marek resigned. The Kleine Journal says; **We can celebrate the anniversary of Bis- marck’s retirement joyously, seeing that since he has left the control of affairs he has succeeded in mixing the cards and creating nu nerous difficulties for the Gov- 4 ernment. During the interval several min- isters have retired, Dr. Von Boetticher is disgraced, Dr. Windthorst is de d, and the Prince himself is about to reappear in the Reichstag acclaimed by a powerful combin- ation.” The Boersen Courrier holds that the year’s developments have lowered Bis- marck in the eyes of the country, and says : **It would have been better had the ex- Chancellor not alienated bis admirers by his methods of eombatting the Govyern- ment,”

The Pope’s brief to the leaders of the Centrist party in eulogy of Dr. Windthorst exhorts the Catholic party to follow in the footsteps of their dead leader and to remain united for the prosperity and glory of their land and the church. Cardinal Ktampolla, papal secretary of state, and other cardinals and prelates gratified the German Catholics in Rome a day or two ago by assisting at the services in iemory of Dr, Windthorst, celebrated in a German church at Rome in the presence of a throng of Germans and Anstrians. Archbishop Kopp has been called to Rome to consult with the Vatican on a question of a choice of leader. . The Archbishop will probably be himself commended by the Vatican to succeed Windthorst, as being the most skill- ful tactician and the abl st negotiatorin the Centre party.

The German Government continues its efforts to draw Italy into a European zoll- verein against the protection‘st states. In the present state of Italian politics and finances, however, this government hesitates to respond to Germany’s offer, being doubtful of the wisdom of sacrificing her trade with France and America, which in 188° amounted to $55,000,000, for the con- stantiy declining trade of Germany and Austria, which amunted to only $35,000,- 000. The Italia thinks the coming con- ference between German and Italian rail- road officials will be the first step toward a zollverein .

After the ' marriage service, the gvests, including only ‘the immediate relatives of the principals, repaired to the dining room, and sat down to the wedding feast, after which converaa- tion and music were the order of the even- ing. ‘The presents were very beautiful, in- cluding a silver fruit dish, from Zion 'Chureh Choir, of which the bride was a ‘member.

A federation meeting at Queenstown, on Sunday last, was addressed by Messrs. Timothy and Maurice Healy, William Lane and other members of Parliament. The different speakers met with a very hearty reception. Mr. Timothy Healy in his speech asked where Mr. Parnell’s impudent challenge was now. For two days they had been engaged in hallaving, but had failed to make the fox break cover. He had understood that the delay had arisen from Mr. Parnell’s going to Brighton to see alady. Mr. Parnell had not got permis- sion from this Brighton banshee. Parnell’s followers complained that the challenge was impolite. But his opponents did not address Mr. Parnell as a persouage who ought to be sued and wooed. Mr. Parnell had broken 3 solemn pledge in a shameless manner.
