EUROPE AND ASH.

For many ages there has been an
lrrepressible conflict between Asia
and Europe. The Romans and tho
Greeks made great forays in the
East, but the East has in turn made
Europe tremble. 1t is claimed for
tho Crusados that, though disas-
trous and unsuccessful, in many
ways, one grand object WAS attained
and that tho orippling Of u power
which meDnced Europe with invasion
and possible overthrow. The Sara
cen conquests are the marvels Of
history. The Mohamm odan onset not
only captured tho city of G Constantine,
but seized upon part of Spain, and
was only batlled back in the heart
of France and at the gates of
yiopna In later days Russia has
sought dominion in the East and so
has Great Britain. Their conquests
have been mighty and their rivalry,
III consequence, inevitable. Even
now Broat Britain is spoken
Of as the "greatest NTohammedan
power in tho world" because her
Indian empire justities that title. IF
Russia should have and keep the
prestige now belonging to England
in the Orient, the decadence of the
latter power is u more question of
time
The British conquest of India is
at once the most romantic, as it is
ono of the bloodiest and most dis
honest, of warlike and civic achieve-
ments. Macaulay, in his sketches
of Lord Give and Warren Hastings,
has brilliantly recalled that marvel
GUS accomplishment showing how q
mere handful Of mon Of u superior
race, encouraged by mighty power,
subjugated millions Of inferior peo--
pie. India contains about 1,5OO,-
600 square miles, 2OO,O00,O00 of in
habitants, and yields prodigious
revenue. The native army is csti-
mated at 315,OOO soldiers of all
arms, principally commanded by
English officers. This Sepoy army
is sal" to be highly efficient, but
hitherto it has mover been employed
against Western soldiers. 1t seems
to be the determination of England
to use this Anglo Indian army
against Russia, and the experiment
is watched with interest. Many
persons predict that the Sepoys will
not stand against the Russians.
Others declare that they will prove
q match for the Cossacks, man to
man, but forever after, in conse,
quonce, become the principal dread
to England herself, when they re-
turn to Hindostnn.
Meanwhile, the Eastern question
assumes peculiar attitude. In
case of war ending with q triumph
of England, it may be safely as
sumed that Europe will have no
cause of apprehension: In case of
Russia's success, it is not so certain
but, under her leadership, the ASH
attic hordes may not some day pour
over Europe. We believe it is this
dread that, however remote, causos
a sympathy for Great Britain which
the Russian Gar does not now

Why He NEVER Wore A CoLLAR.-
It was fact observed by many that
Governor Briggs for several years
before his death mover wore collar.
When he was tho honored chief
magistrate of Massachusetts, he ap~
peared at his levees and on all pub
lie occasions without collar. There
.wero comparatively fow who knew
the reason Of this. But the secret
is moro interesting and suggestive.
Ho had u neighbor, whom he very
highly esteemed, who had fallen into
tho habit Of using Intoxicating
liquor. He was already the slave Of
appetite. Governor Briggs remon-
strated with him. The man replied,
81 will mover drink again, if you will
never again wear collar" agreed"
said the governor. The man gave
up the Intoxicating cup, and the
governor laid aside his collar. He
never wore it again, but he saved
his neighbor. The adverse criticisms
to which this seeming lack Of at
tention to his dress and personal
appearance exposed him, never
moved him from his purpose.--Chi-
