penhagan Government has directed its repre-
sentative at Berlin to ask for an explanation.
In the event of persistence on the part of
Prussia, Denmark, it is thought. will proceed
to retaliate by expellipg Germans from the
Danish provinces. and then the ball will COM
mence and the band will begin to play. 1t is
England will take the part of the Danes
against Prussia, which will allow France with
her grievances to come in and recapture Alsace
and Lorraine and her traditions of the Rhine
IL is really curious how SO small a matter as
the possession of petty province should en-
danger the peace of nearly all Europe, bat it is
on the cards. If it does occur, some family
lationships win be badly smashed up for q
short time. England is allied to Russia aud
Prussia by the closest personal ties of the
reigning royal families and the refuge afford
ed to the man of Sedan, his widow and their
son, the future Emperor, will not make Fran ce
much of an enemy to England. If it comes to
scramble among the great powers, it wonld
seem that Prussia must be lett alone with Aus
tria, and that Prussia's difficulty will be
Frances opportunity.

GossIP.-We condemn gossip-scandal's
twin sisters-yet it is a fault easily COM
mitted. We begin by gentle deprecatory
reference to somebody IS inrirmity of temper,
and we find ourselves specifying a particu
lar time and scene, which straightway the
one who hears tells again to some one else
with additions, slight, perhaps. but ma
terial. Before we know it we have stirred
up hornets nest. This may be done
without any more potent motive than mere
love of fun and half the gossip in the So
cial world is of the unthinking kind in
dulged in merely from a spirit Of drollery.
Far worst is that other sort of talk which
ends in SANDER and begins in malice, and
which separates friends and sunders the
ties of years of intercourse with it's sharp
and Earring discords. The only way to
avoid this evil is to refrain from making
the affairs of our friends staple article of
in the household. There are
plenty of subjects at hand-let us avoid
pers on alities.

New Developments in Arctic Geography.

The Austro- Hungarian expedition of
Payot and Weyprecht, concerning which
! information was received some days ago by
cable, seems, after fuller reports, to have
accomplished an important discovery.
Being locked in the ice they drifted north
ward, and, when about two hundred miles
from Nova Zembla, discovered land, which
was mountainous and lofty. Coming
within three miles of it they landed over
the ice, but found very little life, either
animal or vegetable. They traversed this
land to latitude eighty-two degrees five
minutes, and cited a cape in about latitude
eighty-three degrees, which they called
Cape Vienna. To the land itself they gave
the name Francis Joseph, their Emperor.
They saw no limit to the land in an easterly
or westerly direction. Their ship, being
still icebound after two winters, was
and the party, escaping over
the ice first, then in boats which they had
dragged until open water was reached, at
length reached Nova Zembla, and, while
coasting southwark, were picked up by
fishing vessel, from which they were
landed at Vardoe, in Norway. Long since
given up for lost, they were every where |

b Tho correspondent of the Courier
Journal writes: The President is very
much chafed ard indignant at the idea
Of the Senate bill being presented to
Him for his signature, and, in order to
prevent this annoyance, he declares
freely that he will veto it If presented
TO him. A prominent Western Repub-
lican member to-day expressed the
opinion that this unusal procedure on
the part of the President, threatening a
veto, had only served to strengthen the
bill. At this date the passage of the
Senate bin, without material change,
is highly probable. An executive veto
Of the bill is not less probable, and de.

ton over tho veto is among the posi-
bilitics of tho not distant future.

How it HapDencd.

We have been trying for two or three
weeks to find out how Baxter got TO be
Governor of Arkansas. Now we have
it as plain as the sun at high twelve or
the stars Of heaven on the black brow
of night. We quote from the Viadica-
tor--a Brooks paper printed and pub
lished at Searcy:
"The fact is too fresh and patent that
he [Baxter] got there by 'disfranchis-
ing twenty-five thousand Of us at one
fell swoop, and, when that was INSULT
cient, by manipulating the returns at the
State Department, throwing out whole
counties and townships, and, being still
behind, causing his minions in the Leg
islature to refuse Mr.. Brooks a hearing
on the merits Of the case. A nice man
truly Cor the people to support in prefer
ence TO the man Of their choice"
The above reads q little like some
thing that happened in Tennessee four
or five yearsag Citizens of Arkansas
say Baxter made a good Governor, and
that ho was careful 10 fiji the subordi-
nate positions within his control with
the best ability he could command.
