No Cause for Alarm.

While the nations Of the Old World await
in anxious suspense the moment when the
hot breath Of war, already spreading devas-
tation along the banks of the Danube and
through the fields and mountain passes Of
Armenia, may wrap oil Europe in flames. q
small item Of news, flashed across the cable
from this side Of the Atlantic, may add to the
general CONSERVATION should it be suffered
to pass without explanation. 1t announced
that General Grant, the greatest commander
OF the age, has drawn his swords. Coupled
with the iac. that the distinguished soldier has
inst thrown off the cares OF state in his own
country and is about to visit Europe, such
an announcement may possibly excite the
apprehension of foreigners, and espe-
cially of our British cousins, whose eyes,
already magnifying the bear into de-
youring monster, may grow yet more terri
fed at the spectre of destroying eagle.
We therefore hasten to explain that General
Grant has only drawn his swords out OF
the United States Treasury vaults, where,
being of great value, they remained for
safe keeping during the ex-Presidents con-
nection with politics, the company found
around the White House rendering the pre-
caution prudent one. The swords are,
however, in their scabbards, and there let
us hope they may remain. General Grant
has none but pacific intentions in crossing
