The Hamburg DIGESTION.

Berlin, 6.-The Official Gazette pub
lishes dispatch from Bismarck TO the
Pruzsian representatives 10 federal states
dealing with ths Altoona and st. Paul
question. Il states that committees of
The Bundesrath have unanimously re-
solved to report to the council only upon
the technical side of the question, and to
keep altogether out of consideration the
constitutional aspect of the Gaze, He lays
stress upon the necessity of avoiding, as
far as possible for the sake of concord,
any Interpretation of tho constitutional
rights Involved Bismarck points out
that it is the indisputable right of Prussia
to divi ie any portion of her own terri
tory from Hamburg free port district,
and maintains that the proposed sever
ance of St Paul has not been urged IN
the interest of Prussia, as Il Is an advan-
tage to Altoona that 1t. Paul should re-
main outside Of the Zollverein, but that
it was rather in the interest OF Hamburg
that the customs line was proposed. The
Bundesrath can decide upon customs
line without entering into the examlna-
ton of the constitutional bearing OF the
duesIion,.wAieA would likely produce
conflict of opinion. Those governments
which consider that by the severance OF
St.Paul from Hamburg, the constitution
Of the empire would be violated, can vote
against The proposal, but in that case
Bismarck would not advise the empire TO
renounce its right 10 uphold the demand,
which Is undoubtedly no infract:"n of the
constitution. Bismarck urges the neces-
sity of maintaining unimpaired concord
between the governments and expressed
the hope that the respective proposals of
Prussia and Hamburg may be settled by
an arrangem mt and without Tesorting to
decision by msjorities and minorities.
Prussia will willingly take into consid-
GRAFTON any proposal which could in its
effect be in accordance with the constitu-
ton, provided the federal government
make a unanimous endeavor TO oppose
with one accord the sttempt of the Reich
stsg to limit the authority Of the Bundles

HOW BEAUTIFUL 10 LIFE.
BY GAsKELL.

BY GAsKELL.
How beautiful IS life,
When happiness is ours;
How bright the summer sky,
Sweet earth's blushing flowers.
Look then where er we will,
We view but gladstone light,
Ger our pathway glinting,
In hues of Eden bright
lis rot Golconda's gems,
IT'S not the dark mines gold;
Happiness gives to US,
Or pleasures rare unfold,
IT'S not the glare Of power,
Nor rank, nor high command,
Can our pathway brighten,
Hume in ev'ry LAND.
In the path of duty,
The consciousness of right,
Seek happiness and honor,
Virtues air and bright.
Life at best is fleeing,
Too oft is full Of woe,
Wrought by sinful pininp,
From which our sorrows flow.

many persons were prevented from attend
ing notwithstanding this, however, the au-
dience was quite large.
The exercises were opened with prayer
by Professor G.. L. Taylor, OF Wake-Forest
College, North Carolina.
The salutatory address was delivered by
Mr.. G. q. Davis, OF Texas, president OF Mu
Sigma Rho Society. In behalf OF the two
societies he welcomed the audience to the
celebration, and alluded TO the pleasure II
afforded him. His address was delivered
in a manner rejecting great credit upon
himself and the Society OF which nc Is pre-.
sident He was frequently applauded, and
took his seat amidst q shower OF applause.
