a party of fifteen disaffected Mormons who
arrived few days ago in Detroit. They re-

ance of a speedy and abundant crop. The

THE WAR I'm EUROPE.
More Light on tho Origin OF tho Presen
Struggle.

LONDON, July 25.-The Morning Telegraph
prints to-day iu large type communication
reciting an interview recently had with the
Emperor Napoleon. A fortnight ago the
Emperor had no thought of war with Prussia;
he was still unready, but France was slipping
from his hands, and in order to rule lie must
lead France to war. The Emperor relates the
contents of dispatches between himself and
Bismarck, claiming that the latter wanted too
much. and wanted it too soon. The Emperor
demanded Luxembourg in 1866 as equivalent
for Der neutrality in Prussia's war with Aus
tria. Bismark replied by demanding Holland
as an equivalent for Luxembourg. The En-
peror replied to this demand of Bismarck that
should the independence of Holland be at
tackled by Prussia it would be regarded as a
declaration of war; Count Benedict was
present at the interview when these facts
were elected.
The Times this morning publishes the pro-
jected treaty submitted by France tot the Prus-
sian government, and guarantees it's authen-
ITCHY. The following are the points of this
document:
The preamble sets forth that the King of
Prussia and Emperor of the French, in order
to strengthen the ties of friendship between
the two governments and peoples, &C., here
by conclude the subjoined treaty:
In the first article Napoleon admits and
recognizes the late acquisitions of Prussia from
Austria. In the second the Prussian King
engages to facilitate French acquisition of
Luxembourg; 10 the third, the Emperor &C.
quiesces in the union of the North and South
German States, Austria excepted; in the
fourth, France finding it necessary to absorb
Belgium, Prussia lends her assistance to that
measure, The fifth article is. as usual, one
Of offensive and defensive alliance between
two nations. ~ sas3

Dyspepsia and Rheumatism.

cuEsASrss, Saginaw Co., Mich, Julys 1858.
Ds. @. W. RoBAcR-Dear Sir My father,
now about sixty'four years old and has been,
for the last five years, severely afflicted with
Dyspepsia and rheumatism, attended with
general nervous arrangement; indeed to such
an extent, as to defy the medical skin of our
best physicians. And can truly say, that
believe it was reserved for your Scandinavian
Remedies to perform what all other remedies
had faiied to do-to work radical cure. For,
after taking box OF your Blood Pills and
bottle of Purifier. he began 10 recover rapidly;
his appetite returned, the Rheumatic pains
left him. and he lie now in the enjoyment of
better health than he has enjoyed in the last
fifesn years, and is heavier in flesh than he
was ever before. And / can not close this,
ithout saying, that believe your remedies
re all and more than they are represented.
'o s, Yours respectfully,
asc soiseo 'tiro JAMES B. TERRY.
