GREAT AND GOOD FRIEND 1t has been
vOuchSafed to you to celebrate the

which the great Centennial festival of
the day upon which the great Repub-

rank of independent nations. The

been realized by development with
out parallel. To congratulate you
and the American people upon this oc-
caSiOn affords me so much the greater
pleasure. because since the treaty of
friendship which my ancestor of glo-
rious memory, King Frederick H.,
who now rests with God, concluded
with the United States, undisturbed
friendship has continually existed be-
tween Germany and America, and has
been developed and strengthened by
the everincreaSlng Importance of their
mutual relations, and by an inter-
course being more and more fruitful
i'll every domain of commerce and
science. That the welfare of the
United States and the friendship of the
two countries may continue to increase
is my sincere desire and confident
hope. Accept renewed assurance of
my ldllllttl toItCl1'

The proposed flooding of the Sahara
Desert is something more than mere
talk. Mr.. Mckenzie, the protector,
with an engineering party, is about to
leave London for Western Africa, to
make the necessary surveys for turn |
ing the waters of the Atlantic into the |
great desert. He is confident that a |
canal eight or nine miles long will ac
complish the object, and enable the |
flooding of the low lands of the desert |
to be accomplished, so tilat Timbuctoo
will be brought within navigable dis
lance of the sea. The opening up of |
a vast trade with the interior of At
RIGA is the inducement offered for car
rying out this project.
Miss Cary says the divine Nilsson is
getting so stout that her friends in
America would scarcely know her.
The constant expansion of her lungs |
in singing, and a too aSsiduOuS deyO
ton TO porter, are the causes of her |
ruined figure.
