HISTORY'S RETRIBUTION.

Jecker, the "banker, who was one of the hostages murdered by the Commune savages during the assault on. Paris, was the man' whose Mexican -claims Napoleon made one of his excuses for invading Mexico. Retribution for that great crime has singularly overtaken its authors and main instruments. Spain engaged in it. with. General -Prim as' her leader. Spain has since been revolutionised, and General Prim assassinated. The sad fate of Maximilian and Carlotta the world is familiar with. Austria upheld it, and Austria has been terriblypunished.- One of its excuses was the revival* of tho power of the Jesuits, and the firm establishment of the Catholic religion, on this continent. The Pope favoured it, and his power began to wane then, and is now in ruins. Napoleon may date the beginning of his fall from that ill-starred expedition. Every French general engaged in Mexico, yet living, has siuce been beaten on the battle field, and disgraced in the opinion of his own couutrytneu. And now Jecker has died by the hand of violence. The British statesmen that excused it are either dead or out of power. The retribution of history is stranger, oftentimes, than so called poetic justice. — "'Detroit Post."
