MIR. GLADSr0NEs WEAKNESSES.

1t is part of Mr.. Gladstone's nature to be
tremendously in earnest, whether he has just
taken to new idea or not, and he likes to :
think himself consistent. You would never
suppose, to hear him leeturing the radicals,
that he had ever given way on any leading
subject in his life. Some Tory limited last
week that the Premier was betraying the
Church. "Wait for twenty-four hours, said
Mr.. Gladstone, land you will see." Next day
a motion was to be brought forward for the
disestablishment of the Church in Wales,
where nearly all the people are Dis
senters, and it was to that Mr.. Glad
stone alluded. Sure enough, when the
debate came on, Mr. Gladstone was loftily
Church; was eloquent on the virtues of an
establishment, and was shocked at those who
would let each sect take care of itself. That
he had himself been the prime agent in dis
establishing Church only last year was ig-
nored. Sitting on his bench, with his face
turned up to the lighted ceiling, Mr. Glad
stone does not look popular man. He sug-
gests suppressed wrath, iron determination,
infexible gravity; but none of those are very
loVable characteristics. He is always at a
high pitch. There is no play in him. The
other members of the Cabinet, whenever they
can, sit little away from him. To touch his
coat would be sacrilege. Giving him every
credit for his great services, am bound to
say that /, for one, feel a little bit angry
sometimes when l see him assuming the
position of a man who has had nothing to
learn. In private life he has the oldest friend
ships. One is for the once-notorious Laura
Bell'-now the wife of an ex-officer of the
Guards, and curious mixture of evangelical
piety and the vanity of the world. Mr. Glad
stone and his family are intimate with this
lady, who breaches occasionally, and who
certainly dresses very beautifully. You don't
see him at the theatre, and he is not expected

WAR TOPICS

For the French people, in the midst OF
their present calamities, and for the French
army, which under whatever leadership still ex-
hlbits on every field its historic heroism, there
is not never has been, never can be, any other
feeling in American hearts than one of
profound pity and admiration. The general
exultation over the progress of the war is an
exultaton not over the beaten French. but
over the ruined gambler who by heartless
butcheries made himself their Emperor. He
has been a perpetual disturber of the
peace since his accession He has
now forced war upon Prussia wantonly
and without even decent pretext. When be
falls, the war ought to end and, if the French
people are chastened rather than maddened by
adversely, it will. King William has no war
with France it is only with Napoleon,
1t is all very well for Napoleon to attribute
his ruin and the humiliation of France to the
imperfections of the French Commissariat.
The COmmissary of the French army, whoever
be may be, was certainly inefficient, but the
blunders of the French strategists, chief among
whom, as far as late operations were con-
cerned, was the Emperor himself, were more
glaring and terrible in their consequences.
The failure of the Commissary General may
have delayed NapOe0n's army on the
Saar and Rhine. 1t was his own ignorance of
war, or the Overweening confidence of his
Marshals, which led to the stretching of his
army along front of more than fifty miles,
inviting the attack which annihilated the
right wing at Worth and penned the left Up
IN Metz. There have been few campaigns
recorded in history in which the display of
generalship by the leaders has appeared in
such marked contrast to the valOr and endur-
ance OF the soldiers as this, which in fort
night destroyed the grand army of France,
and left the defense of the country to the
reserves and citizens.
The letter of King William in response to the
Pope was written, as it's text shows, after the
declaration OF war. 1t was transmitted with
out date; but the date of the Pope's letter
would indicate that the reply must have been
sent at least before the signal victories of the
russians on French soil. Whether, in the flush
Oh sudden and sweeping triumph, King William
can be equally magnanimous, remains to be
SEEN Now that the unprovoked war has
proved so costly to his people in blood and
treasure It Is not impossible that O demand
Tor reimbursement of expenses, if not also for
the restoration Of German territory, might be
insisted upon.
The close Of the second era of Napoleonism
is wonderfully like that of the first. The
Nephew, like the Uncle, has neglected the OPP

THE CHINESE MASSACRE.

The correspondent of THE TRIBUNE who,
some months ago, gave the Country the first
and fullest details of the Oneida disaster in
the Bay of Yokohama, has had the singular
journalistic good fortune to be at the scene of
the next most important and appalling event
among our AntipOdes. In other columns we
present his account Of the late and for a time
discredited massacre of French and Russian
reside nts at Tien- -Tsin, China. 1t is disheait-
ening to discover that the responsibility for it
rests upon the Chinese authorities. 1t is
humiliating to know that the only apologst
of their crimes is the United States Consul at
that port.
There was reason to believe, when the news
of the dreadful affair was first authenticated
that the massacre had been precipitated by
some imprudent offensive action on the part
of the French residents. They have been par
ticularly obnoxious to the natives since the
COrea expedition of 1866, when French gun
boats Inundated Chinese pride, but French dip
lomats, failing to punish, aroused Chinese con-
tempt. Besides, the French in China, as in other
foreign lands have built their settlements apart
from those of other nationalities, thus inviting
attacks, and it was inferred that this isolated
position had invited an attack from a suddenly
infuriated mob. The full details furnished by
our correspondent forbid us longer to indulge
in these weak excuses for the Chinese. The
mob were not only melted by the Chinese Gov
ernor of the province, but frequently urged
to commit the atrocities. Their ignorance
and superstition were worked upon by most
remarkable means and official publications
taught t,.em W believe that the foreigners

Attempts are in progress again to cOncen-
trate the public mind upon the Nathan muir
der, by reckless assertions that the "dOg" has
been identified and the assassin discovered.
1t is proper to state that the police have no
knowledge of these important facts, but on the
contrary, reluctantly admit that the murder is
as complete a mystery as ever. The investiga-
tion has not been abandoned but the hope of
a successful issue decreases with the lapse of
time. We very much fear that this tragedy is
to be another case in rebuttal of the old but
incorrect maxim that "murder will out"

This is the era of mysteriOusly missing IN
fants. Not long ago Boston went into de-
lirium about one "little Nellie Burns" For
weeks the proverbial skill of the natives of that
locality was exercised in guessing, without
success, what had become of her. When at
length she was discovered in the courtyard OF
a tenement block, the entire floating pOpula-
ton of the city went mad, and turned out IN
procession at her restoration. New-Orleans
worked itself into fever to discover miss
ing "little Molly Digby," and for months
seethed in fruitess Investigations during the
hottest of weather. Not a particle of fact
came to the surface, although bubbles of fancy
and fortune-telling foated down the river
from as far up as Cincinnati and st. Louis,
only to burst into nothing when examined
in New-Orleans. Within a week, sud-
denly, and with a mystery that the courts
are with difficulty unraveling, that baby has
been voluntarily restored Louisville has a
similar sensation, except that the denouement
has not yet taken place only the first act,
the mysterious disappearance of " little Ida
" Woodruff" is presented. In Europe the
march of empire has paused while noble
infant after being baptized and wept upon,
was suddenly lost. Equally mysterious has
been the little ones disappearance and his
return tO-whicheyer it is-the paternal or the
maternal bosom. Dickens described a baby
that was "a MOloch" to whom the whole
family were offered up as victims. To the en-
fant terrible of the present day cities, commun-
tiles, and the peace of mankind are sacrificed.

N its justification, wholly on the question
whether the Penguin is preparing to go to sea as
an armed vessel to make war ON the enemies
of Cuba, or bearing an armed and organized
expedition. If not the seizure under the
previous rulings of the Government, and under
Lie very specific statements of Cabinet Off

THE GALLOWS-PRO AND CON

Whenever the execution upon the gibbet oc-
ours, we feel bound, for the credit of Human
Nature, to state all the Precedents and Asgu-
ments in favor of Hanging which seem to us
to be respectable if not irrefIagible. Real, as
we understand it, was executed:
First: Because the Levitical Law required
all murderers to be hanged. But the same
Law required great many other offenders to
be put to death, viz: blasphemers Ueviticus,
xiv, 1G); false prophets and dreamers of
dreams deuteronomy, xiii, 81 idolaters ibid,
xiii, 6-1O); adulterers Qbid, xii, 22)-to say
nothing of other criminals. 1t may not be pos
sbIe exactly to determine who is blasphemer,
or false prophet, or dreamer of dreams, or
an idolater, in these latter days; but it will not
be difficult to discover who is an adulterer in
this city; and if one can possibly be found
which is, of course, doubtful, we shall insist
that he be at once taken to the Tombs and
executed.
Second. Because, when we catch a muir
derer, it is necessary that he should, as soon
as possible, be choked, for the sake of dis
couragDg other muderers from pursuing their
