nE1TII IND DINATRN

We always supposed John Bull was meant
by the man in the fable who made a god of
his stomach. At whatever crisis in life an
Englishman arrives he mounts on it to ac-
knowledge the divine property of digestion.
Whether he is married, goes on a journey or
returns, makes his fortune, or is blown up in
a steamboat excursion, comes into the world a
new born soul, or is offered to the service of
his Maker in baptism, the event is celebrated
by the swallowing of victuals. But it was
left to our French friends to give to this
chewing operation its ghastliest and most
picturesque significance.
Our English exchanges are filled with glow
ing accounts of the celebration of the battle
of SolferinO on its eleventh anniversary,
week or two ago. Official representatives from
France Austria, and Italy assembled at San
Martina, and cOnsecrated huge brick Ossuary
or Bone house, nine thousand cOrpses being
inferred together in it. The gathering we
are told, "was characterized by the most fra
eternal cOrdiality, and a distribution of orders
After this ceremony, a magnificent ban
auet was spread on the battle field, and the
representatives of the three great nations de-
voted themselves to roast and fricassee for
several hours with most exuberant hilarity.
"The red wine" says an enthusiastic specta-
tor, "howed on the ground which yet bore a
darker stain, and chicken bones took the
"place of ghastlier relics" If Monsieur lie
Mort, as our friend Jean calls him, can enjoy
joke, we fancy he must have presided with
zest over these funeral baked meats and
shaken his ribbed sides with laughter
We Yankees are tainted as practical and
lacking in sentiment. We usually do demand
for our action reasonable cause. What con-
nection there could be between the nine thou
sand slaughtered corpses and guttony and
drunkenness, we profess ourselves unable "

can leave the United States to make war
against France or any other power, or 1or
France or any other power. But any German
or any other man, who desires TO hight tOr
Germany, France or any other country, can
leave any American port and make his way to
the territory of the Government he desires to
serve. Five hundred or thousand men pos
sessed of this disposition may take ship from
America forany other country whateverpr0vided
they be not organized or equipped, and gave
no sign of hostile intent against any power
with which we are at peace. II, however
they should desire to go to Germany, Tor eH-
ample, we could not guarantee them protec-
tion against French cruisers on their passage
into a German port. We could insure them
s,fetv 70 England. or Italy, or Austria-always
provided they had not, individually or coilec-
lively, entered into the service OF elther OF the
belligerents. Our laws, which are strict IN re-
card 70 these matters, are necessary to pre-
vent our country from getting embrolied IN
European troubles. The Prussian Govern
ment in calling upon all Germans liable to
military service to return to duty at this cri-
sis, was entirely justiiable, but few recruits
will be received from America.
"A glance over the detailed lists of prices,
with the accompanying remarks, IN the last
issue of The Commercial and Ftndnc'dt
Chronicle, will show how largely all the
ordinary articles of consumption have been
affected by the Franco-Prussian war. In the
breadstufs market, it says, there has been
"almost unprecedented excitement on account
"of the war" In the market for groceries,
the evidently fuctuatng premium on gold
"has been felt by all articles" AS regards
coffee. we are told that the Sudden advance
Gin gold has caused the entire withdrawal Oh
"iobbersr As regards sugars, the price mas
increased materially, and the Influence OF the
"rise in gold has been very noticeable on the
"market for raws.n AS regards mOasses, the
"views of holders have been strengthened by
"the advance of the gold premium" AS
regards fruits, the "price of foreign dried has
"been influenced by the rise in gold, and
"almost everything in the list shows
"material advance in price" The same kind
of statement is made in item after item,
about nearly every article with which com
merce deals. In thus affecting the prices OF
living, and producing violent fluctuations III
values, the war works out its injurious effects
even in America.
We shall be better able to judge of the
superiority of the neede-gun to the Chassepot
after their respective merits have been tned
on a larger scale than they were in the Skin
mish which demonstrated the superiority OF
the Prussian weapon to the telegraph operator
at Berlin, as narrated in a dispatch to-day.

UET WfNTED-

The fight between the Erie and the New
York Central has now been going on for
month or more, and all the roads which con-
meet MS with the West have been drawn more
or less into the contest. We have more than
once pointed out, and the people are beginning
to understand, that the only way to prevent
this is to break up monopoly by building
enough railroads to accommodate our traffic
and to allow a natural competition. When
this is done, we shall not see Erie and the
Central carrying freight at one time for hall
its actual cost, and at another combining to
keep up extravagant rates, in order to cover
consequent losses.
We welcome, therefore, any enterprise prom
Using to give us another route to the West,
and the more cordially when, as in the case OF
the midland Railroad" now constructing, it
not only connects us with the West, but opens
up the great inland counties of Newly ork
State, which have long lain idle. 1t will con-
tribute greatly to the prosperity of our State
to have Central and Western New-IOrk brought
within few hours distance of the metropolis.
We hope, then, that the efforts of the Mid
land Railroad Company to secure the CO.
operation of our capitalists will meet with a
prompt response. The towns and counties
along the route have contributed upward of
$1,000, 900 to the enterprise, and other capital
has not been backward. The security offered
is a First Mortgage Bond backed by large
capital stock and restricted in amount to
100000 per mile of road actually built and in
running order. The road extends from Jersey
City to the northern boundary of NewJersey,
and thence to Oswego on Lake Ontario. 1t
is about 400 miles in length, and shOrtens the
route to Buffalo and the West by about seventy
miles, and brings us forty-fve miles nearer
Oswego and Canada.
The northern section of the Midland, about
$50 miles, between Oswego and Sidney Plains,
is completed, and has been in operation for
several months. Another hundred miles will
be finished before the close of the present sea-
son, and by the end of next year it is expect
ed that the whole line will be ready for traffic.

INTERFERING THE EMPEROR.

The DdiIy Telegraph of London has long been
celebrated for its abeCt devotion to the French
Emperor. Ii has sung his glories till England
is nauseated with the melody. Ii has peeped
through his key-hole and described his guests
at dinner. 1t has haunted the doorways OF
the Tuileries and seeing the company go Ill
to the state balls has put itself IN their place
and painted the festivities with glowing colors
II has fancied itself on intimate terms with
all Napoleon's courtiers and ministers, and
duly reported in London their supposed re-
marks. mingled with a great many OF It's own.
After this it was of course no more than nat
ural that the special correspondent OF me Ie-
eqraph should be accorded an interview with
his Imperial Majesty and learn directly from
the august lips Just what his Imperial Majesty
wanted to have repeated.
As we don't know what was told Ihe Iete-
oroph. of course we cannot undertake to say
how much of the reported conversation was
obtained from some of the EmperorS iackeys,
and how much is pure invention. Ihe Ieie-
graph assures us that His Majesty told ITS
special interviewer that France was slipping
" from his hands, and, in order to rule, he
"must lead France to war; Nobody needs to
be told that the Emperor said no such thing.
This part of the report at any rate, Is pure
invention. To be sure, what Napoleon is sup
posed to have said is true, but Napoleon
would not dream of saying it. Then we are
told that, after the war of 1866, France asked
leave of Prussia to steal Luxembourg
and Prussia replied by asking leave
to steal Holland; whereupon Napoleon
breathed thrcatenings and slaughter and
the negotiation came to an end. This proves
that even the Paris correspondent OF The Ieie-
oraph can sometimes accidentally come near
the truth. What was really proposed at that
time we have shown elsewhere. France did
want to seize Luxembourg, but she wanted to
seize great deal more with it. The Times
has given the story in full; and that part OF
that story should be confirmed by The IeIe-
qraph-we beg pardon! by His Majesty the
Empcror-s an additional reason to believe
all that The Times has told us. We hope the
correspondent of The Telegraph will call on
fine FmDprOr again.
