as

emperor, the

reichstag as its legislative power and the magician Bismarck as chancellor and ruling spirit.

This history is so recent and so brilliant TT1 that we canflot even now appreciate the wonf: der and practical importance of a united Italy and a consolidated Germany. At the head of lYassia were the Iiohenzollerns, the family

Of the great Fredericks, who had already raised Prussia from a mere electorate to a leading kingdom and have since 1805, by the geuiiiKof Bismarck and his supporters, and §Jhe valor of Prussian soldiers, driven Austria T^lfrom her headship and made a North German *ampire. In October, 1862, Otto Edward .Leopold- Bismarck was made premier of ^Prussia, with almost absolute control of foreign affairs and he at once entered on his great work of unification. In 18(55 it Sehleswig- Holstein was annexed to Prussia.

In 1866 Prussia and Italy made war on Austria. The great battle of Sadowa annihilated the latter's power in Germany, and Ihe result j|ge I' was the annexation of Loiubardy and Venice in the now kingdom of Italy, and of Nassau,

Hesse-C-assel and Frankfort to Prussia. The adhesion of Saxony soon followed.» One ?P\- Hohenzollern prince Was placed on the throne lil} «f Rouniania and another proposed for king ^1 of Spain. Then Louis Napoleon interfered and

He was given a check for that amount, which was carried in due time to one of tho banks.

IUCHTER TAKING NOTES.

Alsace and Lorraine, which France had taken from Germany two centuries before, were annexed to Prussia, and on Jan. 18, 18J1, King William, victorious from the beginning of the war, was proclaimed emperor of Germany at Versailles, the old residence of the French kings. Three men now wielded the destinies of Germany and dictated t.ho politics of contral Europe—Emperor William, Count Von Moltke as head of the military establishment, and Bismarck as chancellor of the em piro. But there were many internal troubles to deal with. There was and is a strong party in favor of- a more liberal government, another for peace and free trade, and still another for a general overturning of existing institutions, while the ever present discontent of the laboring classes shows iu constantly shifting phases. A religious question was first dealt with. The powers of the pope in regulating the Catholic liver archy in Germany were challenged, aiid from 1873 to 1880 the complications were numerous. Then peace was made, and at the recent elections the priests supported the policy of Bismarck. The Socialists threatened trouble, and the empire was never quite free from ap prehensions of renewed tronbl« with At length affairs took on sucha threatening aspect that Bismarck asked of the reichstag enlargedjjowers in strengthening the army .. and a bill to organize it for seven years, with many details. To this his opponents gave the name of the aeptennate. It was,, defeated in the reichstag. So the chancellor is solved that body and ordered a flew election. Heir

CHICAGO'S NEW NOBLEMAN.

The Delight of the City Over the Knighting of Mr. Pullman. Never since the great fire of 1871 has Chicago society been so profoundly agitated as it was yesterday when it became noised about that King Humbert of Italy had created our esteemed fellow townsman, Col. George M. Pullman, a knight of the first water. At first grave doubts as to the genuineness of the report were indulged, but when later in the day it became known that the rumor was credited at the headquarters of the Italian legation, the joy of the public burst all restraints and manifested itself in every variety of ebullition.

Col. Pullman is, we believe, the first citizen of Chicago who has been honored in so distinguished a manner by royalty. It is true that the shah of Persia craved the boon of investing tho Hon. Frederick H. Winston with the order of the Yellow Dromedary, but the negotiations fell through as soon as the eminent American diplomat declined to advance tho shah the 10,000 golden pistoles which hi3 serene majesty expected as an evidence of Mr. Winston's good faith in the premises. /V

In spite of these'facts which We have stated it is true that Mr. Pullman is the first citizen of Chicago to be recognized and honored by a crowned head of Europe. As near as we can come to it, Mr. Pullman's elevation to knighthood was brought about in this wise: Last year he made a tour through Italy, and when ho reached Naples he called upon King Humbert and made a formal complaint touching the railroad facilities with which his majesty's kingdom is and always has been cursed. His majesty was struck at once with the learning, the eloquence, the earnestness, the sang froid and the suaviter in inodo of the petitioner, and he besought him to suggest an improvement, if he could, upon the system of travel then in vogue. Thereupon Mr. Pullman caused to be made by the Herculaneum and Pompeii Manufacturing company (limited) a palace sleeping coach, which he presented to King Humbert, with his compliments, demanding no recompense for the distinguished gift further than tho privilege of appointing and controlling the porters for said car. The grateful potentate readily granted this request, for ho was charmed, positively delighted with the luxurious innovation introduced by the enterprising American. For tho next six months FTing Humbert did nothing but travel around the chanccs are that he would be traveling still if he had not been compelled to suspend operations until after the senate voted him another appropriation. At the end of the six months the long found himself out of pocket about 1,500,000 lires, and about this time Mr. Pullman's porter in Naples, one Glacomo Fiozzo, began buying corner lots and erecting ten story apai^ment buildings on the principal Neapolitan thoroughfares. Kings, however, are liberal folk, and well can they afford to bo, even when dealing with a Chicago business man. So when King Humbert fell to thinking of all tho pleasures (not to say benefits) ho bad derived from his six months' experience in Mr. Pullman's coach, he paid not even tho tribute of a passing thought to tho financial outlay involved, but rather set his wits to work at inventing somo moans whereby he might further distinguish the gentleman whom he viewed in the light of a benefactor. The result is this elevation of Mr. Pullman from the ranks of the hoi polloitothe dignity and the title of a mar' chese, which in the Italian tongue corresponds to the knighthood of Great Britain, the booyars of Russia and the flambustules of Siam.

THE GAZETTE: TERRE HAUTE INDIANA, THURSDAY, MARCH 31,1887*

Big. Pietro Casa del Comma, secretary of the Italian legation in this city, tells us that when tho official communication from his majesty reaches Chicago it will become the duty.of tho consul at this point to proceed at once to Mr. Pullman's palatial residonco on Prairie avenue, and there, in. tho presence of the Italian legation and in the nam© of his Catholic majesty, to dub Mr. Pullman a marchese or (as Mr. Pullman may prefer to be called) a chevalier. Sig. del Comma says that "marchess" is pronounced "mar-kee-sy," and that "chevalier" is pronounced "shee-val-ya." Wo are inclined to think that markeesy sounds just a trifle more high toned than sbeevalya, and we hope that Mr. Pullman will choose that title.

Sig. del Comma tells us furthermore that one of the first things the Markecsy Pullman will have to do will bs to chooso a coat of arms, for a markeesy without a coat of arms would be an anomaly which the Italian potentate could not well endure. With a view to relieving the markeesy of much anxiety and labor the signor has compiled a coat of arms which he will submit for tho markeesy's approval and adoption. A copy of this is given-above.

It Made a Difference.

In the early days of Denver good ^leaoon Smith used to preach at the meeting house when tho congregation was too poor to pay for a preacher, which was about nine months out of the twelve. On a certain Sunday somebody rushed past the church door crying, "Firo!" just as the deacon had reached the point where he intended to clinch his remarks. A dozen or more of the congregation rose and made for the door. "Do not leave the house of God in this unseemly manner," thundered the deacon. "But," said a man at the door, "it's your house, deacon." "Then run, run, for God's Bak# taint insured!"—Denver Republican

ON THE INDIAN RIVBB, Fla., —.£• How little is known of Florida, still it is one of the largest states of the Union in size, and it is growing as fast as any state of the south. It was one of the first parts of America discovered, and settlements were made upon it when the country west of the Alleghanies was a wilderness. Yet for 300 years it remained practically unknown, and to-day there are parts of it almost as unexplored as I the valley of the Congo. Florida is the Italy of America.* It is a long, narrow peninsula I running into the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the Atlantic on the other, bounded on the top by Georgia, and having along handle reaching over under the state of Alabama. It contains 58,000 square miles, and is nearly once and one-half the size of Ohio, eleven times as large as Connecticut and forty times as big as Rhode Island. You. could put Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New

Hampshire, New Jersey and Delaware in Florida and have room for half a dozen Rhode Islands to spare. It is larger by Massachusetts than New York and larger by New Hampshire than Louisiana.

It is 700 miles from its western end down to its termination at the south, and its average breadth is less than 90 miles. Its surface is level and its highest point is only 300 feet above the level of the sea. It has thousands of miles of navigable rivers, one of which, the St. John's, runs 400 miles north ward.and it has numerous lakes, one of which, Lake Okechobee, is the largest fresh water body wholly in any one state of the Union, and which covers 650 square miles of ground. The climate of Florida seldom goes below SO dogs, in the winter and not above 90 degs. in the summer, and the average mean temperature of the state is 73 degs. To-day is early in March, and the air is so hot in our special car that we have perspired sitting with open windows and without overcoats in a train going at the rate of thirty miles an hour. I am told that most of the winter is as warm as an Ohio June, and I never found pleasanter weather than that we had sailing up the St. John's river. ...

'I'lia St. John's is a wonderful stream and it ean-ies one back to the stories of the Missisiu Slavery days. 1 had imagined it a narrow, swampy creek rather than one of the mighty rivers of tho continent, and I was surprised to find it in many places wider than the Nile at Cairo, and to be told that it carried a body of water equal to the Amazon. This must, however, be an exaggeration. With its branches it affords 1,000 miles of navigable water trsuisportation, and it is 400 iriles long.

The Indian river country, on the east coast of Florida, is another splendid orange raising region, and at one of the hotels-where we stopped, the Indian River hotel, at liockledge, we found a wire basket holding two bushels of oranges on the counter, and a placard over it labeled, "Exclnsively for the use of our guests." This basket is kept always full, and it is free to all who stop at the hotel. The backwardness of Florida in manufacturing is shown in the fact that most of the boxes hi which this immense crop of oranges is sent north are brought here from Maine. They are brought in pieces ready to be nailed together* and are sent north again filled with fruit. We saw bales of these boxes on some of the wharves, and saw the negroes picking the oranges and packing them away for market.
