A HISTORICAL PARALLEL.

The most striking feature of the will
of the Prince Imperial was that which it
was most natural to expect to find there
a strong pride in the name of Napo-
leon and a real faith in its cause. He
urges his mother to remember that $50
long as there are Bonapartes, the Impe
rial cause will have representatives, and
that the line will not end with him; ad-
great uncle and his father. and expresses
the hope that the time may come when
the bodies of the three Napoeons may
est together in the tomb now tenantcd
alone by the founder of the family. All
this is not to be wondered ut in the rep
reSentative of Il race which, with all its
great wickedness. has made the history
of Europe during good part of the last
century largely record of its acts. The
very circumstances attending the tragic
fate met by the young Prince. while fight
ing savagcS in South Africa under the
leadership of British general are. to an
American reader of history, strangely
suggestive 1t is not alone the Bourbons,
of whom it may be truthfully said, They
learn nothing and they forget nothing"
The remark applies equally well to Brit
ish general officers. In this whole blur
dering business of South Africa, we have
Chelmsford substituted for Braddock.
the black Zulus for the red North AmCri-
can Indians. and the chapter OF history
written in blood in the western forests
of Pennsylvania in the eighteen century
is repeated with CHASTITY minuteness by
this incident of a surprise by African
savagcs in this nineteenth century. The
sending out of the young Prince and his
fellows. as told in the accounts received,
was a disgrace to those who ordered or
permitted the foolish adventure. When
the particular incidents of the affair are
considered, another damaging fact is re-
vealed The Prince lost his only chance
of escape by the tearing of his saddle
flaps. 1t thus appears that the rotten
leather of contract saddle cost a valua-
BILE life and crushed the hopes of a dynas-
ty. The Old story of the loss of the horse
shoe nail. resulting in the loss of a king
dom, is thus foretold with fearful real
istic force. 1t seems 4 very mockcry Of
Fate. and yet it looks as if the two i'll
struments of fate were the inherited stu
pidity of regular British officers when
fighting with savagcs, and the iniquity
of the contract system, that curse of
all modern civilized governments. If
ever a searching investigation was de-
manded, it is called for in this case.
How can the British government, I'M
der whose protecting flag that widowed
mother entrusted her son, answer for
that young life so wantonly wasted and
what has it to say for the numberlcss
other lives of its own subjects, equally
dear to other mothers. which Lfssssszr1I,s|<c &c
sacrificed to the same J.oiIfClal stupidity

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CON.
VENTION.

The Republican State Executive Con :
mittee met III Baltimore, on Tuesday.
and selected September 18th as the date
Tor the assembling of the Republican
State Convention to nominate candidates
for State officers. Some discussion oc-
cured as 10 the expcdiency of fixing o
late day, but enough will have been
developed by the date in question to de
ter.nine the policy to be pursued by Il c
Republicans in the selection Of their
ticket. Notwithstanding the reported
disa 'iections in the Democratic ranks in
Baltimore, we doubt whether the pro
posed Independent movements will
finally amount to much. Democrats have
a pleasant habit of quarrcling over NOM
nations, but they generally manage to
close up the ranks by election day. We
believe the true course for the Republi-
cans to pursue is to nominate acceptable
Republicans on straightout Republican
ticket. and make vigorous campaign.
The result will show whether dissatisfied
Democrats are sincere OF not.

An Eloquent Temperance Sermon.

Mr.. EpIToR:-I was present on Sunday
evening last at the NJ. +. Church in this
town and listened to temperance ser
mon by Rev. Mr.. Smith. 1t is greatly to
he regretted that this entire community
did not hear his presentation of the sub
.jcct. The discourse throughout was
marked by those qualities for which the
reverend gentleman is noted-sounGness
of logic. vividncSs of conception, 70. &C of
illustration. and intense carncStncsS.-
The speaker drew from his text the prin-
ciple that the divine law, and that which
meets with the divine approval. is in
tended to promote the welfare of man
kind: from which it follows that. if that
law were fully carried out by men. the
evils and miSerieS that aillict the human
race would be removed. Hence it logic
ally follows also that the law which LEGAL
ICES and permits liquor selling. the end
of which is only evil. and evil continu-
ally. does not meet with the divine APP
prevail. and therefore ought not to exist.
( Having laid such foundation. he proceed
ed to illustrate the evil effects of the
license law. 1t Cby pcrmiSsion) DESTROYS
individuals, soul and body, and tends to
the destruction of society. 1t STILES the
conscience. deadenS the heart and mad
dens the brain. thus becoming the acceS-
sorry of all crime. The purchaser of rum
gets no equivalent for his money because
he receives that which only works his
ruin. The licensed seller. if entrcated or
rcproached because of the dire effects of
his trade, falls ~hs,rck on his license as
