purely Uerman STATES. lneI Cdu5o WIS just
at the beginning of the war, and we do not
believe that they are going to take up an un-
just cause at the moment of victory. The de-
mand of the French that they shall instantly
evacuate the country is of course absurd. France
is bound to make satisfaction for the misery
and loss which she has caused by this unpro-
voked war, and to offer guarantees that peace
shall not be broken again. Until these cOndi-
tions are fulfilled, it is vain to cry Halt"
At the beginning it was not her war, but
the Emperor's. She makes it hers, how
ever, by continuing the contest when she
ought to sue for peace, and, besides, she COM
mitted herself in advance to whatever the En-
peror might do when she cast the shameful
vote for the plebscitum. Germany, therefore,
has a right to assume that the France OF
Trochu and Jules Favre is identical with the
France of Napoleon and De Gramont, and to
press ON towards Paris until her legitimate de-
mands are satisfied.


II is in confining these demands to mod
crate dimensions that the cOnquerors have
now the opportunity of winning moral VIC
tory still more glorious than their trlumphs LII
the field They have chance to prove that
the professions with which they entered into
the contest were sincere; that they are not
the enemies of the French people, and have
no desire to destroy q neighbOring State.
What precise form the guarantees and In
demnity which may fairly be required ought
to take, we do not stop here to inquire !;
but we think the time has come
for neutral Powers to interpose their
friendly offices to stop the further raw
ages of war, and dispose both parties to
an honorable peace. Both, we believe, are at
heart ready for cessation of hostillties.
Prussia cannot be expected to make overtures
while France is haughtily bidding her be-
gone home, and clustering of war
as boldly as if she had never been
beaten. France cannot make official
proposals of surrender without the risk OF
another political revolution and the overthrow
of the Republic which now opens with so
much promise. Friendly intervention at
this moment may easily be effective,
and can hardly fail to be welcome. Our
own Government was the first to
congratulate France upon the establish
ment of the Republic: we shall be glad to see
it also the first to urge upon Germany mode
ration and justice in the hour of victory, and
to secure for the vanquished honorable and
easy terms. There are no diplomatic cOmpli-
cations to embarrass our action. We are on
terms of the closest friendship with Germany.
Our motives for interposing cannot be mis-
understood, and our representations will un-
doubtedly carry weight The President is right
in deciding that our traditional policy OF non
Intervention fOrbids our acceptance OF any
invitation to an international Congress; but
in friendly and informal way our influence
may be brought to bear in behalf of peace,
and for the benefit of the gallant people for
whose misfortunes we feel so deeply, and In
whose future we take so warm an interest.

When the European war opened and the
German shipping was shut up in our ports,
the proposition was made to transfer the yes
sells to the protection of the American flag.
The right to do this was at once disputed, and
the opinion Of the Government law authority

opinion several days ago, and now give on

There will, of course, be an inquiry into the
responsibility for the Oneida disaster by the
American Government. The fact is already
clearly established that the ill-fated vessel
was without small boats and it is now as
serted that the requisitiOn by Capt. VIII
liams for boats was answered by Adml-
cal Rowan with recommendation to wait
~until he got to cheaper port" The
charge is very grave one, and its truth
or fslsity ought to be established by official


inquiry. not merely for the punishment of the
person guilty In this instance, but also to deter

Like Costa, he turned to the bystand-

The next two brigands executed-with

emaciated form was stretched at full
length he uttered cry for forgiveness.
The last of those who suffered was Photi;
he, too, had to be lifted out of the car
riage and held by the two men while his
sentence was being read over. He seemed
to suffer great pain, and repeatedly
begged of the executioner to be careful
to avoid hurting his leg. He was at
length adjusted and turned with his face

The Cawoltons .(AItss9 Conservative
SAYS; &" We have heard it stated several
times that Mr. Samuel Bryant, who here
tofore had been bare-faced on the top of
his head, had, by the use Of coal oil,
grown a thick coat of hair on the afore-
said bald head. We saw Mr., Bryant on
Monday last, and on examination found
the statement correct. Mr.. Bryant told
us the way he found out this new prop
erty of coal oil was simply this he had
Il large boil ON the bald place on the top
of his head, which gave him much pain,
and in the absence of anything else, he
rubbed coal oil on it, HeSays it reliev-
relieved the pain almost instantly so he
continued to rub on the oil until the boil
was entirely well, when, to his surprise,
he found a thin coating Of hair coming
ont over the bale place. He continIed
the use of the oil for month or two,
and now has heavy coat of hair on his
head. This is no humbUg, but the sim
pie truth, and we advise our bald-headed
friends to try the experiment"

The following graphic pas
sage is from the description of q
scene witnessed by a Mr.. Camp
bell and his party, in the north
of Norway, from cliff, 1000
feet above the sea - -.tE GA.


"The ocean stretched away In
silent vastness at our feet; the
sound of its waves scarcely
reach our airy lookout. Away
in the north the huge old sun
hung low along the horizon,
like the slow beat, beat of the
pendulum in the tall clock of
our grandfather's parlor corner.
We all stood silent looking at
our watches. When both hands
came together at II, midnight,
the full, round orb hung tri-
umphantly above the waves, a.
bridge of gold running due
north spahned the water be-
tween as and him. There he
shone in silent majesty, which
knew no setting. We involun-
tariIy took off our hats, no
word was said. Combine, if
you can, the most brilliant sun
rise and sunset you ever saw,
and its beauties will pale before
the gorgeous coloring which
now lit up the ocean, heay-
ems and mountain. In half an
hour the sun had swung up per-
ceptibly on his beat, the colors,
changed to those of morning, q
fresh breeze rippled over the
flood, one songster after another
piped up in the grove behind Us,
we had slid into another day.

The New York Democrat says
the defeat of the Democracy in
New Jersey does not by any means
indicate any increase Of the Radi-
Gals. The loss of the State is due
solely and entirely TO the bad man
agement of the Democracy. There
were too many candidates. In al
most every Legislative District,
and in some of the Congressional
Districts, the Democrats had two
candidates running against each
other, and against the Radical
candidates. This thing often leads

There are but few inventions or discoveries
which produce complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed year ago,
that the dirtiest garment could be washed clean,
in twenty or thirty minutes, by boiling alone,
would have-been regarded as an indication of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond any
doubt that this process not only cleans the clothes
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such surposition has no
foundation in fact, and is contradicted byahe ex-
perence of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing


Everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
its operations. 1t must be to be fully appre-

BEAUTY.-A clever writer says
"Providcuce meant women to make
the world beautiful as much as flowers
and butterflies, and there is no sin in
tasteful dress, but only in deVoting too
much money or too much time" This
is most sensible view, and is the true
ground of mediumship between the one
extreme of straight and rigid simplicity
and the devotion of the best energies OF
q lifetime to vanity and frivolity. But
after all, what is this rage for dress but
an effort after the beautiful The reason
WHY the beautiful is not always the re-
suit is because 80 many women are
ignorant or mere eimitativc. They have
no sense of fitness; the short wear what
belongs to the tall, and bruncttes sacri-
fee their natural beauty to look like
blondes. That which is inappropriate
is never beautiful, no matter how fash
ionable: but who does not know some
women whose taste and training are SO
perfect that fashion becomes to her a
means of grace instead of despot; SO
that even the worst of fashions seems to
them but chain of roses. ...
