The Father Of G..rma an socialism.

~ uGH " Ssch ses0 SUCu0bbSuss
Prince Bismark's recent speech in the
Reichstag has directed attention TO the ge-
MUS, eccentricities and vices OF Frederick
LassalIe, the .ther of German Socialism
The closing scene in the agitator's career is
described by the Berlin correspondent of the
GLote London). In the summer of 1868,
Lassalle, who was very handsome man of
the Byron type, with dark eyes and luxu-
rient hair and beard, went for a short rest
to Switzerland. At Rigi Kuhn he met
Fraulien Won Donningen, the daughter OF
the Bavarian Minister at the German
Court, whose acquaintance he had made in
Berlin. The young Baroness, a very beau
tiful and intellectual woman, was, greatly
to the regret of her parents, an ardent sd-
mirer of Lassalle, with whom she finally
fell desperately in love They secretely en-
gagged themselves, when the Baroness, at The
earnest eDtreaties OF her father. broke with
Lassalle for some reason still unknown, and
betroihed herself to Baron Racovicz, a
Wallachian bojar. Lassalle challenged
him duel was fought in which the be-
trayed lover was mortally wounded. The
Countess Hatzfelt, Lassalle's client and
mistress, hurried to Switzerland and escort
ed the remains of her lover in triumph
back to Breslau; his native place

Wade Doe,u,, Wsu,,,.

Wade Hampton has relieved the mind
of the Northern Democrats. He declines
to be q candidate for nomination for the
Vice-Presidency in the next National
Convention; and thinks no Southern man
should be. He gives as his reason that
it is a place Of little power; that the
nomination of a Southern man for it
would be considered evidence that the
South was in haste to get control of the
Government; that this feeling would
solidiiy the North; and that it is wiser to
try to capture Congress, which ia the
seat of power.

OTTO AratttEY,

The Constantinople correspondent Of the
London Doiiy Nars writes that anarchy
prevails throughout the whole Ottoman
empire, and that, in both Europe and Asia,
ambitious men are taking advantage If tise
stste Of affairs 10 advance their own inter
ests. The case Of tao Enslishmep. who or
ganized Mohammtdan rebellion in the
Rhodope district against the government, is
given as an example. These men gathered
as IN army in the mountains and defed
both Turks and Russians. In the end the
Turks and Russians combined against them
and scattered their forces.

INCREASE OF THE ARMY.
Gen. Pope, regarded an increase of the
army as absolutely essential in view OF the
present and prospective troubles on the
Western border, the menacing attitude of
the Sioux on the North, and the Mexican
troubles on the Rio Grande. He REGARDED
10000 men a. positively the smallest num-
Der of which the army should increase, and
even a larger force than that was desirable.
At the present moment be had in his de-
partne 1t, which extended from the Missis-
sippi to Nevada and Arizona, and from the
Platte to the Rio Grande, barely 1000
men. II the Cheyennes snd Comanches
choose to rise at any moment, they could
overwhelm the force of United States troops
in charge Of them in less than nc time.
MEXICAN TROUBLES.
Gen. Pope saw no prospect of cessation
of the troubles on the Rio Grande. The
Diaz Government having acquired its pow
er by revolution, bad all it could do to sup
port itself at the capital, without looking
to depredations by its citizens on the bor-
der. He did not believe that it had tried
or would try to stop these depredations. be-
cause it really did rot have the power to do
so.
Gen. Pore said: "At the close of the
Mexican war | was on :he staff Of Gen.
Taylor. i and the rest of the officers of
the army were surprised at the Government
making the Rio Grsnde the boundary line,
becsuse it furnished DO barrier of protec-
tion to our citizens at all. We thought
that the boundary ought to be made at
Sierra Madre, Though which there are only
v few passes, all of which could be easily
guarded by a comparatively small body
Of troops. i do not think We will have any
cessation OF the troubles on the sout hern
border un'il We have made the Sierra
Madre the boundry line"

STANLEY MATTHEW'S,

The views Of Mr.. Stanley Matthews on
the result of the recent election in Ohio are
by no means lacking in discrimina ion
Tie does not regard The Greenback move
ment as having spent its force, but thinks
that it will go on until it has efiectually di-
vided the Democratic party. The New
York Times gives the views OF Mr.. Mat
thews, ss here stated, and says:
That it will go on, In spite of the appsren,
but not real, check which IL has received in
Ohio, is Very probable that ii will divide tue
Democracy in the National Convention of
thews is OF the opinion thai the movement
shoulo be fought persistently, but he must
know that the pesIiient silver bill, of which
lac as sconspicuous advocate, gave to the
Greenback' rs early all their recently DEM
OnstrAted strength. Having been taught by
Congress that that there was no sin in cheat
ing tue public creditor of IL 10 10 per cent of
his claim. they inferred that IL would he no
worse morally, and much better financial v
IN cheat him Of the whole.
Ii there is anything in the world that
can help the Greenback party, and give it
strength in quarters where it is now weak,
such articles as the one above from the
Times will have that effect. A dozen
speeches INF favor of fat money, by unknown
orators, will not strengthen the Greenback
party half as much as one tirade agains,
the silver dollar by the leading Republican
paper of the United States.
The people Of this country are in favor
OF the silver dollar, and they are in favor
of the substitution Of greenbacks for Ma
tional Bank notes and just to the extent
that the New York Times opposed either of
these msaeures, it opposes the will of the
people, and weakers the Republican party.
Let it be distinctly understood that the
Republican party stands pledged to the
assassination of silver, and the retirement
of greenbscks in favor Of National Bank
notes, and it viii be impossible for "a
to carry one-third of the electoral college

How Rcspecla bic " omen Behave In

Two women, said by the correspondent of
a Cincinnati paper to be respectable, but
evidently candidates for the asylum for the
feeble-minded, were picked up on the street
by couple of fellows in indianapolis Mon
day evening, and taken riding around
town. About II o'clock the whole party
was arrested, and taken to the police sta
tion, the men on a charge of passing coun-
terfeit money. The respectable women"
were in terrible state Of alarm and re-
morse when they found out what their folly
had brought them to. They were finally
discharged with warning.

The International Peace COnxres.
al Paris.
New York Times, I3


A few days ago there gathered in one oil
the wings of the old Palace of the Tuiler-
les in Paris an Intern .tional Peace Con.
gress. 1t was made up OF delegates from
the Peace Societies OF eight of the most
highly y-civilized countries of the world, all
but one of them be .onging to Europe, and
was one Of the incidents of the great dis
play Of the trophies OF peace of which the
capital is now the scene. The Congress
attracts little attention. as all such gather
ings, do, and, while its objects must meet
the approval of all thinking men. there
are few who are not apt TO regard those
objects as almost chimerical. 1t is true
that it is to the last degree desirable
that wars should end, and in
ternational disputes find a Just
solution before some peaceful tribunal.
Arbitration ought 10 be successful, and na-
tions should learn that peace can always be
had With honor, If all Governments are dis
posed to do right No one pretends to deny
that war is barbarous and full of horrors
II Is easy to prove itsenormous cost, and to
show ho~ it drains the energies Of nations
and burdens the people with the weight Of
unnecessary taxation, and yet the sad con-
viction is forced upon almost every mind
that what might be will no, be that arbi-
tration is unequal to the task OF satisfying
the parties to bitter disputes, and with no
power to enforce its DEGREES or to pass judg-
ment at the petition Of one party, it cannot
prevent wars. No tribunal could be estab-
lished that would bind the nations that
were Its creators. and if some undertook to
enforce its conclusions as against Others,
the result would be war and not peace
There could be no civil or criminal process
executed against whole people, and no
penalty or judgment exacted upon a sover-
eign State. Peace Congressmen may dis
cuss what ought to be among men, and
adopt resolutions that embody exalted
principles of national conduct, but nations
will continue to be swayed by the passions
Of great populations and the ambitions of
rulers. Good men long for peace, bat the
history of the world is made up of records
Of war. The gates of the Temple of Janus
are ever open, and the plumed troops make
up the one captivating pageant of the
world.
