Napoleon, it is said, proposes an alliance
between France and Germany-the dismant-
ling of the Rhine fortresses and indemnityto
Germany. He thinks on the whole, that the
two nations can better afford to be at peace
than at war. Why did he not consider this
when the nations were at peace. Why did
he plunge them into warf The evils of
war to the two nations were as evident be-
fore he took up the sword as now. If be
speaks as reported he is self-convicted OF
the greatest of crimes. .,-

The only deplorable circumstance in the
downfall of Napoleon is the distress into
which his poor wife, Eugene, is plunged
by her husbands folly. A brave and true
woman, she deserved a worthier husband
and better fate. Her advice to him in the
beginning of the war, as it is discovered in
an intercepted despatch, breathes wisdom
of the protoundest character. Had the EN-.
peror taken that counsel the Empire might
not now be thing of the past.

ELSEWHERE, in this paper, will be
found an article headed Municipal
aid to Railroads" which gives a
synopsis of the provisions Of a bill
introduced by Mr.. Griffith, author
izing counties to build railroads,
which we commend to careful read
5ng. We regard it as a wise measure,
calculated to awaken and carry for
ward enterprises that will develope
the resources ofour State better and
benefit our people more. than any
public measure that has yet been ad-
opted. In all communities there are
4 few men who are enterprising and
do all they can to foster, and en-
courage, and build up their commu-
mites, but who unfortunately stand
almost alone. Some viii not do who
might, and others cannot who would,
and so opportunities for beneftting
community are lost, unless the en-
terprising, busting, active men, do
all. In our own community this
fact is known and understood, and
such a law as the proposed measure.
would be appreciated. It would
subserve tue purpose Of benefitting
the public at large, by equitable tax
ing all TO carry forward improve
ments of a general character. We
trust it may become a Law.

Selling the West Point Appointments.
The New York Sun tells the fol-
lowing story:
six year ago Mr., Boutwell,, then
a member of Congress of Massachu-
sets, forwardedto the War Depart
ment a letter which he had received
offering him one thousand dollars
for an appointment to West point,
then in his gift. Afterward, when
the list Of the young men who had
been admitted to the Military Acad-
emy was sent to the War Depart
ment, the name of the person who
had made the offer to Mr.. Boutwell,,
was among them. He had been ap-
pointed by amember of the House
Of Representatives from Michigan.
Inquiry was made, and it was proved
that the cadet was the author of the
letter to Mr.. Boutwell, offering the
thousand dollars; and ihereupon Mr.
Stanton premptorily dismissed him,
and called upon the gentleman, from
Michigan for an explanation. Of
course he affirmed that he had re-
ceived no pecmiary consideration
for the appointment, and there was
no evidence that he had The Young

ject is to calm the mind and give
wholesome lessons in moral recti-
tude. Ifno religious test is reQuir-

1t isnot claimed that they have

his origin, he may be referred to
geology, but not to Genesis If one
asks why the Sabbath is observed,
the teacher must ask permission of
the Board of Education before the
