The people of the United States throw
themselves every few year,; and often
every year, into paroxysms on account
~ some election, and are apt to wonder
Why republican institutions should have
been at all invented at the cost of so
much trouble and annoyance. But u
glance at the condition of any European
state Ought to quiet the apprehensions
OF even the most skept,cal Americans
that in comparison with the Irans-a IAN
TIC continent we are going to the dogs
Pass in review all o. these Slater, and
what scenes do they represent? Tm-
moil, oppression, and distress and dis
abstraction everywhere. Russia and
Turkey, as a matter of course, lead the
gloomy procession. In the former coun.
try II is an open question whether It's
Emperor IL more safe of life than its
lowest subject. 1t is a horrible Co di-
ton Of society, and one tor which there
seems 20 be no remedy within the sight
OF this generation. AS for the Turk he
seems as desirous as any living Chris
tlanto end his European exist ,uce.-
The Sultan, not content with finding his
TWO brothers, Eulan Mahmoud Pasha

The Empire of Austri l. Hungary has
TWO great sores on its political body. The
tation of its German part towarus tn.
consolidated German Empire. The
| other IL the difficulty of overcoming tht
obstacles that lie In the way of obtaining
and mIlatiDg the advance upon Con-
stantlnople. That those sores arr. severel,
fel; Is indicated by 1t -adily-ncreasln M
emigration from all parts of Hungary

has refused strange To say 20 lien crew
OF 800 600 worth of money In favor Of
