Suez Canal will be found mighty iever--a
great Transforming power. Egypt will cease
to be an Eastern and will become at once
European Power. In that country, so long so
dead, reforms march apace even now. The
Turkish pacha can scarcely DO recognized in
European garments. Balls and grand public
receptions have now become common within
the forbidden precincts of the harem. Euro
pean manners and customs are taking hold of
the people from the highest to the lowest. The
canal will multiply European influence thou
sand fold The Crescent, which has long been
waning in that land before the Cross, will soon
have disappeared. Turkey in Europe and
Turkey in Asia viii yield to the same aii-con-
trolling influence What with Europe acting
so forcibly on Asia on one side, and with
America acting with equal force on the other,
it is not unreasonable to conclude that trade
and commerce, steam electricity and the print
ing press will soon accomplish what the preach
ers have failed to accomplish-the conversion
of the world, the bringing of the whole family
of man under the influence of one common
civilization, and that civilization Christian.

THE RACING STEAMERS. -The Long Branch
steamboats,, Magenta and Jesse Hoyt, still
keep up their strife every afternoon in the
lower bay. The managers OF the former boat
have sought to quiet the nerves Of timid peo-
pie by informing them that they are restricted
to forty pounds Of steam, while the majority of
travellers know that they could not carry that
amount of steam in race If they tried never
so much, and everybody knows that in racing
the danger does not lie in explosions which
never occur when steam ia being worked of,
but in collisions, fires, breaking of machinery
and other mishaps which might be traceable to
negligence on the part Of the managers. I'm
less one Of the above named boats alters it's
time of departure we shall expect some fine
afternoon TO be called upon TO send a reporter
to the lower bay to gather the facts of hor-
rihle disaster.

LITERATURE.

hey10W9 Oh NOW OOOAS.
THE HOLLANDS. BY Virginia F. Townsend. Lortng.
publisher, Boston.
This is simple domestic story ana is quite tnte-
resting. There Is no effort fine writing, neither b
there anything sensational about it, although 1t Il
full Of life and activity. The characters, too are
very we'll drawn, albeit they are oil quite ordinary,
doing nothing very remarkable, but preserving
praiseworthy consistency and responsibility through
out There might not be any very great display OF
art In such work this, but 1t 10 preferable TO
read to the muititudin0us novels published nova
days. in which the most extravagant sensations are
cooked up in very thin literary broth. 1.-THE HOl-
lands " thea, Is such book as any person can read
without becoming tired OF an authors pretenttous
nothings and, as will undoubtedly interest large
class, we recommend 1t to the public.
MARRIED AGAINST REASON. by Mrs. Adelheid
Shelton-Mack enzie Loring, publisher, Boston.
For q first attempt at novel writing Mrs. Mackenzie
has done exceedingly well. Married Against Rea-
SOM is a story Of "middle class life' In Germany,
and as all the characters introduced and the Incl
dents narrated were personally known to the
authOIess and were actual occurrences, they have
combined to make very clever and ent ertainlnG
work. II has nothing about IL like intricacy OF plot;
but the narrative Is smooth and lowing, the sitaa-
tons easy and natural, and the characters 0eraDy
well drawn. Altogether this is by no means a bad
book, and for Lrst EFFORT Is deserving Of special
praise.

A YEAR OF PLENrY.-From all parts OF the
country the cheering intelligence continues to
come announcing the abundance of the earth's
productions. The wheat crop just harvested
is all that could be desired, and the yield is
pronounced to be far above the average. In
the South the cotton promises to furnish more
bales than has been produced since the COM
mencement of The war. In The West, except
ing portion of Illinois, the corn stands firm,
and gives assurance Of an uncommon harvest.
In our own section all kinds ofgrain have done
exceedingly well, and potatoes, the farmers
say, are too plenty to pay We have plenty,
now let us have peace.

Vindication Of Law in Duchess County.

vindication Of Law in Duchess County.
A call upon the military to suppress q dis
position to riot among workmen is fortunately
an event of rare occurrence among U.S. We
know how very different it is in Belgium and
England. Pleasant Valley, near Pough-
keepsie, was however, on Saturday last an
exception to our general rule. Some hun
dreds of quarrymen, who were deprived Of
their wages through the absconding Of con-
tractor with several thousand dollars, took
possession of the barn, horse and wagon be-
longing to the absconding contractor in lieu Of
the wages due to them. OF course this sum-
mary mode of payment could not be submitted
to. After some Intellectual negotiations the
military were called in from Poughkeepsie,
and, through judicious mixture Of f1rmness
and moderation on the part of Sheriff Ken
worthy, the ringleader was arrested without
bloodshed the others quietly dispersed after
engagements had been entered into that the
wages due to them should be paid at an early
day-Tuesday, if possible. 1t seems to us that,
as the wages we're really due, it would have
been just as well as polite to satisfy the work.
men sooner that the money would be forth
coming. They didn't want to be paid with
bullets, but greenbacks. Prompt security for
early payment would have averted all this
military display, which is more European than
American. But for the prudence of Sheriff
Kenworthy we might have had to record a
tale of riot and bloodshed, and If so, would it
be right to say that the workmen only were to
blame?

The HEMPsTEAD PLAINS PURCHASE. The
overwhelming vote on Saturday Of the Hemp
stead citizens in favor of selling the Hampstead
Plains to Mr.. A. T. Stewart even at lower
price than certain spectators were eager to
offer, shows that they fully appreciated the
advantages which would accrue to the COM
munity from transferring the waste lands in
question to public spirited man who had
distinctly Set forth his laudable purpose to
expend millions in order to make such per-
manent improvements as would lead to the
speedy peopling Of thousands of acres at
present unproductive with orderly, tax paying,
withdrawing inhabitants. The public at
large win commend the decision Of Hampstead
citizens and will share with them the incal-
culable benefits of an effort to make the
wilderness glad and cause the desert to re-
joice and blossom as the rose.

An Exceptional Bourbon.

The Bourbons, who trace their origin to
Louis TX, and have played conspicuous
part in the annals of France and of Europe
since the beginning Of the fourteenth century.
are historically known as ''never forgetting
and never learning This has always been
the rule but at length it is still further proved
by signal exception. Prince Henri de Boul-
bon addressed from Paris, on the 23d of June,
letter, which has just been made public, to
the Minister of State at Madrid. In this
extraordinary letter our exceptional Bourbon,
''in testimony of his respect for the national
sovereignty, and recognizing in the proceed
ings of the Constituent Assembly of the
which modern society demands" swears fealty
to the constitution. He processes to be in
fuenced neither by interest nor by ambition.
Declaring hinselfto be neither hypocrIte nor
c"nsummate intriguer, he avows his belief
that the prince deceives himself who In our
time devotes all his thoughts and efforts to the
foundation Of dynasty, "for the universal
tendency is towards republic" He moreover
announces that he is not Louis Philippe call
ing himself a simple citizen in order to get
possession of the throne of Charles K. that
he is not his father, Philippe Egalite, "for to
serve the real interests of humanity It is
necessary to keep oneself honest and worthy"
In fine, be is mot the plagiary Of any ambiti-
GUS egotist." He adds that neither his policy
nor his pen shall ever exhibit the memory Of
Caesar, the memorable despot Of Rome; for he
an1rms that there exists more profit to
humanity and more glory for public man in
the illustrious model of Washington. In
conclusion he proclaims that ''the legislator
creates, while the hero of war scatters mourn
ing in the midst of his blood-stained laurels;
he constantly destroys and stains liberty with
his fatal liberty" Such language as this is ia
strange dissonance with that expression Of the
traditional opinions and sentiments Of the royal
family of the Bourbons. 1t Is in full accord
with the spirit Of the present age But as
we have already intimated, this signal excep-
ton to the rule that the "Bourbons never forget
and never learn" only serves to prove it,

THE BRoADBRIMs AMONG THE INDIANS -

tate with and pacify the Indians, was in

tribes. Now it appears that these broadbrim

Washington Ru,nors About Cuba.

1t is now reported in Washington that the
statement about the administration preparing
the way for the purchase of Cuba is canard,
and that the State Department denies giving
General Sickles any instructions to that end.
It is also said that Senator Sumner has writ
ten to Washington deprecating any action on
the part of the government with view to re-
cognizing the Cubans as belligerents, as such
a course might damage us in the settlement Of
the Alabama claims. Then, again, it is stated
that prominent radical Senator from the
West is preparing an elaborate argument in
favor of according belligerent rights to the
Cubans at once. Now we have reason to be-
lieve Notwithstanding the reported denial of
the State Department, that General Sickles'
mission has special reference to the condition
of Cuba and eventual destiny of that island.
1t would be strange and a short-sighted policy
on the part of our government if it had not.
As to Mr. Sumner, he has but one idea on the
question. He can see nothing only through
the medium Of the Alabama claims. But we
think that on the reassembling Of Congress not
only one Western Senator will take ground in
favor of the Cubans, bat that there will be
both in the Senate and House of Representa-
tives powerful movement for Cuban bellige-
rent rights or independence. Nine-tenths or
more of the American people cordially SYM
pathize with the Cuban patriots and wish them
success, and our representatives in Congress
will learn and be impressed with this fact dur
ing their sojourn among their constituents.
The administration is not acting in accordance
with popular sentiment in straining stupid
and un-American law to the injury of the Gu
ban cause and In support Of Spanish tyranny and
oppression. The action of the House of Re-
representatives. at the close Of the last session
indicates what we may expect next winter.
This bugbear of the Alabama claims ought not
to deter the United States from plain duty to
those who have been heroically struggling
now long time for independence and republi-
can principles. II would be shame for this
great country to ignore the principles upon
which our own independence was achieved
and government founded, and to abandon that
American policy declared in the Monroe
doctrine which we have all along proclaimed.
There is no parallel between the hasty action
of Great Britain in recognizing an integral
portion of this republic as beiligerent and the
recognition by us of the Cubans as such after
a long, heroic and successful struggle. We
think this bugbear of the Alabama claims will
be swept away when Congress meets, agree
able to the sentiment of the country, and we
and not to needlessly continue in conflict with
the popular will and the sympathy of Congress.
