The Beautiful Eastern Star.
Weary wandsrer DER the main,
Seeking for thy home again.
Through the gath'ring mists that rise.
Yelling tiny natal skies
Look beyond, there's light for thee,
Streaming DER the turbid sea;
Softly it smiles. though distant far,
The beautiful Eastern Star.
Stranger, on rocky strand,
Longing for thy fatherland,
Through.the gath'ring clouds that rise,
Yelling thy natal skies
Lock beyond, there's hope for thee.
Dawning DER the tranquil sea;

The beautiful Eastern Star.
Lonely watcher, pale with grief,
Thou shalt find a sweet relief;
Though thy tears unheeded fall,
Heaven will bless them all.
Look beyond, there's joy for thee,
Breaking DER troubled sea;
Softly it smiles, though distant far,

An ENCOUNTER WITH PRINCE ARTHUR
---Grace Greenwood tells the following
stsry:
An amusing anecdote Of . chance en-.
eeuuter with royalty 10 going about Just
now. While the Prince and party were
en- route from New York, a Western man
got on the train At Baltimore, on the juno
tion. and by mistake, made his way into
the special car, where he quietly took a
seat. Presently, seeiAg a nice young man
reading paper. with another lying at his
4 feet. he stepped up to the stranger. and
lacking old Jacks loyal instinct, thus &C.
sostea tho true Prince:
"Have you done with this paper, sir ?"
A stare OF astonishment was the only re
ply. Again he asks, raising his voice
"Hsve you done with tins paper. sir ?"
Again the same mnts, amazed repiy--a
steady Guelphic stare. 1t is highly proba-
bic his Highnsss had never before been ad-
dressed after the plain republican style. At
this point the indignant traveller broke
forth: n .
"Why, - and -" words which
] really cannot bring myself to write.
though l remember to have encountered
them in vsriOus lisious publications,
"caa't you say yes, or NOT"
"Wsll, yes, then" said the Prince.
which was good -natursd and sensible. but
drsadfully unprincsly.

FROM OUR OWN PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.
New York, 23rd August Is

New YORK, 2ord august lS(U
Dear Sir-"The war in Europe absorbs
all our attention, and one hears nothing
but French and PrusSians politics all dav
long. Our newspapers are almost all
PrusSian; including the Tribune, Times
Euening Post, &c, &c, and of course the
Herald, which always goes with the sue
cesstuI side. The W0rU is the fairest
paper published. 1t gives both sides and
in its impartiaIity shows that both the
beIIigerent powers are eyincing ImnenCe
resources ; thereby proving that it is not
so easy a matter, as a great many people
believe, to overrun a country like France
or to reach and take its Capital. The
fighting around the fortress of Metz dur
ING the past week has been terrific. 1t
ragged on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, We'd
neSday, Thursday and again on Saturday
morning a.! Such a conflict has been seen
only once since the battle of Leipsic in
'13; and that was around Richmond in
1865; but no doubt the number of deaths
at Metz has been in greater proportion
then either at Leipsic or Richmond. My
opinion is that France is only now wax.
ing up to the magnitude of the war, and
/ expect to see the PrusSians driven out
of the provinces of France before long.
To suppose the contrary would be to ig-
more the history of Europe for the past
century. We are now or shall be during
the week, expecting the news of a despe-
rate engagement near Chalons, between
the fresh army sent to that place from Pa
ris land now under command of McMa-
hon), and the Prussian army under the
Crown Prince. Mons UerrOnS! Paris is by
this time thoroughly fortified, and, &C
cording to Mr.. Theirs, it will take a mil
lion of men to invest it. 1t is defended
by the Garde Mobile and by a large force
of naval engineers sent from the various
naval stations and from the fleet so that,
as far as the taking Of the city of Paris
goes, we may rest satisfied it will not hap
pen for a long time,-if ever. There are
provisions in Paris to keep it several
months-not to speak Of the army at
Chalons which numbers 100000 men.
No doubt the French armies under Nc
Mahon and Bazaine have been badly bea-
ten at Woreth and Metz, but these armies
are not France and the whole catastrophe
to the French armies has arisen from the
fact that Louis Napoleon was not half
as prepared as the King of Prussia. He
acted too precipitately in the first part of
the campaign and did not appreciate the
immense strength Of the Prussians; but
