GERMANY ON THE OCEAN
Her lid for the Naval and Conn nlcrs.i:lI
Supremacy Orthc World.

The upcnly-avowd policy of the Ger
man Government in building up navy
corresponding to the vast military strength
OF the empire, and capable Of competing
With the great maratimc powers of Eu-
rope, involves issues of the very greatest
Importance to the whole ccommcrcialworld
10 the government and people of England
tins policy involves the most momcntous
consequences. Against Germany as Il
mere military power, that government
can afford to be Indifferent. With her
vast fleet she is all but impcrvious to the
colossal military strength of the conti-
mental nations. But as against a naval
and commercial Germany the conditions
are entirely changed In that contin
gency the points ofattack and defence are
reduced to an equality. 1t has long been
4 maxim that commercial and naval power
followed i'll the track of military rower.
and Germany seems likely to afford the
world another illustration of this fact.
We can therefore we'll understand the
scarcely concealed anxiety of English
writer's and statesmen at the prohigious
development of the naval resources of
Germany that has taken place during the
last ten years. And now with the pres
tigc and advantages derived from her re-
cent victories the same policy is pursued
with all the vigor and determination
characteristic Of the great Bismacrk.
The real object of her immense arma-
ments is the building up of Il naval and
commercial marine that will enable Ger
many to take q commanding position as
commercial nation. That they will
really add anything to the effective mill
tary strength of the empire, is scarcely
pretended. In addition to these arma-
mcnts, with which it appears Germany
ought to be content, there ALWAYS looms
up the danger of Il sudden politica! com
plicntion that will enable Germany to ac-
qnlrc the control Of Belgium and Holland
But 1t will he seen that Germany pushes
with rcmorsclcss tcnacity the idea ofcom-
mcrel;'l supremacy, and there seems no
good reasons why it should not attain il

strike at the.vcry root Of the commercial

to see that the commercial prestige of
England would undergo shock from
which it would be slow to recover

NO REsT FOR THE WICKED.-A mcr-
chant belonging to Buiscn, near Cologne
says the Frankeurtcr Zeitung, whose five
editors and publishers are in prison for
offences against the press,-was recently
summoned before the German tribunal,
Tor having during his sleep, uttered some
words which reflected on the character of
Prince Bismark. He was sleeping in Il
room at Il tavern, and when he awokc the
muster of the establishment told him he
had insultcd the imperial chancellor. 4
third person, it appears, who had heard
the dreaming man, went immediately To
the police Office and gave information,
upon which the unconscious offender was
at once arrested and put on trial No
sentence was passed on him. but the
president of the court remarked with So
verify that the accused had only to thank
himself for the Inconvenience to which he
had been subjected, because if he were
not an enemy of Prince Bismark, he ought
not during his sleep to have insulted the
bcncfactor of Germany. The story reads
almost like Il hoax, but its appearance in
so respectable Il Journal aS the FrankJur-
terIcf"ny vouchcs for its being an actual
occurrence.

Halo Around the Sun.

Newspapers printed in Syracuse,
Utica, Schenectady, and Troy, N. Y,
Rutland; VT, and Laconia, N. H., make
mention of remarkable halo which was
seen around the sun on late Sunday.
IlleJSyracuse Journal thus describes it
Shortly after ten o'clock complete lu-
minous circle around the sun, Of the col
ors of the rainbow was seen, and at the
same time, in the east segment of bril-
liant rainbows, with another scarcely less
distinct in the south, and, directly over
head, severals concentric rings like their
counterpart, the main circle about the
sun, were also visible. This phenome-
non continued in much bfilliancy for
about half an hour and for an hour the
halo about the sun was distinctly, though
less brilliantly visible. During part of
the time, the suns disc was travcrsed by
a vertical band of white, and the circle
around the sun inclosed an elliptical
band of white, whose extreme length cx-
tended from one inner side. to the other
the circle, northerlys and Isoutherly.

she saved the life of Il soldier who had
started for a sail on the harbor in light

The Horrors OF Civil War.

the following extract from letter adj
dressed g,ny the Carlist General Castclla
TO Colonel dc Narettc is handed TO us
Ivy the London Carlst committee for
publication. The writer had command
of the lortitications at Villareal during
the recent engagement:
have during my life witnessed some
very sad scenes of war, and / thought !
had seen the summit of human misery
IN the retreat of the army of the east
Gn lS70), of which | commanded the
rear guard. But 1 can. not recall any
impression which can be compared with
the feeling which | experienced On enter
ing with Brigadier Valluerca, the princi-
pal street Of Villareal, when it was on
fire from one end to the other The
cracking Of the flames whose red glare
struggled against the light of the mid
day sun, the heavy crash of windows
giving away and Of roofs falling in, the
shricks of frenzied women and the cries
of children who run with bare feet on
the ashes. the grim despair of the old
men, as they gazed with dry eyes and a
fixed stare upon the scene, the impreca-
tons of the Carlist soldiers as parties
rushed in hot pursuit of the incendiaries
the rattle Of the musketry, all formed
horrible spectale which battles descrip-
tiOn.
" | saw in a side street, between two
burning houses, woman lying stretched
out on mattress, surrounded by little
children half naked, who were uttering
piercing cries. The atmosphere was lln-
bearablc. The flames all but licked the
paths; the burning ruins were falling
down on all sides quite close to them;
and this family, abandoned in confusion,
were about to he either roasted or
crushed. ] got off my horse, which was
drcadfllly frightened by the flames and
noise around, and / went up to where
the sick woman lay. She was paralized.
Her husband, mule driver, was away.
Some soldiers carried her out of the
house before setting fire to it, The only
thing left hcr-and that by mere good
luckwas, the mattress on which she
was lying. The heat was becoming more
and,more intense; their faces were Grim
son; the children, in their agony, re-
doubled their shrieks, their poor mother,
as she looked at them, weeping, andscan,
ing The holy Virgin to her aid. What
could be more heartrending than this
picture, framed as it were in fire - Ion

Bismarck wrote to his wife in july,
1851: "The day before yesterday went
to Wiesbaden, and looked with mixture
OF sadness and premature wisdom at the
scenes of my former follies. IF only it
would please God to fill up with clear
strong wine the vessel in which at twenty
one the muddy champagne of youth
frothed up to so little purpose n y How

dergone in the fourteen years that have
elapsed since that time, each in its turn

small; how much now seems honorable
