The European War.

With the election excitement al home,
VIC have almost forgotten, or ut least have
paid no attention to the great life and
death struggle that is dcvastiug beautiful
Franco nnd filing both that country and
Germany with mourning. The Prus.
slams still continue to hold the advantage,
end while the eyes Of the world are more
generally directed toward besieged Paris,
they, besides menacing that city, are
marching over France capturing fort
after tort, aud sre many months viewing
tho scene from u distance, almost every
prominent place Of defence will DO 10
their possession. In tho meantime the
French are hopeful and are holding out
bravely sgain,t the invaders,
In Paris matters are not altogether
harmonious. The government Of defense
was recently attacked by rioters, and
although at last accounts q iiet prevailed,
apprehensious Of another uprising we're
entertained. The government however
is upheld by large majority of the
people Of Paris, as made known by an
election on the 4th. But whatever course
may be taken by the defenders Of Paris,
Who are opposed to any cession of terri.
tory to the Prussians in order to secure
peace, it appears to US that France has in
this war lost her power and influence
among European nations.

The Arlington Estate.

The death Of General Lee has brought
into discussion the subject of the Gov
eminent possession Of Arlington estate,
opposite " ashington, formerly his prop
rcty and residence, aud which, it has been
supposed, was held by the United States
under the con6scation law. In this
connection the Washington Evening Star
publishes the following:
1t is supposed BY many that the Gov
ernmont holds possession Of Arlington
by reason Of the Confscation act, and
according to the provisions Of that law
the ht'e can only be vested in the Gov
crnment during the life OF the party who
engaged in the rebellion. Hence it il
said that Arlington now rcverts to the
heirs of Gen. Lee. Such is not the ease
however, as the property is not held un-
der the conti-cation act, not having
belonged to General Lee. At the death
Of MIR. Curtis, a life interest in it wa,
bequeathed to Mrs. Lee, his daughter,
and at her death it was to be his grand
sons, Curtis and Fitzhugh Lee. The
taxes upon the property having accumu-
lated during the rebellion, it was sold
therefor and purchased by the Govern
ment. Thus it will be seen it is held by
virtue of a tax. title. Subsequently, eff
forts were made to redeem 1t by paying
have been unsuccessful, and the title is
still vested IN the Government by vir.
tue of the tax title alluded to. As the
Arlington estate has now been converted
into a great national ccmetry, and filled
with the bones Of those whe fell in the
war of the rebellion, it cannot we'll be
used for any other purpose, and its pos
session could hardly be desirable to the
Lee family.

To prevent riot in New York an
agree meut was eutered into by tho Federal
and city authorities, and signed by each,
for the purpose of avoiding trouble on
election day. 1t was agreed, says the
Republicans special, that the supervisors
would not arrest any one who they
thought was repeating, and the police
would not arrest the supervisors. This
is the first election in our history when a
government has openly bribed over eight
thousand voters. Two thirds Of the dep
uty marshals appointed were poor and
hard working men, who would ordinarily
have voted the Democratic ticket. Every
one Of them had to vote for the Radicals
or lose their pay. The workings Of thu

1t affords US much pleasure to keep
the readers Of the Herald informed in
regard to the prospects Of our railroad.
We submit the following facts ELECTED
from conversation with the President
and Directors of Lincoln county. We
gave some tine since the satisfactory
changes that had taken place in the
officers Of the road. and now learn that the
Directors are working tremendously for
the early completion of the road through
the counties Of Lincoln, Pike and Rails.
There was present at their last meeting
in Bowling Green one member of the
County Court Of each county above
named, and all were we'll satisfied with
the exhibits of the assets, and the work

The Board Of Dircctars had a settle

engineer and superintendent Of the road,
which was highly satisfactory. The

The CAPTURE OF DIJoN.-But littl

THE CAPTURE OF DIJoN.-But little
has been said Of the capture by the Prus-
SLAMS of the town of Dion, fact in
itself, looking at the geogragh ghical position,
of vast importance to the attacking party
A glance at the map will be sufficient to
confirm the assertion hero made. Dion
is situated on the direct line of railway
between Paris and Lyons, and. necessa-
rily, commanding the approaches to both
these important points moreover, what
perhaps is Of still greater advantage to
the Prussian forces. it is connected di.
rectly by railroad with Northern Ger
many, thus affording facility for the
trans portation of muni ions Of war and
supplies to within a very short distance
of where both will be needed in such
abundance should the actual reduction OF
the French Capital be finally decided on,
Following the capture OF Dion must
come the the downfall of the far famed
city Of Lyons which, possibly at this very
time, is being surrounded by armies of
Prussia. But the possession of Dion,
which was obtained almost without op.
position, is for the reasons already given
of the highest importance to the invad
ing forces. That the defence Of this
important place was not provided for
must appear to every ratoinalistio reader
a mystery, for its possession 10 worth
more to the Prussians than the triumphs
of many battles.

surance Company, labouring IN he same
field, can offer. lis scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that o.
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the

which ReverSionary Bonuses, averaging
% per cent per annum upon the amour
assured have been distributed among t! e
Members of the Society.
Its career, Turing a period of 80 years.
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows

Assured.
Assurers wishing to discontinue the
payment of their Premiums, may either
dispose of their Policies to the Society
upon equitable terms, or obtain a free

Loans are granted to Members on the
Security of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts
factory proof of such death has been re-
ceived by the Society.
Strict Investigations into the position
of the Society are made quinquennialIy,

The following opinions have been obtained
regarding the climate of Jamaica as suitable for
Invalids and others of delicate constitution
and being from the highest Medical Authorities
in the Country they, may be received and en-
tertained as the councils of experienced Physi-
clans:
The Hon. Dr.. B0Werbank's Opinion.
"There can be no doubt, that where a pre-
disposition to tubercular or scrofulous disease
exists, a residence here will often completely
check its further developement, and even dur
ing the earlier stages Of tubercular consumption,
if its progress is not arrested, life is often pro
longed, and the disease Invested Of much of its
suffering
''Tbe Island from its position, and from its
great irregularity Of surface, presents a vast
variety of climates so much SO, that for mere
change Of climate, an Invalid need scarcely quit
its shores.
"lhe Island Contains several Mineral Springs,
one Of which is thermal, and has been found of
great service in tue treatment Of Rheumatic,
Gouty, and Cutanoous affections. Another of
these Springs is, an Aluminous Chalybeate, is
situate 10 the higher Mountains, in a most de-
hghtful climate and we're it better known and
more accommodation afforded, I have little
doubt that many suffering from i'm seired health,
the result of a long and continued residence in
the IOWIandQ miOht from itc uGn he restored tn
health in lieu of undertaking an expensive, aud
too often announcement TRANSATLANTIC trip be-
sides which, I do not think, were the virtue of
the Spring its mild and delicious climate, its
Grand and Magnificent Scenery, made known,
that it would be too much to expect that
Invalids from other countries in search of that
greatest Of all blessing-HEALTH-wOuld be in
duced to visit this fair spot in this Land of
Springs"

DR.. Campbell's Opinion.

especially on those who are predisposed to scro-
fula or pulmonary consumption, or who have
such cases the general health and physical ener-
gies usually undergo rapid and marked change,
resulting in permanent good health"

Dr.. Duan's Opinion.

Americans and Europeans will find a climate
here more congeniel to them, and one in which
they can carry on all the laborious e~xertions to
which they have been accustomed. The Island
possesses all the advantages that man can desire
for every industrial purpose. The slight deri-
walton of temperature experienced during the
entire year, and the regular alienation of the
aes and land breezes, which modify it, render
the island a most desirable residence for invalids
