DANCING ON A VOLCANO.
- • Plight at ituliter's.
As the war goes on we shall probably be
coMe better acquainted with the "traveling
correspondent" of the London Daily Tele
graph, who is certainly the most pietufesque
and vivid Of all the roving -writers of- that sen—
sational journal. Take, for example, -this
striking description of an evening spent at
Bullier's, a famous dancing resort of the
students in the Latin Quarter of Paris, just
. before the departure of the troops for the war :
" rid you ever meet aliVolier .race than the
Neapolitan peasantry about Portici • and Torre
del Greco—always eating macaroni, always
meandering in the sinuosities of the mazy
—dap at-: any-moment the boiling _lava
flood may come tumbling down the burning
mountain's sides, or the shower of ashes engulf
them as the two doomed cities were engulfed
eighteen hundred years ago. Damsons done
sur on rokait. For to-morrow the lava,: and
the smite and the, horrors of an eruption.
To-night Vesuvius is en. yenyette, and the
water is illumined with 'twenty thousand ad
ditional lamps.' There is a grand patriotic I
ball at Bullier's ; so, about nine o'clock in the
evening, we hail a Victoria, and bid the driver
take the road towards the Luxembourg.
" Bullier's is to Mabile as Highbury•Barn is
to Cremorne. As the Closerie des Lilas' it
has been celebrated in the fasti of Parisian
pleasure places for a great number of years,
and will remind the old Paris man of the
kindred but now defunct haunts of students
and grisettes—the Prado and the Chaumidre.
The griseffe, I need scarcely remark, is very
rarely met with in Haussmannized Paris, and
will very soon be reckoned among the extinct
animals. The nail' La Fontaine sang her"
praises just two hundred years ago ; Balzac and
Gavarni•made her renowned throughout Eu
rope. The grisettb atones - for some of the enor
mities of Eugene Sue's detestable romance,
'The Mysteries of Paris;' and there are few
pleasanter pages in the pleasant books of poor
Albert Smith thathose - iVbieh -- describe the ad
ventures of Mr. Ledbury and his friend Jack
Johnson ..with the sewing-girls and waistcoat-.
makers of the Quartier Latin. Foyers eteints !
There
,are no longer any grisettes. The washer
woman's drudge seeks among her soapsuds for
the field-marshal's lAton of the Grande Cocotte,
and rarely fails to find it in the tub. The porter's
daughter dreams of riding in the grand_open car
riage 'Which She hits•often - opened - portccoeltire -
to admit ; and the whilom sweethearts of the
students of the Place du Pantheon and the flue
de l'Ecole de Medicine emigrate to the Allen
des Veuves and the Boulevard Id-alesherbes,
and set their caps at Pennsylvanian petruleo
crats and mahogony-complexioned Brazilians,
with their waistcoat pockets full of loose dia
monds. Bullier's—the Closeries des Ulm,
which is half a garden and half a barn, both
very poorly decorated—presented a scene last
night which would have gladdened the heart. of
Giovannelli, and made Mr. Baum - jealous.
At least three thousand people must have - been
packed into the area set apart for dancing and
- promenades; but the distinctions of locality
were quite set at nought. The visitors waltzed
in - the gravel walks, and the promenaders
- walked about in the middle of the quadrilles..
If a couple made up their minds to dance they
did it anywhere,'on ,_the
,flure ' as the _lrish
say, or in the middle of a flower-bed, or infront
of a refreshment buffet. Several pas seals were
executed on- cane-bottomed chairs, and one gen
tleman of a lively and eccentric turn—l hope he
was provided with water-proof leggings—abso
lutely.got into the basin of the ornamental foun
- Min and paddled about in the water like a mad-
Triton. ,He would have done better to have
stood upon his bead—the bath might hive
cooled him.
"From nine until half-past eleven there
• reigned at this Bullier's one of the most extra
ordinary spectacles of patriotism gone mad I
ever witnessed. It was entirely of a civilian
nature. I did not see a single soldier in uni
form present—the firemen and Gardes de Paris
on duty excepted—so the pekins had it all
their own way. I dare say there were a great
many students present; but the modern
ainin»i of the Latin Quarter are no longer dis
tinguished-by-their bushy-beards and unkempt
locks flowing over their shoulders, their broad
brimmed and steeple-crowned hats, their ex
aggerated turn-down collars, and their short
black pipes. The itudiant of 1610 has taken to
wearing braces and smoking cigars, and wash
ing himself—just as in England Messrs. Bob
Sawyer and Ben Allen no longer appear in pea
jackets and big buttons, iwith the thigh-bones
of 'subjects' protruding from the pockets
thereof, but have left off sack—or excess in the
consumption of half and half, which amounts
to the same thing in the long run, and live
cleanly, like gentlemen. Mingled with the pos
sible students at Bullier's were an over- '
flowing mob composed, I should say,
indifferently of clerks, counter-jumpers, young
tradesmen, and the indescribable class who bear
the generic name of Bohemes. There were no
workingmen ; the blouses prefer the barrier
bulls. There were no dandies ; that glittering
race seems to have entirely disappeared from
human ken for the present, just as Spain, since
the collapse of General Prim's nice little in
trigue which is about to plunge Europe into
blood and misery, seems to have been tempo
rarily blotted from the map. As for the ladies,
of whom au amazing quantity adorned the
Closerie des Lilas, it is sufficient to hint that
among them the mother of the Gracchi was
rather conspicuous by her absence than other
wise, and that anybody's daughter was the fe
male most strongly en evidence. Collectively
the ladies were fascinating, individually they
- afforded to the contemplative mind an oppor
, tunity of remarking how frequently in France
personal ugliness is found in combination with
great elegance of figure and wondrous taste in
dress.
"They were all—clerks, counter-skippers,
• anybody's daughters and simple-married wo
men—as mad as batters.. Hundreds of little
tricolored flags—you may buy one at a toy
shop, with a brass eagle surmounting the staff,
for ten sous—were waving to and fro ; many of
the girls had bouquets arranged in the three col
ors, and rnapy of the men wore cockades of the
same pattern in their hats. They danced, and
stamped, and screeched in excitement, but, I
remarked, almost entirely deserted the refresh
ment buffets. If this had been an American
revel, the bars would have been thronged ;
'liquoring up' with the men would have been
universal; and, when a sufficiency of cocktails
had been got on board, revolvers might have
made their appearance on the scene. But a
Frenchman cannot drink standing, or alone, or
in a hurry. When be is thirsty he must sit
down at his little marble table, and, with com
placent deliberation, sip his thin drinks and
puff at his cigar. Probably two thousand out
of the three thousand here were smoking; and
were thirsty enough besides; but they.were too
excited to sit do - wn yet awhile. The great
business of the evening was before them—to
make a thundering row and to shout for "La
Marseillaise."

in his high-backed chair, and pretends to in

of the orchestra pretends to: wake

trombone shrugs his shoulders, and:

as though they were all bound by the letter of,

'whose metres seem strung with patriotic eat
vehemently !interpellates' the wavering
director. He points to the surging amob; be
puts his hand on his heart; he thrusts his fid
dle beneath his chin; his bow trembles in the
air. Mutiny, rank mutiny! I fancy that the
little fiddler is about to break into the deside
rated strain on his own account, when the
bald-headed chief gives way—as though he had
not made up his mind to it all along and the
band strikes up 'La Marseillaise."Ehe three

Eliey burst forth in such a rushing roar of cho
rus that the gas in the twenty thousand addi
tional lamps seem to be buffeted and-driven to
and fro by the waves of sound.
" The 'lllarseillaise,' however, played and
chorused three times over, does not satisfy the
three thousand. Their great patriotism has
stomach for much more melody. After the in
terval of a polka and an abortive jig of the can
can order, Motuir pour la Patric 'is shouted
fer, and this request being complied with, and
the performance welcomed iu the same up
roariously enthusiastic manner, the cry is made
for the Chant dm Depart.' But in that regard
the bald-headed chef is not to be moved. Per
haps the score of the Chant' is not in Burner's
' orchestra; and when I leave Burnet', just be
fore midnight, the . threp thousand are still re
peating their demand in vain, contracting it to

AUSTRALIAN INDEPENDENCE.
iFrim the Sun - Franciseq - Alta,stl;t.)
ie ay is probably not far' distant when
the British Colonies in Australia will enter into
the, list of independent nations. Our Sydney
letter stated that the determination of the
Gladstone Cabinet to withdraw the Imperial
troops from Australasia in the course of this
monthilas -completely-changed the -feeling of
the people, and by compelling them to take
measures for self-defeuce has set them to
thinking about setting up for themselves politi
cally. They are henceforth to have all the
drawbacks without any of the advantages of
colonial condition. They must parade them
selves -as subjects, not- as citimus-; - do- every
thing' in the name of the Queen and not of the
nation ; make a great show on the sovereign's
birth-day ; pay ceurt to the royal family ; accept
Governors sent out from England; submit
their legislation• to -the royal veto, and get
nothing in return. It does not pay.
: - Delegates — from - four of the colonies,
which we presume are Victoria, New south
Wales, South Australia and Queensland, all in
Australia proper, are now in session to con
sider the question of Federation and Customs
union. Independence has no necessary con
nect-ion with these points,- yet it can scarcely
be ignored: Our correspendent seems to
think that they will act in such a manner as
to prepare the way for independence, and we
have no reason to suppose that he is in error.
Those of our readers who take Australasian
papers, or have read the news from New Zea
land andMelbourne,for the last year,know that
independence is not a new subject there. The
New Zealand papers have discussed it with
-much boldness for a long time, and if they rep
resent public opinion, the question there is not
whether they shall be independent, but
whether they shall take down the cross of St.
`•Ueorge DOW or wait a year or two longer.
Though separation has been freely talked
about, it has never been made an issue in auy
of their elections; but we presume from this
time forward it will be a prominent political
question. It is not to be expected that the ad
vocates of a change will find themselves inc a
large majority soon. The voters, generally,are
natives of England, and attached to it by many
ties which' are not readily sundered. Their
sentiment will be in favor of staying as they are
until there are strong reasons for a change.
The native Australasians will see things dillim
ently, and will want a nationality of their own.
A new country, especially where mining is a
leading industry, and where wealth changes
hands rapidly, as iu Australia, must be Demo
cratic in its general spirit, and cannot be con
tent to accept aristocratic institutions, or in
fluences like those of England.
The Australasian colonies are now strong
enough to standalone. In present population
they are about equal to some of the minor
Kingdoms of Europe ; in area and natural re
sources they rank with the greatest. In rapidity
of growth they have of late surpassed the
United States, and it is not extravagant to sup
pose that by the end of this century they will
have 20,000,000 inhabitants. They possess
now the most productive gold mines of the
world, surpassing those of the United States,
and they already have the chief centre of civili
zation south of the equator.
To us, as Californians or Americans, their
independence will be a matter of congratula
tion, chiefly as it will add to their prosperity,
and to the intimacy of the trade between their
shores and ours. The policy of Great Britain
has changed wonderfully since the days of the
Stamp Act, and such benefits as resulted to the
United States. of America from.separation. will
not be obtained by the Australasian colonies,
yet autonomy will add to their ipmortance,
and perhaps stimulate their development in
many ways. At any rate, if they see lit to
hoist their own flag, their act will cause no re,
gret here. We stand ready, to welcome the
United States of Australasia or the Australa
sian Federation into the circle of free and in
dependent nations.
THE BRUNSWICK BIARIONDS.
The Geniis and Their Owners
Allusion has lately been made in the Cable
despatches to the "Brunswick Diamonds,"
which, it is said, the Empress Eugenie has sent
for safety to England. A writer in the Charles
ton Daily News thus describes these treasures:
4, In the year 1830, Charles, the then reignino•
Duke. of Brunswick, eldest son of Duke Fred
erick" William,who led the Black Brunswickers'
at Quatre-Bras, was expelled from his heredi
tary dominions on account of his crimes and
misrule.
" The two principal traits of the character of
this prince were profligacy (he was a very
handsome man) and avarice. Although the
inheritor of much wealth from his mother, a
princess of Baden, he had, during a reign of
seven - years, - es torted - several millions Of 'Waters
fretn- subjects,
.which he took . with
hinr, --- tegether — with fa - Mom — onyx vase,
and
. other -articles of ' vertu,' worth,
perhaps,l_ half __a __million, which be stole
from the museum of his capital a few days be
fore his IlighL I remember when the Bruns
wicket's' set his palace on fire. It was a very
interesting scene. Bureaus full of lottis (Vora,
which the duke bade to leave behind for want
of trahsportation, were found in the palace and
plundered. Several poor 'Brunswielters' got
suddenly rich in that way. The mob had
rolled numerous casks of choice wines out of
the cellars of the burnt palace into the street,

of Nell Gwyne, by Sir Peter Lely,

„bedchamber, and

pelled Duke Charles, after sortie
,yain, attempts
to recover - his - lost - we --- to Paris
with his ill-gotten wealth where: he lived ever
since in a private capacity (for owing to his de
graded character he Was never admitted to
court,) until about two years agoi when, he
died. While in Paris, the ex-Duke is said to
have occupied himself almost exclusively with
stock-jobbing, with the rediscoverY of the most
subtle poisons, such as the fatitpus Italian Aqua
Tofana.of Lucretia Borgia memory (he had
commenced his career of crime, when a young
man, with poisoning first his cats and dogs,
then. his Moors, and lastly his old: tutor, Count
Oberg), and with collecting diamonds, for
which he bad an irrepressible mania. He is
said to have left a whole trunk full of them,
and these are the qamousßruuswick diamonds,'
which have puzzled the writer of the 'lmperial
Baby', article.
" WhOeVerlias been in Paris during the last
thirty years, and has visited the_ Italian opera,
may have observed in one of the boxes a hand
some, strangely-dressed, painted figure, covered
with a blaze of diamonds—that was the ex-
Duke Charles of Brunswick, son of the hero of
Quatre-Bras.
" Who has inherited his wealth I cannot
tell; certainly not his brother William, the
reigning Duke of Brunswick', and: the last'of
his illustrious_ race. .Duke__Charies_was,l be
lieve, united in morganatic Marriage to some
Countess ; perhaps she is now the fortunate
Owner Of the 'Brunswick 'diamonds.'
At any rate they have been sent away from
Paris to avoid being captured by the Bruns
wicket's, no longer black, when the latter get
there."

The greater part of the road is already completed, and
the earnings from the finished portion are already more.
than sufficient to pay operating expenses and interest on
the bonds. The balance of the work is progressing-
rapidly, in time for the movement of the coming grain
crops, which, it is estimated, will double the present in
come of the road.
The established character of this line, running as it
does through the heart of the most thickly settled and
richest portion of tho great State of lowa, together witty ,
its present advanced condition and large earnings, war
rant us in unhesitatingly recommending these boudo ,
to investors as, in every respect, an undoubted security.
These bonds have 50 years to run, are convertible at
the option of the holder into the stock of the Company
at par, and the payment of the principal is provided for
by a sinking fund. The convertibility privilege at
tached to these bonds cannot fail to cause them at no
distant day to command a market price considerably
above par, besides paying about 9 per cent., currency,.
interest in the meanwhile. United States Five-twenties,
at present prices, only return 5 per cent., and we regard
the security equally safe.

BEntm. - ,_ Aug. despatch from King
William, dated at Pout-a.Mousson, August 17,
says Ithe- tight- bere,yesterday- we-took
two thousand "prisoners, Seventeen cantina and
two eagles."
Advices have just been received here of a
naval engagement oil the coast of the island of
Eugen, in. the Baltic. One division of the
Prussian fleet, consisting of an aviso, and the
gunboats Drache, Blitz and Salamander, yes
terday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, encountered the
French fleet, consisting of four armored frigates,
a corvette and - awls - vim— The Prussian vessels
soon withdrew without loss. The French fleet
is now off Dornbusch.
Frederick, Duke of Schleswig, has issued a
manifesto imploring . all Germaus to. sustain
Prussia.
Details of the conflict at l'ont-a-)fousson
have just been received. Marshal Bazaine, iu
endeavoring to fall back from Metz to Verdun,
was attacked at nine o'clock on Tuesday morn
ing by the Fifth Division, and forced to face
-about.
• The Prussians were admirably firm, though
they sustained the attack of four French corps,
among them the Imperial Guard. After fight
ing gallantly for six hours, the Prussian Fifth
Division was reinforced from the Tenth Corps.
These reinforcements arrived opportunely.
The French found that a prolongation of the
tontest would be imixisiible, and retired upon
Metz with a loss of two thousand prisoners, two
eagles and seven cannon.
A bttle occurred before 3fetz yeiterday,
lasting nearly twelve hours. The Prussians
drove the French in upon the city. Losses very
heavy on both sides. The Prussians now bold
the field of battle.
PAWS, :August IS.-:—The following addi
tional details of Tuesday's battle near Dor
court and Brouville have been obtained from
official sources. •
Prince Frederick Charles attacked our right
and was firinly met. The corps of Generals
Argand and Bezanville hastened into the ac
tion, which ceased only with night. The
Prussians repeatedly attacked us, and were. as
often repulsed. Toward night a fresh corps
sought to filth Our position, but were beaten
off. Our losses are serious. General Battaile
is wounded. By SP. M. the enemy were re
pulsed along the whole. line.
LoNnox, August well-informed di
plomat says Prussia will exact no surrender of
French soil, but will insist on the exclusion of
the: Bonaparto,:family-H froutlie : throne of
France. Other terms of peace not reconcila
ble with French amour propre, including
doubtless a partiai reimbursement of the cost
of the war, may be added. The political re
storation of the House of Orleans is currently
discussed as probable. • .
LoNnoN, Aug, 18, Midnight.—We have- it
on high authority,. fresh from Paris, that it is
the universal conviction there that the Napo=
iconic dynasty is ended.
LONDON, Aug. 18..—[Special to the New
Tork Telegrani.] —lnformation received from
Verdun this (Thursday) morning reports a
grand battle in progress near Mars-la-Tonr, a
point about one-third of the way on the road
from Metz to Verdun. A large number are

General Frossard and Bataille are reported
wounded.

LoNriox, August 18.—A special despatch
from Berlin states that another attempt has
been made for peace between France and
Prussia. •
A Queen's messenger arrived at Berlin yes
terday with a project of peace f'rom the English
Cabinet.
The Emperor of the French expressed his
readiness to treat for peace, and the proposals
were made through Lord Lyons. The King
of Prussia and. Count- Bismarck were tele
graphed to at bearlguarters. The King replied
that - irNapoleon - wished - for - pea - a - he r I Ist SA
for an armistice in the usual way. Tne issue
must be decided either by arbitration or by
war. _ .
The Cabinet of Berlin, in reply to a commu
nication from the Pope, declines to guarantee
the inviolability of the Pontifical States.
LoNnox, Aug. 18.—[Special to New York

-Our correspondent writing from the head
quarters of the 2d Prussian Army Corps, on
August 2, says: "Should the French not accept
battle outside of Metz, two corps will be left to

continue the march for Paris. The. Prussians
haVe at least 00,000 inen advancing on French
soil and as many more in reserve on German
soil. All talk of peace before the occupation
of Paris is laughed at."

the Crown Prince writes on August 12 : " We

No compulsory military service is enforced on

The following despatch is not official, but is
given to the public by the Ministry:

be going in our favor. A number of wounded
French and Prussian soldiers have been brought
into Briley. A force of 1,200 Prussians is en
camped on the plateau between Bliley and St.
Jean. They send out couriers, who have en
tered Brily. Trustworthy patties who have
arrived here from -- Mars-la-Tour speak of a
heavy engagement there yesterday with a large
portion of the Prussian army,_ which, they say,
w‘ts charged with vigor by our cavalry and the
Garde Imperial, and was thrown back on the
Moselle.
,It is rumored that Generals Frossard and
Battaile are both badly wounded. Thionville
still remains in our hands.
THE editor of the Liberal Chrbstiaa offers a
year's subscription to his paper to any one who
will inform him who wrote the following
fragment of verse, and how he may obtain the
remainder of the poem. It was found on a
torn scrap of newspaper which was picked up
in a path through the woods in Indiana, more
than twenty years ago :
An hour before, she spoke of things
That memory to the dying brings,
And kissed .me all,the'while ;
Then, after some sweet parting words,
She seem'd among her flowers and birds
Until she fell asleep.
'Twas slimmer then ; 'tis autumn now;
The crimson leaves fall off the bough,
And strew the gravel sweep.
I wander down the garden walk,
And muse on all the happy talk
We had beneath the limes ;
Of golden eves when she and I
Sat watching here the flushing sky,
The sunset and the sea:
Or heard the children in the lanes,
Following home the harvest wains,
And shouting in their glee.
But when the daylight dies away,
And ships grow dusky in the bay,
These recollections cease :
And in the stillness of the night
Bright thoughts that end in dreams as - bright
Communicate their peace.
I wake and see the morning star,
And hear the breakers on the bar,
The voices on the shore.;
And then, with tears, I lOug to be
Across a dim, unsounded sea,
With her forevermore.
