a Coalition against cerheany

rily hostile to the German empire: and
secondly, that they have the power to
force the restoration of Alsace and Lor-
raine Hence the vast military prepara-
tions which are being made by the great
powers concerned are significant and
must be accepted as true auguries of the
events to come.
Nor should the military power of
France be underestimated Although
defeated by Germany her military power
was not broken but increased br the war
She has now good material from which
to form her armies Her people have
nearly all been under fire, and although
not veterans, will not be raw recruits.
Her trained soldiers are better than be
fore, for they have been cured of the vain
glorious confidence which their campaign
against the inferior soldiers of Algeria
and Mexico had given them. They will
heneeforth boast less and fight more
The generals of France have had their
erroneous ideas corrected by a rough
hand, and they will be all the better by
1t. For these reasons it is evident that
France Is stronger to day in a military
point of view than she was when she com
menced her disastrous war with Ger
many.
The St. Louis thinks that prejudice
overrides judgment in the above article,
and that there is neither prospect of,
nor prOvocaiion for the grand European
coalition against the German empire
which the Globe so confidently predicts.

Congress agreed to adjourn on last
Monday, but have extended the time to
the 10th. The reason for this extension
is. that, in the meantime every effort will
be made to pass the bills which will en-
able Grant TO elect himself The force
bill before Congress, gives the President
power to appoint, through his partisaus,
the Judges of the United States Circuit
Court, Supervisors Of Election for every
polling place in the United States, and
Deputy Marshals to arrest and imprisou
any persons whom these Supervisors may
accuse of fraudulent voting. It over
turns all State election laws, and places
Federal officers at every ballot box. The
Ku KIux bill authorizes the President to
suspend the habeas corpus throughout
the country, and use the army to arrest
whom he pleases. The two measures
belong together. Both are pressed by
the partisans of Grant in Congress. Both
are electioneering measures. Both are
meant to control the people IN November;
aud though the two acts are meant main
" to secure Southern votes, the people
of the North, as when Grant was elected,
are at the mercy of Federal military and
Federal civil officers. Only great mad
ness, or greater wickedness, can prompt
Congress TO pass such laws.

long separated honest men were being

ENBEZZLkMENT.
tFom IN. New York World. April III
The corridors and hall of the Metro
politan Hotel were the scene OF Almost
unusual excitement one evening last
week. Numbers of initiated men about
town were hanging around the hotel,
eager to find out the cause of all the stir.
II was known that Jay Gould was in the
building, and great many jumped at
the conclusion that the world was to be
startled with another chapter in Erie.
The appearance of one Of the deputy
sheriffs made the CONSERVATION still
greater, and about 10 O'Clock at night,
when Detective Farley WAS noticed on
the ground, the widest rumors were
hyin. about. Some said JAY Gould had
been arrested, and they watched the
movements of the detective narrowly.
Others thought il was something else,
but everybody agreed that it was big
man.
The truth Of the affair leaked out yes
terday, and the gentleman arrested is
known as George Gordon, alias t;eorgc
Henry Gordon, alias Gordon Gordon,
and Lord George Gordon. The war.
rant was issued BY Judge Brady, upon
complaint of Jay Gould, who states in
his affidavit that on the first Of March,
1872, he gave tie defendant 600 shares
of thsscapital stock of the Eric railway,
worth in the Market ESD, coo, with in
structions to sell them, and with the
proceeds to buy eighty acres OF land in
Westchester county. According to Mr.
Gould, Gordon did not carry out thi.
arrangement, although, as he says, h,
had several good opportunities to pur
chase land, such as was intended At III
time the. contract was made. Gordon
also refused to return the capital stock
and .afterwxrd, as Mr.. Gould alleges

How THE SKULL Protects THE BRAIN.
A child bears knocks which would be
fatal in old age. This is owing to the
skull being thin, uniforms in texture,
and elastic, in childhood; and to the
brain being of a corresponding structure.
The brain is at this age soft to u degree
that would be unnatural in mature years.
This resilency Of the skull, and yield
ing quality OF the brain, explain how
the child is uninjured by blows which
would be attended with fatal cussion
in after life. But there is also rrovi-
sion in adults for moderating the effects
of such incidents. In proportion as the
brain acquires firmness during growth,
a gradual change takes place in the
structure of. the bones of the head; the
protecting Uranium is not simply
Strengthened; it is not merely thickened;
the fat bones which surrounds the brain
are split into layers, an external and an
Internal one. Those layers have each
a different density, and softer substance
than either is interposed between them
the effect of which is, to interrupt the
vibration which would otherwise ring
around the skull, and reach every mole
cule of the braiu.-R kesotogicaf Journal.
