be incorporated bodily into the German empire.
There can be no peace in France while the
Jacobns of Paris are in arms. They must be
dispersed and disarmed and held under the
supervision of the mailed hand before there
can be peace and law and order and the re-
vival of industry in poor France.
The season is at hand when her peasantry
should be in their fields and gardens, in the
work of producing such articles Of subsistence
as they may yet be able to produce this year
to meet the necessities of an exhausted coun-
try, otherwise threatened with general
famine. In this view alone M Theirs should no
longer trifle or temporize with these Paris in
surgents. If he has any doubt Of his ability
to put them down with the doubtful troops he
has collected at Versailles he should at once
provide for the complete occupation of Paris
by the Germans, in an amendment of his
treaty stipulations with Prince Bismarck.
Under the existing condition Of things the
armed Intervention of Germany in support Of
the Theirs government appears as a necessity
to France. Germany may be Indifferent as to
the fate Of M. Theirs, because in the last
resort, she can exact her indemnity, If she
wants nothing more, in the appropriation of
two or three more French provinces. But
Prince Bismarck, while holding France to the
conditions of her bond, is ready 10 give NJ.
Theirs helping hand. Let him provide for
the occupation of Paris, for limited time, by
the Germans as q guarantee for peace and
that indemnity and there will he neace and
law and order in Paris and throughout France.

THE Cars REWARD TO GoRToHAKoFF. -
His Serene Highness Prince Gortchakoff is
the title by which the eminent Russian states
man and Minister is to be known in the future.
The honor is made hereditary in his family
by order Of the Gear. The Russian Ministers,
at the Courts OF England and Turkey
have also received aristocratic promotion at
the hands of their imperial master. These
facts, which are embraced in our cable tele-
grams from St. Petersburg, go to show that
the Emperor of Russia is vastly pleased at the
issue of the London Conference and the
virtual obliteration of the Treaty of Paris of
1856 so far az 1t restricted the navigation of
the Black Sea by Russian vessels of war.
Prince Gortchakoff has won his honors well,
as have the other gentlemen, and 1t is to be
hoped that they may continue to wear them
for heightened period to come. The famous
G0rtchakoff circular of October 81 (new
style), addressed to Earl Granville, accom-
plished a grand work for Russia in every
sense of the word. 1t appears as if ''mon-
archs" are not ''ungrateful' invariably.

We give to-day full and very interesting
report from the HERALD special correspondent
with the Darien Canal surveying expedition.
1t is very evident that the party is moving
with expedition and great energy, and if q
practicable route exists they will find it. The
work is laborious and attended with many
hardships, annoyances and dangers, which,
delay in the completion Of the great enter
prise. Suez was nothing in comparison with
what the Darien route must be, as will be dis
covered when the work is fairly inaugurated.
That which may be nothing to an engineer
force will, to the construction party, prove,
probably, serious obstacle; but perseverance,
energy and determination, with the neces-
sary funds, will remove mountains. Hence
we expect that, at some future day,
steamers will pass from ocean to ocean
trouble than is now experienced at Suez, if as
much. Our correspondent gives some very
interesting and amusing incidents connected
with his exploration of the rivers. His de-
scription of the mountain scenery, the woods,
the jungle and other features of tropical
localities, are entertaining, and his experience
with animals, insects and reptiles will allow
our readers to form very correct idea Of the
terrible discomfort attending life in primitive
country within the tropics. Fortunately the
party thus far has enjoyed good health. Ex-
cepting in few cases the facilitating fevers,
caused by the malaria Of that section, had not
attacked them, and the work went on without
drawback worth mentioning. We hope their
good luck in this respect will continue, so that
before the season is over they will be able to
tell with certainty whether the route is practi-
cable or not.

THE TROMBoNEs WRATH AND THE HERALD
ENTERPRISE. Compelled to pay homage to
the enterprise of the HERALD by using our
special cable report Of an interview had by
one Of our correspondents with Prince Bis
marck, the Trombone, with brazen assurance,
speaks of Bismarck defining ''the position
which Germany takes in the French domestic
troubles in conversation with the CORES
pondent of an English newspaper" 1t is
really remarkable, under the crcum-
stances, that Bismarck should have ex-
pressed to an English journalist his apprecia-
ton of the good sense and consistency dis
played by the people Of the United States dur
ing the war. The Trombone, however, is
mad-mad because it was necessitated to
acknowledge our superior enterprise by using
our special dispatches, and doubly mad be-
cause our sources of information on matters Of
State are Emperors, Cardinals, Princes, Pre-
miers and other men high in authority, instead
of "my lords Wallets, coachmen and Aunkies
generally, retailing at porter house, over a
pot Of beer, the news they had overheard in
the conversations of their masters.

THE WAR In CUBA-HoRRIBLB ArRocI-
TIES. BY special telegram from the HERALD's
correspondent 10 Havana we learn that the
most horrible atrocities are now being carried
on by the Spaniards and the rebels. 1t was only
yesterday that we announced the capture and
killing of an entire party Of contra guerillas;
to-day we hear that the volunteers roasted
man alive, first driving stake through his
body, and that an entire family, consisting of
old men, women and children, was murdered
by Spanish troops. Thus the war goes on
and, as we thought 1t would, 1t now assumes
a shape in which no quarter is given. We
must be prepared to hear henceforward Of
many such terrible atrocities, that are burn
ing disgrace to those who perpetrate them.
When will this Wholesale murder cease? When
will peace be once more restored to the dis
tracted portions Of the Island of Cuba

He may succeed in marching upon the insur-
gents; but he may fail, and if he should fail,
what then? The London Standard has o
despatch saying that the Germans will occupy
Paris Immediately on the downfall of the
Theirs government.
Has it, then, come to this, that the downfall
of the Theirs government is expected as the
Paris insurgents2 If so, and If NJ Theirs has
any doubts Of the issue Of the sanguinary
contest for which he is preparing, why not
apply at once for the armed Intervention of
Germany to prevent needless and profitless
waste of human life? A modification of the
treaty Of peace, SO as to provide that for a
specified time the German army shall occupy
Paris, will settle the difficulty at once. Mea-
sures in the interval could be adopted to
secure the city against the ''reds," by disarm-
ing them, and by bringing In to the support
of the government one or two hundred thou
sand of the veteran soldiers from Germany of
the late imperial army. Then, with the retire.
ment of the Germans, M. Theirs would have
IuTtS uio
On the other hand, let us suppose that, rely
ing upon his hastily gathered raw volunteers
at Versailles, M. Theirs Is defeated and his
government is overthrow by the ''reds,"
and that the Germans, as the only alter
native left them, march into and occupy
Paris; what will be their situation and
the situation of France2 They will be
in occupation of conquered country, without
government, and France will be in chaos.
Poor France She does, indeed, appear to
have run her course, not only as the arbiter,
but as one Of the great Powers Of Europe, and
she seems rapidly going in that decline from
which Spain, once the head and front of the
Continent, has been reduced to q mere cipher
among the nations. There must be peace in

From the American Farm Journal.
Tile Ditching.

/ propose saying a few words on
Tile Ditching. Comparatively few
farmers seem to attach much impor-
tance to the subject of undertaking
their soil, especially if the land has
snhicient slope to carry the water on
upon the surface.
A great number of men seem to
think that anv convenient method of
getting rid of a super abundance of
water is all that is necessary. If they
can drain a marsh by cutting an open
ditch from it to some natural outlet,
and thereby secure for cultivation the
aforesaid swamp, they are content.
Many farmers are often compelled
to plant late in the spring on account
of backward springs, and wet fields,
kept wet by the numerous freshets
and the almost entire absence of drains
of any kind. When one of these pecu-
liar seasons occurs, the last planting
usually takes place between the goth
of May and the 10th of June. Follow
ing the summer is probably an early
fall, and the consequence is a frost
bitten corn crop, worth possibly half
that of good crop year.
Now, wish to say something in ia
vor of the Tile Ditching, which, am
happy to say, is duly appreciated in
some parts of the country. Farmers
look at the advantage of land natural
ly as wet as your own. That can be
pl0wed and planted from a week to
twice or thrice that length of time
sooner than yours can because its
owner has provided an escape for the
soaking rains that are keeping your
fields literally full of water. One week
of good growing weather, sometimes
tells wonderfully upon the common
harvest. The advantages of under
draining over a common ditch are
twofold. First, you lose no tillable
ground when your ditch is all put be-
meath the surface; and second, the
soil loses to great extent the benefit
of a shower when the water is permit
ted to run off oUer the ground instead
of WndeT it. Did you never see your
soil being carried away by the shower
you considered the salvation of the
growing crop? I warrant me you
have.
But there is another important item
that should be taken into considera-
ton by every intelligent farmer, viz.
che manure suffered to escape without
once entering the soil. Chemists tel
US of the gases eoashed out of the at
mosphere by every rain that falls
And they also tell us that these same
gases are the active principles of ma
Hnre, thus showing conclusively thai
to gain all the advantages possible
from the rain that falls it is necessary
to have it pass through the surface
and be carried off by underground
channels.
A small amount of tile ditching is
within the means of every man who
owns farm, and many farms have
upon them some spot that needs ditch
ing lin fact, believe / might safely
say there are few without them), ther
as q test would it not pay to employ s
few rods of tile?
