The Archduke John of Austria has been elected
Governor General OF the GermanIc Confedera-
ton. These words tell whole epoch IN the
chronicles of the world. The page of history for
the last few months has been dyed in hues of the
deepest red, with the eyes of all turned trem-

prostration OF all the arts of peace agriculture,
