Thet German Bund having, at Herr von
Bismarak's instigation, resolved to inwele
the Elbe duchies in support of the claims
of the Dune of .A.uguetenburg, Anetrie
Prussia and Saxony were intrusted with
tins execution of the task; and a war
broke out in 1864 with Denmark, result-
ing in the loss to her of the dimities of
Schleswigelloistein and Lauenberg. In-
stead of giving them up to the Duett,
Bismarek determined if pussible to annex
them to Prussia. The Austrian and
Saxon troops were recalled, and the
quarrel eventually led (in 186(i) to a war
between Prueela and Austria. who WaS
Joined by Bavaria, Hanover, Hesse-
Caseel, Ilesse-Darmstadt and Nassau.
The arms of Prussia were victorious;
Austria suffered a crushing defeat at
Sadosva (Konigetratz), in Bohemia. Han-
over and the South German States were
likewise vanquished; and the war, which
was over in seven weeks, led to the
treaty of Nikolsburg, by whiell Austria
was permanently excluded from the Ger-
man Bund, and Hanover, Nassau, Hesse -
Cassel and Frankfort, as well as Schles-
wig-Holstein and Lauenburg, were an
flexed to Prussia.
The North German Confederation, with
Prussia at its head, was established in
place of the old Bund, while with the
South German States an offensive and
defensive alliance was concluded, giving
the X4ng of Prussia supreme command
of all their troops in time of war. Of the
North German Band Comae von Bis-
marck was created Chancellor and Presi-
dent of the Federal Council.
In addition to these successes, in con-
sideration of which the Prussian Rouse
of Deputies passed a bill of indemnity,
forgiving bis former breaohes of the con-
stitution, Count von 131smarck obtained
great popularity for creatine a representa-
tive branch of the new Federal Govern-
ment, on the basis of manhood suffrage.
• Napoleon III. jealous of the growing
power of Prussia, attempted to obtatn
some compensation for France by the an-
nexation of the Grand Duchy of Luxem-
bourg, wisioh B:olland badomnsented to
cede to him. But in this scheme the
'French Emperor was thwarted, chiefly by
the energetic attitude of Bismarck; and
in the end the duchy was declared
neutral territory, and the fortifications
of the capital were demolished,
Great as were the events through which
Bismarck bad conducted Germany, he
was destined to lead her sbortly through
greater events still; notably by the defeat
of the French in 1370, the dispute grow-
ing out of the offer of the Grown of
Spain to Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern.
The Xing of Prussia, as the head of the
family, had consented to the aeoeptance
of the honor afterwards revoked. After a
campaign oonsisting of an .unbroken
series of victories, largely due to the
strategic genius of Count von Moltke,
Xing William was able, through hie
Chancellor, to dictate terms of peace to
his helpless assailant.
Of the events in Prinoe Bismareles life
subsequent to the Franco-German war,
it may be mentioned that he presided at
the Congress of Berlin (1878), the Berlin
Conference (1.$80), and the Congo or
Colonial Conference (1884). In bis
.domestic legislation Prince, Bismaeck has
been far lest fortunate , than in bis
diplotnatio negotiations. In his econ-
omical policy, after beginning as a Free
Trader, be became a Proteetionist. He
first largely reduced the customs tariff,
and ten years later imposed heavier
duties then ever. Willie he thus alieeated
tha Liberals, his Nay Laws, interfering
to an unwise extent with the religious
liberty of the Catholic priesthood, led to a
long and bitter struggle with the Roman

the distinguished editor of the Temps,
took a similar course, saying it is "re-
pugnant to wear a decoration which still
ornaments the breast of a man like Ester -

that of a great writer, simply because he
demands that the most elementary prin-
ciples of the law and justice be re-

ing among and around them, keenly Alert to
every movement, guiding, leading and
driving each neck just where it is to go,
without tionfneion or intermixture. The
collie is not only a useful and valuable
helper, but is also moat affectionate to its
xnaster, while ineetmg the advances of
strangers vrith suspicious indifference.
There is really a sort of instinctive nobil-
ity and dignity in the nature of a collie
which leads it to expect kindness in return
for its intelligent work and devoted attach: -
incur. & harsh angry word seems to hurt
it, as it buffet would a less sensitive dog,
and, if actually struck a cruel blow, one of
them will go around for days with a grieved
and dejected air. A collie -which was
owned on a Colorado ranch, always met
ite master with exuberant demonstrations
of joyful welcome, on bis return from oc-
casional visits to the nearest settlement,
But if he showed evidence of intoxication,
the dog was quick to recognize the feet,
and its whole aspect changed instantly.
With it look of chagrin if not reproach, to
its disguised master, it would slink off
until the following morning.
In form, color, markings, and general ap-
pearance, the collie is a comely dog. The size
may be called medium, a typical specimen
standing a little less than two feet high at
the shoulders. The entire form is firm,
niusoular and well -knit with no superfluous
flesh. The head is long, wide between the
ears, and tapering downward to the point-
ed muzzle. The dark, rather close -set eyes
are bright, keen and watchful, the ears
small, thin and. drooping backward, save
when.pricked up in moments of excitement.
The general expression of the countenauce
is kindly, intelligent and alert. The hair
upon most of the body, is long, straight
and somewhat harsh on the outside, while
beneath is a close, fine under -coat. A. striking
feature is the thick niane which extends
from the top of the shoulders around the
neck to the breast, where it meets the frill,
which, especially if it is white, has a sort
of doggish resemblance to the ruffled shirt-
fronts which our grandfathers wore when
in full dress. The fore -legs are straight
and firna, covered with close, short
hair in front, and feathered behind
from the elbows to the feet. The hind
legs are very muscular in the thighs,
with well bent stifles, and feathered behind
as low as the hmilt.s, which are well let
down. The tan is in its general appearance
a marked characteristic of the breed. Long,
and fully feathered, it is carried low to
within a few inches of the end, which
curls gracefully upward. It would be dif-
ficult to make in six lines a more life -like
picture of a dog, than Burns gives of his
own collie, Leath;
"His honest, sonsie, bawsnn face

In the matter of color there is a great va-
riety. A. very popular eombination isblack
with white mnrkins and very pale tan
points. There has at tiilleElbeen quite a fancy
for blaok-and-tan collies -pure black, with
points of dark reddish tau. Such dogs are not
pure-lared, the dark- tan indicating a cross
of the Gordon setter. They are very hand-
some as pets, but lack the essential charac-
teristics of the collie for practical useful
-
nese, Various shades of sable, orange and
gray are common colors of pare -bred colliee.
The young 001E0 learns very quickly if treat-
ed with invariable kindness, patience and
tact It is essential, however, that one
person, only, shall be the trainer, and that
no other attempt to give orders or .pay
much attention to the pup, while it is m
training. The natural sagacity of the alai.

A Point to Remember.
Many people forget the fact that plants
do not eat, but driuk. They can only ap-
propriate the fertilizing elements in any
plant food while it is in a liquid or dis-
solved state. Thus it is seen not only are
the liquid excrements lost by passing down
through the stable floors, as they do in
many cases, but the rains still farther rob
the value of the solid portion by washing
away the more soluble portions.
How it is Done.
Cattle at shows are often seen with horns
polished bright and smooth as a pane of
glass, and it is a cause for wonder how it
was done. The usual mode of polishing
horns is to take off the rough parts with a
flat file, then rub smooth with sandpaper,
a coarse quality at first, followed by that
which is finer. Neatsfoot oil is then rubbed
in briskly.
Climate ancl Sheep.
Climate, it is said, changes the nature of
a sheep's fleeoe. An example of this is
taking place in Australia. The fleeces of
the strains of English sheep taken into
that country are said to be getting mach
lighter owing to the fad that a b.eavyfieece
is not necessary under a warm sky.
Row It Can las Inade to Pay.
The manurial product in stock growing
should pay every expense except that for
food, and will etutily do this, and more, if
properly handled. Being thus free from
expense for labor, care and housing, theses
should not be muoh difficulty in making
an animal pay forits food.

BLANCO THE GREAT.
Sagasta (Loct.)-
Anoteer day has flown, and still no rest.
From east and west rumor with trumpet
tongue
Assails the ear with tales of victory,
But 1, who know too little and. too much,
Tao well can weigh this solace of the wind.
Day by day more like to him I seem who holds
The grim wolf by the ears, or who, with dee- '
petrol° grasp,
Maintains upon the caudal of the bear precast-
ous tenure -
Destruction to hold en; equal destruction te

(Enter the shade of Blanco, riding on the
' ghost of the Matanzas mule.)
Blanco (cheerfully )-
Illustrious chief! What shade of care darkens
that brow so wont to beam?
What's up?
Sag. -
Nothing is up. All's down.
Blanco -
How so? Are we not winning merrily? !rave
I not proved. the pen is mightier than the
sword?
Pass me yon weapon, and at the word.
Our foes shall perish. 'Tis but the spilling of
drop of ink,
And lo, stark on the field a thousand Yanks lie
cold!
Another drop. Behold, their boasted guns mil
blasted gunners,
Where are they now? Ask of the winds, ate.
Thou tirest me with thy folly. This will nos
go.
We've worked that line to death. Can you
suggest naught better?
Blanco -
Better! Is it naught
To mount the pedestal of fame and sad
With Ananias and Munchausen? Both nien of •

While you sit moping here :mark how I rise su-
perior to fate ana foots.
Observe my Pegsgus, whose pendent eari
Betray his generous blood. On hiMIESOAT vic-

Let cannon roar! Send on the troops!
Hammer our ships to pieces, blow our flirts
To kingdom come. I Rill unconquered still,
and in the murk
And general eclipse but shine more brightly.
Thus from despair de I extract njgrit,
And from destruction gain such Inn at may be.
Do thou but follow -
But hark! What sound is that? Another fort
gone skyward? I must hence and write
it up.
Farewell!
(Blanco and mule disappear.)
