FRANoE AND PRUSSIA.

France, q warlike nation. has got
tired of peace, and wants to get a little
glory. Prussia, since 1866. has in
creased her population by owe $780,
OOO, and her area by $4,000 English
squares miles. She has done this by
main force, brutality, and aggression.
She has plundered Denmark of two
duchies, has taken possession of Han
over without the shadow Of a preteSt,
has robbed sundry granddukes,
graves, landgrayes, and electors Of
their territory, and, pouncing down on
the free city of Frankfort, impudently
took possession Of It. France, notwith-
standing over twenty years talk about
Napoleon's ambition, has only added
10 her territory In Europe the nearly
barren hills of Savoy, and the pretty
watering-place called Nice. Men are
beginning to open their eyes and ears
and perceive that it Is not France, but
Prussia, which Is the aggressor-
Prussia, which suddenly attacked Aus
tria In 1866, and, BY means Of the
needle gun, gave her a terrible
beating. Perhaps Austria and
France may fight side by side. 1t Is
doubted whether North Germany will
side with Prussia. But, at a push.
Bismarck could hold out such induce
ments as would probably make Russia
assist Prussia. 1t does not much mat
ter what Italy and Spain, both nearly
bankrupt, may do, and England will
put up with a great deal ere she again
gets entangled in Continental
The tocsin Of war has been sounded,
and France and Prussia are preparing
to decide the difficulties which have
for years existed between them. The
war news will be the all-absorbing
tonic for some time.

THE "MoNIroR" on THE PRorosED
MAssAcRE.-The San Francisco Monitor
speaks thus about the public meeting
which proposed to get up a Chinese
massacre:
We feel bound, while dealing with
the meeting, to condemn and protest
against the infiammatory harangues
INDUCED in by some Of the orators.
The hints about drilling and arming
and having resort to physical force to
get rid of the Chinese were too open
and undisguised to be passed BY with
out notice. We tell the fiery tribunes
who used such language that they are
engaged in bad work, and that the
consequences of their evil teachings
may one day recoil terribly on their
own heads. We trust that not a single
citizen will be duped by such false
guides, or led away so far as to engage
In outrages Of any kind.

moral support which is the most valuable
thing she would get from q proclamation of
recognition.
This, then, is not very practical friendship
for Cuba, to present a measure that If car
ried does her no good, and if lost does her
incalculable moral harm. And why is friend
ship limited to this? Mr.. Banks no doubt Is
sincere, if not practical, in his advocacy of
the Cuban cause; but that sincerity did not
carry him to the length of proposing that We
should assume an attitude Of even unfriendli-
ness TO foreign Power on account of Cuba.
If, with his instincts of universal philan-
thropy and his tenderness for ilibustering
that is an Inheritance of his ancient Demo
cracy, he could propose so little, how much
less might we expect from q government
that feels full and honest responsibility
for the discharge of its duties to the nation
The fact is the attitude taken by the admin
istration Is the only one possible for an hon
est, practical government; and though it op
poses boldly popular sentiment in favor of
the name of freedom, it must eventually secure
the full support of the national common sense.
We not only cannot afford war for the sake of
Cuba, but we cannot afford the very shadow of
war, mol the note of preparation. Our first
duty is to ourselves and our creditors; and to
be just we must keep the peace. We are
building mp, after our great struggle, with
uDparaHeleu energy ana rapldlty, apu why
shall we stop this progress? Is the chance
that we may make Cuba what Mexico is
sufficient motive? Certainly not. Consider
the consequences of embroiling ourselves in
the quarrels of the Cnbans- Immediate inter-
ruption Of the payment of the debt, imme-
diate decrease in the price Of the bonds,
financial confusion, new lease of life for all
tax laws, the cessation of the vast emigration
that is pouring in upon u.s. These are but
the more Immediately obvious of train of
evils. Let the people only weigh all this
against the mere sentiment and rhetoric on
the other side, and they will see how clearly
and practically Grant is in the right. Un-
fortunately, however, our sympathies are too
apt to run away with our practical ideas, and
it is highly probable that the clear common
sense of the President will be overslaughed
entirely by the sentimentality of such dashing
leaders in the House as Logan and Banks.

over2" ''Take il home," said the under
taker; 1--WE generally put in enough to make
shirt" Not being in want of a shirt, we
we're rather struck by the ridiculous aspect of
the whole custom, when illustrated by the
frank avowal of the undertaken that here
was an expenditure in linen sufficient, multi
piled by the number of pall-bearers, to make
six or eight of those useful articles of wearing
apparel.
Some of the hearses, too, of New York are
almost as bad as those of London. We re-
member seeing an Irish funeral once of
some twenty carriages, waiting for ferry
boat at the foot of Thirty-fourth street.
The deceased lay Gin his cefin of course)
within hearse that might have gratiied
Spotted Tail, if he could be assured that he
would be borne in so gorgeous vehicle to
the place where he is to start for the celes-
tial hunting grounds, when he has laid
down his earthly rifle. The driver of this
sumptuous affair, however, was dirty Irish
man, dressed in a shabby linen blouse; and,
as the day was hot and the delay tedious,
he descended FROM his box and went into a
corner grocery to get drink. Counting
the number of carriages, and making an esti-
mate of the total, we came to the conclu-
sion that the expense of burying Pat on
that occasion, including the hearse, was not
less than two hundred dollars. The rich
and fashionable might do something to dis
countenance such expenses, and it is time they
had done it.
