refused room in the boats. BY the greatest
skill and energy, the man, whose name is
Stewart, saved both their lives. The account
states
He had noticed large rock under her counter,
and if the ship held together perhaps at low water
they might reach the rock and climb up the cliff to
the land. He accordingly put his wife forward
and put a life preseryef upon her, but her fright
was so great, she clinging to him and running after
him, so endangerng her life. at every moment, that

THE EUROPEAN WAR.

One thing is apparent, above all others, in
the war that has so suddenly blazed out
from condition of apparently profound
peace-and that is, that France was deter
mined to have war. The Spanish throne
was the first preteXt, and that was removed
The last one, upon which war was declared,
was the dismissal of the French minister, for
4 cause which the world will deem to have
been sufficient, and which was evidently q
premeditated affront to the King OF Prussia
When President Pierce dismissed the English
ambassador at Washington for recruiting
men tor the Crimean army, it was by no
means thought to be q cause Of war
The cagcrness for fight shown by France
betokens not only thorough preparations but
a determination to have war on some pre-
text. As between France and Prussia, the
world would doubtless be gratitied to see the
former soundly thrashed-a feeling that
would probably undergo change, at least in
this country, should new complications
arise
A feeling of dissatisfaction among Tie
French, unprecedented discomfort from q
dense population and short crops, or kindred
ideas, may have much to do in influencing
the Emperor to war as 4 means Of strength
ening the throne. But the Napoleonic
dynasty is influenced by its traditions and a
belief in its destiny.
The absorption Of the Belgian provinces
a Ia iIsj ,,t - Al
northern boundary of France has long been
a cherished hope of the French people The
disasters Of the latter years Of the reign Of
the elder Napoleon are not forgotten or for
given by either France or her ruler
Waterloo, wellington, and the English
triumph of 1915, have not been over looked,
nor the fact that Blucher's Prussians gave
the finishing blow on that disastrous field.
These facts and the captivity of the Emperor
at st. Helena are scared as with burning
iron into the heart OF every Frenchman.
We have q settled belief that, however the
war may affect the rest Of Europe, it is de-
signed to draw England into its currents,
and will probably do 50. The problem OF
reaching the shores of England. with sailing
ships and uncertain winds, in the face OF the
English fleet, which Napoleon the First from
the cliffs Of Boulogne vainly pondcrea over,
has been solved by steam. The immense
iron-clad navy of France, the huge steam
transports, and every appliance for transport
ing an army with speed and comfort, have
not been created without u purpose. The
superiority OF the English as sailors in hand
ling sailing ships, is unquestoncd II was
in vain that the first Napoleon created fleets
Twice. at Abou1ir and Trafalgar, did Nelson
utterly annihilate the naval power of France,
until the plan was given up in despair. But
as we have said above steam vessels have
changed all this.
Wnen the torch Of war is once lighted,
there is no estimating how fast or far il may
spread. Frederick of Prussia set ont on Il
holiday campaign to invade the province OF
Austria, and initiated a war which ragged iol
thirty years. We can only conjecture the
complications and events that will arise out

floor about three feet apart, when suddenly John
felt the barn Moving-as indeed it moved bodily
from its foundation, several feet. Immediately
the floor beneath him sank down. John very
fortunately fell near the foundations, which pro-
tected him from the falling timbers, while Stinson

the centre of the building, and was struck by the

The account of the life and l,bors of the CtthoI ie
Missionary, Father Rasle, which we recently copied
from the Portland Transcript, wa undoubtedly
colored somewhat by preiu,liccS which have come
down from the days of the old wars between the
English and French for the possession OF this con-
linent. Rase was IL FrencIlman a. well rs b priest
and may have sympathze,i with his coliArvnlcn:
but that he melted the Indians to attack the Enc
liSh settlements or did anything outside his calling
as a missionary, is denied by his cotemporares and
friends. 1t is Il curious tcl that while the En"ljsh
had little for the Indians save powder ami ball tho
French were allie to live in peace among the abort
gneS, to ntelhEfry and to. convert Them the Chris
llany by tnf r.tbors OF priests. This naturally ex-
cited the jealousy of the English who brought ar-
cuSations Of trcachcry against the missionaries,
that were doubtless the merest fiction Nothing is

report the fright from which can be dispelled
by the exercise of little reason These
bonds may be coming here to get away from
the dangerous vicinity of war, and are quite
likely to be followed by large investments
seeking safety. War will stop the drain of

An Interesting and Doubtful Question
Is Mr. Greeley a Profanc Swearer Z

Among the many side issues which have
arisen during the trial Of the MCFARLAND
case one of the most singular is the qucs.
ton whether the Hon. Horace GREELEY
does or does not swear We do not overstate
the matter when we say that the public take
an unusual interest in this subject. The
great though of late rather low.toncd jour
nal which Mr.. GREELEY conducts, is proba-
bly, read by a larger number Of evangelical
clergYmen than any other secular newspaper
in the country and the fame of its founder
has extended beyond the boundaries of this
republic.
Common rmmor, too often disposed to i'll,
Mr.. GREELEY in advance of fair and
full investigation of the facts. For cx-
ample II was charged, aud even believed,
that Mr.. GREELEY, while n member of the
late Constitutional Convention, and within
the very precincts Of the State Capitol, swore
vehemently at Col. DUGANNE, another dstin.
guished member of the Convention and that
when he finally departed from the hall, shak,
ing the dust from his feet in condemnation of
the dilatory proceedings Of his colleagues, he
left stream Of explosives behind which cas-
ual listeners mist0ok for swearing. But
all this, as we have said, is matter OF ru.
