The FrancO-PrUssIan Treaty

The French government is said tG
deny the authenticity of the treaty
which understood to authorize the
"absorption," 10y France on the one
| hand and Prussia on the other, Oi
several contiguous Kingdoms and
principalities.
The London GiObe says that it /;
an old treaty, drawn i'm 1896, and that
its publication now is untimely and
mischievous. The French Ambassa
dor in London insists that il origin
! oted with Bismarck, but never had n
seiious basis, and was rejected by
! both parties. On the other hand, the
British Minister at Berlin telegraphs
that the proposition is Napoleon's,
and that the original copy of the
treaty may be seen in Count Bene-
detti's hand writing. The last story
| is the most reasonable, but the other
may possibly be true.
| Well informed Germans in Chicago
remember to have heard in '66. be-
| fore SadowG, a rumor of plots and
! cOunter-plots, and of some sort of q
protocol drawn Ly Bismarck, with
| the purpose of inveigling and wheel
ing Napoleon and exciting against
him the hostility of England.
The only important question is,
Has this protocol been renewed dur
ing the present troubles? If it has
been revived by France. Napoleon
has no excuse to offer; he il fatally
com rrOmised. If it has been revived
hy Bismarck, he will have the suffi
cient plea, "Yes, to be sure. | dug it
"up and presented it again--but /
was insincere. France was ahead in
'arming; | sent the protocol to gain
time; now am ready"
Bismarck is as INSCRIPTIONS as Ma
poIeOn. and As dexterous in diplo
matte trickery, but he is not a periur
er nor murderer, and has not
climbed to power by lying to the PEG
pie of his realm. CHtc0g0 Post.

copiously on the day of his funeral.
During n late storm, at DEBORAH,

ming. A hole was made in the boy 8

A Pittsburg mason bricking up

sive display of sociability on the part
of his TENDER" who emptied a hod

The Boston Post thus chronicles
The misfortunes of Pittsburgh citi-
zen. "A young Pittsburgher went
into a cellar the other day, with a
candle, and was instantly shot out
through the roof. The explosion of

Hon. Jackson Orr, the nominee

gentleman of quiet manners, good
