An intelligent and educated German who
knowB both Germany and America well, said
to us on Saturday, "You Americans arc the
4most ferociously warliko people that I hare
"crer known. Look at your public journals;
they contain but little else than intelligence
from the scene Of strife. In your social cir
"cles and in your places Of business, in the
" intervals Of trade, "The War" is the subject
'sor' conversation OF all You have, with
your multitudes Of maps and minute desc1ip-
'uons, mastered tue geography Of all Italy,
land you talk Of Palestro, Montcbcllo, Ware e,
" Magenta and now Of Solferino with as
"much glibncss as the French or even the
' Italians themselves. The news Of another
''grcat battle" throws you into spasms Of
delight; but you spend your nights regret
ting that the loss Of life, when only 10000
''are slain, was not more severe 1t is lucky
% that with your scnsitvcncss and lore Of strife
you are not near tho field; you would, if in
''the place Of England or Prussia, be mixed
up in the fray in a wcek''
Our German friend was not mistaken. The
interest Of. our people in European affairs is
Just now intense. They seize upon every

tlelz desire for progress, be blind to tue won

The Prevention Of Rust In Wheat.

This shakes of the daupncss, aud the wheat
will be efectuaiy prevented from injury by rust.
This preventive vas discovered by experiment

Of natures laws by successful asriculturist of
Sangamou county Illinois, who has tried it each

satisfactory. II may be said by some that
