THE NEW IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT.
The conflict that is impending be
tween England and Kussia is as irre
pressible as that which once con
vulsed the United States. The
Bussian empire occupies the whol
of northern Europe. Its great want,
felt ever since it expanded into its
present power, is an outlet iu winter. '
For half a year its ports in the Baltic
are sealed with ice. It has ports in '
the Black sea which are accessible at j
all seasons, utu Turkey commauus
the outlet to the Mediterranean and
the world beyond. Bnssia, like its
typical bear, is therefore forced to
hibernate. It is hermetically sealed
for one-half of each year. The weak
ness which results from this condi
tion has often been demonstrated.
Several limes, in recent years, when
apprehending war, Bnssia had to
send its Asiatic fleets to winter iu
this port, and its Atlantic fleets to
New York and Norfolk.
It is not necessary now to consider
whether the possession of a port, or
ports in Europe, accessible at all
times, is, or is not, a worthy national
ambition. The condition of the
United States at the outset of our ca
reer bore some resemblance to that
of Bussia. A foreign power com
manded the outlet of the Mississippi
as Turkey now holds the only outlet
for Bussia into the Mediterranean.
We were not sealed up in winter as
Bussia is, but, for all that, the repres
sion at the mouth of the Mississippi
was keenly felt. If a lucky European
complication had not given us a
chance to purchase Louisiana for a
bagatelle from the First Napoleon, it
is not improbable that wo would have
taken possession by forco lopg ago.
England from the beginning has
thrown the chief obstacles in the way
of Bussian development in the direc
tion above stated. She was moved
to this ceurse: first, by jealousy of a
possible naval rival in Bussia; and
second, through au apprehension that
an accumulation of Bussiau power
near the Mediterranean might endan
ger her principal line of communica
tion with her East Indian posses
sions. So far England has been enabled
to induce other nations to act with
her in confining the great northern
colossus to his present limits. In
1851 sho had willing 'assistants in
Louis Napoleon, who about that time
began to feel that military glory was
essential to the permanency of his
dynasty, aud of Victor Emanuel, who
was anxious to secure a recognized
place in the European family of na
tions for his little kingdom of bar
dinia. It is quite certain, however,
that as the irrepressible conflict be
tween England and Bnssia progresses,
its adventitious surroundings would
disappear, and that in time the real
belligerents wonld find themselves
face to face. This seems to bo the
condition of things to-day. In such
a conjuncture to talk of arbitration,
or composition of tho difficulty, is a
mere waste ot time. If the conflict
does not come off now, it will at some
future day. So longas Bussia is shut
out from the Mediterranean and En
gland holds India, a collision is
among the certainties of the future.
Komaroffand AlikhanofT, Sir Peter
Lumsden and the ameer are now fir
ing the train as the Greek and Latin
monks by their quarrels in the Holy
Sepulchre in ISoi did that which pro
duced the Crimean explosion.
It can, perhaps, lead to nothing but
error to suppose that Bnssia wants
India. She has not the least use for
that vast dependency. There is not
much in it now. Warren Hastings
and his successors have drained it
very thoroughly. Tho looms of India
have been superceded by those of
Europe; her kings, princes and be
gums have been plundered, of most
oftheir treasures. India is a prosaic
country, that now produces wheat,
indigo and- opium. It is making
some experiments in quinine. The
great white czar does not want it.
Holy Bussia has no use for jt. But
Herat, the key which unlocks it is
earnestly desired. It is expected that
that key can be used to open the
Bosphorus and not India. If Herat
is conceded there will be no war now.
But there will be one by and by, when
Bussia will be in better condition to
wage it than now. It follows that if
England loses India, that she will no
longer have any reason to impede
Bussian development in southeastern
Europe. Whenhe has no Asiatic
dependency to look after, she will
not be concerned about the lines o!
communication with the Orient
What the issue of the tremendous
conflict, which appears to bo immi
nent, is likely to"be, n'o man, of course,
can telL The collision on land will
be on the confines of Afghanistan.
Tho English will do some heavy fight
ing. The only native troops upon
which they can place much depend
ence are the Afghans, tho Sikhs and
the Ghourkas. The great mass of
the Sepoy army in India is a frail
reed. On the other hand, the Bus
sians are steady fighters. Mbro or
less fanaticism is mixed up with
all their campaigning. Holy Bussia
excites an enthusiasm among them
that has not been felt in England
since the time of Cromwell's Iron
sides. The will be jn addition some
sputtering naval warfare. Bussian
ports on the Baltic and t lso on the
Black sea may be bombarded. There
will be considerable slopping over of
the fighting into the Pacific. Per
haps Bussian ironclads may discharge
some shells at English seaports. But
for a half-century the naval arm of
no nation has been very conspicuous
in war. The fight between the Mon-
ftor aud the Jlernmav in Hampton i
roads, the capture of New Orleans
and Mobile and the battle of Lissa
almost comprise the naval achieve-'
merits of the epoch.
The Afghans have been the theme
for some time past, but little has been
said regarding their arms. The Af
ghan matchlock or jaziel has no par
allel as a firearm on the face of thej
earui. xz is aoout nine icer. long, aim
is fitted near the muzzle with a prong
which supports it on the earth when
it is about to be fired off. It is fitted
with a powder pan nnd a catch for
holdiug a fuse, and, therefore, he is
by no means a certain shot During
the last Afghan war it used to be a
joke among the British soldiers that
an Afghan would poise his jaziel up
on a rock, calculate when his enemy
would be likely to arrive in front of
his muzzle, fixhis fuse, and then go
off to some little distance and sit
down and smoke. If the enemy ar
rived in front of the matchlock just
as it went off, why then he would
most likely be killed; but it he didn't
and tho weapon went off a quarterof
an hour after he had passed it, then
no harm was done, and its owner
would philosophically set the jaziel
again in hopes of catching the next
comer, and then go oil to his rock
and smoke and await developments.
Henry James, a nephew and name
sake of the well-known novelist, is a
most interesting ohild of three years.
Becently Mrs. Trowbridge of Cam
bridge, called to see Mrs. James,
and not finding her at home,
said to the child: "I have no cards
with me; do you think you can re
member my name and tell your mam
ma that Mrs. Trowbridge called to
see her?" The child looked her full
in the face and replied: "There are
so many things in the world that I
want to remember and can't. I don't
think I shall try to remember a thing
I don't want to." Again, after being
advised to try and button her own
shoes, faint grunts wero heard in the
next room, nnd soon in an emphatic
tons came the werds: :0h, God,
why couldn't you have made mo with
ray shoes on?' JV. Y.I'ost.
A class in mental arithmetic was
questioned concerning the number of
men required to perform a certain
piece of work in a specified time,
the answer given was "twelve men
and two-thirds." A bright lad per
ceiving the oddity of two-thirds of a
man, instantly replied; 'Twelve men
and a boy fourteen years old" four
teen being two thirds of twenty-one,
the legal age of manhood.
A Fastta? Girl.
Iu Cincinnati a sixteen-year-old
girl recently died after a fast of fifty
two day.". She had been attacked by
something like paralysis which rend
ered it impossible for her to take
nourishment. The human svstem
.cannot thrive without good food and
good ability to digest it. Weak and
impairod digestiou is rectified by
Brown's Iron Bitters--better than
any other tonio in the world. Mr. J.
E. Freoberg, Pomeroy. Iowa, says:
'1 used Brown's Iron Bitters for dys
pepsia and poor appetite; completely
cured me.'' It will cure you.
"So yon play the piano, my little
girl?" said a gentleman to a little
miss. "Yeth, thir." "And can you
play any other instrument?" "Not
yet", thir, but I expect to play the
harp when I go to heaven" lioton
