England's Trouble.

England is, to use an expression of our
rural country-women, ina peck of trouble.
The Eastern question, the settlement of
which she assumed to dictate, is still un-
settled and promises to speedily breed a
quarrel. Afghanistan refuses to bow to ler
yoke. The stubborn Dutchmen who colo
nized the south of Africa, are in arms
against her. India is discontented. Ire
land is in almost open revolt. The British
empire is menaced on every hand.
Yet few believe that the empire is in real
danger. Englishmen delight in giving and
receiving blows, and always rise to the occa-
sion when fight is on hand. The threats
of Ireland seem to have hardened the tenn
per ofEngland, and it is determined to sup
press disturbances there. no matter what
the cost may be. 1t has got its mad
up, and will restore order throughout
the empire even if it has to resort to the
Warsaw plan. The result of this stubborn
ness of purpose will in all probability be
much expenditure of treasure, some she'd
ding of blood, and ultimate triumph.
But England will do well to remember
that her stubbornness has once been over
come. 1t may be again. Over hundred
years ago her arrogance and indifference to
the interests of her colonists forced rebellion
upon the most valuable of her colonies, and
in the fight that ensued she was compelled
to acknowledge American independence. If
she still holds that historical lesson to heart
she will be careful how she treats the Irish
grievance and do her best to put it away by
gentle means. Irish independence is not a
probability, but it is among the possibilities.

ssss The. Child,of theiSeventh.
Death Of the Adopted Daughter Of New
York's Crack Regiment

The daughter of the Seventh regiment, Mrs.
Dewitt Cowdry, is dead. Her father, Adja.
tant Diver, died when she was little girl;
and as she was motherless, Gen. Duryea, then
Colonel of the Seventh, standing by the coffin
of the dead man and seeing how friendless
and forlorn the sobblng child was, resolved to
adopt her as the daughter of the regiment.
The officers and men fell into the scheme most
heartily, and each man contributed annually
certain sum for her support and education.
This was not ALL The colonel of the regiment
took her into his own home and into the very
bosom of his family, of which she was made
loved and petted member. Together with
Gen. Duryea's own daughters she was care
fully educated at Union Hall Seminary, Ja-
maica, L. I. Gen. Duryea told Herald re-
porter OF memorable scene that took place in
the arsenal April %, 1855, when the regiment
formally and openly adopted her.
She was then only nine years old, and
lovely child. / had brought her in the even
ing at about o'clock to an exhibition gala
drill which took place in the presence OF q
large and brilliant throng of ladies' Nobody
knew that she was coming. The exercises
went on as usual, when suddenly gave out
the order, Parade rest!' While that COM
mand is in force the men must not move, even
III tne COMMANDER is away. Ihero they all
stood, rigid and apparently immovable, like
living statues, while retired. They did not
know what was coming, though 1 suppose
everyone thought that there was something In
the wind. In few. moments came back,
leading by the hand the regiments adopted
child. She stepped forward with a bright
smile, and it was indeed pleasure to all to
look at her. Naturally pretty and winsome,
she looked on this occasion her very best She
was dressed in the prevailing fashion of the
day, costumed trinity la nailitoirc In a short,
tight-itting dark green frock of the shape Of .
coat, with black buttons and high,
standing collar, and she looked the very picture
of childish beauty, added to which was GER
tain piquancy of military nonchalance, which
was extremely fascinating. Her appearance
was hailed with hearty pleasure. I intro
duced her in a few words to her protectors who
had been SO kind to her, and the child then
with the most graceful and engaging manner,
passed down the line, every member taking
her cordially by the hand and wishing her in a
few simple words, health, long life and hap
piness. 1t was a great scene. l shall never
forget it (Gen. Duryea's voice showed deep
emotion as he said this) how the ladies could
not restrain their joyful tears Of womanly SYM
pathy, how the soldiers were delighted on
learning their novel, paternal relation to the
interesting little creature before them, and
how the happy evening finally came to an end
with a long roll OF drums and tremendous
waving OF handkerchiefs.
Miss Diver married De Witt Clinton Cow
dry, son OF well known lawyer, on which oc-
cason the regiment gave her So, 900 as bridal
present.

The Nineteenth Century says that emil
grafton to America has drained away the
middle classes from Germany so that "the
millions who have gone have but accentu-
ated the difference between the toiling many
and the bureaucratic, aristocratic and mill
tary few who Cypress them-have, too, left
an almost impossible gap between the
wealthy landlord and the small owner or
laborer, between the hapd to mouth work
man and the capitalist class" The only
remedy accordingly left, in the opinion of
the lower German classes, is revolution.

In an address before the Young Mems
Central Republican Club of Brooklyn on
Thursday night Henry Ward Beecher dis
cussed among other things the press, say
ing: MANY and many of the newspapers
publish Objectionable news, and it was that
news which was greatly sought. Good
Christian citizens were seen stealthily buy
ing these newspapers to see what the devil
had done, and it was just because of that
that these papers sell. The great reason
why the papers were not better was because
the people did not want them any better"

SPRINGFIELD Republican: The New
Haven Journal and Courier disfgures itself
with the uglest kind of mourning lines be-
cause its chief proprietor is dead,-a very
poor way OF showing respect" Civilized
people no longer mar their faces when
friends die. Why should newspaper
make itself offensive in the sight of the lv-
ing? The appearance of the New Haven
newspaper is enough to make genuine
journalist turn in his grave, or to spoil the
breakfast of live reader.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York Tri-
bune calls attention to the fact that the men
who sign their names as follows: j. Hem
ry Smith or w. McGregor Brown, are crook
ed in their lives. Having been all my life
connected with financial institutions 1 have
had the fact brought to my attention. We
have always found that men who opened ac-
counts with us signing their names as above
needed watching. Of course 1 know there
are exceptions to this rule, but the public
eau set it down as well-established fact
that such men would better be let alone in
money matters"
