The Empress Eugene in STEAMBOAT.

Henceforth among the great political events
of the age history will chronicle, doubtless as
one of the most remarkable, the visit Of the
Empress of the French to Constantinople,
the capital of the East, the seat of an intidel
government. It Is an event which has an
Importance that cannot fail to become evident.
Not only does this striking occurrence refer to
the Old World, but still more to the progress of
religious sentiment. 1t is, to certain extent,
the destruction Of the barrier that since the
commencement of the worlds history so dis
tincty divided the followers Of different creeds.
The Sultan has done much towards this step
himself by breaking through the rules pre-
scribed by the ancient doctrine of his creed
and visiting the capital of France during the
late International Exhibition. It proves that
henceforward diplomatic intercourse is and
must be untrammellel by religious differences
in fact, the supremacy Of State interests above
the variance of creed. The Empress has
undertaken great step, which has never been
equalIed in history since the visit of the Queen
of Sheba to King Solomon. Fully aware of
the Importance of the mighty undertaking that
will, in all probability, cause complete revo-
luton in the political, commercial and social
relations between the East and the West,
she wishes that the opening of the Suez
Canal shall be greeted by herself in person, as
the representative of one of the great Powers
of Christian Europe. So important does this
event appear to her far-sceing mind that, not
wthstanding the direct support lent to the
great scheme by her husband the Emperor,
she deems it duty that he should also be duly
represented at its contamination. Prevented
| by his delicate state of health from taking a
| personal part in the ceremonies, he could not
have chosen more suitable representative of
the French nation than his own wife. The
Sultan, as we are informed by cable despatch,
has received her Majesty with the most i'm
posing and magnificent ceremony. The event
| to him Is of the highest moment. 1t is an evil
dence of the good will of mighty Power,
made directly apparent to himself and all
Europe. 1t is an indirect warning to the Gear
| of oil the Russias that Russian influence must
no more attempt Its despotic rule on Ottoman
SOIL And still more, it Is proof that every
effort will be made to bring about an AMIGA
BILE settlement of the difficulties existing be-
tween the Sublime Porte and the Viceroy Of
Egypt. In all these weighty matters the
hand of the great European dipomatist is visi-
BILE; 1t proves his great forethought and ready
action. 1t proves still more especially his de-

A Touch Of the Good Old Times.
At meeting Of the Tammany braves and the
chief men of the tribes of primaries" following
the same warpath. held on Thursday night In
the Wigwam in Fourteenth street, a part Of tho
old democratic spirit was exhibited that was
pleasant to BEHOLD. Two well-known warriors
Of the democratic ranks had slight difference,
and however the account totted up in favor Of
one or the other is not the question. The fact
is still the same-that the rencontre which
followed gives us retrospect Of the good old
times ere The Wigwam was transferred from
the spiritual influences of the Pewter Mug to
the aristocratic region Of Fourteenth street.
and the prospect that, having got over the in
auences Of the change, the hard listed are
coming back to first principles.
The warriors referred to are O'Brien.

anxious for the good standing of their sanity

upon having a slight interchange of civilites-

in all its pristine Pewter Mug vigor at mo-
ments notice. Whatever the Misunderstanding
or the provocatien given in the premises that
led to the flooring Of one of the combatants,
it is pity that the muscle and science Of our
worthy Sheriff were not held in reserve for
some pugnacious republican, like that radical
Charley Spencer, for instance, so that he
Might prove his doctrines orthodox
BY democratic blows aud knocks.
From the long interregnum Of order that
has prevailed since the Ark Of Tammany was
lodged in the new wigwam in Fourteenth street
it might have been supposed that the political
''strikists" had hung up their ''bruised arms
for monuments" and that the grim-visaged
gentlemen of the political arena had ''smoothed
their wrnkled fronts The spirit Of the old
wigwam still lives, however, and the affair
night before last looks like revival Of the
brisk political bouts of former campaigns and
an Inauguration of lively times in the coming
November and December elections.
