War and Newspapers.

When in 1870 the French Empire de- clared war against Prussia, its schemes were so profound, so deeply laid, and go sure thatto avoid any marring of the plans all newspaper correspondents were ordered away, and even generals of friendly nations wore refused per- mission to acquire a further knowledge of their art by personal observation. On the ether hand, Prussia cordially welcomed the representatives of outside nations whether they came in the garb of generals or of writers. Prussia had no seerot weakness to hide, and did not pretend to have any. The result was that the world was soon educated to believe that German unify was demaa- ded, and that a French Empire was un- necessary to the well-being of civilized Europe. When Turkey and Russia en- gaged in their deadly struggle in 1577, both showed that they had learned a lesson from the previous war, and al- lowed cerrespondents of the press to come and go through their respective armies, and to write what they chose to the papers that they respectively repre- sented. The moral is not hard to find. It is that the most enlightened nations put con ‘idence in the good faith of men who write for.the papers, and see that if they “do not do them any good they willdo them noharm.” It has been reserve for Eagland in this year of grace to limit the action of newspaper correspondents. Because Britain has a little war on her hands with a small nation on the border of her Indian Em- pire, orlers have been issued that prac- tically amount to a military censors ship over the press. The London Times denounces them as of the most strin- gent an! vexatious character, involving little “less than the prohibition of all independent news whatever,” and de- giadiog the correspondent mouthpiece of the zeneral or his censor.

He Broke up the Match.

Squire Bray, of Carswell, was hunting another wife, but his son Bob, a wild blade, knocked him out of it. In the capacious breast pocket of the Squire’s great coat re- posed a pint of tielar, well filled, that he only proposed using on his way back fron seeing the widow Brown. Now, just before he started Bob slipped the ticlar out and put in its place asmall alarm clock, care- fully wound up, and set for lip. m. The Sqiire had sat the fire out, and was well on with his overcoat, holding the widow’s hand at the door, and putting in his sweet- est licks for the last. ‘‘Yes, your first husband, my dear, was one of my best friends, and we'll visit his and my lost Hannah’s graves, won’t we love?’ ‘Ah, yes, for where was there a sweeter woman than your poor Hannah ?”’ asked the widew. “A good ‘oman; she was good enough, but here's a living one just as sweet.” said the Squire, and he was drawing her to him for a kiss when whizz-wizz-zizzer- wizzer-hivzer ting, whir-r-r-r, tung ! hang the clock we:t off inside of him. ‘‘O’lawd !’ screamed the widow, ‘‘he’s shooting to pieces! Its Hanner’s old peanny a playin’ inside of him!” She said she'd haunt me ! She allers told me s@!” cried the ‘Squire, running in a stoop for his horse, with both hand pressed to his breast, the clock stili striking, ting, ting. He rode like old Nick was after him, and never knew tho racket till he felt for his tickler and pulled out the littla clock that Bob had bought at auction. Then he laughed till the tears ran, but be promised Bob never to speak to another woman if he’d only keep the joke from the neighbors. The widow be- lieves to this day that old man Bray is a walking volcano. q

_ a “Is This Naomi?”

The fa'e of poor Eugenie, late Empress of France, :3 fiited to point a moral and adorn

a tale. As the World points out, in 1809, Eugenie, Empress of tho French, was the

most ‘conspicuous, the most admired, and in many ways the most influential woman alive. She ruled France through her hus- band, an ithe civilized world through its fashions. Stil a young woman compara- tively, sie looked forward through the future of herson, a bright, affectionate and devoted lad of thirteen, to alony life of splendour and power in the capital of Con- tinental Europe. In November, i879, d throned. exiled, widowed 3 bowed and broken with the weight of her sorrows, Zagehie, ex-Eimpress of the i‘rench passes, ‘ ¥ permission of a hostile Govern- ment, through Paris to reach the bedside of the Just relative left to her on earth just tov , eyes.

The ties that bound the Empress Ha. genie to carth have disappeared one by one during tie past decade. First, an imperial crown wes taken from her head; next, a husband died a breken- hearted exile ; then a well-beloved only son and child was snaiched from her by the Zulus ; and now her mother is is gone to her last resting- place, without receiving the last embrace of her'daug iter. It was a wise saying of Sol- on that iio person shall be accuunted happy before death, for who did not envy the Em- pzess of France in 1869, while in 1879 who does not pity her?

E have great pleasure in|

Tur Patriot reports that the following beau- tiful verses, which possess no ordinary merit, ( were found among the papers of the late Mr. | W. A. D. McKinley, whose death was recent- ly recorded in these columns. We copy them | from the Christian Visitor—

Light and Darkness. Why live, when life is sad,

Death only sweet?

Why fight, when closest fight

Ends in defeat?

Why pray, when purest prayer

Dark thoughts assail?

Why strive, and strive again, Only to fail? Why hope, when life has proved

Our best thoughts vain ?

Why not cool heart and brain in the-deep wave? Vhy not lie down and rest

In the still grave?

Live—there are many round thee

Needing thy care;

Pray—there is One at hand

Helping thy prayer ; Fight—for the love of God,

Not for renown ;

Strive—but in his great strength

Not in thy own ;

Hope—there is heaven’s joy

Laid up for thee ;

Love —for true love outlives

Its agony ;

Fight, pray and wrestle on, '

Loving God best, Then, when thy work is done ; > Lie down and rest.

The Edison Hlectric Light.

Christmas Live will be looked forward to with more than usual -interest by gas com- panies. Mr. ‘Thomas A. Edison, of world- wide fame, who has been engaged for some time in trying to secure the economical sub- division of his electric light, asserts that he has accomplished his object, and intends giving a public exhibition of his achieve- ment at ‘‘ Menlo Park;? N. J., on Christ- mas Eve. Le wili illuminate all the build- ings in the modest little hamlet in which h: lives and works. To that end wire have been run from house to house, and cannect- ed thence with his laboratory. The illnm- ination will be by means of what might be called electric jets, but which, more pro- perly speaking, are small spirals of platin-

~

um and ridium in a state of incandescence in a vacuum. The dynamo-electric ma-

chines, whence the current is generated, are already set up in the labratory. One of these, having a forty horse power, will gen- erate suflicient electricity for 160 lights,

each of i6-candle power, which is the measurement of electric intensity. - That is

to say, the extraordinary phenomenon may be seen on Christmas Day in Menlo Park, if Edison is to be believed, of electric lights toned down to the intensity of gas jets. Mr. Edison asserts his determination to in- vite Cistinguished people from far and near to witness his achievement. We shall now soon see if it is possible to put the electric light to practical use, or if the wonderful invention is justthe least bit of a fraud from a practical point of view.

Cetewayo

‘ape Town con- tains the following: ‘‘ Sir Bartle Frere. in his interview with the Zulu King, asked him if there was anything he wished for, and Cetewayo, after a slight demur, said that he should like to have the floor of his room cleaner. _He has astonished his enemies not a litle by his courteous manner and cleanliness. [I have often heard people say, ‘ Why one can’timagine he is such a monster of wickedness and cruelty to look at his face.’ had said that it was his distinct orders that no oflicer showd be killed, and that when his army returned from Isandlana, he asked where the officer priseners were, and they said they could not distinguish the officers from the men. I musi not forget to tell you that Cetewayo takes great interest in illustrated papers, and when he was shown one of them with a picture of himself sharp ening a knife to kill Grandier, he burst out laughing, and said he never knew what a real lic was until he saw that. I hear that he has been suffering from rheumatism iately. It is said that he cannot bear to hear John Dunn’s name mentioned ; one cannot wonder at that.
