The Impending European War.

Logically, every nation on the Contin-
ent is interested in the maintenance of
peace; and yet on all sides nations are
arming, as though war were imminent.
Where, and on what pretext, war will
first break out, no one, except perhaps
Bismarck, can form well. grounded
idea. The German Chancellor would
prefer the adjournment of hostilities for
another two years, when the German
army will be strong enough to crush all
opposition before its enemy can mobil-
ize. But his scheme is fathomed by his
adversaries, who appreciate the danger
OF delays, from which they have naught
to gain, and it is doubtful whether they
will fall into the trap. Russia and
France are the Princes bugbears, and it
was in anticipation of a possible alliance
between these Powers that he concluded
an arrangement at Vienna with Austria,
and a fortnight ago sent the Crown
Prince to Italy to detach King Humbert
from his half-formed engagements with
the Cabinet of St. Petersburg. There
are various statements of the purpose of
this journey, but l am inclined to suppose
that young Germany's mission is to tell
tiiC 4tetllslu DONtIclSu bustu IL u6 dilOWSl
his people to stir, their last state will be
worse than the first, as not only they
will lose Venetia, but it will see their
newborn unity broken up in favor of
the ancient petty rulers of the Peninsula.
The Italians show great alarm at Aus
tria's preparations along their Alpine
frontier, where strong system. of
Notifications commands the Valleys of
the Adige, and renders an Italian inva-
sion of the Trent and the Tyrol impos-
sible. But they take no counter pre-
cautions, although the party of action
is organizing. and the new organ of the
Italia iYredenta assumes as its platform
that not only the Trentino, Trieste. Nice,
and Savoy, but Corsica also should re-
turn to the possession of the Italians.
Claims such as these are, in theory, re-
diculous. Similar aspirations have no
chance of realization apparently and
yet if Prince Won Bismarck succeeds in
drawing Italy into the Austro- German
alliance, which is by no means impossi-
BILE, should the terms proposed be
sufficiently tempting, it is quite on, the
cards that the next move will be an in
vasion of French territory by the Ital-
ians, who will be backed up, eventually,
by all the forces of the German Empire.

A Devoted Hen.

In my fathers poultry yard was a
game cock, the most beautiful bird of
the kind ever saw He had several
wives, and it was a curious thing to see
the different airs and graces of the Ia
dies Of his train. He was an inveterate
fighter, if he could escape from the
yard, which was, surrounded by high
wall. BY some means an accident had
happened to his foot, and he became
lame. My brother, who was medical
student, advised us to poultice it.
Mamma undertaking this, Ralph came
every morning to have his foot dressed,
and, though evidently suffering very
much, allowed her to attend to it. But
no improvement came, and the poor
bird began to droop. .61ra SD isf'f'ili
One day we heard loud noise; a IA
nous game cock had come into the yard
when the gate was left open, attacked
Ralph, and had beaten him severely. He
was sorely injured, though, he had de-
Tended himself WELL Mamma picked
him up and carried him away, but next
morning he was out, in the yard warm
ing himself in the sum- was very glad
was there to see what 1 then saw, orr
could not have believed it. Ralph had
been beaten! He was no longer to be
honored by his faithless wives. They
came first one by one, and then alto
gether, looking with all the contempt
they could display. One and another,
pecked at him, and at last the prettiest
and his favorite, went straight up to
him and gave him a severe dab near the
eye. ,f.s,.- -.
But there was one faithful friend
among them, an awkward, bustling
brown hen, with no pretensions to
beauty, who flew to his rescue, stood
resolutely before the PROSTATE bird-for
he had sunk to the ground, as if heart
broken-and sheltered him with her
wings. 1t was useless to leave him in
the poultry-yard, so he and bis faithful
brown hen were placed IN the garden,
the tool-house being left open for them
through the night. Some weeks passed
and Ralph grew weaker, till one morn
ing we found him dead. A grave was
dug, and his faithful wife saw him
placed in it, She was taken b, .ck to the
yard, but she never rallied; and a few
days afterward we saw her lying cold
and lifeless on the spot where the friend
OF her generous heart lay buried

MIR. PARNELL did rather neat stroke
at Iittsburg, according to the Ieleqraph
OF that city. He had been WORKING
hard and was very tired. Accordingly
ne had it arranged so that he arrived at
the Union Depot on the Cincinnati
Express, at Sill a. m, was met by a
couple OF gentlemen who were in his
confidence, and proceeded to a hotel.
where he had his dinner. He then went
TO the Union Depot again and pretended
tnat ne ns came In on the Pacific Express,
at 1:zo P. M, thus getting several
nours OF quietness and rest. Nobody
knew OF this little stratagem except the
gentleme referred to.
