Gle, hints that Germany will make her influence
felt IN the election Of the next Pope. She has al

A return to the old plan Of approaching BOYS

men in every large city who apply for employ
ment and fail to get it for the reason that they
eaunOt truthfully affirm that they educated or

stitute potent argument in favor of reform.

A NOBLE lNsTHUTIoS.-For an institution of n
novel and noble kind Germany is indebted to She
energetic initiative Of Her Majesty the Empress
Queen Shortly after the late war had begun,
the officers families were being largely deprived
of their fathers and husbands Her Majesty pro- !
posed that the assistance regularly allowed to |
their sons should be extended to their daughters
likewise, and an establishment formed for first /
class education OF these orphaned children /
Thanks to Her Mnjesty's liberal donation, fol- |
lowed by subscriptions from all sides, the plan |
has now been carried out, and 50 effectively that
the establishments, which il not limited TO the
pensioners Of the Empress-Queen, promises TO be- I

country. The Kaiserin Augusta Stiftung is sit 4

Russia is evidently very sensitive on any eues-
tioo which may renew the agitation on the East
ern controversy. The apparently benevolent in |
tention Of England TO directly Interfere with 4
Italy "A RoumanIa in behalf Of the prosecuted 4
Jews, - regarded by her with suspicion. The l
objGct may be worthy one, but the opportunity \
Of taking hold Of the local affairs Of ROumania i
would be too tempting for these nations. Russia
cannot possibly consent to have such neighbors
30 near home. It is better for all if only a moral
influence is exercised upon the ROumanian Gov
ernment. Perhaps there is some good reason for
this apprehension Of Russia. However, it is a
pity that the Roumanian authority cannot be
constrained to do their duty by force The civil
lied world Is fast learning the necessity of an in
ternatiOnal tribunal which shall try tho cases OF
those sovereigns who abuse their powers, and
shall deprive them Of the same If not dePOsed by

New evidence accumnlates every day that the
Indians mistake the peace-pOlicy Of the Govern
lnent Tor cOwardlce- As q consequences, they
become bolder every day, and now great Indian
war is threatened in Texas, IN which the kiowas,
assisted by the Apaches, will take q prominent
part Already 8 900 Indians have invaded Texas
under the pretence Of hberating their Chief,
SAMANTHA now IN the State Prison there. Should
q general Indian war break out, the cost IN life
aud money would not be small matter, and the
prospect Of ending it soon, in such an immense
territory, would not be very fartering. Since
the Indians have so badly misunderstood the
humane policy Of Government, it IS absolutely
that they should now understand its
severity. No one, If he be humane and
Christian man, should blame the Administration
Tor having tried the 6rst method. But every one
may now reasonably expect that, since the peace
ooliey has failed, the severe method must be
