PETIGION md THE WAR.

II has been said-and there are many people
who believe it-that the present war is insti-
gated by desire on the part of France to
stay the spread of Professionalism. In other
words, that it is religious crusade of Catholic
France against Protestant Prussia. This is q
very absurd supposition. The large Catholic
element that exists in Prussia and throughout
Germany, and the influence, if not the num-
bers, of the Protestants in France, ought to
convince any one that in the present religious
aspect of Europe such a war is impossible.
In France, though a great majority OF the
people belong to the Church of Rome, it is
well known that many of the leading states
men and prominent persOnages of the Empire
are of the Protestant faith. The State, in its
'endOwments, knows no difference between the
two creeds. In Prussia, though the Royal
family of Prussia belong to the Reformed or
Calvinistc Church, all Christian denominations
enjoy the same privileges, and are equally
eligible to places of trust and emolument.
The Protestants are divided into two branches,
Iutherans and Calvinists, and comprise,
according to the census of 1867, more than
G5 per cent of the entire population, while the
Catholics amount to nearly 33 per cent, the
rest, dDOul Dtl Ntiit DtlhS bi'"N VIZ va '"'">'''
and other sects. However, in some portions of
the Prussan dominions the Catholics actually
predominate, and am ong these may be named
Posen, Westphalia, and the Rhenish Provinces.
Jews are to be found in all the provinces OF
Prussia, but principally in Posen; while mem
bers of the Greek Church and other sects are
scattered throughout the monarchy. The
Protestants form the greater part OF the popu-
lation of the provinces annexed in 1866; Han
over alone added IN Protestants and only
22G.OO9 Roman Catholics to the population.
Professionalism is gradually spreading among
the population, and Roman Catholicism de-
creasing. When Silesia was acquired by Prlls-
sia, in 1863, its population was mainly Catholic;
but now, out of its three provinces, in the two
most important the majority of the population
is Protestant In the religious statistics OF 1862
ii was shown that the Protestant element III
the army at that time amounted to 1S4767
men, while the Catholic comprised 82,3i5, to
which were added 1873 Jews and n of other
creeds The great mass of the populations of
the other States which are included in the
North German Confederation is Protestant
next to Prussia Oldenburg being the only State
in which there is any considerable proportion
of Catholics According to the enumerations of
1866 and 1867, the inhabitants of North and

LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS.

ADvANcED.-Messr Jas. III. Foster
& Co. paid last week, we are informed,
ffty-seven and half cents per bushel
to various parties for wheat-an advance
of seven and half cents over previous
prices. This advance is supposed to have
been caused by advices of an advance in
fornia markets. This will be good news
to those of our farmers who have been
"holding on for better prices. What
the chances for still further advance in
prices are, we are unprepared to state at
present. Further advices may be ex-
pected before the close Of the week.

STILL AT WoRK.-The cars are still
running on Ben. Holladay's road, carry
ing ties, rails, etc., to the end of the
track, to be used as soon as spring opens
in continuing the road towards Salem.
The mills arr running with full force,
employed saving ties, and at various
points between the present terminus of
the road and Salem, parties are engaged
in getting out timbers with which to con-
struct the various bridges to be erected
next season. Work will be SO far ad-
vanced by the opening of spring, that
the laying of the track to Salem will be
matter of but few weeks. Every
thing indicates the intention of Holladay
to put the road through at rapid rate
the coming season, and if the cars are
not running to Albany before January
next, we shall miss our guess.

A HIGH OLD DIvoRcE.-A cores

Justice prospected for cat, and soon
caught one. Giving John hold of the
feline's tail, and Jane hold of the lead,
he seized a sharp axe and directed them
to "pull apart" They pulled; "till
death do you part" exclaimed the
Justice. and down came the axe, sever
ing poor Tommy in the middle, and the
divorce was accomplished. Cats are
sacred to wrangling couples evermore

A boy in San Francisco recently sat
down on leaky can of nitro glycerine,
contrary to his mothers express orders
The lady placed the youngster on her
knee for the express purpose OF spanking
him. but at the first blow frightful ex-
plosion took place, whereby the woman,
her ill.fated son, and her house were
shattered to atoms. How long will it be
before Government takes effective meas

of so dreadful compound.

Things Wise and Otherwise.

MR.. NOBODY.
know funny little man,
As Quiet as mouse,
Who does the mischief that is done
In every body's house.
There's no one ever sees his face,
And We all agree
That every plate we break was cracked
By Mr.. No-bod-ee.
IT'S he who always tears our books
Who leave our doors ajar:
He pulls the buttons from our shirts,
And scatters pins afar.
That squeaking door will always squeak,
For, prithee, don't you see,
We leave the oiling to be done
ByNr. No-bod-ee.
The finger marks upon the doors
By none of US were made
We never leave the blinds unclosed
To let the curtains fade;
The ink we never spill the boots
That lying round you see,
Are not our boots they all belong
To Mr.. No-bod-ee. z~-.---
FULFILLING THE LAW
Let each one strive with all his might
To be q decent man,
And love his brother as himself
Upon the golden plan;
And if his neighbor chance to be
A pretty female wom,n,
Why love her all the more-you see
'Tis only acting human.

Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte, cousin of the
Emperor, shot and killed Victor Noire !;
he also wounded Ulrich de Fourville.
The Minister of Justice ordered the ar

lice. His version only is allowed to be
published. 1t is in substance that Noire
slapped his face, whereupon he shot him
dead That Fourville then took refuge
behind chair and attempted to shoot,
and in that position the prince shot him.
The city is greatly excited. The trial
will be held before the Corps Legislatif,
sitting as high court Of justice.
Henri Rochefort, in the Marsellaise,

Next day the paper was worse, and the
office has been taken charge of by the
police.
In the Corps Legislatif it was pro-
posed to render the Imperial family
amenable to law. Rochefort said the
people could judge the murderer, and
even though he was cousin to the EN-
peror, he must not 60 unpunished. Oil
yer, in reply, said he should have justice.

rest of Rochefort for an outrage against
the Emperor in exciting violence. Re-
