strikingly by the numerous plous pilgrim

From the Czechs of Bohemia there rings

reading for the past few days OF meeting
at the baths of Ischl between the Emperor

curiosity, and even when 1t came out tnas

Germany were travelling together to the
Gastein waters, diplomacy appeared to
feel small anxiety at the circumstance
/ But suddenly some sharp observer laid
hold of the fact that Bismarck and benst
had gone to Gastein also. VI course, tne

men holding quiet council in that far-on
nook set wise men thinking what the cause
could be. They think they have discover

bismarck want the Emperor Francis

capitalists in the railways of Roumania,
because q Prince of the Prussian family

pretty sure about their thalers. These
