HOW MARBLE Is SAWED.

The blocks, laid by the derrick each on
truck which itself stands crossways on
another, are drawn up to the front of the
mill tackle is hooked on, power applied,
and each truck with its load drawn in to
the mill on its own truck and placed I'M
der gang of saws. In some mills the
blocks are drawn in by oxen on a Stone
boat, but the simple mechanical contriv-
ance employed here render the operation
much easier and quicker. The saws are
straight plates of iron, perhaps four inch
es wide, running like threads
lengthwise of huge rectangular
wooden frame, which is held up at
each corner by stout iron rod, pivoted
above, and is driven back and forth horiz-
ontally by pitman, operated by crank
on the gearing which the main shaft
drives. The frame being lowered till the
edges of the plates touch the top of the
block, and the wheels set in motion, the
rapid vibration of the frame and saws
backward and forward on the block soon
cuts 1t up into slabs, or would cut 1t.
one who sees the operation for the first
time might say, if there were any teeth
on the saws to cut with but how can the
smooth-edged plates of iron wear down
through the hard stone? 1t is
by the help of sand and water.
Sharp quartz sand is strewn on the
block shoveled on by laborer from a
wheelbarrow or pile, and from above a
water-pipe supplies steady drop, drop
of fine streams, which carry down the
sand under the saws, and then their

iron plates soon cut burrows in the block.

WHO INSPIRED THE SURRENDER?-It is
reported in our news that the surrender
of the army at Sedan was made against the
protest of the younger officers and at the insti-
cation of the Emperor, shocked by the losses.
It will be the greatest case Of conscience on
record if it shall prove that this step toward
peace was taken when overcome with horror
at the slaughter by the man who 80 recklessly
made the war. Napoleon, in the state that France
was in just before the war began, could not
have hoped his son would succeed him on the
throne; and disastrous war could not make
that any worse, while a successful war would
have made the succession of the son possible.
There was, then, clear dynastic ratson Tetre
of the war, and such a view of it does no
injustice to the author Of the coup Gftat. But
the hope founded on this reasoning failed
many days since, and further slaughter was
useless even from that strictly dynastic and
selfish point of view. But it is doubtful il
this will not be regarded by France as only
the last of the Emperor's evil acts. Would
any people care to have the existence Of its
armies made subject TO the shattered nerves ol
an invalid?

OUR MEXICAN CORRESPONDENCE, published
on another page Of the HERALD this morning,
shows that the same troubles which agitated
Mexico for years past are just now as
prevalent as ever. General Martinez il
still at large at the head of an army,
and is making considerable progress in
the States through which he is making
his march. In other parts of the republic
rebel generals are also making themselves
felt The government is powerless, evidently,
to stay the progress of these fellows, and the
press Of the country, instead of endeavoring
to awaken the government and the people to
the necessity of action, is fretting itself over
other matters in most ridiculous manner.
The Tehauntepec canal concession is also on
the tapis again, and the protest of English
bondholders, together with Minister Romero s
reply, will be found interesting.

The Sermons Yesterday.

Halt dozen or more preachers yes.
terday solemnly announced 1t as their
conviction that the defeat of MacMahon
and surrender of Napoleon were tho
result of Providential interference in be-
half OF the Prussans. Providence doubtless
took part in the conflict and doubtless do
cided 1t, for Providence, the great Napoleon
declared, always fights on the side Of tho
strongest battalions, and we see it generally
admitted that the Germans outnumbered the
French two or three to one. Rev. Mr.. Smyth
declared that France is an ungodly nation:
hence her punishment. DR.. Potter, at Grace
church, limited that Napoleon being the eldest
son of "a corrupt Church, God had admins
tered slight chastisemsnt to both. Thus the
opponents of Catholicism and of France ex-
pressed their convictions. Why the war should
be 50 generally regarded as one of religions we
cannot understand, considering that probably
one third of the men who defeated MacMahon
on Thursday are Catholics. At the French
Catholic church Of ST. Esprit very touching
prayer was offered up for the protection and
deliverauce Of France.
War subjects are getting somewhat monoto-
nous; so we leave them for things more re-
ligious and pious. Rev. David Mitchell dis
coursed learnedly on Providence and undis-
covered crime, while Rev. Mr.. Pullman
explained what bad theology and true religion
were. The Christians hope was the subject
of Rev. Mr.. Tyngs sermon and Gods presence
Ia I. Pay MOI rfh AZ
the German Lutheran church there was no
ausion in the sermon to the war in Europe,
the preacher cOnfining his remarks to purely
religious matters. At John street Methodist
Episcopal church, the Church of Our Saviour,
the Scotch Presbyterian church, Church of the
Stranger and elsewhere the discourses were
listened to with marked attention by large
congregations. The Catholic churches were
all crowded. We regret exceedingly to
observe that our religious reports have
fallen under the displeasure of Rev.
Mr.. Monroe, of ST. Francis Xavler's
church. The reverend gentleman objects
! to having every denomination noticed to-
| gether, and does not approve of criticisms
| on church music. We are very sorry at this
disapproval, but we cannot agree with the
| clergyman. The HERALD is the most catholic
of all papers, and consequently cannot dscri-
inmate in favor Of or against any denomi-
nation. All must be noticed together. As
for the church music, we really cannot see
how we can avoid offending Father Monroes
taste. However, we promise to give his SER
mon earnest consideration, and will perhaps
| let him know our decision.
In Brooklyn, Washington and other places
reported, the same large attendance and
acceptable sermons are recorded. All the
great luminaries of pulpit oratory have moi
yet returned it is true, but the lesser lights
Of church preaching did, on the whole, very
| well indeed.

REOPENING OF THE CHURCHES. Pastors
and their f1ocks are returning home and the
folds are reopened for them. The interiors of
many of our fashionable churches have been
thoroughly renovated during the summer holi-
days. On each succeeding Sunday they will
be more fully thronged with worshippers. Our
pulpit orators have had an opportunity while
absent on their pleasure tours to gather from
nature and from human nature wealth of
fresh and pertinent illustrations of their
weighty themes. The organ and vocal music
will continue to enhance the attractions of the
sanctuary without drowning the tones in which
the preacher denounces vice and invites sim
ners to repentance. The churches will now be
open, at least on Sunday. Is 1t too much to
hope that the custom on the European Cont
nent Of keeping them open on week days as
we'll as on Sunday may yet be adopted in
New York? In this respect Trinity CHURCH
has set an example that might well be generally
initiated

REoPRNING OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
reopening Of the public schools brings happily
together the teachers and pupils who, during
the past vacation, have gathered health and
strength for their tasks. They will enter on
these tasks with fresh energy, and our public
schools are now so well organized that they
will doubtless prove more abundant fountains
of good than ever. The whole community is
deeply interested in them as indispensable
means for educating those who are to be the
men and women of the next generation.

what Will France Have to pays

Prussia's first demand will doubtless take
the form of a ACKNOWLEDGMENT of France. She
will seek remuneration for the expenses of the
war by the territorial aggrandizement of her
self and her allies; but if the general sense
of Europe Is against this she may accept the
satisfaction of money indemnity. One or the
other she will certainly insist upon, and her
demand will not be light one in either case.
Common rumor, taking its inspiration, perhaps,
from what has been thought and said in high
circles in Berlin, has named Asace and Lor-
raine as the parts of France the German will
grasp for-Alsace to be given 10 Baden, and
Lorraine, no doubt, to extend the limits of
Rhenish Prussia. The western boundary of
the ancient kingdom of Lorraine was the Meuse
river, and thus the Prussian would come into
possession Of the whole of the present theatre
Of war-would have indeed, simply to hold
on to his conquests. But Europe will never
accord this. The same sentiment that in 1915
set England, Austria and France in agreement
against Russia and Prussia, when these two
Powers desired little too much, would now
Russia would on this occasion join the oppo-
nents of her too potent neighbor. Indemnify in
money, therefore, is in all probability the shape
that satisfaction will take and the sum will be
one that will perhaps fasten remembrance upon
the taxpayers of France. In 1915 France
paid three hundred and seven million dol
lars, or one billion aud half francs
OF course that was not money satisfaction
for the devastation of the revolutionary and
imperial wars, for that devastation had wasted
Europe dozen times over and was beyond
computation. 1t was penalty adapted rather
to the endurance and capability of the offender
than to the remuneration of those who inflicted
it. But for this war Of forty-fivc days it is not
impossible to compute the damage and ex-
pense. Prussia has to be reimbursed and has
to reimburse her allies, and there will also be
a pension list of startling proportions. Indeed,
we should not be surprised to see France
mulct in sum double or treble what was
exacted Of her in 1915.

FROM THE FAR EAsT.-From Japan and
China and the banks of the Suez Canal we
have quite an interesting budget of news sup
piled for our columns by reports received by
the European mail. The facts as they appear
to-day denote a very considerable amount of
healthy progress in Japan. China advanced
also in materialistic way. The empire re-

What Napoleon tho Third Has Done Tor
Europe and What for France.

What Napoleon the Third Has Done for
Europe and What for France.
The reign Of Napoleon the Third has been
distinguished by great achievements for Europe
and for France. First, in his alliance with
England against Russia in the Crimean war, he
saved the :" sick man of Turkey" from the
deadly designs of the Great Bear, thus retain
ing to England and France the balance of
power in the East against the Cossack. Next,
in adopting the Italian programme of the great
statesman of Sardinia, Cavour "the nephew
of his uncle" established, from the dis
cordant petty States and duchies of
Italy, powerful and homogeneous kingdom,
thus putting an end to the petty squabbles
and the bloody wars which for hundreds of
years had devastated the Italian plains and
peninsula, and establishing internal peace in
the simple act of fusing the members of the
Italian family in a common self-sustaining
government. This was great achievement,
not only in view OF peace, harmony and pros
perity to the Italian people from the late
Austrian dependencies to the late kingdom of
Naples, but in view Of the peace Of the
Continent.
Napoleon has not been 50 successful in his
schemes for the settlement of the affairs of the
Pope and the States OF the Church, but he has
turned over this important business to the
King of Italy in such shape that it will
doubtless soon be settled in the reconstruction
of Europe, by turning over Rome to Italy as
her capital, the Papal States as part of her
territories, and the Pope as her ward, under
certain stipulations from the great Powers.
This was the ultimate design of Napoleon, but
it embraced certain equivalents to France
(such as the island of Sardinia) which will
now be left out.
But the greatest achievement of Napoleon
the Third in behalf of the future peace of
Europe may be summed up in the union of
the German States, brought about through his
diplomatic arrangements with Count Bis
marck, which, from the war between Prussia
and Austria, resulted in establishing the great
North German Confederation and from this
war between France and Prussia has resulted,
or will soon result, in establishing the greater
German empire. That old Napoleonic idea of
the rectifcation of the Rhine frontier has
done this thing, and has reduced France from
her high estate as arbiter of Europe to a seat
in the continental councils behind Prussia, or
Germany, which now means the same thing
the United States of Germany.
This is what Napoleon the Third has done for
France; and, compared with this humiliation,
we fear that the French people will forget all
the magnificent improvements of Paris and of
France, by land and sea, and his good works
in all the departments of industry and science
and art which distinguish he eighteen years
of the brilliant reign Of the now fallen En-
peror. Such is the vanity of imperial glory.
1t may spring up in night, like Jonah's over
shadowing gourd vine; but it may be scOrched
and blasted in a single hour.
The New York herald., 1870-09-05

The FIGHTING IN THE LAST BATTLE. -
In the last battle the French seem to have
been crushed almost mechanically by the mere
weight of their enemy. The failure of the
Germans to force point in the French line
shows how well the French fought; but the
irresistible movement of the German force
along the whole length of the line, which rem
dered it impossible for the French commander
to reinforce any particular part of his line,
while it was sure to develop all the weak
points in the French position, was the obvious
way to give the Germans the full advantage
of their superiority in numbers. 1t was the
act of commander confident Of vast numeri
cal superiority; but the loss must have been
very great so long as the French artillerists
kept heart and head.
