THE WAR.

All eyes are now turned toward Europe,
and the world awaits breathlessly the
coming contest. For the past week the
coptending nations France and Prussia
have been actively engaged in mo2iug the
armies, fortifying cities, strengthening
the outposts, and making the most exten-
sivc preparations for the couflict, But it
has not vet come The state of Europe is
much the same to-day as it was one week
ago, except that the preliminary operations
for war are now ucarly completed. Two
skirmishes have been fought, resulting
favorably to the Prussians, and demon
stratiug the superiority Of the Needle gun
over the French. Chassepot Blood has
thus been split, and all hopes of peace are
how abandoned. Napoleon commands the
French army ia person.
Cable kilograms announce that secret
treaty between France and Prussia has
been brought to light. Of which the follow
ing is said to be the text:
The preamble sets forth that the King
of Prussia and the Emperor Of the French
in order to strengthen the ties of friend
ship between the two governments and
people, &c, hereby conclude the subjoined
treaty.
In the first article Napoleon admits and
recognizes the late acquisitions OF Prussia
from Austria.
La the second the Prussian King enga-
ges to facilitate the French acquisition oil
Luxemburg.
In the third the Emperor acquiesces in
the union of the North and South German
States, Austria excepted.
Iu the fourth, France finding it necessary
to absorb Belgium, Prussia lends her
assistance to that measure.
The fifth article is the usual one OF
offensive and defensive alliance between
the two nations.
The publication of this treaty in the
Enlish journals has produced intense ex
citement in England. it is asserted tha
the government cannot maintain
neutrality under the circumstances, anC
will be obliged to side with Prussia
Denmark has decided to remain neutra
and Russia and Austria have ezinced ;
similar determination. But other com
plications may arise, and by next week w
will perhaps chronicle events far differen
from those now anticipated.

Judicial Convention.

The Judicial Confrees of the 9th Dis
trict (Erie. Warren and Elk counties)
met at Iryinton on the 2lst inst. The
counties were entitled by party usages to
five delegates, but Erie claimed a double
REPRESENTATION on account of having more
Republican voters than both Warren and
Elk together. The demand was refused
and the Erie delgates refused to participate
in the Convention till Friday last when the
matter was compromised by allowing Erie
county ten votes, Warren county eight and
Elk county six. The candidates for NOM
ination are Woodruff, of Erie, Wetmore of
Warren, and Souther of Elk.
Up to Monday evening the 25th, 24O
ballots had been taken without effecting a
a choice. A dispatch to the Ere Repa6'
Rcan on Monday night, says:
MeCreery, of Erie, has just offered a
resolution in substance that Erie county
having the most Republican voters, there
fore she ought to receive the nomination.
Brown, of Warren, moved to amend by
declaring as the sense of the Convention
that location had nothing TO do with the
candidate, but convenience, after qualifca-
tions, should be the rule for the govern
ment of delegates in selecting candidate
To this amendment, Warren and Elk
said yea, IA votes Erie said nay, 10 votes
The following resolution was then offered
by Mr.. Wilcox, OF Elk.
Resolved, That in view Of the apparent
impossibility Of the Convention being able
to make nomination from among any o.
the candidates before it, those candidates
are requested to signify to the COuventOr

How Webster Worked.

In the spring of 1924 Mr.. Webster was
much concerned in the discussion then
going on in the House of Representatives
at Washington, upon the tariff. One
morning he rose very .early-earlier even
than was his custom-to prepare himself to
speak upon it. From long before daylight
till the hour when the House met, he was
busy with his brief. When he was far
advanced in speaking a note was brought to
him from the Supreme Court, informing
him that the great case Of "Gibbons VS..
Ogden" would be called on for argument
the next morning. He was astonished at
the intelligence, for he had supposed that
after the tariff question should have been
disposed of he would still have ten days to
prepare himself for this formidable conflict,
in which the constitutionality of the laws
Of New York, granting steamboat mon
opoly of its tide-waters, would be decided.
He brought his speech on the tariff to a
conclusion as speedily as he could, and
hurried home to make such preparations
for the great law argument as the shortness
of the notice would permit. He had then
taken no food since his mornings breakfast
but instead of dining he took moderate
dose of medicine and went to bed, and to
sleep. AT 10 p. N. he awoke, called for
bowl of tea, and without other refresh
ment went Immediately to work. To use
his own phrase, "the tapes had not been off
the papers for more than year." He
worked all night, and, as he has told me
more than once, he thought he never on
any occasion had so completely the free use
of all his faculties. He hardly felt that he
had bodily organs, so entirely had his
fasting and the medicine done their work.
At 0 A. NJ, after eleven hours of con-
tinuous intellectual effort, his brief was
completed.
He sent for the barber and was shaved;
ne took very slight breakfast of tea and
crackers; he looked over his papers to see
that they we're all in order, and tied them
up; he read the morning journals to amuse
and change his thoughts, and then he went
into court, and made that grand argument
which, a, Judge Wayne said above twenty
years afterward, "relessed every creek and
river, every lake and harbor in our country
from the interference of monopolies.
Whatever he may have thought Of Iii
powers on the preceding night, the cour
and the bar acknowledged their whole force
that day. And yet, at the end Of fv
hours, when he ceased speaking, be coul'
hardly be said to have taken what woult
amount to half the refreshment of com
mon mell for above two-and-thirty hours
and, out of the thirty six hours Immediately
preceding, he had for th;rty-one been in {
state of very high intellectual exciten en-
and activity Cwtis's Life of Webster.

TOBACCO.

We clip the following from the Albion
Pioneer. Young men, read this
An incident occurred in this place on
Tuesday evening, that gave stronger argu-
ments against the use of tobacco than could
have been produced by volumes Of writing.
1t being personal acquaintance and friend
of ours, and we having been present through
the whole scene, we are able to give the
full particulars, which we leave to speak
for themselves:
The person had the day previous been
working at some rather harder labor than
he was accustomed to, and had felt himself
rather fatigued. During Tuesday he had
used rather more tobacco than common; Che
had been in the habit of using it for many
years. during the evening he asked a
friend for "chaw,', which he gave him in
the fornl of "6ne CUT, as he put it into
his mouth, he remarked that it was the
best and largest "chaw" he had taken for
a month; but he had scarcely had it in his
mouth minute, before he was seized with
feeling OF death-like faintness. This
was quickly followed by all the symptoms
of the poisonous action of tobacco-vomit-
ing, colds sweats, utter prostration, ESQ
great that he could not even raise himselt)
aud that terrible sensation of "goneness"
that all who have been made sick on this
weed can well appreciate. No persuasion
could convince him that there was any
chance for recovery, aud, indeed, to a
casual observer, he looked but little like it
A physician was called in who administered
remedy that caused him presently tc
, feel better, and in the course of couple
of hours from the attack be got to sleep
but for some time it required close observa
ton to discern it from that "sleep which
knows no waking" By the next morning
he was able to be up and 90 about hi
work, though still feeling tolerably weak
but taste of tobacco again brought com
mencement of the. same symptoms.
This was undoubtly an extraordinar,
case. and must have been brought about b,
an extraordinary combination of circum
stances; but the question arises, can al
. article capable of producing such .erribl
effects on person habituated to its use
even under extraordinary circumstances, b
harmless under ordinary circumstances.
