medimvalism in the center of Europe.
Lately he had been pushed forward
with very little preparation in the
midst of the modern world. The gov.
eminent has relaxed its hold on him ;
trade has been forced railways have
provided him with locomotion; he is
no longer a prisoner in the little state
in which he may happen to have been
born. The state no longer places him
under the tutelage of any form of re-
ligisn, and he may follow bis own
fancies as he will, so long as he does
not declare himself too prominently
against the policy of prince Bismarck.
In short, he had liberty, according to
the humble notions Of liberty enter
tanned by Germans, suddenly given
him, and, like a large portion Of the
human race, he has made bad use Of
the sudden gift.

Peculiarities of the BObOlink and
His Song.

have noticed that the bobolink
does not sing the same in different 10.
calities. In New Jersey it has one
song, on the Hudson a slight variation
of the same, and on the high grass
lands of the interior Of the state quite
different strain-clearer, more dis
tinctly articulated, and running off
with more sparkle and liltingness. It
reminds one of the clearer mountain
air and the translucent spring-water of
those localities. I never could make
out what the bobolink says in New
Jersey, but in certain districts in this
state his enunciation is quite distinct.
Sometimes he begins with the words
"gegue, gegue." Then again more
fully "be true to me, Clarsy, be true
to me, Clarsy," thence full tilt into his
inimitabIe song, interspersed in which
the words "kick your slipper, kick
your slipper" and Temperance, tenn
perance," (the last with a peculiar
nasal romance), are plainly heard. At
its best it is a remarkable performance,
a unique performance, as it contains not
the slightest hint or suggestion, either
in tones, or manner, or effect, of any
bird-song to be heard. The bObolink
has no mate or parallel in any part of
the world. He stands alone. There
is no closely allied species. He is an
exception to many well known rules.
He is the Only black and white bird
we have, and what is still more odd, he
is black beneath and white above
the reverse of the fact in all other
eases. Prominently a bird of the
meadow during the breeding season,
and associated with clover and daises
and buttercups, as no other bird is, he
yet has the look of an interlOper or a
newcomer, and not of one to Il q
manor born. The bobolink has an uns
usually full throat, which may help ac-
count for his great power of song. No
bird has yet been found that could inn
itate him or even repeat or suggest a
single note, as if his song were the pro-
duct of a new set of organs. There is
a vibration about it and a rapid run
ming over the keys that is the despair
Of other songsters. II is said that the
mocking bird Is dumb in the presence
Of the h0bolink. My neighbor has an

being sucked from the cavities or
scooped out by means of rude spoons
of horn, wood, or bone The smaller
bones were comminuted by means OF
large stone mauls and boiled until the
medular matter rose to the surface;
this was SKINNED off and poured into
large intestines or pouches, and thus
preserved for future use. Berries, bone,
canned meats of all kinds, and roasted
insects, pounded together, constituted
a very serviceable pemmican, which
was used during long journeys and on
hunting excursions. These methods
of preparing food, together with some
of the foods themselves, though still
surviving among many of the Sioux,
are or have been going somewhat into
disuse. Another preparation much
used by men and hunting parties was
the perfumed sagamite or roasted corn
meal and maple sugar.
Though their habitations consist
principally of tents of dressed buffalo
skin, originally the Sioux, like the
Mandans, GrOs Ventres, and Aricka-
rees, used to some extent more sub
stanGial dwellings, consisting of conical
huts of poles, matched over with bark
and earth. This form, however, never
prevailed among them. In summer
the women rarely wear anything on
the head, and the men wear only Orna-
mental head-dresses. In former times
a much-prized head ornament consisted
of small, fiat bone, with lines cut to
the had of a buffalo, behind
which was placed, according to the
rank of the wearer, two or more sock
cts for eagles quilts. The whole was
sUrmounted with tuft or crest of dyed
buffalo hair. Such ornaments were
placed on the shaved head, immedi-
ately in front Of the scalp-lock. Chiefs
wear a head-dress of teath-
ers, made by connecting in long row
a large number of turkey or eagle
quilts in such a way that they would
form a tapering line from one end to
the other. This was made fast to
sort of hood or cup with al ong pend
ant tail, and hung gracefully from the
crest to the feet. Masks made from
The heads of animals have been used
among them, especially at the tortur-
ing of captives and in some of their
Eeasts and exhortatiOns. The buffalo
masks are well-known specimens Of
this kind, six or eight of which are ex-
nibited. In addition to these head
dresses the women sometimes use disks
Of silver or sheet metal, the first being
as broad as the hand, the next a little
smaller, and so on. The largest of
these disks confined the hair immedi-
ately back of the head, and the others
under, tapping each other
like the scales Of fish, Termed taper
ing line from the head to the end of
the hair. Such head-dresses are used
only by the better classes, the poorer
,quaws coptenting themselves by part
ing their hair IN the middle and allow
ing it to hang in two braids behind, or
a roll of it in front of either
ear.

CHANGES IN GERMANY.
The People Much Spoiled by their Sue
oess-A Contrast between the
Germans and French.
London Saturday Review.

A war over the spoils of Turkey
would be highly mconvenient to Ger
many, who must either see others get
ting advantages while she got none, or
must ask for cOmpensations which
would scarcely be conceded to her
unless demanded at the point of the
sword. A war of any kind would in
deed be highly distastefUl to Germany
Just now. Lord Derby said that he
doubted whether the financial position
of Prussia would permit her to 60 to
war, and if for any purpose he had
wished to 60 further in the same strain
of undiplomatic frankness, he might
have said much the same of Germany.
The credit of the German govern
ment is, indeed, as good as that of any
continental government, and deserv-
edly so, as the political fnanciers of
Germany are proverbialIy honest,
thrifty, and even penurious. But Ger
many as a country is embarrassed.
1t has suffered from the general de-
preston of trade which has totally
overshadowed so large a part of the
world. 1t is by no means a country
of great resources, and its commerce
is as yet far behind the commerce of
England and France. Old as it is
historically, it is in one way young
country, because wars and bad gov
eminent for centuries retarded its
growth. The depression under which
It has recently been labOring has not
been purely a commercial depression.
1t has been in a great measure caused
by social change which has for a
time taken the people off its balance.
The citation caused by the Austrian
and French wars has done something
to upset the German mind but it is a
mistake TO find the origin of social
change in a single cause.
The remark is frequently made
by foreigners that the Germans
have been much spoiled by their
successes, have lost their simplicity
and contentment, and have become
insOlent, dissatisfied, and idle. A
contrast is drawn between the vitiated
habits Of the conquerors and the i'm.
proved habits Of the conquered, and il
Is said that the war has done French,
men as much good as it has done Ger.
mans harm. 1t is quite fair that this
contrast should be drawn. The waT
did do France good and the Germans
harm. The French set themselves to
repair the losses with an energy, a pa,
thence, and an amount of good sense
which was in the highest degreecredit,
able to them.
The Germans, az has been said, were
undoubtedly spoiled by the war. The
milIiards seemed like the pieces Of
gold in a fairy tale. As soon as they
were touched they turned 10 dust, and
no one was the better for them. But
it i not true that it was the war alone
that produced n change for the worse
in Germany. IF we take the last de-
eade Of German history as a whole, il
has been marked, not only by two
great wars, but by a great social con.
Vulsion. Germany has been rapidly
m0dernized. II used to be bound in
every limb by antique letters. From
bis cradle % his grave the German
used 10 be the slave Of his govern,
meut. His religion, his mode Of life,
Of marrying, occupying himself, were
aBJ settled f9r him. He vas 4 waif d
