.M.s,ieurs: The manner in which the country
received our declaration Of the, 9th Of July led
us to commence negotiations with Prussia to BE-
cure her recognition Of the validity Of our
grievances. We did not treat with Spain whose
Independence We have no wish TO tranimel, nor
with the Prince Of HohenItller whom we con-
slider TO be under the shadow OF the King, nor
have we advanced any other grievance than the
candidacy OF the Prince for the Spanish throne.
The Prussian Minister Of Foreign Affairs op.
posed to us determination not to receive our
representation, pretending TO ignore the affair!
We then addressed ourselves to the King, who
maintained that he was stranger TO the affair,
and that he could not intervene except as the
head Of the family. but he answered that he
had instructed bismarck. We could not accept
that answer, We demanded that the King
should influence the Prince OF lIobenlollern.
Resistance In the project came from the quarter
where II was least expected. We then demanded
that the King sheuld give . promise for the
future This moderate demand, made In mod
crate terms. we declared to DO without any res
ervstion. The King declined to say that he
would refuse In future TO interfere with the can
didature, and he refused to authorize us to TRIMS.
init to you the declaration that he would in fu-
ture oppose the csndidsture. He declared that
he reserved to himself the right TO consider the
circumstances. Even after this refusal We did
not break of the negotiations, but adjourned
our explanations to you until this date. Yester-
day we were appriIel that the King Of Prussia
had notified our Ambassador that be would not
longer receive him. and 10 render the rupture
more obvious he gave notice q his action to tho
Cabinets Of Europe. At the same time he as
sumei that Y either might take his leave, and
that the armament Of Prussia had commenced.
On our part, We yesterday called out the re-
serves, and We have taken such other measures
as the Interest and honor Of the country do
manded. LII ~ tun .lilrlL---LL m -lL.L.

Americ IN Siang0graphy,
From London Punch.

FROM hOHuOO HunCn.
People who have any reverence for sttne
pure well of English undefiled" must Wish
that the Americans would have left that
well alone, and not defile it with such hid-
eous corruptions as the following:
One of the papers lately, instead of re-
cording that the President had gone on an
excursion, simply announced that ne had
''excurted." The other day we read that
the Erie was ''injuncted." A paragraph in
an evening paper was headed thus: "a Wo-
man Burgled Nine Times in Ten Years
Fancy the diSmay of dear old Dr. John
son ut reading such uncouth phraseolog,
as thisl Imagine him devourine Yankee
newspapers for breakfast! With how many
cup of tea could he gulp down, without
choking, their grammerless contentsi !
And when afterwards discussing them in
critical cold blood, with what rotundity of
phrase would he give vent to his just wrath.
Conceive TIE Great photographer admit
ting to his Dictionary such exercises 8s
"Burgle, verb active. To break into dwell
ling house, or "Excurt verb, neuter, To
go upon journey" What groans and
grunts, and snorts of furious indignation
he would forcibly emit on meeting with a
sample of new English such as this:
We have interviewed the cuss who quill
ed our yesterdays editorial, and III this
connection we may big-type our assurance
that the news which had been wired 20 us
was regular reliable, as our reporters are
lRjuncted from letting slide our reputation
by telegramming fbs.
Assuredly, if speech be silver, men who
coin such phrases, which indeed should
never become current, ought to be indicted
for utterlng false money. AS set-off to
their claim for Alabama compensation, our
Yankee friends shonld pay us for the in
juries inflicted on the English language by
lantIc press.

An EXTRAORDINARY Slander Snjt.

Miss Della W. Moore, formerly a teacher
IN one Of the primary schools in New York,
brought suit before the Superior Court in
that city, on Thursday, against one John
H. Bornell, young man, laying her dam
ages at SO, 900. She charges that, in JAN
uary, 1863 Bonnell circulated report that
he was married to her. and that they had
lived together. When apprised of this Miss
Moore at once sent for Bonnell, who declar-
ed that he was sorry for what he had said,
and voluntarily made an affidavit before a
notary that he was not married to her, and
that his previous remarks were untrue. She
then forgave him and let the matter drop.
Soon after, the SANDER, as Miss Moore calls
1t, was repeated, and when it came to the
ears of the principal of her school she was
forced to resign her position, which was
worth S7O0 or $500 a year. Mr.. Bonnell,
IN defense, produces the records of st.
PauPs Methodist Episcopal Church of New
York, upon which it is shown that he was
married to the plaintiff by the late DR..
McClintock, November 26, 1854 He stat es
that last January he made the remarks in
question when informed that Miss Moore
was about to be married, and he contends
that he did not exceed his lawful rights as q
husband, even if he used the obnoxious
words he is accused of. There is evidently
some mistake here. Just where it exists
the trial of the case may make plain, but at
present more distressing tangle was never
brought before court for abjugation

HeW the Human VeEOcipede was Treated
at IrViAgtOn, n. j.
From fIa pa+to

In olden times, before Maine laws were
invented, Hail kept the hotel at Irvington,
n. J., and furnished accommodations 10
man and beast. He was a good landlord
but terribly deaf. The village painter was
afflicted in the same way. One day they
we're sitting by themselves in the bar-room.
Hall was sitting bel ind the counter waiting
Tor the next customer, while the village
paint gas lounging before the fire with q
thirsty look, casting sleeps eyes occasion
ally at Halls decanters, and wishing most
devoutly tnat some one would come in and
treat. Weston, the walkist, on his way to
Brandon, stepped intoinquire the distance.
Can you tell me, sir, how far it is to
Brandon p
'Brandy." says the ready landlord, jump
ing up; ''yes, sir, [ have some," at the
same time handing down a decanter of the
precious liquor.
''You misunderstood me-, says the walk
ist; 81 asked how far it was to Brandon. "
They call it pretty good brandy" says
Hall. ''Wl1 you take sugar with it p
reaching as ne spoke for the bowl and tod
dy-stick.
The despairing traveller turned to the vii
lage painter. "The landlord" said he,
appears to be deaf. Will you tell me how
far it is to Brandon ?"
Thank you," said the painter, Il don't
care if l do take drink with you"
The walkist treated and fed.

A Philadelphia Vessel the Oldest Afioat.

The Truelove is the name of the oldest
vessel now afoat. She was built in Phila-
delphia in 1854, and is consequently one
hundred and six years cold. The vessel
was built originally for the merchant trade
but during the Revolution was used as a
privateer. She was captured by British
war vessel in $780, and was purchased from
the British government by perties in Hull,
England, from which port she now halls.
She was employed in the wine trade be-
tween Oporto and Hull until 1884. when
she was employed in whaling. AS a whaler
she was exposed to many vicissitudes
The Truelove, in 1880, formed part of a
feet In Melville Bay, when twenty strong
vessels were lost and twelve others
were seriously injured by the ice. This
vessel, on account of her peculiar build,
was able to stand the ice much better than
some other and stronger ones. When ex-
| posed to heavy squeeze between large
masses of ice she would be raised to the
surface, where she would remain until the
pressure was relieved, when she would
again sink into the wafer. On one occa-
