permanent increase of f1O. o0o 900 per annum mot

Crimean war. These sums are enormous that
they cannot even DO imagined, except by some
process OF comparison. To aid this comparison

Bismarck an Atheist.

The European correspondents of the
New York World manage to hatch up
some very remarkable stories. 4 sy-
nopsiS of n of the latest is given in
our telegraph columns this morn ing.
1t is in substance that Bismark ac-
knowledges himself an Atheist, and
that the real aim of the German EN-
pire is to break down all forms of
christianity, and more particularly
the Roman Catholic Church. The
correspondent makes him say that no
people who believe in the exist
ence Of a God can be governed
submissively, and that the true
theory Of governmental policy is
to supplant the Deity in the minds,
and co~nsciencies of the governed
with the paramount Importance of
the State. Bismarck thinks the State
should be worshipped and not a God.
If true, it is a bold declaration, and
one, considering the high source from
whence it eliminated, which is liable
to call forth more universal criticism
than anything that has been uttered
during the nineteenth century.

The whole basin is enveloped in

with terrific force, and in fabulous
quantities, and in every conceivable
fOSnl. to heights varying from twen-
