country except America could give
that navy breathing. Tue result
would leave US mis- ress of the as,
and tempt US to resume the old hec-
toring policy of less peaceful days,
There is more danger, therefore, we
are persuaded, OF a war cry arising
in this COUNTRY than in the United
States. War is money, and the
money is in our hands. Depend
upon it, if the demand for war is
kept down in this country, il will
not prevail in America.
The question, however, is one
which seriously concerns the Amari-
cans, and one which they are bound
to dispose of at the earliest possible
moment. Whatever may be the
reports to the contrary, this country
will not give up the Washing on
Treaty, or back out OF it. We will
observe the treaty. We shall ext ect
America to observe il. We shall
observe it, and expect it to be OBJ
served, as it was understood when
il was signed, not as subsequently
misinterpreted by the outrage US
claims of the American case. rh use
cla ms will not be admitted. II they
are pressed and allowed, no power
on earth will prevent the interpO5i-
ton of the great rbitrator-gun-
powder. That there will be no war,
however, we are persuaded, bocausc
the Americans well know on Which
side their interests lie. The circum-
stances demand great prude, ce
especially on their part, for, without
meaning war, they provoke it. The
present British Government might
be displaced on some point OF admin.
lstratlon or IN consequences of some
whim Of the House of Commons,
and we might then be ruled by some
one as foolish as Earl Russell, " ho
did bis best to get into hostili les
with the United States during The
civil war and who, no doubt eug& ged
in the Mexican expedition with that
prospect indirectly in view. We DC.
lleve there is no doubt that in such
a case the result would be in our
favor. The quarrel would be a
lamentable one, but it would be most
disastrous to the United States
Upon the conviction that the Amor.
leans know this-that, in fact, they
cannot fght-we base cor fidant
assurance of peace. We are persu ID.
ed that, in their present circum-
stances, the Americans will not
provoke war by finally pressing
claims which offend the common
sense of mankind"

Fisk and Drew.

1t is now in order to recount
anecdotes of the early life of the late
Jas Fisk, Jr, and Tie Chicago Post
proceeds TO relate the following re-
minscence Of the Princes sunny
hours of boyhood
When Fisk was about ten years of
age he kept small market stall al
Bennington, Vermont. One day the
eminent steamboatman, Daniel Drew,
came to the market with his basket
on his arm. He asked young Fisk
if his eggs were fresh. "You bet,
replied the ingenious boy, pop pulled
them off the vines this morning. -
"Give me dozen, sonny" replied
Mr.. Drew. The next stall was kept
by little Ehphalet Buckram. as
this pumpkin good my son ?" asked
the venerable stock broker. 1T is
good enough Morgan" answered the
truthful child, "but, sir, if you will
examine that portion concealed from
too scrutinizing view, by contact
with the boards forming tho counter
of the stall, you will see there is a
bad spot on it," Does not that
seem unbuIsnesslike, my child, to
cry down your own wares ?" asked
the kind hearted millionaire my
sainted mother said must never tell
lie with my little Ratchet" replied
Eiiphalet Buckram. The rich man
was moved TO tears, lie took out his
purse and gave Eliphalet Buckram a
pat on the head and said he was a
good boy. When he had gone, Il iph-
alet Buckram said to little James,
90 James, what made you tell such
a fib ? You know those eggs were
laid three weeks ago. You will see
that ! have gained a customer and
you have lost one" Well, when
EIiphalet went home his stepmother
came % the door and said Here
you are, you lazy little sneak, and
you haven't sold that punkin yet !
I'll pumkin you !" And she took
him ia her stepmotherly arms and
famed him with an OK goad until he
said that he would prefer taking his
meals off toe mantlepiece for the
next few consecutive days, to sitting
down with the rest of the family
and the next day Daniel Drew camo
into the market ga rearin' and
tearin'," "a Old inhabitants say, and
said Where is the boy that sold
me those eggs, eh p and Jim Fisk
pointed to Eilphalot and said; There
he is sir" and Daniel Drew reinforced
the boys stepmother's ox-goad with
his caae SO cffectually that-but
never mind. So Daniel Drew bought
all his garden -sases OF Jim Fisk. In
after lie Eliphalet Buckram set up
grocery store and gave trust to all
people, and never sanded his sugar,
and would not qualify his rum with
water; so he burst mp, and the Sheriff
sold him out and he went to the
Poor-house But Daniel Drew kept
his eye on jim Fisk, and by.and-5y
he gave him partnership in the
Erie firm, aud Jim beat him out of
S. 900 600. This is not a story for
good little boys We fear il is too
near the truth.

nature of the disease, though sus-

they were but slightly inflamed, and

her husband were similarity affected

and the results were the same. Sew

contagion, to whom-told his
story, and recommended the same
remedy, and in every case the results
were favorable.
"These facts came to US at first

them as exact statements without
embellshing or exaggerating. Here
were from ten TO twelve cases all re-
lieved from pain and fever in less
than an hour. The pustules were
speedily developed, but were more
like the disease in its convalescent
stages than any other period As to

will believe that no change can bot

the old saying that if you @throw
