EITROPEAN AFFAIRS
LETTER FMOU FAKES.
I iturrelposidenoe of the Philadelphia Evening Sulletlal
Pansy, Tuesday Harela loth, 1888.— In my last
otter I said that all eyes in Europe were turned
terrlad America, and I can now only repeat that
statement with redoubled force. We have, in
tact. 00 events proceeding here which can at all
",e in importance with those taking plate at
Louie, or avert attention from the paramount in
terest 01 the latter. Indeed, the excitement felt
a I the present moment recalls to mind that which
was experie !Jet d a few years ago,d nring the height
of the military conflict, or when, to make the
parallel more complete, the fate of Lincoln
was iiibt telegraphed to ns. Every Frenchman
is now anxiously inquiring what is to be the fate
Preeldout Johnson, and speculating iu hi=
own way upon the probable issue of the conflict
-which is rising to a climax. Of course, in the
French point of
,view, there can be only one re
cult of the present situation of affairs in the
United States, and that le, a successful or unsuo
cessful (sup d'etat. A Frenchman's political nn
-cierstandi.ig can hardly "rise 11, any other
solution of the difficulty. He is so accus
tomed to see his own paper constitutions
crack with the slightest strain pat upon them,
that he is quite unable to appreciate the elasticity
of really free institutions, or the-skin and pa
' rieuce with - Which a people accustomed toiChnn-
Aired ycars of liberty and sett government work
the vessel of the State through the roughest
storms. Thus, in France,. theyare astonished to
rind the same telegrams which bring us tidings
of the impeachment of the First Magistrate of
the Republic by the Legislature,also announcing
that the public securities of the country are rather
.on the rise.thatt otherwise. Under a similarcon
uition of things in France, and similar language
:end threats used on tither side, people hero know
right well that the Rentes would be down to 80
before many dais were past.
As a general rule, I should say that the Impe
rialists side with the President, and the.liberals
with Congress. 'But the latter are especially
pleaded with the practical demonstration of the
doetrine of "personal responsibility" afforded by
the itapettehment, and sarcastically ask their ad
versaries whether that accords with their ideas of
"imperial" responsibility, under our existing re
gime in France. The notion of the present
Corps Legislatif impeaching Napoleon 111. for
"uncepatitutional" proceedings is certainly not a,
little amusing. And yet _it is not long since a
venerable, imperialist Senator drew a striking
picture'ef the resemblance between the head of
the government of Paris and the head of the go
vernment of Washington, and the general iden
tity of French (imperial) and American institu
tions.
, A private report, mad to have been transmitted
by cable, pitvalls limo to the effect that the
Senate is about to deal with the impilaehment
question through a Committee of Inquiry, rather
num by_ s _direet bin or atrilLeventerwadopt
that course in the first instance. But I merely
mention tbis view as spoken of in Anierican cir
cles here, I need hardly say that among the latter

the perils which threaten.
There is very littler to say respecting Euro
pean affairs. The indieatlons of peace, which I
Insisted on in my_ last, are fully maintained.
Prince Napoleon's incognito visit to Berlin has
become precisely what I announced It in reality
to be Intended for, viz.: An open degtogetration
of a renewed good understanding between
France and Prussia, and afresh pledge of renun
ciation by , the former of all interference in the
internal affairs of Germany.
The Chamber heti, at last, voted the wearisome
Press Law, against a minority of only one dis
sentient voice; that of M. Bcrryer, the legitimist
leader, being, curiously enough, alone uplifted to
the end In favor of greater freedom of public dis
cussion. Tho onlyleoportant amendment allowed
was the rejection of the clause giving theJudgee of
the Correctional Pollee Court power to deprive a
chimp of his electoral rights for lye years for an
offence committed through the press,—a flagrant
masceuvre of the government to silence its po
litical adversaries. The bill for the loan of 440
millions has been presented, u also that fixing
the amount of the Budget forlBo.
The Emperor has ordered that all the scientific
researches of the late Uon Foucault remaining
unfinished at the time of his death shall be car
ried out at his own expense. All the Paris papers
have republished the Emperor's letter, printed in
the Saint Louis journals, thanking the publiehers
of the "magnificent map of the Mississippi Val
ley' for the cepy forwarded to the Prince Im
perial, through the American Minister. The map
hag been largely exhibited by the Emperor to hie
private circle, and has received universal admi
ration.
I met the Emperor to-day, walking at a vigor
-015.5 pace, In the Bois de Boulogne, arm In arm
with another gentleman, and otherwise quite
unattended and unobserved: He looked remark-
Libly well, and seemed to be quite enjoying his
exercise and lila ia(ognito,
Some interesting city reports which have been
recently published show, amongst other things,
that in the course of 14st year the number of
street accidents in Paris 'amount alto
gether. to very nearly four thousand. Of
these fifteen hundred were from carriages, and
one hundred and eight of them proved fatal. The
fatal accidents from other causes amounted to
six hundred and eighty-two. During the past
year also there have been six bundled and ninety
seven suicides lu Paris, of which seventy-nine
were marrie d ,ntu and four hundred and eighteen
baehel4m4; twenty-two widowers and twenty-roar
widows: thirty-eight married women and thirty
nine unmarried ; four boys and three girls under
sixteen years of age. Besides the above there were
two hundred and fifteen attempted suicides. The
uxtitp.osition_ot som e_of hese._liguresis_ins. triter_

tweenthe numbers of bachelors and married men;
and the almost precise agreement between those
of married and unmarried WOll2llll.
The Italian papers, when speaking of the late
visit of Admiral Farragut, mention that from
ttio zela the Admiral wrote to the American Cou
sot at Genoa, charging him to address his
wannest thanks to the Syndic of that ancient Re
public for the cordial reception given to him by
the authorities and inhabitants of the city. At
the same time the Admiral intimated a desire to
possess a copy of the autographs of Christopher
Columbus, which had been exhibited to him at
the Hotel de Villa. Baron Fodesta; the Syndic,
lost no time in having photographic copies
taken of these interesting originals, nod forward
ing them to their destination.
At a bazaar, which bas just been . hell here for
destitute Germans, under the patronage of the
Austrian, Prussian and other German Embassies,
and also that of the United States, upward of
ZlO,OO francs were realized for the purpose iu
question. The British population also now ad-
Nertise their intention of having their annual
(Malty ball, which is always largely patronized
by Americans, and generally raises a thousand
rounds sterling for the British Belief Fund. It is
much to be regretted that there is as yet in
Pails t o pnbhc American institution for
he aid of our poorer countrymen and
women. The Coutinegtal Gtr:etic, the new
American paper now established in parts, in an
article which came very apropos, strongly ad
vocated the formation of an American Benevolent
Association, as an admirable mode of celebrating
the last 22d of February. The opportunity was
lost this year, but 1 hope before another year
passes to he able to report that the purpose is iu
the way of ext cation. The continually increas
ing importance of the American element in the
population of this central capital of Enrol),
imps ratively demands, for the credit ur onr
country, that something of the kind should be
established.

Tne works of the Isthmus of Suez canal are fast
Approaching completion. From January 4 to
February 7 one hundred and thirty-seven mer
chant ships passed from Port Said to Suez. On
February G, at Port Said, there were four three
masted vessels and three smaller ships employed
in lauding cargoes of coal. The Engilib g,ovt.rn
went already profit by the enterprise, as men and
war material are sent to Abyssinia with mueh
greater rapidity and ease vl Suez than by the
old route. The consequence is that there is
nothing doing at Alexandria or Cairo, whereas
traffic is brisk at Port Said.

there were war or peace on the Plate. With all

A Story for LIMO , * Childroa.
IIY JOHN efiTILL
Once upon a time there was a very good - and
noble, and efficient association, styled the "go•
elety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animate,'
and this society had many first-rate men belong
intt• to it; but, unfortunately, it numbered among
its members a perfectly absurd old customer by
the name of Townsend, who had such a mania
on the subject of humanity to dumb brute* that
he didn't care a particle what happened to human
beings, so that his pet beasts that perish were
coinfor table and feeling first-rate. And old Town
send had several children, with whom . he used
to stroll around the country, while he taught
them the benevolent principles of which he was
an advocate.
80, one fine - morning, this utterly Insipid old
ToWnsend, took off his spectacles and led his
offspring forth to give them a few lessons. As
be walked along he entertained than with a few
good gage, such as this :
".Nly deur children," said old . Townsend,
"always bear in mind that the poor (lamb ani
mals who are our servants and companions hero
OD earth, arc entitled to kind and gentle treat
ment, and be sure that any cruelty predicted
.owards them will bring retribution on the bead
of him who does It. Ohl my dear children, once
l knew a bad boy whose name was Jim
NicGtrith, and Jim he went one day and climbed
over farmer Jones's fence and barked up au
apple tree, and there did he sit down and stuff
himself without a pang of remorse, until farmer
Jones came along, and saw him, and said thus
unto Jim McGrath :
"Come down out of that there."
"No I wont either," bald this scandalous Jim.
"Come down, I say.
"And get licked- Haw, I guess not," said this
boy.
"Then farmer Jones whistled to his kind and
ect,tle brill dog and said — watch him Tige," and
Ttge sat down at the foot of the tree, and kept
there like he bad grown oni of the earth, and
:.aver budged an Inch. And this abandoned. Jim
McGrath, instead of coming down out of that
tree,_rind lettins this good and faithful dor_grab
mouthful out of him and go quietly home, sat
up there all night on a limb, and kept poor Tigo
~et in the cold without food, and fur away from
the wane fire; and then In the morning when
lige went away for a little while to get some
thirg to eat, this cruel boy slid down and got
o.er the fend soddenly, and disappointed the
veer animal so inuell-wberk he came biwk,thatlii
went mad and bit a poor innocent or, in the Leg.
Ohl will not Jim. McGrath be punished some
(lay i: A youth . thus began will certainly end
urea the gallown.
recollect,dear children,never to annoy these
helpless brutes. I have often thought how very
,ad it mart have been for those geutlellous in'the
['en when Daniel was dropped in among them.
how dreadfully they must have felt to go a stiff
flirg around him, and thinking how good he
would taste, and then never be able to have even
much as a single solitary small chunk out of
the calf of Daniel's lag. It must have been •
-ti Vere trial to them, dear children, and it should
teach ns self-denial."
"0 ! look there !" saki Wm. Henry, pointing to
I matt beating a mule. '•ien't that awful
"Yes, my dear boy," said old man TownaPnd,
- it is, indeed. Never do you beat a male in that
-itiful way. .Do as T. did once, when my mule

Could not Iliad it lu my heart to bast him, so I
drove a stake iu the ground and tied him to it,
cd let him :land there a week, at the end of
hick time hia ribs looked as if ho he had gorged
hitnbelf with a spiral springutnd he never stopped
-igain after that." •
-.
-Why, papa ?" Baked John Jacob.
Because. he immediately died." s tid Town
-end. "And once I had a dog who ate up several
hie+, and I determiucd to kill him. As my man
t-t 1 him piist me on his way to execution, the old
pup slung his tall around in such au agonizing
and gave me such a look of unutterable
„if( ctiou, that I brandished my old bandanna and
wept scalding tears of bitter anguish. I could
not kill him. So I went and got a grain-bag, and
'lid him up in it until he nearly suffocated, and
n I laid him on the groujad and drove severs)
docks of sheep and a large herd of cattle over
him, and let them stamp on hlm,and . wherFrtook
him out he bad four broken legs, three crushed
ibs, a fractured skull and the whole frontispiece
ttnaslied off of him. But it taught him a lesson,
for he never cared for mutton afterwards. In
deed he died next day. But how much better it
was to deal with him thus kindly, than to butcher
him.
But let ns sit on this worm fence while I tell
you of a vile wretch named Jako Lannigan. -
"Is it not wrong to sit on a worm, fence ?"
leked Mary Jane.
"So it is, my child; I am glad to find you so
conscientious. Wo will sit upon the grass; but
he careful, you do not mangle any lovely little
ants or straddle bugs."
"This Jake Lannigan he sinfully went a fishing,
and he catights whole mess of innocent tattles,
which hung in agony on a string; but after
a while a sturgeon bit at his hook, and jerked
him overboard, and he was very deservedly
diowned, and all the fish around that vicinity
lived high on Jake Lannigan for a week, you
can just , bet."
" Served Lim right, too," said John Jacob.
"They ought to have eaten him alive," said
" Ah, my children, wickedness is wide spread.
I once read of a depraved boy out in Ailbauf.i.-
tan who laid down to sleep one day under a tree,
anti when he woke up a large boa-constructor
had licked him all over, and. swallowed both his
legs up to the knee; apparently, be was onjoyiag

what did this utterly immoral boy do? Why,
instead of sitihig there quietly and hitting that
poor brute satisfy the natural cravings of his
appetite, be whipped out his legs and ran, and
-the-poos snake lay there -writhing/ not-only- sick
at its storuseh, but nearly starved for want of its
daily sustenance.

POLITICS.
Jaensoavir.rx, Fla., March 18, 1868.—The po
litleal atmosphere in this region begins to wax
warm.. Since the adjournment of the State Con
vention. parties have more feisure to look to the
approaching election, and a more definite plat
form on which to base their operations. Gen.
Meade's visit to Tallahassee had an admirable
effect on the antagonistic elements. The two
wings of the sundered Convention seemed to be
irreconeibible." Each bad taken its position with
a firm determination to adhere to ft. When. Gen.
:Meade etrua eaTiedwpory by repreoentativevef titer
majority and the minority, severally, to "visit
the Convention." he replied that her didt
net know, where to find the Convention. This
anawor indicated that he at once trumped "the
situation." The result of further observation
was the announcement by him that unless the
two conflicting bodies came together, he would
dissolve them bah and ball upon the people to
elect 'raw representatives. 'Alain terretrem argu
ment Soon produced the desired effect. Ali par
ties assembled, though with some regret and re
luctance, under the same roof, elected new
officers,reconstructed the ruleafor governing the
body and went to work. ' It. now remains to
be seen• whether the • sovereign people will
ratify the new Constitution. Certainly, there
will be a sharp conflict of opinion.
COLOICITIERBER'EI REPORT OY THE. CCIIVEN-
We happened on last Sabbath to hear a report
of the doings of the Convention, from ono of Its
members, who is also pastor of one of the Afri
can churches in this city. Curiosity led se to at
tend his services, and,beyond all doubt, they con
sisted of a mixture of religion and politics: The
house was crowded by people of his own color to
its utmost ca:,,acity. The singing was in the pe
culiar style of that race—simple, sincere, solemn
and pathetic. The prayers were fervent and im
pressive. The sermon was orthodox and well de
livered. but marked with an obvious lack of
logic, and with eonto odd pronunciations, as well
awiedierou b quotations from Scripture. "Heaven
and earth," said the preacher, "shall pass away
rather than the Word of God fail iu ono tit orjot
tle to be fultilled"—a mistake scarcely less ludic,.
roue than another minister made who took his text
from the Prophet .E.rodua a few weeks ago. After
the discourse, and the administration of the
communion, from which, notwithstanding the
oddities of style and manner, we received a good
impression, the poacher at once proceeded to
state what he bad seen and done at Tallahassee,
vindicating his course in Introducing such toplea
on the Sabbath by saying: "It is a pity that
preachers did not begin to preach politics ten
years ago." It vvausoon evident•that he watenot
satisfied by any means with what the Conven
tion had done, or with the nominations made on
the Republican ticket. His special objection to
it came oat in the expression: "I see no nigger
dere, do )ou?" "That ticket," said he, shall
never be elected; dere Is another cocain,
and I want you to be ready
tor it." "It's of no use," he added,
"for us people to be free, unless we have
- all - our rights; - He - said that he and - many others '
would fight from every stump in the State, before
they would agree to . see a ticket succeed from
which the black man was entirely left out. In
the course of his remarks he paid hie respects to
A. J. by" saying, "Old Johnson, thauk - God, la
about faille' from his throne, aud I de Con- .
gress will chain him down." Whilst we could
but regret that he "mixed things'so much, we
certainly received aTavorable impression of his
earneatness, energy and native eloquence. In
hir speech he told Us that he was once a slave,
and that if anybody doubted this he had the evi
dence of its truth, to stripes on his back.
which he would earn with him to the
grave. ' lie manifestly was master
of his audience, • carrying them,
along with him, sometimes with smiles, then
again with tears. lam told that his influence
over the very large colored population of the
State is unbounded, and that In an election no
man is more to be dreaded as an opponent than ,
he. It is gratifying to see these emancipated
people rising to the consciousness of their man
hood, yet sad to perceive that they are likely, as
I fear is the case, to Injure their cause by a too
rapid movement. One thing is beyond doubt—
they aim at the full rights of citizenship and will
strive vigorously for the accomeliatiment of their
desire. The schools under the control of the
Freedmen's Bureau are well conducted, though
not numercusly attended. The first desideratum
for theee poor negroes is education. They need
it badly. Such a mighty influence as they will
wield at the ballot-box requires to be directed by
inii ds capable of appreciating duty and respon
sibility.
This month has been a trying one to invalids.
Quite a number who came hither from the North,
111 the last stages of conminiption, have gone to
tht it long home. It is a sad mistake for persons
to come into this Southern climate expecting
that it will reconstruct lungs. Those who are
lioubicii with laryngital or bronchial affections
are most likely to teecive decided advantage; so,
too, such us ere buttering from itielPient lung

thoroughly fixed its shafts aro generally dooMed
to a disappointment, which, with the loneliness
of separation from home, hastens their exit from
the world.
Jacksonville exhibits a good deal of the spirit
of progress. The impression generally prevails
that it is soon to be a great place, and as the
conviction of the Romans that tlwy wore destined
to conquer the world nerved them to achieve
their triumphs, so this impression Is probably to
prove prophetic, and work its own fulfillment.
The prices of houses and lots are rising rapidly,
and large schemes for advancing business are
projected or commenced. Enterprising Northern
men, with moderate capital, could find hero in
viting openings for success. The State will ere
king be NorthernLzed in its population.
THE WEATHER
The weather for the last week has been quite
warm, unusually so for this season, the thermo
meter ranging from 85 to 90 degrees. It is said
the heat is seldom greater during the summer,but
it continues much longer than In your latitude.
As a consequence of our warm suns, spring T its
around us with her beauty and fragrance. h
flowers are blooming, and the birds are caroling
sweetly in every direction'. The breezes from the
Bt. John's in the afternoon are very refreshing.
I hear that your noble rivers are choked with ice.
All of thnt article you see In this region is what
we get to cool our drinking water. To this re
mark, I must say, there was ono exception this
winter, for one day icicles of some ten inches in
length formed on the roof-edge of sonic of our
houses. This, it is said, has not occurred since
1835.
NEW LINE 017 STINAMERIS.
I hear that a line line of steamers is very soon

her groves, a few days else©, and found them de

almost anything. • VriT6it,

Traveling Agents Ita irouble in Pitts..
burgh—Heavy Fines imposed, Upon
Them.
The following, article from the Pittsburgh Dio
patch, of the 24th, Is of some interest to tilos° al
our Wholesale merchants who trAde with ••Pitlir
burgh : •
"Unlicensed traveling agents have been driving
% lucrative business in this city of late, and might
continue to prosper in their illegal vocation wore
it not that the municipal authorities demand s
muttial understanding - on certain acts of Assem
bly, which affect their style of trading. The acts
hi question provide a penalty of three hundred
dollars for selling goods by sample without
the usual license. The agents dock into
this and other Interior towns with speci
mens of goods of every description, which they
',how through the community, with a view
towards obtaming orders on the eastern houses
they represent. These houses can thus carry on
their business here without incurring any addi
tional expense, and being in this way,ertabled to
sell lower than local establishments, they are ex
tensively patronized. Naturally, out. home mew•
ebants are displeased with these infringement&
on their business, and they look to the proceed,-
hies now instituted with no small interest.
"John Wilson, agent for the Ural of Moore &
dealers In spice, &c.. New York, came to
this city last week to attend to the Interests of
his house. Knowing that if he operated without
a license, be would, upon conviction, be sub
jected to a penalty of three hundred dollars, ho
applied to Mr. R. W. Poindexter, a licensed
merchandise broker of this city, and asked
him to sell goods for the firm of blamer
k Hill, as broker. Mr. Poindexter, ac
cording to his testimony, assented to the pra
position, and then, in turn, appointed
Mr. Wilson his agent, giving him a written au
thority to act as such. White selling on Friday
last Wilson was arrested by G. W. Gillespie,
Deputy United States Marshal, and taken to the
Mayor's office, where the case was developed.
Aldermari Owston decided that Mr. P. had no
right to grant a license, and ordered that Wilson
pay the penalty. ilegave bail to do so, but gave .
notice of an appeal to court.
"An agent named E. F. Gledding wasyeaterday
also arrested and paid the penalty,"
