AT INTERESTING RELIC.

Mr.. Fred N. Thayer has just received a
most valued present from Msssrs. Joseph JEFF
ferson, the popular actor, and Charles Getz,
the actor-artist. 1t is an elegant portrait OF
his uncle, Mr.. E. n Thayer, the distinguished
eccentric comedian, who is considered, among
the older actors, to have stood without a rival
The portrait represents Mr.. Thayer in his
character Of MY Lord Duke, in " High Life
Below Stairs, and is remarkable for its great
accuracy of detail, both in the expression of
the face and the arrangement of the costume.
We perceived in the portrait very strong
family resemblance between the subject and
our friend Mr.. F. N. Thayer. The portrait
was painted by Nagle, who was par excellence
the actors favorite artist, owing probably to
the fact that his knowledge of the stage
and its details enabled him to appreciate the
value of giving correctly each particular of
dress and feature.
The picture is valuable to Mr.. Thayer, not
only as a family picture and stage reminis-
cence. but as token of esteem and friend
ship from two cherished friends.

THE LOUISIANA TELEGRAPH CON.
PANY.

The incorporators Of the Louisiana Tele-
graph Company completed their organization
last evening by electing the following officers
President, Colonel j. D. Hill; Secretary. G. l..
Walker; Treasurer, johnson Armstrong. The
office Of the company will be located fol-
the present at So Camp street, up stairs.
Work will commence Immediately on the
line. The river will be cabled across to West
wego, whence the wires will be erected along
the railroad track to Bayou Goula. thence to
Baton Rouge, Opelousas, Alexandria, Natchi-
toches and Shreveport. The points on the
right bank of the river from Red River to the
Arkansas line will next be reached, and line
will be run from Opelousas to the Sabine.
The management of the company is in the
hands of men who are not apt to fail in enter
prises they undertake. There is nothing, ex-
cept railroads, the interior of Louisiana has
neededso much as Geographic communication.
There are seasons of the year when thickly set
tied portions of the Attakapas and Red River
country are more isolated than the most dis
tant settlements on the frontier of our coun-
try. 1t is the design of this company to
place every important point in Louisiana in
telegraphic communication with New Or
leans inside of the next twelve months.

THE FEVER AT BARRANOAS.

The yellow fever at Barrancas, Fla, has
pretty we'll died out. There was only one new
case between Sunday morning and Monday
morning, and only one death in that time.
Up to last Monday there had been altogether
seventy-two cases and twenty-seven deaths.
No cases have appeared in the Navy Yard,
Warrington, Woolsey or Pensacola.
The sudden check given to the fever is due
partly to the absence of subjects, and largely
to the extraordinary exertions made by Com
modore Cooper and Gen. Brannon, and also
by the skIllful and experienced physicians,
some Of whom went from our city and were
thoroughly familiar with the treatment of the
disease

BELGIUM.

The little kingdom of. Belgium, which was
carved out of Holland through the combined
Intervention of Great Britain and France in
1882, has ever since been looked upon as a
destined prey for powerful neighbor. From
the days of Louis Philippe to the downfall OF
the empire, the danger was supposed to come
from the French, but now the appIehensions
of not few European statesmen as well as Of
the Belgian government and people, are
directed towards the still more powerful, and
at least equally greedy, nation which the
genius of Bismarck and their splendid mill
tary organization have made the leading
power of the Old World.
Of course, should the attempt to absorb
Belgium ever be made by Germany, it is not
likely that England and France will tamely
submit to the outrage, and it becomes mat
ter of interest to find out what contingent the
plucky little State invaded could bring out to
cooperate with her allies. By consulting the
most reliable official documents, We find that
the Belgian regular army consists Of 100, 900
men on the war footing, besides the civic mi
litia or national guard, numbering 125, 900
men without, and 100000 men within the
reserve, and embracing all citizens between
twenty-one and forty years of age capable Of
bearing arms. The men elect all their officer
up to the rank of colonel, but in time of war
they are under the exclusive control of the
War Department, and would, of course, be
commanded by general officers belonging to
the regular army.
Admitting that France should few years
hence have military organization capable of
coping with the German army, and that in
the hypothetical case we have assumed she
would be backed by Great Britain, the Belgian
contingent would be no inconsiderable factor
in deciding the contest against the German
army, which on the war footing mounts up
to the gigantic total of 1,273, 900 men. The
Belgian soldiers have always enjoyed a high
reputation, and their officers are said to be
thoroughly well acquainted with their pro-
fession. Combined with million Of French
soldiers and choice body of English troops,
and sustained by the immense naval and
financial resources of Great Britain, the Bel
gians of to-day might not extravagantly hope
to make as gallant and successful struggle
for independence as did their Flemish ances-
tors in the days of Philip II and the
Duke of Alva

A Self.Propell;ng Fire Engine.

The Troy IN. W Press says: Fire Com
miss;oners Hotchkin and Ranken, who, to
pether with Captain Smith and Engineer
Knibbs, visited Manchester, n. a., to pur
chase a new steamer for the Read, returned
this morning. Messrs. Hotchkin and Rem
ken have purchased second-class seif-pro
pelier for $4,000, subject to the approval o.
the Board of Fire Commissioners. The visit
ors we're shown through the works at MAN
chester, and were given an opportunity &c
become acquainted with the working OF the
-propelling fire engine.
The propeller consists OF two endless
chains which run over drums on the hinder
axle, and over shafts projecting from the ny,
wheels. The rear wheels are very heavy, and
the tires are studded to prevent. slipping
when the steamer is ascending hill. Yes
terday one of this class of steamers was taken
from the works to the race course at Man
chester, where it ran a. mile in three minutes.
1t was afterwards tested on ordinary roads,
and in ascending hill sleeper than any in
Troy. it went up hill faster than any of the
four Trojans could. Nine of this class OF
steamers have been made and sold; five are
in New York, two in Brooklyn, one in Boston
and one in Detroit
The steamer which was tested yesterday
can be finished in about q month, but it is
considered too heavy for Troy. II the COM
missioners ratity the bargain made by the
committee, second-class steamer will be
built within three months for this city at q
cost of $4,000. On their way home the Tro-
jams stopped in Boston, and looked at the
self propeller in use there. 1t gives great
satisfaction. In going to fire the tender is
hitched behind, and no horses are used at all,
saving the cost of buying horses and OF re-
placing them when worn out of their keep
ing and of the wages of driver. Sixty
pounds of steam is kept up constantly at
cost of fifty cents per diem.
1t looks as if the days of horse flesh in our
fire department were numbered. The cost OF
keeping the steamers supplied with horses
has been one of the largest items of expense.
A team will last not to exceed two years, when
they must be sold for almost nothing, and
another team purchased; besides, it costs
about nine dollars per week for each steamer
to keep the horses and sixty dollars per month
for driver. The self-propeller costs as much
more than an ordinary steamer as a team of
horses, and eats nothing and wants no driver.

But We arc far from assuming that the fears
Of the Belgians are well founded. or that Bis
marck entertains the slightest desire to en-
bark upon such struggle for the purpose of
annexing q foreign, and for long time, at
least, hostile people to the German Empire
The retention Of Alsace and Lorraine, which
was made principally for strategic reasons, is
now and will long remain source of trouble
and danger to the conquerors, and if the
great German stateman harbors any wish for
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, he is much more likely to
turn to the twelve millions of Germans who con-
stitute nearly one-third of the population of
the Austro-H Hungarian Empire, and whose as
similation with his own people would meet
with no obstacles arising from differences Of
race, of language and of social habits. But it
is also probable that such a project would be
opposed by Russia. whose interest is to check
the ambition of her formidable neighbor,
and Of course the cooperation of France
could always be relied upon by any combi
nation Of powers that might be formed against
Germany. The temptation of using their i'm
mense and costly military armament may, at
any moment, however, prove too strong for
the leaders of the German nation, and this
fact accounts for the general feeling Of ap-
prehension which prevails throughout Eu-
rope, and which would only be allayed by
general and very considerable reduction of
all the various standing armies to an unques-
toned peace footing-an event which is, un-
highly improbable in the present
condition of European affairs.
