The WAR AT LONG BRANCH-The walters at
Long Branch includes all possible nationalities,
and discuss the war in Europe with great vigor
The Sun, which we are glad to see taking recrea-
ton itself innOeently, thus describes the closing
passage OF a recent set-tO: The Frenchman
waxed wroth. He fairly yelled, while his ewes
sparkled with fury. g Mile diables You lie

camel's back, and the inluriated Frenchman,
thoroughly beside himself, launched out terrific
blow, which took the PrIssian square his
poration, and opened his mouth and caused his
eyes to start from his head in agony. The French
man followed up his advantage with tiger-like
agility, and, to make it worse for the Prussian,
the Irishman attacked him furiously in the rear.
An Englshman hastened to the rescue, however,
and knocked the Irishman down, and the German
recovering, pitched into the Frenclman, and gave
him good as he had sent. The war then be-
came general. Reinforcements rapidly arrived
from all sides, and for while the mass of mad
men writhed and struggled wildly, while the air
resOunded with the whacks of well-dealt blows,
and the yells and curses of the rioters. The
guests looked on in fear and trembling, until the
proprietor, who, by the way, is Russian, threw
himself into the thickest of the fray, and with
much ado forced a cessation of hostilities.
