DUMAS ON WoMAN's LAUGHTER.

DUMAS ON WoMAN's LAUGHTER.--
Alexandre Dumas ills is at variance, in
his much-talked-ot preface to L'1mttles
Femntes, with the poets of ancient and
modern times. The Greeks who had,
such keen sense ofthc beautiful, quail
fed Venus the 'laughter-loving:
Shakespeare was very fond of sprightly
heroines, whose sallies provok ed laughter.
Moore immortalizes the feminine laugh.
in his exquisite sketch of an Irish girl,
to whom he was pleased to give the
Asiatic name of Nourmahal. Balzac
(who can hardly be called poet) was
very fond Of "a silvery laugh" and used
to say that none but thoroughbred gentle
women had right to weep, because they
alone weep without disiiguring them
selves. Now, hear what NJ. Dumas has
to say on tho other side:
If comedy has been so long in disfavor
it is because women do not like it. And
why do they dislike it, Because in
ruses, the tricks, the malIces, and the
graccs Of the fair. This does not satisfy
womens ambition. II smacks of the
feints in fencing school, The conquer
or neither sees the blood nor hears the
groans of the conquered Woman
delights in the real hand to-hand fight
with the other sex which is the soul of
tragedy. She wants publicly to prove
that she has the power to subjugate her
adversary, to make him bite the dust,
to kill him. She wants to see him
down, ard to tear his heart out unless he
sue humbly for mercy, and confess her
as the sovereign Of the universe, or
acknowledges himself wretched fool
for having misunderstood and insulted
her so long But there is another rea-
son why women do not like comedy.
No woman wishes to laugh III public.
A laugh dcpoctizes her and comforts her
visagc. There is frankness in hearty
laugh, which jars with her diplomatic
genius. A woman throws away her
best arm when she laughs. The tear
is what she triumphs in. A humid eye
is always interesting, whereas an open
mouth never is. 1t is simply an abomi-
nation Smile ifyou will, lovely woman,
but never laugh. For twenty actresses
who can draw tears, there is hardly one
who can excite to laughter. The laughter
Of an actress is seldom communicative
because it is a surface thing 1t is at
war with the female organization. A
comical woman does not really belong to
her sex, and other women dislike her.
Nevertheless, glory to the laughter-loving
female who is not SO much bearded
man incognito as an excellent, compan-
! ionable garcon.

The Grass Valley Union thinks that
the only way out of the Chinese immi-
grafton difficulty, is to restore States
rights Gas understood before the war"
We hardly think that the country is quite
ready to abandon the principle that was
settled at the cost of so much mony and
treasure, nor that the return to the
exploded theory of States rights is nee
essary to settle the Chinese question.
Ifthc Democracy will work as earnestly
to prevent Chinese immigration as its
representatives in the United Staes did
to defeat the anti Chinese bills introduc-
ed in that body, we shall have a united
people laboring to one end and purpose.

way to Corsica. From London come extremely
dubious reports of the fight of the Empress for
England by way of Belgium, coupled with the
belief that the Emperor is also seeking safety by
the same route. With more plausible show of
truth there is report that Napoleon has eX-
pressed through Lord Lyons, the English AM
bassador at Paris, readiness to treat for peace,
to which the King of Prussia has made answer
that he can only sue for peace by first asking
for an armistice in the usual way.
A Plausible Summary of the Recent Meve-
The New York Tribune of this morning says
The remnant OF MacMahon's Corps which escaped
from the Vosges Mountains after the battle OF Ha-
guenau retreated to Luneville, Nancy. .Commercy,
and thence il is inferred fell back towards Chalons
liam, with the army OF the South ON the 14th inst.
the advance guard Of this Prussian army had reached
Blesme 2S miles by railway from Chalons. On
the same day, the right wing OF the Prussians,
known as the Army Of the Saar, under General
Won SteinmetZ appeared before the eastern walls OF
outer works of BellecroX The French army under
BaZaine evacuated Metz on the same night. On the
18th, IL encountered the centre OF the PruSsianS,
which had crossed the Moselle between Metz and
Nancy, and had endeavoTed to seize the road be-
tween Metz and verdun hy which Ba-
possession of this road that the several engagements
OF Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were fought.
The battle OF Monday was under the western walls
Of Metz; that of Tuesday was at Gravelotte, four
miles west Of Metz that on the 11th instant was at
Mars Tour, six miles from Metz. From present

like; that between the Covenanter and the Gas
con there is in battle nothing to choose, and in
campaigning very little, the popular English
idea of French want of persistence being de-
lusion entirely unwarranted by recent history.
The Peninsular war showed Frenchmeu to be
persistent in the extreme ready, when beaten
and with nothing to eat, to fight again at any
moment. The only spiritual difference between
the men is in the matter of confidence, which
has sometimes a considerable effect in its way.
The soldier who has convinced himself that he
is well led will obey orders which, If he were
dstrustful, would daunt-will, for instance,
obey orders to retreat without thinking that ali
is over. The soldier, on the other hand, who
doubts his chief, loses heart under disaster, and
once in retreat begins to think of himself
Now, the Frenchman, though in the abstract
confident in the French army, has not yet ac-
quired full confidence in the French generals
doubts greatly about the Emperor and has not
made up his mind that any one general is be-
yond the possibility of making blunder The
Prussian on the contrary believes on the evil
dence of the Austrian war, that he is guided by
a man of surprising genius, whose orders
whatever their apparent effect, are sure sooner
or later to result in victory. 1t is q singular
proof of the extent of this feeling that the
Prussian generals have not feared to let the first
success of the war accrue to their adversaries-
have not been averse, as French generals would
have been averse, to announce to their troops
that the first engagement resulted only in a
Prussian retreat. This kind of confidence is of
serious value; and taking the spirit of the two
soldiers to ibe normally equal, we should saw
that the Prussians was in this war little higher.
Other things being equal, therefore, we should
assume slight balance of probability in favor
of German succesg.

Since 1858 he has been continually engaged in a

THE TEST.
The French Army Cut In Two, and the Road
TO Paris Open.

The French Army Gut In Two, and the Road
TO Paris Open.
Cable kilograms published under our second
edition head state that the London Times of
this morning, in its review of the situation, de-
clares that "the road to Paris is open to the
Crown Prince, who may leave Prince Frederick
Charles to watch Marshal Bazaine." The Times
also has a special despatch from Berlin, declar
ing that the result of the last encounters has
been to cut the French army in two the main
body being forced back on Metz, where it has
been brought to stand by the armies of Prince
Frederick Charles and General Won Steimetz.
The road to Chalons and thence to Paris is
thus thrown open to the Crown Prince, and the
decisive event is impending.
Still later dispatches announce thatthe Crown
Prince, at the head OF three army corps, is on
the march to attack the raw levies of Trochu
at Chalons.

WHICH is SUPERIOR!
The Comparative Fighting Qualities of the
French and Prussian soldiers.


The London Economist, the standard financial
journal of Europe, in an article on the COM
parative lighting qualities of the French and
Prussian soldiers, before the recent battles,
said:-
Upon the whole, it is certain that the Prus-
sian soldier is a very much better fighter than he
was at jena. and it is probable that he is better
one than the Frenchman. There remains the
comparative spirit of the men TO be considered
and here again Englishmen are very liable to
error. They understand and sympathize with
the German spirit. They do not understand or
sympathize with the French spirit. They tend
to believe that the quiet, grave man who is i'm
pressed by proclamations which assume that
the King is under the special protection of
heaven, must have higher spirit than the noisy
fanfaronading person who ridicules such pro-
clamations, who is moved mainly by
love of GLORY" and who inserts
even into his most military songs
hints of his own irresistible attractions
for all women. Unfortunately, nothing is more
certain than that spirit OF the type dislike is
