"Mr Chief Railroad Engineer Schulz :" or Mrs
| Lieutenant General Fritz" To compensate In
some measure, for the loss of these high sounding
titles, some members of the Assembly have re-
ceived very appropriate nlcknames; the leader of
the radicals is known the " Genius of Truth -
and, to be honest about the matter, there Is a
| pretty good proportion of rather queer geniuses
among the company but the very queerest is,

and thence his significant title. On the first entrance
OF the Archduke John into the Assembly, the men,
bers, with one exception, were attired in black this
exception was the Canary Bird, who remained true
to his color and stood forth bold relief among his
black associates Many heads had been put to-
gether and Jokes cracked as to the true version of
| this yellow story, and the general conclusion was
that his constituents were obliged to give HIM an
outfit IN the shape of a SUIT of clothes and found
nan.ieen the cheapest and most likely TO keep him
cool during the summer session The second
version and now most generally received, is, that

toned to give the sovereign people In the galleries
a sign, when 1t Is necessary for them to shout and
yell, found it advisable to have some promnent
signa-elver, not calculated to confuse or mislead.
The National CanaryI}lrd has therefore been raised
20 the dlgntles of office, and twtching of his
head IS always followed by tremendous shout
from the galleries as putting the seal of appreciation
on all that is uttered by "people's man." Virs

Mos. The new State assemblies have plentiful
sprnk ling OF peasants among them, who have a
sovereign contempt for the arts of reading and wri-
ting. The minister Of finances in Berlin gives soirfes
once week, to which all the deputies are invited,
and he is said to be extremely attentive to the D, l.
SAINTS, endeavoring to initiate them into the mys-
enes of society and the duties OF theirnew sphere
At late SOire', one OF them approached the min s.
ter, in the early part OF the evening, and beg ged to
know, with very serious air, the name of those
capital cakes he had eaten at the last visit al do
not know" replied the minister. "perhaps you
mean the gOoseberry tarts." "GoOseberry tarts,
eh well, they were glorious; Just let's have some
more the next time, and we'll always vote yes''
This was no small consolation to a minister of
finances was strongly reminded, few days
where, as he naively expresses 1t, there
plenty of streets, but no houses. "Nous auons DIES
rnes, nlais nous at arons pas de n,aisons."
The Germans are in about the same quandary
about their navy they have flags already, but no
ships The Assembly has just resolved that the
naval flag shall be black, red, golden tr-color,
double eagle. Said eagle, having two heads, will.

weeks, trlgste, a corvette, and three steamers,
of more than 200 horse power each, will be ready.
Gun-boats are being constructed in nearly every
German port of the Baltic, and the first one was
launched at Kiel, few days ago, with great cere-
mOny and rejoicing. Contributions for the navy
are coming in from all quarters-alI the cities and
villages are sending their quota Schools, churches
and singing societies are making collections, and
even penny collections are being taken up every

idea NAV be given of the bitter enmty existing,
between Hungary and her subordinate nations, by
the following from Pennsylvania The people OF
this country have circulated thousands of copies Of

Father. who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy
name" What does this mean Why, simply,
that the name of God is SO holy that six mil
lions Of Hungarian curses cannot desecrate it;
! six millions OF Hungarian robbers and muir
derers cannot injure hair in the head OF
his people. ''Thy kingdom come" Does THAI
mean the kingdom. Of the Hungarians, with their
false priests, ofiice-holders and soldiers with
tnctlon of the press, tyranny, and bondage! "But
deliver us from evll:"-that 49, God deliver us from
Hungarian bloodhounds, Hungarian taxes bank
notes and thieves. The effect of this appeal to
an ignorant peasantry may be imagined.
