FRANCE AND THE PEACE OF EU-
RApE

In May the elections take place
in France, and there be those who
think that peace in Europe will not
continue much after that event. One
thing is certain, that with all the
talk about peace, both Napoleon
and King William are preparing for
war, and that on scale of magni-
tude which dwarfs all former efforts
in that line. More than a million
of men will be ready for the field on
both sides by June, while needle
<guns, chassepot rifles, and improved
feld artillery will add to the general
carnage, in case word is given to
unleash the dogs Of war, now ready
and eager to fly at each others
threats. OF course, the vancouver
ing now is for combinations.
Napoleon wishes to bind It
ally and Austria to his
side, and neutralize Russia, while
Prussia is endeavoring to propitiate
Russia, and work up the German
to a fighting frenzy on the issue of
"Fatherland." But, unfortunately
for King William, his centralizing
policy has made more foes than
friends, and ia the event of a war
with France, it may prove the
wooden horse to introduce enemies
into his kingdom. As matters now
stand, the chances are in favor of
France. This Napoleon knows, and
hence his calm but firm policy ON
all issues presented A few more
coils of the chain and Belgium will
be an armed outpost of France, and
then the "Lion of Waterloo" and
the last remnant of the "detested
treaties of 1915" will disappear for
ever. The family mission Of Napo-
leon will not end until these results
are recorded.

al Wedding is stopped by Victim of the
RridegrOOm. ,l,.- 8 .,

"a Some excitement was occasioned near q
church entrance up town, night before last,
over the interruption ola wedding that was
about to be solemnized.J 1t appears,1that a
gay young Lothario, who, had been sfying
his kite y among the fair sex for a few years
past had suddenly concluded to become set
tied down by taking to himselfa wife.d He
had chosen for his partner the daughter of a
well known and respectable family up town,
who. unquestionably, was ignorant of the
past history of the man upon whom she had
bestowed her hand, her life and her future.
She did not learn it, either, until the night
before last, just as the parties were on their
way to he made one. As the parties were
nearing the churclIa woman made her APP
pearance with child in her arms, and orr,
dcred the man to stop in his career and not
send to destruction another honestan inno-
cent heart. She then accused the would be
bridegroom of having seduced her, and, that
he was the father of the child she held in
her arms. The man, in braggadocia style,
declared the woman mad, and ordered her
away. But it was, nc, use. She persisted in
her efforts. She also, stated that there was
another girl whom the rascal had seduced
and. abandoned, by whom he also had a
child. She advised the would-be bride to
beware oil the imposto;; and seducer, as he
would deceive, ruin and desert her, as he
had his other victims. So excited did the
poor creature become, that she threatened
to shoot her seducer if fheuhdertook to have
the ceremony performed, A large crowd Of
PERSONS had by this time COLLECTED, among
whom were Some policemen, who Caused
the crowd to disperse. We understand that
the gay Lothario abandoned the wedding
that was on foot, fearing that his infuriated
victim would execute her terrible threat,
He was we'll aware Of the. fact that she had
purchased pistol for the purpose ofkilling

strange Accident at a Funeral.

a0A curious accident occurred at Philadel-
phia on Sunday. At the house of . calored
woman named Fanny Bishop a number, of
coldred people had assembled to attend the
/ funeral Of child. Around the corpse,
which was lying in the lower or first story
room, the mourning relatives and friends
were gathered listening to the exhortation
of colored minister, when suddenly the
entire floor gave and carried with it into the
cellar all the people and furniture that had
been standing upon it. The body of the
DECEASED child went down along with the
living, the corpse falling among one portion
| Of the debris, and the coffin into another
part. With the frightened persons Shrek
| ing for help and endeavoring to release
themselves the scene was most exciting and
painful. A few moments, however, brought
the unfortunate mourners from their un-
pleasant position. About twenty persons,
men, women and children, were tiroWn-vi
lentiy together among the debris, and their
escape without very serious injuries was
most remarkable. Several of the women,
when taken out Of the cellar, were found to
be considerably bruised, none Of them seri-
ously, except one who was, struck violently
in the side by some heavy article. After
considerable difficulty, the corpse was
brought outSof the wrecked house in an un-
harmed condition p The negroes at first
Elseened TO have asuperstitious horror which
pEeyented them, from removing it. from
