But the hours flew by to the tuncful music,
and Lady Jane Grey had only to wish in vain
that the noble OsceOla would mutely invite
her to dance, for SO devoted was he to Miss
WestbroOk that he had eyes for none else.
1t drew near midnight, and the tlushes she
felt ON her checks grew brighter, for ''now,"
she thought, 81 will see viii, beg his forgive

completely remove any natural conceit Capt
Sayres might experience upon being her

1t wanted yet five minutes of the mystic
hour, when, from aag-slraped window
whittier she had resOrted to calm her excited
feelings, Lille heard "A voice, one she knew
and loved 50 well.
"Yes; we have spent, so far, q most delight
fnl evening Thanks to you, dearest cousin"
It-was Win Mortimefs voice that spoke.
II am glad you have, Will,r' replied his
companions; II feared Miss I.awton's absence
would vex and grieve you.-
"Vex me it does, Katie, for she has, by her
absence, declared o waged war against you
Grieve me, hardly. Katie, have learned to-
night that perhaps, after al, ,d4ille Lawton

A deadly cold chill seized the listener and
she grasped her mask more tightly, lest by
some unfortunate mischancc he might dis
cover who she was.
''Shc is beautiful girl, WILL" replied Katie
WestbrOok; and Lille thought that she de-
tected a trembling jim the low alto voice.
Then VIII replied, in his winning noble
way, that made him irresistible" Beauty
is but dust compared with true womanly
spirit. And, Katie, dear, where a selfish
jealousy reigns, true love never blooms,
either in their heart toward another, or
anothcr's toward them"

THE SUNDAY LIQUOR BUSINESS

1t is with grief we observe the practical
failure of the recent attempts to enforce the
anti-Sunday liquor selling provisions of the
Excise law in this city. We have no doubt
that Superintendent Jourdan and his police
force have done about as well as they could
be expected to do under the circumstances
After JOurdan had been instructed by the Ex-
else Board that the prohibitory Sunday clause
of the old Republican Excise law was still to
be enforced, he issued an order to the police
captains, fortnight ago, directing them to see
to its peremptory enforcement. The large
number of arrests of liquor dealers that
were made during the two last Sundays
shows that the police made some
thing like serious effort to carry
out their orders But the failure of the
superintendent was shown in the far greater
number of arrests that were not made of
liquor dealers whose places were in full or
partial operation through the day or night of
both these Sundays. In every part of the city
liquors of every kind, and in any quantity,
were sold more or less openly, over the coun-
tiers. In the populOus districts on the east
side particularly, the rum-shops were active on
almost every block, and half-drunken men
staggered in as wholly drunken wretches stag
gered out from noon till midnight. In some
places, the doors were left half-open; in Others,
they were closed, but unlocked, while to others
entrance was obtained by side doors or passage
ways. At night the glare of gaslight in in
Vulnerable saloons could be seen through the
partially opened shutters, which advertised to
everybody that there was neither danger in
the purchase nor penalty for the sale of liquors.
We must say that We are exceedingly grieved
at this state of things. We are quite as anx-
ious that Sunday liquor selling and rioting
should be suppressed by the Democratic au-
thorities who now control affairs, az we were
in other times that they should be suppressed
by the Republican authorities. The question
is one of public order and of law, of public
peace and decency We know that the Sunday
liquor traffic can be suppressed in New-York.
For we know that it was very efiectuaIy sup

.t1ls matter we have as yet but imperfect
MEANS of Judging The debates in the Cham
bers might teach US something, if we had
them in full, but from the brief messages of
the Cable it is impossible to form fair
Judgment. The fluctuations of the Bourse are
uncertain. So far they indicate considerable
uneasiness-as we might, Of course, expect
but not general belief in war. The best
criterion of all is the press, and here the cable
leaves us almost in the dark. The only voices
we are permitted to hear through the Atlantic
telegraph are those of the Ibert6, COnstitu-
ionnel, Moniteur, and Pays. With the single
exception of the first, which is rather the indi-
vidual organ of its editor than the mouthpiece
of any party, these papers are all more or less
devoted to the service of the Ministry. From
the Independent and popular journals of France
we have not heard word. This fact is sig
niicant. 1t does not prove that France is
opposed to the war, but it is an indication
that the people at any rate are not infiamed
with military enthusiasm, and it is therefore
sign that peace is still possible.

PEdCE OR WdRf

After all, the question of peace OF war is to
be decided not by the wishes of the French
Emperor but by the will of the French peO-
pie. There is no doubt in any reasonable
mind that Napoleon threatens hostilities upon
perfectly insufficient grounds. There is
no doubt that the project of the ele-
walton of Prince of the house
of Hohenzollern to the throne of Spain is
carrying out a long cherished project of
humiiating the rival power of North Ger
many and if possible selling the Rhenish
provinces. Neither abstract justice, nor
present expediency, nor the historical
policy of his own realm, justifes him
in the course he now pursues. Is that
course to be followed to the dire extremity of
war, or will the Emperor permit solution of
the difficulty by the means which seems so
obvious, namely, a rejection of Prince Leopold
by the only nation which really has right
to prevent his choice The answer,
as we have said, must be found in
the disposition of the French people.
The elamor for war is only in France Prussia
is calm Spain is undisturbed. If the present
outcry is merely official buster, it viii soon
come to an end. 1t may have been intended
to win seeming victory over Prussia by
forcing the retirement of Prince Leopold; it
may have been intended to stimulate the
tagging Loyalty of the French people
by the prospect of military glory; it may have
been intended as a sort of plebiscitum, to find
out whether France wanted war or not
Either superstition, in the present situation of
Napoleon ILL.,, is plausible one; and in either
case the determination must be close at hand
If it turn out that there is in France a genuine
popular aversion to hostiliiss, peace is GER
tain. If the popular voice be for war. the
war can hardly be averted. Napoleon for
years has been drifting with current which
he dares not try to stem. The most he can do
is TO keep his bark in the middle of the stream.
What the sentiment Of the French people is

Superintendent Jourdan is entitled to credit
for his attempt to improve the force in his
charge The police having been surrendered
by the new charter to Democratic direction,
has naturally become demoralized, and one
desiring to know how rapidly it is going from
bad to worse need but to attend the trials of
delinquents before the Commissioners. Despite
heavy fines and numerous dismissals, delin-
quencies have so increased that ninth of the
force is arraigned every week for neglect of
duty. The explanation is to be found in the
character of the men who now are appointed.
This deterioration is not surprising, and We
fear it will go on notwithstanding the vigilance
of the Superintendent and the severity of the
Commissioners.

We read of most dreadful Elder in the
Second Baptist Church in Wilmington, Ohio.
In the first place, he ran away from his wife.
Secondly, he "lied about Elder Hickman" did
this Elder Davis. Thirdly, he would MT come
back to his Church, though often requested so
to do. Whereupon he was turned out solemnly
and officially. How much the wrath Of Elder
Hickman had to do with the expulsion, we
do MT know; but it seems that they "often re-
"quested" him to come back, which was very
charitable, certainly, considering that he was a
Deserter of his Wife and a Slanderer. We
wonder if it has ever occurred to the pulpit
critics of Mr.. Dickens that they have such
Elders in England

A Mr.. Leininger who is purveyor of green
turtle soup in Cincinnati, is good enough to
publish in newspaper of that city many
particulars of the natural history of green
turtles. Whether anybody would enjoy Mr..
LIS soup any more for knowing that "the
"shell is smooth, with 10 plates, 8 vertebrate
" slightly notched, and seriated behind with
"25 plates" we don't know; but whether the
animal which, in its native haunts, lives on
sea-weed, sea-water, and species of grass
called sostea marina, likes to be laid on its
back and kept for five years "on the moisture
contained in the atmosphere" we know as
little. However, Mr.. Leininger says the abb
stinent creature will gain 25 pounds per year
on this spare diet. How he enjoys himself
and escapes ennui during this seclusion is a
mystery. He probably passes his time in
philosophical reflections, like a doubled-up
East Indian devotee-or the Democracy in the
midst of their chronic defeats.

ready been 40 much outraged. Again Mr..
Fish protested, and again his protests were
entirely disregarded. The treaty OF 1795 ex-
pressly stipuates that citizens OF the one
country shall have the privilege of employing
advocates solicitors, &C.. to defend their rights
of person and property before the tribunals OF
the other. This article the Spaniards have
uniformly violated. Americans whose prop
er+v in Cuba ia confscated or detained are not
allowed TO be heard by the courts. Americans
who have been thrown into the prisons OF
China are not allowed counsel to prepare their
defense. Upon these points also Mr.. FISH mas
made circumstances, and his INCONSISTENCIES
have been wholly fruitless.
Finally, on the 9th of last month our Secre-
tary of State addressed o long communication
70 the Spanish Minister at Washington, reca-
Initiating the complaints of his former notes,
and urging, with more courtesy than ought
perhaps TO have been expected under the cir
cumstances that Spain should take vigorous
stems to secure to the citizens of the United
| States within Spanish dominion the full
measure of the rights accorded to them by
" the treaty of 1906" Mr.. Roberts replied that
he no longer had the powers hitherto lntrusted
to him of settling such matters as MIR. FISH
referred to and Gen. Sickles has consequently
been instructed to make our complaints for
mally at Madrid.
We shall await the result of the Generals
representations with fair share of impatience'
The characteristic vice of Spanish diplomacy
is delay, and we have had too much OF that
already. Gen. Grant must insist upon an i'm
mediate answer and immediate redress. Where
there is only question of money, we can af-
ford to parley and dispute and exchange end
less dispatches; but here the lives of ouI
people are in danger, and many who profess
to be entitled to our protection are unjustly
held in prison. Every days unnecessary de-
lay in exacting reparation for such wrongs Is
disgrace to us. We regret that Mr.. Fish has
said so little in his report about the arrest and
execution of Americans for these are the out
RACES at which the people have been most ex-
cited The meek remonstrance with which ne
has submitted to such vital assaults upon ouI
national honor has given Spain good reason to
believe that we are prepared to suffer anything
rather than fight. 1t is high time for us to
adopt a more peremptory tOne-or else we had
better warn our citizens at once not to travel
abroad, because our flag will not protect them
outside of our own territory.

Mr.. Mungen settles the question. Pacific
