The War In Eurore.

Up to $3.50 o'clock this morning
we have no news Of further fighting
between France and Prussia, except
vague rumors of q great battle pro.
crossing at Metz, but which has not
been confirmed, and the rumors were
doubtless premature.
The scene in the Corps Legislatif,
at Paris, last night. was of the most
exciting character, and indicates that
Louis Napoleon has about as much
to fear from the people of Paris. as
from his enemies on the Rhine. The
resignation Of the ministry, is but the
beginning of reign of anarchy in
the French metropolis. and it will
not surprise any one. if cries Of Ue
Ia Republique, resound through the
streets of Paris, to-day. It Is not
strange that Louis Napoleon is i'll.
His Empire is dangerously i'll.

NOTES EROM HASHINOION.
The y ueut senator.

Tho most dangerous quality for leg sln
tor Is too much Hueney. lie Ia like COW who
gives down without milking. "Mr. Speaker"
said Bray Dickinson, "the gentleman who last
spike ~ like me with difference. lack words
for my ideas, and be lacks ideas for his words"
This leakiness necessarily creates a doblitaied
rhetoric, which 1t is like sitting spikes TO lis
ten To. The man with this disability grows en-
amored Of th 20 sound Of his own voice. Observe
him. He enters the arena Of debate. Did you
ever see Louis QuiDzc minuct, where the par
ties get themselves up in most elaborate toilets,
aud make great parade of dancing, and yet do
nothing but bow ard scrape, 60 forward only to
go backward, aud finally sit down gracefully ex-
hsusted, without having done anytbmgf This is
YOUR fluent speakers method. lie Ia so confident
In the unfailing resources Of his vocabulary
that he becomes dainty in the pick Of
his words. lie has such a choice supply that
he culls aud chooses at will. II he uses one set,
and finds they did not exactly 6t, he goes back
and tries another. And he grows happy over his
verbal felicities willie his hearers grow wrctchod.
lie moves upon Lis subject as u chess player. lie
pushes up q pawn, he quirks with knight, he
slides along a bishop, bat always without any
monifest advance of the game. lie Is mn ANA:
teur in the ring, who pranccs round his subject,
takes attitudes, makes feints, and squares away
as though he was going to strike aud then never
hits. lie sets out TO lay down a proposition,
and begins all fair and lucid, but in trying TO
fence It in he breaks bulk on his nouns, pnd CON
functions, and adyerbs, and pet mauncrisHs; and
by the time he has got up his enclosure the propo-
sition has escaped altogether. and you wonder
what the devil has become Of Il. A great deal
