PEACOCK. FETHERSTON & CO.
llnmbv, September 8,1870.
the crisis is fb&soe.
Aflairsin France are rapidly approaching a
crisis. Within twenty-four hours the Prussian
army will be in front of the fortifications of
Paris, and then, unless peace is secured by di
plomacy, the-fast act of the great tragedy will
Kpgiti. it isimpossible to believe that a siege,
«f the city can have any other conclusion than
the overwhelming triumph of the Prussians.
Against their magnificent army the French'can
oppose only a small force of disciplined men,
supported by a multitude of civilians,untrained,
poorly armed, and compelled to defend fortifi
cations that are without sufficient armament.
No matter how great the courage, how " des
perate the valor of the-French, " their ultimate
defeat is certain. There may be a bloody con
diet, but sooner or later the Prussians will
throng the streets of the capital, unless a peace
can he concluded. We believe that the gov
ernment which submits, even now, to any bu
the most generous terms will make itself ex
tremely , unpopular, and yet the Provisional
Ministry, apparently conscious of the grave
peril of 'the sitnation, is making strenuous
efforts to secure peace and ■ avert the
great-catastrophe. It is reported that several'
delegations have been sent to the King off
Trussia-hyM. Favre, and our despatches this
morning assert that at last Lord Lyons, who
has been in consultation with the Minister, has
gone forward to endeavor to secure cessation
of hostilities. We earnestly hope he may be
successful,and that Prussia will consent to such
terms as France can accept without utter hu
miliation and disgrace. We have reason to fear,
however, that such will not be the case. Bis
marck will not look with favor upon the suc
cessfnlestablishmentofa republic in France,
and the German people will hardly consent to
any conclusion of the war which will not bring
some substantial fruit to them. The French
—government has declared-its intention to fight
to the bitter end rather than yield its terri
tory, and we doubt not this resolution will be
kept,although it involves the destruction of the
new republic, and, m the end, dismemberment
:bf France. _
It is impossible to blame Prussia for carrying
her triumph to its legitimate and natural con
clusion, and yet we cannot help giving to the
brave Frenchmen who have assumed the
responsibility of directing national affairs in
this crisis' our deepest sympathy. ’ We must
inevitably desire the success of their effort to
give a free, constitutional, representative govern
ment to France, and deplore that further
triumph of Prussia which will probably place
another Bourbon upon the throne. Our
Government cannot better express the senti
ment of the people than by recognizing the
changes in France, and by directing Mr.Wasti
burne to use the whole influence of the United
States to secure the perpetuity of the free
government which has succeeded the empire.
The French have appealed to us for sympathy
and moral support, and we are bound to give
these to them,' and to do what we can, through
the medium of peaceable intervention, to save
them from another monarchy.
SIINDING ONE’S BUSINESS.
A correspondent writes to us with much
feeling on the important subject of minding
one’s own business. He complains that Phila
delphia has not yet outgrown the provincial
habit of strict obedience to St. Paul’s injunc
tion, “ Look not every man on his own tliiDgs
but every man also on the things of others.’
And the illustration which “ adorns his moral
and points his tale ” is drawn from the alleged
fact that “one has to be very careful bow he
frequents a restaurant, for fear that some idle
_ gossip or busy-body may injure his.reputatiou.'!
Our correspondent asks: “Should not the
general good character of a man preserve his
name from the slanders of Messrs. Smooth and
(lawmon? And should we not cultivate such
a spirit as to make it no more a matter of com
ment when we see a gentleman enteriug or
leaving a reputable eating-house, than we
would to see him going in Or out of a dry
goods or hardware store ? ”
Undoubtedly. But our corresixmilent is evi
dently over-sensitive, or else does not make
* .that .distinction .between- things- - that" ditt'er,
which the case requires. Granting that there is
■more of that village trick of gossip and mind
ing each other’s business still left in Philadel
phia than comports with the dignity of a great
city, we incline to think, on the one band, that
there is not nearly as much of it as there once
was, and, on the other, that, in a qualified
tense, it is not a bad thing for the morals of a
community for its members to feel that they are
in some degree amenable to the judgment of
their fellow citizens and neighbors.
it is not true that any one who has a good
character will run any such risk of his reputa
tion by taking bis meals at a “ reputable res
taurant.” The man who lives upon reputa
tion, and not upon character, is always
in danger of damage; but be who
goes about bis own business honestly
and openly, and with manly independence,
snakes the places he frequents and the people
, with whom be associates respectable, and need
no- be alraid of eating his dinner, or taking his
pretzel,anfl .sang of beer in any decent house.
It is generally people who live upon a reputa
tion which iis «ot hacked up by character who
are most sensitive about other people minding
their own business, and who slip in and out of
places where they have a perfect right to go, as
.Jf they were constious of doing somethin.-
wrcDg. ”-
Moreover there are many “ restaurants” in
Philadelphia which are not restaurants but
very common and low drinking-shops, and the
_ eierk or.young man ...of. business who i,
in the habit of frequenting these establishments
may well be suspected and watched, for he has
w hnsmeps there. Friends and neighbors and
employers and business Connections arc "mind
ing their own business” irisuch cases, when
they notice, reprove or criticize such associa- .
tion with disputable places or persons.
- It is not good for. society that men and wo
.men shall be permitted to "mind their own
business ” in any. such sense as is now the rule,
in New York, and which ptany would like to
see the universal riile in Philadelphia. The im
morality of.private and public life in New
York, the corruption of politics, the rascalities
of rich adventurers and speculators grow out
of the impunity with which bad men and bad
women lead their bad lives in the highest so
ciety, and are allowed to “ miadtbelr own
business ” by the community at large, each in
dividual of which is either too busy to give a
thought to the misdoings of ! his neighbor, or
too anxious to cover up his own, to lend his
influence for the bettering of the morals of
the mass in which he lives.
There are large circles in Philadelphia in
which the habit of minding each others’ busi
ness is carried to a detestable extravagance.
The temptation to tell something ill of a
neighbor is irresistable .with- such people,-arid
reputations are torn to pieces and dissensions
created, ahd trouble made, in the idle wanton
ness of a love of scandal and gossip which no
life-time is .long enough. to repair. _ The sea
side watering places are the prolific hot houses
for starting annual crops of these roots of bit
terness, which axe transplanted to the cities
.to be nursed and forced into their full poison
ous fruition during the winter, does not
need to be said , that it takes small
minds and impoverished natures to live upon
such trash as forms the staple of discussion in
many of our fashionable and domestic circles.
This fashion of minding the business of other
people is infinitely contemptible and mischiev
ous. But to those whose business is honest
and good, we do not imagine that much harm
is done by the idle tattle of either thoughtless
or mischievous people.
If Our correspondent will take our advice, lie
-w ill select his restaiiritnts j Udiciously and then
eat his dinner or take hid honest mug of beer
like a man, undisturbed by the fear of being
misrepresented or injured. “ lloni soit qui
mat ypmse,” will suit his case, and all similar
ones, precisely.
Certain editors in this city are fretting their
small souls because we protested against the
atteipf>tof a few Democrats in" Montgomery
county to peirert a great agricultural exhibi
tion to political uses, and to make it the occa
sion of honoring so mean a rebel as Alexan
der H. Stephens, of Georgia, The mere fact
that this unrepentant outlaw is to make a
speech at a certain place, is, of itself, of small
consequence. But the offence in this particu
lar case is that certain virulent Democratic
politicians have determined to force this rebel
upon a society many of the members of which
are loyal men whose sons were slain by his
treason, and who have protested earnestly
against ins presence on this occasion. This
society represents the larger portion of the pop
ulation of the county, and its exhibitions are
attended by multitudes of people who
regard Stephens as no better than a common
cut-throat. They are entitled to be heard in
protest against this insult, and we have, given
expression to their sentiments. We may say
further that Lite attempts of I!epubli.can journals
to excuse this eflort to confer conspicuous honor
upon a prominent rebel, who is even now
engaged iti justifying Iris enoffs'toTdestr6y~this
government, will not recommend them to
people who still realize the enormity of the
crimes which plunged the country into civil
war. If Stephens does speak at Norristown we
hope be will be placed in front of the monu
ment elected to the memory of the nieu who
were slain in defence of the principles of which
he is still the bitter enemy.
The European situation is very ominous and
threatening at tins moment. The war iu
France has disturbed all other powers, tlie
Prussian triumph provoking the jealousy of
some, and the republican revolution exciting
the revolutionary elements in others. We have
reports of an approaching crisis of a grave cha
racter in Italy, and the certainty of the occupa
tion of Koine by Victor Emmanuel. The re
publicans in Spain are assuming an aggressive
attitude; Kussia is arming and preparing to
make certain demands upon Prussia which
may not be conceded, and Austria is holding
herself free from embarrassing alliances, ap
parently so that she may improve any oppor
tunity that oilers to better her condition. It
will he strange if at the conclusion of the
present war fresh complications do not present
themselves and demand solution upon the
battle-field.
The true-way to treat black-mailing adven
turers in any branch of business is to let them
severely alone. Daubing darkness with lamp
black lias long been known to produce but one
eifeet,'and that is to leave some' mai'fe'bu the
hands of the dauber. People who live upon
sensation or black-mail can best he made mis
erable by taking no notice of them. In every
large community there are miscreants who are
too poor to be punished by the laws, and yet
make their living by their abuse of decent
people ; only because other decent people will
not leave them and their dirty work in the ob
scurity where they belong.
DHABI ATI C.
At the Walnut last evening Mr. Forrest
gave his conception of Othello to a house com
fortably tilled, and containing a number of
dramatic artists whose engagements permitted
them to appear among the audience. Nothing
is more instructive, iu theatrical study, than
the attention bestowed by the younger mem
bers and acolytes of the dramatic school upon
those who have passed its degrees, earned its
honors, and crystallized their own theories of
art; “when a weii-graced actor leaves the
stage,” or appears nearing the confines which
separate his honorable toils from an equally
honorable retirement, it is. (it that his style
should he analyzed, his ideal criticised, and
the foundations of-tlie most porishable and
evanescent of human arts committed to
memory which alone can embalm them. Mr-
Forrest’s conception of Othello we think ono
of his best; it is singularly simplo, largely
outlined, and filled out with a sort of massive
dignity all his own, and unattainable
to different temperament. I
has, of . cßurse, “ the defects of its
qualities,” and there are certain refinements
which penetrate the imagination ina chamber
reading of the play which no one thinks of
waiting for in attending his representation.
W r > Forresf, last night, added to. his familiar
PHTT.AT)ELEBIA aalaSETPjf,
merits the finishing grace of calrn aßd sobriaty-
He was evidently fatiguedotindiflposod, and
(fc film of ennui seemed to spread over the entire
, representation as a. whole ; but' beneath this
muffling lassitude the old finish, the old ex
actitude of study and intellectual disoriminar
tion of reading were perfectly apparent, the
old haughty music of tones and accent re
mained; while out of it the grand traditional
rhapsodies of the ,play burst With added con
trast and energy, and tore away, for the mo
ment like a veil the languors Fllloh hung
around the actioq, Perhaps Forrest never
declaimed better the address to the signory,
tiiftll last evening, and never delivered the
famous fhrewell to wax with more piercing
melancholy. !
The audience hung upon Mr. Forrest’s
words with constancy and attention, hut di
vided their dpplause betweerihim arid the sup
porting actors, who. in most instances were
able. Miss Lillie made a winning and grace
ful “ Desdcmona.” She dressed her role with
a rich simplicity, find acted up : td" the'Varying
exigencies of the counter or' titie' part' with'
great accuracy and feeling. "We have imbibed
a hearty respect Sind likihg for this'conscien
tious, unpretending actress. Miss Graham ap
peared to advantage as “ Emilia,” righaracter
which is one of hefljest, and inferior only to
her “Pompadour” in"the drama of ‘Narcisse.
“ Emilia’s” scenes with her vile husband; and
finally with the distracted. and' guilty Moor,
were direct, passionate and' powerful; we
were glad of the round of applause which fol
lowed her final exit. Mr. Bradsh&w made an
amusing “ Rpderigo,” and Mr. Morrison was
not. unequal to the manly part of “ Cassio.”
Mr. William Hams, endowed with a fine
person and a florid heartiness of expression,
is unsuited by every gift of ndturo and advan
tage vpf for the part of “lago.”
The raro appearance of Mr. Forrest in the
part of “ Gloster, afterwards Richard III.,”
will take place to-night in the play of - Kiny
Bichard 111.

the principal of Which is the difticulty of ob
taining the Academy of Music for ten, or. even
five, consecutive weeks; and to have ari in
terval of two weeks or a month in the middle

Death of Marshal MacMahon.
Sedan, Sept. 6.- —Marshal MacMahon is
dead. He was dreadfully wounded in the last
battle, by fragments of shell which struck him
bn the hip and hack, "He was deprived of mo
tion since the surrender. Every care was be
stowed upon tho heroic General, but the
wounds were mortal and have caused his
death.
The news of the decease has beencommuni-

are indescfiliable. Tlie most profound sorrow
prevails among the French. The entire
French camp is turned into lamentation, and.
the most impressive scenes are witnessed.

mourning.
Darios Beconuoissauce.
Paris, Sept? B.—Two Prussian cavalrymen
performed a most daring feat. Attired in full
uniform of Prussian cavalry soldiers, and
wearing overcoats common to both armies—
they entered the city by the Northern Bail
way, along with G on. Vinoy’s troops, without
having their nationality discovered. Upon
arriving at the depot of the Northern Bail-
road, in this city, they parted with their fel
low-tf avelers, and, without being recognized,
lefi (be depot and continued their journey to
the heart of the city. They explored the city
all clay, and examined the defences, until they
reached Bue du Dauphine, when they were
apprehended by police agents and captured.
They retained their full uniform and were per
fectly cool and collected when taken. The
arrest created great excitement, and a mob
quickly collected. No violence, how
ever, was oflered to the daring Prus
sians. They were rapidly hurried to
the police station. As these
cavalrymen were wearing full uniform, under
the rules of war they cannot be shot, and have
claimed protection under the plea that they
are prisoners of war. !
