Since the Saarbruck affair "Louis and L"
have displayed chronic disposition to appear
ridiculous upon the slightest provocation.
When the advance of the Crown Prince Of
Saxony was demonstrated near Sedan, Louis
was hastily sent away to Mezeres, and not
thinking him safe there he was carried still
further north, to Avesnes, where, it is to be
hoped. he feels secure. The father boldly re-
NAMED at Sedan but no sooner was Mac
Mahon defeated at Beaumont than his fit came
on again, and he is now reported dangerously
ill at that place.
Every American will laugh at the story
which terrified Paris on Tuesday with the
announcement that number of German
pirates had sailed from American ports. We
can appreciate the absurdity of this statement,
knowing how impossible it is that it could be
true. Paris is agitated daily with hundreds of
stories as ridiculous, which cannot be so readily
exploded.
There is little need for the Germans to be
nervous over the activity of the neutral
powers in the matter of intervention in the
war and the resolutions of the Berlin bankers
and the appearance of Bismarck at the Prus-
sian capital to counteract these movements
were unnecessary. While every success of the
Germans makes the neutral powers all the
more eager to interfere, it renders them also
all the more pOwerless to do So As long as
Germans are victorious the neutral states
will have no opportunity for intervening
and patching up peace which would
save the NapoeOnic dynasty. If the French
are vouchsafed great victory, there may be
to- f,,l .y,far INF
not one of the continental States dares offer
or suggest armed interference. The peace will
be dictated by Germany-it will put an end to
the disturbing element which has misrlled
France and disquieted Europe for these
twenty years past, and it will secure United
Germany from outside interference.
If the reported withdrawal of the Prince
Imperial in search of place of safety to
Avesnes, after being hurried back from Sedan
to M6zieres, be correct, the noble infant may
once again be in the advance of the French
army, since this is likely to be their only line
of retreat. Upon advancing about twenty
miles further in this direction he will, how
ever have great advantage over them.
At Valenciennes he has three pathways open
to him: to Paris, to Brussels, OF to London
via Calais. But one Of these destinations can
serve the remains of MacMahon's army. Lead
ing up the infant and his sick father so close
along the frontier has. all along had suspi-
cious appearance, as though it might be con-
venient in case of need to drop them over the
fence, out of harms way; but to add to this the
convenience for flight of proximity to a sea-
coast, must be regarded as prudential STRAIT
egg bearing more hope of success than that
which has been vouchsafed to the army.
There may be those who are wicked enough
even to suppose that the army was sacrificed
to save Napoleon; whether III. or w.,
few hours will probably determine.

,.,,.,os. explain its strategy and tactics
All that We are now assured of is that by this
,os.a, MacMahon is placed in the narrow dis
.r;ot between the Mouse and the Belgian
border. which cannot subsist his army. In his
front are two armies of greatly superior force,
still separated, it is true, by the River Meuse,
but no longer by great distances and difficult
marches, and moving by converging routes
upon his position.
The victory is not by any means decisive of
the campaign against MacMahon. The King
intimates as much in his dispatch By the an
nouncenent that he is pushing on in pursuit.
That another and far InOre serious battle must
shortly ensue before the power If MacMahon
is broken seems certain. It's result we do not
for moment doubt. MacMahon is incapable
of sustaining fight with the Crown Prince
and the Allied army under the Prince Royal
of SaxOny. He may be able to retreat, and
by pursuing a Fabian policy may greatly re-
tard the advance of the Prussians, and thus
prolong the war; but in pitched battle he
cannot but go down before the superior num-
bers and training of the Germans. Whether
MacMahon will now wisely abandon bis effort
to aid Bazaine, and attempt TO save himself
by a rapid retreat toward the north, ms
to be seen. Whether he can do so is also o.
present extremely doubtful. since to effect a
retreat to the north-west-the only route open
to him, unless he passes over into Belgium
he must cross the Meuse at M6zieres. And the
passage of such stream in the face of an
enemy as daring as the Prussians is no easy
task, as Bazane could tell MacAlahon, if their
communications were indeed open, as the Paris
papers say.

The rumored complications between England
and Prussia will never prove of a serious
character. England will of course apologize
for her conduct in reply to the note in which
Prussia charges her with the violation of
her neutrality, and intimates that the
bubbles of the law officers of the Crown will
not be taken in extenuation of her offense.
The announcement of this disagreement is
brief and unsatisfactory, and the full text of
the Prussian note, as well as Englands re-
sponsc will be looked f Il with eagerness.

Comments by The Tribune.
There are some who demur to our frequent
circumstances against the faulty which keeps
our cities ever Overcrowded, with snch results
az are chronicled above. Our country's pOpu-
lation has increased about thirty per cent.
since 1850, yet we are confident that the in
habitants of its cities and their suburbs have
meantime been nearly or quite doubled. And
the tendency thus evinced to live by something
else than bona Jfde productive labor, and at all
events to avoid the farmers calling, is to-day
as strong and active as ever.
Every one has right to live in some city who
can do so without taxing others. No man has
a moral right to abandon locality wherein he
was sure of useful work and honest bread for

public burden. We urge no man to shun or
leave a city wherein he has moral certainty
of useful employment at which he can earn
honest bread But for the youth who tells us,

"tiOn-have spent four to six months in ardu-
sous, fruitless inquiry-spent all | had, run

der time and money! Why has he never been
taught that months fruitless inquiry should
have convinced him that he was not wanted
here, and that his i'll success was Divine adj
monition to go where men are scarce, not
stay where they are mott In short, why have
the Pulpit and the Press so grossly shirked
their duty with regard to this insane rush
to the cities, whereof the CHASTITY results are

Every time Labor Convention" is held
anywhere somebody gets up end says that
Capital cannot be created wit ut Labor, and
everybody says amen" ard denounces
Capital as q Despot and Swindler. This sort
of thing was repeated at Labor Meeting In
Cincinnati the other night. A person by the
name of Trevellck said: 1T would not be
"denied that Capital was created by Labor,
"and ought Labor to bow to its own crea-
"ture,r &C., &c. Now the vice of this sort OF
sophstry is that, although Capital partly
comes of Labor, the proposition utterly ig-
nores the Labor of the Capitalist, his energy,
thrift, prudence, business talent. After he
has toiIed, planned, executed, and given en-
ployment to thousands, and always at con-
siderable risk of his own means, and has thus
acquired fortune, he is told that he is
thief and a plundeIer, and that he has grown
rich upon the sweat of others. Mr.. Wendell
Phillips is pet pro tempore, of the Labor"
party in Massachusetts. Mr.. Phillips is re-
puted to be man of fortune. How did he
get itf He certainly has not tOiled with his
hands for 81 80 per diem. He has not be-
come, in some sort, Capitalist by working at
his trade of carpenter, or blacksmith, or
cooper, or wheelwright, or wright of any
other description. He has not made the
money even by the exercise of his great in
tellectual gifts, but he has got it. Suppose
delegation should knock at his door some fine
morning and request him to divide What a
lovely speech he would deliver to show them
that they were prefeIring quite an uncon-
sciOnable demand

RECOLLECTIONS OF JOHN MURRAT Y.
In late number of the Gospel Banner,
Isaac Wheeler Of Amherst, known as Father
Wheeler, who died recently at the age of 81,
was spoken of as having been the last man
living who had seen and heard the Rev. John
Murray. In the Springfield Republican he is
alluded to in the same way This is a mis-
take.
AS Mr.. Murray is held in reverence by a
large sect in this country, as the first promul-
gator of their peculiar doctrines here. it may
not be uninteresting to state, that my father,
Nathan Weston, heard him preach in Boston
frequently. This was at various times when
my father was in Boston, between fifteen and
twenty-three years Of age, and staying at the
house of Mr.. John Filebrown, brother of
the late Col. Thomas Fillebrown. He was
also introduced to him when he was calling
upon Mr.. Fillebrown, who was one of his
parishioners and he remembers Mr. Murray's
saying very impressvely, during that visit,
80, that men were wise, that they understood
this, that they would consider their latter
end!' He also saw him at the Grand Lodge,
where he was treated with great attention.
He has lively recollection of him, and says
his person now presents itself to his magma
ton as strongly as that of any one he ever
knew; and that he was a man to be remem-
bered My father at first recalled him to his
mind as one not so old as he finds he must
have been at the period when he saw him :;
and he accounts for this by saying, that his
appearance indicated great vigor, in conse-
quence of which he seemed younger than he
was He further describes him as eloquent,
and preaching without notes in strong pow
erful voice. l.. M. DAVIDSON.

Meria thanked him for his kindness to
her in Welding his own seat, and offered
him fifteen purses of the Jews money.
The Cadi refused, and gave her one
more purse. She kissed the flap of his
coat. thanked him, left the tribunal and
returned home before Omer, who had

the brow of his skillful spouse. Seeing
how wise she was, he loved her three
times more than before; he listened tc
her good advice, attended closely to his
business, and acquired great riches.
