GREAT AVAK.
Prom the A; I'. Iltrald.
To and fro the tide of opinion sways, from
bide to ide, in reference to tho right ani the
strength of this power or of that in the torri
ble conflict which threatens lo cover Chris
tendom with blood and ashes. Tho number
of the armies is counted, the array of floets i s
given in elaborate detail, and tho ability of
the leaders and the captains is extolled in
endless articles. Trance, Prussia, England,
Kussia, Italy, eto.are mentioned confidently
as undivided units of strength. But as yet
no one in the press of Europe or Aaiorica has
bethought him, or at least has expressed the
thought, that there may somewhere beneath
the surface reside a vast, silent, suffering
multitude of men to whom the marching tnd
countermarching of these hosts menu ruin,
misery, and death. What has the individuil
in either nation embattled against the
other to charge upon the poor work
ing man or peasant who lives and
toils beyond the dividing frontier? " He
is a brother in poverty, and in oppression,
perhaps, -with the conscript who is suddenly
called from his humble hearth so f aco bayonet
and bullet for a cause he does not conprn
hend and . to the benefit of men who have
' been the masters of him and of his kindred
before bim for hundreds of years, l'eace is
the gospel of civilization and progress, and
war is the doctrine of every violence and
every vice. A century ago this was not com
prehended, but to-day of the one hundred
and fifty millions of human beings who people
Europe the vast majority, in accepting the
general truths of the religion of Christ and
receiving the rudiments of knowledge, have
learned to look upward for a higher glory
than to manure the soil for the ambitious
satisfaction of a prince, and to a nobler end
of life than the memory of wounds and
slaughter received by their oomrados or in
flicted upon their antagonists.
This is the idea that pervades the working
masses the true bone and sinew of Europe.
Emperors and kings issue pompous orders
from their palaces and bodies of armed sol
diery advanoe to the field of death; but the
million the mass of suffering, toiling men
remember that on the East and West, they
have only brethren laboring and praying like
themselves. This is the inner tone that we
begin to discover already in the great dia
pason of war that sounds in our ears from
beyond the Atlantic. At Strasbourg, at Co
logne, at Geneva in Switzerland, at Florence
and Milan in Italy, the popular party, as con
tradistinguished from the Court and the army,
has spoken. When, as early as 1851, M. Ilo
mieu predicted the coming of the "Hed Spec
tre" he feared the terrific outburst of re-
' volutionary passion that then threatened to
overthrow all forms of order in Europe.
But the rise of Napoleon III and his military
government conjured the ghost and laid it
with the welcome formula, "The empire is
peace." Peace alone was the safety, and
" only with peace could the old systems hope
for any lingering permanence, lint now it
has been shown by war after war, culminating
at last in a catastrophe that has no bettar
pretext than the succession to a discarded
t crown in a country of but third or fourth-rate
importance in the world, that while the
, monarchical ByBtem endures and standing
armies are tolerated there is no guarantee
against a sudden deluge of blood. The only
rainbow in the sky to the nations of the earth
is seen in the colors of the republic, one and
universal. This is a mighty lesson, and at
the hour while we write the peoples of the
Eastern hemisphere watch impatiently for
the moment wiien by mutual del eats tue iron
rod wielded by either hand of armed power
shall be worn ana broKen. livery necessary
of ' life made coBther, the very finer of
. Providence, by its shortening bounties in tho
harvest field and its burning heats on laa 1
and sea, pointing to a period of intense tri
bulation, how shall the people exult in mutual
' slaughter?
The voice of the humble ascends to the
throne of God for rescue from this endless
scourge. The prayers of all good men go up
incessantly for peace and for the banishment
of the causes and instruments of war. How
. shall the most venerable and most enlight
ened nations of the world continue this
bloody orgie while on tho hither borders of
the ocean there is a spectacle of strength.
prosperity, and happiness with liberty, and
without the sword, continually offered to
their gaze ? This war, with its accumulated
horrors, will do more to utterly disgust men
with the grim Moloch that has so long deluded
and trampled on them, and its memories will
more incline them to the cause of republican
ism, and, we believe, of final truth and peaco
among nations, man any event since the cru
cifixion.
TUE TIIEATHE OF THE WAK.
From the X. Y. Sun.
Good maDS of Eurone can be found in
every household every school atlas contains
them and ail who wish to follow the de
velopments of the war with intelligence will
do well to gather from the map a clear idea of
the general features of the country in which
the fighting is to take place. In studying the
map, the first, object to be examined is the
beundary line between France and Germany;
and its most obvious peculiarity is that near
. Lauterburg it forms almost a right angle.
One side of the angle is marked by the ltbino,
the other is a conventional lino from east to
west. The aggregate length of these two
sides is less than 300 miles. Luxemburg and
Belgium on the northwest and Switzerland
on the southeast are neutral territories, and do
not come into consideration at present, as
their neutrality will doubtless be respected,
at least during the earlier stages of the con
flict. The Rhine rises among the glaciers of the
central Alps, flows north to the deep lake of
Constance, and thence pursues a westerly
course as far as Basel, the capital city of the
Swiss canton of the 8&me name. From Basel
it flows north by east to the great German
fortress of Mentz, or Mayence, in Hesse.
This part of its valley is a fertile, low plain,
about thirty miles wide, which is bounded on
both sides by mountains and levated pla
teaus, on the east by the Black end Odea
Forests, and on the west by the Vosges aid
Haardt mountains.
At Bingen, a few miles west of Mentz. the
Ithine changes its course to the northwesc,
' traversing a deeply-cut gorge of theKheius'i
plateau. It is this part of its valley which
is so famous for its picturesque beauty, and
whose vine-clad hills, turreted castles, aud
hoary ruins attract so many tourists from all
parts of the world.
' From Basel to the little river L&uter the
P.hine flows between France and tho grand
duchy ef Baden. For the nxt ".".0 miles it
flows through German territory, having the
Bavarian Palatinate, a small part of liesse,
and a large part of tho Prussian Uhine prov
ince, upon its western bank.
The ailments of llie Hume, wnose banks
will soon resound wih the din of battle, are
the Moselle and the Nahe. The Moselle
rises on ' the western flanks of thd Vosge9
ruonrtaiLS, flows through the hilly region of
nortbenskrn France, then separates Luxem
burg from PPQHa, and at last traverses a very
tortuorts and deeply cut valley. It reeoivs
tho Ka're, or Soar, which, rising in France,,
flows through southwestern Prussia. The
Nnbe rises in Prussia, and flows into tho
Mine at Fingen. Its tributary, the Glan,
flow s through a valley wlich opens into the
volley of the Saar.
We may safely ussume that tho first battle
of Ihe war will be fought near tho north
eastern bourdery of France, somewhere be
tween tho valley of tho ltliiue and the valley
of the Mosdle. The Prussian forces are
massed on tl;e north, the French on the south
of this line. Lach army l&s in its rear a
series of strongly fortified places, with which
sevetal lines oi railway maintain an easy ana
rapid communication.
'ihe country between tue luune ana tne
Moselle consists of two belts of hilly plateaus,
which are fceparated by th valley of the
tipper Faar. the Glan, and the lower Nahe
mentioned above, tne eastern belt includes
he Ilaardt and the northern continuation of
thc Vosges mountains. It is covered with
dense forests end intersected in an irregular
manner by numerous gorges and vaUeys,
which would seriously impede military opera
tions. A railroad crosses it on German soil,
connecting Mannheim and Speyer on the
Khme, by way of Kaiserlauteru, witu haar
bruck on the Suar. Another railroad crosses
rn French soil, from Strasbourg to Sarro
bour,?. The western belt includes . elevated ridges
and broken table lands, and, although easier
of eccess than the eastern, twould make the
avrcn of an invading force extremely diffi
cult and fatignirg. A railroad from Biugon
follows the valley of the Nahe, and leads to
Saartu uek on tho Saar, and thenoe to Metz
on the Moselle.
It is most likely that the operations at the
openir of the campaign will be conducted
through the two valleys above described.
The broken grouud enclosing them will
afford excellent positions for defense and
offense. Ihe country Is sucn as to give
ample opportunity to the oommanders to
cprry out brilliant manoeuvres; and i' remaius
to bo Bern which of the two parties will ex
hibit the greater talent, promptness, and
celerity.
Frarce has along her noTibwcfain frontier
a scries of secondary fortresses, which are not
very important, except as points of support
in a position occupied by the army. Such
are Lauterbourg and Weisseubourg, east of
the Vosges mountains, and Thionville, on
the Mosello. Further inland are two fortified
rln?s of the first rank, Strasburg on the,
Rhine, and Metz on the Moselle, neither of
of which would bo passed by an invading
army without absorbing at least a corps of
observation.
The only Prussian fortress near the fron
tier is Saarlonis on the Saar, which mate
rially aids iu the defense of this valley. On
the Ithine there are several fortresses of the
first rank, two of which are at 'presont con
sidered by good authorities impreguable
Metz, opposite tne moutn or tne Mam river,
and Ehrenbreitstein, opposite the mouth of
tho Moselle, near the city of Coblentz.
The plans of operations are or coarse
known only to the commanders and their
staff officers, and all speculations regarding
them are futile. Prominent officers of both
armies have for years past studied ths ground
and its advaiitrges for attack or defense. The
ttrategical design adopted by either side has
been carefniiy matured, and it is cot likely
that grave errors will be committed- General
von Moltke, of the Prussian army, proved his
skill in. the brilliant cuapvgu of lSliu.
Whether the French nossess an offiosr of
equal genius is doubtful. Their recent cam
paigns in tho Crimea and Northern Italy did
not show a strategist or great resources.
The operations will bo of extreme interest,
not onlv from the magnitude of tho armies.
bnt still more from the intellectual forces
arrayed against each other.
"DKAPERY MISSES."
From the N. F. Timet.
A French journalist, M. Be strand, has dis
covered a new trade, which he says is carried
on in London. It is th delight of many
Parisians to detect tresn and nemous sins in
the British capital, whioh, through the pens
of its writers. Las so long flaunted virtuous
indignation before the eyes of naughty Paris,
The gay denizen of the Boulevards regards

trends new trad j is an illustration of this
concealed turpitude, and hin aooount of it
must have been quite u delicious morsel for
bis current literary repast. It consists, as
he explains, in carefully selecting handsome
gins oi low station, ana, alter mating a
strict bargain with them, adroitly teaching
them to plivy the part of young ladies. Thoy

few lessons in doportment rnd speech,, and
then judiciously cxnibued in Kotten li w.
the Zoolcgicnl Gardens, tho opera, and other
fashionable resorts, until they "attract the
attention and gain the heart and ultimately
the hand of some nob. man. The enterpris
ing operator is a matrimonial agont. After
him, of comae, comes the delude. "Little
by little," says the delighted M. Bertrand.
"ihe poetio illusions of the honeymoon dis
appear, until fct lust the husband discovers
that he has married a girl without position
or educauon. fco mncn tne worie! liut in
the meanwhile the bargain has been struck,
and the matrimonial aent has pocketed his
premium.
Thcefl l AfA-if i ntr -na on .allail t an

so many vulgar-looking women are at the
head of rich men's families in England is that
each of their husbands in the callow years of
youtn wiu caugnt by a '".urepery Miss. It
teeins to be taken for granted that while
originally dazzled by the spells of his enchan
tress aided by her ingenious preceptor the
averr.pe iloghshman is totally incapable of
perceiving ti e absence of the education And
manner which ae characteristic of young
ladies. ny oook-maid, with fine eyes, a pro
fusion of sunny hair, and a superficial laoqaer
of style acquired, let us say, iu six easy les
sons, can sub' me this amorous John Bull,
and bear Lira off In, triumph. Tho horrid

for the .hymeneal market. The happy pos
sessor of the cook-maid makes the best of a
bad bargain, and their future marital felicity
is typified in the experiences of Mr. and Mrs.
Cnudle.
Although unable to accept M. Bertrand s
amusing statement precisely as he would have
rtsr we have tto doubt there is some indirect
truth in it, for the following reasons: It is
admitted, and is indeed a subjeot of general
complaint in England, that men shirk mar
riage, end especially shirk it in their own
rniik In life. Women are more numerous in
Irigland than men, and by natural laws, the
reverse operation of which has been seen in
California and Australia, are relatively less
sought after. Living is very costly, female
drens Las been growing more extravagant,

cluding what relates to the government of the
leniily, have become more exacting. Lng-
litbmen Lesitate more, therefore, than they
once did to put their heads in the noose. At
the pa rue time, the worship of mere beauty
in women for reasons easy to point out is
more prevalent than ever. By all
there circumstances the chances of
success for schemes like those of M. Ber
traiid's "Drapery Misses" manifestly in
crease. Eager to carry their point, neither
the "Miss" nor her instructor is likely to" be
over-strenuous as to settlements, the victim,
even if suspicions, as in fact he often would
be, touching the obscurity of his charmer's
onin, niignt secretly nope to be compen

end the lady's good looks might thus carry
the day, when in other circumstances her
intending spouse would shrink from matri
mony altogether. M. Bertrand is perhaps
not so far wrong as regards the substantial
occurrence of what he depicts, although he
probably commits an error in declaring that
to be a regular trade which only presents it-
Fell as an occasional conspiracy. hat is
really odd about his story is, that M. Ber
trand should impute to London a business
which at least four French dramatists, dur
ing the last few years, have, by implication,
lastened upon x'ans; a lact or wnicn it ap
pears not a little remarkable that a French
journalist should be ignorant.
MEMORIALS AS MERCHANDISE.
from the A'. Y. World.
To honor our dead is one of the deepest,
as certainly it is one of the most nearly uni
versal, or unman instincts. To do them
honor by making real sacrifices in their be
half la a practice so prevalent from the
cremation of herself to which "every woman
os calls nerself a lady leels compelled upon
the deuth of her lord in aboriginal India, and
t he sacrifice of horses and dogs which accom
panies the funeral of a warrior in aboriginal
America, to "tne splendid sorrows that adorn
the hearse" of civilization, and the monu
ments in which good-feeling and bad taste
have combined to "disfigure and present'' the
virtues of the dead in the cemeteries of
civilization, from Montmartre to Greenwood
iuui we are jusimeu iu considering it one
of the few indisputable indications of the
real as well as the nominal kindred of man
kind. Any conspicuous disregard, and.
much more, any conspicuous defiance of this
icstinct inflicts a shock upon us, though it be
told of a stranger. It is a feeling of real
pain that it causes when it is told of such
a familiar friend to all of us as Charles
Dickens. ' ; '
Precisely what circumstances have neces
Bitateo tne saie oi tne novelist a enects we
are not informed, and it is neither necessary
nor decent for us to inquire. It is, however.
a perfectly publio fact that his death has left
his family in a condition very far removed
from destitution; and it is a perfectly fair
comment upon that fact to say that the sud
den dispersion, by public sale, of the trea
sured trifles which had been accumulated
during a lifetime by private diligence and
private taste was neitner a necessary nor de
cent tiling to do, and tfiat witn a proper feel
ing on the part of those who may have per-
muted or compelled it, it would nave been an
impossible tmng to do. mat tnis view was
taken of it by those who were concerned in it
we may conclude from the proclamation
whicn tne executors of Mr. Dickens will have
very properly put forth, that no choice was
left them by those in whose behalf they were
acting, and w no mignt have been expected to
cnensn a more tender regard for Mr. Dickens
memory and a higher appreciation of the
sanctity of whatever objects were closely
associated witn tnat memory than themselves.
It is not at all consoling to find that what
was tnus essentially a shabby transaction was
rendered shabbier still by the vulgarity with
which it was conducted: nor will the shame
which strangers feel, and which members of
ms own household seem not to have felt.
over wnat may stnetly be called a desecra
tion of the memory of Mr. Dickens, be at
all allayed by the announcement that the
associations which gave the objects thus dis
posed oi tne extrinsic value which was their
main value, were so mucn more pre
cious to strangers tnan to those
to whom they ought to have been most
precious that the collection sold for five or
six times its intnnsio value. For that an
nouncement only goes to show that they of a
man's own household may speculate upon the
existence and ethcaoy in others of an affec
tionate remembrance which prompts them to
saennce money lor tne possession of memo
rials which they themselves are willing to
saennce for money. .
This disagreeable topio would hardly be
worm treating were it not tnat it exhiuits a
British phase of a lack of right feeling in a
direction which the PBritish harisee assumes
to be a peculiarly American direction. It is
the custom in the British navy, as it is not the
custom in the American navy, to expose for
sale the effects of the sailor who has died at
sea. To have his raiment parted among his
survivors, and to have lots cast for his
vesture, was the supreme posthumous indig
nity wnicn the Hebrew psalmist looked for
ward to at the hands of his enemies. Yet this
is almost literally the indignity which the
British novelist has suffered at the hands of
his friends. When the widow of the late Mr.
Lincoln, though with the palliation of pov
erty, and with every precaution for privacy,
hawked ber own raiment in the market-plaoe,
in spite of her being the widow of a popular
publio man, a British critic congratulated his
countrymen that from such a spectacle they
were "undoubtedly preserved." The 'critic is
requested to ponder the circumstance that a
member of the family of the late Mr. Dickens
is responsible for having hawked in the mar
ket-place, without the palliation of poverty,
and with every device to secure publicity,
whatever connected itself most intimately
with the private life of the most popular of
imtisn pubno writers.
TnE WEDDING OF THE PERIOD.
From th Cleveland LeatUr,
Miss Blanche Butler has become Mrs.
Ames and has duly gone on her wedding tour,
leaving behind a doting mother and four
adoring bridesmaids, some of whom, it is
painful to see, have been so far wanting In
womanly modesty aud deoency as to publish
In half a dozen leading papers a detailed de
scription of the bridal trouaeau. The happy
bridegroom, as he looks over a morning
paper on bis tour, will be delighted to find
the public graciously treated to a rail descrip
tion of bis wife's outfit from robe de nuit t
stockings and handkerchiefs. The labors of
Miss Butler's aunt, Mrs. Webster, in Paris,
while ordenng and collecting this immense
and extravagant outfit, are plaintively related,
the width of the trimmings, the cut of the
jackets, and even the quality of the lace on
the corset covers, are tenderly and lovingly
described. . In short, nothing has been spared
(bat could help to show how insufferably
vulgar and snobbish a thing may be done in
American society by those who ought to know
better. From the first this weddiDg has been
an infliction of the gravest sort.
The wedding day, leading points of tne
frovsscav, the names and dresses of the
bridesmaids, and all sorts of little despicable
gopsip about t he lovers, have been written and
telegraphed all over the country for months.
A wedding, one of the most sacred and deli
cate subjects that a marauding pen can
invade, Las been clothed with all the vulgar
ostentations of a cattle show. All this could
not have happened by chance. No reporter
could know how many or how elaborately
furbelowed were the underclothes of the ex
pectant Mrs. Ames without some one high in
authority in the Butler family was willing and
anxious that these things should be known.
hen, therefore, we see sucu papers as the
Boston Post falling into line and giving a
whole column to a description of the walking
dresses, the silk stockings and tne embroi
dered canibnc jackets, and fairly distancing
the veriest Jenkins that ever wrote down his
peepings for the London Morning Post, it
locks as thou on there were a very weak spot,
not only in our journalism, but in American
society.
Ihe fashion of:displaying bridal trousseaux
in show windows, and having them described
in newspapers, is known n jwhere else than
in America. In England or on the Continent
such an act would be very properly regarded
as a lasting disgrace, bnch a display must be
Kbocking to every sensitive, modest woman.
iortrnately for us, such immodesty as that
w hich we have just seen is too costly to be
common; but in almost every town there is
some wealthy girl vain and foolish enough to
delight in such a display, and there is in so
ciety at largo enough of prurient curiosity to
make all such disclosures eagerly sought after
and read. ith such shameless exhibitions
as these going on troni time to time, it is
hardly becoming in us to complain when well
bred people from abroad pronounce Ameri
can society crude, vulgar, and disgusting.
The only consoling feature of the case is that
the lengths to which our brides and their
motherB are now running will produce a re
action, in which all decent people shall unite
in resolving that their weddings, like their
funerals, shall be purely private affairs.
