Rather EmbarrassinR.-Saturday evening
last lone woman arrived by stage and an
nounced herself as the wife Of Major Blake.
our justly popular town Marshal As the
Major had wife and two children In his
homo on Cactus avenue. It doubtless made
things somewhat embarrassing to him. He
might have wriggled out OF 1t, however. but
for the appearance OF q second lone woman on
Monday noon. who also claimed to be his
wife. This made three on the Majors hands
at once. and all threatening to shoot. and It is
no wonder lie broke for the brush.
We don't know how the Major intends to
arrange matters but 1t seems to US that some
sort OF a satisfactory understanding can easily

And Germany Is distinct from the ono which
links Austria to Germany. The first contains.
on the part OF the head Of the house OF Savoy,
a solemn remuneration OF Trieste and Trentia.
and in its practical conclusion 1t involved the
visit OF King Humbert to tho Emperor OF AUS
tria, 1T Vienna. visit which has never been
returned and the whole business is completed
by this last hum iliaton. which We find in tho
fact that the wretched sovereign is never in
vited to the interviews OF tho other two allies.
Sometimes the Cabinet Of Vienna gives rude
shocks to his amenity. For instance. at the
end OF last month the Austrian court inaugu-
rated with great pomp the statue Of Radetzky.
the conqucror OF Novara. the man who for 30
long period held the north OF Italy. or rather
the house OF Savoy. under his heel.
What singular alliance for Italy! Imagine
England during the Apglo-French alliance at
the time OF tho Crimean war making holiday
for tho inauguration OF II statue to Wellington!
II Austria and Italy live on such terms when
they are united officially. how would it BIO II
they We're not united!
The masters in diplomacy distinguish two
sorts Of alliances Tho first have an imme-
ditte and direct aim written down In the treaty
Itself. such was the alliance OF France and
England on the eve OF the Crimean war. and
such also was the alliance between France and
l
alliances come to an end when the object
which they have in view Is attained. Then
each Of the contracting powers regains Its free
liberty Of action.
The other kind OF alliances are not conceived
IN vie" Of II precise object. Their character Is
ra'her defensive than offensive. and II the
eVcn'un'ieS which they loresee are not real-
