crows, enjoyed the feast. “The way t @ man’s heart is through his stomach,” as the Sanscrit poet hasit. But, Coptic or Sanserit, the vanity of a few women, alone to be admired for the development of the brain at the expense of every other quality that a man admires in a woman, sought admiration in this direction. The Bohemians toasted them and they toasted the Bohemians, These swallowed the toasts and the tea at the same time and pronounced the Sorosis the finest society ever instituted for Bohemian benefit, As woman advances in her attempts to usurp the position which nature appears to have in- tended for man she must expect to sacrifice all those courtesies which man has heretofore been proud to yield to her. She may gain in what she calls her rights, but she will lose in all those intensely refined attentions which have produced a bigh civilization. To-day she has a greater influence than any she may hope .to attain by sacrificing these attentions for what she aims at. Let those who pretend to represent the women of America cease to funsex themselves and destroy all that refine- ment of sentiment which now clings to mother, wife or sister, There is enough suffering, enough that demands the care of woman in all directions, in which she may win greater influ- ence than any that a vote would give her. Nature made man stronger and framed him for battles with the outer world. If woman takes from him his God-given prerogative, which he holds in common with the male sex of every animal species, she will deprive him of all that which he is now proud to defend. Such societies as that of the Sorosis debase our civilization, and men whose stomachs con- trol them more than their heads are the only ones who will be found among its supporters. The German Question of the Hour—Its Relation to the Future of Europe. A new question has sprung up in Germany. It is seriously engaging the attention of Prus- sia. Itis also commanding the attention of France. Whatis this question? Let us briefly state it. In 1866 Prussian success was 80 com- plete and her aggrandizement was so alarm- ing that the world was astonished and France took fright. Since the year 1866 Prussia and .Germany have remained very much in statu quo. Germany has not grown more into a unit, Prussia has neither coaxed nor com- pelled any further additions to her territory. The North German States and the Free Towns are not much more reconciled to the domina- tion of Prussia than they were at the outset, and the South German States have discovered no good and satisfactory reason why they should give up their independence for the mere sake of making Germany a unit for the benefit of the Prussian monarchy. From a broad German point of view this is the answer to the question we have put. The situation has acquired interest from a variety of inside and outside circumstances. The national party in Prussia, who go in for German unity, but who willingly or unwillingly identify German unity with Prussian suprem- acy, have, it appears, of late been doing their best to induce Count Bismarck to make the North German Confederation less a name and more a fact, by giving the confederation a responsible ministry. Such an arrangement would make an end of the viceregal positions aow enjoyed by the subject sovereigns, and, if it ‘did not make an end of their authority in any shape, would certainly reduce them to the rank of governors or pretects. In the present state of German feeling Count Bismarck wisely refuses to follow any such advice. The Ger- man people of all sections love independence first, unity second. Enjoying, however, a cer- tain kind of independence and believing that a certain kind of unity already exists, they are naturally enough unwilling to move in any direction the results of which promise only to be of doubtful value. The report which we gave in yesterday's Hezatp of the debates in the French Cham- bers shows that the doubtful condition of Prussia is one of the main reasons why the war policy has not been forced upon the Emperor. M. de la Valette, perhaps, the one man in France, after the Emperor, wha thoroughly understands Europe, and M. Thiers, who hates Prussia with a hatred which ig all the more intense that it is baseless and unjust, both agree that it is wisest and best to accept the situation in Germany and to await further developments, They know well that war between France and’ Prussia would drive the German people, North and South, East and West, under Prussian banners. If a reac- tionary spirit is to check Prussian ambition why should France go to war at present? If war is to advance the interests of Prussia and peace is to advance the interests of France, why should not France prefer peace? Such is the reasoning of M. de la Valette and M. Thiers. We must not forget, however, that the elections in France do not take place until the 30th of May. The elections, it may be found, will settle the question of peace or war.

VETO MESSAGF. ‘Theffollowinge messag was received from the Governor, vetoing the bil amending the act to supply vacancies iu the oilices of Justice of the Peace in the several towns of this State, passed April 15, The bil consists of two sections. ‘The tirst provides that w oitice of Justice of the Pe annual town meeting in any y d before the next annual town meeting in such town certain town oflicers, or @ majo- rly of them, may appoint ® person to fill the Vacancy, and ‘any person 60 appolated shall hold sa{d ofice’until five days after the then next annual town meeting of sald town, By a reverence to article alx, section seventeen, of the coustitution it will be seen that Justices of the Peace are elective oflicers. The fiftieth section, article ten, of the constitution reads Loaislature shall provide for tilling vacancies in ofc and in the case of elective officers no person appointed to il a vacancy #huli hold his office by virtue of such appointment longer than the commencement of the political year next suc- ceeding the first annual election after happening the vacancy. It fs obvious that in case a vacancy occurring after the annual town meeting aud before the annual election of the same year, this section would provide that the person sp- pointed to fill the vacancy should continue to hold office after the next succeeding Ist of January, which would be the com- mencement of the political year next succeeding the frat an- nualelection after happening the vacancy. Such provision of the law is forbidden by the constitution. Section second of the bill provides that when a vacancy shall exist and a justice of the peace sail have been elected in the town, whose term of office does not commence untii the Ist of January following, the person fo elected shall be appointed to fil such vacancy. Article ten, section two, of the constitution prescribes that ali city, town and village odicers, whose election or appointment {s not provided for by this’ constitution, shall be elected by the electors of such cities towns and villages, or some division thereof, or ap- pointed by such authorities thereof as the Legislature shal designate for that purpose, [Cis plain that the person pointed ‘ont dy this act asthe one who shall fll the vacaucy tn the case described in this second section, could hold oflice while filling a vacancy neither by the election of electors of the town or any portion of them, nor by appointment of the local authorities. The power of appointment, that is, the selec- tion of a person who shail fill & vacuney, is, according to the constitution, to be conferred absoiutely, if conferred at all, upon the local authorities, |The Legislature cannot desiguate in advance what person ‘they shall appoint.

BootH’s THEATRE.—Last night tho tragedy of “Othello’’ was played here with the principal parts changed, Mr. Booth appearing as lago and Mr. Adams as Othello. It was not a striking per- formance. It was a performance so toned down a3 to lose all point, and its level was not the level of re- pose but of tameness, So fax as regards Mr. Booth’s own part it was not the Iago we have hitherto seen him present. It was in peculiar contrast with the villain we have kept in memory from the days when Mr. Booth projected into the lines of this part with an intellectual torce that nothing couid surpass the sublime of re- veugeful malignity. Now the actor is content to de- liver hus lines and have done with them, and Otnello's ancient is but a “muddy mettled rascal.” Mr. Adams is a common place Othello; Miss McVicker is no Des- demons at ail, and the Cassio 18 not t he fine gentle- man that Shakspeare drew. Perhaps it is enough that in these days of dramatic degradation we have so fine a house and such fine scenery devoted to Shakspeare, and that an immense audience cares to be present. Yet the audtence wok the matter coolly, and jet the story goon with very little interrupuon from enthasiastic palins, TAMMANY.—Last night a crowded audience, sitting and standing, witnessed the first performance of a nondescript called a burlesque pantomine, under the utle of “Robinson Crusoe.” Preceding the per- ormance was L’Ecole Gymnase, followed by a song, which was badiy received by the audience, afcer which came the classical trapeze, by Mile. Zuliela and Mons, Vinturl. These restored the crowd to good humor for the opening act of ‘Robinson Crusoe.” This purports to be in the Island of Soro- sis, where the excellent ballet corps of Tammany opened with a grand ballet. The first act includes @ scene at an English inn, with song and dance, an occasional fairy and some very funny scenes, in which it is dificult to tell what the piotor performance aimsto be. In the second act there seems to be more design, and broad fun is the aun throughout, Robinson Crusoe appears wich al! his animals and man Friday, who, with the help of the monkey (admirably given by Zanfretta) and a baich of dough, manages to keep the audience in a roar of laughter through the act. In the last act a trausformation of characters occurs, and a harlequinade 1s introduced with a very good effect, the whole winding up with a magnificent scene cailed the “Golden Realm.” ‘The piece had = all the = disadvantages of a first night, and we doubt not wilt run more gibly after a iittie practice and some judicious pruning. The overture is altogether to long for a second part, and tue introductory ballet scene can be cut down to advantage. There are many good local hits im the readings, which were weil received, but the puns and word play did not take. After pruning the fun o: the piece will show better and it will doubtless be a popular favorite, THEATRE CoMIQUE.—"'Piuto,” as reconstructed by the versatile Lingard, was performed last might at the above popuiar house of entertainment to a densely packed but highly delighted audience. The gorgeous manner in which this sprightiy burlesque 18 put upon the stage evidences the exceeding good taste and almost prodigal liberality of the manage- ment. The costumes of the pringipal performers were rich in the extreme and anything but cumber- some; that worn by Miss Altice Dunning—a tight- fitting flesn-colured dress, relieved by # black velvet belt, heavily fringed with gold—was particu. larly admired for iis striking simplicity. The dialogue was brisk and well pointed, the arrangement of the music excellent. and alto- gether Mr. Lingard’s “reconstruction” is a decided ceas, The new song, “Kiding on a Velocipede,”” proved # tremendous hit, and the sprightly manuer in which it was rendered by Miss Alice Dunning and Miss Dickie Lingard, elicited enthusiastic applause: and tumultuous encores irom the critics in the gallery. PARK THEATRE, BROOKLYN.—The benefit of Mr. William Harris, who appears to have grown into great favor with the havitws of the Pars theatre, proved one of the most flattering and pecuniarily successfyl events of the scason at this popular place of amusement. The play selected was the emotional drama, in @ prologue and four acts, entitled the “Marble Heart,” which was given im Brookiyn last evening for the first time in two years. Some little disappointment was occasioned in consequence of the absence of Mrs, F. 4, Conway, who unforta- nately met with a severe accident on Friday even- ing last while playing at Boston. It is said, however, that she will shortly be able to assome her place on the siage. Misa Ella Wren performed she part of the title ro/e in the absence of the leavee, who was to have appeared im that character, and acquitted’ herself in a most creditable manner, ‘The advent of Mr. Harris, who personated Raphael Duchalet, the scniptor, was the signal for & gradual outburst of enthusiastic ap- lause, Which aid not subside for some minutes. ‘he Editor of the Magic Lantern, by Mr. George De Vere, was an admirable rendition of the part; his enunciation is clear, and there is ap absence of any. thing akin to that stagey demeanor noticeable among others of tne cast. The Clementine of Mise Noble was very fair. The rest of the company, gene- rally speaking, maintained their respective parts so as to form @ fair support to the representation. ‘This evening the “Streets of New York” will be re- vived at the Park theatre.

Two trots came off at the Fashion Course yseter- day afverngon—the first a sweepstakes and the other a xaich, In the sweepstakes there were three en- tries, but only two of the horses started for the money, tHe Other one being so lame that his driver deemed it advisable’ $o withdraw him, Ths trot was in harness, miie heats, best three in five, and said to be for $750. The horse’ engaged were Dr. Ogie's Red Rover, Mr. Loveli’s Lady Lovell, and Mr. Het- trick’s brown mare, the deter being the lame one referred to. Red Rover won the race. The match race was between Dr. Ogie's eaestnut gelding Pet aad Mr. Lovell’s bay gelding Jim, This also Dr. Ogle won after four heats, the second beury a dead heat between the horses. The match was fow $500, The betting on botn results was brisk, the Doctor's orses being the favorive in both instances, The track was in fine condition, but the wind was 80 high in the early afternoon as to be rather unfa- vorabie to the horses, 80 far as making fast time was concerned, They, however, did as well, and made 8 good races a3 could be expected from horses of their class, These trots had nothing in them to at- tract the public generally, so the spectators were principally composed of those gentlemen who sel- dom fail to visit every trot of the season, and noth- ing short of sickness or very urgent business detains them at home. There was @ great deal of general conversation indulged in yesterday, the principal topic being the coming contest between Lady Thorn and American Girl, and a great deal of betuing took place as to the result, Lady Taorn being the favorite at one hundred to flity. This high state of odds was due to arumor having got abroad that American Girl was not just what she ought to be as regards condition—that she was off her feed; that her mouth was sore, and that she had evidently been put in training too early in the season, and that her acme of condition reached one week too soon. A week ago, when we last saw her, she looked in fit condition to enter the lists with any horses in tne country, and, for all we know to the contrary, did so yesterday. The race is so near at hand, how- ever, that all reports regarding iack of condition, &c., must be received with many grains of allow- ance, asall sorts of schemes will be devised to in- fluence the betting. It 1s doubtful whetner any cor- rect opinion can be formed until the morning of tne race, which takes place next Monday, at the Fashion Course, when every one will have an opportunity of using his individual judgment, which, after all, in Cy nee of well known facts, 1s che beat criterion go by. aue entries at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds was also another theme of discussion. ‘ne general impression among sporting me. seemed to be that the entries were capital and would develop a great deal of fine trotting, as better fields of horses could not weil be got together. Some were devising plans Jor new purses to take the place o! those tuat did not fill, and suggested that the managers of that imstl- tution should give a purse for horses tat have never beaten 2:25, which would bring together Myron Perry, Hotspur, Belle Strickland and others of that grade, The general impression, however, seemed to be that two trots a day were quite enougi, partic- ularly with such good entries as were 1a for tue various purses. We think so too, as it would be impossible to get througa wit more on one alver- noon satisfactorily to the public. Visiting the stable of George Palmer, and inquiring of his trainer why he did noi enter him for the $5,000 Parse at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds, we were given to understand that the horse would not be in ltcondition to trot at the time this race will come off, and that he will need a fuil month’s more prepa- ration. We append a report of the trots yesterday:— THE FIRST TROT. Fasnion Course, L. l.—Purse and stake, $750; mile heats, best three in five, in harness. De. Ogie entered b. g. Red Rover ..

Both horses broke up twice on the homestretca, Red Rover winning the beat by half a dozen lengths in 2:55, Second Heat.—ien to turee was now current on Red Rover to win. They were along téme scoring, the judge Urreatening them with a standing start. They, however, got aWay at last with Red Rover one jeugtn or more in the lead.

The mare trotted steadily ror a short time on the backstretch, but when close to the pooes: she broke up and fell off three lengths. Red over Was two lengths in front at the half mile pole in 1:23. On the Flushing end the mare broke again all to pieces and before the driver picked her up she was a dozen hs veuind, She took @ good long ran, but for all that was cigs jengths in the rear at the three-quarter pole.

Pet got the advan- tage by two lengths, which he soon made into five m the turn, when both of them oroke up. Pet proved by far the best breaker, as he rather gained the operation, and was six lengths ahead at the quarter poie in forty seconds. He broke ap three times on the backstretch, but managed to keep half a dozen lengths ahead ail the way to the half mile pole, which he passed in 1:19 He broke up twice more on the Flushing end, and Jim but once, yet stil Pet maintained the lead of six lengths, Break- ing did not retard his progress. 1t was just as easy, yon know, as sliding of a log. He came on tne homestretch witha fine advaatage, aud won the heat by five lengtns in 2:46, Second Heat.—Twenty to three offered on Pet, ‘with few takers. He had the best of the send-off, Mr. Lovell seeming to like a trailing position best, probably the better to observe the movements of his opponent. Pet opened a wide gap around the turn, out fell back agai before he reached the quarter pole, being three lengths im front at that point in for ne seconds. t broke several times on the tuckstreteh, yet was two lengths ahead at the hall- mite pole in 1:20. He broke again and again on the a end, and thea old Jim began to overhaul him.

Tira Heat.—Vhe result of the last heat did not alter the betting, as Pet was still offered at very long odds without takers, no-one seeming willing to ven- ture a dollar on old Jim. Pet took the lead at the start, was four lengths ahead at tne quarter pole in forty-one and a-half seconds, #x lengths in froot at the half mile pole in 1:19%, and came home an easy winner by five lengths in 2:43 4. Fourth Heat.—This was neariy @ counterpart of the previous heat. Pet took the lead and went to the quarter pole five lengths ahead of Jim, in forty-one seconds, was nearly the same distance in front at the mite pole in 1:21, and came bome a win- ner by four lengths tn 2:44, FASHION COURSE. Closing of the Entries for the Fashion Course Purses. ‘The entries for the Fashion Course purses, to be trotted for between the 10th and 18th of May, closed just night at Messrs. Mitchell Brothers, Broadway. The attendance, as usual upon such occasions, was extremely satisfactory, the company comprising many of the well known owners of trotting horses in this city and neighboring sections, The purses of- fered were seven in number—six for horses and one for velocipede riders, the managers of tho course deeming the mania for such exhibitions at present of that nature as to Warrant this action.
