A PruSSian View OF the Anne alton of

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York

ton of Alsace and Lorraine:

about Alsace and Lorraine. This emf

we meant to keep Alsace. We would

al law on the subject, nor do we have any
interest in it, or what the outside sympa-
thizing world says We fought the
French, we whipped them, and we did
what the French would have done-we
took every advantage. Why, Germany
don't keep an army for toy. We are an
army to build upa nation, to make Ger

in Paris and London. So long as Palmer

tremendous securing of the bowels was essential

Bitters, nearly quarter of a century ago, may be
said to have given the de to drastic purga

that one medicine may embrace the three proper

three curative processes of invigoration, puri

same time by the operation of single agreeable

occasion in the condition of a derangsd and en-
feebied system. This pure combination OF vegeta

His marriage makes him of full age ac-
cOrding to the State and Throne laws OF
the Empire, and he will, consequently
henceforth rule independently OF the di-
rectiOn of the empress dOwager and en-
press mother. This fact, in itself, renders
the event of the matrimonial union OF
great importance to the people of the out
side world. OF the boy Emperor of Chi
ma little is known to foreigners. That
little is not, it is said, encouraging for a
continuance OF friendly relations between
China and the Christian Powers but il
may be that the alarmists are excited, or
mistaken, over or in their differences as
to the consequences.
His Majesty the Emperor of China was
born on the 2Ist of April, in the year 1856.
He has reigned by deputy. or a regency,
since the Dist Of August, 1861, the core
gents being the Empress DOwager TITAN
and the Empress mother TZi-ssi.
Alute, the young lady who has been
raised by her marriage to the exalted po-
sition of Sister of the Moon, is the daugh-
ter of Chungchi, a junior officer in the
Hanlin College. His rank. as indicated
by his button Fourth rank) is equal to
that of Project Of the Provinces. Chung
chi is OF Mongolian descent and Ban

is the son of Saishanga, who was noted
official at the beginning of the last reign,
but who lost the favor of the Emperor by
his inability to suppress the Tapping re-
bellion in 1S52-53. He was degraded and
retired into private life, and in 1861 the
great part of his property was appro-
priated by the government.
The father Oft the Empress is also known
as having been the Cuang yuan, or first
graduate, at the triennial examination for
the Doctors degree held in 1850.
The mother of Alute is a daughter OF
the late T"anhua, Prince of Cheng. who
was 4 leading member of an anti-forcgIl
party and in considerable power during
the closing years OF IIicn-iung. The par
ty was broken up towards the end of 1851
by Prince Kung and his supporters, who
were materially helped by the Empress
mother. The leading members OF tho
clique were tried and condemned to death
and Tuanhua, . as II mitigated penalty

The Value OF the Horse.

WHEN disease invades equine ranks and
prOstrates so generally as to impede the
daily traffic OF a great city like New ork
then men open their eyes to the real val
lie of horseflesh. There are good many
dreamers in the world who, in smacklng
their lips over glass of beer in cellar,
or when putting away at a cheap cigar,
pretend to look down with contempt upon
the whole kingdom OF horseflesh. In the
shallow estimation of these art and liter
airy bummers. the man who talks horse
and who drinks good champagne is vul-
gar sort of a fellow. The bummers set
great store on a daub of a picture, on a
milk and water sketch that scarcely any
body takes the trouble to read, and they
even condescend 10 discuss the claim of
local politicians. But hOrses-great heav-
ems J no. Horses are unworthy of a place
in their daily thoughts. Horses are vul-
gar. and who ever knew a bohemian to be
guilty of anything approaching the yul-
gar? Fortunately these beer guZZlerS
and smokers of cheap cigars do not make
up the world, though they may be a
world unto themselves. There are thOus-
ands of cultivated people who do appre-
ciate the horse, and who see nothing vul-
gar in the literature which throws light
upon the grand problem of breeding. The
mass of these are the practical sort ofpeo-
pie, who have learned that vagrant day
dreaming does not bring the means neces-
sary to purchase and maintain comforta-
BILE and luxurious homes. But, as we
started to say in the beginning, when dis
ease makes such havoc among equine
ranks as to cause the withdrawal from
work of nearly all the horses employed in
a great city, then the hummer raises his
eyes from his glass of beer and the truth
dawns upon his cloudy understanding
that the horse plays a very important
part in the drama of lite. He drags the
cars which carry us up town, down town
nd across town. He pulls the stages
which run from point to point, and which
we scarcely appreciate until the lineis dis
arranged or temporarily suspended. He
rolls the wheels of our carriages and light
conveyances of all descriptions. He is the
motive power of drays, express wagons,
heavy trucks, &C., and when he is disa-
bled these lines of transportation come to
standstill. The merchant is unable to
do business. since he can neither receive
nor deliver his goods; ships float idly at
the docks. as the moving of cargo re-
quires the assistance of horseflesh, and
railroads are seriously embarrassed, as
they depend upon equine muscle to bring
freight to and take it from their depots.
In short the entire commercial interests
of the city hinge upon horseflesh, as also
do manv of our social relations. Verify,
in busy community like New Nork the
horse rises to the dignity of sovereign
power.-I1u.f, Field and Farm.

Cheap transportation.

THE people of New York seem to have
just become aware that apathy and mac
ton on their part, resulting in a failure
to provide the necessary facilities for rap
idly and cheaply transporting produce
from the lower end of Lake Erie to New
York City, is diverting trade to the ST.
Lawrence River and thence to Europe.
Now, when the trade which they have
mOnOpoliZed for many years is about to
slip from their grasp. they become aroused,
but seem confused and uncertain as to
what they should do. They evidently APP
preciate the necessity for prompt action,
but do not clearly understand what is the
best course to pursue.
There are those in New Y Ork who advo-
cate the abandonment of the Erie Canal
and the conversion If its bed or banks
into railway to be employed exclusive
ly in carrying freight. Others would en-
large the canal and then construct rail
road track on either bank, thus greatly
extending facilities for the transportation
of western produce to New York City.
A large class, however, are disposed to
rely chiefly upon the Canal and propose
to make an earnest appeal for aid from
the General Government to secure its en-
largement to capacity which shall meet
the wants of shippers from the West for
some time to come.
That something should be done, and
that right speedily, for the relief of west
ern producers, no one can for moment
doubt. The cost of getting grain to
market from the producing States of the
West is to-day so heavy that farmers are
getting discouraged. On the prairies west
of Chicago, corn can be bought to-day at
fifteen cents per bushel, and in Iowa the
farmers are actually using it ter fuel,
since at present prices in that section OF
country it makes a cheaper fire than eth
er wood or coal. While the corn on the
western prairies is worth but fifteen cents
per bushel, it is quoted at over ninety
cents in Liverpool and over sixty cents
in New York City. 1t costs about forty
five cents per bushel to get corn from the
prairies west of Chicago to New York
City by the usual lines of transportation.
If carried by car the entire distance, the
cost per car. at this rate, would be Sl6O.
We believe the cost per car to-day for car
rying corn from Chicago to New York.
is forty-tive cents per 100 pounds, or $145
per car.
1t will thus he seen that, at present rates
for transportation, the consumer is neces-
sarily compelled to pay high prices for his
breadstuffs. while the Western producer
must sell his surplus grain below the act
ual cost of its production. The producer
and the consumer, therefore, are equally
interested in cheap freights, and this unity
of interest must result in securing such
facilities for freight transportation between
these two classes as will afford mutual
protection, giving to the producer bet
ter return for his labor with a reduction
of prices for the consumer. Whether this
can best be secured by the enlargement
of the Erie canal or by the construction of
freight roads, remains to be developed,
but perhaps the New York Herald's sug-
gestion that both be done will best meet
the views of the peOple.-Toledo Blade.
