solve the food and make it into chyme, the

Count Bismarck upon the Future Ofthe
fea YOIes 9vu5g

Count Bismarck in repudiating
in the Parliament of Northern
Germany the professions of the
Polish Deputies, expressed himself as
follows: "The establishment of the
Polish Republic on the limits of 1772 is
only fantastical dream of the nobility
of that country. The thing is impos-
sible, for there are not Poles enough in
the world to. accomplish it. Among
the twenty four millions of inhabitants
of that territory there are only IL of
Poles, and of that number one million
are dispersed in various countries. They
therefore demand that 6 IL millions of
their countrymen should rule over
18, 900, 600 of inhabitants, non-Polish.
But the state of affairs in Gallicia
shows the sort of feeling entertained
by the latter toward the Polish doEina-
ton Nor is it even Certain that the
6. 800, 600 desire the supremacy in ques-
ton. 4 have no desire to- extol the
rule of Russia laughter, but, the peo-'
pie of the country districts In Poland
have still more confidence n.the7 Rus
SLAMS than In their own nobility. Re-
nounce, therefore, gentlemen deputies
from Poland, the idea of Keeping Eu
rope In commotion, for you are decelv-
ing yourselves as to your own strength.
Unite with us, and with tn" majority
of your fellow-countrymen, the peas
ants, to enjoy the benefits of civiliza-
ton, to which the confederation of the
North is about to give fresh securities.
But to the Reichstag hold up the ex-
ample of the Poles as a warning; show
ing the condition to which powerful
empire may be reduced when directed
by wsrhke nobility is at this day in
sufficient to re-establish that empire.
AS the poet says, "What thou hast at
one moment refused, eternity will not
bring thee back. {" q 91uls

WINTER WHEAT. winter wheat
in this region has fresh and vigorous
appearance-at least so we are told by
those who have examined it. Hardly a
field looks as though it had been dam
aged in the slightest degree by freezing,
thawing, and exposure to the winds.
La the southern portions of Jefferson
county, much more of this variety of
grain has been sown than in the nor
them part. On the whole, the past
winter has been quite favorable to this
crop, and probably farmers would have
done wei if they had put more in the
ground, as it is now likely to turn ont
well this year Waterlowa Democrat.
