or of old age. Law and public opinion |
combine to prevent him from doing that now.
But in the millennium to which these be-
nighted females look forward to end their
woes, law and public opinion would both
support him in it. The millionaire who now
maintains mistresses would in that case make
wives of them, if polygamy were permitted
and we can suppose public opinion were SO
far relaxed as to allow it; or, if not, would
take the occasion of any temporary TIN TO
muster out his old wife and muster in new
one. If such q complete revulsion of pubic
feeling as would allow this sort of thing to be
done without disrepute can be imagined the
young and pretty women might be no worse
off in material respects than now, but the
aged and uncomely would go to the wall. Let
us not force ourselves even to fancy this
woful condition of society, if, in addition to
the medieval maids and widows who now
afflict the race of men, countless array OF
divorced women were periodically let loose by
the courts to prey upon us.
The truth is that these theorists leave out
of view, in their speculations upon marriage,
precisely the essential element in it. The
frequency of divorce suits, even in States
where the marriage tie is tightest, and de-
spite the social stigma that is put upon the
parties to such suits, shows that affection
cannot be legislated into people. The hope
of society, and the defense of society against
the exotic maniacs who wish to tear down the
whole social fabric because their own little
corner of it has been made unpleasant by
their own misconduct, or somebody elses, is
that it cannot be legislated out of them. If
all legal restrictions were removed tomorrow,
we hope and believe that the vast majority
of welded couples would forbear to unwed
themselves. So inextinguishable is a real
attachment, and so potent is habit, that, in
large number of cases, couples whose quarrels
have eliminated in divorces have found it
impossible to get on by themselves, and have
been remarried and doubtless nothing but
an obstinate pride about taking the initiative
restrains many couples more from doing the
same thing. The sentiment in favor of the
existing marriage is immeasurably stronger
and deeper, though very much less noisy,
than the sentiment against it. If ever mar
riage is seriously endangered that sentiment
will show itself. And, at the headlong rate
at which the free-lovers are going, the only
effect of their labors will be to provoke re-
action which will result in increasing the
stringency of the marriage bond.

IMPERIALISM SICK.
From the N. Y. Tribune.

From the N. 4. tribune.
In the news that Napoleon is getting better
the i4reconcilable enemies of imperialism
will find occasion to lament that France is to
mat extent growing worse. But we are not
even now prepared to accept a report which
comes to us hot from a panic in the money
market, and which in several guarded shapes
conveys still doubt that bids us reasonably
fear for the life of the French monarchy.
Napoleon at more than sixty years of age,
worn with the consuming cares of empire,
and with q subtle disease, is still sick, it may
be unto death. The world is thoroughly
forewarned that at any day one of its greatest
actors may pass out of its scene with more
fatal circumstances of catastrophe than when
he entered it, Napoleon sick is to present
appearances the empire dying and the panic
of the Bourse, the call of his Empress and
child to his bedside, and the late signal and
rocket-like expressions of Prince Napoleon in
the form of liberalism, all more or less point
the moral that emperors and empires are sub
ject to the final discrowning.
Yet 1t might prove unseemly to pray for or
to exult in what appears to be the impending
calamity of Napoleonism. We set too high
an estimate on the Emperors value to the ex-
listing economy of France, false as it is as a
system, mortally pernicious as it must prove
If carried to the Imperial extreme, to view
with anything but solemn seriousness his
withdrawal from work which, whether i'll or
well DONE has had the sufferance of one of
the most revolutionary people in the world,
and has tasked the intellect and energy
of one of the most astute and vigorous
political students and workers of his time.
Napoleon obeyed too manifest call, and in
some respects necessity, unrighteous
though that necessity may have been, to be
set aside in history as merely charlatan with
a crown upon his head. After all, he repre-
sented the aspirations of large number of
Frenchmen, and has held power not so much
by his own strength as by the strength of the
fact that his Government stood for the imper-
fection of the people.
The doctrine of his life is summed up in
his published conceptions OF the representa-
tive nature of the Cesarian or Napoleonic
principle. If he has made this principle the
basis of a code and a creed, so has France in
great measure; and now that fate warns him
that his work will soon be over, let us be
ready to acknowledge that, bad as any per-
petuated principle Of Napoeonism must be,
and hateful as in some points of view the
rule of the last Napoleon must seem to i'm
patient patriots, he might have made a worse
monarch, and left a poorer France. If he
had not heart, the world may thank him for
having had intellect. When he dies it is
probable that something of France will die
with him, and for this paramount reason his
death will be anything but personal event

this advice of the French Minister at Con

''the empire is peace" because the internal
condition of France and the CONFUSION

NAPOLEON TO THE VICEROY-PEACE
ON ANY TERMS.
From the N. Y. Herald.

From the N. Y Herald.
We have the news from London that the
Khedive or Viceroy of Egypt has promptly
telegraphed to Constantinople his assent to
the severe conditions of the Sultan, military,
financial, and tributary, insisted on in the
recent ominous letter of the Sultan, thus
leaving no excuse for any hostile action on
his part. At the same time the Khedive was on
his way to the Sultan, to make assurance
doubly sure. This of itself would simply
signify that Ismail Pasha is not in position
to defy the Sultan; but it means much more
in connection with what follows. 1t appears
that the French Minister at Constantinople
had telegraphed the main points of the Sui
tans letter to the Khedive before he reached
Alexandria, at the same time urgently ad-
yising him to submit to its terms.
From this we perceive that Napoleon de-
sires peace for the present between the Sultan
and the Viceroy, however offensive to the
latter the terms may be. And why? Because,
il may be said, Napoleon is apprehensive that
a rupture between Turkey and Egypt at this
crisis would not only involve all the great
European powers, but might be followed by
serious internal embarrassments in France
All such conjectures, however, touching this
Egyptian question are trihes to Napoleon nov
compared with the very delicate question
his health and the crisis which his death ma.
bring upon France. 1t is doubtless In vley
of this possible crisis that the Emperor OF al
lbines desires peace with his neighbors anC
,oeace on the Eastern question. He wishes t.
reserve his strength intact for the contllc
with the radical republicans OF France ana a.

rs TIME MONEY /?

From the NJ Y. Times.
IL is one of the traditions of the Elders
mat time is money. If so, can any one tell
why all the trains of our railway corporations,
With double tracks, are not through trains
Why does any train stop except for wood or
coal and water ? Why not run car or train
between any point and every other point on
the road as the necessities of travel may re-
quire No doubt there are reasons, or there
would now be no occasion to ask the question
But have the railway companies reduced the
number of their stoppages as much as they
ought to have done?
Let us take the Hudson River Railway.
Why should not a separate locomotive or
system of locomotives serve Manhattanville,
another Yonkers, another Hastings, and so
on to Albany? If it is remunerative to run
horse cars to Manhattanville as it is, why
not to run steam cars :? And why should not
the people at each place have just what SER
vice they require, be it more or less fire.
quent, without subjecting them to any losso
time in waiting at different stations for cars
to load and unload
For places yielding q comparatively small
number of passengers, light locomotives
should be constructed, adapted to the trans
portation of one, two, or three ordinary cars
Mr.. Fairlie, of London, has contrived a
combined engine and carriage weighing
but thirteen and a half tons empty, capable
OF seating s1Xty-slX persons, which whlsks
around the Hatcham Cabbage Garden" at
the rate of thirty miles an hour. Compare
the wear and tear to a road of such ''team"
with that of an ordinary locomotive on the
Hudson or Erie roads, weighing from sixty to
eighty TONS and drawing twelve or fifteen
cars at the same speed. Compare, too, the
other expenses of fuel, men, repairs etc.
Now, if time is money, why do we not have
some of these light cars put on when larger
ones are not required to run frequently and
without stopping? What gives the value to
q railway over a common road is the economy
of time it secures. Why should five or six
hundred people be kept an hour longer than
is necessary, on the way from New York to
Albany, to take up and set down passengers?
BY SO much unnecessary time as is ex-
pended in the journey from the terminal
cities, by so much is the territory circum-
scribed from which the road can levy its con-
tributions of passengers and freight. If it
takes two hours to go to Fishkill, all who
must live within two hours of the city have
to reside at or below that point. If Pough-
keepsie can be reached in two hours, of course
this addition to the area served is very i'm
portant, both to the public and to the COM
pany. Why is so natural and obvious a
means of securing this addition neglected?
