TuE British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, whatever may be
said of the attitude of some of its mem-
bers in respect to the claims OF Chris
tianity, performed work at its recent
session upon which every Christian must
smile. 1t made peace between the nae
tory owners and factory laborers OF Bel
fast, and thus ended most ealsmitous
"strike." Both parties accepted the me-
distion of the Association, and the result
was indicated in the black cloud Of smoke
that was seen to arise from factory CHM
neys over the city of Belfast, while the
Association was yet in session. A coun-
ell OF ministers could not have done a
more Christian work than this.

OSE Of the Herald correspondents, wri-
ting from London under date of May Both,
discovers that:
Prince Arthur il TO he received into tb.
peerags Of the United Kingdom. under an
Irish title, as Duke of Connaught IF this
proposition had been made 4 few years since
it would have had more effect in con-olidat-
ing the loyalty OF the Irish people and put
ting down Feniau revolt and hou:e-rule agi-
tation than the Church Dlsestablishment or
the Land Act Now, perhaps, it comes a
little too late; hut il is pleasant TO see that
the Queen has suffered herself to bs per-
suadsd 20 do An act Of Justice. and that her
intense prediction for Scotland and the
STotch has received at last a temporary
check.
Stuff OF such sort as appears in the ex-
tract shove quoted, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, may pass current for sense in
London, but across the Irish Sea il would
produce nausea, and on the American rea-
der premise its effect must be somewhat
similar. Only very small portion of tho
Irish people are so imbued bv flunkevism
as to care a cent whether Prince Arthur
were made Duke of Connaught or Duke of
the Fiji Islands. What they want is sub
stautial Justice aS embodied in these very
Land Acts and Disestablishment measures
upon which the sentimental Herald cores
p0pdcnt sets such light value. If it were
possible to undermine the oppressive land
lord system and disestablish English con
trol Of affairs that are purely Irish, there
would be an end Of disaffection in the En-
erald Isle.

IT is quite evident from tho tenor and
significance of the news from France, says
the Pittsburgh Post, that the dissolution
of the present government is rapidly ap-
preaching. The Republic so-caled, of
France has about proven itself to be a fail.
ure. 1t is only question of time, and
limited time, too, until the change in the
government takes place. That it will
change from all pretense of Republic to
an imperial government is also certain.
The only real question in French politics
now is, whether the BOurbons OF the Bona
partists shall go into power. The latter
seem largely in the ascendancy now. and
the fact that four of the leading Bona
partist journals have been suspended for
making attacks upon tho government,
while it is a confession of the governments
weakness is also an acknowledgment of the
Bonapartist strength. There are other and
unmistakable evidences of he strength of
the young Prince. He does not lack for
friends among the army and the police,
while the pOpulacs will naturally prefer
him to the Bourbon line.
It is generally believed that President
Mcmahon himself is not averse to the res
toration of the Bonaparte dynasty, and if
the pending proposition to dissolve the
Assembly and let Mcmahon govern with
out it for a year or some other period, is
adopted, the ascension of Napoleon ". to
the tnr0ne may De looked upon as one OF
the events of the near future. The disso-
luton of the Assembly under the propo-
sitiOn would simply be TO create McMahon
Dictator. This could only be done for the
purpose of giving him a chance to give
France a better and more stable govern
ment than the Assembly has been able to
do Mcmahon himself does not believe in
the Republic in any of its forms, but in a
strong government. His partiality for the
young Prince, therefore, renders it pretty
certain that he would favor him instead of
the Bourbons, thus placing the INth Ma
poleon in power.
This, it strikes us, is practically the
meaning of the present disturbed condition
of France. But as the people are upon the
eve of a revolution, it is hard to tell what
turn it may take, or who may come to the
surface in the midst of the storm. Even
the creation of a new imperial line out of
a revolution would not be an impossible
event. But the French people do not want,
nop are they fitted for a Republic. That
much is clear to all observers. They are
bent upon change and the revolution is
bound to come. Whether it will be
bloody or blOodless one, time alone can de-
termine.

OVER THE PEN EsYLNANIA RAILROAD, FROM
PITTSBURGH TO PHTLADELPHIA,
IN ELEVEN HOURS.

Probably the best specimen of an Ameri-
can highway to be found anywhere is the
Penn'a Railroad, between Pittsburgh and
New York. In solidity Of construction.
superiority of bridge architecture, and
snoothness Of track, it is unrivaIled.
Throughout its entire length it is laid with
a double track of steel rails weighing
sixty-seven pounds to yard. These rails
are fastened on oak ties, imbeddsd in bro
ken stone ballast, with splice Joints be-
tween the ties, and so arranged that the
connection on one side comes opposite to
he centre of the rail on the other, thus
preventing the uncomforta q BILE and monoto-
nous jar experienced on tracks construct
ed according to the ordinary plan. The
rolling stock is as near perfection as human
ingenuity and skill has, up to the present
time been able TO make it. Locomotives
and cars are alike built by the company in
their own shops, and in the details of ma
terals, design and finish, combine the
highest excellence attainabl To all this
is added rigid policy of management,
exactiug the utmost care and courtesy from
employees of every grade, and the applica-
tion of those effective safeguards-tho
Westinghouse air break and the block
signal system-showing that whatever can
be accomplished for the safety of travellers
has been done on this great line of road
way.
This high standard Of excellence having
been reached, the managers of the Penn
sylvania Railroad feel warranted in taking
another advance step foI the special bene-
tt Of through travel, and on the 1st Of
June commenced running fast daylight
train from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia and
New York, with close connection at Har-
risburg for Baltimore and Washington, on
the following schedule
