Inc danger of war between England
and China seems now to be averted, but it
would be a singular thing and put an en-
tirely new face on affairs if such a strug-
gle should be ente red upon and Eugland
be worsted in it. The possibility of such a
calamity dawned in a vague way upon the
intellect of the London Spectator @ year or
so ago, when that very speculative journal
gave picture OF the vast resources of
China, the hardihood of it's soldiers, their
frugal military menGge and general ability,
and ended all by showing that, should the
Celestial Empire adopt the Prussin system,
it could put $4,000, 600 of men into the
field, with WHOM it might possibly be able
to overrun and subjugate Western Europe.
Such Monaghan incursion is far enough
ayay, we are in the habit of thinking but
as stran2e things as this have happened be-
fore. That the Goths should ever overrun
Rome would never lave been believed in
C@sar's time, yet Alaric came at last; the
Cossacks were once dread to the en-
pires southeast of the Urals, yet there they
are now steadily advancing, and are des-
tined to work wonderful changes in all
the polity of that vast region upon which
England has laid its stern hand. 1t would
be strange indeed, but not impossible, for
China to wake from its lethargy at last,
and even in the death throes of its i'm
memorial civilization, to sweep over the
West.

MIR. Stephens Health.

The Augusta (Ga.) Constitution
alist of the 22nd inst, says:
From Col. Clarence Stephens, of
Charlottesville, we learn that the
present condition of Hon. Alexan-
der Ill. Stephens excites the great
est apprehension of his friends -
Even the Great Commoner' him
self feels that thestat of his health
is such that he cannot continue
with us long. His present condi-
ton is not brought around by any
special complaint, but is a general
breaking down of the whole sys-
tenn. The same information was
given us by distinguished ply
stefan, but at the same time we did
not feel justified in making the
statement in positive terms, but
now, that Mr.. Stephens himself
feels the precariousness of his con-
dition, it is proper that his friends
and the people of Georgia should
know it -

Her Love Had Wanted.
Detroit Free Press.

They came out Of a Michigan
avenue store, he carrying Il big
Jug, and as they reached the side
walk he said: Now, Dolly, you
carry the jug and give me that
quarter of pound Of tea.'
SAD Ike to- see myself" she re-
billed: !.
"Doiiy do you want to see your
husband Juggling an old brown
jug through the crowded streets of
the met ropolis-do you want 9TH
ers to see him."
"Come along with that Jug I"
she exclaimed.
"Dolly, there's a gallon of molas-
SEES in here, and we know it, bat
everybody else will think it is
whiskey if I carry it,"
"Let 'em think"
dolly, If you love me you will
carry the Jug"
II won't carry it,"
"'Then | wontt I've got twice as
much character to sustain as you
have.o
"Snstain it then" she said as
she started for the wagon around
the corner.
He called to her but she did not
answer. Giving the big jug a ter.
rife swing into the air, he let &C
his hold and it came down with
an awful crash.
"Lassess is nothing to princi
ple!" he explained to the little
crowd, and then followed on after
Dolly.

The Innocent Father.

Hundreds of people remarked
yesterday that it felt just like
spring weather. The sunshine and
warmth, aud the public express
sions probably put the idea into
the Startling boys head.1 RHe came
down town and bought q stuffed
robin at a bird store, went down
home and placed it on the limb of
a shade tree. and when the father
came home for dinner his atten-
ton was called to the fact that the
spring birds had returned,
"Good gracious me! he exclaim-
ed, as he put on the spectacles and
and saw the robin.
"Winter is over, isn't it," in
CURED Mrs Starting"
"Of course it is. Well, that GER
tainly beats me. You might as
well take that money / laid by
for more coal and fix the children
up with new Shoes"
While the old man was combing
his hair for dinner Tom had put
the bird on the gate post, and his
father saw the second robin and
exclaimed:
ELIZA, if any poor folks come
around here, give 'em half those
taters in the cellar, for the weather
will be hotter'n blazes in less than
q month.
Before the innocent man showed
back from the table the bird was
roosting on hrub, but careless
handling had pulled all the tail
feathers out.
THAT can't be robin" unused
the.old man, as he put on his hat
and went out and lifted the bird
from tine limb. While he was
lifting, Tom was flying down the
alley. How he came out last night
the public may never know.

A Brave little Fellow.

Yesterday little boy not quite
eight years old, son of Mrs. Ahern
of this city, fell into a well twenty
five feet deep, containing twelve
feet of water, and drawing tenn
porary windlass with him in his
fall. After sinking twice, wonder
full as it may seem, the little fell
low succeeded, unaided and alone,
i'll reaching the surface, by actual
ly climbing up the stones lining
the perpendicular sides. Save be-
ing thoroughly chilled, the brave
boy seems none the Worse, and his
first exclamation was, God bless

From the Austin Gazette.
A party ofmen came down from
Llano county yesterday, and were
drinking i'm the saloon next door
above the Capitol store. One of
them whose name is Hammer, said
that he could whip any man in
Austin who had on stove-pipe
hat. They got very excited, and
drawing their pistols laid them on
the bar counter. Finally, leaving
the saloon, some one met Ben
Thompson and told him about the
threats the men had made. Mr..
Thompson went to his room, and,
putting on silk hat. returned to
the saloon. When the parties from
Llano returned, Thompson was
talking in jovial way about be-
ing a northern man on tour for
his health, but that he believed he
could whip any man in Texas
Hammer said, "You do? Well,
you are the man for me-" at the
same time drawing a six-shooter.
But before he could cock it Thomp-
son fred at him, the ball entering
near his ear and coming out at the
back of his neck. Hammer then
started across the street, still trying
to cock his pistol, when Thomp-
son fired a second time, the ball
taking effect in Hammers back
Officers coming arrested the par
ties, who gave bond for their APP
pearance at the Mayors Court.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Mr.. Blaine seems to have a good
many friends in Illinois, as well as
in Winconsin and Minnesota. A
Republican conference was held in
Chicago, on Tuesday lat which lead
ing men from all parts Of the State
were present. A comparison of
views showed that Mr.. Blaine was
the almost unanimous choice for the
Presidency. The Chicago Tribune
says if the 'men present really reflect
the popular sentiment of the party,
Illinois will be represented at Gin
cinnati by large delegation solid
for Blaine for President A sig
nificant feature of the gathering was
the presence of about fifty men who
left the party in 1872. Washburns's
admirers were surprised to find SO
few men in his favor.
Again sound of wrath and wall
ing comes from the home of the rag
baby in Cincinnati. The prodigious
noise by the deciples in Connecticut
had led the infants patrons to expect
a soft-money platform for the Demo-
cratic Convention. When, there
fore, a hard money platform came
over the wires as the unanimous ex-
preston Of the brethren in the Nut
meg State, there was fearful gnash-
ing OF teeth in the Enquirer office.
The editor thus vented himself the
next morning;
"This i the most fascally and
knavish declaration put before the
people. Upon such a platform we
trust that the Democrats of Connec-
ticut will be ANONYMOUSLY beaten.
When the name of Democracy is
used to carry out the schemes of the
bankers and bondholders and oppres-
sors of the people, the organization
which sails under these colors should
be first beaten and then kicked into
oblivion Let no Democrat in Con-
necticut who believes In greenbacks,
and who desires to see return of
better times vote the ticket put forth
by these swindlers yesterday. The
place to reach them is the polls. If
we are to have commercial ruin and
disaster to please the money lords,
let the Republican party bring it
about"
fever the Democratic party comes
into power in this country it will be
in spite of rather than with the aid
of the Bourbon element of which the
Hon. Ran. Tucker, of Virginia,i is an
exponent. Every such speech as that
| delivered by him in Congress recent
ly is just that much in aid of the
success of the Republican party.
The Louisville C0Tier-Journdl 1.-THE
leading southernDemocratic journal)
comprehends the situation exactly,
and after reading fuckers speech,
turns away sick at heart. Itsays:
che and his class do not seem to
see that the earth is slipping away
from beneath their feet, leaving them
nothing to stand ON. They have
hitched themselves to a broken cart
wheel. They use the language of a
by-gone era, which is but jargon to
the present generation. There is
every likelihood that the next House
will be hopelessly Radical, land Who'll
ly and solely because of their lack of
penetration. They forget nothing.
They learn nothing. They talk and
talk, while, the other side HES off
with swag. Thus they have allowed
themselves to be'beaten, overreached
and turned upside down OH their
particular ground. Even their
friends are sick and despondent.'

A New Game ofDraw Poker

"A young man of this neighbour
hood visited his intended one day
last week, and she struck at him
with a poker. For this he kissed
her, and just then she blushed and
her mother entered the room and
asked the young man what had
happened. He replied: "Oh, she
has been fighting me again with
that poker. Since that day every
girl around here draws a poker on
any young man who may chance
tocall f; aud draw poker" is the
game most played in these parts.

Headquarters. Big Horn and Yellow
stone expedition, camp on Goose Greek,
Wyoming, July 10th via Ft. Fetterman,

got to say when | despatched my last
courier that | had sent out Lieut.. Sibley,
on the 9th, with small detachment of
the Second cavalry to escort my guide,
Frank Geaard, in making a reconnaissance
The party came on the 7th to a point near
where the Little Big Horn debouched from
the mountains. They encountered Sioux
in strong force and saw enough to convince
them that the main village of hostiles is
not far from that point They succeeded
in making their escape only after abandon
ing their animals and marching across the
rugged foot hills Of the Big Horn Noun
tains. The men were nearly exhausted
when they reached camp. Lieut.. Sibley
and Frank GeuarG, the guide, are entitled
to great credit for the manner in which
they carried out my instructions, and for
tie coolness and Judgment displayed in
saving the detachment when surrounded
by largely superior force of the enemy.
Mr.. Ferrerty, Mr. Burrier, and Jim
Traynor accompanied Lieut.. Sibley, as
volunteers, and behaved well.
