Such is the new German empire now
launched. under happiest auspices, upon q
career which, we believe, in its ultimate
consequences, is destined to bless not only
Europe, but the world. Its growth and cul
mina:ion has raised the house Of Hohenzol
!crn to the highest pitch OF greatness; but
they who suppose that this empire is to run
merely in the narrow grooves of lnonarchical
tradition, and subservc only The selfish pur-
poses OF an hereditary dynasty, know little
OF the temper and spirit Of the German
peoples The imperial purple is but a veil
which hides for a little while the Footsteps
Of advancing liberty. The German empire
is the forcrunner Of pure. enlightened, IN
dcstIuctible German freedom.

We copy the following from the Magnolia

Centralian:
The editor of the Southern Herald, al
Liberty, Mississippi, has recently received
. message from Mr.. Elder, OF Woodville,
conveying the intelligence that the West
Feliciana Railroad Company had taken
action in reference to the extension OF the
road, had opened books for subscription
of stock in Woodville, and that co-opera-
ton in Amite county was invited. The
charter Of the Liberty and Magnolia coll-
pany has been SO amended as to make any
point on the New Orleans and Jackson road
In Pike county, a terminus. Should tie
WO0dville company receive sufficient en-
Couragement to extend their road through
to Liberty, the Liberty and Magnolia com
pany can unite with them and carry it on
to completion. Books will be opened at
Liberty in short time, and the subject
brought home to the people Of Amite.
What are we going to do in the matter,
Aereg is a question that naturally arises
upon the above information. Are those
most interested in the project, and with the
benefits accruins to the town, by forming a
new junction OF the road at this important
point, going to let ''any other point" in the
county prevail over their supineness and
laggardness Of action in this important mat
ter! While others are meving in it again, it
behooves us now to be up and stirring, also

In a small town in Kentucky there is a
Newfoundland dog who is so pacific by
nature that he can not bear to witness an
outburs: of passion. All the turkeys. ducks,
geese and chickens regard him with attec-
ton. since he will not permit any OF them
to quarrel one with another. he keeps a
watchful eye upon all. and instantly puts
down every pugnacious disturber OF the
barnyal, peace. The work keeps him
busy; still he does not tire OF it.

Il wonder whether woman ought not to be

just as the minister began to read in a loud
voice the lesson Of Scripture which begins,
''Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a

to his feet in great excitement, the merchant
stretched his arm and shook his book at the

There seems to be no doubt that a auor-
um of both Houses of Congress will be pre-
sen: to morrow. The Presidents message
will be transmitted directly after the Presi.
dent shall have been informed by the Joint
Committee that they are ready to receive
any communication he may have to make.
Both the message and the report of the
Secretary of she Treasury will be telegraph
to the distant press, bat printed copies of
the reports of the heads of Departments
have been sent outi advance of their deliv-
cry.
1t is understood that Speaker Blaine has
brought the list of standing committees to
this city, fully made up, and has not con.
sented TO entertain o change of any I'M
portant assignment An unusual reticence
has been maintained, and all assertions as
to particulars of appointments are merely

nounced to morrow shortly after the House

navy estimates for tho fiscal year ending
