Counterfeit Fifiy-Cent Note.

A very bad counterfeit on the late issue
of ffty-cent notes, with vignette of STAN
ton. has made its appearance. 1t is
lithograph, and is fair imitation of the
genuine note. The paper is greasy and
the back printing of the note is much mar
rover than the front, giving margin to
the back larger than that ofthe face. The

How the German Army WINS
Sum m Omed. .d-s3

Many find it-hard to understand, how
great nation like France can be overruG
in a month so as to appear almost as pow
erless as was degenerated Rome before,
Alaric or Attila. But, setting aside the
advantages of superior strategy and mill
tary organization, there are reasons for
the phenomenon that an inspection of the
German newspapers easily discloses. We
read in one, for instance, that the entire
clerical force of certain public Office is
away with the army; in another part of
the same journal we discover that all the
assistants of the Berlin Chemical Labora-
tory, seven in number, are also absent in
the field. NFe'find elsewhere that the lec-
lures at the university in all the principal
departments have been discontinued4-in
Guiding the military, agricultural and
architectural schools. The upper forms
of the grammar schools, even, have sent
many of the pupils into the ranks--one
of them no less than eighteen out of forty.
From these details, and many more, We
gather the true solution of the mystery.
Germany practically made levy en- masse
at the outset, instead of waiting to do 50
until she had fought doubtful or losing
York Tsmes.

an old gentleman, living near Bristol Nir-

son was out in the woods, shoIt distance
from his house. cutting wood. when the
family heard the report of gun. and upon
repairing to the place, he was found shot
and weltering in his blood. Medical aid
was at once summoned, when the wound
was pronounced mortal. Suspicion rests
upon his son who is known to be at enmity
with his father. ..

The vote of tho city of Paris against the
Sendtus Consultuna on the new constitu-
ton, will form q standing menace against
the empire and the succession Of the Prince
Imperial II there be my truth, as there is
much, in the saying that, "PMis is France" :"
a majority Of SC. 600 against the Emperor's
policy and against the perpetuity of his
dynasty, is an overwhelming proof that tho
brain and heart Of Franco are against him.
It is Of little moral weight that this policy
is overridden by tho 11lfal districts, the
army, and the priesthood. In view of the
degree Of coercion by which tho result is
obtained, the majority of $4,000 against
him in the city of Paris has more
moral weight than the vote of
Ave millions in his favor from the clowns
OF the rural districts. The facs that the
cities Of Lyons, Marseilles, Toulon, and
Bordeaux also return majorities against
him is very portentouA. These votes show
that he still reigns through the army and
the peasantry, and in defiance Of the ner-
camille and educated class of the people.
II isa significant fact, that even in the
army, the more intelligent regiments divided
nearly equally, At the Eugcnie Barracks,
the soldiers voted LOSE yes, and 1,1a1 no.
We doubt if the pk6iseitum resulting in SO
large an adverse vote can be regarded as
strengthening the chances Of his sons sue

BRAHMINI5M IN ENGLAND.

The arrival of Hindoo missionary in

English nGtion to the ancient faith of |
Brahma is not IN altogether uncaued for
event. There are many respects in which !
a B1ah1nin missionary in England would
exert fur more healthy influence than the
English have generally e1erted in India
He could explain to the English Christians
how much more sensible Is the Hindoo diyi-
sion into four castes, founded upon occupa-
ton, than is the English confusion Of castles
founded, some upon wealth, present OF past,
some on blood, aud some On trades, yoca~
ions, or talents. He could show them that,
it they would but accept Brahminism, they
would need no distinct societies for the pre-
rention Of cruelty 10 animals, or the sup
preston Of horse races, or the abolition of
the slave trade, or the suppression Of in
temperance, as all such practices would dis
appear with tho acceptance of the Hiudoo

A covert attempt is made in an obscure
quarter to attack the new Constitution of
Illinois, under the pretenee Of calling upon
tho people ''not to decide against it in ad-
vance of iis completion" The pretence is
hypocriticM.- There is no disposition on
the part of the people to defeat the work
Of the convention. II anybody has au OBJ
jcction to the new constitution, be need
have no bashfu1ness in bringing it forward,
so that it may be discussed md considered.
We believe its provisions, as q
whole, are eminently satisfactory,
and that it will be adopted, as a
whole, by large majority. We have criti-
ciscd it while it was in process Of forma-
tion, believing that complaints not urged
then would come too late. We see in it
now much that is valuable, and moi much
that we would have changed It is a vass
improvement on the old constitution, and
the fact that the convention has been long,
and its discussions wearisome, will not H.
duce rejection OF its work If it is fairly
done. The cost of doing it is surely the
worst of all reasons for throwing it away
without trial, and doing it over again.
