DANISH REM0NSTRANCE.


The Danish ambassador Mr.. Quaade, has lately
returned to Berlin with Instructions to lay before
the imperial court remonstrance against this un-
scrupulous abuse OF power. Prince Bismarck has
not unfrequently permitted the organs OF the
press at his disposal to proclaim that
cordial relations existed between Germany and
Denmark The Danish nation entertains on the
whole an earnest desire for lasting reconcilia-
tion with Germany, but 1t can only be did on
the basis or an honest, complete and unreserved
mlnlment OF the Treaty OF Prague. The measures
adopted by the German government towards
Danish subjects In North Schleswig are clearly not
calculated TO establish such reconciliation
but on the contrary cannot fall to arouse
In Denmark all the old bitterness OF feeling,
with the remembrance OF the immeasurable wrong
which gave those feelings birth. The present ne
gotiation does not directly relate to the Treaty OF
Prague. Aust journals display q freak OF
political imagination when they state that Prussia
has lately made proposals to Denmark regarding

been charged with entertaining similar

would reject 1t with equal nrmness BY the Treaty

she will not purchase its fulfment by the sacrifice
OF her independence.

ter gives these short rules for action in
case of accident: For dust in the eyes,
avoid rubbing, dash water into them !;
remove cinders, etc., with the round
point of lead pencil. Remove insects
from the ear with tepid water; never
put hard instrument into the ear. If
an artery is cut, compress above the
wound if a vein is cut, compress below.
If choked, get upon all fours and cough.
For light burns dip the part in cold wa
ter; If the skin is destroyed, cover with
varnish. Smother a FIRE with carpets,
etc.; water will often spread burning oil
and increase the danger. Before passing
through smoke, take full breath, and
then stoop low, but if carbon is suspect
ed walk erect. Suck poison wounds,
unless your mouth is sore. Enlarge the
wound, or better, cut out the part with
out delay. Hold the wounded part as
long as can be borne TO hot coal, or
end of a cigar. In case of poisoning,
excite vomiting by tickling the throat or
by water or mustard. For acid poisons
give acids in case of opium poisoning
give strong coffee and keep moving. If
in water, float on thefbaek, with the nose
and mouth projecting. For apoplexy
raise the head and bbdy. for fainting lay

A NATURAL MIsTAKE.-A good story
is told of well known musician. He
had public engagement at Bath, and
on alighting at the station he handed his
things to the porter, and on his way into
the town conversed with him, and asked
if there had been any entertainments
lately. The porter scratched his head
or would have done so if his hands had
not been full, and said yes-they had the
hippopotamus. The musician was not
greatly interested in natural history, and
cared little for the sneeziDg of squirrels
or the saliva of cockroaches. Still he
asked by way ofcarrying on the CONVEX
sation, where the hippopotamus would
beexhibited. " In the Assembly Rooms" !"
was the reply. The musician got inter-
ested, for it was there that he was going
to appear. " But that is strange place
to show wild beast in" he said. The
porter however was confident that he
was right, and presently caught sight of
a large poster on the wall, and told the
musician that he could read the an
nouncement for himself. He did so and
found out that it referred to him, only
the porter had mistaken, and read as

Faith is the most important faculty in man,
without which he could not live in peace with
his fellow men any more than with his God
There are different kinds OF faith, but unless
it be to war against sin and evil habits we
know not what lighting faith is good for;
but DR.. Deems will, doubtless, explain all
about it this morning. 1t was the power Of
faith and prayer that caused the King Ahasuerus
to spend one sleepless night, the results Of
which the Jewish people throughout the
world commemorate annually, and concerning
which Mr.. Pendleton will speak this evening
1t was faith that unveiled God, not only to the
ancient patriarchs, but to the dying thief, in
answer to prayer, about whom Mr.. Hawthorne
will speak to-day. 1t was faith that impelled
the patriarch Noah to build the ship that car
ried the worlds inhabitants emblem of the
Gospel-ship that carries the inhabitants Of
the world Of bliss thither, about which Mr..
Boole will speak and it is faith that makes
the life that now is worthy of our regard, and
the life that is to come, concerning which Dr.
Thompson will speak, reality to the pious
soul. Faith puts man on the safe side, as





him his rights and his duties toward God and
toward all men; it helps men to love their
neighbors, because they have confidence in
them, as, no doubt, Mr.. Terry will demon
strate, and it sets up God and His
attributes as the model Of perfection for
humanity to copy. as Mr.. Hitchcock will
show.

cloud, and fears that MI Gadstone's mani
festo may wreck the work of his (Gladstone's)
career and tarnish an illustrious name. 1t is
one of those controversies which can have no
end, and which Mr.. Gladstone would have
been wise, perhaps. to have ignored. The pre-
tensions Of churches and church rulers, rest
ing, as they do, upon belief in the heavenly
origin of religion, and the direct over
ruling Providence of God over the affairs
OF men. are frequently in antagonism to the
DEGREES of Commonwealths We have them
in the United States. Many of our churches
advance doctrines which might directly con-
fict with the citizens duty to the State. But
they rarely, if ever, assume practical shape,
because the tendency of human nature is to
regard religion as o sentiment and to make it
subordinate to the duty of citizenship. No
American statesman cares whether Roman
Catholics in America accept or reject the
dogma of Papal infallibility. They may feel
that if the Pope chooses to regard himself as
infallible he has perfect right to do so, and
to find as many as he can to agree with him.
So with any other person. There is no rea-
son why every clergyman in New York
may not advance the doctrine of per-
sonal infallibility. We are not concerned
about the assumption, because it is, after all,
a sentiment, q faith like belief in the sacra-
ments and effectual calling and the commu-
nion of the saints. If the Pope or any other
religious ruler were to declare in his infallible
wisdom that citizen should not pay taxes,
or that he should take up arms against the
country, his mandate would be disregarded,
if not by the citizen from sense of patriot
ism, then by the violent and summary process
Of law. We practically adjust the relations
between conscience and allegiance. We have
never yet found them conflict If they ever
should conflict the power Of the State would
be asserted as firmly as it is by Bismarck.


There should be no such conflict, and we
believe there is no real ground for it. either
in Germany or England. Mr.. Gladstone's
fear that the Pope is about to drag Europe
into war seems to be baseless, and is proba-
bly, intended for political effect upon the
minds of Englishmen. A religious war would
be the most dreadful Of all calamities. Arch
bishop Manning only asserts what has been
the teaching Of the Roman Church since St
Peter, and what every clergyman in New York
will reterate, SO far as his own creed is con-
cerned, that the law of conscience is para
mount to any other law. Practically, how
ever, the claim has no value and for Mr..
Gladstone to present it now as new assump-
ton Of power on the part of the Roman
Church is to create danger that has no life
and need never exist under free and wise
government.

Poor Mr.. Havemeyer seems determined noA

that he would be anxious to make amends foy
his former vagaries so far as the brief time
