What Whittier Saws

In his letter TO the reunion Of Abolition
ists in Chicago, Whittier says:
For myself, I bow my head in silent
thanks giving, profoundly grateful that
have been permitted to ouElive-the great
wrong and to see the fig OF mC country
float everywhere over free men. Inc end
has been reached-not as ne hoped. through
the peaceful ways Of argument, appeal and
constitutional legislation. out through the
Red sea OF revelation A. al awful cost
the evil mas been exciTpated. and we still
feel the conseG uerces CT the terrible
struggle. As Abuliciynis-s, re have never
hated the people Of the S,u-h, and II is
now our dnty ard privilege 10 convince
them OF this Dy generous and ma agnanimous
dealing. Let all revenge and malice and
evil-speakiug pass away, and iet It not be
our fault if we are not henceforth united
neOple in feeling as well as in rame.

Lonely Days at the White House.

Washington Correspondence New York Graphic.
These are lonely days at the White House.
To one OF the Centennial Committee Of
ladies who waited upon him last week and
invited him and his farnily to join the pill
grimage to Mount Vernon, the President
replied. while accepting for himself, II have
no family now. You know my daughter is
across the ocean and my sons are all away.
For the fret time in twenty-five years Mrs.
Grant and myself are alone There is a
pathos in this few can fail to appreciate
The only daughter, the idol of the house
hold, has gone 70 make her home among
strangers; the eldest son is attending tohis
military duties elsewhere; the second son,
Ulysses. is finishing his course at Harvard;
and the youngest. Jesse, is at boarding
school in or near Philadelphia. So it hap
pens that "for the first time in twenty-five
Years" the President and his wife are
'.alone" Loving parents as they are, this
being alone is doubtless deeply felt by the
President and Mrs. Grant.

Throwing n Woman in the Gutter.

Henry Weisman, a saloon keeper, was be-
fore the police court on Saturday, charged
with assault and battery on a woman nam.
ed Henrietta Smith. Tue prosecuting wit
mass said she went 70 WeismaI's saloon TO
ask him to sell no more Intoxicating liquor
to her husband. and Weisman caught her
and threw her across the pavement into the
gutter. She said her husband spent all his
time and money in the saloon. He had
sold it TO Weisman at her request Judge
Marchant looked minute or two at the
saloon keeper. and then pronounced sem
tence thus: WHY didn't you send the man
home, and make him take his wife with
him! You thought you coud get a few
dimes out of him, and so you kept him
there. You can pay fine Of SO and costs.
Weisman felt that his sentence was merci-
full and promptly paid his ine.-Cincinnah

War Clouds.

The lead ng article in the Times of May
q, is one well worthy Of the attention
which it will everywhere receive. 1t was
plain warning that Europe is on the eve of
a mighty war. Affairs have come to such
pass that the burden of maintaining the
armies which all the nations have prepared
for the coming war is too great to be en-
ly Increased. The process of turning citi-
zens into soldiers" says the Times, goes
on all over Europe without apparent linn
IT," The German army is more than half
as large again as 1t was fifteen years
ago, but still it is not large enough to
satisfy Bismarck and Moltke. France, Aus.
tria, I-aly, Russia, Belgium and Sweden is
each following Germany example, and are
increasing their armies. Each is afraid of
ing to the traditions OF al earlier age, when
eyery free man was a soldier, and the pur-
suits O: industry were wholly subordinated
to the claims of military service" Each
nation save 1t is armng only for defense
but some of -neln have already armies for
defense more numerous than any offensive
army that Can be brought against them.
SAYS the Times:
:Germany mas total army of l,26I coo
men. and this is very nearly twice as large
| as the entire offensive army of European
| and Asiaric Russia, and falls very little
short of the com bined offensive forces Of
| France, Austria and Italy. The French
army, again. is much larger than the army
| with which Germany could make the
attack. Nor is Italy less well defended
against ali possible assailants. Within the
last fifteen years she has almost doubled
her standing army, and has increased
the available offensive part of it in an
even larger proportion. She has now
605,2OO soldiers with whom she can de.
fend herself. and $4,000 with whom
she can attack her neighbors. If we
neasu,e her defensive force against the
| offensive forces of any other nation what
ever, we shall find that they do not fall taI
short of any, and that they are considera
| bly, in excess of most. The very pretense
Of reason thus altogether disappears, and
the iealousies and suspicious of the nations
of Europe with regard to each others fu
ture movements are shown to be as base
| less az they are ruinous."
England, for every 1000 of her popula
ton, maintains only three soldiers fol
offensive purposes; Italy and Belgium main
tain twelve, Austria fifteen, and German.
|.twenty-one. 1t is in vain for Germany Il
pretend that she wishes only TO defend her
self-she means mischief. and the gul
which will be the signal Of the next grea
war will be fred by her.
