LAND OF THE SOHEH.

1.nd Of the South Imperial Land!-
How proud thy mountains rise +!
How sveety thy scenes on every hand
How fair thy covering skies
But not for these,-oh, not for these, T..
Ilove thy fields to roam,- '~'
Thou hasta dearer spell to me,-t
Thou art my native homa2.
Thy rivers foil their liquid Wealth;
Unequalled-to tho sea, -:''':''
Thy hills and valleys bloom with eheslth,
And green with vsrdure be-!
But, not fog thy proud ocean streams,
Not for thine azure dome,-
Sweet, Sunny South ~ cling to thee,-
Thou art my native homel
I've stood beneath Italias cline
Beloved Of talo and song, ;.
On Helvyr's hills proud and sublime, 30
Where natures wonders throng;
by Ten,pe's classic sunlit streams,
Where Gods, of old, did roam,- -:
But nesr have found so fair land
Is thou-my nativo home!
And chou hast proutler glorics too,
Tban nature ever gave,- ,,,.
Peace sheds DER thee, her genial dew,
And f:eedom's pinions wave,-
Fair science filings her pearls around,
Religioa lifts her DOME
These, these ondear thee, to my heart,-
Ny OWN > ~ loved native home!
And heavens best gift to man. is thine,
God bless thy rosy girh - ,,...:
Like sylvan flowers, they sweetly shinc,-
Their hearts are pure as pearls!
And grace and goodness circle them,
Where their footsteps roam,-
How can I then, whilst loving them,
Not love my native homel'
Land Of the South Imperial land!
Then here's health to thee
Long as thy mountain barriers stand, :
May'st thou be blest and free!
May dark dissension's banner ne'er
Wave DER thy fertile loam,- ~,
But should it come, there's one will die,
To save his native home! -.

publicanism in all parts of the world

Great Republic of the North may
demonstrate that she has real as

Parliamentary mutiny. The Reichstag re-
| solves it will not sit under the spur Of q
Prussian Minister, that it will protect its
sovereign dignity. So that Prince Bis
marck, for the first time in bis career,
checked by power he fears, threatens to
resign.
! Let us present this question with
o.. possible emphasis, because here is the
late>'t and most important phase of this
contes.1. The Prince saw fit TO declare the
ares, an d imprisonment of Herr Majunke,
n n,smber If the Reichstag, for the express
s;on NJ an on, uion hostile to the religious
noliey of the Chancellor. Although the
ReiciIstaz has been thoroughly submissive
to the CbaDeellor it a i'pointed committee
which passed resolution that the arrest
was ;nadmissible. and recommended that
Parliament demand his imn,ediate hbera-
tion.n To this the government responded
by releasing the member. But ch>s does
not seem to have satisfied Parliament, TOT
on Wednesday resolution was adopted
declaring that in order to uphold tue oig-
nifty of Parliament as an amendment to the
constitution is necessary tQ prevent the ar
rest of q member during sfie session." Ac-
cordiugly Bismarck threatens to resign,
deemipg the vote as a want of confidence.
The fact that q Prussian Minister shonld
not hesitate to lay violent hands on the
representative of a sovereign Parliament
and imprison him for the simple express
sion of an opinion shows the real value of
German liberty. We congratulate the
Reichstag that it has made this protest
against the interference of the Crown. The
truth is that tire contest in Germany is be-
tween Prussia and the attempt of Bismarck
to aggrandize the House of Hohenzollern
and Germany, which Prussia has thus far
governed by appealing to the patriotic i'm
pulses of the people for national unity.
The Germans begin to see in these extra
ordinary events, and particularly in the
severe sentence imposed upon Count Arnim,
that national unity is only q pretext for
Ptussian aggrandizement. Bismarck is
simply carrying out the legend of Frederick
the Great that Germany shoald govern Ea-
rope, that Prussia shozld govern Germany,
and that the House of Hehensollern should
be the absolute master of Prussia and of
the Continent.

PRUSSIA THE HOT BED OF NATIONAILsM
An article in the Toee della Verita, dated
from the Rhine, was translated into Ger
man by the Protestant Magde6urger lei
tung, and has excited the wrath Of the
Prussian authorities-probabiy from the
truth it contains. The writer argues that
it is mistake to imagine that the Prussiau
persecution of Catholics stands or fails
with Prince Bismarck. "Religious per-
secution, in its present form or in some
other, will never cease in Prussia as
long as Prussia exists. Its primitive
cause lies in the present form of govern
ment in Prussia, which step by step, has
reared itself in direct opposition to the
Catholic Church, and in principle and deed
IS the greatest and direct enemy of Catho-
licism. The certain consequence
of Professionalism is Rationalism therefore
Prussia is o Rationalistic Government
This also accounts for the well-knowD de-
votiop of Fresmasons and all enemies of
Christianity to the Prussian policy for
they know that Prussia is the very hos-b
of their theories. Prpssia's vocation is to
be the apostle of beathenism against Chris
tiapity, of unbeliefagainstb belief" To which
the Prussian National Zeitang replies-"We
glory in these principles, and in fighting for
side" True to their motto-''Apres nous
le deluge !" For if Prussia is the cham
pion of RatiOnalism she will be- overthrown
in its fall and tkst it will fall is an his
torieal necessity, and only a question of
time.

The French Elections.

The Paris correspondent of the N. Y.
TVorHSj writing under date of Nov. 22d,
says:
supervisors, and county officers throughout
tire United States were to be elected on the
same day, and if these elections were made
to turn upon some great national questioD,
you woald have, in the result, a good test
of the popular feeling of the country. This
is just what happened througbouS France
to day. Throughout all France 80 day,
Paris excepted, the elections of Municipal
Councils were held. There are 81 600
eommupes. which chose their. little local
legislators, and the whole number of
officials TO be elected is ret less than
42S, 600.
Now these "nRnicipal coupsillors''-this
army of 42S,45S recruited as it is by uni
versal sufsrage-will have great influence
in the future. But by some uDaceountable
partists have not taken any interest in
! these elections, but have left everything to
the Republicans. The eConseryatives-and
| in this list are THE shop-keepers, merchants,
bankers, large owners of land and capital
/ ists-have had no candidates, and tho Re-
publcans have everywhere walled over the
course. The only explanation offered is
that the Conservatives care nothing for
these petty elections, and rely wholly upon
the fact tbat the Mayors and adjoints are
| not elected oy the people, but are appointed
by the Government. With these the future
can be cared for" the Republicans may
please themselves by electing the council
| lors, but we will coUtrOl the councils by
our mayors" There is some thing in this,
no doubt, but it is u poor thing to say for a
cnuutry whose institutions are based in
theory upon the sanction of universal suf-
frage.
| The liberal--0r as their opponents call
them the inadei-wing "f the French Pro-
testant Charch is rot disposed to submit
quietly to the communications pro-
nounced upon them by their orthodox
"rothers. They greatly encouraged by
receiving an address of s. mpathy from the
liberal Protestant unions of the Neither
iands. and they have sent another letter to
the Minister of Public Worship, telling him
that he must not treat them new sect
hut as g. component part D: the existing
Protestant Church.

Certain Swiss friars haaished recently
from the Convent of Notre Dame de la
Pierre, Switzerland, who have received a
very warm greeting from the excellent
President of the Republic of Ecuador,
write thus to their Superior General in
Europe. "Very dear and ilustrious
Father: We have just received from the
President of the Repnb';c of Ecuador
letter in which he declares that our arrival
has, given him the greatest pleasure. He
offers us valley, situated about fourteen
miles from Quito wherein to found and

religious, one of whom must be an arehi-
tect, to leave for Qaito in November next.
He has already given M. Tonquet, the
Consul of his Government in Paris an
order to pay their expenses here. The
valley is fertile and healthy, and a carriage
road leads to it from Quito. The Presi-
dent tells us it is full of wood and we'll

ted and therefore uncnltivated. We are
going to visit it at once and he will pay
