Russia and Germany.

Berlin, %. - Che North German
Gazette, in justification of its recent ar
ticles with regard to Russia, says if the
efforts of Pan-slavists are successful, q
dissolution of the Austro-HungArian
monarchy must follow, and the policy of
Bismarck, sanctioned By the whole of
Germany, is to intervene to prevent that
event. The profound venersti0n felt by
Germany for peace-loving does not in
yolve the consequences that all leading
Russian statesmen are to be regarded as
friends of Germany.
London, 28.-Ihe manner in which
the Russian press has sought to make use
of the recent demonstrations of German
sympathy for the Gar, TO prove that the
old relations between the two states still
exist, has called forth article in the
North German Gazette, as a protest
against the theory that the personal rela-
tions of the two dynasties control the rela-
tons of the governments.

The Star Service.

Washington, 28.-Senators Wallace,
Beck and Booth, a subcommittee of the
committee on appropriations; heard
Postmaster General Key, Assistant Post
master General Brady, and Monroe
Salisbury, western mail contractor, on
the subject of the Star service deficiency.
Postmaster Generals Key and Brady
argued that the amount proposed by the
House bill should be increased Sl,700,-
600, and that its restrictive provisions
should be stricken out, in order to main
tain the mail service to the present.
standard, including all increases Of num-
bers of trips and all expaditing of the
service ordered during last and current
fiscal years. The amount originally asked
for by the department was 100000.
but $500, 900 of this was requested for
additional services for the remainder of
the current fiscal year which the depa;t-
ment no longer contempiates.

Shin RAILROAD.

New York, 2s.-The Commercial BHl-
Leti1l, referring 10 the project of ship
railroad on the SibillOt plan, to be forth
with tried near Paris, and to the applica-
ton recently made to the Greek govern
ment for authorization to construct q
ship railroad on the same plan on the
Isthmus of Corinth, ssys: Clearly We are
at least on the point of sscertaining what
can be done towards the connection OF
navigation Of separated waters by the
ship railroad The experiment is to be
tried on sn adequate scale under the eyes
of Europe, and it WI soon be made
manifest how far this expedient is des-
tined 10 supersede ship canals. As the
cost of railway.is only 01e-ffth 70 one
third of that Of o oasal, according &c
varying conditions, it may be pruden
for Les.eps 10 postpone his canal scheme
until this new function Of the railroad
has been fairly tested. At any rate, W
should think it quite possible that III
Capitalist friends in Paris may take tai
/ view of the matter.
