The DalmatIan Trouble.

It appears that the military operations COM
menced by Austria in Dalmatia have been
suspended in consequence Of heavy snow
fall. This little affair which has broken out
on the eastern shores Of the Adriatic, what
ever may be its final result, revives some
almost forgotten memories. Dalmatia, in
ancient times, was at once much larger and
much more important than 1t is now con-
sidered. Dalmatia proper includes not only
the Austrian portion on the coast, but more
inland provinces of Turkey called the Here.
govina. The whole Of this ancient domain
fell into the hands of the Romans in the tims
Of Augustus, after Q struggle Of near hum
dred years. The Emperor Diocletian was
wont to reside there at his palace at Spalato.
It was lost to the Romans about the year 620.
For some time q portion Of the country was
under the protection Of Venice. In the six
teenth century 1t fell into the hands Of the
Turks, who ruled it for some one hundred
years. In 1877, by the treaty Of Campo
Eormio, Austria came into possession Of that
portion which she now holds, and which bears

portion was under the sway Of Napoleon.
Marshal Soult, it will be remembered, was
created by Napoleon Duke Of Dalmatia. The
fact that risings have taken place in Turkish
as well Is Austrian territory is explained by
the fact that the inhabitants Of Dalmatia,
Herzegovina and Servia all belong to the
same Slavic race and speak the same dialect
Their sympathies are rather with Russia than
with Austria or Turkey; but they are enthu-
siastic lovers Of liberty and independence. It
appears that the present trouble has arisen
out Of an attempt on the part Of the Austrian
government to enforce the provisions Of the
new military law. In virtue Of some privi-
leges granted them while under the rule Of
the Venetian republic the inhabitants claim
exemption from military service. The spirit
Of instruction is contagious, and Turkish and
Austrian subjects have got strangely mixed
up. With this statement Of the case we can
easily understand the nature of the alliance
which has just been entered into by Austria
and Turkey nor is the rumored jealousy Of
Russia any longer mystery.

IMPERIAL ADVENTURE AND PLUoK.-Ths
Empress of France is determined to navigate
the Suez Canal in her own vessel, independ-
emily and as the first free modern traveller by
the new route. An official survey declares
that the French imperial yacht Aigle draws
too much water for the shallow portion Of the
canal, and the commander Of the vessel
assures her Majesty that he cannot conse-
quently take the yacht through. The Empress
intimates that the soundings report is not
accurate by ordering that new soundings shall
be taken Immediately, and orders that,
should the second corroborate the first,
vessel Of lighter draft Of water shall be had
for her service, % sAs j. determined t9 sss ss

Frnnce-The Emperor's Policy.


It will be seen from cable despatch which
we print this morning that a rumor of some
weeks standing, and which has already ap-
peared in the HERALD, has been revived. The
Emperor Napoleon is bent on general Euro
pean disarmament. It is expected that on the
occasion Of the opening Of the Chambers on the
Goth inst. he will make the subject promi-
nent feature of his address. II is said that
when Lord Clarendon was last at the Tuileries
the matter was discussed, and that his lord
ship was able to say that the British govern
ment would heartily endorse such policy.
General Fleury, 1t is also said, has gone to St.
Petersburg to express the Emperor's views
and to induce the Gar to back them up. It
Is supposed that Prussia alone of the great
Powers will be unwilling to disarm to any
great extent. It Is not our opinion that II
disarmament is at all heartily gone into by
the other great Powers Prussia will stand in
the way. II BY this means Napoleon expects
to embarrass Prussia II Is our opinion he will
count without his host. Disarmament, how
ever, has become necessity, and, If carried
out, 1t will be blessing to Europe. To our
mind the news is mainly valuable for the
evidence it furnishes that the Emperor, yield
ing to incr easing infrmities, has given up the
role of war.

Pooh LITTLE BOSTON. Boston has people
who want Mr.. Boutwell, to sell some gold
among them. Mr.. Boutwell, promises that
when Boston grows up and has an importing
trade Of her own, and thus pays into the
United States Treasury more gold for duties
than the United States has to spend on the
spot, then the United States will sell gold
there. In the meantime little Boston can have
no sales, and we advise that she console hor-
self with another musical jamboree.

WHAT AN UNRuLY HORSE MIGHT HAVE
DoNE.-The Emperor of the French had a
narrow escape from death a short time ago
while walking In the streets of Compiegne.
An unruly horse carrying cabriolet furously
behind him ran so close to the Emperor that
he had barely time to jump aside In order to
save his life. What trouble that unruly,
unmanageable horse, with the bit in his teeth,
might have brought about oil over Europe
How he could have disturbed dynastiss, and
changed diplomatic plans, and altered maps
of boundaries, and turned France itself upside
down. But he didn't, for the Emperor,
despite his ''twinges Of rheumatism" was
nimble enough to get out Of his way. The
Fates were not ready to dip the thread Of life
just then

How MANY KINDS OF PAVEMENT New
York is q pavior's museum, and presents q
complete series Of specimens of what may be
done to streets under the pretext of making
them fit for travel. We have respectable
variety Of pavements in stone; we have ex-
amples Of nearly everybody's patent in wood
and some startling denominations In tar. The
tar composition pavement on Fifth avenue is
entitled to the distinction Of being the worst we
have. Herein we see the inevitable character
istic Of our metropolis. Other cities have the
asphaltum pavement and find It durable and
excellent In all ways; hut when we come to put
It down In New York there Is jobbery and Q
swindle, and our asphatum becomes some-
thing very like pine tar. The new paw ement
In Broadway is now the best we have.

LOOK TO Your BASEMENT DooRs.-A
good dinner Is most enjoyable thing, but
when 1t costs seven thousand dollars In dia-
monds it hardly pays. Yet this was the price
which a family in West Twenty-ninth street
paid for their dinner on Sunday, and all
because they left their basement door open.
While the family banquet was in progress q
watchful thief entered the house and stripped
the bedrooms of all the jewelry he could lay
hands on and then departed by the window.
This should be warning to families not to
leave their basement doors open after dark.
This kind of robbery is less risky and much
easier than "Hat burglary" We may be sure
that sneak thieves always find out the parties
who have diamonds about the house, and who
are careless enough to leave their doors
unbolted.

The returns of our State election, as far as

a working majority in the Legislature. The
democrats lose heavily in the city,
but the republicans, beyond spuyten
Duyvil, lose heavily throughout the State.
The election has gone by default on short
vote, after the fashion of the late October
elections. In this city the vote, as compared
with that of last year, shows democratic loss
Of over twenty-five thousand, and deficiency
in the aggregate vote Of nearly forty thousand.

THE CARDIFF GIANT.

A great excitement has recently
been occasioned among the curious and
the scientific, by the discovery near
Syracuse, N Y Of statue, or petrifed
body, ola giant over ten feet in height.
1t was found on the farm of a Mr..
Newell BY some persons digging vel.
1t was only q feet below the surface,
and a tent has been put up over the
place and spectators are charged a
round admission fee, Whereby the for
tunate owner IS realizing handsome
revenue. This discovery has set hun
dreds OF rumors afoat, and, as scienti-
tc men are not allowed TO make care
ful examination, which would at once
determine whether TIE object is a work
Of art or a petrifaction, we are left
wholly to speculation n regard to its
true character 4 correspondent of
The n. Y Herald claims that it is the
work of crazy Canadian Frenchman,
who intended it as a statue Of st. Paul,
and that upon his death it was found
and buried by designing parties, who
have now . discovered " it and are
reaping a rich harvest as the result OF
their undertaking. This explanation,
however, has ishy odor and We are
inclined TO believe is the production OF
some person jealous of his neighbours
good fortune. For the present we
must regard the affair as shrouded in
mystery only to be dispeIled by future
developments.
We lend the measurements of the
statue or body which it ap pears to us
are decidedly faulty in their relative
proportions:
From top of head to instep so Cor
natural standing height-ten feet two
and one half inches.
From point Of chin TO top Of head,
twenty one inches.
Nose, from brow to tip, six inches
across base of noStriIs, three and

4 PR0DTGIOUS GRANDEE.

We extract the following from an
account of a reception given by Queen
Vic oria in 1851:
One incident worth mentioning only
occurred curing the ceremony OF pre-
sentation. \ young nobleman, whose
family had not been at court since the
accession of Her Majesty. fine, tall
f-llew, o. manly bearing, was presented
towards the last. AS his name. Lord
George Alfred Counaught, was being
announced, he passed Prince Albert
and the young Princess aud Prince in
an apparently naughty manner, without
removing his ctapeau They seemed
enraged, but as it might be misake,
arising from embarrassment in a young
nobleman first approaching his sover-
erign, no aotIce WAS takeu Of the appa-
rent rudeness. When he had reached
the Queen, however, he uncovered his
head, knelt gracefully before her, kissed
the prOfered hand, arose, thrust his
chopeau in a positive manner upon his
head, and turned to address Prioce AL
bert The latter drew back his face
flushed scarlet. 1t looked like an in
tended insult to the Prince Consort in
the presence of the sovereign A MUIR
mar OF Indignation ran through the
throne room. The old Duke Of Well
lington, bending under the weight of
seventy eight years, and covered with
decorations, stepped forwa to inter-
tere. The Lord Chamberlain, however,
was before him, and when just upon
the point arresting the offender. the
Queen interposed, saying the words.
Right, right Lord Connaught is
right" and then, turning. explained
the transaction to she Prince, the
young uobleman meanwhile looking on.
1t was some time before this strange
conduct was understood by most of
those present; Lord Connacght, the
only person whose head was covered,
moving with great sell possession
among Bishops and Chanceilors, lead
ers OF the commons and dons Of the
universities, the observed OF all ebserv-
ers. 1t seemed that, for personal SER
vices rendered to the King by Lord
Counaught in the reign of Henry VII,
right had been given by patent in
perpetuity TO the head of the house ia
