THE WAR ENDED.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
The great war between France and
Germany is. practically at an end. The
interests of both nations and OF humani-
ty required that it should lave ended
long ago, but the mulishness of the French
people, under the lead of the Galnbetta
government,-if such an unauthorized
direction of public affairs is worthy OF
the name of prolonged a
strife that all disinterested observers
knew from the start must end in the com
pete overthrow and humiliation of the
French nation The wonderful success
that has crowned the Prussian arms since
Napoleon made war upon her, is one Of
the most remarkable achievements of
modern warfare, and stamps her as the
greatest military nation upon the earth.
Il the triumph of Germany in this war
has been signal and complete, the down
fall of her aggressive neighboI has been
quite as astonishing, SO that the good
fortune of the one is scarcely less con-
picuous Shan the decentralization and dis
aster than has oyertaken the other,
HenceforCh the contest will not be carried
on between armies but between the dip
lomats of the two countries, with this
immense advantage on the side of Germa
ny of having the ability to enforce ODE
dance to her demands by the same iron
hand that has brought her lmpudent rival
to beg for mercy on her knees.
The difficulties that will now beset
FtaDoe will be chiefly found in dealing
with her own people. She is now TO form
governments task she is not at all
prepared to accomplish in satisfactory
manner, even if no foreign enemy held
possession OF her capital, -bnt In the pre-
sent exlgency Of her affairs, the work is
herculean, and can only be wrought out
by the utmost wisdom and moderation
What will she have, Republic, a new
despotism, or as is limited with reasona-
Bile probability the old Napoleonic re-
gina8 again, with the Prince Imperial, the
Queen regent and the nephew of his I'M
Gle as the despotic trinity? The consti-
tuent Assembly that is 10 meet n q few
days, will find itself surrounded with diff
ficulties 9uch as were never encountered
before by similar body. What will be
the result Of its lab0rs no man can pre-
dict; we only know that the fate OF
France is bound up in its action. With
III sixty days, we may see in Europe the
contamination of events more startling,
if possible, than any that have yet trans
pired. The victorious Germans will not
neglect to recompense themselves for the
prodigious losses they have sustained in
carrying this war to a successful conclu
sion, and when France has yielded every.
thing her conqueror demands, to cure
her internal disseDsions will require the
greatest skill of her statesmen and pub
lie men, In the meantime, we may reas-
onably expect that the business of this
country win be stimulated by the close of
this prolonged and bloody strife bga
A Funny ScENE.-The Boston TraeeUer
recounts the following rich scene which
happened in one of the Wholesale stores
in that city few days since !:
1t seems that two of the partners had
been inwardly moved to bestow their af-
fections and attentions on one and the
same lady, each bliSsfully ignorant of
what the other was doing. But, as i'll
luck would have it, the fact was some
how suddenly revealed to the parties ia
their store enc day, and. as a natural con
sequence, an explosion immediately took
place Beginning with high words thev
soon came to hard blows; and a regular.
fsticutf fight ensued betwesn the rivals
All this was ridiculous enough; but ii
was only the first act in the farce. Among
the statesmen In the store there happened
to be an athletic young fellow, who had
been soldier, and had some sporting
and sparring propenSities Witnessing
the prospect OF a fight between his bosses,
his own blood was stirred, and almost
inyoluntarliy he stripped for the fight
himself But finding nobody to match
him, he readily installed himself Judge
and umpire OF the figal, between the two
paTtners. So seating himself on a pack
ing box, he bossed the fght; calling
I" Tine, Smith p 6 Foul, Jones r and 50
on through all the lingo of the prize ring
The whole effect was so supremacy ridi-
culous that even the, jealous and wrathy
men engaged in the squabble must have
found it hard to keep up to the work
seriously. Two partners ofa wholesale
house fighting, under the superyisonand
direction OF one of their, employees It
was too absurb at last, and it. was soon
over, and the whole thing settled and
hushed up. a e{s, r Sc e
