government of these empires. This
is revolution, democracy, atheism.
The other is that the affairs of Eu-
rope ought to be directed by those
three Emperors, the potentates of
Eastern Europe; that England,
France, Italy and the smaller king
doms are more or less democratic,
revolutionary, atheistic, etc., and
ought to be persistently kept out of
the International Council Board.
Then for the furtherance of these
two salutary purposes it is made of
primary importance that each of
them should keep on hand an inn
mense army to overawe resistance
to them at home or abroad.
Now, so long as this is confined to
sentiment and after-dinner talk, the
three Emperors are wonderfully
unanimous, but as soon as the "un-
derstanding" is attempted to be re-
allied in practice it is found that ii
won't work. The German Empe-
ror is in favor of giving every posi-
BILE advantage to Russia in the con-
ference; his people are all the other
way, and Prince Bismarck knows
that policy such as his master de
sires would lead to war, while the
German people are resolutely re
solved that war shall not take place
and England gains much more at
tention than Russia in the confer
ence.

seventy Years a Printer.

Yesterday the Bee was gracefully
dressed in mourning over the death
of Francois Delaup, its veteran foun-
der, who died at lineage of so years.
Born in San Domingo, he came to
this city at ten years of age, and at
once began to learn the printing bus
mess, at which he has continued
ever since, for the unprecedented pc
Rod of seventy years. Half CEN
fury ago last September he founded
the Bee. In few years its owner
ship passed out of his hands, but ne
has remained upon it ever since as
proof reader. The physical oonsti-
tuition that for so many years could
endure the exhausting night work
of this occupation must have been
remarkable,

LOST AND FOUND.

We have been requested several
times to give the origin Of the much
quoted
Consistency, thou art jewel.
We have been unable to furnish
the information, but expressed very
decidedly the opinion that it was
from no classical writer, English or
American. AT last a correspondent
of the New York Evening Post
finds it for US. AS his communica-
ton is very short we print it entire:
consistency, thou art jewell is the fl
male OF the refrain to an Old -fashioned satir-
ical song published in a miscellany OF bac-
chanalian and political dittieS, in England
about the beginning of the last century. The
conclusion OF the refrain ran:
Then let it pass. Upright's upright;
Honesty, thOu'rt a diamond bright;
Consistency, thou art jewel.
New York, July l, 1878. ABB.
This confirms our opinion that it
was from no classical author, and
settles the point. We cannot say
that weshould not of our own accord
have taken much trouble about it,
but a young lady was, for some
reason, curious about it, and cor
dered us up"
