How We Are Affected.

A glance over the detailed lists o
prices, with the accompanying remarks
in the last issue of the Commercial anC
Financial Chronicle, will show how
largely all the ordinary articles Of con
sumption have been affected by the
Franco-Prussian war. In the bread
stuff market, it says, there has been "al
most unprecedented excitement on ac
count of the war. In the market for
groceries, the violently fluctuating
premium on gold has been felt by all
articles" As regards coffee, we are
told that the sudden advance in gold
has caused the entire withdrawal OF
jobbers. As regards sugars, the price
has increased materially, and the 'in-
tluence of the rise in gold has been
very noticeable on the market for raws. y
As regards molasses, the views OF
holders have been strengthened by the
advance Of the gold premium" As re-
CARDS fruits, the price of foreign dried
has been influenced by the rise in gold,
and almost everything in the list shows
a material advance in price The
same kind of statement is made, in
item after item, about nearly every ar
ticle with which commerce deals. In
thus affecting the prices of living, and
producing violent fluctuations in val
ues the war works out its injurious ef:
fects even in America.

France is now isolated. She has not

Were Austria weak enough to 60 to
war, she would disappear from the map
of Europe. Her German population
would become Prussians; the kingdom
of Hungary would absorb the others.
1t is almost certain Russia would join
Prussia, and they might induce Italy,
by promising all the possessions Austria
still holds in Italy and Rome, TO enter
the alliance. Obliged to keep a large
army in Algeria, another on the Span
ish frontier, something of an army at
Rome, strong forces near all the great
manufacturing ccnters, France would
enter the war overweighted She might
win Italy to her side 10y promising her
Rome and Austria's Adriatic posses

sian territory. These measures would,
however, make the Catholic clergy hos

..Why Don't They Begin -

Some of the newspapers are getting
very impatient, because the French
and Prussian armies, confronting each
other near the Rhine, do not fight a
great battle, so as to make some ex-
citing news, and are asking, why
don't they begin ?? Such battle as
these two armies will fight when they
come into collision, means twenty to
fifty thousand killed and wounded
death and sorrow carried into thousands
of homes, and wounded and crippled
bodies for life for tens of thousands Of
others. No one need be in n hurry to
see such work a. this begin: and
nothing ought TO give the world more
satisfaction than to see the Kings who
have marched out with twice half a
million men, turn round and march
them home again.

The Wife Murderer's Fate.

The execution OF Jeter Phillips, in
Richmond, for the murder Of his wife
looks as though justice may be drowsy
at times, but is never asleep. After
twelve respites he has met the fate his
crime brought upon him. The story is
very painful reading and is full of thrill
ing situations and dramatic points. In
it there are the extraordinary features
of a marriage for gratitude and mur-
der for love-elements which, in the
hands of Victor Hugo, would form
the material of a powerful romance OF
real life. There are some things about
this fearful tragedy which would almost
convince the reader that truth is
stranger than fiction

One Prussian Reason.

In state of peace the South German
countries have an independent existence,
but during war they become practically
part of the Prussian Power. War,
then, effectively joins South Germany
to the North German Union. And this
is the reason why war may be regarded
without displeasure at Berlin; for when
war has once added these South German
States to Prussia we may trust Bismarck
that they will never be free again

DISCHARGE OF ARMY OFFICERS.
Under the new army law the War
Department is dropping officers of the
line who have been unassigned to duty
for a year, and all those who have been
absent without leave since August,
1869, the latter coming under the head
Of the charge of deseftion. Quite a
number of officers are availing them
selves of the privileges Of the new law
allowing them to resign on one wear :
pay.
THE CENSUS.
Reports to the Census Bureau show
that the ninth census is neither being
taken rapidly nor efficiently under the
amendatory law. The census Of Phila-
delphia, for instance, has been reported
as fully taken for some time, but not
word has been received at the Bureau.
here. The per diem system for the
payment of Assistant Marshals, it is
thought, is working against proper
speed in making enumerations. OF
course, the longer the work is pro-
iUnged the more salary these officials
receive.

In an action recently brought in a
Philadelphia court, to recover damages
for wrongful election from the cars of
a railroad company; the defendant
pleaded that the plaintiff, in payment
Of his fare, had offered an excursion
ticket good only on a day that had
passed. TO this the plaintiff replied
that the railroad company had often
carried plaintiff and others holding
such tickets on other days than the day
of issue, and that the conductor had al
lowed the plaintiff TO enter the
car, where he remained until
elected. The court held that the de-
defendant shonld have joined issue on
the material question whether the con-
tract under the excursion ticket was
confined to single day or extended to a
longer period, and further decided that
the replication was insufficient, and
therefore gave judgment for the rail-
road company. From the decision,
which differs somewhat from the gen.
eral course of decisions in such cases,
it appears that persons holding "excur'
sion tickets" can only use them on the
DAYS specified, Notwithstanding the oc'
casional practice on the part Of con
ductors to allow them To pass on other
davS.

4 very singular story comes to Us
from White Haven, which, if true, will
give Spiritualism fresh impetus in that
neighborhOod. 1t seems that within
the space of twelve months mother
and her two sons have been called to
the Spirit Land, the last one hay-
ing been drowned at saw-mill,
while in the act of collecting wood
for fuel. The body, when brought
home, threw the sister into such
a state of terror that she called loudly
for her mother. 1t is then recorded
that the spirit OF the mother instantly
appeared, in company with her son, and
left her shadow so perfectly traced upon
a globe thatit is visible to the naked eye
and has since been an object of curl
osity and amazement to hundreds o.
visitors. In the marvellous line, thi:
certainly surpasses anything we have
heard since the collapse Of spirit pho

THE ANTI-coURT CRUSADE.

What can have become of the furious
Court with which the present session of
Congress opened--the assault, we mean, on
the drowsy and unoffending Judiciary which
the cautious Trumbull began, and the head
long Drake repeated? Trumbull presented
US with bill to prohibit the court to decide
questions with political features IN them;
aud Drake presented US with bill to pro-
hibit the cour. to decide am act OF Congress
unconstitutional. The Missouri Senator is
80 well known in Congress for the viudictive
violence of his measures, that his bills rarely
attract serious attention; but the Illinois
Senator usually possesses so much discre-
ton, and always assumes SO much more,
that his propositions, coming as they do,
from the Judiciary committee, ars supposed
to mean something. How are we to explain,
then, the singular recent quietude of these
two menscing bills, and the strange silence
of their authors? Has reflection given the
two Senators the same impression of their
propositions that the people had of them at
the start? Or have they discovered that,
with the old judges so rapidly weeded out,
and new men of the dominant party promo
ted to their places, the court can be reiiea
on to do voluntarily what their
propositions intended to compel 1t to DO
Or has the discreditsble lawiessness

back to it like an accusing spectre, fright

The fact that neither Trumbull nor Drake
