Aspiawaii, of New York, has been buying a tract of eight thousand acres In Vir? ginia. -Trouble is brewing in the German Parliament. The Democrats of that body have resolved to vote against the wai expenditure. They hoM that tn c . war was commenced as a defensive war on the part of Prussia, and was originally a necessity, bnt that now li is waged as a war of conquest against the French Republic. . -A dispatch from Jackson,- Miss.', says: "The grand Jury found a'true bili against E. M. Ycrger for manslaughter, at the last term of thc court, thejudge virtually dictating the finding of the bill; but the Mayor and Aldermen, Radical ap? pointee?, bave . recently tallowjed the claim of Yerger against th* city, which}'was the cause of tho rumen' ty resulting in Crane's death." -The North German Corresnondent of November 25th says that only Etuland, France, and Anstria are pledged by treaty to support the independence and lnt>grlty ?fi^urkey,-Italy and?Prus-da have not, like these powers, guaranteed thc neutrali? zation of the Black ?ea. They are not, therefore, affected by thc q-icstlon whether the steps taken by Russia to put an end to thc neutrality of these waters /rom a casus bein or not. -Dejize-V -ttie ' octogenarian Frenph actress now ju' London, ls playing a little comedietta, .The Marquis de Lnzern," In which she perso? nates five distinct characters-as a stammering pedant, a sporting cavalier, a timid youth, and a dissipated baron. ; This popular French actress displays the qualities that'bave made her famous, and sings with more than youthful grace and de" llcacy. -The New York Sunday Mercury suggests among the probable works In Grant's library: ? Green on gift enterprises and gambling "Thomas Jefferson on the appointment of rila tlvea.to office;'! "History of the gold pool of New York, Illustrated With -portraits or A. R. Corbin, Generaf Butterfield, and others;"' 'The abandoned canine, or thc dog that was refused on account or freight.'' -That the Germains expect to spend -Christmas in or near Parls. is shown by the postofficc notice Issued at Berlin. It states that, In order t J effect the dispatch of Christmas presents totheiroops lu France, thc held post parcel service will be main? tained in ita present extent till the evening of the 8th of December, when- the reception of parcels will beeuspended, amt th.- publlo-arewarnbd that under present circumstances the transit may oe enpy a fornlght, <4>r in some cosos even three or fonr weeks. -It ls reported that President Giant and Adm! ral Porter have been reconciled, and i hat General Sherman has been acting as peacemaker. It ls argued by Admiral Porter's friends that as Gene ral ' Sherman waa promoted be for o the rank, of general of-the army was abouahed, SO Admiral Porter should bc allowed to succeed to the office ' made vacant by the death of Farragut, before ac? tion la taken on General Logan's joint resolution, - Muon curiosity has been evinced lu regard to the ' original manuscript of Porter's letter to Welles. It is now on file in the Navy Department, but lt ls asserted that lt has been recently put there. It ls marked "private." -The English Journals are exhibiting great alarm In consequence of a report that the Rus alana have already fifi j iron-olad monitory;draw? ing- umjler; eighteen feet or Water at Nlkolalen*. This to^;8lgniflcaniiyycalled. tbe "pWtsmout .?sf. of Russia, is situated on the ffver Dnieper/ Which flows into the Bla-ik Sea through the basin called Dnieper Liman. It ls stated that for some y ears back every difficulty has been thrown in the way of foreigners desiring to visit Nlkolaleff, and that Russia has refused permission to have any Eng? lish naval officers attached to the British embassy at St. Petersburg. It is reported that the forts of Kertch and Venlkale, at thc entrance or the Sea of Azof, luve been fortlued in such a mau 1er as to be thoroughly Impregnable. -A London letter to the New York World gives the following items of personal gossip: "The Bishop of Brechin-the Rt. Rev. Alexander Fon rose Forbes, second son of the late Lord Med win, and Bishop of the Episcopalian church in Scot? land-has resolved to vacate his See, and to re? tire tor the remainder or hi? days 'into a religi? ous house.' His Reverence lt Ls said, has be? come Impressed with the belier that the orders of the Episcopalian Church arc invalid, and that he ia not in truth a priest. ?Thc religious house' into which he is about to retire is understood to be a Roman Catholic monastery near (ii asgow, which the bishop will enter as a lay brother. A marriage ls about to be celebrated between the Duke of Norfolk and Marguerite, Princess of Or? leans. Thu-* the representative of the oldest Ro? man Catholic family tn the British peerage ls to be allied to the daughter of a house famed, above au, for its platy. It has been "decided (between Lord Granville and Archbishop Manning) with the approbation of the Queen, to appoint. Lord Howard, of Glossop, uncle of the Duke of Norfolk, as the- English representative at the European Congress regarding .he Romnn^-questlon." -A-New Y?rk letter says: "By no class is the approach or winter dreaded more than by the poor girls of this city. .This class numbers at least thirty thousand, and Includes sime very Worthy characters. Indeed, there are frequent I V Instances 'of - familiesreduced from wealth to poverty, and dependent on the earnings of an in? dustrious daughter who teaches or serves In a store, and thus keeps her aged parents from the streets.- The autumn now Just closing has been a very dull season, and most branches of employ, ment have been diminished. Cia flin & Co., who usually employ large n umbers of girls tn their cloak department, discharged mos- of them early In the season. The stamping ?";iabllshmcnt3, whose imitation of embroidery lias been so very popular, have also discharged large numbers. The book trade has been very slack, and hun? dreds, if not thousands, of book-routers and paper stitchers have been idle. The perrumcry business ls greatly reduced, and even dressmak? ing, which improves as winter fashions prevail, ls unusually dull. Thc highest price paid for women's wages is five dollars per week; that is, on an average. A very capable hand in some shops can make seven dollars, but there are few that reach that figure. The cheapest rate of boaid ls three dollars and a hair, and the reader can form an idea of the chance these girls have of saving anything." -Balloon ?otters from Paris give not very ap? petizing pictures of the bill of fare dally spread before the Inmates or that devoted city. Rats are a prlcclpal staple, theugh cats are received with much favor. The ronner arc caught In the sewers by means or jars or glucose syrup, and sell in the markets for fifteen cents each. CatB brihg sixty cents, with quotations tending up? ward. Tlie citizens have overcome their preju? dices sufficiently to boldly order "rat salmi" In the restaurants. A correspondent seeing roast sucking pig on a rest?arant bill or fare eagerly ordered a plate, but cicely questioning the waiter elicited the fact that it was a guinea-pig. Turkeys sell for ?16, rabbits ss, and fowls $3. Eggs are ?ftren cents each, and butter ls as much of a curiosity as a black swan. The llamas, yaks, wild boars, buffaloes and swans of thc Jardin des Plantes are already eaten, and one gentleman's fountain was robbed by night or Its goldfish. A good deal or currant, raspberry and other jelly ls seid, but ls made mostly rrom horses' anil beeves' hooN and bones, flavored. A serions battle oe curred at one of the markets on an advance to ninety cents a -pound or horse sausage and to seventy cents or horse blood-puddings. The in farlated buyers seized the sausages and belabored the sellers over the head with them. Seven hun? dred people have gone crazy rrom hunger and abuse or liquor, and the Radicals loathe fat people. _ Thc Financial Outlook. The New York Ti'ibune, which leans to the cheerful side in discussing-financial gestions, suggests that if the Franco-Ger nan war last much longer, almost every government in Europe will come into the Tiarket as a'borrower at high rates of inter? est. Thi3 would, at once, bring the new oans iuto active competition with American government and railroad securities. On the )ther hand, when the war ends, be it sooner jr later, France and Germany will immedi itely absorb an immense volume of capital. Hundreds of millions will bc required in France alone for building roads and bridges, md for repairing, in general, the losses of var. ' The very first effect, then, of the ces ?alion of hostilities will bc a call for the capital which during the war has been sent ,o London on deposit, or bas been allured ;o thc United States by the high rates of in ercsi which rule on this side of the Atlantic, another highly unfavorable element in the calculation is the adverse course o? our for ?ign trade. From July 1st to the latest dates he imports of merchandise at New York ire 516,200,000 higher than for the same jeriod of last year, while the exports of pro luce are SS, 300,000 lower. Nor do the cot .on exports help to onset thi3 increased lebt, lt is true that the quantity of cotton ?xported exceeds that or last year, having reached since September 1, 629,371 bales, aguinst 403,918 bales in 1869; but this in? crease in the shipments is fully set oil by the Jecrease in the price. It is another impor? tant feature in the exchanges, that for some months past the amount of se? curities sent to Europo has been quite QOmiual compared with the export for the same period of last year. Then, again, :he amount of gold actually on the mar ??t ia very light. The associated banks 3f New York, bu the 3d instant, held only 517,100,000, ugaiust 530,600,000 at the same Lime in 1S09. The requirements for export ind for the payment of custom duties are likely to reduce the supply materially during Hie month. It is evident, therefore, that, as Europe calls Tor the capital now lying at our disposal, ind requires tho payment of the balances Jue upon the foreign trade, the stringency n the American market will increase. Europe, moreover, holds $1.500,000,000 of Jutted States promises-to-pay of all kinds, ind if a demured for capital, or appreben ?ions of loug continued trouble, cause any considerable quantity of them to bc precipi :ated upon our market, the effect must be serious in the extreme. Putting this and .hat together, it is most likely that a pro? traction of tho war will embarrass the Amer can market, while the advent of peace will certainly make gold high and money dear. Stamped Oat. Tiie revenue reformers, in thc United States [louse of Representatives, introduced a reso ution on Monday which will meet with the cordial approval of the people of every State )f the Union. That resolution requires the epeal, at the earliest practicable moment, >f all stamps and internal revenue taxes; an excise duty on tobacco, spirits and malt iquors being retained, so long as the legi t?? ?ate expenses of the government requin he collection of any sum from internal axes. The multitudinous stamps of the internal evenu? system have been a worry and vex itiou to the American lieges these many ears. Whether the article in request was a nachine-m?de shoe, a box of matches or a lottie of hair-oil, the inevitable stamp carne n, harassing buyer and seller to the verge ?f mild-mannered lunacy. The engraving ind printing of the stamps exercised the iad taste and ingenuity of a cohort of work? men, and the enforcement of the law gave ongenial work to an array of spies and tell ales; but the profit to the government was lever in proportion lo the annoyance and rritution which a thousand tormenting for naliiies caused to the whole people. A leaf nay fairly be taken out of the good books of me or the monarchical countries which we nost abuse. We can afford to dispense vith all stamps except those upon deeds, iromissory notes, receipts for money exceed ng a fixed amount and their like. A whiskey ax, a beer tax and a tobacco tax may be etained for the present. Beyond these we annot comfortably go, and from all the rest re pray that Congress may deliver us. At sast, that President Grant may know the leginning of {the meaning of these two .otent words-Revenue Reform. Tbe New Fae for Bable?. "Why a little pog-noB?d,' red-faced, bandy? legged, microscopic edition of Father Adam is, according to the most reliable figures, permitted to be born into this mundane sphere, at the rate of one per second; why tho chief accomplishment with whick the diminutive he, she, or it, is immediately en? dowed, consists of an insane desire to cele? brate the most alarming stomach-aches .with vocal chords that drive men mad, catch the measles, break forth in rash, ?nd run the entire gauntlet of infantile diseases without regard to squills or consequences; why, in later months, you havo upon your hands a youug Arab who subsists on dirt pies, adores squirt guns, and gets up small gunpowder plots in its father's shaving cup-the incar? nation of a young steam engine in breeches these are riddles which have remained un? solved from time immemorial, until this year of our Lord, 1870. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, of Boston, who is evidently one of the most transcendently prolific of her sex-in sug? gestions-lays down the broad platform that babies are bern for the ballot, and de? serve representation a3 much as any other human corporosity, in whose behalf philan? thropists are to-day at war. In other words, that the mothers of the nation are entitled to carry to the polls the contents of every cradle in the house, and vote according to ?the numerical strength of her family census. The theme is calculated to touch any but spinster's heart. Mrs. Howe has struck the key-note of domestic felicity, and laid the foundation for a sublime step forward, in which children in short clothes will lead the procession of the newly enfranchised mass to? wards a millennium of universal liberty. By all means, then, bring out the babies. Mul? tiply and increase. Let everybody paddle his own canoe. Give the picaninnies a Chance. Let infant digits clutch the ballot that will abolish their present degrading de? pendence on tyrannical mothers and cruel nurses; annihilate doctors and doctor stuff; make holidays a diurnal iBStitution, and soothing syrup supreme.
