to help him off the field. The
latter did so enabling him to
ride his horse, riding himself
before. During the ride the
poor Arkansidn had his head
shot off unknown to his COM
panion. Arriving at the doc

was askeI what be wanted.

TheDeo1y of Empires.

1t is several years since the
world has seen SO extraordinary
a collapse of power rs that OF
France during the present war.
Indeed, it may be doubted
whether anything exactly like
1t has ever been known. The
iii, asterS of 1893 were not. on
the whole, equal TO those Of
1870; and although, in the
reign of Edward the Third and
Henry the Fifth, the whole
framework of French society
fell into ruins beneath the as
Sault of English legions, the
France Of those days WAS not
the mighty empire which we
have just seen shattered before
our eyes. Still, there have
been many remarkable instan-
ces of the decay ofnati0ns once
great, and of the Shifting of
dominion from capital to capt.
tai. The majestic shades of
old AsSylia, Babylonia, and
Persia move like phantoms
across the dim spaces of ancient
history. That they flourished
for a while, and then lapsed
into obscurity. we know from
many records; but the cause of
their fall remain undisclosed.
They have probably no princi-
pie of cohesion beyond the tenn
porary success OF some great
military family; and when that
came TO an end, as in the case
OF Sardanapalus in Assyria aud
BelSnazzar in Babylonia, tie
whole empire dissolved into
chaos. Those two mighty ag-
glOmerati0ns of varied nation
alities split up into fragments
when their respective capitals
were destroyed and their mill
tary strength 0veTmatclIed.-
The ruins of their palaces and
and temples have been unearth-
ed In our own days; bnt we still
know little, and shall probably
Lever know much of the gen
eral social condition which ex-
listed beneath the magnitiicence
of royalty and the splendor of
ariStocralic and priestly estates
Doubtless there was a back
ground of poverty and discon-
tent behind the glittering pa
geantry; for Dives always has
his Lazarns at the gate. But !
wretchednes possesses few
means of perpetuating the
memory of lis sufferings, aud
the relics ofthe past show little
but the pride and ponp of east
ern courts, and nothing Of the
accompanying misery which
may have contributed to their
fall.

The Vice Of Extravaganza.

evils OF the day; indeed, ii
might be called the monster
vice of the time; for the more
hideous evils that excite the
horror and repugnance of soci-
ETY. are, in many cases, the le-
climate offspring of this evil.
The tragic and tremendous
downfall of France, that we
have witnessed within a little
more than six months, has no
slight connection with the uu-
exampled extravaganza, dis
play, profiigacy, vicious excess,
and shameless mockery of all
homely virtues that Paris has
been the theater Of for the last
haIfa century.
The fault is not one of per-
sons ; it is the fault Of society.
Society demands, under penal
ty Of expulsion and neglect,
that we shall be as fine as our
neighhorS, although we know
we can not afford it; and, in
the flight from false shame of
plain dress, equipage and fur
niture, we plunge into debt,
which is fatal to selfrespect and
moral rectitude. This is the
secret Of 4 vast majority Of the
cases of surprising lapses of vir-
the which startle the public;
the breecheS of confidence, for
geries, false entries, pecula-
tions and robberies, By men Of
recognized character and social
standing, which SO painfully
and SO often surprise communi-
ties all over the country. Un-
able to resist the temptation to
spend more than his income, in
order that his family may not
feel the modification Of being
shabby" rs compared with
their neighDors, the unhappy
man find himself at last unable
to resist the temptations to
commit fraud in the vain hope
TO save himself and them from
the pecuniary consequences of
extravaganza.
1t is fact that our women,
who find their highest influence
and position in a social condi-
tinn of simplicity, frugality and
virtue, and who, more than
men, need TO discourage the
extravaganza which is the foe
of marriage, the family and
household independence, are in
so large a measure, the promo
ters and encourages of the
very evil which makes them its
first victims. The maiden who
floats about in her costly silks,
her dainty embroideries and
laces, is warning pru-
dent young men against the
pecuniary perils of the family
relation. livery day of her life
she is by her example, increas-
ing the obstacles of marriage,
that great conseryator OF man
ly virtue and the happiness
and security of women III socie-
ty. Every day she is teaching
young men the lesson that {;
wife is a great and growiugpe-
cuniary burden, which ii il im-
prudent to meet without some
substantial offset in the shane
of a marriage portion. 1t may
be said that our women are
only initiating the extray-
agance o.! men; but this
does not riC them of their share
of the responsibility. They
have it in their power TO crush
ont the vice, by one combined
effort, if they will but make it.

& Lesson from History.

the infamous attempt to subiu-
gate and rob Mexico of her in
dependence. some years ago.
France, England, and Spain
formed an unholy alliance fol
the destruction of our sister
Republic. The patriotic peo-
pie of Mexico bore themselves
nobly throughout the unequal
struggle, and finally drove the
Invaders from their soil. They
have since seen their foes 50
Inundated and punished that
it would seem as if a special
lesson was designed by Him
who walks the ways of .judg-
ment. Napoleon, the prime
mover, is dethroue.l, exilaI and
in disgrace, while his EN- mpire is
Overrun and his capital baseig-
ed. England sneaked out OF
the combination, and is now
snuhbed and insnlted by Rus
sia, and dares not resent il.
Austria furnished the Emperor
MaNimi ian. (whose crown and
head paid the penaltry for his
ambition) and she has fallen
from her former dignity and
standing, and her King trem-
bles from fear Of Prussia and
Russia. The Pope lent his in
tiuence to the outrage, and. he
likewise has suffered humilia-
ton and been sh0rn of his tenn
poral power. Spain has under
gone one revolution, and an
other is now impednding.-
Lastly, Gen, Prim, the lerder
of the Spanish expedition, is
slain by IN assassin.
On the other hand, the great
powers that held aloofirom this
wrongful business have all
prospered. Italy has gained
larger liberties than she enjoy
ed ten years ago. Prussia
dominates Western Europe and
Russia has opened the road to
dominate in the East. The
United States is a prosperous,
nnited and happy country; and
Mexico herself has enjoyed a
period Of quietness and pros
pegity during the last five years
such Us the had never seen be-
fore.
Who can doubt that God is
always on the side of liberty
loving people, and that he
frowns npnn their enemies?
Let crowned heads take warn
ing from the significant events
that cluster SO thickly in the
history ofthe last decuie. Re-

FINANCIAL AFFAIRs-Ihe Neao Loan
What Mr.. BoutpeN IYiU DO NeIt.-[ope-
cial dispatch TO the Baltimore Sum- 80
Hdshin9ton, Aug. 30.-The principal topic
IN none, cncleS here is what will be the
next move of the Secretary of the Treasury
in relation to the refunding business, now
that the entire two hundred millions of
FIVE per CENTS, offered by him In May last,
have been successfully negotiated. The
prevailing opinion is that the rest OF the
loan ought 10 be put upon the market as
soon Is poss Bile, now that the excitement
is ut the fiocd. 1t seems 10 be understood
that no more five per cents. win be offered
siuply, but that when any portion Of the
new loan shall again be placed IN the market
subscribers will he required to take equal
portions Of 4, Ak and b per cents. The
two hundred millions of five per cents, OF.
fered In May last, have been cleaned out
under the operations OF toe syndlcates
in pretty short order, and have been
placed In q bona tide manner, and the
gold for their face value, or at least great
portion OF it, Is now ut the disposal of the
Secretary. who will, on the LIST proXimo,
issue call al ninety days notice for con-
siderable amount OF 1852 bonds. What
amount will be called 10 At that date Is only
known to the Secretary, but 1t may safely

To 60 far above that amount. In relation
10 The placing Of more Of the new loan Oh
the market the Secretary also keeps his
own counsel. 1t is limited in wel[informed
quarters, however, that no more OF the
new bonds will be offered to the public
until after Congress meets IN December.
The syndtcstes were allowed until the 1st
OF April next &c dispose OF the one hundred
and thirty millions which they undertook
to carry, and which they have already
placed, and it remains TO be seen whether
the unprecedented success they have met
with will temp: the Secretary TO throw out
another bait to the capitalists. The chances
are against it. 1t is even limited now that
he Will 10 to Congress next winter in favor
of considerable reduction OF the taxation
of the country. His annual report will be
looked for With much interest, and will be
prominent topic of speculation for the
newspaper correspondents to enlarge upon

SERIOUS AssAULTING CASE LAST NIGHT
A Man Washes Another's Skull arith q Mus
ket-Arrest Of the Pdrty.-A serious as
saulting affair occurred lat night between
the hours of 8 and 10 o'clock on Broad
street, near The corner of 7Gh. The parties
were David Fl. Howell, who is barber,
and lives at Hecher's, on the corner Of 7th
and Broad streets, and Beverly L. Turner,
who works with his father in q tobacco fac
torv, and lives on Leigh street, between
FoiIshee and Adams-both colored men,
and the latter q member OF the Attack
Guards.
1t seems that Turner was talking with
friend of his by the name Of Horace Ba-
chus in relation to some reports that had
been circulated IN relation to a picnic.
which reports Turner alleges to have been
untrue, and remarked to Bachus that he
wanted to see the "scoundref' who had
circulated the reports. Howell was stand
ing near ut the time, and upon hearing the
remark Of Turner stepped up and said 81
am the one," at the same time striking
Turner smart blow in the. face. Turner
caught the gun which he had-he being on
his way to attend a drill Of his company
head, inflicting fearful wound, fracturing
Sergeant John 4. Hall was notified Of
what had occurred. and in very few
moments arrested Turner, who had started
the Union Hotcl.
DIR. Wexford was called in, anu dressed
Howelps wounds, who had been taken into
the Maison Doree. His condition is critical,
though hopes are entertained Of his re-
coyery.
