THE CLOUD EASTWARD. An interesting paper on Tunis, and relative to the troubles which recently culminated there in war and conquest, and a French so-called “Protectorate,” appears in the July number of Block wood’s Magazine. French ambition and aggressiveness has had a doughty champion and banner-bearer in this part of the world—Mons. Roustan, the French Charge d'Affair-, s. He has endeavored to advance French interests with a high hand for some time. The Italian Consul-Gene ral has been no less active in his ef forts to thwart the schemes of the maneuvering Frenchman, and his backers in France, and has endeavor ed to establish Italian preponderance in Tunisian affairs. On this field has been waged a hot political and diplomatic warfare for some years, in which other interests besides those of the belligerent rivals became involved. The poor Regent for the Sultan at Tunis has had a hard time of it, between the cross-fire of the wrathy Giaourf, the point-blank fire of his fickle-minded Sovereign in Con stantinople, and his own natural de sire to preserve the dignity of his sta tion and his—revenues. Through a series of intricate com plications, the French succeeded in overcoming every obstacle, native and foreign, to their well-matured designs upon Tunis. It appears that when ever a concession was granted to an Italian or an Englishman by the Tuni sian government, Mons. Roustan sue ceeded, by means best known to him self and his government, in checkma ting the fortunate parties; or he con trived to make the concession worth less to all interested by counter con cessions in the interests of his friends. This clash of conflicting interests in tensified race hatred, and every other hatred, to an unbearable degree. The smouldering embers broke at last into the lurid flames of war—the climax being disguised by all sortsof flimsy pretexts, alleged outrages, and the ever-ready material with which Talleyrandian di plomacy is accustomed to cloak its real designs. The Frenchman’s imperative de mands were met by the Tunisian Suzerain evasively, or were repelled with dignity. The French press open ly advocated French preponderance, and enlarged upon the necessity for an immediate annexation of the country, or, at least, for placing it under the Protectorate of France. Revolts of interior tribes occurred opportunely for Mons. Roustan and his government; and under the plea of protecting French lives, and proper ty and rights, a French army has in vaded the coveted land, French war ships have bombarded its ports, and the French eagle spreads its broad pinions affectionately (?) and pro tect! ngly over—an annexed province. The whole thing has been very adoritly managed, and audaciously and brilliantly brought to a triumphant conclusion. The writer in Blackwood's has endeav ored to interpret the handwriting on the wall which he professes to see with his mind’s eye. He moralizes point edly, and bis prognostication is of a sort to arouse more than- common in terest ; it would supply materials amply for lengthy discussions in the Peace Congresses of the world. He says: The consequences of this war of twenty davs are inevitable. Italy will never for give what she considers in the light of a perpetual menace, and will only wait for the hour of vengeance. While the state of popular excitement prevented for weeks the formation of a ministry, a powerful party demanded war against France at any price, and Ganba'di sent forth impassioned ap peals from Caprera, imploring Italy to insist cn the restoration of Tunisian independ ence. These feelings have been greatly ag gravated by the recent occurrences at Mar seilles. Italy now seeks peace with all the world to punish France. England has, through the English press, unanimously condemned the French aggression. Her friendship for France has cooled, and she is watching for the sequel of the campaign with anxiety. M. Roustan has already de manded the arrest of the Sheikh el-Islam, who is the chief civil judge at Tunis; while his subordinate at Susa has been loaded with chains for preaching the holy war, an accusation which has already served the new Minister Resident in good stead. This will, within a few days, lead to the forcible resumption of the Etiflia, and will be in strict accordance with M. St. Hilaire’s pro gramme. The loss of the Enfida to Mr. Levy, aud the consequent violation of the rights of an individual, will be of little im portance in comparison with other wrongs we may confidently expect. When the most powerful arsenal in the Mediterranean is established at Bizerta ; when English man ufactured goods are subject to a French tar iff, and when Malta is debarred from receiv ing supplies from Tunis, we shall probably regret the disdainful silence with which we received the thrice repeated appeals for mediation from Muhamed-es-Sadik Bey. The importance of Bizerta is regarded as a harmless chimera by those who seek to put off the evil day, when England must realize her loss of power in Europe. Admiral Spratt and Mr. Bosworth Smith, Lord de la warr and Mr. Guest, have placed on record their opinions on this subject; and Admiral Ho bart Pasha states that the possession of Bi zerta means the mastery of the Mediterra nean. A short time will probably suffice to put their views to the test. " Blit these consequences are of compara tively little •importance with the effect this aggression has had on the Moslem world. The tribes of the interior of Tunis are in open revolt; this excitement is ex tending itself to Tripoli and to Egypt, and we daily hear of massacre and insurrection in Algeria, where a total disarmament of the natives has been hastily resolved on. Patriotic Frenchmen do not hesitate to as cribe the rising of Bon Amena to the unpro voked attack on the Tunisian Regency. The Moslem realizes the lact that the day is coming when he must make one final stand against Christian invasion, and this resistance will take the form of a war which will extend from the frontiers of India to the shores of the Atlantic. Tunis contains the venerated city of Cairwan, and around that city the warlike tribes of the Slasi, the Ha mama, and the Ouled Drid are assembling to defy the invader. These men regard Sul- ■—. Secular Editorials—Literature— ' Domestic and Foreign Intelligence.' tan and Bey alike as traitors to their faith, and they will fight under the flag of the Prophet. Once let this spirit spread, and the consequence of the French Protectorate over Tunis may exceed in importance any thing which we are now able to contem plate The strength of this feeling in the interior of Tunis we can personally attest. In a word, the recent policy of France has earned for her the enmity of Italy, the re sentment of England, and the antagonism of the Moslem world. Nowhere has this attempt at cheap glory been more ably de nounced than in the French Chamber on the 23d of May; and the congratulations of M St. Hilaire on the ominous silence of Prince Bismarck are singularly inoppor tune, if not wholly premature. CHARLES W. HUBNER. “What boota it whether in Westminster Abbey, or under the shadow of a village spire, my ashes rest; whether a few years earlier, or a few years later, Igo to my resting p ace. The world will soon forget me." —ThaCrerat. What is fame ? An air-born bubble In a stream; Tin the evanescent phantom Os a dream; ’Tis the down of thistles drifting On the wind; ’Tis the flash that for a moment Makes us blind! Shake the dew-pearls on yon lily From their place, And for aye is gone the fashion Os their grace; From its slender stem dissever Yonder flower, And thy prize will pale and wither In an hour. Little time, forsooth, hath Beauty Here to live, And the life of fame, believe me, Is as brief I As the dews exhale, and roses Turn to dust, So will earthly glory perish, And be lost. He that fame and honors seeketh Will pursue Thistle down, and bubbles drifting Out of view; Yearn for phantoms ever fading From the eye, Grasp at shooting-stars that glitter, Flash and—die. On the poor man’s grave the roses Bloom as fair As upon the tomb that shrines the Millionaire; Stars shine bright, and songsters warble Full as sweet, O’er a dead king—and the beggar At his feet. Will the President Recover?— How often has this question been asked during the last six weeks! And while his attending physicians make favor able reports almost continuously, yet many of the best surgeons entertain grave doubts upon the subject. A few days since the writer was struck with the opinion, expressed by an eminent retired physician, that the ball had wounded the spinal column affecting the great nerve. The suggestion brought to mind a homicide that oc curred in Georgia many years ago. In a rencounter between two young men in the city where the writer then re sided, one of the parties received a pistol-shot wound at the hands of the other. The parties were facing each other, one retreating and the other ad vancing when the pistol-shot was fired. The wound was in the abdomen. One of the best surgeons in the State was called, and for some time strong hopes were entertained that the patient would recover. The ball could not be found, but its supposed location was agreed upon by a board of surgeons. Contrary to the opinion of these gen tlemen, the patient finally died. At the Coroners’ inquest a post-mortem examination was made, and the ball found lodged in the spine. It had passed around between two ribs, and the surgeons had been unable to trace it. May it not be that the President’s wound is of a similar nature? M. How Provoking. —The report of the proceedings of the Noonday Asso ciation, which appear in another col umn, were mailed to us by our travel ing correspondent, in time to have ap peared in last Index. But Uncle Sam kept the letter on the road, or some where else, until after The Index was printed off. Thirty-six hours from Acworth to Atlanta, about thirty miles, is pretty slow traveling by fast mail rout, at least. —The Westminster Review, for July, American Edition, has the following lich table of contents: Characteristics of Aristotle; Island Life; Mr. Fitzger ald’s Life es George the Fourth ; The Sugar Bounties Question; The Devel opment of Religion; George Eliot: Her Life and Writings; India and our Colonial Empire; Contemporary Lit erature.

LITERARY NOTES AND COM MENTS. “The time of year is at hand,” says the Boston Post, “when a great many hundred young men and women will enter upon college life; almost as many more will leave it, and a still greater number will advance a stage upon the real or apparent path of knowledge. A word of advice may not be out of place, at least to those who are yet this side of their journey’s end so far as a college diploma constit utes the goal. There is a too prevalent idea in the minds of young people that education is an affair of routine, that the sum of their duties lies in a general mastery of the text-books pro vided, piomptness in recitations and at lectures, if there happen to be any, and good lessons when called upon to recite. It should be the office of pro fessors and teachers to dispel this er roneous or rather imperfect conception of the means and methods by which an education is to be obtained, but on the contrary they too often encourage it, because it makes their recitations appear to advantage and saves trouble. It is a lamentable fact, however, that the men in College who are called the best scholars have frequently remark ably poorly furnished minds when they get through. Studying for stan ding is dangerous business. It econo mizes the mental forces to an undue exte..t, and withdraws them from that expansive bed they are inclined to seek in order to concentrate them in a narrow channel wherein flows the cur rent of their routine duties and shal low ambition. The routine work of a college is worth little, except to sug gest and direct to broader fields of study. For that the library affords the opportunity. The students should reinforce his prescribed work with ju dicious and extensive reading. He should read around all the subjects that come before him in the regular, course of his study, so far as possible, and he will experience grati ying sur prise, if his thirst for knowledge is genuine, in finding how much mbre communion with many minds regard ing a single manifestation of truth will do foi him, than an unqualified reli ance upon the unsupported opinion of one. A man who follows this method will find his collegiate course a much more profitable one, than he who sacrifices all for the coveted ‘marks.’ He may even make frequent failures in the class-room where the other makes none, and yet be his superior at the end of four years in all that equips a man for the stern realities that await him in life’s battle. Whatever else college students may neglect, they should be on good terms with their libraries if they would prosper.” The Spanish Epoch., commenting on the Calderon Centenary, says: “In Spain there never have been, nor are there now, any prizes to which the man of letter may aspire. No man can here make a decent livelihood out of literature, scarcely even can he pro cure the wherewithal of meeting the most pressing necessaries of life. Be fore the writer or the journalist there is no prospect but that of a miserable and penurious old age.” A copy of Mr. Ruskin’s early volume of poems lately sold in London for £3l. Prof. Robertson Smith will deliver a series of lectures this fall on “The Spir it of Hebrew Poetry.” A majestic sub ject, indeed. Friends and admirers of Victor Hugo have been holding meetings inParis,and will take steps for the erection of a splendid monument in honor of the great poet and novelist. A well known English writer, speak ing of the Froude “Reminiscences of Carlyle,” considerately remarks: It is not very surprising that papers writ ten and published in this manner, though they do not, I think, contain any really serious aspersions on char acter, should be found to contain sev eral harsh and inconsiderate judg ments ; some evidence of mind acidu lated by age, sorrow, and ill-health, some instances of inaccurate recollec tions of long by-gone events. It is, perhaps, not more surprising that, after the publication, attention should have been concentrated mainly, and often with an extravagant exaggera tion, on these parts. Nothing 'in literature rises so quickly to the sur face as a scandal, and these things were only too pleasing to all those who, on different grounds, disliked Carlyle, his style, his teaching, or his success. It is surely, however, now time that the public should take a saner view of the matter, and should remember that the ‘Reminiscences’ are not Carlyle’s main contribution to litera- ture, or his chief title of fame. What ever diversity of opinion there may be about some parts of his teaching, there can be no reasonable doubt that he has been one of the three or four grea test men of letters of the reign of Vic toria ; that during a singularly honor able and laborious literary life, extend ing over half a century, he has been one of the great ‘seminal intellects,’ and perhaps the strongest moral force in English literature; and that if mem orials are ever to be raised to great writers, he has a title to that honor which very few of his contemporaries can equal, and which none of them can surpass. The committee appointed to consid er the expediency of undertaking a re vision of the Welsh version of the New Testament according to the text adopt ed in the revision of the English ver sion, have met and agreed to recom mend that the work should be carried out. The London Literary World assures us that “Mr. Jay Gould, the American financier, is about to publish transla tions of Theocritus, Goethe, and Schil ler.” The Muses are as much out of place in Wall street, as a boil would be on the nose of the Medician Venus. Sir Gavan Duffy will have the sec ond volume of “Young Ireland” ready by November. Rev. Karl Knortz, of Johnstown, Pa., is engaged upon a “History of Ameri can Literature,” to be published by a lending German publishing house, Leipzig. A unique and pleasant little book by Mr. Willim C. Richards, of the Chicago Standard, entitled “Baptist Banquet Poems,” has just been published. It contains a collection of poems read at Baptist festivals, social unions and gatherings, etc. Price, in paper, twen ty cents, in cloth, thirty-five cents. JBaptists wyi take, .much pleasure in perusing a little volume full of pure sentiments, poetically expressed. “One test for determinining the pre cise quality of a poetic genius as res pects endurance,” says The Atlantic, “is to observe the choice of develop ment that it makes in maturity, and especially in the latest years of life. Some poets, it is true, do not percepti bly alter their early bent in the matter of expression; but there is among others a tendency either toward in creased complexity, or toward a more and more reserved simplicity. Long fellow and Whittier have always held to the clear and simple utterance which makes poetry the meek hand maid of daily life; but in their latest work, as was observable in the ‘Ultima Thule,’ and now appears in ‘The King’s Missive,’ they seem to limit themselves more than ever, if that be possible, to a style so gentle, subdued and transparent, that one thinks invol untarily of some kindly patriarch ad dressing children in a strain of sweet and quiet reflection.” George Bancroft, the historian, who received severe injuries last year by,an accident while out driving, is at New port this summer, in much improved health. Like Ranke, the great Ger man historian, he continues to work hard, although 81 years old. He is at work on his history of the United States, of which two new volumes will soon be issued. —“lf the critics treat your first book ill,” wrote Carlyle to a new author, “write the second better —so much better as to shame them.” This is sound advice, and implies, also, that critics are susceptible of shame, even those who designedly or mistakenly substitute unwarranted abuse for warrantable and honest ar gument. If an author’s second book is better than his first, the public will discover the fact in spite of gainsaying critics. Merit will vindicate itself. Nor will a really conscientious writer fail to per ceive his own betterment, especially with the strong side-lights of former adverse criticism to assist him in form ing a judgment of his work. We can draw victory from defeat if we will on ly go about it wisely and resolutely. —A series of articles by Richard Grant White on the history of opera in New York, will appear in The Cen tury (Scribners), to be illustrated by portraits of the principal artists who have appeared in America. —We see the phrase used, ‘‘the best abused man in Christendom.” What sort of a Christendom is that which indulges in or allows abuse? Wherever abuse is, Christliness is con spicuous by its absence, and vice versa the same fact is manifest. MAGAZINES. Potter's American Monthly, for Aug ust, is a very attractive number. Less ambitious and ornate than its aristo cratic New York and Boston contem poraries, it traverses, in a lower flight, a fair and pleasing literary field, and illustrates its texts with meritorious and appropriate wood-cuts. Its broad columns and fine letter-press are pleas ant to the eye, and there is sufficient variety of prose and poetry to satisfy the taste of ordinary people —which is saying enough, when we consider that the majority of people in the world are ordinary. —The Edinburgh Review, for July, American Edition, contains articles of solid worth. It gives us : Methodism; Caesar’s Campaigns in Britain ; Swe den under Gustavus III.; The Society of Antiquaries; Japan Revolutionized ; The Revised Version of the New Tes tament ; General Shadwell’s Life of Lord Clyde; Phillipseus Henri IV. and Philip III; The Storage of Elec tricity ; Landlords and Tenants in Ire land. —The Leonard Scott Publishing Company, 41 Barclay street, New York, furnish the American editions Blackwood’s, London Quarterly, Edin burgh, Westminster, and British Quar terly, Reviews. —Under the head of “Purchasable Health,” the editor of Scribner’s, in the August number, discourses wisely and pertinently of bodily health and its inestimable value : There are thou sands of men in New York City, and in every great city, who are perfectly aware that they are bankrupting themselves in health —that they are selling their health for money. The time will surely come, at last, when they will be willing to pay all this money back for the health they have parted with, but it will be too late. The object of this article is to induce these men, if possible, to buy health while it is in the market, and not to sell it under any consideration. Col. Thomas Scott carried his burden so long that the four millions he had won had no power to bring back the health he had parted with; but there no doubt were times in his life when,by the proper expenditure of money and time, he could have bought health enough to last him a brace of decades longer, and to enable him to double the number of his millions for his heirs. A man crowds his powers through a series of years of excessive labor, and, some day, he drops with paralysis, and from that day forward he becomes a powerless child, to be led kindly and carefully to the grave. The increase of this disease is undoubtedly the re sult of the increase of unwisely con ducted labor. Money can do nothing for it when it befalls a man, but it can do everything to prevent it. “Nervous prostration” has become a too familiar phrase in these latter years. Money cannot restore a shat tered nervous system, but, properly expended, at the proper time, it will prevent it, which is a great deal bet ter. There are two plans of life, by either of which money will buy health and prolong a comfortable existence. The first is, the setting aside of a part of every day for recreation. So far as this can be done, it ought to be done, but there seem to be some peculiarities in our American life that forbid it. Competition in business is cruelly sharp, and most men feel obliged to devote themselves to it, when they are in it at all, from morning until night. The sleeping hours are the only ones which give them release from active care. Now, business followed in this way from year’s end to year’s end, is just as certain to ruin health and shor ten life as the recurrence of seed time and harvest is sure. The alternative of daily recreation is a yearly period of rest. There are always slack seasons in business, and these every business. man should avail himself of, for rest and recreation. It is in these Seasbns that there is health in the market, to be bought for money. Two weeks of leisure are not enough for a man who works like a dog all the rest of the year. Two months are never too much, and there is not a slave of Wall street who would not only win health and save life by taking these two months of leisure every year, and enjoying them, but he would, in the end, make mon ey by it. Suppose, however, he loses money by it; he wins that for which he will some time be willing to give money, when money will not buy it, When a man gives health for money, he makes the poorest investment of his life. When he gives money for health, he makes, from every worldly point of view, the best.
