Another Comfact Imminent
From the tenor of our despatches this
morning, we think there is scarcely room
to doubt that war will be the result of
the Russian demand for a revision of the
treaty of Paris. The excitement in Lou
don and on the Continent is intense, and
the indignation of the British Cabinet,
Press and people, ominous. Prince Gort
schakoff's circular has aroused England,
Austria, Italy, and Turkey, and they pre
sent an unbroken front in oposition to
the government at St. Petersburg. The
most active military preparations are re
ported, and nothing but an immediate
and - _complete withdrawal of the Russian
demand can prevent a bloody conflict.
the Czar pursue this humiliating
course? It is extietnely doubtful. Ile is
ready, or thinks he is, for war. Prussia,
if not in sympathy with him, has her
hands - full beyound the Rhine, and the
present is 'die only opportunity he may
—gave-for many years to gratify the
ambition so suddenly and disastrously
checked by the allies fifteen years ago.
The present conflict betwen France and
Germany has been terrible,but if this new
cloud breaks. that which will follow will
eclipse it in every respect. The spectacle
is too fearful to contemplate. A conti
nent in arms half a century ago was not
what it would be to-day. And yet it is
only intelligent men who have closely
watched events since June last have ex
pected. and what indeed, we predict
would be the result if peace did not speed
ily follow the battle of Sedan.
The French are not impressing the
world favorably in the matter of their ca
pacity for self-government. In various
parts of the country riots are common,
and the present government really seems
to be more apprehensive of danger from
anarchy among their own people than
they are of the invincible military of
King William. The bloody era of the
French revolution is yet too vivid in the
minds of men not to make its repetition
a thing to be guarded against. The bet
ter class of the French no doubt feel more
anxiety to have a government that shall
protect their persons and property than
as to whether that government shall be a
republic or a constitutional monarchy, or
something else.
The Mercantile Library Association of
Pittsburg endeavored to secure the ser- ,
vices of Miss Nilsson for two or three
concerts, at their new library hall hall in
that city. ner agent Max Strakosch,
was written to, and generously consented
to give three concerts for the reasonable
sum of $13,000—55,000 to be paid on sign
ing the contract. Or they would agree
to give three concerts, the library associ
ation to pay $3,000 and all expenses, and
equally divide the proceeds. The library
committee thought the proposition en
tirely "too generous, , :. and refusedtp take

GYN. SIIENCK, of Ohio, lately defeated
for Congress, is now spoken of as the
probable nominee for Minister to Eng

are in harmony with those of Genera
Grant on the Alabama claims which are
said to be substantially the views of Sen
ator Sumner, au Eastern man. It is un
derstood that a Western man is to have
this mission, and so there may be some
truth in these rumors concerning General
Shenck.

TIRE NEW ROUTE TO ST. LOUIS
Short Line, via Decatur.
The Toledo, Wabash & Western is one
of the great railroad corporations of the
country. Its eastern terminus is Toledo,
but it has four terminal points in the west,
vis: Keokuk, Iowa; Quincy, Illinois;
Hannibal, Mo.; St. Louis, Mo. At Keo
kuk to connect with the Des Moines Val
ley Road. and through it with the Chica
go and Northwestern to Omaha, passing
through the heart of lowa. At Quincy it
strikes the Hannibal and St. Joe Road,and
makes all points in Kansas, and with the
St. Joe and Council Bluffs Road, a direct
connection with the Union Pacific and
the entire State of Missouri. Leaving
the Quincy line at Bluff City, a branch
goes direct to Hannibal, Mo., thence over
the new Hannibal, and Moberly Road to
Kansas City and Leavenworth, making
by this route an almost air line from To
ledo to Kansas City. These three termi
nal points control a large portion of the
West.
.Editor
This 'company has now completed its
new road from Decatur, 111., to East St.
Louis, making a direct, continuous line
from the head of Lake Erie to St. Louis,
without break or change of cars.
Tee completion of this connection is an
event in the history of Railroads in this
country. St. Louis is the chief cityon the
Mississippi, and is the point of departure
for the vast territory in the west.
The 'Wabash route is now prepared as
well for passenger traffic as any road i n
the United States, and the completion of
this most importaht connection gives it a
hold upon business which it has hereto
fore made no special effort to secure.
The Company's officers have made am
ple arrangements to properly accommo
date the immense tide of travel that will
naturally seek this avenue. They have
placed upon the road new and elegant
passenger coaches, fitted up regardless of
expense, the ruling ideas being comfort
and safety. There - is absolutely nothing
lacking in their cars. The ornamentation
is rich and chaste, the seats are not only
beautiful but luxurious, and the heating
apparatus is the best we have ever seen.
To so fine a point have they brought this
important item that every passenger may
have almost the precise temperature pre
ferred.
The sleeping cars now on the road are
Pullman's best, but the Company are
building six in their shops in Toledo that
excel "Pullman's best" in almost every
particular. The finishing and furnishing
are superb, and every convenience that
has ever been devised is made use of. .
The new depots at St. Louis are the most
commodious in that city. The company
have constructed a new passenger depot at
the ferry, and the Transit Company have
built a new and complete equipment of
of Omnibusses and Baggage Wagons es
pecially for this road, which rim to every
part of the ciiy—to private houses and
hotels, as well as to depots of other rail
roads.
We believe that the greatest part of the
travel to the Great West will pass over
this route—indeed we do not see how it
can be otherwise. The trains from the
East make close connection in the Union
depot at Toledo, and from Toledo to the
Mississippi there is no change whatever.
The traveler whose destination in Kan
sas saves several hours of time by taking
this route, and he goes in such comfort,
and with such perfect assurance of safety,
as to make it preferable, even though he
save nothing in time thereby.
The traveling public in the East will
do well to remember the WAhash route,
when• arranging for a trip to the West.
There is no better read in the country and
the day is not far distant when it will be
so acknowledged by traveling men.
Austria° Notified of the Abro-
Fatiou of the Neutrality Treaty.
WASHEs.:GTON 7 N ov. 13.—[Special to
the New York Times.}—The Secretary
of State received a despatch last mg
from Vienna to the following effect:
VIENNA, Nov. 12.—Austria is officially
notified that Russia will no longer observe
the treaty of 1850 touching the Black Sea.
If this be true, the neutrality of the
waters of the Black Sea is abrogated, and
Austria and England will be compelled to
take notice of Russia's action. It also
has a significant bearing upon the atti
tude of Austria, on the subject of medi
, ation in France. There seeips to be no
doubt that from 'fife beginning of the
present struggle Russia has kept a sharp
watch on Austria, and - for every soldier
armed by the hitter she has armed two

WAR SUMMARY.
Jules Favre has issued a circular to the
representatives of France in foreign
countries, assuring them that Prussia
must asyumo the responsibility of rejec
ing the proposal of an armistice. Prussia
proves anew, says Favre, in rejecting the
armistice, that she makes warfor personal
aims merely. and not for the interests of
Germany. :Nothing can apparently in
duce her to relinquish the pretest of the
French refusal to cede her provinces to
Prussia. She seeks our destruction and
will be satisfied with nothing else.
Favre then proceeds to lay before the
French ambassadors a detailed account
of the negotiations with M. Bismarck for
au armistice, and shows what lie regards
as the unreasonable demands of the Prus
sian authorities. He says the govern
ment will faithfully attempt to render
peace possible, and in that she will have
the co-operation of the Army of Paris.
Meanwhile Paris calls to arms to show
what a great people can do to defend their
home, their honor, and their indepen
dence.
lieratry, having organized the army of
the West, is forming a camp in Brittany
for another army of 100,000 strong.
Lyons is preparing for defence, and Tou
louse is sending forward large numbers
of troops, fully armed and equipped. Or
der prevails in both cities, and also at
Marseilles, where the internal dissensions
have disappeared... ,
Several minor engagements have taken
place within the past week, with varying
results.
A Berlin despatch says Prussia's disre
gard of Austria's attempts at peace inter
vention causes apprehensions of compli
cation between the two countries. An
unfriendly feeling is already engendered.
Details of the victory of General D'Au
relies de Paladines over General Von Der
Tann have been received. The engage
ment commenced both at the east and
west of Orleans, on ' Wednesday. the 9th
instant, and was continued until the
evening of Thursday. During Thursday
the French drove the Prussians from Or
leans, inflicting severe loss upon them,
and are now in occupation of the city.
There was fighting all day on Thursday
near Coulommiers, in which the French
were successful, and that General Palier
es occupied Chevally, north of Orleans,
taking 600 prisoners and two guns. Ab
solute quiet prevails around Paris.
Masses of French troops are seen daily
around Valerien practising evolutions on
a grand scale, and a general sortie is im
minent.
La Situation says that Gambetta is en
gaged in au intrigue for the restoration
of the Orleans dynasty.
The North German Parliament meets
at Berlin to-day week, to raise means for
carrying on the war.
The whole tide of popular feeling now
in England is running strongly in favor
of the French. Even the times, feeling
this influence, has changed its tone and
now urges Germany to make peace, to
withdraw from France while she may do
so with safety.
The Russian minister at London read
to Lord Granville letters from Prince
Gortsehakoff, stating that Russia uow de
mands a modification or abolition of the
provision signed at the convention in
Paris on iNfarch 30, 185.3, and articles 11
and 13 in the treaty of Paris of April 27,
1656.
This declaration on the part of Russia
being simultaneously made in London by
the Cabinets of Constantinople, Vienna,
and Berlin, is believed to indicate Rus
sia's readiness to insist on a recognition
of her claims by force.
The official journal at Constantinople
says that Turkey is now ready. to resist
anv attack; that it has 600,000 men and
twelve armed frigates.
linauthenticated despatches from Blois
and Tours contain confused accounts of
another victory obtained by Aurelles over
Von Der Tann, near Arthenay.
The engagement resulted in the com
plete repulse of the Germans, and
the capture of a large number of prison
ers and 26 guns.
A change of plans has occurred at Ly
ons. An immediate attack on the city is
threatened by the Germans. The recent
firing from the guns in the enciente at
Paris shows that they have a far greater
range than has hitherto been supposed.
Shells of these guns on Monday reached
and demolished the German works be

General Trochu daily marches out fifty
or sixty battalions of men under the gnus
of Fort Mont Valerien. The Prussians
are hourly expecting him to make a grand
sortie.
A special correspondent states that in
formation has been received that Paris
cannot hold out more than three weeks
longer. It is therefore intended by the
Prussian military authorities to trust to
hunger to compel the surrender of the
city. "No bombardment of the city wfll

A diplomatic note from the Russian
Minister of Foreign Affairs declares there
is no existing alliance between Russia and
Prussia. It is now the impression in
government circles at London that a
peaceful solution of the question will be
sucessfully agreed upon. Russia is ex
pected to submit her desires to diplomat:
is representation.
Russia has sixty iron-clad gunboats in
the Baltic Sea ready for use. The gov
ernment declares it does not desire war,
only equal rights in the Black Sea with
Turkey, and proposes a new treaty instead
of that of 1856.
Versailles advises say the position of
the Germans has become extremely crit
ical, and alarm prevails among all who
understand the situation. The King
would return immediately to Berlin, but
it was not considered safe to permit him
to depart without a very large escort,•
which could not he spared, as he would
be captured or shot by francAireurs, who
are swarming all over the country. So
great are Molke's apprehensions of the
consequences of attack hi force by Troche
and a simultaneous assault on the part of
the Army of the Loire, that entrench

TINE BEAUTIES OE TIM LAW.
A correspondent of the Norwich Bul
letin, who writes from North Kingston,
Rhode Island, says that about four years
since, Mr. Sylvester Franklin of that
place brought action against John Brown
of the same town, for damages to his wife
in a collision of vehicles in the public
highway. Mr. Brown is a very old man
and drives a very slow horse, and Frank
lin's wife is much younger and drives a
fast horse.
At the time of the collision she was ra
cing with another party, and they were
driving very fast clown hill and around a
corner, when they suddenly came upon
old Mr. Brown, who was coming from
the mill, and did not succeed in giving
quite half the road, as the notice was
rather short for age and slow team,conse
quently they collided, Mrs. Franklin go
ing uncerimoniously over the dasher and
fracturing an arm.
For this Mr. Brown was sued, and af
ter a severe contest, in which the lawyers
have not failed to take all the advan
tages of motions for new trials and writs
of error, and whatever other devices
known to the law and requisites in a
ruinous lawsuit, it has at last come to
a close in favor of the defendant.
The suit has been most severe in its
consequence upon the parties. The plain
tiff ha, spent nearly all of the little prop
etry saved by years of industry, which a
short time previously he had invested in
a snug little home, and when the final
judgment was given he lifted up his voice
and wept.
Mr. Brown is nearly SO years .of age,
and though possessing a comfortable
share of this world's goods, has, been
even more of a sufferer from this ill-chos
en suit, having been harrassed for such a
long time : the excitement at last proved
too much for his enfeebled constitution,
and while upon the witness stand, being
brow-beaten by the shrewdest-'of iSatinsel
on the cross-examination, he had a para
lytic shock, which deprives him of the
use of one side from head to foot.
TEST OF SOBRIETY.
About a generation by-gone there flour
ished in Western Michigan a certain
Squire T—, whose stalwart sons now
till the parential acres, in whose honesty
the community had great confidence, but
who had an unfortunate failing—drink.
Ile had been known to try cases when
he would have been more appropriately
in bed. Upon one occasion an appeal was
taken from a judgment rendered, as it
was alleged, when "the wine was in and
the wit out."
Udder the broad latitude taken at that
day, a full inquiry was gone into, upon
the trial of the appeal, as to the question
of sobriety of the Justice, and their was
much conrtadictory testimony—the friends
of the Justice swearing one way, his en
emies directly contrary.
At length a very candid witness ap
peared, who testilied with apparent cir
cumspection—so great, indeed, that on
the direct examination almost nothing
was elicited from him.
Upon the cross- examination, the law
yer conducting it made a very common
mistake and being unwilling to "let well
enough alone," kept driving away at the
witness until he finally felt safe in put
ting the leading and dangerous question:
"Did you not look upon the Justice,
upon the trial of that cause, as a perfect
ly sober man?"
- The witness hesitated, and the counsel
pressed the interrogatory still closer.
The witness finally emitted the following,
with great difficulty, as though it had
been drawn from him painfully :
"I should hare thought so only for one
thing."
"Well," said the cross-examiner, "what
was that?"
"I saw him fill up his inkstand With
whiskey, and take a snifter out of the
ink-bottle!"
The cross-examination stopped at that
point.
" THE DULL OE."
It is a common notion that oxen are
rather stupid animals. But the Glouces
ter Advertiser tells of an old ox which
belongs to the Granite Company down
there, which certainly is not a very dull
animal, and should be classed with the
horses, and even dogs for sagacity and '
~:reasoning facipties. It is, the-weea - slon,
which developes the man, and so clearly
is it with animals. It seems that a yoke
of oxen which had long born the heat and
burden ofthe Granite Company's work,
one had become too lame for further use
fulness, and, in considerati m for past
usefulness,thc twain were made 'emeritus'
oxen of the company, which they had so
long served, and were turned out to grass.
3 few days since the lame ox was seen
limping towards the blacksmith's shop,
where he had been often shod, and, ma
t king his way into the shop, he took his
nlace in the shoeing frame and held up
1
i his crippled foot to the curious smith,
7.h'i watched his singular movements.—
; ..t...s this. though passing strange, was very
1 im:tenigible language to the blacksmith,
•; he immediately examined the foot, and to
hiseat - ..-1 - tisfaction and joy of the ani
, mtal..liscovered the secret of the lamness
• and the significancy of the animal's in
telligent actions. A small stone had got
I crowded under the shoe, and pressed on
i the foot in a way to produce the lameness.
I The stone was removed and the animal
was then sent away. no doubt rejoicing
in his ox heart that there was at least one
man who could understand the ox lan
guage sufficiently well to relieve ox suf
fering.
Philosophers may call this instinct or
what they will we call it reasoning—
good. clear. satisfactory, shrewd, syllogis
tic reasoning—from cause to effect—from
premise to conclusion.—.Roston naveller.
ORPHAN nomE IN - TEN
.sissr.E.—The Masons of Tennessee are
raising an endowment fund for the pur
pose of establishing a Masonic Orphans
Borne in each grand division of the state.
The design is to purchase or receive by
gift one thousand or fifteen hundred acres
of land in each division, upon a portion
of which is to be erected school houses
and 'churches. Three or four hundred
acres arc to be laid off 'in two-acre lots
each divided into a yard, garden, &c.
Upon each lot will be a home for each
Mason's widow and children that may
need it, food and raiment also• to be fur
nished. The children are to feceive an
education at the school, qualifying them
for any station in life. The' boys, when
strong enough, are to cultivate the farm
by detail of two or three hours' work
daily, making it. as far as possible, self
sustaining, the deficiency supplied by the
interest on the endowment fund. Thus
all will be made happy and useful, and
young ladies_awizentlemen will be train
ed up who will be ornaments to society,
useful to the State, and the pride and
glory of the Masonic fraternity. Seventy
two Masonic Lodges of the State have al
ready contributed $78,510 towards thiS
noble work, and from indications and the
liberality with which all are responding,
it is quite certain that by another season
the sum of s‘2.oo,ofiti will have been secur
ed, enough to insure the usefulness, suc
cess and permanency of the institutions.

rick sustaining snapped with the weight
and the ponderous mass fell on the false
forma beneath, and about 100 feet of the

IN JAIL FOR DEBT
The'following anecdote is told' of - X.
Wiertz, the celebrated German 'painter,
was sometimes called "The Crazy Artist:"
"After having finished the portrait of the
old aristocratic' Countess de :IV—, who
Pretended to be only thirty when nearly
sixty years of age, she refused to accept
the painting saying, it did not look
,any
thing like her; that her most intimate
friends would not recognize a single fea
ture of her's on that piece of canvas.
Wiertz smiled kindly at the remark, and
as true night of old re-conducted the lady
gallantly to her carriage. The next
morning there was a grand disturbance
in the Ituede la, Madelaine. A big crowd
gathered before a window, and the fol
lowing words were wispered from ear to
ear: "Is the wealthy Countess de 31-7 re
ally in jail for debt?" Wiertz had exer
cised a little vengeance towards his noble
but unfair customer. As soon as she re
fused the portrait, he set to work and
painted a few iron bars on the picture,
with these words, 'ln jail for debt.' He
exhibited the painting in a jeweler's
window, in the principal street in Brus
sels. The effect was instantaneous. A few
hours later the Countess was back at
Wiertz's studio, pouring invectives upon
him at high pressure, to have exhibited
her likeness under such scandalous, etc.
"Most noble lady," was the artist's reply,
"you said the painting did not look any
thing like yourself, and that your most
intimate friends would not have recog
nized a single one of your features in the
Picture. I wanted simply to test the
truth of your statement, that is all."
The portrait was taken away, and the
city laughed, the artist charged double
price, and gave the amount to the poor of
the . city."
RESPECT FOR WORICMEN.—How rarely
do we estimate the influence of a kind
word, and encouraging smile or a little
substantial help in times of special need.
How rarely employers think it worth
their while to break down the icy barrier
betweed themselves and their workmen
by recognizing them on the streets or in
the shops, at times when recognition is
not merely a matter of business. How
many of such employers are every day
subjected to heavy losses merely because
they cannot bring themselves to unbend
their dignity, "and teach those in their em
ploy that they are really members of so
ciety, and entitled to be respected as such.
The employer who has a kind word for
his hands, who feels interest enough in
their affairs to inquire concerning the
health of their families, who sympathizes
with them in their affliction, and who,
everywhere, treats them with decent re
spect, will find his reward, not merely in
their gratitude, but in the larger amount
and better quality of labor rendered by
them. Where such a mutuality of feel
ing exists, there is on the one side the
conscousness of having acted the part of
a true man, while on the other there will
almost necessarily spring up an honest de
sire to do all that can be, reasonably, for
the promotion of such an employer's in
terests. This simple kindly recognition
which we have spoken. cheers the hearts
of tne workmen, gives to them a higher
feeling of self-respect, and relieves them
from that most depressing and humilia
ting of all feelings—social inferiority.
A FUNERAL SERMON
In the Galaxy, Mark Twain tells the
following anecdote of a well-known cler
gyman : It is said that a man of small
consequence died, and the Rev. T. K..
Beecher was a.g&d. to Vreach the finieral
sermon—a man who abhors the lauding
of people, either dead or alive, except in
dignified and simple language, and then
only for the merits which they merely
ought to have possessed. The friends of
the deceased got a stately funeral. They
must have had misgivings, that the corpse
might not be praised strong enough, for
they prepared some manuscript headings
and notes in which nothing was left un
said on that subject that a fervid imagi
nation and an unabridged dictionary
could compile, and these they handed to
the minister as he entered the pulpit.—
They were merely intended as sugges
tions, and so the friends were tilled with
consternation when the minister stood
up in the pulpit and proceeded to read off
the curious odds and ends in ghastly de
tail and in a loud voice ! And their con
sternation solidified to petrification when
he paused at the end, contemplated, the
multitude reflectively, and then said, im
pressively : "The man would be a fool
who tried too add anything to that. Let
us pray."
TRE LARGEST RAFT EVER RUN ON
THE Alississwrx RIVER.—We clip the
following from the Muscatine (lowa)daily
Telegraph of Oct. 15th.:
Mr. George Winnans, in the employ of
the Union Lianbering, Company, of Chip
pewa Falls, Wis., of Which Lieutenant
Governor Pound is President, arrived
here with the largest float of lumber that
has ever been run on this or any other
river. it is 1S strings in width—each
string containing 17 cribs, 16x32 feet, and
16 courses of boards deep—making 306
cribs. The contents are about 2,300,000
feet of lumber ; 100,000 laths, and 40,000
pickets, the total value of which in this
market, in the water, is upwards of
540,000. Verily, the lumber business on
the Mississippi is getting to be a big
thing. The• raft covered four acres of
surface.
T BECOMES OF OLD SHOES.-
Many people wonder where the old shoes
go to, It is hard for large families to get
rid of them. But few are well informed
enough to know that what they send away
as so much trash often comes back again
in the shape of ornamental or useful ar
ticticles. Old shoes are cut up in small
pieces, and these are put, for a couple of
days. in chloride of sulphur, which makes
the leather very hard and brittle, 'After
this is effected, the material is washed in
water, dried, ground to powder, and mix
ed with sonic substance which makes the
particles adhere together, as shellac, good
glue or thick solution of gum. It is then
pressed into moulds, and shaped into
combs, buttons, knife-handles, and many
other articles,
