from the balcony of his hotel?” Finally, “What was he doing when he had his white ‘hat stuffed’ on the occasion of a certain Tam- many jollification ?” How ridiculous all these things appear when viewed in the light of sober reality! And taking the bitter or lager beer controversy now -geing on between a Boston parson’ and a quasi-religious edilor into consideration, in the same connection,"may not our honest teeto~ talers well ask, ‘What are we coming to?” The Anniversary of Leipsic. On the 19th of October, 1813, the allied sovereigns of Prussla, Russia and Ausiria en- tered in triumph the city of Leipsic, after their decisive victory over the French and their German allies under the great Napoleon. The battle, in which one hundred and sixty thou- sand French and Germans were opposed by two hundred and forty thousand Prussians, Russians and Austrians, began on the 16th, and ended on the 18th, in the disastrous re- treat of Napoleon, with the loss in killed, wounded and prisoners, and German desert- ers in the heat of tho battle, of one-third his army and half his artillery. But he still made good his retreat with the remainder of his forces, and never extibited such skill, tenacity, pluck and resources as in that famous defen- sive campaign in France to April, 1814, against the overwhelming armies of the allies, In thee late terrible battles near and at Sedan, of several days’ duration, the French army under Napoleon the Third (or McMahon) in the beginning numbered hardly less than one hundred and fifty thousand men, the Ger- man armies enveloping the French being esti- mated at two hundred and fifty thousand men— the strength of the forces on both sides being nearly the same as at Leipsic in 1813. But here the comparison ends ; for while the first Napoleon, after greater losses in his battle than those of the French in the fighting around Sedan, still saved the bulk of his army, Napoleon the Third was in- volved in the surrender of his army— ‘men and materials—to the enemy. The moral is, althongh Leipsic, like Sedan, was the death blow to the French empire, bad Napeleon the Firat been in the place of Napoleon the Third in 1870 there would have been ne champagne drinking yesterday or to-day by King William in Versailles and no bonfires by the Prussian army in front of Paris in celebration of the battle of Leipsic, Tho Retrogressive Policy of the Chinese. Not long ago the Burlingame mission from the Emperor of China to the United States government and the Powers of Western Europe startled the world into a belief that China was about to tear down the wall of its old exclu- sive prejudices and to join the great family of mations, That this revolution may be effected ultimately is by no means impossible. Tho Chinese progressive party has still influence ‘enough to have induced the Emperor to send 8 party of officers—one a Prince of the impe- rial house—to visit the seat of war in Europe and to report their observations. This party arrived in San Francisco on the 16th inst. by the steamer Great Republic. But the Chinese reactionary party, incited by the priests and other adherents of the traditional policy of the empire, seem more than ever determined to restore and maintain it. The Pekin authori ties appear to make no sincore efforts to bring the Tientsin murderers to justice, and the latest advices from China, via London, show that preparations for war continue, the Chi- nese professing to believe that the French re- proseatatives exceeded their instructions in making peremptory demands which must lead to war. So long as the European war shall last a coalition between the Powers to which the Burlingame mission was sent is, perhaps, unlikely. But, sooner or later, such a coali- tion, headed, it may be, by the United States government, will be needed to constrain the Chinese to abandon their cruel and retrogres- sive policy towards ‘‘outside barbarians.” Taxonore Tizron has horrified the Puri- tans of Boston in charging one of her Paritan preachers as guilty of drinking lager beer, and on Sunday, andin a lager beer garden, and in the Bowery, and after divine service, too, and not one glass, but several glasses at one sit- ting. Worst of all, Tilton is ready to prove it. After this let the prophet Miller, dead or alive, blow his horn for the second advent, We are veady for anything. “fug IMPENDING Crists IN New Yorx,”— The Chicago Z'ridune, having asserted that “the city of New York is rapidly drifting toward one of the most formidable riots it has ever known on the approaching election day,” the Albany Argus (democratic organ) says :— if in these words that the Chicago Trivune an- mounces tie foregone concinsioy that a riotis to be got up ia New York forthe benefit of the national admlaistration, The arrangement has been going on for some time. “Wanted—A mot.

There is, no doubt, a great deal of clap-trap about these bugaboo stories of contemplated riots and riot- ing in this city; but they are all got up for political effect. At any rate, this riotous spirit seems to have exploded itself, so far as one faction is concerned, at the late republican primary rumpus here, Mrie.
