OF offending the clergy, who have him
in their grasp. Don Carlos opportunity
will be when the two hostile parties of
Madrid come to open blows, as they will
sooner or later.
s'On May 20 there was issued at Berlin
another volume of Won Moltke's big his
tory of the war of 1870. giving nm ac-
count OF the battle of Sedan and fac
sinnAe of Napoleon Ills letter accompa-
nying the surrender of his sword to King
William. The Germans lost in the bat
tie 1850 killed and wounded, and the
Freoch 1900 ditto."-Et.
This reminds us of Gen. Clingman's
remark about the fighting of soldiers of
monarchial government and those of q
republic. The battle above referred to
decided war between two of the most
powerful and warlike nations of the
world-Germany and France. Nearly
100000 Of mon were engaged, yet the
loss In killed and wounded was only
25,OOO-not three per cert In the late
war between the States there was scarcely
battle of any magnitude where the ag-
gregate loss of both sides, in killed and
wounded, did not amount to ut least ten
per cent. of the forces engaged. In the
battle Of Gettysburg alone the loss of the
Confederates and Federals was much
greater than that Of the Germans and
French at Sedan, yet the forces of both
sides at Gettysburg did not amount to
2OO,OO men. Europeans can probably
teach Americans some things, but they
cannot teach us anything about fighting.
After the Tilton-Beecher trial will
come Congregational council. It is said
that DR.. Storrs and other ministers who
are not satisfied with the stigma which
Plymouth Church gives to that denomi-
nation, will proceed to get at these
1'bottom facts," concerning which so
much has been said, md will, in the
light of church council, unawcd by
Plymouth, oust Beecher and his ndhe-
rents from the Congregational fold.
Beecher'S recent remarks about Ply
mouth standing alone, &c, are supposed
to have been prompted by O knowledge
OF what was coming from this direction.
PRESIDENTIAL .'SACRIfIcEs. ''--Refor-
ring to the Sacrifices" which the Presi-
dent alludes to in a late letter, and to the
comments of the Louisville Courier-.your
nal, the Baltimore SIN says:
''On the other hand, the (ourier-Jo,v
'M might have added TINT real .sacri-
noes have been made by multitudes on
both sides in the civil war, not only of
comforts and # property, but of life,
who never received any requital but the
consciousness of having performed what
they considered their duty. There is
scarcely one of the humblest of the SOL
diers on either side whose prospects of
the future were not as good ms those of
Gen. Grant when the war began. Con
sldering how these multitudes have re-
celved no return, unless the good fortune
that spared their lives through the war
can be considered such, and how the
President has reaped from the war only
the most wonderful advance in personal
fortune which the world has seen since
the days of the first Napoleon, it must
be admitted that the less he has to saw
OF sacrifices the better. There have
been Presidents who might have talked
OF sacrifices, both of ease, health and
emoiuments in the public service But
these officials gave themselves, with civil
experience and training fitting them for
the position, wholly to their public
duties, taking little time for recreation
and being rarely absent from Washing
ton. Our present Chief Magistrate,
whose departure to the watering places
is one OF the earliest signs of summer,
does not belong to this class"
