TIE EUROPEAN var PROSPECT.

Mobile, Ala, Tribune.
There is much likelihood of a great
war. If were humane in our people TO
hope for it, we suppose, nothing would be
more pleasant than to see il cOme-cOme
soon being away out of the reach Of
European complications, we may except
profit from the cutting Ofthroats on the 9TH
er side Of the Atlantic. On this side we
need the profits ofeven the lessons that war
will give us. We have had enough Of the
lessons, but the profits went into the pOck-
cts of the Tascals. War in Europe Will
serve all Of US in a pecuniary method.
What man is there so far above the Ordi-
nary plane of mercantile greed, as to get
down on his knees and pray that there
may be no war?
The trouble in Europe mainly grows out
Of the position of Germany. The EmpeT-
Or-Bismarck being the king-dOeSn't toll
crate any religious interference with his
absolute authority. The Prince Of the
Catholic church has had franchises within
the German territories. Bismarck thinks
that they interfere with the perfect sOyer-
eighty Of the empire. He is cOniiscating
them as fast as he can-perhaps too fast
for the good of the State. The love for re-
ligiOn is stronger than the love for the
State. The one is only Of temporary inn
pOrtance. The other is for eternity. It is
Just here where his craftsmanship fails.
He seems not to know the poverty It's
own inherent authority, and by the essen
tial qualities Of human nature-that the
Roman Catholic church has, and that it
cannot be handled as one handles little
child.
On the other side is France, that has no
religion to spare, even for the Holy Father.
II has what makes men herOes-a love Of
country, and it is this sentiment that is
getting ready to recover the territory on
the Rhine. There will be war on that &C
count alone. Why should the Emperor
Of Germany add to this danger that Of a
war of religion? The Pope is not dead.
lie ROi est mOrt Tire le ROL The Pope
never dies. He has a successor. Whether
Catholicism is a true thing, or otherwise,
has nothing to do with the question. 10 is
an immense power, and they who think il
can be treated with disregard have learned
nothing from history.

IHE MISSING LINK,

what They are Doing az the Race
Course - Additional Arrivals The
Current Of Opinion.
Every morning and afternoon the track
now presents an appearance Of restless ac-
| tivity, as all the stable are worked regularly.
/ In addition to the horses already in train
/ ing at the course others are coming in
daily. Gen. W. G. Harding's stable, Venti-
lator, CaInaTgO, VOltiguer, Planchette,
Bounding Dal and Vocalist, Will come in
to-day. Swigert will also arrive to-day,
with ElkhOrn, Egypt, Steinbok and
Others. Jennings will get here
Friday with Ballankeel and Verdigris.
Williams & Owens will also arrive on Fri
day with -four, among them Playmate and
CreedmOre.
COttrill will not attend the meeting.
There is much talk among turfmen about
the cup race, and from the number Of fast
ones entered, it will not be without inter-
est to outsiders. With some it IS a fore
gone conclusion that Ballankeel will win
the cup, but others have equal confidence in
Arizona, and not q few will be very sweet
on Vanderbilt.
Col. Bacon's famous horse Granger viii
have plenty Of hackers, and there is no tell
ing where be may be when the runners
come home. Old Granger, although the
winner Of fOrty-three races, is now az the
track and gets in his work with consider
able regularity. Not horse at the course
has more friends than Rice's Volcano, and
the horse that beais him in the Bruce
Stake will get the money. A great many
are Of the opinion that Linck's George Gra-
ham can do fhfq and ara mora than uf fl1inr
to back their Judgment.
Cadwallader's Yieksburg is also entered
in this race, and all who wish to bet against
him cm easily find scores who are of an
other opinion.
James Davis has two good ones, Damon
and Pythias, the former entered in the
Linck's Hotel Stake.
Van Dorm is full Of life, and it will put
everything to the scratch to beat him for
the Maxwell House Stake. But IN this
race he will have to encounter Vicksburg
and Volcano, so there is no telling how
the contest will terminate.

GRAPR-CULTURIsTS.
Arrival OF Hon G. q. GIers with His
Hungarian Colony.

Hungarian Colony.
Sixty Hungarian immigrants, destined fO-
LO-ettO, a German settlement in Lawrence
county, Tenn, reached Nashville by the
Louisville, Nashville and Great Southern
Railruad, under conduct Of Hon. Carl T..
Giers, yesterday morning, and passed on
for their new home without stopping. A
UNION AND AMERICAN reporter called on
Mr.. GieTs yesterday TO get an account Of
the new accession Of population. Mr..
Giers stated that he was in Louisville on
private business, and was informed on
Monday morning by Mr. G. Henry Fink, a
liberal and public spirited Ger
man merchant Of that place, that
there was a colony Of sixty-eight
Hungarian immigrants in the city who
were in doubt whether they should come to
Tennessee or 90 further west. He and Mr..
Fink went to see them Immediately and
succeeded in inducing them 10 bend their
course toward this State. They found
agents Of Western railroads amongst them,
using every puIsuatiOn TO get themt to 60 TO
Iowa, and resOrting even 70 the grOsseSt
misrepresentation Of Tennessee and
her people to prejudice them. The result
was that the railroad agents got eight Of
the colony and Mr.. Giers, assisted by Mr..
Fink, sixty-by all odds the better half.
The new cOmeTs are all agricultural
people, most of them having means 10 pur-
chase land. They are from the COmOtdt
WeiSSleblTg (the county Of WeiSsle-
burg, Hungary, and are particu-
larly familiar with grape culture
and the manufacture Of wine. None
Of them can speak English. The idea Of
settling in LOrettO was suggested to them
by Catholic priest in New York who was
acquainted with the German settlement in
Lawrence county.
Mr.. Giers pertinently remarked to our
reporter that the importance Of having an
agent Of the State I'm New YORK, to look
after immigrants and present TO them the
claims Of tennessee, was fOrcibly Illus
trated in this fortunate occurrence.
The public will not be slow to appreci-
ate the service he has rendered the State
by securing this accession Of Hungarian
population, small though it be. The i'm
migrants gave him assurance that there
were many more to follow, and they will
doubtless be the more inclined to choose
Tennessee for their home.

St. Louis Republican.


The ViscOuut De FUlse of the Chateau
Of La Grangerie, near Tours, France, is
now sorry that he brought his family mat
ter into court. He thought his old mother,
the Viscouutess, fOB some years a widow,
was spending money and managing the es-
tates fOOlishly, and he applied TO the proper
tribunal to have her restrained on the
ground Of insanity. She replied in court
that the ViscounJ was neither the son OF
herself nor her husband, and had no right
to title or estates, or anything that was
hers. He was so much astOnished at the
revelations his supposed mother made that
he wanted 70 withdraw the suit, but was
not allowed to do 80. He has to hear 1t
out now, and the old lady is permitted to
furnish proof Of her assertion. Her story
is that her marriage with the former Wis
count was considered by his friends a
HaeSGIIiaIlce, and the couple wanted to fix
it up with the noble family. They thought
a child would make it all right, but they
had no child Of their own. They made
arrangements to have a child by giving out
that one was coming, and the infant was
produced TO order. The ViscOunt De
Fulse is that infant, and be is not happy
with his title.

satisfy it, Father Quinn published the fol-

regret very much to be obliged to in

Beside the tickets for general admission
into the Cathedral, special invitations had

Performing Mass.

At this time the church was level sea
Of heads, from right 70 left, from the sane
tuaTy to the doors. The right, left and
centre aisles of the church were packed as
full as they could hold with people who were
glad to get standing room. When the bell
tinkled to announce the opening of the
canon or solemn part of the ceremony, the
people standing made an attempt TO kneel
but were unable 10 do 50 because they were
massed so tightly together, and the very
unusual spectacle was witnessed Of hun
dreds standing up during the conservation.
Towards the end of mass was introduced
the curious ceremony of giving pax or the
kiss Of peace. 1t is not exactly a kiss, but
an inclination of heads together, while the
hands are on each others arms. The pax
was given from one to another until it
passed along to the right and left all
through the crowded sanctuary.
The Imposing Ceremony Of Comforting
the Berretta.
When mass was finished, the interesting
part of the ceremony commenced. Cardi-
nal McClOskey rose and knelt at the left
side of the altar. The Archbishop Of Bal
timOTe stepped down from his throne and
knelt at the Epistle side. The audience rose
with perceptable excitement, and some had
the bad taste to crowd up amongst the cler-
gymen in the sanctuary.

beside Archbishop Bayley, and in a loud,
clear voice, read the message in Latin from
