'it ical honors are bike dead sen fruits, ''it tempt the eye, but turn to aslies

'tlie lips."

Tt is Mally a question if our public men are not better, though less brilliant than (hose who preceded them. Certain it is that they are in more perfect harmony with tho whieh-U. -mrtT they do, it may be that posterity will acknowledge itself under a deeper obligation to Charles Sumner than to Henry Clay. Already Hie truest friend of liberty in Europe, Victor Hugo, has exalted plain John Hrown, notwithstanding his iguominous death, as the companion hero of George Washington. The age judges men by what they accomplish, not by their ability to say beautiful things in a captivating manner. The most unsuccessful politician in America, Horaco Greeley, has for twenty years wielded an inlluence upon public sentiment greater than all the speeches that have been made in that time. He has literally made public sentiment. Yet (Jreeley has been beaten for congress by -lohn .Morrissey.

The field of politics is really not inviting to ambitious young men. Success in it is rarely attained except by trickery and dishonorable practices. The career of the most successful politician is attended with an unccrtaintv that detracts from the pleasure of gratified ambition. A change in the current of public sentiment will, sooner or later, leave the most prosperous bark stranded high and dry. The waters may come back to the old channel but a stranded politician seldom gets afloat, and rarely proves a good sailor if ho does. The newer vessels, made to suit the changed condition of things, out sail him in all seas.

Business, the trades and the professions are the inviting pursuits for young men beginning life. In those a man's success is in proportion to his energy and capacity, leaving little to chance. In these, honesty and integrity are capital letter than gold or bonds, and not imj^ediments to success.

SMAIJTMEXTJN POLITCS.

Tt is a common remark that we have small men in polities, and important public positions, now-a-days. They are compared most unfavorably with such intellectual giants as Clay and Webster who were each in the height of a wonderful career a qnarterof a century ago. These criticisms are partly true and parly erroneous. AVe believe it to be true that our public servants lack brilliance, but we doubt that they are less faithful than those, no\y gone, who electrified the world and caused our people to become man worshippers. The tact is that the political field has, to an extent, lost its charm for rising men. Time was when it was the only avenue to distinction, and votaries of Fame were compelled to tread it or be unknown. Hut the wand of the old Enchanter has changed all things. Men can become great and famous and powerful, even in free America, without making stump speeches, or going to congress, or even belonging to a political party. It has come to this: that of

Mie roads which lead to success, busi'icss in its manifold branches, is tho surest, the liberal professions the most °^obling, and politics the most preea-

An ambitious monarch, seeking safetv from the internal troubles that threaten his throne, and burning with jealousy and rage at tho growing importance of Prussia in a military, moral and political sense, has precipitated Euro|)0 into a war which will bo most bloody and terrible and may involve all the leading powers before its conclusion. The position of Franco in reference to Ilohenzollern and the Spanish throno was weak and untenable. Tho preservation* of the balanco of power in Europe, always tho pretext used for unjust and unneceessary procedures, did not justify Napoleon in forbidding tho election by the Spaniards of the King who best suited them. That the Ilohenzollorn candidature was not an actual cause, but a pretense, for war is shown conclusively, by tho fact that Leopold's withdrawal, which removed all cause for difficulty, was followed by a demand from France upon Prussia, so insulting and unnecessary that bluft'old King William, drinking the waters at Ems for his health, with spirit worthy of his great people, insulted Bcnedetti, the envoy of France, who bore the obnoxious message. Whereupon war was declared in the Corps Legislatif.

The self-styled "man of destiny," at the Tuillcries, is gratified. War exists. His motives are transparent—to snub the great German power which has recently assumed an importance in the world greater than his own, and to quiet the internal dissensions of his empire by appealing to the martial spirit of the French people—an appeal that never was made in vain. His motives are the same as in 1853, when, by the shrewdest diplomacy known to modern statesmanship, he inveigled England into a war with all the Russias over the key of the church of Bethlehem and the silver star in the sanctuary of the nativity. The French people, volatile and even atheistical, forgot the wrongs and horrors of the coup iV etat on the night of the 2nd of December, 1851, in their enthusiasm over the "mystery of holy shrines," which IvinglaKe says, "lies deep in human nature." Napoleon desires to strengthen his tottering throne by an aggressive policy upon the strongest military power in Europe, trusting that success in the field, or even in diplomacy, will heal internal dissensions and satisfy his people in the continuance of the Second Empire. He has succeeded so far as the popular feeling is concerned, already. The Paris mob, which has been ready to turn upon the Tuilleries for months, now cries"twe Emperor and "Down with Prussia

The war will be terrible. It will redden the water courses from the Rhine to tho Danube. A war between the recent conquerors of Austria can be no unequal contest. The heroes of Solferino and Sadowa, in hostile meeting, will shed more good blood than all the Napoleon's, and Williams, and Bismarks, and Benedetti's, ofJjEurope are worth.

THE public sentiment of the counts seems bitta£^--~^t?rml

THE ability of Prussia to cope with France in the war concerning tho Spanish succession can be cstima ted bv the following from the Cologne Gazette. "Germany is still surrounded by great military powers "which viewed the establishment of tho unity of Germany with dislike, or endeavored to prevent it, and whose "completion they will not favor. We shall require an efficient army in 1871, "just as much as wo did in 1867, and neither militia systems nor proposals for a general disarmament can supply its place." Asa comment on such sentiments, it is not surprising to find that the reorganization of the Prussian Army, commenced in 1801, is only now in process of maturity that the Isindwehr will, next Autumn, receive the accession of four annual levies of 60 000 men each and that since 1866 about 876,000 men have been added to the reserve, while only 186,000 have loen discharged.

TF British Columbia is added to the confederated Provinces, the Dominion of Canada will be more unwieldy than ever. Even now, the widely-extended ri-ontier of the Dominion renders it, in a military sense, indefensible. It is a lino that is strong at no point, and at most points is so exposedjind vulnerable that even the Fenians could snap it like thread, if the Government here did not hold them back. To add British Columbia, with fifteen hundred miles, or jnore, of intervening wilderness,—to undertake its government and defense at that distance from the western settlements of anada—is simply preposter-

has ever been most bitterly antagonistic to nativism, and has proclaimed that this country shall be the asylum for the oppressed of all nations and all climes —in view also of the fact that the Republican party has proclaimed itself tho especial champion and protector of the human race regardless of color, nativity or creed—and in view more particularly of the fact that the advocates of Christianity, which we all profess to be, have desired at all times, and in all places, to embrace opportunities to extend the blessings and inculcate the truths of our beautiful christian religion. The Democratic party will stultify itself upon the subject of nativism, the Republican party will prove recreant to the noble principle of equality for men, in the defense of which it has inspired the admiration of the world and Christianity will lose its grandest opportunity, if the tide of Chinese immigration, now drifting to our shores is cheeked or turned elsewhere.

It is with a fooltng of ^ruo reverence that wo take by the

person who

has actually passed ten deeados of lifo, and who ninkes no pretensions to marvelous deeds and services.

In the comparatively halo person of Captain Laliruush, now living in Now York city, we find a worthy relic of old, romantic, and stirring days. lie was born in London, March (ttli, 17titi and is, consequently, now in tho

one

hundred and fifth yoar of his age. Ho entered tho British army on tho 17th of October, 1780: sorved in tho K)th Rifles under tho Duko of York in the Low Countries in 171KI was present on tho 8th of September, 1708, when the

French

General Humcert, surrendered

to Lord Cornwallis at Ballimaniick, in Ireland was with Nelson, in 1801, at tho capture of Copenhagen witnessed the famous interview between Napoleon and Alexander, which led to tho peaco of Tilsit, in 1807 fought under the Duko of Wellington in the Spanish Peninsula in 1808-10, displaying such gallantry against Massena at llusaco as to secure a promotion was stationed at the Capo of Good Hope in 1811, and distinguished himself in tho first Caft're war and in 1810-17 was an officer of the guard that had tho custody of tho Emperor Napoleon at St. Helena. After a service of twenty-nine years he sold out his Captain's commission in the GOth Rifles, in 1818, and subsequently went to Australia as superintendent of the convict station at Bathurst in 1837 ho removed to Tahiti, from which island he was forcibly expelled by the French in 1842, in consequence of having taken warmly the side of tho Protestant missionaries in a controversy with Papal propagandists. For several years he traveled extensively on the Continent. In 1847 he went to take charge of Lord Howard de Walden's estate in Jamacia, but, disgusted with the disorganization of labor that followed the liberation of the slaves, he came, in the following year, at the age of eighty-two, to New York, here he has ever since had his abode. He brought with him to New Yorjc his widowed daughter and grandson, both of whom soon died, and for nearly twenty years Jthe poor, childless old gentleman has lived quite alone, in the enjoyment, however, of wonderful health, in the full possession of all his faculties and the vigorous use of his limbs,

Captain Lahrbush is a good churchman, and regularly attends morning services on fine Sundays at the Church of the Ascension in the Fifth avenue. An arm-chair is placed for the old captain in the middle aisle, just in front of the chancel rail, which he occupies by courtesy of the churchwardens. He goes through the forms of kneeling and standing with something of military precision, and his voice, piped in a high treble, may be heard in the responses above the rest of the congregation.

It is his custom to retire at eiglA o'clock in the evening, and to rise with the dawn. His appearance is that of hale old age, as if he might live many years, and he is as particular in his purchases to articles that will last as if he was but five-and-twenty.

Every year his birthday is commemorated with a grand dinner, at which lawyers, authors, military and naval men are accustomed to assist.

Alhough the venerable captain keeps himself rather secluded aOiis rooms, he seems to b6 gaining many stanch friends every year of his existence. He is a good conversationalist, and appreciates very highly all attentions paid him. He is cheerful, has a quite active memory, and bids fair

nual dinner, which was attended by the most influential men of the city.

A MAN died recently in the Rue Cu vier, in Paris, who had labored for more than fifty years on a work on humpbacks. He was a wealthy, independent bachelor, with an iron const tution, and the singular man had spared no sacrifice, had braved danger and fatigue, to gather the innumerable observations he had gathered in his gigantic work. When his heirs were looking for a will, they found the immense manuscript which he had left. It comprises two thousand sheets with the most exact drawings of innumerable humps, and calculations and observations of the same, The man had traveled all over the world, through Europe, Asia, Africa and America he had been in Hindoostan and Japan, in Nublia and Abyssinia, just for the purpose of studying the humpbacks ok those countries. In the temperate zone in Europe he found the most of them. The most singular observation made by this eccentric explorer, was the fact that the humps have a sort of connection with the formation of the surface of the country where they are found. So the

humpbacks in the Pyrenees showed the angular, jagged shape of their mountain, while tho humpbacks on the sea coast showed on one side a gentle descent. In the humpbacks of the plains tho humps smooth down gradually on all sidos.

PRENTICE'S PICTURE OF TRAIN.—One of the last paragraphs written by George D. Prentice was this, in regard to George Francis Train:

A locomotive that has run oft* the track, turned upside down, and its cowcatcher buried in a stump, and the wheels making a thousand revolutions a minute a kite in the air, which has lost its tail a human novel without a hero a man who climbs a tree for a bird's nest out on a limb, and in order to get it saws the limb off between himself and the tree a ship without a rud dor a clock without hands, a sermon that is all text a pantomine of words an arrow shot into the air the apotheosis of talk the incarnation of gab. Handsome, vivacious, versatile, muscular, as neat as a cat, clean to the marrow, a judge of the effect of clothes, frugal in food, and regular only in habits a noonday mystery a solved conundrum a practical joke in earnest, a cipher hunting a figure to pass for something with the brains of twenty men in its head, all pulling different ways not bad as to heart but a man who has shaken hands with reverence.

A DRINKING FASHION.—The fashion of touching glasses in drinking healt hs Is thus explained by a Continental authority. It means'that all the senses are gratified at once,—the sense of touch by holding the glasses, that of hearing by the sound of their iingling, that of sights by the fHends looking at each otnej, and those of smell ana tasto by the smell and taste of the liquid.

GAS AND OIL.—A Scotch# lady, who was discomposed by the Introduction of gas, asked,"with mtfeh earnestness, hat is to become of the poor whales?"

THE COSSACKS.

During the colobratorf retreat of tho French from Moscow in 1812, their rear guard was enveloped In a cloud of warlike horsemen, wno wore ever ready to capture and kill tho stragglers, to intercept detachments, or to attack the main body, as occasion might offer. These Mamelukes of Europo were the Cossacks, who are known and feared wherever tho Russian arms have penetrated. Trained from youth to tho use of warlike weapons and the management of horses, they excel In horsemanship and in feats of arms, and form tho most important branch of the mounted troops of tho Russian army.

The Cossacks are strong, hardy, agile, and active, and are more handsome in their appearance than other Russians. Most of them wear beards, sheepskin caps (as shown in our cut), and wide trousers. In war, their arms aro a lance, ten to twelve feet long, a carbine, pistols, and a sabre while some use the bow and arrows. Their horses are small and poor-looking, but swift and gable. Although they are formed Vnttf regiments, and are subdi-

indefatigab

vided into hundreds and fifties, they form no battlo array, attacking with fury amid shouts and wild hurrahs, quickly dispersing to attack again. Their chief wealth consists In horses, and in time of peace they employ themselves with catching fish and keeping cattle.

Travellers who have been among this strange people confirm all that has been said about their boldness and address, and repoxt that, for the mere pleasure of showing their skill, they are ever ready to execute the most perilous and difficult acts of horsemanship.—Frank Leslie.

MANY years ago, a shoemaker near Bamberg sent his apprentice to get a bottle of Bamberg beer, which .was sold at that place but the boy, not knowing this, went on to the city itself. On returning, he met an acquaintance, who told him the boss would whip him for staying so long. Frightened at this, he buried the bottle under a tree, and enlisted in the army, where he distinguished himself and finally became an officer. When one day his regiment was quartered in this small town, the officer thought proper to pay a visit to his old boss, but not before ne had got the bottle of beer, which had laid quietly all those years under tho tree. When he entered, he said: "Well, sir, here is that bottle of Bamberg beer you sent me for." The shoemaker, not knowing what was meant, was reminded about it by the officer. The bottle was opened, and the beer was found to be of superior quality. When this fact was known, some of the brewers built deep vaults, where they put their beer, and called It, after it had lain there some time, lager. The officer afterwards married the daughter of the shoemaker, and drank a good deal of lager beer, receiving in that occupation the assistance of his father-in-law.

AUTUMNAL SCENES.—A moral character is attached to autumnal scenes—the leaves falling are like our years, the flowers fading like our hours, the clouds fleeing like our illusions, the light diminishing like our intelligence, the sun growing colder like our affections. the rivers becoming frozen like our lives—all bear secret revelations to our destines.
