A Berlin dispatch of the 23d instant, after
stating that sserlous complication: had arisen
between England and Germany, gives the fol-
lowing particulars:
Prince Bismarck addressed a note to Count
Bernstorf, the German representative IN Lon
don, informing him that the Imperial German
Government desired to acquire Hellgoland,
and empowering him to make propositions to
the British Government for the purchase OF
the island.
Earl Granville replied in the same manner,
saving that England will not part with Heligo-
land, and that the British Government could
entertain no proposition looking to the session
of that island.
Upon this Prince Bismarck again addressed
the British Government, through Count Gern-
storf, declaring that the acquisition OF Helgo-
German coast, reciting as an instance the
facilities for coaling and immunity from at
tack which the French feet enjoyed at Heligo-
land, by which it was enabled to blockade
Hamburg and paralyze the commerce OF the
German coast. He looked upon Hellgoland,
on account of Its close proximity, as German
territory, and its possession by any foreign
paRer as q standing menace to Germany. !,
NIarl Granville again replied that England
was only bound to consider her own interests;
that the wish of the German Government to
acquire Hellgoland did not constitute her right
to It, as the Island had never been under Ger
stage. y" ~
All the un. f.cial papers in Berlin are discus
sing the chances for the acquisition Of HeDgo.
land, while the official press Is either guarded
or silent on the subject, q fact which is inter-
preted as one Of great significance.

THE POPE'S ENCYCLICAL.
Issued ON the Occasion of His Jubile

Issued on the Occasion OF His Jubilee.
! Another encyclical letter has been Issued by
the Pope, dated at Rome, June 4th, upon the
occasion of the 25tf anniversary of his acces-
sion to the chair. In this letter lie alludes to
some of the more notable spiritual and tempo
raj events of his -pontiacate. He Is thankful
that he has 'been able. to proclaim In the
course Of his pontl6cate, according to our de-
sire and that of the Catholic world, the dogma
of the Immaculate Conception Of the Virgin
Mother of Cod, and to render honors to several
heroes Of our religion. We doubt not that
their assistance, chiefly that Of the Holy
Mother, win not fail the Catholic Church In
these tempestuous times" The Gcumenical
Council is dismissed in line of mention, and
then, after lamenting the evils which have
oyertaken the temporal power, the Pope
aludes, apparently, to the Dollinger and Hya-
cinthe affairs, hs follows:
We have, my venerable brethren, still anoth-
er cause, and a greater one, TOR grief When we
see that 80 manv rebellious Bons, bound TO us
by so many ties of allegiance, persist. In dlsre-
gardlng our paternal voice and their own sal.
vation, throwing away the ume Wnlcn. ~ G0o
yet offers them for repentance, ana preierrlng
10 incur the anger Of Divine retribution rather
than to avail themselves in time Of the fruits
OF mercy. @ -" ''f!t
Finally, after conterring authority upon the
blshopa, &C., ''lo give the Papal blessing, with
absolutlon, in the ordinary form ofthe Catho'
lie church, and with our apostolic authority,
on the l6Lh and 2lst OF this month, or any
other day OF your choice" the letter con-
cludes:
Desiring to watch over the spiritual welfare
of the faithful, we grant,; In the Lord, 6y
these presents, that all Christians OF both
sexes, IN whatever diocese they may be, who
have made confession, entered into the holy
communion, and have addressed TO God ,pious
prayers for the concord OF Christian princes,
the extirpation of heresy and the exaltati0n Of
our holy mother church, should obtain absolu-
ton of all their sins.

THE GEAR IN BERLIN.
Berlin June 81 Correspondence Of the London
telegraph

Telegraph
Berlin has worn during these two days q
gala aspect which is not often seen IN the onsl-
ness-like capital of Prussia. Royal carriages,
filed with strange and brilliant uniforms, nave
been perpetually, aashing up and down the
Linden, between the Kings palace and the
Russian Embassy; and the usually slow trafhc
has been stopped altogether in order to allow
the quick -trotting horses free play. The EN-.
peror. King, accompanied by the Princes OF
his house, the Crown Princes, the Princess
Liegnitz, old Marshal Won Wrangel, ana q
numerous staff, repaired to the Eastern KALI
way station yesterday morning to meet the
Emperor of all the Russias. The station was
gaily decorated, and the six handsome recep,,
tion-rooms were bright with exotic plants and
divers colored costumes-the German EN-
.peror and those of the Princes who hold mono
rary titles in the Russian service wearing hus-
sian uniforms. On the arrival OF tHe Gar tne
band OF the Fusiier Guards, detachment OF
which was on duty, struck up tne RUSSIAN u
national HYMN: and when the Father Of his
people arrived at the Embassy he found
guard of honor of the Prussian Grenadier Regl.
ment, which bears his name, stationed to re.
ceive him with military salutation Later 10
the forenoon the Czar, wearing the Prusslan
uniform, paid visit to his Majesty Oh Germany.
There was grand dinner at the Palace at the
customary patriarchal hour Of five, and then
Royal Opera-House to see the ballet OF "Sar'
danspalus"-one of the grandest Of the panto-
mimic performances tor which Berlin is ceie'
brated. -
To-day the Russian Ministers again attended
the performance at the Opera-House. Ine
State box in the centre of the house was nlleo
with snowy uniforms, but the front row OF
chairs was left vacant the whole evening, the
Royal personsges preierring the comparative
seclusion of the proscenium boxes. The EN-
peror of Russia, who looks worn, and certain
iy not younger than his full age, sat in stage
box on the pit tier; and the King OF Prussia
who, on the contrary, Is at least ten years
younger in appearance than he has any. right
to look, occupied his customary place In the
box Immediately above. Compared with the
plain and practical Prusslan uniforms, the n
Russian, with their large epaulettes falling
forward from the, shoulder over the chest
look very gay and showy; and the corridors
at all times crowded with military men, Wert
tonight even more than usually resplendenl

clanking swords and tinkling spurs

THE lIdINE DEMOCRACY.

AUGUSTA, Me-, June q.
In the Democratic Convention to-day G. F.
Kimball was nominated for governor. The
resolutions bury out Of sight dead issues. De-
mocracy must address Itself to the vital issues
and questions of the hour, and recognize as
binding the obligations Of the constitution as
it now is but the means are denounced by
which the same became supreme law. They
demand strict construction to protect equally
the rights of States and individuals, and for.
ever defend the same against concentration.
They oppose high protective tariff.

The publishers beg to call the attention Of those
aboutIormng classes In Botany TO the well known
works by Professor Gray. Having been carefully
revised they present the latest and most accurate
principles and developments OF the science; and
ft Is sufficient indorsement OF them to state that
they are used In almost every noIed College, High
School and Seminary In the country, and are rec.
commended over other series BY nine etenths OF the
leading Professors and Botanical Teachers In the
United States. 80 - -'-.'i.i
No author has yet approached Professor Gray In,
the rare art Of making purely scientific theories
and dry details popular and interesting. From
his charming elementary work "How Plants
Grow,n to his more elaborate manual, - there is
one simple, concise and yet exhaustive method OF
teaching the various grades OF the study.

Heaven.
Beyond these chilling winds and gloomy

Beyond these chilling winds and gloomy
skies
Beyond DEATHS cloudy portal, .
There is q land where beauty never dies,
And love becomes immortal.
A land whose light is never dimm'd by
shade,
Whose fields are ever vernal;
Where nothing beautiful can ever fade,
But blooms for aye, eternal.
We may not know how sweet the balmy
air,
How bright and fair its flowers;
We may not hear the songs that echo
there,
Through those enchanted bowers.
The city's shining towers we may not
see,
With our dim earthly vision;
For death, the silent warden, keeps the
that opes those gates elysian.
But sometimes, when adown the western
sky
The fiery sunset fingers,
It's golden gates are noiselessly,
Unlocked by unseen fingers.
And while they stand moment half
CLEANS from the inner glory, .
Stream brightly through the azure vault
afar
And half reveal the story.
