The War in Europe.
Io a practical point of view, we of
tfce South have, comparatively, but little
interest in the war now in Europe. As
an event of history, an occurrence of
the times, however, we may take inter
est enough in it to ehquire into the
causes, and to watch the results as they
appear.
We presume that our readers are
already familiar with the causes of the
present war, which is now drenching
the finest fields of Europe with blood.
These are to be found in the ambition of
men more than in any just cause for a
resort to arms. The German Diet is
the tribunal where the differences be
tween Austria and Prussia should have
been settled; but they preferred the
gladiatorial^ena: the sword instead of
the pen. Iris, after all, a fratricidal
strife, in which German meets German,
and victory or defeat must perch, in
cither case, upon a German standard
and over German arms. But another
contestant takes the field. The Italian
unity, looking upon the present contest
as a favorable opportunity to secure
Venetia, takes up arms against Austria,
and joins in buttle with her ancient and
present foe.
Already several battles have been
fought with varying success. In nearly
all of them both parties claim a victory.
But Italy admits the defeat of her army
in the first contest with the Austrians
for a strategic position on the Mincio.
It is thought that this movement by
Victor Emmanuel was for the purpose
of keeping the Austrians concentrated
in that portion ot territory called “the
Quadrilateral, 1 ’ in order to secure an
important advantage in another section.
At any rate, he was defeated and fell
back, but it is contended that he suc
ceeded in his object of keeping the
enemy concentrated.
The Hanoverian army had surren
dered and was sent home, All the ele
ments of war are at work, and the war
rages with intense fury. The result
will be a change in the map of Europe.
One or the other of the several con
testants will be despoiled of a portion
of its territory, while to one or the other
the amount so despoiled will be added.
Population will be somewhat dimin
ished. Grief and poverty will afflict the
land. Debts will be piled up mountain
high ; and ruin and starvation will fill
up the measure of National woe. But
what of all that ? The ambition of men
will be gratified, the pride of others hu
miliated, and that is, in the eyes of an
unscrupulous and ambitious world com
pensation enough for all the horrors of
war.
Mrs. Julia Dean Haynk. —We find
the following item going the rounds of
our exchanges:
It is said Julia Dean Hayne obtained a
Mormon divorce in Salt Lake City, and
married a mau „who had got rich in Mon
tana.
We doubt very much the correctness
of the above statement Mrs. Hayue
(then Julia Dean) married several
years ago, in the city of Charleston, a
young physician by the name of Llayne.
The alliance was generally believed to
have been one purely of affection, and
we have never heard to the contrary.
Miss Julia was a lady of rare beauty in
her maiden days, an accomplished ac
tress, and a great favorite, as all pretty
women generally are. She it was who
so captivated John Minor Botts that he
followed her from Canada to California,
and it is generally believed, tendered
her his heart and hand. He was then
a member of Congress, but the young
lady did not reciprocate, and peremto
rily declined the “tempting” offer.—
Petersburg ( Ya.) Express.
Re-Estaotishment op Slavery —A
Remarkable Document. —One David
Qninn, of Chicago, has just published, in
pamphlet form, a memorial to Congress
advising the re-establishment of negro
slavery. It presents the subject under a
new phase, in which it has probably not
heretofore been considered. It holds that
men are divided into species and have
different natures; that the negro finds his
civil liberty in his slavery; and that the
white man undergoes change in America
which makes slavery essential; that the
French in Canada and the Spaniard in
Mexico have degenerated, and that the
native people of the Northern United
States are now three inches less around
the chest than the Europeans. The author
brings forward many historical and scien.
tific facts in support of his argument.
—No title can be acquired to prop
erty won at a raffle, according to a Bal
timore Court.
PARAGRAPHS.
—Men show particular folly on five
different occaaions: When they estob
liah their fortunes on the ruins of an
other ; when they expect to excite love
by coldness, and by showing more
marks of dislike than affection; when
they wish to become learned in the
midst of repose and pleasure; when
they seek friends without making any
advances of friendship; and when they
are unwilling to succor their friends in
success.
—A horticulturist advertised that he
would supply all kinds of fruit trees and
plants, especially pie plants of all kinds.
A gentleman thereupon sent him an
order for one package of custard pie
seed, and one dozen mince pie plants.
The gentleman promptly filled the
order by sending him four geese and a
small dog.
—Here is an epitaph for yon: “Here
lies the body of Lady O’Looney. She
was the great niece of Burke, commonly
called the sublime ; she was blind, pas
sionate and deeply religious, also paint
ed in water colors, and sent several
pieces to the exhibition. She was first
cousin to Lady Jones, and of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven.
—ls we work upon marble, it will
perish ; if we work upon brass, time
will efface it; if we work upon our im
mortal minds—if we imbue them with
principles, with the just fear of God and
our fellow men—we engrave upon these
tablets something that will brighten to
all eternity.
—At a fancy dress ball in Paris re
cently, a lady was seen in a very low
bodied dress while floating, and waving
an abundance of green gauze. She was
politely asked by a gentleman what she
personated? “The sea, monsieur.”
“At low tide, then, madam.” The lady
blushed and the gentleman smiled.
—A prominent citizen of Ulster
county, N. Y., has been convicted of
poisoning a first horse against which
one of his own was pitted for a heavy
stake. The poisoned animal won the
race, however, but died shortly after.
—“I lost my appetite,” said a gigan
tic fellow, who was an eminent per
former on the trencher, to a friend. “I
hope," said the friend, “no poor man
has found it, for it would ruin him in a
week 1”
—Friend, imitate the example of a
locomotive. It runs along, whistles
over its work, and yet never takes
anything but water to wet its whistle
with.
—What a happy fate was that ot
Jonah in the whale, compared to many
who find themselves in everybody’s
mouth.
—A comical Canadian lately posted
a placard on his chicken yard which
read thus : “Roost high! the Fenians
are coining 1”
—The manner of advertising for a
husband in Java is by placing an empty
flower pot on the portico roof, which is
as much as to say, “A young lady is in
the house—husband wanted.
—Cheese, in the manufacture of
which copper and brass utensils were
employed, has poisoned several families
in Zanesville, Ohio.
—Mr. Pike, of Cincinnati, has de

the other day.
—A woman at Titusville dropped
