On Monday the llth sst., the whole DO
htical world was startled By the announce
ment that a triple alliance had been formed
between England, France and Spain against
the United States. For a day or two spec
ulation was rife as to the probabilities Of
immediate war. ! few days however suf
feed to dlspel the clouds that so suddenly
seemed to threaten our peace. The clouds
have blown over, and the probability of any
warlike demonstrations has apparently pass
ed away 1t Is not yet definitely known
whether the triple alliance Is a reality or a
myth. But whether the one or the other.
England, France and Spain have found that
the news Oft their threatened demonstrations
scarcely caused a ripple 10 the affairs Of the
United States. Gold fell one I.er cent. and
government securities rose one. on receipt
Of the news, a most significant indication
that our people not only felt perfectly safe.
but that they also felt assured that in a
contest even with such a triple alliance the
United States had everything to gain and
nothing to lose, The spirit with which the
news was received here has no doubt sur
gested some new ideas to both John Bull
and Louis Napoleon. Instead Of the alarm
which they, no doubt expected 1t to create.
they see the President c0olly continuing the
conversation. in which be was engaged when
the news was carried to him, and the peo-
pie, in very business like way, setting to
work to count the profit and advantage we
would gain in such a contest Nothing
could have been better calculated to curb the
arrogant spirit of British and French bra.
vado than the coolness with which sucb
serious and highly important news was re-
eeived. Senator Summers speech has GER
tainly opened the eyes Of England to the
gravity Of the situation in regard to the
Alabama claims. Though the United
States will not at present urge these claims.
II on account Of our plain statement of the
case, England determines to resort to arm,
when she has been beaten in argument.
much as we desire peace, we Will have nc
recourse, but to accept the contest and ex.
act by force the reparation tha! England re.
fuses to grant when We have proven oul
ease IN taIr argument. A war with these
three powers would be a calamity to al
chrlstendom, and the United States vii
only engage in it, when it becomes necessary
IN selt-detence, As our whole foreign poll

reason to hope that the peace of our owl
country with all the world will be preserved

The Graves OF English Heroes

The reverent care taken Of the remains of
the soldiers who fell during the rebellion of
the United States has recently been cited
with high commeniation in England. The
visit Of the Prince Of Whales TO the Crimea
has revealed the fact that the graves of Eng
llsh soldiers are in shameful condition.
and that the nburied bodies Of many others
are lying broadcast over the laud. The
remains Of the French and Russian have
been collected in carefully tended cemeteries.
but no more regard is paid to the dead Eng
Ilsh soldiers than If they were SO many ami
mais The English newspapers are drawing
unfavorable comparisons between the con
duct Of the English and United States Gov
ernments, and insist that even at this late
day the bodies of the English soldiers should
be collected IN one large cemetry, and that
head-bOards and other means of identified
tlon should be placed over the graves. IF
the English Government refuses to under
take the work, the English people are urged
to raise by private subscription the necessa-
ry funds fer removing the national dis
grace

Twenty-three persons were publicly fog

though, for the sake of our national reputa-

for some years been besought BY almost the

country and Spain is much more cordial, and
far better understanding exists between us

A REMARKABLY T0UGH SToRY-The

following tough yarn, which it declares to
be well vouched for
A young man named George Denslow,
aged p years and living two miles north
west Of Rome Centre, went to bed upon the
night Of March 18th, ia his usual good
health While sleeping, he dreamed that
he was deaf and dumb, and upon waking he
was horrifed to find that he was totally un-
able to speak or to hear. Since then, until
the evening of the zth inst, he has been alb
solutely and totally deaf and dumb.
About clock on the evening of the 4th,
he was returning from the field where his
father, William Denslow, was ploughing.
when he experienced an odd feeling coming
over him. and was obliged to lean upon the
fence for support Soon he thought he
heard bird sing, and upon looking around
he saw the bird, and then he knew his sense
of hearing had returned.
he hastened to the house, and as be en-
tered the room his mother was in the act Of
pushing the table across the room, and he
says the noise occasioned was the biggest
noise he ever heard. He found also that
his speech had returned, and ia his great
JOY be told his mother the facts of his recoy-
cry. The young man has enjoyed extraor-
dinary good health during his fifty three
days of silence.
