Our o ymmthy :s the result of commerce, German u ui migration, and because the Germans took u mr bonds and stood with us during ?ur war. q -rance didn't. King William and Bismarck c -??'-?jrilL sent three telegrams of congratulation to us. Not one came from Napoleon, wb?i on the con? trary, was at the; time hitting ns sly dabs lu Mexico. Seward let him hit, because his anny was all the time eating up the beef and tann? ing the hides whioh'otherwlse would have got? ten Into the'rebel'army. In fact, Maximilian was ?-sort.of provision destroyer in Mexico. If-we" go back of the last war, there is no rea? son, why wa-shonldn't sympathize with France. Napoleon sent:.troops and Lafayette came to help us, while Frederick the Great hired out a lot of Hessians.t?'Gre?t Britain. V Correspondent And if yon'go now about AV?* miles fronvPotedam you wlu see ? marble monument, on which -Is-written-ln clumsy German, "sacred t?'the memory of 8000 Ger? man braves, who died heroically In the Ameri? can war." What do you- think of the. capture ol Saarbr?cken,' General? General Granr. Little skirmishes and a re connolssance now and then don't amount to anything. We must, wait for the campaign. Sometimes, in checkers, a man gives away one man,'and by and by takes three. So in war. Theirj Saarbr?cken'don't seem to have been a German -town;- -It was like the rebels first caking Bowling Green, Kentucky, or Little Kock. It rather belonged .to them, but when General Steele retook Little Rock, that was a victory. I think Mayence will bethe Frod erlcksburg of the, war. and, may.be, the Black Forrest will bethe Wilderness'.' At hjasfc I should think that 'modern warfare had demonstrated the fact that lt hi foolish to as? sault a fortified town when you can jost as well march around it, and compel the attacked ?iarty to starve, or come out and..fight yon. ??aeral Hooker and General Burnside both stormed Fredericksbnrg, but I think ir they had lt:to do over again-you would see them march? ing" rFgtit around-to the rear. Mayence, Co blentz and even .Ehrenbreitstein, the Gibral? tar of the Rhine, if managed at all, will have to be managed as Fredericksburg was at last. Yon can't storm Ehrenbreitstein anymore than yon could Vicksburg from the Louisiana flats. You can bombard it, bul when taken it will have to be. starved out. Now, I don't think these French fellows are much oh the etarve-out process; they're too fast, and here Prussia has the inside track. -Correspondent. What will be the probable strategy ol the Prussian army ? ' General -Grant. It will undoubtedly remain strictly on the deiensive.i, Tue Prussians are, now where the Austrians were during the last war. They will find defending themselves against the French far different'from conquer log Austria. The victory of Konigg^alz was won without a Prussian quartermaster's: de? partment, without even a ?base- ofosuppues.' They 6tarted, like General Pope, with head? quarters and hindquarters In the saddle. This strategy ls only , sale with 'victory. - JED would have been as disastrous! with.-King William at Koniggratz as it was'with Gen? eral.Pone at Centreville bad he, met with ^e-. pulse. "The Austrian campaign-was success? ful., but..it would not do for King William to fight ihe French iu this way. He musl stand still-intrench, and the. French must dig him but Or'.work in the . rear. Spades will be trumps again, as at1 Vicksburg. There Is a striking.aualogy between the French and Prus? sian armies and the old Union and rebel armies. Prussia's strategy should be to stand Mil. If she'takes the aggressive, penetrating French territory, the same result will undoubt? ed^ await lier that awaited Lee in Pennsylva? nia. Gell j abin g and Antietam both weakened the rebels inure- than years ol defensive war lare. Konlggraiz will not bc repeated during this war. Correspondent. What will be'the effect of war on.this country 2 . . General Grant, History will repeat itself. Our var raised values, not only here, but all over be world. People couldn't live in Europe af er ode, nor one-half tis cheap as before. The present war will raise values lu Europe. Americans will come home. Iron, -leather and :oal will advance there. Then we can coin >ete with Hiern without a tariff. - The war M ill ?e asolf-impo.Hed high-tariff, imposed on every inicie o? lureifitn importation. This war (anil, tere the Generiil.was enthusiastic) will be the: treatest blessing that could be afforded to Unerlca. It will raise Europe up to an equlllb-. ?uta of prices and ?abor. Our factories will' ;rartagalu. Importations will cease They will io lojurer .be . able to make a coat cheaper in Surope th in in this country. Oiirbreadstuflsund lacon wdl have to Uirnish their quarterma's .er's department Indirectly. Pork will ad? vance, and general farm produce will bring ?orrespondltig high figures if the war lasts, as now tliink.it will. Our bonds will come iome at first, but they will be quickly absorb ;d. They are safe, and foreigners are even j low making large deposits of them in Amer!- j banks. ~ Many are ooming back, but lev/ mani lo realize on them. They make , a sure vvcnuc for them, no matter how the war urns out at liome. "Correspondent.'How about our merchant narine-our shipping ? General Grant: Here we have made a great ulcldul mistake. Before Congress adjourned ve ought to have made arrangements for the mrchaseof foreign vessels. They are in the oarket now at cheap figures, bot we can't my them. The old act of Congress provides oe the building of ships at home, but prohib? ?s I heir purchase of a foreign power. By ,n act ol' Congress, we can't buy a ves el which we once owned but 6old to Ger aany during our war-that ls, we can't change 1er flag. If we buy and sall under Prus lan flags, then France will gobble us up. Our .ar killed our merchant marine. In the nee of the Alabama pirates we Bold out cheap, ilhgland bad no acts of Parliament against mylng, and Bhe possessed herself of our ships .t hali price. Now is the time for us to get ven by buying the ships of France and Pms ia. This ls what I wauted Congress to do. ?ut many of our Congressmen know nothing f shipping; they are farmers and lawyers, nd the Idea did not strike them with -force eibre adjournment. Now they see it. Iget ?tter? every day filled with regrets that we ld not fix this thlngup so as to'build up our merchant marine. It was a great mistake, ir-a great mistake. MEN'S FAVORITES.

There are two kinds ot gentlemen's favorites -the bright womea' wno amuse them, and tbe .sympathetic, ones who love them'. Bat thees last are of a doubtful-what? country Deoplo call a "chancy".' kind; women who show their fee lin ps t DO o neu ly, who fall in love too' seri? ously, or perhaps unasked, altogether, being more likely to irritate an J djeen-it ,?an. te charm. - But, tbe bright, animated women who know bow to talk ana do. not preach, wbo say innocent things in an-audacious:way and au? dacious thiues in an innooent way. who. oro clever wi tbpnt pedantry, frapk without im? pudence,; quick, to ? follow a- lead wheu ehowu them,- apd who know ?be :oaffereqce between badinage anet ?aiaestoess, flirting-.and oerious intenrione-these are tbe women?liked by men,' and whose social success in- no wisa. depends .on their beauty. .

Else sha offends the masculine self-love,' never slow to take tire, and etti a s an element of hardness, and self-assert ion incompatible with -ber character of favorite. Not that men dislike all kinds of self-..ssenioo. Tb? Irrepressible little woman with her-trim waist and jaunty air, pert, pretty, defiant, who' l?ughe "in the lice ot the br.riy policeman who could ci iib: her between-bis fincer-aad thumb, apd to whom ropes and barriers tare .things to be: skipc?d over of dived under, as the case may . be-ehe who is all flounces and self-assertion ' iike a little- bantam, is a-iso moat frequently a pentlemen'd favorite, and enconrupect in ber Faucv forwardness. Then there is tbe grace? ful, fragile, Bwaa-aecked woman, who a gene? ration ago would have been one of the Del a Cfuscau srbool. all poetry and music iud fine feeiiagSj. and of a JeJicscv so refined that na-; taro would have had to be ~ veiled and toned down ti? the subdued kry prop :'r for the. grace ? ful to accept. ^ -.wooays- ehe plunges boldly into tut- midst of th? mosttfemendousrcslisin. : .18 au ardent advocate for woman's nnhts, and ?ierbaps goes out '-on tlie rampape,' OB plat brmaaad tb:: like, to advocate .doctrines as little in harmony with tbo kind-of,' beiqg she. is ss' would bea diet of korseflosh and brandy.

A gentlemen's favorite of the right sort mast, among other things, be well nu iu the aendeuce ot flirting, and Imow kow to take it at exactly its proper value. She must bs able to accsnt oroad compliments, or more subtle love-mikinp, without either too sencu. au i ccpiai.ee oi too ti ave a depreciation. This is a gie it art, and one that.'more than any other,, pu's mea at their case, and set* the machinery pf pleasant intercourse in har? monious action. Never to show whtllior 6he is really bit or not; never to pi ve a fopoca siou Tor a boi.st, or un enemy room for a pity? ing sneer; to take everything iu pood p. rr, aud to bo ?3 quick iu pivmp as in reocivii;!;; to be never.oil' hy puard, never to throw away ber arms, and to conceal a-jy number of foxes tiut may ba gnawing at her'bene-ith ber cloak -thia kind of flirting, iu which most pentie mtnV favorites aie adepts, is an art tua: reaches almost the dimensions of a sciene.--. And it fa jost that in which yonr very intense, your very earnest and ein?eie women arc utter failures. They know notbiup of badinage, but take everything ou ?Trond s?rieux; and when you meau to be simpiy playful und compliment? ary, inoapineyou in tracie earnest, and think themselves*obliged :o frowu down a compli? ment as a liberty, or eke they a cept it with a passionate pleasure that shows how deeply it bas strack. ' These intense and very sincere women are not,, as'.a rule, gentlemen's favorites*, unless-they baye other qna'lties of such a pleasant and seductive kiuu as to excuse thc enormous blunder they make of wearing their hearts on their sleeves for drawing-room daws topeen at, and the still greater blunder of confoundinc lvt-inakmg with love. They may bj, nnd if they have nice manners ana are good-tem :ered they probably are. of the race of popular women; that :B, liked by both men and women; but they are not gentlemen's favori es par excellence, who moreover' ore never liked by women at all. Women are quite right iu one thin?, bard as it seems Jto siy it.. Gentlemen's favoritos, whom women dislike and distrust, are not usu? ally good 'for*mocb morally. They are ofteu false and insincere, superficial, end nosnbl.y with a very low aim in life. And "tbe men know all this, but forgive it tor the salte of tbe pleasantness which is thc graae and charm that obadowB or rather bripbtens, all theres'; baviupoftentimes indeed a half-contemptuous tolerance Of their dins, as not expecting any? thing bett er from them. Grant that they are false, that Kail perilously near tue w.'cd. are shitty and untrustworthy, what of thal ? They ure not favorites because of their goo:1, quali? ties, only bceanse of their pleasant oni's-that i subtle je ne sais quoi of old writeis which stands one in euch good stead when one ts at a loss for an ana'yeiri, and which ia the only term that expresses the et.-nng yet indefinito charin wh-iuli certain women posses for mun. 1 lt is not' boan ty; it is not necessarily clever? ness taVou in tao sense of education, tbonpti i it must be a keecuess if not dopt h of intellect, and smartness if not thc po .ver of reasoning; it certainly is not Goodness; .'- is not always youth, nor yet warmth of feeling-thou; a all these thracs come in ascbaracieristics in their turn; biititisompaoionsuip and tba power of amusing. Still, what is it that croates this power, this companionship? A smart, pert, j flippaut.hitlo minx, as women call ber, with a ? shrill voice and'a saucy sir, may be thc gentle- < men's favorite of one set; a refined, p tao ifni j woman,- epeakinp soft!;. and with ploadiop i eyes, may be the favorite or another; a third ! may be a blnot, off-banded younp person, 1 given to speaking ber mind so that there snail \ be no mistake; a tonrtb may be a silent and . Beamingly a shy woman, food of sittiup ont ' in retired plaoes.and with a'repntation for Air!- . inp of a-quiet kind that sets tho womens fin- < gera tingling. There is no eettlod rulo am how, | and all kinds hive their special sphere cf ubin? ia?, according to circumstances. But what- t ever ih?y may ba, they ire useful in (heir pen- . elation and valuable for such work as they J have to do.

This message says, that on June 21, the Chinese populace at Tientsin murdered not only the priests and Sisters of Charity, but also thc French.Consul, his secretary, two F.enoh merchants and their wives and twti voung Russians. The mob burned the French consulate, thc Roman Catholic Church and til? hospitals of the Sis? ters. The two Russians were probably killed in mistake for Frenchmen, but notwithstand? ing this excuse the Czur will undoubtedly send out an expedition to obtain redress. Although France is now engaged in an extensive war she will also take decided steps, as thu matter ls too serious to be passed over. The Pekin Government will probably be required to make further eussions, by treaty, as Veli as to pay heavy indemnities. "lt is conjectured that thc mob 'was excited by wild reports that the missionaries were stealing and murdering children, in order to make medicines, as 'such rumors have cv.-.sed ?ill tho missionary riots that have roccutly occurred ia China. y O?MMJB?OlUi XJTSWS. .
