situation. All that be now is and all that
he has been since 1851 be owes to sue
cess. OF all successful men for the last
quarter Of century, be has been un-
questionably, until very recently, the
most successful. Fortune has favored
him. The fates have all been on his side.
The tide so often written about, which
occurs in the affairs Of men, seems to
have arrived in the affairs of Louis Ma
poleon. His schemes and plans are no
longer necessarily successful. They
sometimes fail. Some of the failures
have been disagreeable to him and hurt
ful to his prestige. For years, not France
alone, but Europe and the world be-
lieved him infallible. He was the great
temporal Pope. His sword swsyed des-
tiny. 1t is 10 no longer. He can make
mistakes, and the mistakes are so pal-
pable that France and even the outside
world can see them. A reputation built
upon success, deriving all its worth from
supposed infallibility, cannot survive re-
peated failure. Such is the condition Of
Louis Napoleon, and such is the situa
tion of Europe.
France is no longer the controlling
power; Tor is Louis Napoleon any
longer tie arbiter. The power has
passed away from the country, and it is
now in other hands. Bismarck, not Ma
poleon, commands the situation. Proof
of this is everywhere. We see it at the
present moment, particularly in Spain.
The arrangement about to be come to in
regard to the Spanish throne is one
which, to the French Emperor, must be
extremely distasteful. 1t is an arrange.
ment, however, which he cannot resist.
As in days gone by the money of Eng
land, this time fairly and justly used
has been too much for French wit, and
more powerful than Corsican genius.

to be Built

The Decatur and Montgomery (Ala.) Road
to be Built.
From the Nashville Banner, 3d..
The long projected road from Decatur
to Montgomery, Alabama, has been put
out to contract The work will com mence
forthwith. The contractors are composed
of Northern capitalists chiefly. Among
the constructors from our own State is
Col. Sam. Tate, who is a large owner OF
lands in the vicinity Of Red Mountain,
on the line of survey. A great many OF
the most eminent iron men of Pennsyl-
vsnia and other Northern States, OF
enlarged experience, have been down
through that famous mineral region and
invested largely in lands. Many Of our
own citizens, and among them the Hill:
mans, whose name is 50 intimately
associated with the iron interests OF
Tennessee, have also landed interests in
the same region. The Red Mountain
through which this road will pass is said
to be oae mass Of iron and stone coal.
Compared to it, the Iron Mountain OF
Missouri, in richness of deposit, is about
as a pimple on an orange to the orange
itself.
This road passes through the Great
Black Warrior and Cahawba coal region,
the largest mineral field in the world.
We have most positive assurances from
the President, Governor Patton, who
left here yesterday for North Alabama,
that the arrangements are all perfected,
and the work will speedily commence.
Colonel Tate, one of the contractors,
adds his own to these gratifying as.

War Clouds on the Continent.
-. A. Nau Varl Harald1


Our correspondence and our kilograms
from Europe for sometime past have
been singularly suggestive, and, in spite
of peace desires, rather bellicose than
otherwise. We have had intimatioHs OF
the most contradictory kind. One day
we are told of army reductions; another
day we are told of army mobilization:
We are again informed that officers and
men of the French army on leave Of abb
sence are suddenly summoned to JOIN
their respective regiments. We have not
vet had any high official announcement
that war was imminent, but studious
silence is oftentimes as suggestive as un-
guarded speech. We do not exeggerate
when we say that since the outbreak oil
the German war in 1866 there has been
nothing in Europe similar to the present
condition of things. There is eau
tious and determined measuring OF
strength. All the European nations are
armed to the teeth. Every one OF them
believes that the time for action is close
at hand, but no one is certain where or
in what connection il may be necessary
to Hnsheath the sword. We describe the
situation when we say that Europe, bur
dened with intolerable srmaments, Is
sick Of peace, which is war without the
excitement which naturally belongs to It,
war without the consequent honor or
glory.

Relics Of Mary Queen Of Scot,

An interesting bequest to Queen Victo
ria was recently sent from WashawH ouse
to Windsor Castle. 1t appears fro m q
letter written and left by the late L ord
Belhaven that the relics Of which the be.
quest is composed were placed at the dir
posal OF the Queen, and her Majesty has
been graciously pleased to sig nifty her e.c-
ceptance of them. Relic M. consists
of cabinet made of ebony. richly orna-
mented in front with desigps in tortoi Sc
shell; hight, five feet two riches; depth,
one foot nine inches; width, four feet
two inches. The front opens with 70 Id
ing doors. In the center, also, are wo
small folding doors, which, on bel ng
opened, reveal small recess, with { es-
selated pavement and roof with side n ar
rors. The inner folding doors are a lso
surrounded with drawers. The Scott ish
Queen brought this cabinet with her fir ON
France on her return to Scotland to begin
her eventful career.
This souvenir of the ill-fated Mary
must, therefore, be some three hundred
years old, but it is in wonderfully good
preservation. Queen Mary presented
it to the Earl of Mar. The Earl after
ward made gift of it to favorite grand
daughter, who married one of the ances-
tors of the late Lord Belbaven, and the
cabinet has continued in the possession
of the Belhaven family ever since. fff
Relic No. 2 is a purse (the work of
Queen Mary's own hands) beautifully
wrought with q crown, seeptre and
sword in gold, With the words "God save
King James"
Relic No. is piece of unleaven
bread, to which no authentic history is
attached, but traditionally understood to
have been a fragment of what Queen
Mary had used when participating in the
most solemn rite of her religion. There
is also lock of Mary's hair, which is of
light color. The original letter ad-
dressed by the late Lord Belhsven.

disposal of the Queen, was locked up in
one of the drawers of the cabinet.

Frank Blair-A Rude Little Radical
Throws Mud at Him.


Frank Blair has sought aud found q
more congenial cline. He has thrown
himself into the arms Of the people of the
South, and the arms of the people Of the
South have opened to receive him. There
is place, be it understood, where even
the Blair family find cordial welcome,
and that place the yearning Frank, after
long and weary wanderings, has found.
Whether the rest of the unoccupied
family Of the Bairs will Join the happy
Frank in his newly discovered heaven,
we have not heard, but we fervently trust
they may. The family are never happy
when not appreciated, and they have
happy faculty of rendering everybody
about them as unhappy as they are them
selves Down South, however, where
everything is lovely and the goose
hangs high, where ehiyalry is abun-
dsnt, honor drug, high moral charac-
ter superlative quantity, and temper
ance a universal virtue-there, we say,
the family of the Blairs will flourish and
grow strong. The senior Frank will
doubtless become bishop, Montgomery
friar (of Abolitionisis), aud Frank
junior crying temperance apostle of the
first degree. We are indssd aade happy
in the assurance that there is no longer
virtue enough in the North TO make it an
enduraAle home for the Blsirs.
