PRTSSIAN REPORTS.

A SPEECH FROM THE KING-HE PUTS HIS TRUST
IN GOD, THE ARMY, AND THE PEOPLE.
BERLIN, Tuesday, July 10, 1870
Last evening King William made a speech to
great crowd of the people of Berlin who came to
congratulate him. He said he was not responsible
for the war which had inst broken out He might
personally be passive under outrage, but Germany,
even from beyond the seas, had spoken. Sacrifices
were sure. Prussia had been spoiled by her rapid
victories in two wars, and perhaps worse fate
awaited her now. He, however, knew what TO hope
from God, the army, and the people.

The more that animals enjoy the qualities
Of youth, strength aud activity, the greater is
the increase and development Of their parts,
aud the greater the necessity Of an abundant
supply Of food. OF many individuals exposed
to N absolute abstinence Of many days, the
young are always the first to periah. OF this
the history OF war and Hhipwreck Offers in all
ages too many fHghtful o1amplea. There a1e
several instances on record OF an almost total
abstinence from food for IN extraordinary
length Of time Captain Bligh, Of the Bounty,
sailed nearly four Thousand miles in an open

many ounces IN weight, for daily sustenance
Of seventeen people; and it is even alleged
that fourteen men and women Of the Juno
having suffered shipwreck on the coast Of
Arncan, lived tweuty-thsee dAys without anv
food. Two people first died OF want on tho
fifth day. In the opinion Of Rhedi, animals
support want much longer than is generally
believed. A civet cat lived ten dayg without
food, Al antelope twenty, and very large

improvement which has taken place in their
