A flairs in Europe.
Editor* Telegraph .-—In France the rumors
of a triple alliance between France, Italy and
Austria have somewhat subsided. Bat it is a
fact, that negotiations with each a view have
been carried on between Napoleon and King Tic-
Prossia, to U^tox^reminde atl^^m^^
tria’s feet The Emperor Francis Joseph cannot
forget the defeat of Sadowa, while Napoleon’s
mind is continually haunted by the growing con
solidation of the North German Confederation,
which is‘destined to destroy the so-called pre
ponderance legitime de la France en Europe. In
the Meantime, are brought to light the secret
wounds from which the empire is bleeding, «w<4
many suspect the government would not dialifre
any complications abroad, to divert the public
attention from the dissensions at home.
The beautiful "Luxembourg Garden” in Baris
was devastated despite the public indignation,
and near the Tornado, seventeen millions of
francs were spent in earthworks, the purpose of
which nobody can comprehend save some in
terested property holders, viz: Monsieur de Oi-
rardin. The enriching of a few individuals at
the expense of the whole is a dark page in the
book of the Empire. The Emperor's much
•{noted saying, L' empire e'eet la paix is by his
enemies interpreted as L’empire e’eet Vepee.
It is generally believed in Italy that there ex
ists a secret agreement between Napoleon and
Victor Emanuel binding Italy to strict neutrali
ty should the Emperor lead his > praetorians to
the banks of the Rhine. Public opinion, how
ever, will not be very enthusiastic to take up
arms for France as long as the Emperor leaves
French troops at -Rome, holding the sword of
Damocles over Italy. Pope Pius Nino is enjoy
ing good health, and busying himself with the
preparations for the Grand Council. On the
Dili of April he will celebmte the fiftieth anni
versary of his first mass. Great festivals are
to he held to commemmorate this event.
The British Parliament discussed the Army
Budget. They intend to save £1,192,000 or
$">,Ofin,000 in gold by diminishing tho standing
army by 10,240 men. Since tho extension of
suffrage tho English are turning their attention
towards improvements of the educational sys
tem, and the prejudice against compnlsoTy edu
cation is fast dying away. *
Excitement, street combats and bloodshed are
still prevailing in Spain. Public demonstra
tions against the conscription were made, in
ducing the government to rednee the number of
40,1fllo to 25,000 recruits a year. The Cortes
have, according to the latest news, bestowed the
crown of Ferdinand and Isabella, on the Duke
of Montpensier, grandson of Louis Phillips,
and married to a Bister of cx-Qucen Isabella.
The Russian papers never ‘ grow weary of
filling Europe with lamentation about the intol
erable snfleringH the Christians have to bear In'
Turkey. Vet tho truth is thnt tho Sultan rules
his Christian subjects with a gentle band, wbile
Russia continues russifying everything with
savage brutality. Tho Roman Catholic Colle
gium in St. Petersburg opposes energetically
the introduction of the Rtissian tongue into the
Catholic servieo, declaring that tho Pope only,
as the bend of the Cbnrch, had tho right to ap
point tho btnguago to lie used In the Catholic
service. The Protestant parishes in Lithuania,
*" ing mostly composed of Poles, who refused
likewise to adopt tho Russian language for all
official nets, have sent n petition to the Emperor
Alexander. The national Russian papers de
nounce this remonstralion ns an act of rebellion,
requesting the government to tako energetic
measures against the petitioners.
The Sublime Porte has issued a dooroe stop
ping nil coercive measures against the Greeks.
In Jerusalem the last scaffoldings have been
removed from the cnpola of the Holy Sepul
chre.
The Chichnm-Baschi, the politico religions
head of the Israelites in Palestine, numbering
alumt 25,000 souls, is dead. His successor is to

Tlie North German Parliament is in session.
The military organization of the confederation

Itc Poor Before Yon are Rieh.
.. ? T P Ia J n to me; .if yon can; Mr. Bonner, why
it is that so many young people are ashamed to
have it thought that they have no money, or
why it 18 tiuttftjjiy are ashamed of doononiv in
the management of slender means, and of fru
gality in livin
There is no
being an oak.
that thev wore M||M|
ashamed of being young. . No one is ashamed
to have it discovered that bis strength, knowl
edge and skill Ate proportioned to hisyears.
But these same persons will blush, and suffer
shame, at being supposed not tohave any money,
under circmnstimoMjn-aj^ch all the sensible
world know that they ought to have none!
• _ A young fellow has been put to school by the
rigorous economy of his father and mother.
Only by the very hardest industry and closest
economy can they sustain him in college. Every
single shilling 5h important, and like shingles
on the roof, the absence of one makes the whole
house inconvenient And yet this lad sb«n be
ashamed nrit to bear his part in social expenses.
He is utterly unable to say, “I cannot afford
It!” It is tho harder to say it I must confess,
because, in a community of several hundred
young men, two-thirds of whom are poor and
the children of poor men, there is a lurking
shame of poverty, which radiates into public
isntima^aanlraascton kind of dtospote tqxm
yond thobarfekt rirfcessities of life, of whatever
c«M- ttianby.^' Poverty has enough trouble
without the addition of foolish end dishonorable
sentiments.
Who expects young men to have money to
spare ? Does not the whole world know that
they ore but just starting life—that as yet they
have earned nothing, and that they inherit no
fortune—that they receive but a small stipend—
and that, if they would ‘be honest, they must
practice a rigorous economy! Why, then, do
yoimg men engage in pleasure bouts which
drain their pockets dry, and lay them under
temptations to dishonesty for fear people will
think that they have no money ?
Of course, folks will think so! And just as
ranch if yon are inveighed into unwise giving,
as if yon refused! A poor young man ought to
be poor until he has broken the spell of poverty
by mdnstrions enterprise; and he should rather
glory in it than be ashamed of it.
It is necessary that yon should be frugal; it
ia not necessary that you shonld spend five dol
lars in taking a young lady to the opera. It is
necessary that yon should be honest; it is not
necessary to attempt to walk in circles of society
that will swallow np .tho pitiful pennies of pov
erty like a quicksand, and leave only irresistible
temptations to dishonesty. It is a good - reason
for not joining a club, and excursion, a riding
party, and still more an extravagant ball, that
“you cannot honestly raise the money. Who
onght to hold up his bead the highest, the young
man who quietly says, “I cannot yet indiilgo in
such expense,” or the fellow|who not is ashamed
toatoal the monoy on which he makes a false ap
pearance?
I hear a good deal of Yankee meanness—of
the spirit of trade and dicker—of the stinginess
and parsimony of' Northern men. But, while
the manner of showing economy may be unfor
tunate, the essential spirit of thrift and economy
is a thousand times nobler than the free-handed
squandering of money which gives a spurious
reputation for generosity, to people who are on
the road to bankruptcy, who have long spent
money not their own with a special gracefnl-
088.'—Ilenry Ward Beecher.
Mr. Roebnclt on American Affairs.
Mr. Roebuck, in a recent speech at Leeds,
alluded to international affairs in the following
terms.
And as wo find in the Ministry on inclination to
knuckle down and prostrate themselves before
the Pope in national matters, so we find that in
international relations they are inclined to bow
down and prostrate themselves before the power
of America. We are delighted to see that great
people, bnt we don't delight to see their feet
upon onr necks. Depend upon it that whatever
they do, whatever they say to conciliate the
people of America, they are determined not to
be conciliated, and no prostration on our part
will satisfy them. They are determined to be
dominant on the earth, and, if they can, they
will be. The only chance of onr opposing the
Americans is to oppose them now. The time
has gone past when we could have opposed them
more easily—I mean tho tiino when I proposed
it to Lord Palmereton. Depend upon it, if yon
don't take the present opportunity, the time is
not far distant when they will prepare to place
their feet on onr necks, and when wo must fol
low in the train of the United States.
Now, I was thought a very dangerous person
when I asked Lord Palmerston—not in this hall,
bnt in the old room of the Cntler’a Company—
to acknowledge the Southern States of America ;
but what has occurred only very recently in
Congress ? You know that Cnba is jnst now in
rebellion against Spain, and at the present mo
ment there is a motion in the Congress of the
United States referred to a committee, and pro
posing to acknowledge the Island of Cnba as a
free State. Surely what is sauce for the goose
is sauce for tho gander. If it would have been
wrong for us to acknowledge the Southern
Slates under the peculiar circumstances in
which they were placed, how can it be right for
America to acknowledge the Cuban people, who
are not at all equal in social status to the South
ern States? Bat we all know the difference
between what ia permitted to a great gentle
man and what is permitted to a small gentle
man. The United States may do what they
like, bnt poor England, wretched England, can’t
be permitted to acknowledge as a free State a
State that has a Legislature, an army, and vic-
tory in the field. My political testimony, then,
on all these points is, beware of -trade-unions,
beware Of Irishmen, and beware of. the United
States of America. * These three things include
the future of England.
Intemperance in Eating and Drink
ing.
If the statistics of gluttony had been as care
fully looked up as the statistics of drunkenness
have been, there would, no. doubt, bo a fearful
tale to teU on that side. The evils of excessive
and unregulated eating are as enormous as those
of excessive and unregulated drinking, though
appearing in different form, they make less im
pression on society. An enormous burden of
debt is pressing upon onr people, relief from
which would give an impulse to every working
faculty, and every industrial interest: and a sum
of money equal to three-fifths of the whole of it,
is annually spent by the people in a way that
cripples those faculties, diminishes the working
power in the community, and aggravates every
depressing and disabling influence. In the
manufacture of the stimulants thus consumed,
there are used $750,000,000 worth of grains, all
brimfnl of divine benignity, rich with material
for happiness, teeming with future oomfort, in
crease, and nobility, big with the coming civili
zation of mankind. So much nourshing force
of blood made a cause of corruption in the
blood! Is not that drinking damnation? To
tho value of the food products odd the labor that
|s withdrawn from useful channels, and practi
cally wasted in the manufacture of this desolat
ing power, and we have $2,250,000,000 per year,
a sum sufficient to pay tho whole interest bearing
portion of the public debt.

A Plea for Getting l'p
The London Daily News discusses tho change
that has taken place in modem habits in regard
to early rising. Swift declared that he never
knew any man arrived at greatness who was not
an ea^y riser. Frederick the Great got np every
moenfig at 4 o'clock, and so we believe did
John Wesley, who, by the way, made early ris
ing a religion, and preached against lying in bed
as a sin. Peter the Great always rose before
daylight, and Dr. Doddridge claimed to have
added ten years to his life by cutting off two
hours of morning sleep for forty years. As to
onr ancestors in the' heroic times, they would
would be ashamed, indeed, even of me early
risers among their degenerate children. Bluff
Harry and his wives and courtiers had then-
breakfast at the hoar of seven, and had th#r
dinner well over before noon. Queen Bess, and
the scholars and great generals and statesmen
who surrounded her, dined between eleven and
twelve, and took their supper between five and
six in the afternoon. Early to bed and early to
rise has made England what she is, and would
make all who adopted the principle first and
foremost among their fellows.
The fact is that as life becomes more con
centrated, and its pursuits more eager, short
sleep and early rising become impossible. We
take more deep because we want more. Six
hours’ sleep may do very well for a ploughman
or a bricklayer, or any man who has no other
exhaustion than that produced by manual labor,'
and the sooner be takes it after his labor is over
fir better; but for a man whose labor is men
tal, the stress of whose work lies on his brain
and nervous systeni, and who is tired in the
evening with a day of mental application, nei
ther early to bed nor early to rise is wholesome.
He needs letting down to the level of repose.
The longer the interval between the active use
of his brain and his retirement to bed, the bet
ter his chance of sleep and recruitment To
him an hour after midnight is probably as'good
as two hours before it, and even then his sleep
will not so completely restore him as it will his
neighbor, who is only physically tired. He
must not only go to bed later, bnt lie longer.
His best sleep is probably in the early morning
hours, when all the nervous excitement has
passed away, and he is in absolute rest
There is, therefore, a good deal to be said in
favor of the late habits of modem life. It was
all very well for Englishmen to go to bed early
and get np early at the time of the Tndors,
Flantageneta and Stuarts. Their lights were
bad, and it was expensive work to make a room
light enough to be pleasant. They did not turn
night into day os we do; bnt it was probably
because they did not know how to do it as we do
know. Gas is responsible for a good deal of our
love of the long evening hours. A London
house at this time of the year is never so bright
as it is after dark. When the blinds are down
and the shutters are closed, and the snug cur
tains are draw, and the room is flooded with
brilliant gaslight, and the bright fire is stirred
up in the shining grate, nobody regrets the sick
ly daylight Which all day long had been feebly
straggling through the fog and smoke. Why
ion wish to shorten the brightest
horns of the twenty-four for the sake of an ex
tra honr or two of foggy, ineffectual morning ?
It is not mere retaliation on onr ancestors; it is
simply the adaptation of their maxims to our
Doaem needs to say that, for many of us, one
waken hour after ten at night is worth two hours
before nine in tho morning.
We live donble at that social evening time,
and to waste such hours in sleep when there is
ire hour in the morning which may jnst as
well be spent in bed is an unwise substitution
of old maxims for new experience. No doubt
tho old maxims were wise, and would still be
wise if our conditions were of our* great grand
fathers. But while the maxims stand, the times
have changed, and we have changed with them.
We must have society, and we can only have it
at night; we must take ample rest, and we can
only take it in the morning. The stress of life
with us is on tho brain and nerves, and they can
only bear the-
their sleep out

For a man whose work is iutef-
llectnal to havo to sleep violently cut Hhort every
morning would be half equivalent to snicido.
True wisdom teaches us to adapt ourselves to
our circumstances. Nature does not change,
and what was good for onr fathers is donbticss
good for ns, provided the conditions are tho
same. Bnt when this is not the case we must
not allow their example to become a tyranny,
Modern habits are not more really indulgent
than the habits of our earlier times, and they
best suit modem needs.—Exchange.
The Inti nonce of Pretty Women iu
Washington.
The Washington correspondent of the Chi-
Igo Republican writes as follows:
But jnst so long as women are weak and men
[are powerful, some of the evils of the depart
ments never will bo remedied. It is so mnch
more comfortable to a jaded man, worn oat in
the arduous duties as head of a bureau, to see a
fresh, young, pretty-faced woman at on adjoin
ing desk, rather than one with all the sweet
juices of life squeezed out of her, whether by
I age or misfortune, it matters not which. The
first one is the oil of the machinery of every
day lifo; the latter is the adhesive gum which
needs cleansing awa$. Women, who look with
longing eyes to an active life in the departments
at Washington, had better consult their mirrors
first, unless Secretary Boutwell makes new laws
to meet individual cases. It is tree, a few
r‘crones" may be found in the basement of the
[building, bnt os yon ascend into the upper
realms of the castle, new visions of beauty
greet the eye until the spectator is lost in a
dazzling dream of enchantment* as glorious in
its bewilderment as a Turkish harem. In many
cases these handsome young women belong to
Washington families. They have good houses,
with the comforts of life, without paying for
them. This enables them to spend their wages
in the adornment of their persons. These are
the girls whose lives Mrs. Swisshelm so bitterly
deplored. These are the women who practice
the Grecian Bend, and who dot our avenues of
a brilliant afternoon as the butterflies do the clo
ver heath. Petted darlings at home, petted
darlings at tho Treasury, no wonder they are
spared their duties if they have the headache,
or a dress to make. No soldier's widow or starv
ing daughter of the Republic can drive them
from their warm nests, for the reason “ that a
_ is joy forever.” Gen. Schenck
says ho has tried in vaintoget a place for a young
girl who had two brothers killed in the army,
and who lost her father also in the army. There
are other beautiful women there, the mention
of whose names is enough to bring the blush to
every honest woman’s cheek, some public man’s
public plaything; and yet for such as those the
widows and daughters of our noble soldiers must
stand aside and sing the "song of the shirt,” or
another quite as sad. Has the sun of another
day arisen ? With trembling form and bowed
bead, we shall wait and see.
Rexobkable Mountain or Salt.—In the Fah-
ranagat District, in the Southeastern part of the
State of Nevada—distant from Austin, estima
ted at ISO miles—is a remarkable mountain of
salt, about 70 miles south of the mines. It is re
ported to be about five miles in length and 600
feet in height. The body of the salt is of un
known depth. It is chemically pure and chrys-
talline, and does not deliquesce on exposure to
atmosphere. Like rock, it requires blasting
from the mine, whence it is taken in large blocks,
and ia transparent as glass. This would afford
an abundent supply to the world could it be
cheaply mined and transported; but it now
stands in the wilderness, an object for the admi
ration of the curious and the inspection of the
scientific. It is believed that there is but one
other place on the globe where it exists in such
a state of purity in workable quantities, and
that is at Cracow, Poland. This is bnt another
evidence of the state of purity in which jibe
force of nature has left her deposits in this in
teresting portion of the continent.—California

A Man TTtt t'tt> at Valdosta.—The Savannah
News, of yesterday, reports tho killing of Mr.
William Libby, at Valdosta, on Friday night,
under the foliowingcireumstances: Mr. Richard
Kalston, formerly of Savannah, was keeping
books for Mr. Libby, who, a few days since,
happened to look over them, discovered a mis
take, and wrote opposite, “A mistake—rectify
iL” Mr. Ralston, on seeing the writing, wrote
opposite it, “Ignorance is bliss.” Mr.il being
notified of this, went to Ralston on Friday
night, and asked him what he meant by it.
Bobos words ensued, which resulted in Ralston's
drawing a pistol and shooting Libby. The ball
entered the left side, producing death in a few
hours. Ralston is in custody.—Avgusta Press.
