WAR SPLINTERS.

The fight at SaarbIuck WAS not much of
fight after all. 1t amounted to little
more than a skirnish, but afforded 4
chance to praise the Prince Imperial for
his great courage in looking on at IL safe
distance. Sure the blood of Napoleon
is in his veins.
The Germans in this country are holding
war meetings, but except in speeches they
amount to but little. We venture to say
that the number who will return TO the
fatherland to fight will not make great
hole in the census.
1t is thought that Napoleon erred in not
pushing promptly into Bavaria; he would
thereby have neutralized the action OF all
Southern Germany. Such movement is
impo ssible now, because it would expose
Paris.
The lower chamber of the Hungarian
Diet has voted supplementary credit of
sfive millions for defence, and has author
lied the calling out of the next years con-
tinoent when necessary.
The Journal Official says the govern
ment has decided that during the war no
person, of whatever nationality, will be
permitted to enter or leave France without
passport. This, however, is not appli-
cable to the subjects of those States actual
ly at war with France. They can only
travel in the interior, with the special per-
mission of the Minister of the Interior.
The Public says that the French govern
ment has contracted for cable between
Calais and some point in Jutland, Den
mark in order that the operations of the
Baltic feet may be reported to and from
the capital.
The London Post approves of Mr. Glad
stones policy of peace, so long as Belgium
remains untouched. 1t refers to old
treaties between the United States and
Prussia, and says the restrictions as to
articles contrahand of war will probably
| become dead letter for the United States,
especially as England pays no attention to
them.
The Berlin correspondent Of the London
News says the PrusSian plan of campaign
consists in simultaneous advance OF the
whole army. wi,hou. the reserves, towards
the French frontier. The four main rail
roads leading from the Elbe to the Rhine
will then he altogether stopped for private
traffic during the days destined to the con-
veyance OF troops. 1t is supposed that
each of these railways can convey 10000
soldiers Il day The locomotives and
wagons returning next day, 10000 again
may be conveyed on the same railway the
third day, when they will have collected
at the stations in the East, OF will have
, been echeloned along the line. Thus the
now in garrisons east Of the Rhine, will be
on the banks of that river the fifth day
after the commencement of the movement.
The reserves will follow as they come in,
which, in Prussia, is very quickly. The
Landwehr, this time, not destined to act
on the aggressive, will fill up the garri-
ons. Thus the advance from the Rhine,
which will be crossed at Cologne, Cob
| lentZ ana Nayehce py inc permanent faii-
way bridges, will be made with 10000
men complete, followed by 100000, who
will gradually fall in with .heir cadres,
The advance will be concentric upon Par
is, unhesitating and unceasing, until the
French are met. Neither an attack from
the sea nor French diversion in Southern
Germany will be needed

NEW YORK SONS OF TEMPERANCE.

Twenty Eighth Anniversary-An Interesting
aad Instructive Evening ut Association
Hall,
The Sons OF Temperance OF New York, Division
No. l. last evening twenty ighth nnni-
versary entertainment at Association Hail. Twenty
third street. The body Of the hall contained about
500 fashionably attlred persons, all OF whom ap-
peared take lively interest the entertainment
and the promoters OF the movement must have felt
highly gratined at the success in bringing large
and so respectable al assemblage together. II was
somewhat disappointing to many OF the young ladies'
present to learn that although there were
several pieces entered on the programme for
''piano accompaniment" there was no piano to be
had, and consequently the organ was to supply this
deficiency. The committee announced this Omis-
sion to be the fault OF the lessees OF the hail.
The entertainment was opened by Mr.. Y. s. Bamp-
son with lively overture on the organ taken from
Ofenbach. This piece, as well as the acc0mpani-
ments which followed, was performed with great
TASTE and brought forth repeated applause from the
audience
Rev. stephen Merritt made an interesting address
skeching IN glowing terms the rise and progress OF
the temperance cause, It's benefits and advantages
past and present. and that whereas twenty years ago
only sixteen men composed the order they now num-
bered million and half A reverend brother next
offered up q prayer. This seemed little out OF
place at such q tune. Mr., ". Il. McD0nough sang
also sang my Boyhood's Home" and was well ap.
plauded for MS efforts ct the entertainment Two

with splendid effect; she also sang Come Back to
Erin" and Take Me Back Home Again, Mother"
evening was Miss Van FladricK, who APP
peared on the platform dehcately attired In
sky blue satin wrapper trimmed with rich
reefs Of white lace; her personal appearance
was also attractive and intelligent. She sang
somebody's Wife" with such delightful accent
that she was cheered at the end OF each verse and
was encored three times during the evening" She
also sang "Don't Marry Man II He Drinks'' and
"Put Me In My Little Bed" III the same bewitchiug
style as the first.
Mr.. A. W. Gleason made an amusing speech, dur
Ing which ne warmly advocated the temperance
cause. In concluding he stated he had met man
lately In Canada who had 'swallowed 800 acres
OF land and $500 IN the shape OF strong drinks;
was that net enough to prevent o man from
drinking agan?' Professor Frobishar next gave
some interesting sketches OF the fortune OF
the "POOr Frenchman" and the man "WhO stole
the Widows only pig" &c. The audience appeared
to thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the entertain
ment throughout.
