II is truly a source OF qualification 10
observe tho reduction in the price Of
goods among the merchants Of this city,
aud also TO recognize the probability Of
a further reduction TO the prevailing
prices before the war. Washington, in
this respect, has kept pace with her sis

OF houses, who still maintain the eTtor.

war gave them the power to demand. In
spite Of this, each day announces re
turn TO the standard figures that marked
merchandise in the specie days, and this
fact should be sufficient to give our mer.
chants the trade that in too many il.
stances finds its way into Northern
cities. There is no reason why this
should be SO. We have the same oppor.
tunity Of procuring variety and excel
hence in merchandise that is enjoyed
elsewhere, and the spirit Of enterprise
that dealers Of all kinds have shown in
their liberal return to reasonable rates
should be on inducement to our eitizens
10 keep in our limits brisk local trade.
CottOns, which more than most other
goods have kept an nscendanoy in price,,
are offered now ut figures that are in
every ones capacity, and imported
yoodS-many Of them our own mer.
chants importations-stand at the same
rates Of those sold in other cities. It lie
really gratifying to know this, as it
proves how well Washington, with all
the drawbacks Of a transient population,
and their tendency to depreciate its Ad-
yantages, may compare with cities
whose wealth is in part derived from
this fountain.heAd.
There Is no surCr way Of realizing whAt
we desire for orr own city than by I
spirit Of emulation and cooperation

With our resources by land and water
and the prospect Of new facilities Of con
nection North and South, we SHOULD
make Washington what it ough. to be

hope that this may be realized. The

THE unaceountable sympathy Of the
American Government with the Spanish
authorities in Cuba appears to have
made the latter crazy. They think
nothing Of "stampeding" American
eonsuls under threats Of assassination,
or OF laying violent hands upon Cuban
who are nAturalised citizens Of the
United States. Were it not for tho
kind Intervention Of British officials and
the protection afforded by British ships
OF war, the lives OF our people there
aould't be worth insuring. -NsW Pork

GasCouading.

A month ago, when the war was first
talked of in France, the prevailing belief
there was that the Prussians would never
have courage enough, to face French
army, or II they, did, Il would be only to
give Frenchmen an opportunity Of show
ing how soon they could dispose OF their
German would.be rivals. Subsequent
events have modified this belief, but some
amusing illustrations Of It have been re-
corded by army correspondents, of which
the following Is not the least 50, from the
pen of 1Ir. Edward Lockroy, who gives
an account Of his adventures near the
French lines. He was on, the point Of
starting from Metz Ipr the frontier, when,
at tbs gate Of the city, his. horse dropped
a shoe, ThereupOnh visttedthe nearest
blacksmith, and while the horse was being
shod the man: iTieCohnted his own expert
ence of war. AIr. Lockroy continues
thus: " At this moment everybody at Metz
has killed hif Ptussian. Yon cannot find q
single intiiyidual who win not say to you,
All! killed enough Of them, I can tell
you-4whcn I was young Ono might al
most imagine It was a local game3like
archery. The blacksmith's story was 10
the effect that on certain occasion he
was in drinking saloon at Saarlouis with
some Prussians. One OF these stepped up
to him and dropped IN old qufd In his
beer. Whereupon the blacksmith arose,
unlocked a sabre from the wall, and laid
about him with will. He struck one,
and then tile other, and then third. He
cuts one, clcaves another, kills two at a
blow, thrce-in short, dlsposes Of them
all. ,,.,.., .,,;..,,.. .,..,,.,.;..,,.r......
; iTavingy finished The business, the ire
mendous Frcnchman hangs the sabre
against tho wall, and goesn on his way.
Bhtlit SO happened thOt these PrusSlans
were soldiers, and their Colonel finding
that, none Of them returned, asked
his Iieuteiant, FWho killed my Prus-
sians for mes' Tho Lieutenant re.

The colonel complained, as well he might,
TO the French authorities: An inquiry

forward and said 10 his Judges Gentlemen,
If person were to put an old plug into
your soup ut dinner, what would you do?
The Prnssian colonel, who was q manly
fellow, cried, 4 would kill him 'Well,'
the blacksmith answered, % Prussian put
an old plug into my beGr, so ! killed oil
tho Prussians who were there And the
Judges, aftcr due deliberations! told the
blacksmith that he might go home. The
sold blacksmith must surely be q poor and
humble relation of the Marshal Of France,
whose moustachc would go twice around
tho body Of M. de Blsmarcksr The Mar
slial here alluded tots Marshal LeBGuf,
whose prodigious moustache and pompos;
ity arc favorite subjects with tho Paris
caricAturists.
