P.S Assessors who neglect to
assess all property from actual view
as near as practicable and at its true
cash ualue, or who neglect to sub
scribe to the oath required in making
their return of assessment roll to
the Town Clerk are liable to both a
civil and criminal prosecution and
should there be any such within this
county during the present year, it
is to be hoped that some one will be
found who will be sufficiently inter-
ested to carry on the prosecution.

soonest girl putting in an appearance at the
Fourth of July Ball at National Guard Hall,

The newsmongers speak of Bismarck s
strength as "Herculean" because he was en-
ahled to stop his dog from making a meal of
that poor old dried-up Russian, Prince Gort-

casion was more audible than visible. and was
the cause of the honest dogs assault. Gort-

protector, made spring at the noisy and of

internal resources and reeureratlve powers
of the nation, he would have bled her more
thoroughly when he had the chance to do
1t. He showed his contempt for English
state-crafs by intimattng that, if Turkey
was the "sick man of Europe," England
was the ''sick woman" As q necessary
consequence of his policy he undertook to
bully the poor Pope, who had 10 political
allies and no army at his back he made
Italy dance to whatever music he chose to
make; and the "mopgrel kingdom"-as
anomalous in its construction as the German
empire itself-obeyed. his behests with
readiness that outrsn and and shamed It's
instruction. When the complications grow
ing out Of the Russo Turkish war threaten
ed to involve all Europe, every one looked
to Germany as the arbiter of the occasion.
Bismarck talked and acted loftily he was
everyone's friend and nobody's. One day
he leant towards Russia; and England
trembled and made preparations Tor war
The next dsy his organs intimated that
Russia was going too far, and that Berlin
favored Congress and the submission of
all points in issue "to all the signatories OF
existing treaties :" and forthwith English
securities rose in the money market, and
English papers were loud in their praises OF
Bismarck and the German Empire. Nothing
could look more consolidated" or impos-
| ing than the influence welded by this man'
the apparent dictator of half the civilized
world. And yet single incident, transpir'
ling in few moments, sufficed to show the
inherent weakness of the power of mere
force on which the structure rests. A crazy

attempted crime, and sympathy with tn
intended victim. But the German empir

IMPERIAL GERMANY-.WBAK
WITHIN

It Is an axiom In mechanic that the
strength of any building or b, idge, is to be
measured by the power Of It's weakest part.
This principle may well be Gpplied to the
German empire. Tt is only a. little while
ago that "the whole world " termed by the
press, which, In this advanced 2ge assumes
to itself the role of mouth-piee:e, was lost
In wonder at the amazing strides of the
German Empire, which Bismarck had con-
solidsted by his expressly avewed policy OF
'blood and iron" Under his guidance
Prussia had crushed out all the smaller
States-geod, bad and indifferent--and
constructed out of them the vas1 power OF
the Germanic Empire,-the most colossal
that Europe had seen since the star of the
First Napoleon set amid the carnage OF
Waterloo. Ite strength and efficiency seem
cd to be approved, on their first trial, by
the success of the German arms, In the
Franco-Pruesian war; and when, at the end
Of that contest, Germany retired with the
spois of two annexed provinces, and an
enormous "ipdcmuity" In money, the San
glo-saxon" press, in England and America,
sung peaas upon the visible evidence of the
Teutonic oyer the Celtic races of men.
Time-the "great Avenger''-has corrected
all that. For brief space it did seem that
Germany, as it is now constituted, was to
become the dominant power in Europe. As
its representative, Bismarck snubbed Aus
tris. He was coldly polite to Fran:e,-onc
more on her teet,--going so far IS to hint
that, if he had known how gyeatiWere the
