Little effort hes been made to conceal the purpose of the visit, which is said to be not only the revival of the triple sill. anus, but, as a result thereof, the isolation of Frame from all possible fillies, in order that Germany may relieve herself from the enormous strain upon her resources caused by the maintenance of her immense Mantl- ing army. At present no lees than 1,050,• 000 men are in actual service in her army, Adding to those the reeerve and land where the number reaches 2 050,000 and besides these there are 1,255,000 able to bear arms and liable to draft. The withdrawal of a million able-bodied men from peaceful per - suite is of itself a serious blow to the Mine - trial development and finauoial proeporiby of the country ; but the evil is intensely aggravaed by the knowledge that two or three millions more are liable at any time to be celled upon to take up arms. Germany, therefore, io anxious to be relieved from the military incubus which is weighing ao heavily upon her.

Germauy does not with to fight France again, but the latter, bent on reoovering her lost territory and thus repairing her damaged honour, appears to be delaying hostilities only in order that she may gather her strength for another desperate straggle She could not, how- ever, undertake such a war without mak- ing an alliance with some other great power, and Russia appears. to be the only one available. It is to the interest of Germany that such an alliance should no placed be. yon. the Unlade of possibility, for in that ease there would be nothing left for France but to dishand or reduce her army ; and the chief mann for the maintenance of the Germany army at its present enormous strength would be removed. This is the purpose of the combination between Ger- many, Rnoeia, and Austria, which the young Emperor will endeavour to arrange during his visite to St. Petersburgend Vienna. The main difficulty in the way is the Eastern (mention, which, although Germany has no direct interest in it, eighb prove a bar to any agreement between Russia and Austria. It is understood thabatthe St. Petersburg meeting the Russian Premier will propose a nom- inal Russian protectorate over Bulgaria and the appointment of a candidate for the throne of that State by an ambassadorial conference at either Vienna or Constanti• nople. Bismarck has intimated that Ger- many would nut object to such an arrange- ment, but the gustation le whether Austria would agree to it. The suggestion is thee her consent should be seoured by oonooding Servia to her, and thus gratifying one of her most cherished ambitions. Should this: prove a000ptable, the combination could easily be formed ; and France being thus ch prevented from forming any mualliance ae she desires, would bo forced to abandon all thought of war for the present and cease her preparations for it. The other powers also would be enabled to lessen their arms menta, and the political atmosphere of Eu- rope would become clearer than it has been for years past. 1t is easy to see, therefore, of what great importanoe is the German Emperor's mieeion to Russia. h Pride, Ss that certain things will produce inaanitn fore he gets out of the train.

She had many delusions, the most peculiar of whroh was that a loocmotive was running at bull speed in her abdomen. She often scream• ad from the pain in her bead. A watch was eat upon her, and a lookout was kept for perniorous habits. Alter the patient had been in the asylum for a week the nurse found maggots creeping on her pillow in the morning. Maggots usually are not much thought of ; they are too vulgar ; but in this case search was made for their abi"ing place, And led to a wonderful discovery, Passes for a Joke.

WHAT STANLEY bur HAVE DONE. Stanley set out fr om Arnselma lesb Juno for the Albert Nyanza. When ho got there he meant to put hie steel whaling boat together and to set out Northwards by water for Wadelal. Now he has turned up in a provinoe some hundreds of miles to the Northward of that place and instead of marching 500 miles be must have marched something like 1000. What has happened? When the bearers of bhe last authentic news from S tanley loft the expedition fire b Augast he was onoamped within eight days' march of the Maleode country, and advancing towards the Western shore of the Atom t Nyanza.

Last Summer Both senb two parties of ten 1nen each to the Albert Nyanza on per• pose to get news of Stanley. They seem to have found none, or Emin would have given it. It looks, therefore, as if Stanley had been obliged to change hia object alto- gether, and had turned Northward from the afaleode country, instead of following the line he had previously taken and pressing on towards the East. What facts are known, therefore, point to 011e general eon - elusion that after pushing Eastwards, or rather East -Northeast, from Yambunga for sohie 200 or 800 miles, Stanley found fur- ther progrose impoesibls along that line, and set his face Northwards.

Further information from Banana receiv- ed tends to confirm the reporb that Shanley is really on his way to Khartoum. Ib also appears that Emin Pasha has left the neigh• borhood of Albert Nyanza and is advancing to meet Stanley. The probability of the euooess of Stanley in relieving Khartoum is regarded with downright jealousy in mili• tary circles In London, especially among offi dal soldiers, Lord Charles Beresford, who book part in the disastrous Nilo expedition, admitted recently the possibility of the White pasha being Stanley, and in giving hie reasons why an undisciplined body, chief- ly composed of natives, should be able to am complloh a feat which proved too much for the Nile expedition, esti I14 must be borne in mind that since that expedition a great Mango has Dome over the state of affairs, Then the whole surround- ing country was fanatically devoted to the Mandi.
