The object of Germany at the present moment Is to connect her eastern and eputhwestern African possessions, says tho Quarterly Review. To do this sho !csires to possess tho forest In th basin of tho Upper Congo a region which Is rich In copper. If she could obtain this territory from tho Congo state and a narrow strip of lnd from Portugal she would realize her aim, and If she gets possession of the forests en the Luala'oa and the Katanga cop per mines her colonies may become to her a great source of wealth. England chould definitely make up her mind as to the attitude she will assume toward this policy. If she opposes it Germany vill become a persistent enemy. On 5e other hand, if she supports It Ger many should agree not In any way to Interfere with England south of tho Zambesi and support her heartily in Egypt. The increase of German pros perity at home is also an advantage to us. As Germany becomes richer she will "become a better cuntomer and less jealous of tho political position. Tho wages of German artisans must go up and consequently Germany will b?. Ies3 able to undersell us in thu open mar kets of the world. We have now come to a state of thisfs as regards the German empire when we must either come to terms with It or drift int.i a position which -will certainly lead o danger. The Germans, if they are to maintain their possesions beyond tho eea, must either be sure of the friend ship and good will of England or eleo they will endeavor to break down her power on the ocean. Since the begin ning or this year every corner of tho empire has rung with the most violent denunciation of this country. The newspapers, with the almost solitary exception of the Weser Zeitung, have given expression to feelings of bitter hostility. Organs of opinion usually the most opposed have vied with each other in their violence of lan guage. This ill feeling to Great Brit ain, as we have said, has not been m growth of recent times. It is now btrengthened by a growing conviction that the position of England in the world is undeserved, artificial and cannot be maintained if it Is seriously menaced. This view has been fostered by distinguished historians and men of letters, who exercise a powerful Influ en:e on the youth of the country, on the guides of public opinion, on writers In the principal periodicals and jour nals who indirectly shape the policy of the cheap newspaper, which is the gos pel cf Use village inn. 6 6 L 6 C 6 6 t 6 6 6 6 t t ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? S Editors of The Sombrero. Repellns Rifle. The king of Denmark's "sort of new Invented guns, which belns but once charged will discharge many times, one after another," in 1657, would seem to have had rivals about the same period. Pepys twice refers to such. On July 3, 1662. when "at the Dolphin -with the officers of the ordnance, after dinner was brought t.3 Sir. W. Compton a gun to discharge 6even times, the best of all devices that ever I saw and very serviceable, and not a bawble, for it if much approved of, and many thereof made." And on March 4. 1663-4, he mentioned "a'new fashion gun to shoot often, one after another." Notes and Queries. The Bateball ritcher. The famous base ball pitcher had walked the floor with the youngest of his family for an hour or so. "Mary," said he, "if the manager saw me now, I bet I'd get soaked with a fine."
