NEUTRAL PROPERTY AT SEA.

A RECENT letter of Baron Gerolt, the Prussian
Minister, to the American Secretary of State,
Hamilton Fish, announces, by authority, that
private property on the high seas will be ex-
empt from seizure by the Prussian ships,
without regard to reciprocity. This is the
American doctrine on this subject, and we
hope it will eventually be adopted by all
civilized countries. We know of no good
reason why private property on the ocean
should be more subject to capture and de-
struction in time of war than private pro-
perty on land, and the better Judgment of all
advanced nations now forbids invading armies
from playing the part of robbers and ma
rauders. The treaty of Paris formed in 1856
contained some benefcent provisions, but it
did not go far enough, and it was grossly IN
fair to this country. If it had laid down the
broad doctrine that all private property ex-
cept articles contraband of war should be
exempted from seizure by public armed
vessels, our Government would nave gladly
acquiesced in it, but it claimed for the regu-
lar navies of the contracting parties certain
rights to examine and seize cargoes which
we're denied to privateers, and thus jeopar-
died American interests in the event of war
between the United States and a naval
power like Great Britain or France. Our
own navy is at all times comparatively small,
and our regular ships of war would be too
busily occupied in defending our coast to
inflict serious damage on foreign merchant
vessels, while the British and French navies
would have ample opportunity to overhaul
American merchant ships. While privateer-
ing remains unsbolished by our consent, we
can fit out at short notice enough cruisers to
return blow for blow against our commerce;
but if we surrendered the right to use pri-
vateers without securing an acknowledgment
of the true principle that all private property
on the high seas, not contraband, should be
respected, we would be completely at the
mercy of nations which posse ssed superior
naval ornaments.
1t is gratifying that Prussia adopts our doc
trine at the commencement of the present
force from the fact that nearly a century ago
Frederick the Great formed a treaty embody-
ing substantially the san principle with
those great American plenipotentiaries Of the
Revolutionary era, Thomas Jefferson, Benja-
min Franklin, and John Adams. We are
ready to concede all that the treaty of Paris
requires, provided it is so amended and inn
proved as to fully secure the rights of non-
combatants, and to impose needed ~restric-
ions on the plundering commanders of
aggressive ships of war as we'll as privateers;
and the aid of Prussia may eventually insure
the complete triumph of our doctrine.

HOy FOR THE NORTH POLE.

The very thought of such a refrigerative To-
cality as the North Pole is refreshing during
such weather as we are now experiencing in
these lower ATTITUDES, and if Captain Hall
were to start Immediately on his search for
the open polar sea he would not lack for
volunteers who would be willing to pay heavy
premiums for the privilege of accompanying
him. Congress having appropriated the ne
cessary funds for fitting out an expedition to
the North Pole, the President has settled the
claims of the rival aspirants for the command
of the same by assigning it to Captain Hall,
n if that bold explorer succeeds
in demonstrating the existence of the
open polar sea beyond the possibility
of o doubt, he will confer a substantial boon
upon the human race, and the people of the
United States in particular, by satisfying a
not altogether unreasonable curiosity, and by
rendering unnecessary any further expendi-
lures of money for an object that can scarcely
yield any very profitable results or develop
any very valuable scientific facts. The plan
of operations of the expedition now fitting
out has not been disclosed, but it will be
some encouragement to those who take an
interest in the solution of the open polar
sea problem if some departure from the often
travelled route of former explorations could
be made. Repeated failures have demon
strated that it is almost if not quite
impossible to reach the pole by
way of Bafin's Bay, and the schemes which
have lately been suggested of following up
the Gulf Stream, OF, better still, the Japan
current, are at least plausible, and promise
better results than any attempts to force a
passage through the icebergs OF Baffiu's Bay.
Captain Hall has the reputation of being a
bold and experienced explorer, and it would
be gratifying to know what his opinions are
on this subject. So long as the nation is
committed to the expenditure of a large sum
of money for the investigation of a geogra-
phical problem that is chiefly interesting from
a scientific point of view, we ought to have
an assurance that we will be likely to get the
worth of our investment, and apart from
every other consideration, a knowledge of
the peculiarities of the two great hot currents
of the Eastern and Western hemispheres, from
their commencement to their ending, would
be quite as interesting and important as any
mere demonstration of the existence of an
open Polar Sea.

A CABLE TELEGRAM states that the Empress
Eugenie, while at Cherbourg, read to the
sailors of the fleet an address from the En-
peror, and that when she had completed the
arduous task of rehearsing this production,
which is only ten or eleven lines long, she
was overcome by emotion. The address de-
clares that ''the French navy has a glorious
history and the sailors are told that when
the enemy see the national standard flying
from their ships they will 'know that it
unfolds the honor and genius of France"
We are not informed whether the Empress,

ONE of the most important questions at the
national capital seems to be who shall get
the contract to work the Alaska seal fisheries.
1t is rumored that no bid will be accepted
unless it is made by a party familiar with
the business, so that the seals stand a fair
chance of being captured and skinned in the
most approved fashion, and the spectators
of the Atlantic coast will apparently have no
opportunity to enrich themselves on the

in uttering these fine sayings, suddenly re-
membered how unluoky the first Napoleon
was in his naval ventures, but If such recol-
lections did flash across her mind, they would
fully account for her emotion. 1t remains to
be seen whether the present Emperor can
win triumphs on the seas which have wit
messed 80 many defeats of his predecessors,
but the omens are sadly against him.

Letter from England.

We have received a letter from Mr..

who is now at Bradford, West Riding,
Yorkshire, England, as Secretary to
the U. s. Consulate at that point. His
friends here, will, no doubt, be pleas
ed to read the following extract:
I am very much pleased with everything
I have seen since M arrival, 26th ofJanuary.

turing village Of about 100000 soulS. Have
also been to Leeds, a place OF 100000 inhabi-
lam in the manufacturing district Of Eng
land; and IL is perfectly astonishing to an
American to see the density of population in
these districts. One almost imagines they
are passing through one perpetual town in
travelling from one place to another, so thick
are the manufactures along the lines of the
railroads.

We congratulate Our contemporary,
the Democrat, on its enlargement and
otherwise greatly improved appear
ance the past week. It is one of the
indications of thrift and enterprise for
which Brownville has ever been char
acterized. Drawing our inference
from an article which appeared some
weeks ago in the Democrat, showing
the excess of Republican patronage
over that of its own party, we con-
elude that it is indebted to Republic
can liberality for its ability to keep
pace with the progress of the commune
tyin which tits located. We hope to see
Brownville and the Republican party
grow, until they are large enough and
strong enough to sustain a half dozen
more such papers as the Democrat and
Advertiser both.

both out in defence Of the Treasurer of Ne
mana county. The statement that Nemaha
was the first to get in its report we find to be
correct; but also find that IL was called upon
n few months later for q second report, and
that it was to this hat the State Treasurer
referred as being so late as to delay the ap-
portionment. We presume hat our state
ment with regard to the way that the bust
ness was done is substantially correct. We
may have been mistaken In ~attributlng Gull
pable negligence to the Nemaha Treasurer.
but when an attack is made upon an official
for malfeasance that we know to be unfoun-
ded, we very naturally come to the conclu-
sion hat the assailing party is the chap that
did it.-&ate Journal.

Life in Germany.

You enter a German house, without
knocking, through a door which rings
a bell, and thus announces the ingress
or egress of some one. At the foot of
the staircase you find a bell-handle,
by ringing at which you call a SER
want, who conducts you to a parlOr or
reception room OH the next floor,
which you enter by knocks. You
will find the parlOr and best rooms
i'm the house adorned with beautiful
pictures on the walls and. elegant lace
curtains at the windows, but probably
without any carpet. The floor, how
ever, is tesselated with beautiful pat
terms in various %colors, and varnish-
ed or, at least, it is secured till it is
as white as the driven snow. The
amount of fine white linen which a
German hOusekeepeP has, and which
she is not reluctant to show her guests,
is fabulous. This is partly a mark of
gentility and partly a matter of neces-
sity, for the Germans have but three
or four washing days in the whole
year. And the baking of the black
bread of the peasants is as infrequent
as their washing. The Germans in
the country, and in such cities as Got
tingen. keep early hours, breakfasting
at eight or earlier, dining at one, and
usually going to bed as early as ten.
We attended a concert of most de-
lightfuI music, but it began at 5 P. NJ.
and closed at 7 in the evening. In
short, the childlike virtues of sim
plicity, cander, naturalness. and hear
tiness, which have almost died out in
fashionable American society, still
exist in Germany in all their primi-
tive perfection. When we parted from
our hostess, she embraced my wife
and kissed her repeatedly, rs if she
had been a sister or a daughter. and
did not even let her husband depart
