ANOTHER SENSATION SPoILED.-A wonder
full story was gotten up few days ago about
the Parsee merchant, Mr.. Colah, who unfor
tunately became insane, and had to be cared
for in private asylum. The gentleman, who
was guest at the Hoffman House, had a
large amount of gold and valuables in his
possession, and it was endeavored to be shown
that he was fraudulently and mysteriously
deprived of it by the proprietors of the hotel.
The sensational bubble, however, is pricked
and burst up by the statement of Nathaniel
Jarvis, Jr., Clerk Of the Common Pleas Court,
who was appointed receiver to Mr.. Colahs pro-
perty. He says that every dollar of the money
as expressed in the bill of lading has been
satisfactorily accounted for by Messrs. Mitchell
& Read, of the Hoffman House.

THE CLUBS IN PARrs.-The socialists, the
reds, the democrats-all the stripes of dscon-
tent and differing opinion-have their nightly
meetings now in the capital Of France. In
this there is a hint of old times. In the first
revolution the clubs began as patriotic assem-
blages, purposing to develop the popular
power; but they developed tendency to
domineer over and finally a disposition to con-
troll and crush all wills that did not bend to
theirs; thence came the Reign of Terror.
Now, however, the government is reported as
watching these bodies closely by secret agents.

DIVISION IN GERMANY.-Germany is not
altogether disincined to open a fire in the
rear that will not comfort King William in his
operations against Paris. Since the sudden
change in the Kings attitude toward Napo-
leon this feeling on the part of the German
people has become very evident. Germany
does not sympathize with those ideas of the
King that have led to. this change Of front.
There is no contingency in which the German
people could prefer Napoleon to any other
power that might be found in France-least Of
all could they prefer him to republic ratified
by the consent and adhesion of the nation;
and this King who hates republics more than
he hates Napoeon-that is to say, who hates
his own enemy more than he hates the enemy
of Germany-has therefore taken a turn in
which Germany will not follow him, and which
ii can only regard with displeasure.

A Coop jon FOR JOHN BULL is the Prus-
sian advance on Paris. The defenders of the
city need all the weapons they can get, and
John Bull is selling them Remington rifles in
large quantities at a very respectable profit.
How will Germany take this? 1t will
be remembered that she protested angrily
against England sending arms and munitions
ofwar into France, just as we protested against
furnishing blockade runners to the South at
the beginning of the campaign but John Bull
don't care straw for protest as long as he
can make a penny. SO much the better for
the Parisians.

THE HERALD CORPS OF EUROPEAN WAR
CORRESPONDENCE.

We have special correspondents moving
with each division of the opposing forces of
France and Prussia, and news agencies in the
principal capitals-London, Paris, Berlin. Ma
drid, Vienna and Florence-so that nothing
of an important news character escapes our
vigihnt representatives.
Our news agencies in the principal cities of
Europe, and our system of travelling corre-
spondents, have been long established, fact
the readers Of the HERALD have no doubt long
since become familiar with, and as our letters
from all parts of the Eastern Hemisphere for
years past have fully proven.
We do not pretend that our comments upon
the war, or that our opinions upon the proba-
BILE success of either belligerent in contem-
plated movements come by the cable. Our
only aim is to give to the public the fullest,
the most reliable, and the most authentic
record of facts as they occur in the grand
operations Of the contending armies.

AN EXAMPLE. is said that Paris was
never known 50 orderly as at present, and
that in ten years there have not been so few
arrests per day as there are now 1t might
be thus in every city, if the government would
begin as it did in Paris by sweeping out of the
city or into prison all the rogues and Migrants
and the dangerous classes generally.

MAINE ELECTION ToDAY.-The annual
State election in Maine takes place to-day.
With the exception of one or two Congress
sonal districts, where matters are consider
ably muddled, the republicans will no doubt
carry the State. We have already given list
of candidates.

THE AMERICAN BoNApARrE.-It is reported
that all the Bonapartes are now out OF Paris.
If the American Bonaparte has gone he has
made a mistake. He has thereby forfeited all
chance of figuring in the republic. IL is not
likely however, that free France will choose
another Boaaparte for President. She is cured
OF the fondness for that name.

The BEST ELECTION CANvAssERs that Gene
raj Grant can have are the statisticians OF the
Treasury Department. They are the most
effective and convincing of stump speakers
Every now and then they utter sentiments in
advocacy of his reelection that burn like words
of fire. The very latest reads somewhat in this
way Receipts for revenue from all sources

BIsMARcK's GAME OF BLUFF.-The same
telegram from Ostend which announces that
Count Bismarck insists as a preliminary to
all negotiations for peace that three army
corps of the Prussian army shall be en-
camped within twenty miles of Paris as a
satisfaction to public opinion in Germany,
adds that it is believed in Brussels that
Prussia asks for more than she expects to
get, and that she will be glad to treat with
out undertaking the siege Of Paris. 1t is,
then, bluff game that Bismarck wishes to
play. We shall soon learn whether he will
win at it or not.

Italy and Rome-National Consolidation
and tho Papacy.

ana tho fapacy.
The facts Of how Italy struggled CALAMITY
in Austria's loosening grasp" of her battles
and final triumph, have been sung by the
poets, felt in the Parliaments, and acknow-
lodged by the peoples. Her banner of terri
torial unification and national consolidation
held out hope to the Italians, spoke
of enfranchisement to the French,
and warmed the Spaniards to a still
more devoted love of citizen freedom
and independence Italy, herself, has
been incomplete Notwithstanding. She ra-
dated the glow of democratic heat right out
from her heart to the surrounding nations,
but it was too diffuse, the rays were not suf1-
ciently concentrated; it was light, but light
without general illumination. The fact is,
Italy wanted, still wants, central focus,
centre of authority, centre of order and law.
She wants point for the Browning of the
ed6ce." That centre and point is Rome.
Deprived of her natural capital, Italy remains
lusus among the empires; huge body
with the caput of an infant.
Italy is about to mature. She is about to
move to Rome and crown herself. The people
have spoken in France. The Iberian PENN
sula looks for light to the white cross of Savoy
waving in the cities of the Caesars. Italy
must either abnegate her position and lay
down her crown or seek to lead the way for
the healthy regeneration of the peoples of
Europe by acting as sponsor at their baptism
in the font of st. Peters. The special tele-
gram reports from Europe which appear in
our columns to-day 60 to show that King
Victor Emanuel feels that this great
crisis is now upon him. He has
heard the voice of the democracy.
He has consequently spoken to Rome. A
special envoy from Italy has had an audi
ence with Cardinal Antonell The Cardinal
still objects. Pho Nino looks to the sword of
Saint Peter; he speaks of the army and
clutches both the keys and the crown.
Eminent prelates who are still in Rome
from foreign countries have advised his
Holiness to abandon the attitude of war
and make terms with the Italians and their
King. The Italian Cabinet says that he
must do 30. 1t has been resolved in Cabi-
net Council in Florence that should the Pope
still persist in his resistance to the national
will an Italian army shall be marched into
the Holy City at once. This will lead to other
new and exciting events in the Old World
The issue will be between the governmental
spirit of the Caesars, the war spirit of Charlie
magne, the ecclesiasto-imperialism of the
Popes and the indestructible mind Of the
masses. The American people understand
easily which will triumph. The Pope will
remain chief pastor of his Church, but the
people must become free units of the vast
congregation.

THE RECEIPTS FROM CUSTOMS at this port
present most fourishing appearance. Col
lector Murphy's returns show that the receipts
at the Custom House for August were nearly
sixteen millions of dollars which is four mil
lions and half more than those Of July, and
actually million and quarter more than the
customs receipts Of any one month since New
York was port of entry. If the income from
this source was 80 immense during the war
month, when the ocean trade Of France and
Germany was 80 materially retarded, what
may we expect when we shave peace" and
the status of these two largely exporting
nations is restored? The new Collector must
feel very comfortable in his seat when he is
able to make this exhibit at the first start.

Here is tho plot of a Chinese novel
called "The Twins" 1t is given in
a recent review of Chinese literature
bv Jessie E. Ringwalt;
"a husband and wife, after years
of constant pickering, finally differ
seriously about the marriage OF their
twin daughters. These lovely girls
are as sweet and charming as the
twin blossoms of the brilliant rose,
or the flowers of the odorous herb
bending before the breeze.
THE husband is absolutely de-
termined to dispose of them accord
ING to his own choice, and the wife,
with equal obstiancy, claims the
same right. The parents each select
their fayorite suitors, and the mar
riage presents, which are an indis-
pensable preliminary, are brought to
the house at the same moment.
"The irate father drives away with
contumely the porters who bear the
presents sent by the suitors chosen
by the mother, and his wife filings
aside with contempt those presented
bv her husbands favorites.
"The debate wakes warmer, and
threatens to become interminable,
and the case is at length carried be-
fore the official who has legal iuris-
diction over contests between parents
The magistrate is a prudent and
worthy man, who, after listening
carefully to the question at issue, de-

"The young girls are brought and
kneel before the tribunal. The
magistrate permits them to remain
silent. but orders them to exhibit
their preference by bowing either to
the right. where the suitors chosen
bv the mother arc ranged, or to the
left, where stand those selected by
the father
THE four suitors are equally re-
pulsiye to the girls, and the twins
perseveringly bow their heads, and
and rest their eyes steadily upon the
floor. The magistrate, appreciating
the feelings of the daughters, in

WHITE LEAD.

The experience Of centuries has proved
that there is no paint equal in value 70 pare
White Lead and for these reasons it cOrers
more surface 'oith a less quantity Of oil, and
stands the peatLer longer cftcr Il is p'a on.
During the war the cost of manufacturing
White Lead was more than doubled and con-
sequently the country was flooded with cheap
adulrerated paint sold as White Lead, none of
It contained more than one half of White
Lead, and much Of it none at all, white earth
called BaTytes, almost worthless as paint
being substituted therefor. Since the war
a demand has sprung up for perfectly pure
White Lead and this demand is fully answer
ed in the pure Pittsburgh Lead madeby Davis

Carbonate of Lead, and parts Linseed Oil.
While nearly every house in the United States

suit the price of the purchaser, this Firm are
