We hardly expect our readers
to believe it, but the following ex-
tract is actually taken from the
editorial columns of that staunch
Republican organ, the Chicago
Tribune:
Military force is not a decision
of law. Armies are not Legisla-
lures to make law, nor courts to
try cases. The business of sol
dier is to kill and destroy The
troops, when ordered, are TO kill
all who oppose them; destroy all
that obstructs their path. They
decide no questions of law, nor
titles to Office or property. The

Louisiana since 1866 has been

were Withdrawn the Governors

popular strength, were erected in
their places. One day in LoIisi-

The Russians in the Hudson
River - All about Flowers :
Seeds, Plants and Boquets-
Moving a Landmark.
To the Editor of the Observer
New YORK, April 27, 1877.
Local events have this week
largely taken their color from
the bursting war cloud in Eu-
rope. Remote as is the actual
scene of action from us, we can
scarcely be said to disinterested
spectators to the developments
which the last few days have
inaugurated. Despite the ex-
pressed intention of the Europe
an powers to hold themselves
aloof from the strife between
Russia and Turkey, and thus
prevent the strife from being
more than a local one, the prob
ability is everywhere felt to be
strong, that unless the last alb
jcct appeal Of Turkey to the
treaty of Paris should prove of
some effect-and nothing could
be more unlikely-it will not be
many months beforej England,
Austria, Germany and perhaps
France and Italy, will be ranged
upon the side of one or the 9TH
er Of the present combatants.
The effect upon this country of
the stubborn general war that
would follow is easily to be
seen. The production of pro-
visions and of manufactured ar
ticles s practically asin g
throughout Europe, demands
upon the United States, the on
ly great producing nation left
with its hands free, for supplies
of every variety, would tax our
capacity to the utmost, and
give such a stimulus to our
manufactures as not even our own
war furnished.
With these ideas uppermost
in mind, Wall street and the
heavy manufacturing interests
have naturally been feverish and
excited. Gold has gone up
three OF four figures and bread
stuffs have followed suit. / pre-
sumo few are SO greedy and in
human as to desire to see the
whole of Europe plunged in
the horrors of war; but certain
it is that none Of us can help it
if such a state of things is
brought about, and therefore
need not hesitate to reap the
temporary harvest which It
would place ready to our hands.
The Russian fleet, which
brought the Grand Dukes to
this country, and which has
formed the great attraction to
the ferry passengers on the
North River for several weeks,
shows very evidently that it has
heard of disturbances on the
other side. On receipt of the
news of the declaration of war
the ships officers secured the
town for such members of their
crews as, having been allowed
leave to go on shore, had dis
ported themselves with the
characteristic abandon of Jack
Tar the world over, had got
drunk and been sent to various
limbos by the police justices.
The weather beaten truants
were reclaimed as rapidly as
possible, their fines being paid
out Of the treasury Of his i'm
perial majesty, the Gar of all
the Rnssias, and the feet now
lies with steam up awaiting and
rather expecting a telcgrapnic
recall to the Black Sea.
With the returning green of
our parks and trees attention
falls naturally upon the plant
and seed interests, which now
begin to be in enormous activ-
ity. Few people realize what a
business is done about here in
the raising and selling of flow
ers and seeds. Flower grow

To the door of his humble home,
To which the silent messenger
Before me had also come;
And if he had been titled prince,
Iwouldnct have been honored more
Than was with his heartfelt welcome
To his lowly cottage door.
Night falls again in the cottage,
They move in silence and dread
Around the room where the baby
Lies painting upon the bed.
"Does baby know papa, darling?"
And she moves her little face
With answer that shows she kuows him.
But scarce visible trace,

OF the wonderful infantile beauty
Remains as it was before;
The unseen, silent messenger
Had waited at their door.

The man bows low his face
And two swollen hands are lifted
In baby's last embrace.
And into her fathers grizzled beard
The little red fingers cling,
While her husky whispered tenderness
Tears from a rock would wiring,
"Baby--is-- -so--sick-papa--
But-don't-want--you--to--cry;"
The little hands fall on the coverlet,
Be-better--in-morn
And night around the baby is falling,
Settling down dark and dense;
Does God need their darling in heaven
That lie must carry her hence?
l prayed with tears in my voice,
As the corporal solemnly knelt
With grief such as never before
His great warm heart had felt.
Oh, frivolous men and women!
Do you know that round you, and high
Alike from the humble and hearty
Goeth up evermore the cry:
"My child, my precious, my darling,
