All these disturbing forcea, however, includ- Ang the Fenton-Greeley faction and the Weed- ‘Morgan-Conkling-Murphy faction of New York, sand the Grats Brown and Carl Schurz and anti- Warl Schurz factions in Missouri and the lashing factions in ether States, and these wevenue reform guerillas, operating even for fthe organization of the next Congress with jthe aid of the democrats, are full of dangers fo the republican party. If they are not in their mad career they may break = the party into two or three parties and give jus a jolly sorub race for the Presidential suc- eession and run in the democratic ticket. As Mthe elections have gone this year by States ‘the democrats have 156 electoral votes to 154 ‘republican. Something must be done to make ‘matters better or they will get worse. Some new idea, as a diversion, some new jand popular movement on the part of the jadministration, is the remedy demanded ; and ta new and bold departure in reference to Cuba, ‘Canada or Mexico, but especially in reference Canada on the Alabama claims, will meet e case. On this point General Ben Butler is ht; for here General Grant may make an which will not only heal all these republi- an dissensions, but rally to his support the ative American vote and the German vote, jand en masse—mark this, en masse—the power- {ful Irish vote of New York and the whole country. Is not this something worth con- looking only to a decisive flank movement on Tammany Hall? Starvation in Paris—Eating a Menageric. No more startling presage of the famine hich threatens Paris could be furnished than e London telegram of the 12th, which an- ounced that the Parisians began on the 7th instant to slaughter and eat the flesh of the Mifferent animals in the Jardin des Plantes. was added that ‘the meat rates high in the et.

This enagerie is indeed abundantly supplied with It is one of the most extensive in e world, Hstablished in 1794, it has become: important addition to the attractions of the den, which itself dates from the reign of XII.

Here are all of poultry, geese and swans ; crocodiles, ligators, lizards, boa constrictors, buffaloes, ions, bears, elephants, camels, camelopards, yenas, panthers, Bengal tigers and ianumera- le monkeys. In the good old days of peace the isitor was directed to apply to M. le Directeur \u Jardin des Plantes for a ticket to witness the Weeding of the animals; but now that dire war thas reduced the Parisians to feed upon them, ‘differently worded ticket will be required. INo doubt Parisian cookery will be equal to the emergencies, but the Parisian restaurants will need new and strange bills of fare. i Methodist Missions. The general missionary committee of the [Methodist Episcopal Church met on Saturday, jat the mission rooms, on Broadway. Six pishops were present, Bishop Clark occupying Whe chair. According to the report, which s submitted by the treasurer, the balance mn hand November 1, 1869, was nine thousand wo hundred and fifty-two dollars, the receipts m that date to November 1, 1870, wore six foundred and eleven thousand eigat hundred nd forty-nine dollars, making a total of six dred and twenty-one thousand eight hus- | dred and two dollars. The disbursements luring the year past were six hundred and Kthirty-two thousand seven hundred and foriy- four dollars, thus leaving the treasury in debt mn thousand nine hundred and forty-two dol- But for so wealthy and numerous and ee & body of believers as the Methodist urch this latter sum is manifestly a mere eer for the grand total of the appro- ns at once voted for carrying on the ouble work of foreign and domestic missions Wuring the present year was six hundred and ie thousand two hundred and thirty-eight ollars. The recognized liberality of the @enomination is an ample guarantee that this ee sum, together with that of the overlying indebtedness, will be duly raised. Probably it will even be exceeded, inasmuch as the (Methodists, who already outnumber almost very other religious society in the United tates, are constantly adding te their mem- hip. They offer a signal example of the vitalizing influence to which we lately alluded ‘na 8 direct result of the missionary spirit, { Tae New Geeman Empire anv Possinne (ComPLioaTions.—It is now ne lengor denied by y one that Germany is already practically a | ait, This war has made an end of tho divi- | pion of centuries.

The tendency to complete ! in unification is irresistible. But much fAghting may be uecossary before the work is done, Radder, Times change. Things change. Mon change, Tastes change. Sometimes the amusements of our maturer years are as lightly thrown aside as the trivial toys of our childhood. As we grow older our minds become more enlarged, and the more manly the sport the more eager are we inclined to engage in it. Net unfreqnently these new attractions so absorb some men’s minds as literally to change their eharacters, They seem to lose their own identity in the new allurement. If their passion be for fashion, their weakness for dress, polite society or the opera, they talk almost always about fashion or the opera. If they take to horseflesh thelr talk is mostly “‘horse-talk.” But if they run to water, and are attacked with the thrilling “yacht fever,” it is very bad indeed fer them, particularly if they happen to be new to the businéss—amateurs, as it were, under canvas. Avery interesting case, coming under the latter head, has just occurred in this city, and as it is likely to be attended with the happlest results we will attempt to give a description of the snbject and a diagnosis of the disease. One of the most accomplished and popular theatrical managers in the city, the scion of a noble house, and himself a leader of the ton, and the very mould and pattern of punctilions nicety and politesse—we know our readers will recognize the picture, so it will be unnecessary fer us to say that we mean Mr. Lester Wal- lack, Jr., the model manager of Wallack’s beautiful theatre—this popular manager, we say, erewhile was wont to drive his dashing span of horses, sometimes four in hand, to tho envy of many who attempt ‘‘style” in a turn- out, but unfortunately carry the taint of the “shop” with them wherever they go. Snd- denly a change came over the manager's dream. It scemed as if a wand of magic had touched him. The amusements of the road—the dust, the clatter, the shatter, the crash, the smasb, the dash of a span of ‘fast ones” on the road—what were all these to the glorious sport of breasting the boisterous billows of grand old ocean? Abso- luiely nothing. The mania attending the recent great revival in ocean yachting had penetrated the velvet of our vividly minded manager; he became inoculated with the yachting fever—it took! And now behold him, the master of one of the prettiest, fleetest, sweetest little crafts that ever dipped her saucy head iato the foamy crest of a sparkling billow—the winner of the Queen's Cup—nothing less than the merry, dancing little Magic herself! A wand of magic had indeed touched him. And now he has abandoned the road and surrendered himself entirely to his new delight. Suppose we should say he gets his “‘sock and buskia” pro- fesgion “‘slightly mixed?” Whatofthat? There isso much of the genuine theatrical blood in the race of Wallacks that our new ‘devoted yachtman” can afford to ‘“‘mix things” if he chooses to, and rather gain than lose popu- larity thereby. Suppose he does forget him- self occasionally and tells Schénberg, his stage manager, to ‘“‘haul taut that jib sheet” when he simply means to have him ring up the curtain? Or when he wants a piece cut or pruned he directs, in a bold, sailor-like way, ‘Sheer off there, take a reef in the foreto’ martingale and clap on the scuppers?” Or when, behind the scenes, he hears a round of applause for the fascinating Miss Henriques, he exclaims, ‘‘All right, my heartics! Beara hand there, you greenhorn! Lively, boys, lively?” Or when an unfertunate supernu- merary stammers or stumbles he cries out, his eyes im fine frenzy rolling, “Dash my tarry toplights, why don’t you luff? Luff, you lubber, luff!” Or when he wants Moss, his gentlemanly treasurer, to balance his box shoct he tells him to ‘box the compass?” Or when Mark Twain sends him a fuany thing he accepts it and cautions Mark, who has just been made a happy father, ‘‘to keep an eye to windward, and look out for ‘squalls ?’” Sup- pose he does occasionally get things mixed up in this way. Suppose he does contemplate getting up a magnificent nautical spectacle, in which he will introduce his graceful little bijou of a yacht among the most striking scenic effects. Does not all this prove that his heart is in his new sensation, and, like all true mon, heintends to ‘‘stick to it?” In conclusion we take the liberty of welcoming Mr. Wallack into active membership in the New York Yacht Club. r A Horrmrr Arrar.—The murder of two boys on Saturday evening by a wretched old scavenger was unquestionably a herrible affair. At the game time it forcibly suggests the importance of giving to the young street Arabs, whose repeated insults provoked Con- rad Doll to his unjustifiable crime, direct and positive instruction as to their duties tewards such peor, degraded creatures. Not only are boys and even girls of the ruder sort, but also boys from whom better manners might be expected, frequently guilty of outrageous con- duct towards the ragged and drunken outcasts whem they encounter in the street. Parents and the teachers of our public and private schools sadly fail in their duty if they neglect to inculcate lessons of decent behavior towards all, and especially towards the unfortunate, on the minds and hearts of Young America. The brutality of boyhood is sure, if unchecked, to ripen in manhood into crime. Personal Intelligence. State Senator W. L. Reddick and Colonel James M.

Russia to the Signing Powers, Lownpon, Nov. 13, 1870. There is a rumor, which 1s credited in diplomatic circles, that Russia has informed the Powers that she considers the treatv of Paris of 1856 abrogated. Prince Gortscbakof® to Karl Granville— What Russia Demands. LONDON, Nov. 13, 1870, The Russian Mintster here read to Lord Granville a letter from Prince Gortschakoff stating that Russia now demands the modification or the abolition of the provisions signed at the convention in Paris on the 30th of Marth, 1856, articles eleven and thirteen, in the treaty of Paris, 27th April, 1856. These pro- visions forbid the Russian ficet from entering the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus from the Black Sea, and limits the Russian fleet in the Black Sea to ten small steamers; they also prohibit Russia and Tarkey maintaining on the Black Sea coast any military or marine arsenal, and generally neutralize the Black Sea, oy an interdiction from its waters of any vessels of war belonging to the Powers possessing its coasts or any other Power, This declaration on the part of Russia, being simultaneously made in London by the Cabinets of Constantinople, Vienna and Berlin, is believed here to indicate Russia’s readiness to insist on the recog- nition of her claim by force, Turkey Not Yet Notified of Kussia’s Inten- tions.

This general treaty between her Majesty the Queen of England, the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of the French, the King of Prussia, the Emperor of Russia, the King of Sardinia (Victor Emanuel) and the Sultan of Turkey was signed at Paris on the 30th of March, 1856, and the ratifications exchanged in the same city on the 27th of April in the same year. ‘The treaty contains twenty-four articles.

The day was tine, and it waa Supposed that there woula be the usual grand dis Play accorded to a person of her rank; but in this Sight scores were disappointed, for it turned out to | be @ most common affuir.

The natives complained at thls slight to the Queen by the King, whom tney delight to call Kamehameha the Good. ‘fhe natives were not notified of the order of the procession through the | Hawatian Court paper, and in fact hardly received notice of the day and hour of the funeral. The | crowning insult or outrage was the destruction of the two kahilis which are always placed on the sides of the entrance to the mausoleum. Some vanaal | went to the tomb withia a week after the funeral and demolished one kabili, leaving the remains on the ground, and carried the other of bodily, This outrage 1s also lald to the King's /ollowers, and whea it ts considered that no eflort has been made to detect the perpetrator of the most outrageous insult that can be offered to a deceused person, there seems to be some grounds for the charge.

Liszs Oratario of St. Elizabeth. This admirable vocal society, which has scarcely a peer in America, sighing for other worlds to con- quer, having gained all the laurels that Siingerbiinde could dispense, attempted last night at their hall, before # large ana truly fashionable audience, the herculean task of performing the latest and craziest emanation of the prince of musical lunatics, Franz Liszt. This was his ‘oratario’”’ on the legend of St. Ezabeth of Hungary. We know not whether this lady has been canonized a martyr; but if ever she endured half what Liszt has put in her mouth in his oratorio she certainly deserved the title. With the exception of an occasional scrap of melody here and there, which appears like an oasis in a desert of barren nonsense, the oratorio is the climax of absurdity. It would be needless for us to undertake the onerous task of analyzing such chaos; but we trust that we have heard it for the first and last time. Everything that could be done to make it a success—such thorough vocalists as Madame Rotter- Diefenbach, Madame Werner and Messrs. Vierling and Sobst, @ chorus, male and female, which is un- rivalled in’ this city,'a large, well relected orchestra and @ competent, painstaking leader like Agricola Paur—was cone by the society to give a satisfactory rendertag ef the work. But thcre are some things which are impossible, and one of these 1s to make seuse Out Of the ravings of the demented Abbe.
