A gentleman writing from the Mexican border to a government official in this city Aive quite a gloomy account of affairel in that re. gi-n ofcountry. He states, in oteot thatt to-day may bo seen floating the flag of the revolutionists, and huzzas, )uud and long. may be heard for Dias and his followers. To morrow Jarez is engaged in pulling down the flaunt. ing lie, and tihe revolutionists are franticilly fleeing before the govern. inent forces only to return next day and repeat their acts of violence and vil lainy with greater vigor. The neces. rities of the contending parties osuse themn to be unpleasant and unprotfita ble visitors, and their presence in Arizona naturally brings traffio to a star,dstill. Roaming bands of Mexi. cans cover the country, stealing hor ees, cattle sheep and provisions, and capturing loaded trains of oars, which they run off to Alexico, and in some instances they commit murder. The writer states thut it is feared the Mexican people do not take the required means to stop these raid-s, and that there is a probability that the people of Arisona will take the matter into their own hands. In ad dition to all this, the writer continues, Collyer's religiouily-inelined pets, the Apaches, are again on the war path and indulging in the innocent pa)utitne of pillaging, plundering and raising scalps. The crops are almost a failure th year, the supply being nmuch less than the demand. Merchants who have depended on receiving their supplie from Mexico now fall to obtain them, and starvation stares many of the pouipr classes in the face. This, in additlon to the scarcity of montep Induces many to withdraw from Art. ana Mad a general dearth of bomines there is the result.- Washiangto Chronicle. A Grand Scene. A correspondent writing frou Ieury Lake, in Montana, describei the locality as a scene of wonderfu' giatndeur. The lake is situated it the Rooky Mountains, at an altitud< of 5,000 feet above the level of thi sea. Looking fromt a high peak nea1 this b)dy of water he saw the pano rama t f the most, wonderful regio known to man. For within scope o the c) e frou that point-having thei1 origin in L kko Henry - are thi sources of five of the grandept river on the fae of the globe, born, as I were, in the same little lake, ant drinking all from the same smal apri!ig. Here that Yellerstone snako ond Green river, us well as Clark' Fork, Wind river, Madiion and Gal latItO, sat together, heapirg an< boundaig in great cataracts, and rus.hing in every direction to empty themselves into the Pacific and Atlan tic Oeans. Beyonad a low mountaic to the southeast, the eye falle. upoi the spectacle of the steam ascendin fromt the gasi pipis of purgator (siomaerimes called goysorv), to minghi with clouds. "This," exclaims th correspondlent, in a burst of enthuii astie wonde(lrmecnt, "is the real end o the world."' Stormy Wcather en the Atlantic. A captain of a steamer from Geno thus reports the stornay weather whiel raged in the Atlantic recently 'Af.er leaving Gibraltar the vosse met with fine weather for six days after which it encountered a continua tion of galea from wvest south-west tonorthi north-wesit v'eering every few hours, and accompnanied with squalb of terrific force. Duiing twenty-fiv< years's experience afloat, I never en. countered such weather. In thei equalls the water was actually tori up in shoots and hove in the air. Rain poured in torrents ; the mast hcads were enveloped in clouds ; the lightning fairly* blinded us, and the thunder cracked as if it were amongbt the masts deafening all on board. Never in the tropie or neat the line, ha': e I beon in such close proximity to the lighitnin g. This weather continued, moure or less, up t( the 15th instant, when it graduall3 moderated, enabling us to make somes headway. A Double Deck Railroad Car. A European paper gives the tel lowing c'ncerning a car said to be in use on soime railroad on the continent: It is m,a do to seat 84 pa-sengers, 82 on an upperllor, ons8sea ts; 50 on tha lower floor, on .10 seats ; and-obo seal for two in the upper tier, wlth pl ices for the conductor and the bra ke.

A caretul calculation as to the num ber of human beings addicted to an thiropo1hagy at the present time gives a total of only a fraction inside of two millons, which aotually regre sents the six hundred and ninetteth part of the whole population of the globe.

The agitation of the Llberal move ment throughout the country le.adAs to a consideration of the exact &tutus I occupied at the present time by the Democratic Party, relatively speaking. Som1e have gone so far as to assert that if is politically dead, and buried out of sight. This view of the ease strikes us as rather extrav.agant, and to a con6id erable extent unwarranted. To out own mind, much of its former strength is forever exhausted, and its chances of single-banded supremacy slim 4nd hopeless. As now constitu ted, its availability is limited to "a balance of power" party, and as such alone will its influence he felt. That it is in danger of dissolution, we art obliged to believe, and that its diaao - lution will be accomplished, is a cer tain fact, unless it discards from its counoils many of its would-be foolish and impraticable leaders. Notwithatanding many adverse oir tumstances, it can still remain intact, r and do much good for the country at largo, at the same time acting as a preserver of those great prinpiples which underlie constitutional govern ment, and which can never perish. 1 The Demoorat'c party would be playing into the hands of its bitter. I est enemies by appearing in the po litical old bingly arrayed against the Grant Admilnistriation, and we are -glad to know that its prominent lead ers so fair appreciate this fact as to keep the party for the present -in a Spassive status, watching and waiting quietly for the sIgnal for vigorous ac Stion, not disorganized, nor dishlearted, but simply keenly obsorving the times, and noting when it is the proper me-. ment to strike. A few "old fogy," "fossil," Democrats characterize this policy as an exhibition of cowardice, au werejoice to koow that "old .fogy ism" has played out completely, I hence their denunciations are not Sworth noticing. Progressiveness is 'the order of the day, and it is a prin. ciple worth cultivating. Away, say we, with all abstract theories and im practicable ideas. The Democratic party has no need of them, and we trust It will ihiow its good sense by casting them off entirely, and be no longer embarrassed by themn. The National Demiocratic Execu tive CJommittee has incurred much censure for failing to designate the time and place for holding the Na. tional Convention, but we are inolinA ed to the opinion that It has acted a wisely and ini the interests of the par. ty. It has In effect placed the party in that position in which alone it cant wake its strength felt and feared, and * any other course would have tended a greatly towards jeopardiuing its very li 'life. a The 'Democrats of the whole coun. C I try stand to-day -in solid phalanx, un broken end undIsmayed, viewing si.. i lently the preparations of their allies, r the .Liberal Republicans, for the great conflict before them, determined to make one last final effort to drive from the nation's capital the despotic 1 oppressors ef the people, the publie il robbers of the land, and the misera- I ble syoophants 'who fawn troun4 the, y tyrant's .foot-stool.

Dike, .a member of the Eoglish Parliament,- lately Introduc. ad in that body a resolution of, In juiry joto the" eipenses of mailntain. ing 4oyalty in Elgland,:but it was immediately voted - done, only two membors fUvoring it. That thfit was-. a direot blow at England's systatu , of government is apparent at'fst $lone. . the.reso ution had been adopted, the United Kingdom would-have been' stirred up ,o its lowes doptbs, and in all proba bility, a rvoulution of 'igantio pro. portions would havd been the anal result. While monarchial institutions may be distatoful to ;any of Victoria's ubjeots, and while there maj be a rowiung d.-ire for their total abolIi. ~ion, the ced cannot be accomplished n a day. It mj.at ,be the gradual work or time. The present age is one af change and -progress throughout the civilised world, and this century 3an soaroely hope to see the final tri 1mph of Liberaliujm and Republi.can Ism. Woe must, therefore, believe abat the miovo above aituded to was rooliebly premature. The peace of Lngland must not be threatened at a siwie when her people are so ill pre p .red for radleaal changes. The seed has already sown that, in opr opinion, will ultimnately destroy M~onarehy in Eu~rope, butt the timse is not yet come. A reign of perfect quiet must settle >ver the Old World before its pee ples can fully realize the demands of he times. While in a state of war mnd turmoil, the true sp,irit..of p.ro.

The negro, more.foolish than wise, stood there in the'oentre of the audience. Loud cris of "Put him out ! ut him out I'' were heard on all sides, and hisses filled the air.

Tbe niegro no doubt indignant at such treuatmeat, stood still, saaking his fist, and apparently deterumia.ed to brave the imapending storm. Large numbers of ladles left the theatre, fearful of a riot, which seemed inmevi table did the negro remain in the parquet. No attention was paid to the play. Forrent iost all his attrac tion amid suolh confunso.

The man left the parquet amoid a storm of hisses, cheers, and yells Mayor Warneor appeared on the scene, and with a surprising lack of dicerstion for a lover of peace and order turned the unagro hack and re. buked the policeman. The appear., aance of the colored man, who riow walked .holdly into the centre of the white people, was a aignal for a gen er al uproar in the galleries.
