OUR EUROPEAN LETTER.
From our regulsrCorrespondeni.
BERLIN, Germany, Sept. q


Looking to the still unsettled state OF
more than one momcntous European ques-
ton, it is but natural considerable impor-
lance should be attached to the conferences
which have recently taken place at Gastein
between Prince Bismarck aud Count Andras-
sy, succeeding as they do, after so brief an
interval the interviews held in the same place
by the German and Austrian Emperors,
these confidential meetings, one Of which
is reported to have lasted FIVE hours and a
half, may fairly be regarded as significant
Of further closeness and cordially in the
relations that have some years past subsisted
between the two great Emperors Of Central
Europe. 1t seems highly probable that
an intimate mutual understanding,
virtually equivalent TO an alliance
may have been arrived at by William
and Francis Joseph who are not only con-
nected of family ties, but by the bonds of
sincere personal esteem. And it may
well be that the details of the Austro-Ger-
man programme of common action to be
tested in case certain potential contingencies
should accrue in the future, have
been fully discussed and indefinitely
settled by the German chancellor
and the Anti Hungarian Premier
during their protracted tcte-a-tetes
at Gastein. An Austro- German alliance has
intrinsic advantages strongly recommend
ing it to the sovereigns pd people of both
theEmpiresimmediately concerned, and pre-
sents no cause for alarm or dissatisfaction
to the rest Of civilized Europe. The com
pact, if attained is not likely to be greeted
with welcome or approved by Russia, t
whose aggressive projects it would offer al
insurmountable barrier. But that circum
stance would only enhance our appreciation
Of its value as guarantee of peace, orde
and progress to the culture-loving people o
the old world.
The retirement Of Prince William, tn,
eldest son of the German Crown Prince
and Her Magisty eldest grandson, from tn,
University Of Born was on the occasion o
a students fete on grand scale, in which
the native population joined with mucl
spirit, so far as the decoration of public
and private buildings and attendance a.

concerned. A procession was formed OF
the Ate Zoll, headed by the band of the
Emperor's Own Hussars, who had donnet
the regisnenta dress Of the historic Ora
goons Of Bayreath for the occasion. Stu
dents on horseback followed, bearing tn,
colors and wearing the uniforms of tire,

white, and red; the Prussians, in black

THE show of the Yelled Prophets, of
which the st. Louis papers have given
such voluminous descriptions, consisted Of
twenty-five floats. 1t was doubtless fine
thing; but twenty-five floats don't strike the
distant public as a very stupendous and
utterly overpowering turnout. 1t may
have been gorgeous and all that, but there
wasn't enough of it.

We are not of those who feel confident
Of Democratic victory in Ohio. In the
first place, the professed love and admira-
ton Tor the soldier, with which Republican
editors and orators are, as usual thing
stopping over, are nothing more substantial
than froth and gush. The Democratic SOL
dier ticket will receive the support of the
Democratic party, and nothing beyond or
outside Of that. Republican soldicr-lovers
will, to man, support calico Foster, and
by al the means they can employ, whethe,
fair Or foul, seek the defeat o
the soldier-stateman, General Ew

A number of persons were stationed
