Because the loving nightngales
Sang their thorns all night;

bis present policy, will no longer be able
to depend. A military pronuneiamiento,
such a. is. even now feared, would over
turn the authority of the Car, and might.
possibly destroy the fortunes of his family.
Under these circumstances, the audacity
of the Czarewitch in demanding the iDitia-
ton. of a Constitutional regime is pardon.
able, though it is doubtful whether the
step he has taken will fayouYably influence
the mind Of. the Gar In this difficult crisis.
Politicians here. though greatly interested
in Russian affairs. seem disposed, for the
moment, to maintain a diplomatic silence
with reference to this new quarrel.
And from Pesth we learn the follow.
ing -
The Poster Correspondents publishes a
letter from st. Petersburg, which contains
the following statements:-
Most serious differences have arisen
between the Gar and the Czarewitch, the
latter decisively demanding Constitutional
reforms, which the Emperor refuses to
grant. The Czarewitch based his request
on the ground that the Emperor must not
by resistance compromise the future of his
dynasty. General Drentch had already
received orders for arresting the Care
witch. which were only countermanded
on the receipt of a. telegram from the
Czarina."
The letter adds -" The Car has receiv-
ed a copy of a petition which will shortly
be presented to him by the Senate. de.
manding, in firm language, that his Males
ty, by granting rights and liberties, should
make the people themselves the guardians
of the Empires greatness. A report
drawn up by the Generals of the Army
insists, 10 view of the feeling among the
officers, upon the necessity of proclaiming
q Constitution, and threatens a pronunci0-
mieY%o in case the present repressive mea-
sures are persisted in."-&. Tnome Tiidemde.

IRELAND AND THE AMERICAN
IRISH.


The copious reports of Irish political
affairs published in the United State deep
ly interest Isish Americans, but no impor-
tant movement has beer made yet. The
New York Herald has q strong article
counselliug the Irish in America not to
part with their hard earnings to aid Mr..
ParnelI's schemes. 1t says that "if Mr..
Parnell could carry ont his crazy pro-
gramme, mud cabins would be as numer-
Gus ten years hence in Iseland as in 1s41.
What we say, therefore, to the Irish of
the United States is not TO give one ceut
for Mr.. Parnell and his crowd. but millions
to help emigration to this country. Here
is room for oil who come !; cheap fertile
lands every Irish family may easily. with
industry and economy, own its own acres ;
here ia work at good wages /; no landlords,
no bailitfs ; but let US have no Fenian nom
seuse. no proposition to free Ireland by
professions 5000 miles off. That does no
good ; 1t only fills adventurers' and demago.
guos' pockets" The Herald rightly
represents the general American senti-
ment on the subject. No probability exists
ofIrish Americans contributing any consi-
derable sum ia Mr.. Parnell's aid.-T;mes,

Wonders OF the Telegraph.

The Photograph does not require the
route to be kept open. The line of
communication cannot be cut, for the
simple reason that the signaling takes
place over the heads of the enemy and
the stations required are few and far
between. A ten-inch mirror, and this
is the diameterOf the ordinary field hell
ograph. is capable of rejecting the sun S
rays in the form of bright spot, or
flare, to a distance of fifty miles, the
signal at this interval being recognizable
without the aid of a glass. That is to
say, two trained sappers, each provided
with mirror, can readily speak to one
another, suppOsing the sun is shining,
with an interval of fifty miles between
them, providing their stations are suffi-
GENTLY high and no rising ground in
tervenes to stop the rays. The adjust
ment of the military photograph is a
very simple matter. An army leaves
its base where a Photograph station i:
located, and after travelling some miles
desires to communicate with the stay
at-homes. A hill in the locality is
chosen and sapper ascends with his
heliograph, which is simply stand
bearing a mirror swung like the ordi-
nary toilet looking-glass, except that
besides swinging horizontally it is also
pivoted so as to move vertically as well.
Behind the mirror. in the very center,
little of the quicksilver has been re-
moved, so that the sapper can 90 be-
hind his instrument and look through a
tiny hole in it towards the station he
desires to signal. Having sighted the
station by adjusting the mirror, he next
proceeds to set up in front of the hell
ograph a rod, and upon this rod is a
movable stud. This stud is manipula-
ted like the foresight of a rifle, and the
sapper, again standing behind his in
strument, directs the adjustment of this
stud until the hole in the mirror, the
stud and the distant station are in line.
The Photograph is then ready to work,
and in order to flash signals so that they
may be seen at a distance the sapper
has only to take care that his mirror re-
fleets the sunshine on the stud Just in
front of him. He may then be quite
sure that his distant brothers can see
them too.-LOndOn Telegraph.
