at Brussels you have Waterloo TO remind
you of the great battle which, had it turned
out otherwise, might have given Bonaparte
the sacking of London, and in the palace of
Holland at Amsterdam, there is a magnificent
reception room, the ceiling Of which is 100
feet high; on the walls of this are groups in
marble, and one Of these groups contained a
skeleton. When Napoleon Bonaparte took
the palace he covered this skeleton with a
sheet of stucco, and so it remains to-day.
Napoleon had a curious excuse for the cap
turing of Holland. He said France owned
the Rhine and other rivers which flow into
the north sea; that Holland was made from
the alluyial deposits Of these rivers, and that
in capturing it be was merely taking back the
ground that belonged to. France originally.
These Dutck cities are wonderful works of
human industry. Rotterdam and Amster-
dam are cutsup by canals, as New York and
Philadelphia are by streets. These canals
are walled with stone and their banks care
fuis- ps;,td, Good bridges cross them, and
in many places the queerly shaped, high
Dutch houses rise straight up,from the water
like those of Venice. The Dutch cities are
more picturesque than Venice, and their con-
struction is fully as wonderful. They are
built upon piles, and this building is even
now going on. ! saw much pile driving in
Amsterdam. Great trees Is and 20 feet long
were stood on end, and by a driving machine
were forced inch by inch into the mud until
they reached the level of the ground. The
bridges are all built in this way, and the pal
ace of the king at Amsterdam rests on a
foundation Of nearly ii 600 piles. There are
80 Islands and 800 bridges in Amsterdam, and
the city seems to have as firm a foundation
as that of New York. The piles hold up
buildings as big as those of Broadway. The
extent of this sort of building in Holland can
hardly be appreciated, and the cost of build
ing the foundation of a great house is often
as great as tile putting up of the house itself.
These Dutch cities spend thousands of dollars
daily i'll watching and taking care of their
buildings and public works. Worms sometiD e.
eat into the piles, and a slight break might
causet the loss of mnchproperty. Eternal vigil
lance is the price which the Dutch have to pay
for Holland. Their great dykes cost them
over s2,oooip0o a year to keep In order, and
the sea is watched night and day. Through
out the country and tho city the same con-
slant watchfulness is kept up. Everything is
kept clean and well cared for. Nothing. as
ipr as l can see, liz wanted, and dirt seems to
be the whole nations greatest enemy.
Saturday is scrubbing day in the Dutch
cities, and on this day the towr:ssco mad over

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The Dakota dusk
was closing in as 1 sat in the sleigh and tried
to rouse the driver from the stupor into which
he had fallen-a stupor produced in part by
the intense cold, and in part by the Internal
whisky he got at the last GROCERY we had
passed.

Tur first year OF Democratic ad-
ministration OF national affairs has
passed. Despite the spiteful crit
icism of malignant partisans or dis
appointed place hunters, what
honest, truthful American is there
who will not admit that the past Of
fetal year has been one OF honor and
good government to the RepublicY 7
No great disaster OF any kind has be-
fallen the people, the credit OF the
nation is unimpaired, and the laws
have been faithfully, honestly and
impartially enforced. There is so
little to find fault with in the admin
istration that calumny degenerates
into petty spite in assailing it. 1t is
true that many Democrats, as well as
members OF the opposition, are not
in accord with the President and his
Cabinet on the silver question and
aome other matters OF public policy,
hut honest errors of Judgment as to
the proper course to pursue are not
crimes or sins. The American people
can well be satisfied with the man
apement Of affairs by President Cleve-
land and his Cabinet, History will
give the first year OF Democratic adj
ministration highland noble position
on Its pages.

Being confronted by the murderous vii
lains, the messenger fought for his life
and the property ia his trust. The in
terror OF the car shows that he fought
the robbers from one end OF the car 10
the other, but the blows they, rained Oh
his head with an iron poker forced hin
to succumb, and he was left dead in the
car. The thieves rifled his pockets fol
the keys to the safe, which they robbed
of all its contents, variously estimated
at from $40, 200 to S25, 900. Checks and
valuable packages not containing money

A great deal is being said now
about coast defenses. Mach is being
written about the exposed and de-
fenseless condition of New York,
San Francisco, New Orleans, and
other large ports. Samuel j, Tilden
n few weeks ago wrote u letter to
Speaker Carlisle in which he pointed
out that over five thousands OF mil
lions OF property lies at the mercy oil
any hostile fleet in Ave cities which
he mentioned. Since then measures
have been introduced into Congress
which, il carried out, will to some
extent provide against the dangers
pointed to by him. In this connec'
ton it may be suggested that the
whole Of Southern California remains
absolutely unprotected in case a for
eign war should suddenly arise
There are dozen points where
a hostile force might land and march
unopposed to ravage our towns and
cities. OF course the probability OF
foreign invasion now appears very re-
mote, but the unexpected frequently
occurs, and it is but common pru-
dence as recognized and practiced by
all civilized nations in time OF peace

posed positions on our coast and iron

A FEW days ago Congressman Long,
of Massachusetts, presented petit
tion to the House OF Representatives
from the Boston preachers meeting
OF the Methodist church, stating that
"the most fragrant and grievous out
ragcs have been perpetrated upon the
Chinese in Wyoming and Washing
ton Territories, and the States OF
Oregon and California" The petit
tion states that "these outrages have
disgracsa-our country in the eyes OF
the civilized world, and subjected it
to the Just judgment OF righteous
God" The petition calls upon Com
gress to IDEAL quickly and sternly
with all people who are engaged IN
driving Chinese out of towns, VII
lagos and cities"
This terrible malediction might be
moro frightening if it were true.
Notwithstanding the sanity charac-
ter of the petitioners, there have been
no outrages upon Chinese in Califor-
mia since the present agitation began.
With no intention OF profanity, would
it not be well ior our Boston
friends of the cloth to lot the Al
mighty speak for Himself, and not
pass Judgment for Him in advance
even upon Californians2 1t also oc-
ours to us that we once remember
reading sentiment that ran some-
thing like this: "Iudge not, that ye
he not iudeed."
