It is the curse of the Continental system of standing armies that it's very existence is constant threat to the peace of Europe, the habit of carrying deadly weapon among in- dividuals is fertile in homicides, so the enor- nous military establishments of Germany, France, Austria and Russia are productive of wars and rumors of war. Just now there are threatenings of trouble between Germany and Russia, In the various dismemberments of Poland that began about century ago, Rus sia took the lion's share of the odium, and of the spells. After the overthrow of Napoleon I, Prussia paid forher acquisitions in the heart of Germany with considerable session to Russia on her eastern frontier. It seemed at the time, and probably was, a good bargain, but Bismarck looks with longing eye on any land that was ever Prussian. Apparently Russia was never worse prepared, nor Germa- ny better prepared for war. Still, the memo ry of the campaign of 1872 is constant threat of disaster to the invader of Russia. Bismarck is not as strong as was Napoleon at the out set of the Moscow campaign, nor Alexander II as weak as Alexander I.

Legislative Items.

A bill was offered by Mir. Hollister in the House, last week, providing that, after April, superior court terms in Litchfield county shall be held on the first Tuesday of June for the trial of civil causes by the court only; on the third Tuesday in August and first Tuesday in on the first Tuesday of April and second Tuesday of October for criminal business ex- clusively. This measure is of prime impor- tauce to the conduct of business in our Supe- rior Court It proceeds upon the belief that tuere must be separation of civil from crim- inal terms, ia ordef to have any of our civil business properly attended to. It also pro- ceeds upon the belief that, during winter, the time of judges is so much taken up in our cities, and the difficulties of travel over our roads is so much increased, that it is prefera- ble to transact our court business as far as possible in summer and fall.
 We are glad to see bills for extending mi uority representation to the election of justices grand jurors and constables, introduced into the House. They ought, in all consistency, to pass without opposition.

tue cOnSerVatlVe DENOMINATIONS. Wh0 neiQ to moderate indulgence in 1S4O, hold to moder- ate indul gence to-day. Forty years of tem- perance campaigns and crusades have not moved them and,- till they are moved, total abstiaenes can never claim to be tenet of the christian faith, nor can it receive that support of the popular majority which would fairly entitle it to force it's practice on what would then have become a criminal minority.
 How then can conservative christianity be reached2 To convince them that total absti- hence is a christian duty has proved lmpossi- ble. Is 1t not possible to convince them that it is a social duty, to which the man who is good citizen in the America of 1880 should yield his assent? If the question can only be removed from the stagnant waters of theolog- ical discussion to the domain of practical, pro- gressive morality, will not the battle be sub- stantially won, even If it is secular rather than religious victory?
 Is it not wisest and safest, then, to concede that Total Abstinence is question for the statesman (assisted as he deserves to be by the progressive church) rather than for the theo- logian. We can u en move forward in the mid- de current of secular progress. There we see the political and even the moral reforms of one period outgrown and superseded in the next. More than this, we see the reforms of an older stage of progress fossilize into the stumbling blocks ot a younger. We see how feudalism, which came in as blessing went out as curse; how despotism, following feu- dalism. R now being pressed to the wall by republicanism. AS tbe world moves on, social modes that were st first beneficial mere- ly permissible e-beceme absolutely hurtful,

AN APT PUPIL.

Not long since smart-looking young man
from one OF the upper counties came to this
city, and soon afterwards was arrested for a
petit larceny committed here. He indig-
nantly denied being guilty and laughed at
the suggestion of Henry L. Buckley, who
was then City Attorney, that he should plead
guilty. In due course of time he was ar
raigned in the Police Court, and as he rose to
deny the charge he saw the Sheriff of Plumas
county, the very man of all the world whom
he cared the least to see. His reply was un-
expectedly uttered, "Guilty and am willing
to waive time" He was sent to jail for
several months and left the baffied Sheriff to
explain to the officers why the prisoner had so
suddenly changed his intention. Before
coming to this city he had hired a horse and
buggy at Quincy stable, drove out
through the hills about ten miles, sold the
horse and buggy, pocketed the coin and
disappeared. A warrant was issued charg-
ing him with grand larceny, and the Sheriff
learning his whereabouts, arrived here in
search of him after the local authorities had
claim on him, and the prisoner, hoping
that if sent to the County Jail he might
serve his term and be discharged without the
IA bhltCtt3 uftti piS.&'tCu
guilty. The mountain Sheriff. however, could
not be eluded in such an easy manner, and be-
fore leaving took notice of the probable time
of the prisoners discharge. After the young
man was incarcerated in Jail be made himself
agreeable TO the inmates and officers, and one
day said to the City Attorney, g believe |
would be good lawyer and | hope you will
lend me some books. | can thus improve
myself and make time pass rapidly" This
request met with favorable promise, which,
however, was forgotten by the attorney. In
tent on his purpose, however, the prisoner
borrowed from the jailer an old copy
of the statutes of the State. When
the time for which he was impris-
oned expired, the Plumas Sheriff put
in an appearance and triumphantly carried
away his prisoner. Nothing more was known
Of the case until recently, when, as the
former City Attorney, now the District At
torney, was walking along j street, he met
the young man whom he had imagined was
in San Quentin, Noticing the astonishment
of the attorney, the former prisoner said
/ know you wonder how I escaped | was

and none of them up there knew enough
about law to go after me again for embezze-
ment. That's how got away. [ am going
to get set of law books and go up there and
practice law" He moved on, and was seen
to enter bookstore, apparently with the in
tention of purchasing library and beginning
a business in which he could exercise his
native shrewdness.
