HE'LL,

The following graphic picture Of
hell, as gotten up by the Japanese,
IN order, we suppose, to brighten
the people into goodness, is given
in a recent correspondence from
Jeddo:
Seated IN the center, with the ap-
pearAnce of repose and no suffer-
ing, yet holding down sternIy up
on the prisoners, was King Ben

end ofthe long room u man was be-
ing transformed into a donkey

had got the man horIzontalized,
and standing upon what had form

now hoofs, and was then at work

already worked out. He might
have been saved much d~Istressful
-Iogic.) At the other end of the
building q man was climbing an
almost perpendicular ice mountain,
and another was descending head
downward. In the center of the
building and a little to the left
stood a sprite saving a man thro'
the middle from head TO foot, and
looking around at him with a hor-
rid grin. A little to the right a man
was climbing a red-hoJ post-ire
post. Near this last figure was a
bridge, with some persons upon it
whose sins had been RENTED, and
they were goIng-my informant did
hot know exactly where. Some
were thrust under the bridge and
were lying there. One man | saw
whose body was nearly gone, being
crushed within the folds of a SER
pent. Every thing was nude, and
every thing was dreadful, though
not so dread nj as the living, mOy~

JULY 3Otb,
The Democracy OF Ohio and
Their Ticket.

From. all parts of the State words
Of congratulatlon come on the ex-
cellence of the material composing
the Democratic State ticket. In
talent, in character, and in fitness
for the Offices to which they are
nominated, no better ticket has ever
been presented 20 the voters Of
Ohio. This Is high praise, yet it is
well deserved.
WIZ. HE'S LEY, Of Cuyahoga, who
heads the ticket as the nominee for
Secretary ofState, is a young man
of fine talents and culture. As a
popular orator, he has few equals.
To this, he adds business quail
fcations of a high order.
For Supreme Judge, if the Radi-
Gals can find a better lawyer than
r. a. HARRISON, of Madison-or
one that all men of all parties,
would have the same u~nwavering
confidence IN his honesty and his
judgment, we would ike to see him
nominated. The legal talent and
peculiar fitness of Mr.. HARRISON for
the station is not left to doubt.
They r endorsed by the entire
bar Of Central and Southern Ohio,
irrespective of party, and no mat
ter who the Radical hpminee may
be, among even the most Radical
members of the bar, Nh. HARRISON
will receive q support which, based
upon the sole ground of pre-emient
fitness, will be as well deserved as
IT must be gratifying to the nominee.
JOHN 81. HEAToN, Of Belmont,
destined, we think, to be the next
Comptroller of the Treasury, needs
no euIogy at our hards. No better
nomination has ever been made for
that Office, and none will be made.
Colonel WILLIAM SPENCER, the
nominee for member of Board of
Public Works, formerly filed that
Office. Under his direction the
Mann Canal Extension was COM
meneed, and, if we mistake not,
finished. He is a practical enc
gineer-has fine business talent,
and is as honest as the 22d day of
June is long.
With such q ticket IN the field,
the Democracy of Ohio GO into the
fight, determined not only to ach-
ieve success, butte deserve il.

The Chicago Tribune is well
known Is the most prominent
Republican paper IN the West.
1t finds it to be necessary, IN order
TO satisfy public opinion at the
West, to expose the follies Of
Grants weak course. The Tribune
deplores the appointment of a man
SO little known as Frellngbuysen
to be Minister to England, and
therefore tells the following plain
truths upon that and other subjects.
The nomination of soldiers like
Belkhap, unknown to the army,
of lawyers, like Rebeson, unknown
to the bar, of rebels, like Alderman,
not mentioned even in Pollard's
Southern History of the War, and
of seeond-rate politicians like FIRE.

QUESTION of Luxembourg aud Beis
GUM, and France IN return would
recognize the late acquisitions of
Prussia from Austria, and consent
to the union of the North and
South German States. Prussia
positively refused TO consider any
such propositions coming from
France. There Is great indignation
manifested in London over this
projected treaty. The Empress
Eugene was received with State
honors at Cherbourg On Sunday.
The Emperor Napoleon, in an
interview with a correspondent,
attributed the cause of the war to
the aggrandlzIng policy of Prussia.
lie saId he had asked Prussia TO
consent to the cession of Luxem-
burg. Bismarck refused, and sug-
gested the probability of Prussia
taking Holland and attaching it to
the German Confederation. The
Emperor replied that the attempts
of Prussia to absorb Holland were
considered open meEaces. They

THE ETROPE1N WAR.

Our telegraph communicate on
with the world is beginning to be
appreciated by our citizens gen eral-
ly. Our people have been able to be
informed of the following news as
fast assit could be transmitted over
the wires:
PARIS, July 22.-The Journal
OficielipublIFhers a crrculer of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, dated
July 20, addressed to diplomatic
agents of France at foreign capl-
tails. The circular mentions the
explanation made the 18th of
July, in the Chambers, IN regard
TO the rapid events of a negotiation
in which, al fast as we redoubled
our efforts to preserve peace, the
secret designs were developed of an
adversary resolved TO render it
impossible. Whether the Berlin
Cabinet has judged war necessary
for the accomplishment of their
projects against the self government
Of the German States, or is hardly
satisfied at having established in
the center of Europe a military
power formidable TO all its neighs
bors, IS uncertain.
"rhe premedrtated intention to
refuse us the guarantees which were
indispensable to our security as
we'll as our honor, showed itself
by the strongest evidence in their
conduct of the negotiation"
The circular then mentions the
candidalure of Prince Hohen-
z~ollern, and declares the Berlin
Cabinet hoped 10 place the Prince
on the throne of Charles ", by
surprise, believing Europe would
accept the accomplished fact. and
that Frauce, in spite of her temper
airy dlspIeasure, would hesitate to
oppose the express will of the Span
Ikh people, who were friendly to
her. The French Government, Inc
formed of the danger from tlIs in-
trigue, did not hesitate to denounce
it to the representatives of the poo
pie. und to foreign powers. All
have felt that Prussia was alone in
her interruptions policy, and that,
in common right, she has neYerthe.

The CIRCULAR then mentions the

guarantees, and other incidents
which have followed, adding tina!
