Coon LOOKING MES.-Mr. Justin
Mccarthy, whose readable papers have
given him well deserved reputation
throughout the country, contributes
TO the last number Of the GdidTy, an
essay on American men rs compared
with Englishmen, in which the COM
plifnenls to our countrymen are nu-
merous, and some Of them striking.
Mr.. Mccarthy, among other compli-
mentary things, speaks emphatically
Of the number Of handsome men found
in America. "In every theatre" he
says, ain every pr' !ic meeting, social

FOOT-wAsHING.
From the N. Y. Tribune.

ffOfu tNE N Il. ITtOuUe.
The ancient ceremony of foot-washing, the
Eastern Budget tells us, was performed at
Vienna this Easter Twelve of the most
hopelessly poor old men and women that
could be procured we're brought out of their
rags and dirt, properly bathed and attired in
suitably picturesque old German costumes,
and then placed in the throne-room in ''the
presence of the royal family of Hanover and
the principal court dignitaries, together with
an immense crowd of visitors, invited, let
us hope, for the moral effect of the spectacle,
rather than from any consideration of rank.
The twelve impersonations of poverty were
then seated to cold collation. which was
placed before them by the Emperor aud Em-
press; they were not, however, allowed to eat
anything, the dishes being Immediately re-
moved and placed in wooden vessels. The
feet of the women were then washed by the
Court Chamberlain, the Empress touching
them with laced towel, Prince Hohenlohs
and the Emperor performing the same office
for the men. The Emperor and Empress
(after washing their hands) then hung round
the neck of each bag containing thirty
pieces of silver, and the poor old wretches
were sent back to the squalor in which they
had spent their lives in Court carriages, each
with bottle of wine and his dinner, while
the imperial party, let US hope, betook them
selves to their accustomed routine, secure of
approving conscience and smiling heaven,
with the sweet consciousness of having dis
charged their duties to poverty for another
year, and vinaicated their claim to be faithful
disciples OF the meek and lowly Saviour.
The ceremony does not seem to us SO
unique as some would have us believe. There
is great deal of foot-washing going on in
the world Poverty manifests itself to Napo-
leon just now in a less ideal form than the
twelve old men in ancient German cos
tune" of his Viennese brother He offers
it, therefore, the bonnie b0uche of a vote
instead OF cold dinner in a wooden pail;
but the one gift has about as much meaning
and is as lasting and effective as the other.
There are certain prelates in Catholic and
Protestant churches who live in palaces
and draw princely incomes solely on the
strength of a triennial sermon, in which
they declare themselves the humble followers
of Him who had not where to lay His head.
This is one of the most profitable and remark
able feats of foot-washing known, and has
long been the envy of the uRconsecrated
world. For the truth is, we are all of Us ad-
dicted more or less to foot washing; We have
all OF us some favorite short and easily
scrawled note % hand with which to pay our
enormous debt to right or to virtue And it
is curious to observe how very small en-
amount of cash the world will accept as a
payment for that debt, and how long we can
Keep our credit up with boldly written due
bills.
We have, unfortunately, in this country no
picturesque throne-rooms or medieval cos
tun es in which TO discharge our obligations

THE PROJECTS OF PRUSSIA.

n
Not long before the great events of 1866
Count bismarck, who had just returned from
pleasant trip to the south of France, said to
one of the leaders of the opposition in the
Parliament at Berlin: -''Here is an olive
branch which 1 have brought with me from
my journey. l offer it to you in token of
friendship and peace. Unite your efforts with
mine. The opposition was short-sighted
enough to refuse. ''Wen," said Bismark
again, 81 had wished to make the country
great with you; l will make it great without
you. Your friends refuse So be IL"
Such was the attitude of the great German
statesman when his own colleagues had not
calibre enough to appreciate his exalted views.
Such is now the attitude of Prussia as COM
pared with the rest of the Germanic States.
Prussia meditates the building up of grand
Ieutonlc empire to hold the balance of power
IN Europe between belligerent and restless
France on the one hand and overshadowing
Russia on the other. But some of the smaller
States hold back, considering their diminu-
tive autonomies of more dignity and value
than participation in the life of one vast
united power that would command the re-
spect OF the world. Prussia, then, deter
mined to make Germany great, and, eager
10 nave done SO by the aid of her Teutonic
nelghbors, Will now do SO without them The
Zoll Parliament has transacted its business
tremendously and has adjourned King
William is exchanging courtesies with the
King of Bavaria; the Emperor of Russia pro-
mises an early visit to Berlin, and, mean
while, the most vigorous preparations, naval

and military, are going forward by night and
by day as in anticipation of some compre-
hensive and yet perilous movement. The
Prussian journals, SO the Austrians declare,
have commenced q systematic attack upon
Francis Joseph and his empire in all respects
like the general onslaught made Just before
the quarrel that led to the Sadowa campaign.
The Federal Parliament and the Zoll Parlia-
ment, devised by the craft of Bismarck,
were but features Of temporary arrange
ment. At the last session of the former
as many as two hundred and eight
members were missing, and the prospect for
another sitting is dim. At the recent Zoll
Parliament, although matters went off, as we
have intimated, smoothly enough, there was
a notable absence of representatives from the
South. In fine, it is felt that Prussia in
order to accomplish the majestic programme
which her master mind had sketched out for
her. must act with decision and act soon.
Thus we see her at work on all her coasts aud
on all her arsenals. Fortiications are pushed
forward with haste; iron-clad fleets are
equipped and sent forth to cruise in the Ger
man Ocean; officers are recalled from leave
of absence, and special drill reviews are con-
stantly held.
This peculiar activity has riveted the atten-
tion of France, but the latter is still enveloped
in the dust and smoke of the pleb5scitttn, and
before she can get time to interfere the Prus-
SLAMS may have made such move southwark
as to place the lower States of Germany at her
mercy. Then both her great neighbors would
be reduced to the necessity of acquiescence
or forced to make war-a contingency of ex-
treme risk to either of them at this moment.
At all events we again behold the astute-
ness of Count Bismarck, whose recent illness,
it will be seen, was no idle symptom, availing
itself of the perplexities of his rivals France
with the settlement of her new system to
complete, and Austria, harassed by the dis.
content of her Cisleithan provinces, will
hardly dare to check the great southwark
move which the Prussian chess-king is evi
IDENTIFY meditating. They are watchful and
uneasy, but he advances with caution as vel
as with steady intent, and leaves no step un
covered. The game as it stands is one o
profound interest to the eye of the statesman
for it, in high degree, affects the future o.
all Europe.
