THE SCARED DUTCHmRN.

The people of Holland are more friehten.
ed just now than they have been since the
Dutch captured the country. They have
discovered that their country is likely to be
made use of, either by France or Germany,
more probably the latter power. should q
war break out between these two military
nations. There are several lines of railway
which lead almost directly from Germany to
France. In 1855, when Prince Bismarck
used the Prussian army in one of the first
moves of his great international policy, he
gave the Dutch government six hours to de.
eide whether or not they would allow the
Pfussisns to temporarily enoroach upon
their territory. If yes, 1t was peace; If no,
war; and as the Dutch were quite unprepar-
ed for such a sudden summons, they had nc
alternative but to submit.
Perhaps they wouldn't be allowed even
six hours to decide in the event of another
war. Says the Boston Herald: In less than
half day German army of from 80, 900 to
90, 900 men could be thrown over the Dutch
frontier, while the latter would have ready to
oppose this advance military force of less
than 5000 men. To acquiesce in such a
violation of national rights might be safe
course to adopt if the success of Germany
was concerned. But If, on the other hand
the Germans should be defeated, the French
would be justified in claiming indemnity
from Holland for violation of international
obligations, a justification which would,
perhaps, be sufficient to warrant the seizure
of Holland and the extinction of its inde-
pendence.
No wonder the psaceable Dutehmen are
disturbed. They are certainly in a very
unenviable predicament. Probably If there
10 war they will have to submit to whatev.
or is asked of them by any of the great pow
ers, and perhsps they will be allowed to dis
cuss the matter aftsrward.

A USEFUL LESSON,

People whose business or pleasure it ia to
be in court rooms often have reason to feel
indignant at the manner in which some law
yers treat witnesses. There are some lawyers
who seem to delight in making witness as
uncomfortable as possible and who are as in
sulting as they dare to be. A lawyer of this
kind in Oswego, New York. has received q
rebuke which he will be likely to remember.
He had put an insultingly insinuating ques-
ton to respectable young lady and was
knocked across a table by her brother. It
was the young lady's misfortune to have been
acquainted with the parties to divorce suit,
and the subsequently knocked over lawyer
sought to make public display of what he
imagined was keenness and wit at her ex-
pense. He gave full play to his blaekguard-
ism and was promptly knocked down, as has
been said, by Deputy Sheriff Dempsey, the
young lady's brother. Mr.. Dempsey was
prevented from administering further pun
ishment and hurried from the court room by
his friends. The judge did not take any no
tice of the affair, which seems to indicate
that he did not think that MI. Dempsey acted
without adequate provocation.
A few such occurrences as this would tend
to teach such lawyers as the one who figured
in this case something. A legal education
and admission to the bar does not give man
q right to be a blackguard.

went into photographs of the pastor which
they sold at profit of $17.S5. Many other
members of the church invested their nfckels
in various ways with like success, and the
neat sum of $S75.e2 was realized from this
ingenious idea.
A Canadian surveyor who engaged in an
official expedition to Hudson's bay says that
few people have any idea of the resources of
this great sea. It's shores are the haunts of
the musk OF, the moose, the reindeer, the
red deer, the white bear and his black
brother, the otter, the beaver, the mink, the
black fox, also the silver, the gray and white
varieties, and other valuable fur-bearinp
animals. Its waters are tseming with the
most valuable varieties of water mammals
and fish. He has seen the bay as far as the
eye could reach appear as one undulating
mass Of white porpoises. Both the hides
and the oil of these are very valuable. In
some parts Of the bay and in the straits the
shores of the islands are swarming with wal
rus. 1t has been reported by Professor Bell
that on one island on the east coast there
was found to be thickly strewn with the
s>>s>>S ~
valuable, though the chief value of the wal
rus lies in the hide, which weighs on the
average 300 pounds, and is worth from 10 to
20 cents per pound.
Professor Austin Phelps of Andover
writes to the Charleston News and Courier
his view of the Southern race problem. as
follows: I have never believed in
negro suffrage. Senator Sumner never com-
mitted graver blunder than driving the act
which legalized 1t through congress. It was
not an act of statesmanship. It was fling
of desperation. The only palliation of it is
the fact that in the struggle for its existence
the nation was brought into supreme
exigency, in which everybody felt that some-
thing must be done, yet nobody could tell
anybody what to do. The thing that was
done stuck nature q blow in the face. And
for that she always gives return blow in
grand rage. We are sure, in such an en-
counter to get tho worst of It. That is what
We are suffering to-day, and what the end
will be, God only knows. I shall not be
here to see it, but 1t would not surprise me
if 1t cost the nation more blood than the
civil war did. The retribution of national
wrong-doing are on a great scale. You
thinking men of the South have the SYM
pathy of every thinking man of the North.
Fifty years ago Professor Moses Stuart, of
Andover theological seminary, persona,
friend of Mr.. Calhoun, foresaw just the pre-
sent deadlock Of affairs, and told me that he
saw no final solution but the surrender of |
two or three States to the exclusive possess
sion of the colored race. But have never |
been able to see that Christianity cannot
make two oolors in prolific races live peace
ably together, as nature adjusts colors in a |
rainbow.
