at the top Of the world, and thinks that
security not attained. Russia wants not
to be left alone by the side of a resistlsss
Germany, and thinks that she might be SO
lett, and France wants Alsace and
Lorraine back again in their old allegiance.
And OF any Power competent to secure
peace by enforcing it there is as yet scarce
Iy a trace. The most effective organisa-
ton Europe has yet seen, the Tribunal
OF the Five Powers, which from 1916
TO l048 kept Europe comparatively stea-
dy, cannot as yet be re formed, perhaps
never will be reformed at all. The con-
dltlon which made those Powers so ire
slstlble and so peaceful was that zone
wanted anything of the other which he
thought himself likely to get, and that
condition is wanting now. It's two princi-
pal members, France and Germany, can
not act together /; while a third, Great
Britain, has got itself into a sort of temper
In which it rather enjoys isolation, and is
unwilling to contemplate war even for
the sake Of securing a lasting peace. 1t
is true that while three men, the Romanof,
Hohenzollern, and Hapsburg, choose to
remain allied, war cannOt break out, be-
cause nobody could hope to defeat the
three; but that alliance is an unreal
thing, patched up for a moment, and rest
ing on no community either Of interests
or Of fears. Germany wants to keep Al
SAGE and Lorraine, but that is no interest
either of st. Petersburg or Vienna. Ger
many is afraid OF France, but Russia is
afraid of Germany, and Austria is afraid
both of Germany and Russia, and friendly
to France. The first shot would dissolve
the alliance, even if it is not dissolved
before. In the far horizon, perhaps, one
may see the possibility of a new combina,
ton, q coalition Of all the Powers except
France and Germany, to menace the Pow
er which first disturbs public order; but
it is not realised yet, and the interests of
its members are almost too separate for
consistent or permanent action. Till a
tribunal competent to execute its DEGREES
has been formed, there can be no guarantee
for peace; and when it is formed, though
we hope, in the interests Of humanity, that
it will accept disarmament, still it is not
in disarmament, but in the irresistible
strength of the alliance, that the security
for peace will be found.

MR.. JoHNsON's EXCITEMENT.
(From the New York Weekly.J

My friend, johnson, has an establishment for
the manufacture of jewelry and silver-ware in
Boston. Sometime ago he sold a bill of goods to
a dealer in Augusta, Maine. About q month after
ward his partner was on a visit to Bangor, and
while there johnson wrote TO him to this effect
IL have heard nothing of that jewelry | sent
to Augusta. If you are around that way stop
and inquire IT it was received oil right.
He put the letter in his pocket and forgot to
mail it. Next day he left the coat at home, and Mrs.
johnson, as usual, went through the pockets, and
she found the letter. When Johnson came home
that afternoon and opened the front door, he was
amazed to see Mrs. Johnson with her bonnet on
and an umbrella and band box in her hand, sitting
in the hall on a trunk, looking a. if she had about
twelve hundred pounds pressure OF rage to the
square inch. He said:

johnson put her umbrella gently in tho rack and
carried her trunk upstairs while she gave play
to her foolings. She didn't go homo to her

Johnson's shirts that he had been trying in vain
for q month to induce her to repair.

4 fearful suicide occurred in Paris the
other day. Gerard Anthoine called his
little boy, aged six, to him, and said ::
Little one, you have often wished to
play with this pistol" showing the child
an old pistol. 80, yes, papa" We'll,
we will plny with it now" and loading
the weapon, the fnther handed it to the
boy. Now, look" he said, II will get
down on my knees before you; you will

pull the trigger; you'll see how funny it
IL" and he knelt down. "Aim we'll, in
the head. between the eyes," he said
again; ''but first embrace me-" The
poor child embraced his father, and then
pointed the pistol MS told, and fired.
Gerard fell back dead, and the boy see
ing the terrible result, ran out of the
room sobbing.

Too BAD.-It il with feelings OF
sorrow for the misfortunes OF
poor but honest miner and pros
pector, that we call attention to the
loss sustained some time recently,
by poor man well known to us
all. 1t is hard-very hard for
poor laboring man to strive for
wears, in the heat of an arid sum-
mer and the slect and snow OF
many hard winter. to accumulate
an independence for his wife and
little ones, and then, after the oh
ject is at last gained-the acme OF
his hopes at last reached, and the
soft smiles of fortunes goddess are
beginning to cheer his evening of
life-to have lost his little oil in
moment, rs it were, of sudden and
terrible affliction-or, worse still,
to have some merciless wretch,
with ruthless. unrelenting hand, in
the darkness of night, perhaps,
invade his peaceful home and
despoil him of the boarded treas
ure. But such is fate! Affection.
even to the wealthy, is deplored;
but while in their loss we can truly
sympathize. we feel that they have
enough and to spare. Not so with
the poor laborer, who realizes that
in that loss he is buried deep down
in the ruins of a, to him, colossal
fortune. He looks back on the
years of toll and hardship like one
in o waking dream. He even won
ders did he ever possess it, or was
it mirage OF the mind that has
suddenly vanished beneath cloud!
Like the visionary school boy who
dreams of clutching apples of gold
and wakes to find nothing in his
clenched hands but---empty air!
like the innocent girl, just budding
into beauty and maidenhood,
whose sleep-enchained mind HES
away to the fairy land of fountains
and flowers, leaving naught on the
couch of slumber but a painting,
restless torn, awakens to find that
the tinseled dress and tasseled hat
of her vision was but the frail tic
,tion of dream land, and has disap-
peared beyond recall 1t is thus,
we say, that the poor man, sudden
~ bereft of his mite, awakens to
the fact that he Is poor! 1t is thus
that Mr.. Saddler, commonly known
rs Prospecting Bill" the chin
musician and chief prospector of
Gum Boot Ravine," must have
felt as he last night woke up to find
himself again toppled off the ped
,estal of Cr9sus by the loss of

Smith and Tompkins, otherwise,
TOmpkins and Smith.

A party by the name of-well,-
"Tompkins" will do for our purpose
has boon companion and friend
who will not suddenly be identified
by the seldom and euphonious cog
nomen of 'sSmith." Tompkins and
Smith, are convivial fellows, as the
world goes. Smith is married; that
is, his wife can daily be seen spank
ing her marriage certificate not a
hundred miles from the Plaza. So
is Tompkins, and so is Mrs. Tomp-
kins. We have before remarked
that the respective heads of these
quiet. unassuming families are con-
vivial-that is, they at times might
have been drinking milk punch at
Joe Munckton's. We have never
seen Smith OF Tompkins ''the worse"
for milk punch. They are better for
drinking milk punch than anything
else we can remember now OF ever
having thought of. We don't know
that they were drunk last night.
We should be sorry to think so; but
when we saw Tompkins blow Smith's
nose and then wipe his own, we per-
mitted ourself to wink at friend
And when Smith said "Mizolest-
hic-girl shame Razuz Rich -zun!'
we made up our mind that Mrs.
Smith was going to have some trou-
BILE. Mrs. Smith did have trouble.
We don't know what became of
Tompkins. but We know Mrs Tomp-
kiuses disposition so well that we feel
certain that Tompkins had ell the
trouble. Smith started to take Tomp-
kins home, and vice versa. A pair
of steps leads up to Smiths domicil,
