other powers. They may join her in protecting
a neutral kingdom they will not join her in in
terfering upon the soil of the belligerents and
alone she can do nothing. Her whole army,
which could not be put on n war basis and trans
ported to the Continent in six months, and then
only at the sacrifice of Ireland, would not more
than hold in check one army corps of Prussia or
France, or garrison one great fortress such as
Antwerp. None know her condition better than
British statesmen themselves and they would be
the last to obtrude it on the world by an ill-timed
demonstration. The talk Of Intervention is as
idle as that of mediation.
As the situation now stands, then, the war
must go on, France must come out of it entire
and triumphant, or PROSTATE. Germany must
march on, To find between Metz and Paris her
turn of an Austerlitz or a Waterloo. Other ma
tions must look on. and bear the sight of waste,
ruin and slaughter as they may, until one or the
other of these fierce warrior peoples shall, in
sheer exhaustion, abandon the fight, and the his
tory of Europe take a new point of departure.
1t will not, indeed, take so long to wear out the
strength of either side, OF of both, as in the days
before modern artillery and needle-guns were
moved by steam, and whole nations drilled as
soldiers. But the exhaustion, though more rapid,
will be no less complete, ere either nation will
cry I" enough"
There is one, and only one qualification to the
sadness with which humane men must regard the
strife, and that is the fact that the war seems
likely to be limited still to the two powers which
began it, and that there is no Pitt at the head of
European politics, who will devote his unlimited
influence to extending the area of ruin, and pro-
longing the cycle of blood, until all Europe seems
one battle field, filled with means OF the dying
and voices of the dead. ''-Hunt's Magazine.

Pavia and Sedan.

There is a certain analogy between those great
historical actions. In 1895 the valiant hnlght
and King Francis l.. surrendered his SWORD IN
the battle of Pavia with these memorable words
Sc Tout est perdu, sauf FhOnneur.' The German
Emueror Charles V, as King Of Spain, Belgium
and the Netherlands, having by tins surrender
become the most powerful of all the European
princes Though fighting against the Pope ana
vet a fanatic Catholic), was unable to oequealh
this mower to his successors, because the feeling
of nationality was still dormant in the people.
A Louis XIV. succeeded in carrying out the
ambitious plans of Francis L.; a Napoleon L.
based an empire on the war cry OF " LlDerty,
Fraternity and Equality" and a Napoleon ILL.,
who lacked their great qualities, was unable 10
create FExrpirs du denlimOnde, by nourlshlng
iealousies and mistrust among the powers OF
Europe.
Napoleon III. succeeded in humiliating Russia
and Austria with the assistance of powerful
allies; but the spirit of unity awakened IN
Germany was destined to check his mad career
it showed the total emptiness of this phantom
empire. and the second Napoleon delivered with
his sword the acknowledgment that all the i'm
aginary power of France was mere brass, based
on fraud and intrigue.
The false notion that Carolus Magnus-as
founder of the Roman-German Emplre-was a
Frenchman and not a German, made the above
named French rulers proclaim the axiom Res
tifutio impeTii 0d Frances! Millions OF men OF
both nations have been butchered to satisfy these
absurd pretentions. May they be buried forever !
ANYHOW it is a consolation for France that 1t
was none of its heroes, who gave the death blow
to French ambition, but the nephew OF his uncle.

SUPPOSED FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY. 1.-The
Church Journal has an article on the probable
bearing of current events on the fulfllment OF
scriptural predictions and foreshadowings.-
Taking Daniels seven times as beginning
at the birth of Nebuchadnezzar, and as divided
into two equal periods of l 200 years., it ends
the first period at about A. D. COB to 6l5, and
the second at A. D. 1863 to 1875. The same
prosecuting power, typifed by Daniels " little
horn," and by the ten-horned beast" the
" false prophet" and the chariot " of the A.
pocalypse, is to close its career at the end OF
the second period. Recapitulating the stirring
events in Europe, it adds that but one fea-
ture, the conversion OF the Jews, remains to
complete the verifcatiOn of the theory of the
great commentators, that the decade in which
we are living is at the close of the great pro-
phetic period, and the beginning Of Daniels
time Of the end. Nee York Eeening Post.
