Wj Likelihood of a European War thia Spring. London, February 19.?Arobibald Forbes, who ie regarded hero as the prince of war correspondents, is rery positive that there will be no war. It will bo remembered that he married last year in Washington the daughter of (leo. Meiggs. and, happy as ho is in his domestic relations and suffering as he does from rheum t sin, contracted in the last llueso-Turkish war, he would not probably take the field | in case hostilities should begin. Nevertheless, ho ie an acute observer, and few men are as well informed a? ho as to the fignling capacity of any and all tho Power*. 'Peace will not be disturbed this spring,' he said yesterday when I called upon him. 'Thorn will be no out or enc oeiweeu rYance and Germany. In lead, through all this talk of war, I havo never thought it probable.' Why?' I asked. Because the French are not going fo attack and Gigoiarck is sincere in his profession of peaoe. If he had not been be would hare accepted the three-year army bill instead of insisting to the last extremity on the Seplcnnate. If he had really meant to provoke war immediately, three years would be ample time in which to crush France and havo done with it. You see, there could not be a long war. In truth, thee cou'd not well be more than one campaign. More than one would be too much for the financial resources of either country, so terribly expensive would war bo now. Nobody in Germany wants war. They did not want it in 1870. Gut it was forced upon them and they struck back with terrific impetuosity and effect. It would bo teu-fold worse now. The French know it, aud they have counted the cost aud aro going to keep quiet.' Til K FKOSTIKHS WE'.L-NIOU 1.MPBKO.S Ant.K. Of course, you are well arquaintcd, Mr. Forbes, wiih tho French aud German frontier, nod the defences on both sides. If war should occur, what do you thiuk would be the line of action ?' As 1 said, France does not mean to attack, and, if she d<d, 1 do not see how she could ever break the German line ef fortifications, which is much Stronger now than in 1870, and I believe it would be almost impossible for the Germans to break through the French lines, which havo been greatly strengthened, you knew. The of nnhlll nan nnt Kalwaan l' Germany in quite narrow, and this has keen fortified on both sides to the utmost limit of engineering skill. I think Bismarck s idea would be, not ta break through the French lines, but to go around through Belgium aud strike France on a frontier that is almost defenceless. 1 am sure he has long been trying to square himself with Belgium, that he might do this with her ensent. In fact, he wanted to hare Belgium como into the German Empire and be as much a part of it as Bavaria. His argument was that it weuld be bottcr for Belgium to have the guarantee of Germany than to be under a sort of protecting mgis of the great Powers, which really amounts to no protection at all. Belgium, however, preferred to be independent aui rejected tho advances of Bismarck, i do not doubt, though, that tho Gcrmau army would march right thraugh her territory to attack Franco, if she thought it a military necessity.' ENGLAND'S FiatlTiaa DATS OVER. 'But would not that involve Germany in a war with England, who was one of tho signatoiies of tho treaty of Paris of 1815, by which the neutrality of Belgium was gun*-untecd '{ 'The treaty amounts to nothing. There is not a Power in Europe that would fight to preserve the neutrality of Belgium under that treaty. England would not. England will fight for nothing except, possibly, to defend her territory from *nvasion.' You think she would no?. resist a Russian occupation of Bulgaria?' 'No, never.' 'Nora Russian Oe<>lin?tinn nf Pnmlnntinnnl*'' No neter.' , T, Do you tliiuk that llussia will occupy Du g*?if ah* does, it will be with the consent ol Germany anil Austria. _ lucn there would be no war iu that case .

They knew that he was in earnest, and they knew what war would mean Ibis time. ll Saigntr a blanc?bleeding till you aro white, w Ah 1 what an awful portent in those words. The French understood their significance and T they shrank from the trial. 1 don't say there wi'l not fco war between Franco aud Germany j sometime. Of course, all th!s aitniug means war in the end, but not now. The French wi'l "J net accent the ehni;?r./.? ? v?6?. What of Russia?' tli Th?re in greater danger there.

They have got biui excited upon tho subject?his 'dander's up,'? aud ho recklessly pledges bis word to 'scratch a poor man's head ihe rest of his life" rather than put the prices of hardware up. Well, Rcwley, we've been doing that kind of scratching all our long life, and we've cotno to tho deliberate conclusion that a poor man's head is tiie most uncomfortable thing to stratch imaginable.

The rain the past week has kept both man .and beast indoors. Even 'getting ready' for work on the farm has been suspended. The ground is too wet to plough, and it has rained so constantly (bat it was impossible for man to work out of doors, while the roads have become almost impassable, making the face of a 'country cousin' <|uite n rare sight in towu ; so our merchants arc at a standstill, also. The gloomy weather costs a gloomy shadow over evorybody and every occupation. Dut don't get discouraged, gentlemen, the sun will shino again and dispel the gloom. The 'gee-haw' of tlie farmer will soon again be heard in the land, brightoning everything and everybody with reuowed hope that a bountiful harvest next Fall will reward all who work assiduously and intelligently when the timo conies c that they can work. 'It ia a long lane that has no turning,' is a true saying, and ns wo have ( had three bad crop years, let us believe that tho ( trite oiu tillage, or rule of the boys, 'three times anil out,' will come truo with the farmers, ami < give them good crops this, tho four, thyear. 1 It may bo some relief to ft man to give ex- t pression to his feelings that the limes arc hard ; with him, but it won't do to stand and talk about it. Keeping your hands in your empty ) pockets won't till them with dollars. You must | take them out and put thein to work to earn the dollars you are so badly in uccd of. \ If you stand grumbling at hard times you 1 will never got rid of him, but ho will stick l closer to you, for he delights in hearing you grumble and seeing you stand still.

Important To Trial Justices.?The Supremo Court decided that Trial Justices havo no rigl.t to try cases of petty larceny when tho fine is not mjovo $100, or the imprisonment inoro than thirty days. Hereafter all such oasos will have to be sent up to the Circuit Courts. This will entail heavy expenses. The decision may he in accordance with the law and the Constitution, but it will work hard on the counties. Captain Robert W. Andrews, the aged Sumter tramp, who is now in Boston, writes as follows to the Boston Olobe : 'I will bet any man in the United States that I can out-walk aud out-jump any man of my ago in the United States of America, best two in three.
