Wraps us In mysteries
Where is your triumph You answer

be remembered that, conspicuous among the
causes which precipitated upon Russia the war
Of the Crimea was that famous confidential
conversation of the Emperor Nicholas with
the British Minister at ST. Petersburg on the
''sick man" Of Turkey and that on this occa-
sion the Gear said, in substance, ''We can ar
range this business between ourselves, and
the Emperor of the French need not know
anything about it," 1t will be remembered
that Sir Hamilton Seymour, in reporting this
conversation to his government and the world,
reused the wrath of Napoleon, and that the
armed alliance between England and France
against Russia, in defence of Turkey, speedily
followed. It may be that these conferences
between the Chancellor of Germany and the
Chancellor of Austria at Gastein have now
awakened the wrath Of the Gear; but still the
coalition reported, with the tremendous army
OF Germany as its central power, is equal to
all probable European emergencies, peace or
war, for Germany, Austria and Italy.
