of Germany, should be tempted to
strengthen himself by an undertaking,
more or less complete with Powers east
ward Of France, with Austria and Italy,
with Russia, and even with the Porte itself.
Such a combination fl could be effected
and maintained would not, it must be
admitted, be very favourable to the pros
poets Of prolonged peace. But at present
it exists rather in the way OF tendency
than OF accomplished fact. 1t is one, and
only one among the many possibilities OF
the future, and the very perception that II
is possible is at once a cause and an effect
of the present uneaSineSS and uncertainty.
Scarcely Il Power in Europe is free from
domestic embarrassment or from uncertain
ties regarding external affairs. EmOar-
lassmcn and uncertainty beget disQuiet
in the body polite, and the general motdiSc
shows itself in an accute form, as III
Herzegovina, at the weakest and most
Vulnerable point.
1t is by no means f%anciful, therefore, to
see in the diSaiftctiOn Of Herzegovina 4
symptom of the disquiet OF Paris, OF the
uncertainties in North Africa, OF Prince
BiSmdrcE's schemes for Il new European
combination. The inSurrection Of 1879
seemed in itself a very little thing to light
up Il 2ltOb l4'klOI'SuI AOtI1t- lttllN4h' R'O
the real reason was that the materials
had been prepared long beforehand, and
that a casual, or what seemed to be
a casual spark set chem ablaze. Though
the present outlook cann0t be said to
be entirely free from anxiety, it is, at
any rate, easy to see that Europe is
not now in the same iniamma6ie state as
in 1919. The Power which then forced on
Il WarWith Turkey or at amy rate, found
itself unable to avert ii, has not yet re
covered from IFS effort. and has more than
a Suliciency OF domestic troubles to deal
with. The grievances Of the European
races, subject to the Porte, which We're the
real occasion OF the disruption OF 1876 AMI
1917, have been ior.the most part rejresSed,
and the welfare Of the races thcmS". IS l1S

ropeau treaty. AS for the ical0uSleS, rival

Europe OF a considerable portion oft was
in unstable equilibrium the Treaty OF
Berlin restored its stability. In Here

again to disturb it, for Austria in dealing
with instruction will be supported by tae

which established her in the provinces (;

The aagi az Va. Gasnbetta.
(Fyom the SpectdtorJ

We are not strong partisans of Nj.
Gambetta, but we confess to a GER
tain sense OF dismay at his fall from
power. The occurrence betrays the
strength of influences in Paris which
are far from favourable either to the
existence or the durability of a good
Government. The sudden change
there has been too dramatic, too
unlike that strong movement Of de-
liberate reason which should cha
racterizo Republican Government.
During the past three years, the foun-
dation Of all politics in France has
been the conviction that any Minis
try not controlled by NJ. Gambetta
must be temporary. because,the coun-
try wishes NJ. Gambatta to govern.
At last the dissolution came, and in
the Judgment Of all men, not forget
ting some Of his deadlicSt enemies,
and including the WatchfuI President,
who does not like him, the electors
nominated NJ. Ganbetta to be head
of the Administration. If that esti-
mate of the popular voice was v~rong,
it follows that no one knows in the
least how to interpret the will of the
electors who now govern France,
and all movement in all directions
becomes uncertain; while if 1t was
rioht, the situation resolves itself into
this,-that the French Chamber,
while dissolution is still distant, does
not represent the constituencies, but
acts upon impulses of its own, manly
Of which are of a selfish kind. 1t
is willing to rule in opposition to the
people. NJ. Gambetta has done no
thing to render himself unpopular,
except with the Church, beyond
alfronting the groups or cllques into
which the Chamber is always divi-
ded. lie has nominated new men to
the Ministry, but with the exception
OF NJ. Paul Bert, there was no grave
opposition caused by any appoint
ment. He has selected a few per-
manent officials outside the regular
party lines, but almost every Minis
ter has done the same. He has vex-
ed end irritated powerful interests
such as the Protectionists and the
Railway magnates but so little was
their weight felt in France, that ii
the Senatorial elections, supposed
to be controlled by a higher class Of
citizens, and which occurred after
the Ministry was formed, the MAORI
ty returned was decisively Gambet-
tist. Nevertheless, with both Cham
bcrs in his favour, he was suddenly,
almost contumeliously, dismissed
from Office. There can be no doubt,
therefore, that the motive was anger
at the one new project he had
brought forward, the attempt to in
sert Scrutin de Liste in the Consti-
tuition. Nobody cared very seriously
about the reforms in the Senate, and
although it is possible that the Radi-
Gals, who in France are very logical,
did care about the limitation on the
powers of Congress-which they
hold to be sovereign-it is known
that a compromise could have been
arrived at upon that point. The
Chamber, though it ultimately Voted
against limi1, at first agreed to them;

vernment and p%acifcation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina are committed to Austria,
as he truly %affirmS, by the mandat OF
Europe. and the Government will not
shrink from the task imposed on 1t. Ger
tainly the experience of 1873, when what
was intended and expected to be a peace
full occupation of the provinces turned out
to be a serious military undertaking which
involved the employment OF upwards OF
100, 600 troops, is a warning to Austria not
to make too light of the beginnings OF
instruction. Up to the present time
it is clear that the occupation has proved
anything but an advantage to Austria. 1t
has cost much, and it has produced very
meagre and intangible results. After
three years of Austrian rule Herzegovina
again rises in insurrecti0n at the first pro-
vocation, and the task Of pacjication has
to be begun over again. Of the ultimate
result there can be very little doubt. The
power Of Austria is by no means so easy
to defy as that of the Porte was, the lmme-
diate neighbours of Herzegovina are neu-
trail with a polite leaning towards the side
Of Austria, and Austria, armed with the
mandate of the Powers, will naturally
count on their active diplomatic support.
No doubt the immediate causes of the
disaffection in Herzegovina are to be found

A Human Pendulum.

Bernard Koehlcr and Fritz Hisgen, two
house painters, began painting the large house
at Belts street and Central avenue. Three
o'clock in the afternoon found them close up
under the caves of the house and sixty-fve
feet from the ground. They had just finished
the surface within reach and had started 10
lower the scafTod few feet When the re-
quired distance had been reached Hisgen
called out to his partner TO hang on 10 the
rope until he (Hisgen) tied his own, when he
would come over and preform like service
for him. Hisgen had just completed his own
knot when koehler cried out, 3" Come over
quick, / can't hold it." Hisgen, as quickly as
possible, started across the aerial bridge, but
had not gone two steps when he saw the man
let 90 his hold and felt the ladder give way
beneath his feet. As lie began the fall, in the
energy of desperation he, with both hands,
grasped the almost smooth top Of tue fourth
story window cornice and there hung in the
air, distance of sixty feet from the pavement.
lie then gave an exhibition Of nerve that terri
fled every one who saw it. Placing the toe
OF one foot against the window frame he gave
his body slight pendulum motion away from
the house. second push gave him better
impetus, and as he swung on the return to-
ward the window he released his hold and
went crashing through the glass safely to the
floor of the fourth-story room, from whence
he Immediately looked out through the
aperture he had made to see what had become
OF his companion. Koehler has not been quite
so fortunate. As he went shooting through
the air he caught the hanging rope with both
hands and lessened his speed all the way
down at the expense Of all the culicle of his
palus, which was burned off by the friction.
He Landed in a sitting posture on the side
walk and was taken to the hospital with Il
pair of very sore hips Cincinnati Commercial

French Practical Jokes.

Ernest Legouve tells some good stories Of
Eugene Sue-they had the same sister but
were not related to each othcr-and the Joy
GUS baud Of practical jokers who gathered
around him iu the ateier of Theodore Gudin,
the painter 1t was Gudins pupils who near
~ drove one ianitor mad by visiting him
daily at regular intervals to ask him for locks
OF his hair, and terrified the poJfiere by
lowering skeleton down the chimney to
dance over her soup-kettle. Another per-
ioruance of merit was breaking a hole through
the wall into a ncighbor's chimney and
stealing three chimney sweeps. The first boy
having disappeared, second was sent alter
him and vanished and then third, and
popular riots and belief that the enemy was
IN Tie chimney were only avoided by the sage
reuectlvn Of the commissary of police that
Gudin's studio was in the adjoining house.
Another meritorious performance was 10 attend
weddings in mourning and with melancholy
cast of counteuance aud, taking up position
near the alter, burst into heart-rending sobs
during the ceremony.
But the most atrocious Of these mystifica-
tons was made at the expense Of lady who
had ordered 4 panel of Gudin for her salon
and sent him a note urging him TO come and
sec the room before painting it She prevail
ed upon Gudin to let him answer it in person !;
renewed his y sit, and made such iuleut love
to the lady that one day she expressed ice
desire 10 see his studio.
Certainly come tomorrow at noon !"
At noon comes the lady, and finds the studio
with single occupant before his easel.

Pruning in June,

We have tried pruning IN almost all months
of the year and on the whole prefer June
This being about the busiest month of the
year. there Is usually little time for pruning,
and so the favorlte time Is early in the spring,
and many of our old orchards, in their rottlng
limbs and decayed trunks, bear testimony to
the mischief wrought by the illumed use OF
the saw and axe.
Small limbs an inch IN diameter or less,
can be taken off at any time with comparative
safety. But the thorough pruning called for
in a long.negected orchard IS best done in the
early summer. The sap is absorbed by the
rapid formation of wood and leaves the wood
laid bare in pruning large limbs soon becomes
scared. the healing process around the edges
of the wound begins Immediately, and IN a
few years the wound will be completely COW
cred with new wood and bark. There Is no
chance for decay as when large limbs are re,
moved in early spring.
There is far too little pruning done IN the
farm orchard A dead limb should not be
suffered upon the fruit tree. Good pruning
leaves no stubbs, but cuts close to the trunk or
branch bearing the excised hmb.-American

O'Dynamite Views.



O'Donovan Rosa held select mass meet.
ing last night in small up stairs room at 1
City Hall Place. Less than forty men of
Irish blood and Fenlan spirit" were present.
The doors were closed on all others. O'DOnO-
van ROssa who sat at a round beer table, said ::
"The white slaves OF America are gong to
cry out their eyes at Cooper Union tomorrow
night on account of the staying of Cavendsh
and Burke, two men who represent tyranny
that has SLAIN millions of our race. What are
you going to 40 about it,"
The question was discussed by several speak
ers, and 1t was finally determined to attend the
meeting and do everything possible to defeat
any resolutions that may be offered expressing
dctestation of the murder of Cavendlsh and
Burke. Then ODonavan Rosa read docu-
ment, which he SAID was an authentic procla-
nation from the Executive of the Irish Revo-
tionary Brotherhood, and had been sent over
by cable from Dublin. 1t is dated May s, the
day after the first published reports OF the
murders, and says that there seems to be a
grave misunderstanding as to the aim and
scope of the late executions in Dublin" 1t
calls Secretary Burke monster, and Lord
Frederick Cavendish, the brother of Lord
Harrington and the son of the Duke of Devon
shire and "lineal descendant of the infamous
Lord Broghlll, who hanged the gallant, patrl-
otto MacEgan, Bishop OF Ross" describes the
Land Leaguers as "sate treason mongers," and
concludes:
Now, furthermore, we call upon our broth
ers in America, particularly the Advanced Ma
tionalists, to aid by every means within their
power the men who have carried out this ex-
ecutlon, and we hereby further declare they
deserve well of their country.
BY order of the EXECUTIVE OF |. r. b.
The Exlles' Club, II. Davis, chairman, and
j. s. Gahan, secretary, met at Military Hall on
Thursday and adopted resolutions declaring
their disbelief in political assassinatlons, but
regret that Irlsh.Americans have been so
ready with so incorporate denuncation before
facts are known, and with offers of blood.mon-
ey to stimulate villains to further crimes. 1t
will be time enough to do this, the resolutions
saw, when the Irlsh-AmeriCans have denOunc
ed the murders done by English soldiery, and
offered rewards for their arrest and conviction.

To MAKE PosTs DURABLE.-J. G. Johnson,
Ohio. The "kyanizing' process you inquire
about. is not practicable on the ordinary farm.
The following is simple and effective: Burn
the part of the posts 10 be set in the ground
including the bottom end, just enough to leave
a thin layer of charcoal all over the surface
and then dip them in hot tar or asphalt. The
charcoal is indestructlble by air and moisture;
the tar or the asphalt fills the cracks and in
terstlces, and thoroughly protects the interior
wood. A barrel of tar or of asphalt is readily
obtainable in any large city, costs but little,
and will furnish Il dip for several hundred
posts. The heating can be done in any large
iron kettle, with care not to have the material
take fire. The charring can be done by build
ing large fire of waste brushwood and put.
ting on the posts, turning them to prevent too
deep burning IN one place. Ordinarily the cost
of labor and material need not be over 2 to cts.
a post while such preparation will increase
three or fourfold their real value AS posts
decay soonest just at the ground surface, be
tween wind and water" as the sailors say, it
IS best to have the coating extend half foot
above ground, and where looks are of no &C.
count, the whole post may be similarly treat.
ed, which will make them almost indestructl.

Texas Weather.

To the Editor:-D. j. Carr, U. s signal Off.
Ger at Decatur, Texas, kindly furnishes us
with the following abstract from his meteoro.
logical record, he very cheertully granting
my request to do so as soon as my object in
making it was explained to HIM,
Decatur is the county seat OF Wise county,
which JOINS Decatur on the west and is about
% miles from the city of Denton.
1t will be observed that the rain fall for 1881
was 34.01 inches, 40 greater than at Pilot
Point, and 1888 inches for the year ending
March 31st 1882.
In this connection it may be interesting to
note that the average annual RAIN fall at Otta.
wa for the five year, ending Dec. 1, 1860, was
2902 inches, including melted snow.
