A NEW WAR CLOUD.

1t is stated by those more familiar than
we are with the details, that there were
two battles on Sunday, that were favor
able at one point to the French, while
the Prussians were successful at the
other. The length of their respective
lines, and the immense numbers engaged,
render it impracticable to form correct
estimate of results, even with all the
preparations made, and the facilities the
combatants have. The two engagements
took place on the line Of the Moselle,
near the still unconquered city and fort
ress of Metz. Nothing has transpired
in our more recent dispatches to throw
additional light on the subject, and the
situation appears to remain unchanged.
The Nspoleonic dynasty depends upon
the absence of failure. A brilliant tri-
umph would seat Louis on the throne of
the Empire more firmly than ever, and
with more power than he has ever WELD
ed. 1t is not beyond apprehension that
much of the jealousy and suspicion with
which Louis Napoleon has been hereto
fore viewed, has been transferred to Bis
marck. The New York World has an
article on this subject, which it entities
"a New War Cloud, from which we
make>a brief extract:
But while darkness covers the face of
the fight in Lorraine and Alsace, singu-
lar and significant rumors come to us
from Flanders and England. 1t was to
have been expected that these countries
would be alarmed by the extraordinary
display of military strength which the
Prussians have made, and the wonderful
good fortune which has attended their
operations. 1t is evident now that this
expectation is beginning to be fulfilled.
The character of Count Bismarck is so
we'll known that neutral States, exposed
by their position 10 the enterprises of
such parsonage welding the military
force of all Germany. united under q
strictly military and despotic monarchy,
may we'll be excused for aronsing them
selves in time to meet so formidable a
peril. What these States feared half a
century ago from France they plainly
fear no less now from Prussia.

A spider I'm the Pumping.

Who has not heard the old saying that
when wife tires of her husband, she
might put spiderin his dumping? OF
late years, the progress of events through
Chicago and Indiana courts in facilitat-
ing divorces, has relieved the "dear cree
churs " from such direful necessity So
the adage has become somewhat musty,
and would not have occurred to us again,
perhaps, if this strange story had not
appeared in the Courier-Journal of the
18th; ag aii9J, fesKli
A singular death, reported by CORE
spondent of the Courier-J ournal, occurred
in Tishomingo county, Mississippi, few
days ago. Mr.. Pennington, a stout,
healthy farmer, living about four miles
from luka had slight chill last Sunday.
The day before he was in excellent
health. Monday morning he felt
the approach Of another chill and
lay down on the bed. After lying
awhile he remarked to a member Of his
family that he had heard it said that
spider-webs "were good for the chills,"
and that he believed he would try the
remedy. Whereupon he rose from the
bed, and gathering from the walls or cell
ing of the room a web in which were
three "spider-balls," as they are called,
swallowed them without more ado. lmme-
diately there was heard within his chest a
faint sound as if the balls had burst, and
in ten minutes he was dead Very soon
his throat, lips, and the whole of his face
were greatly swollen by the action Of
the poison Who has not seen hundreds
of young spiders, not as large as pin
head, swarm from one of these balls
when broken open? And who, but this
Inflated Mississippian, would ever have
thought of swallowing spoonful of
them as a remedy for the chills, or for
anything else? pila a M

THE ErFEcT OF NATIONALITY.

In respect to the retaliatory shooting
of forty citizens at Worth by the Prus-
slams, the New York World expresses a
doubt of its reliability, and says, should
it prove unhappily to be true, it will pro-
woke some interesting reflections on the
true meaning of that much-abused word
nationality" The people of Worth are
a people of nnmixed German race. The
most part of them speak only German
They and their country have been de-
tached from the German empire within
comparatively recent period Of history.
Yet so thoroughly French are they, and
so intense is their hatred Of invaders
who speak their own tongue and are Of
their own blood, that they cannot be re-
strained from private and unauthorized
hostilities against them. Nations are
not made by blood alone, nor yet by
speech alone. Before Europe ends the
war now begun, the doctrine Of nation
alities will be apt to be revised and
corrected in a very serious fashion. "

Of an engagement is received, il is of
