between the Great Euro
peaR Powers.

From the Cincinnati Commercial
The policy ofsFrance is manifestIy to
prevent the annexation of any Of the
South German States to the Prussisn
Empire. 1t will deeply wound the na-
tionsl spirit Of the French to see the
liues of that empire drawn unbroken
from the northern limit OF Switzerland
along the east bank OF the Rhine, almost
to the mouth of the river, while France
is not permitted to extend her frontier
to the same nstural boundary.
This, however, would be accomplished
by the annexation OF the Grand Duchy
Of Bsedn to the Prussian territory, and,
what is Of more consequence, it would
present = considerable barrier between
France and the remaining South Ger
man States. They would have Prussian
influence 10 the north and west of them.
and all sffinities of race and commercial
interest would be allied to draw them,
as by law of gTsvitatiOn, TO the COM
mon German center. With Baden an
neXec, we should expect soon to see the
Kingdoms CT Wurtemberg and Bavaria
follow her example.
Here, then, Ia the heart of the C0nti-
nent, would be erected q mighty Ger
manic empire, so powerful ia men and
means as to be, under an ambitious ru-
Ter, standing meDsce to France. In
any case il would become the frst-rste
Power Of middle Europe, and French in
fiuence in continental politics would as
sensibly decline IS Engla1d's has de-
ciiDed within the past ten years. The
Emperor Of France, if anxious to estsb-
hEh his dynasty on sure foundation,
cannot afford this. A second-rste posi-
ton will never satisfy the ambition Of
France, and any other ruler who accepts
it will, if not himself Overthrowu, dis
cover that he holds rod of empire that
he never can transmit.
