belong to Sohleswig, but was taken
forcibly from Denmark, in 1907, by Eng

to Great Britain by the treaty Of Kiel,
1914, the parties to that treaty being

goland is Of little value to Great Britain
except for its naval position, as it brings
no revenues to the Imperial treasury.
and the whole trade with the mother
country is less than 81, 600 year. The
cry in Germany is for 'srestoration" OF
tue island, but it's history shows that it
was never part OF Germany. Great
Britain was the first spoiler OF Denmark,
and took barren rock aud littlo sandy
plain. Prussia came afterwards, and,
having seized province, lays claim to
that which formerly belonged to the pro-
vince. Certainly there can bc no justifi-
cation Of the manner in which Great
Britain became possessed of it, but il
she is accountable to any country for the
occupation, which has been confirmed
by treaty, it is to Denmark, and by no
means to Germany. The significance OF
the demand is not to be denied. The
control which Prince Bismarck exercises
over the press is we'll known. Before
any important step he takes occasion to
have predetermined line of policy de-
manded through tho public organs It
was 80 at every crisis Of the late war.
The taking Of Alsace and Lorraine was
foreshadowed by the press long before it
was officially stated az one of the terms
OF peace. It may be, and it very likely
Is, as yet, only tentative step. Perhaps
it will bo years before it is followed up
by formal demand. But we may be
sure that if the outcry about ''restora-
ton" to Germany Of what never belong
ed to it, by Great Britain, with which
Germany has no quarrel, were displeas-
ing to the astute chancellor of the Em-
pire, he would speedily find way to put
n stop to it.

It is said that Prince Bismarck, in va
rious ways, encouraged the Paris Com
mune for sometime, and particularly in
admitting, on that side of the city held
by tho German army, all comers into
Paris, without questioning. and that his
idea was that The Commune would thus
draw within the walls Of Paris e!! th e
most vicious revolutionary elements of
the Continent. But what for? Then, I"
said the great rat-catcher, as reported,
"when the trap is full, we will shut the
door," And 30 it was, that when the
trap was full the Germans did shut the
door on their side, and the Versaillists,

A HORSE PLAGUE. "A new horse dis.
ease, which battles the skill Of tho most
eminent veterinary surgeons, says the
New York Post, has appeared IN the sta-
bles Of the horse railroad companies and
large Livery keepers Of New York. and
has destroyed many valuable animals.
Tho Third avenue line has, it is report
ed, two hundred horses suffering from
the plague, and the disease is also pre-
valent in the stables of the other compa-
MES. The veterinary surgeons declare
that the disease is not Infectious, but
confess their inability to define its true
character. It is reported that up to the
present time, upwards of eight hundred
horses have been attacked by it. Many
bave died.

Carolina, commenced the cultivation of
tea in this country, and since that time
it has been cultivated with moderate suo-
