from the wells, is emptied into long wooden
troughs, and is of a dark greenish color n
of the consistency of thick molasses. AT
this season of the year Jumps of ice are
mixed with it, and to prevent these clog

seuuently to pass, the oil is strained into a

viewed to other tanks for storage, and from
thence TO the till-house to be boiled.

Thanks to the arbitration Of the Emperor
of the French this second branch of the
claim was reduced to 100, 0QQ, 000f I; so
that the total sum with which Sardinia
was charged under both heads was set
tied by the treaty ofZurich at 250,000, 000f.
In the negotiations which are taking
place relatively TO Venetia the determin-
alton of the amount Of the debt has been
left to the Interior deliberations of the
Plenipotentiaries assembled at Vienna;
but, considering all the circumstances
it seems to us that the definilive sum
cannot be less than 200, 900, 00oE"

STUTTGART, Aug. 90.
The text of the Treaty of Peace con-
GUIDED between Prussia and Wurtembesg
is as follows -
"Their Mojeslies the King of Wurtem-
berg and the King of Prussia, actuated
by the desire of securing to their sub
jects the blessings of peace, have deter
mined to come to an agreement as 10 the
clauses of a Treaty of Peace to he CON
cluded between them. For this purpose
their Maiesties have appointed as pleni-
potentiaries-The King Of Wurtemberg,
his Minister for Foreign Affairs, Baron
Karl Won Varnbuler, Grand Cross, &C.;
and his War Minister, Lieutenant General
Oscar Won Hardegg, Grand Cross, &C.;
aud the King Of Prussia, his President
Of the Council and Minister for Foreign
Aff,irs, Count Otto Won Bismark-Sch6n-
hansen, Knight of the Black Eagle, &C.,
and bis Privy Councillor, Chamberlain,
and Ambassador Karl FREDERICK Won
Savigny, Grand Cross, &c. These plen-
ipotontiariee having exchanged powers
and found them sufficient have agreed
upon the following clauses =
"1. Peace and friendship shall hence
forth subsist forever between His Males
ty the King Of Wurtemberg and His
Majesty the King of Prussia, their heirs
and successors, their States and subjects
SO. His Majesty the King of Wurtem-
berg engages to pay His Majesty the
King of Prussia the sum of 5000, 000h.
within two months, towards covering
part of the costs incurred by Prussia in
the war. BY payment Of this sum the
King of Wurtemberg fulfls the compen-
sation obligations undertaken by him in
paragraphs 9 and 10 of the armistice
convention, signed August /, 1866, at
Eisingen at Wurtzburg.
50. AS pledge for the payment of this
sum the King Of Wurtemberg will depo-
sit 81 and 4 per cent. Wurtemberg State
Bonds TO the amount of the sum to be
guaranteed. The bonds to be deposited
will be calculated at the quotations of
the day, and the guarantee sum will be
increased by 10 per cent. accordingly.
so. His Majesty the King Of Wurtem-
berg retains the right of paying the
aforementioned compensation in part,
or wholly, at an earlier date, at a dis
count of S per cent. per annum.
SIS. Immediately after the guarantee
being given, in accordance with Article
8, Or after payment of the war eontribu-
ton has been made, the King of Prussia
will withdraw his troops from WGrtem-
berg territory. The p~rovisionment of
the troops during their withdrawal shall
be according to the hitherto existing
Federal dietary scale.
'6. The apportionment of Federal
property belonging to The former Ger
manic Confederation is reserved for Q
special agreement.

YOU KISSED ME.

You kissed me! my head dropped low on
your breast,
With feeling of shelter and infinite rest,
While the holy emotions my tongue dared
not speak
Flashed like flame from my heart to my
cheek
Your arms held me fast-oh! your arms were
so bold.
Heart responded to heart in that passionate
hold,
Your glances seemed drawing my soul thro'
my eyes,
As the sun draws the mist from the earth to
the skies,
And your lips clung to mine till prayed in
my bliss
That they mightneveI unclasp from that rap
turous kiss.
You kissed me! my heart and my breath and
my will,
In delirious joy, for the moment stood still !;
Life had for me then no temptations or charms
No vista of pleasure outside of your arms.
And were l an angel this instant possessed
Of the glory and peace that are given the
blest,
1 would throw my white robes repiningly
down,
And take from my forehead its beautiful
crown,
To nestle once more in that haven of rest,
With your lips on mine and my head on your
breast.
You kissed me! my soul, in bliss so divine,
Reeled and swooned like a foolish man
drunken with wine,
And thought 'twere delicious to die then,
if death
Came while my lips were moist with your
breath,
'Twere delicious to die if my heart might
grow cold
While your arms held me fast in that pas
sionate hold
And these are the questions I ask day and
night
Must my lips taste but once such rapturous
delight
Would you care if your heart were my shell
ter as them
And if you were here would you kiss me
again.

Has THE THING LIT.-A gawky
backwoods boy was once at depot on
one of the Georgia railroads, and was,
of course, deeply interested in gazing,
for the first time at the 'fxins.'
Finally he got inside of car, and
while indulging his unbounded curiosity
the whistle screamed, the bell rang, and
the steam horse began to surge at the
rate of 2:40.
ooh, Lordy," shouted the boy, "stop
it, l amt gwine." Bursting forward,
he opened the door and jumped out on
the platform.
Just then the train was crossing a
deep and cadaverous looking gorge on
trestle work, and seeing the earth and
tree tops beneath him, he tainted and
fell. Directly he came too, and looking
up at the conductor who stood near him
ne exclaimed with deep sigh-"Oh,
Lordy, stranger, has the the thing

FAST HoRsEs.-John Mitchell, in a
letter to the New York Neaos, gives the
following horse news:
"In the matter of horses France is
decidedly taking the lead of England.
There are no such splendid carriage
horses to be seen anywhere as in Paris,
and for cavalry remounts and animals to
be used in draught this country is now
independent of all others, though not
many years ago France was large pur-
chaser of horses both in Germany and
England. This is due, in great meas
ure to the excellent administration of
the haras, great stallion establishments
carefully maintained in all the depart
ments. There is, also, independent of
the Government, a ,Societe Hippique, to
encourage the breeding of superior
draught and farm horses by means of
prizes of a sufficient amount to be an in
ducement to stock raisers. As for race
horses Gladiateur beats everything on
the habitable globe. There is no horse
in England that has the least chance
with him, and he was brought over from
that country to run for-or rather to
win, of course,-the splendid cup worth
10000 francs, together with 10000
francs in money, at the race of Sunday
last, in the Bois de Boulogne. Two
horses started with him, but he won at
a canter. Gladiateur is now established
as public character, and favorite of
the Partisan world"
