PARIS, August 10th, 1884.
In trying q fall with England, Bis
narck is considered to have made a
bIunder-which in politics is worse than
. crime. He has invited the fierce light
If universal criticism to take stock of
his position, and of the limits of his
means. Bearing in mind, that no man
is necessary, according to Napoleon L.
who illustrated that, it is not evident
where Germany could MORALLY wound
England, while the latter could find
many openings in the Teuton armor.
Plans of diplomatic strategy, and the
most able groupings of forces, generally
are smashed up Mt the first shock of
events. In general war, no man out
side Bedlam, believes Bismarck could
direct or
CONTROL THE HURRICANE.
People are getting fatigued at Bis
marck's fits OF iIl-humor; of his ambi-
ton to handle all the great powers like
50 many pawns for the benefit of Ger
many; and OF states being reduced to
the position of Goldsmith's village
school boys who read the days disasters
in the masters face.
The French have quickly perceived,
% was to be expected, that the love
making to them on the part of Germany,
would not pay. The courtship has not
had even the life of the rose-the space
of morning. A rift has been discov-
cred in the serenading lutte. The Alsa-
tain Patriotic Leagues here, that keep
the mourning wreathS on the Stras-
hourg statue fresh, have Yehemently
mt their foot down on the filtration.
The souvenirs Of AlSace do not permit
of anv serio-comic treatment. The
match, then, between Germany and
France may hence be considered "off"
Bismarck will not be thus able-''To
sport an hour with beauty's chain, then
throw it idly by"
The French now recognize, that At
the conference Bismarck was more q
hjndrance than help to them. The
obstinate and irritable opposition Of
France has formally alieaated the Eng
fish government and stirred up the
Britannia old lion. 1t is not concluded
that John Bull will remain idle while
Bismarck Weaves combinations to hand
emf him. He IS recognized as belong
ing to that wicked race of animals which
when struck, defend themselves. He
too, can dig pitfalls and lay trains Of
gunpowder.
SO FAR As EGYPT IS coyCa2XED
the French nov commence to accept it
as English. The Madhi is on the wane
and Gordon Is occupied to prepare the
Eastern Soudan to the Red Sea as
an English possession, that which
virtually gives the command TO Central
Africa. There Is q big bonanza in an
immediate future in this occupation.
Being political director of Egypt, the
French feel it is useless attempting to
thWart England, who could but too well
give back sigh for sigh. The finances
will in due time be squared, when the
cankers round them are surgically re-
moved. Then the indemnity claims will
be paid. France is also the champion
Tor this settlement, only she ought to
remember that she herself has not set
