the tune rousse Uhe red April moonl which so
puzzled the great astronomer Laplace when Louis
"Mecaniqne Celesten Tor once found himself at
loss hence your correspondent may be excused
for not throwing any light on the subject, although
he humby suggests that Lame Russo would be the
proper spelling just now In accounting for the
bloody tint OF the satellites. What is OF more num-
dane Importance is the fact that the HERALD
weather kilograms and storm warnings are becom-
Ing the popular meteorological guide. Those who
couple OF weeks ago read TO scoff now take their
umbrellas when the HERALD cries storm and let's
loose low barometer.
WAR WEATHER GAUGE.
What Is badly wanted, however, is q war barom-
eter. The Partisan papers are little better than
the old amanacs that used TO say, "About this
time look ont for squalls" There Is certainly low
area over Bessarabia, which is advancing slowly on
the Valley OF the Danube, and heavy precipitation

silent, and the great northern meteor, with jagged
Cossack clouds for wings, moves threateningly on.
GERMANY AND RUSSIA.
The conviction Is general among dlplomatists
that secret treaty exists between Germany and
Russia 1t is admitted in all quarters that Russia
would never have dared to move II she did not hold
the most solemn guarantees from Germany that

course of Austria may be predicted as never oppos-
ing their desires.
France has informed the Porte that she does not
intend to send, like England, at present. an ambas-
sador to Constantinople.
COUNTING WITHOUT TURKEY.
The last expcdicnt suggested to prevent war is
device called parallel occupation is the
simultaneous invasion OF Turkey by Russia and
Austria. The only difficulty OF the scheme lies, to
use bull in It's one-sidedness since II leaves Tur-
keys probable action in the matter out OF the ques-
ton.
DOM PEDRO IN PARIS.
Ills Majesty Dom Pedro, Emperor OF Brazil, is the
great Partisan lion just now. His frankness, his
Industrious sightseeing, his avoidance OF ostenta-
ton or display, his magnificent physique are all
topics OF the hour. The Figaro of yesterday says
"If the United States had such ruler they would
abandon republican institutions at once"
"On the contrary" said light OF the American
colony on reading this piece Of nabby wisdom, III
we ever got such President we would stick to re-
publican institutions forcvcr.'
TALLEyRAND AND CAssAGNAC.
Paul de Cassagnac, the Bonapartist bully, has
attacked the Marquis de Talleyrand bitterly because
OF the atters conversion to republicansm. duel
was expected to grow out OF the affair. Both are
good shots. Cassagnac, however, could never hit

Paul was sentenced to two months imprisonment

ZEN BISHOPS MIGHT ERR.
TWO bishops arc occupying public attention this
week. one is bogus and has fallen into the hands
OF the police; the other real, but has been med
ding with what does not concern him. Imagine
the audacty OF this episcopal parsonage In writing
circular to the mayors all over France, cnJolning
them to support the pretensons OF the Pope to
temporal power. Apropos OF the clergy IL may bc
mentioned that Perc Hyacnthes lectures are a
success de curtosite, and no more.
Dues and suicides constitute the prevailing epl.
denies OF the week.
A NAIL BOAT WRECKED.
