Bismarek's speech.
fBy cable to the Dispatch.


BERLIN, March 5.-The North Ger
man Gazette characterizes as wilful
perversions of truth the attempts of
English newspapers to construe the
speech of Bismarck in the Reichstag on
last Monday as indicating a desire on
his part to contribute to Gladstone's
defeat. Bismarck's object, the gazette
AYERS. was TO state the real fact, as to
Germany's attitude in regard to Egypt,
so as to retain the confidence Of foreign
countries. Turkeys. Frances, Rus
sia's, even Austria's belief in Germa-
ny's honesty would have been seriously
shaken if Bismarck had advised England
to take Egypt.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Such ex-
act figures as are obtainable indicate
that all estimates of the number of
strangers in Washington yesterday
were much below the actual number
The figures furnished by the Baltimore
and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads
show that these two roads alone
brought from or through Baltimore
100000 persons yesterday. Add to
this number those who had been flock
ing to the city for several days pre-
vious over these roads and from the
West over the Baltimore and Ohio and
over the Virginia roads and steamers
on the Potomac river, and it is proba-
bic that from 200, 900 to 100000 stran-
gers were in the city yesterday. Many
thousands still remain here.

have been quite large during the week

favorable conditions for handling, and
as the weather continues to improve
receipts 10 doubt will continue to en-
large. The late cold has retarded very
materially the marketing Of stock, and
now that this trouble is removed We
may expect very heavy offerings. Prices
show some little signs Of weakening,
especially in common leaf and Tugs.
Fine grades Of dark leaf are also
slightly lower, This, however, is
temporary, and a reaction will no doubt
shortly take place.

Associate of the Academy of Sciences

Co. 1885.
NJ. DE CANDOLLE is one of the most
famous men of our day. He is honored
by membership in Academies and Royal
Societies in every country in the world
almost.
The reader will guess at once that as
wheat is a cultivated plant, this book
must contain something interesting con-
corning it. Well, it does. Here is one
such statement:
"No grain taken from an Egyptian
sarcophagus and sown by horticulturists
has ever been known to terminate.
Don't forget that. The filsehooi
thus corrected has been repeated a
thousand times. Here is another:
"The distinction between autumn
and spring wheats has no importance
" All whests are either spring-sown or
autumn-sown. according TO the coun-
try. They all pass from the one state
to the other, as | have ascertained."
''There are some which feel the cold
Of the winter more than the others,
and it has become the custom to sow
them in the spring.
