AMI Russia.

The New York World gives prominent
place to a letter just received in this
country from a German statesman of the
highest position ip reference to the feel
ing in Germany concerning the eastern
question. After referring to the UNI
reasonable excitement caused in France
by the recent speech of Won Moltke, the
writer says: CAS- q matter of fact, in
this present question, Igis Russia which
most procedures US. We understand
perfectly well that Russia is our next
and most formidabs enemy, and we also
understand perfectly well how to disarm
and paralyze her. The present emperor
Of Russia is q sentimental simpleton,
without seIfpoise and without moral
courage. He has been driven into this
war WITH TurAh by the pressure of Rus
sian feeling, We IN Germany have per-
mitted him to engage in it, but we are
not such children as to permit him to
emerge from 1t either with honor OF with
accretions of strength. If he is terrified
by the attitude of England and Austria
into making peace, he will probably end
very suddenly-perhaps by suicide, per-
haps in the usual way in which Russian
public opinion vindicates itself against
incompetent emperors. If he persists in
making war, he will be Inundated and
Russia with him, by certain defeat, az
nothing can be more clear than that it is
In our interest to allow Austria, at the
critical moment, TO tail upon bis armies
and obliterate all recollections of the
Austro- Russian alliance of 1s49-50.
Peace OF defeat equally will mean the
accession to the Russian throne, under q
cloud of popular discomfort and under a
crushing weight Of financial burdens, Of
a prince who is known to be our special
enemy. tbs czarowtch. This is equi.
valent to acomplete notification Of Rus
sia, for ! generation to come, IN the affairs
Of Europe ; and what al yer hold out
any hope to France of the recovery Of
Lorraine and Algace except an alliance
with Russia? ~

THE GRANDPA.

The grandpa il an individual, aged
somewhere between fifty and one hun
dred years, and IL common occurance
in most well regulated familys.
Next to a healthy mother-in law, they
have more bizness on hand than emmy
other party in the household.
They are the standard authority on all
leading topieks, and what they don't
know about things that happened sixty
five yearsago, orWhat will happen for the
negt three years to come, il a damage for
everybody to kno.
Grandpas LIT not entirely useless;
they are handy to hold babies, and feed
pigs, and are very smart at mending
broken broom-handles or putting up the
clothes line on washing days.
I have seen grandpas that churn good,
but I konsider it q mighty mean trick to
set an old man over eighty years to
churning butter.
am willing to rock the baby while
wimmen folks are billing soap; I am
reddy to knt rags to work into rag-car-
pets; they kaa keep me hunting hens
eggs, or picking green k~urrants or ] will
even dip handles or kore apples for sass,
but I won't churn.
] have examined myself on the subject,
and will bet q jacknife that Josh Billings
won't churn.
Grandpas are poor help at bringing up
children; they are full Of preoept and
katekism, but the young one all seem to
understand that grandpa minds them q
heap more than they mind grandpa
Josh Billings.
