by appeared an engraving of the
celebrated reconciliation scene be-
+ tween the present emperor and his
greater subject, while all around were
festooned the flags of Columbia and
the fatherland. AT numerous tables
sat the scores of jovial guests. Beer
was present also, and tobacco smoke.
AS the former descended the latter
arose, and amidst the combined
aroma even the stern visaged por-
trait was more than once seen to
smile with qualification. Imported
postals bearing in German printed
messages of congratulation to the
man of the day were scattered about,
and many were signed and sent on
their way to rejoice the heart of
the postmaster
AT FREDERICKSBURG
Charles Passavant called the ASSEM-
blage to order, and invited Adjt
Gen. Nuremberg to preside In &C
cepting the chair, Gen. Nuremberg
said:
Every country has it's hero
France, her Napoleon; Switzerland,
her William Tell; Ireland, her st.
Patrick; America, her Washington;
so Germany has her Bismarck.
America is our bride, whom we love
and honor; to whom we have offered
our lives and our untiring devotion.
But with tonight's celebration we are
honoring our mother country, the
land of our origin. The pride we
now have in Germany is justly great.
That 1t is deservedly so is due to the
giant labors of Prince Bismarck.
Through him has that mighty empire
been created, and through him is it
possible for the Germans in Amer
lea to appreciate the high honor of
being German. Therefore, gentle
men, let us drink to the health of
the creator of Germany" At once
every one arose to his feet, waved
aloft a foaming beer, and with re-
sonant German emphasis gave forth
three resembling ''hochs.''
Straka's orchestra then began
''Der Wacht Am Rhein;" all voices
Joined in the noble, majestic hymn;
and SUCH was the national trans
formation that one might easily con-
ceive that the old-fashioned hall
overlooking the Mississippi was the
garrison mess room of some German
fortress above
THE ANCIENT RHINE:
and that the opposite bluffs of our
peaceful West Side were the hostile
shores of revengeful France.
The general introduced DIR. Justus
Ohage, whose humorous remarks were
productive of much laughter. AS he
demanded another series of ''hochs'
for the man of ''blut und eisen," he
suggested that the 1873 members of the
reichstag who voted recently against
the resolution of congratulation ought
to come. over to America and learn to
love the greatness of their fatherland.
Gustav Won Goetzen approved the
objects of the meeting, and thanked
the committee in charge for their eff
cient arrangements upon short notice.
Again did the glasses go up and the
beer go down.
Der kleine Deutcher KAISER was
next congratulated by Dr.. Gottfried
Stamm, in that he had so successfully
atoned for his early mistake in being
the first to nobly relent and to grant
the aged statesman the warmest and
fullest recognition Of the mighty sery-A
ices he had performed for Germany.

enjoyment, but the first relay of wait

George Benz invited all present to

birthday and offer the old man their
combined congratulations. Then the
chairman arose to state that the fol-
