EUROPE'S PEACE.
The Peculiar X elasiOns OF Russia and
Germany.

The Peculiar Relations OF Russia and
Germany.
The alliance of Russia and Prussia,
which has been since the Crimean war
the centre round which Prince Bismarck
formed all his plans, is not yet on the
point of being dissolved, but it is grad
ually losing it's force. Bismarck felt
that Russia had been injured by Europe,
harshly treated, outlawed. He knew
that Russia would think of nothing but
the preservation of her Polish provinces
aud the revision of the treaty of Paris.
He steadily kept this in view, and if
you study by the light of this single
idea the history of the Polish insurrec-
ton, of the Danish war. of the war with
Austria, of the war with France, you
will, believe, hold the thread of Ger
man diplomacy. The situation is now
different. Russia is now no longer a sort
of outlaw in Europe, she is perfectly
secure she has revised the treaty If
Paris, and herself dictated the terms on
which she would have the revision made.
She is courted not only by Germany,
but by all the powers OF the continent.
A Russian princess of great intelligence.
the favorite of her father, has entered
tn English royal family. Russia can
choose her friends and she may find
that Germany has, perhaps. become too
dangerous a neighbor. The modera-
ton and the personal feeling of the
Russian czar will, in all probability,
keep things as they are, and peace is not
likely to be broken for awhile. Yet, it
is we'll to study the new directions IF
the great political forces. Germany
has ABUSED her victory she has done
what Napoleon T. did in his time and
the whole world is silently protesting
against the despotic temper of the new
masters of Europe. NeaO York Nation.
A CHICAGO paragraphist, who had got
place on a Philadelphia paper, was
thus addressed by his new proprietor
"Of course, you know our Philadelphia
papers are different from those of the
west they have to be. You must be
little guarded in your paragraphs.
know that you come from the vest, the
land of robust thought and outspoken-
ness, but you must remember that our
subscribers are a peculiar people.
Don't pitch into anybody-that is, any
body who is alive now, or who has died
within, say, five hundred years; don't
even say anything harsh of Mr.. Richard
Turpin, for there are some of our sub.
scribers who go so far as to admire him.
No man of genius, no matter how mean
he was in private life, must be ridiculed
in our paper, for our people love great
men and always stop their papers when
they see anything against their heroes.
Why, we lost forty three subscribers
one day by harmless little paragraph
on that old humbug, VIM. Penn. By

as though you really must attack some

about the Egyptians. A good
