1 E k-1 Vnhappjr Bismarck. Prince Bismarck is reported to have said, "Nobody loves rae for what I have done. I have never made any* body happy, not myself, nor my family, nor anyone else. But how many have I made unhappy? But for me, three great wars would not have been fought. Eighty thousand men would not have perished; parents, brothers, sisters, and widows would if " j sot be bereaved and plunged into mourning. * * That matter, however, I have settled with God. But I have had little or no Joy from all my achievements?nothing but vexation, care, and trouble." Who would care to carry with him the daily burden of a war-maker ??American Advocate of Peace and Arbitration. While "to hia own master every servant standeth or falleth," yet men may and do judge one another for themselves, which however should be r "righteous judgment," lest in judging ^ their fellows they who judge condemn themselves. We confess that to us there is in what Bismarck, (if he is correctly re ported) says, about bis Having -set0 tied with God" something which is so irreverent and bo savors of a settlement between two mutual debtors and eieditors that one may be inclined to think Bismarck in balancing his own books assumed that God's books agreed or ought to agree with his God and Bismark may differ in the way the books of the one and the other are kept. "That which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." If the maker of three great ware, the same man who caused the death of eighty thousand men, and thus ^ plunging parents, brothers, sisters and I|? widows into bereavement and mourn f / ing, has "settled with God" and God <7 has settled with him, then no one should question the settlement. When such a settlement is made with God, who is the only Creditor, a receipt is geneally given, which certi - '? j 11 .-l. I * flee or "jfeace who uou mruugu uui Lord Jesus Christ," rather than " vex' ation, care and trouble." Bismarck has ran ap a long and heavy account with God, and he and other war-makers might do well to get a receipt in Aill and up to the time of leaving, as per telegram order of a reporter to the door keeper of paradise, to open wide the gate for a celebrated war maker ie r . coming to take his seat by the side of ;. / the Prinoe of Peace. i Some one has said, wrongly, we ' think, that without enthusiasm there is no virtue, meaning, it may be suppoeed, that the fervor of youth or the magnetic touch of shoulder to shoulder ?? *Ka* warmth horn of encourasre . . ment and appreciation is essential to moral and religious life in ourselves and to success in our efforts to help others toward the same. Enthusiasm is difficult of preservation. Is it not, in a measure at least, dependent on the electric touch of human companionship, united effort, and the confidence and faith of others in the laborer ? And is not a determined will the best and most lasting enthusiasm ? The warmest natures when thoroughly chilled by unkindness?injustice being the unkindness?harshness, suspicion, loneliness become harder and less responsive than those natures whlchare severe and unloving, just as the lava which comes burning from tk? mnnth of the volcano, wheu cooled, becomes a harder rock than those of other kinds. The critical element predominating in a mind, the power to regard fairly a question from all sides, the spirit of perfect fairness and justice, all tend to lessen enthusiasm?the first named especially. Is it not time that with no special enthusiasm?bating its primary signification?with only an unwaveringdetermination to be true to the highest principles of nature and revelation j and a determination to help our fellows upward we may do not bo badly after all? 1^, Daring an appreciated call ef Rev. W. B. Elk in at the Neighbor office last Saturday be stated that some one had inferred from the notice of his appointment to the chaplaincy of the penitentiary, as made in the Neighbor of February 14, that he had applied for the place, which be said was coc. trary to the fact, that he knew nothing at all about the matter until the chaplaincy was offered him by Superinten" dent Lipscomb. Although we had no thought whatever of misrepresenting the worthy appointee in any respect, and though we think said inference to be illegitimate, yet we make the foregoing statement. Mr. David Moore has entered suit against the Columbia & Greenville Railroad for damage^ in $10,000 for his forcible ejection from a passenger train of the defendaut corporation by its agents, for refusing to pay an excess or fare demanded because he had negIn nnn>hiu> ft t.icbpt. The total number of divorces in the United States during the last 20 years is 328,716. Rev. J. W. Wolling and wife sail for Brazil, March 27. An old geologist pursuing his investigations among the rocks and ledges of a country town was much annoyed by the wicked boys who threw stones at him. He merely picked up the missiles, and, examining them, philosophically remarked: "That is not gneiss," and then went on with his work. > i A young man proposed for the hand of a beautiful girl. As she hesitated, he said, "I await your answer with bated breath." The girl, who is a good deal of a humorist, said, "Well, Mr. M., you will have to bait your breath with something besides high wines to catch your humble servant." Comparatively speaking, in man goodness is everything and greatness nothing. Tboie who never change love their own ways better than the ways of truth. Retaliation is the weapon of bosses, bullies and tyrants; arbitration is the method of scholars, statesmen and i patriots.?Philadelphia Prew. i Japan decides to no longer tax Christian churches. They are thereby 1 placed on an equality with Buddhist < and Shinto temples. A Sayannah Grand Jury refused to J find true bills against parties in that city, charged with fraud and bribery at the late municipal election, al- ' though there was abundant evidence , of their guilt. "Down with the white-livered clergy and the Sunday-schools," was the complimentary motto posted on the wall at a recent brewers' meeting in Sandusky, Ohio. The length of the Mississippi River has always been placed at 4100 miles, but civil engineers familiar with the stream say that it has shortened itself over 400 miles in twenty years, and will do as well in the twenty to come. London, Feb. 23.?A dispatch received from Berlin this morning, says the statement that four German ironclads at Genoa had been ordered to immediately sail for Samoa has been cfiicially confirmed. Berlin, Feb. 23.?. It is officially stated that the German squadron at npnoa has been ordered to Port Said, but tbe National Zeituny announces thai its desliuationia Samoa. The Advocates Op Annexation now propose to invite the Canadian legislators to make a tour through tbe United States, and see thecountry and the people. It is supposed that about four hundred will accept tbe invitation. The Governor has pardoned D. U. Addy, white, of Lexington, who was convicted of manslaughter at the June term of Court there, in 1888, and sentenced by Judge Hudson to two year* in tbe penitentiary. President Cleveland approved the Act of Congress admitting four new Kfatjw into the Union, viz: North Dakota, South Dakota. Montana, and Washington. Each of these new States will be entitled to two of the National Senate, and one Representative in the House, except South Dakota, which will have too. The summer of 1889 is to be distinguished by a Universal Peace Congress to be held iu Paris during the World's Exposition. The Peace and Arbitration Societies of the world meet to confer together and with European statesmen and publicists on the best method of advancinglnternational Arbitration and securing a permanent Tribunal, to which may be refered the national disputes that have hitherto so otten led to war. Our own country will share, and ought to take an influential and responsible part in this good work. It was not Germany, it was not Bismarck, it was nothing but a German trading firm.

The current number of the iVtne* 'eenth Century contains^an article that is of peculiar interest just at this time. It recounts the history of theSamoan troubles, from the time when Bismarck jast an evil eye upon the, then happy islanders until the outbreak of the present revolt against the usurper, ramasese. It is a pathetic story. It shows a gallant people sacrificed to diplomacy ?to the insolence of one great Power and the timidity of two others. It is not pleasant reading for Americans or Englishmen, and ought not to be for Germans. On the whole, the Government of the United States appears to better advantage than that or either of the other powers, but the best is bad enough. Germany, in this affair, has Bimply played the partof the highwayman. England has sometimes complained and sometimes truckled to Germany, but has never taken a really manly stand. The United States has always been on the right side, but has not always had the nerve to enforce her decisions. #?*#*** It is not yet too lute to do our duty hv fiamna t to fulfil our treaty obliga tious, save our commerce from destruction at the hands of a German monopoly, and rescue from oppression the people who have trusted us. It is not a question of fighting. If it were we ******* shot need be fired. All that is necessary is to notify Btamarck that the Saraoans are entitled to govern themselves and that we will see that they have the privilege. The German Chancellor is not a fool. In the present state of European politics he is not hunting up a war, least of all with a power like the United States. A be at Since 1857 when Godefroi and Hons commenced business, German trade and therefore German political influence have centred in Samoa. Malietoa was deeply attached to the English. Treaties had been made by Samoa with the United States in 1878, with Germa uy in 1979, ana wnu i^ugiauu iu August of the same year. In 1884. under pressure, a fresh treaty was made with Germany, practically handing over the islands to that power, which was afterwards disallowed by England and America and repudiated by Malietoa himself as having been extorted by threats. Immediately prior to the execution of this last treaty, and immediately subsequent, Malietoa and his principal chiefs petition the Queen of England to annex 8amoa. The prayer of the petition was refused, but negotiation through New Zealand was continued for a long time. T* nine.
