The question of the annexation of Baden to Prmsia is again on the tapis, and somo recent utterances of tho Prussian General Beyer, who occupies the two posts of Minister of War in the Curlsruhe Cabinet, and Commander-in-Chief of tho Badou army, aro regarded by the nation alist press as signs that tbo consummation of their holies is not so far off as is generally sup posed. Au interesting brochure by M. Gustave Frcytag, cntUled "The Biography of Ilerr Multby "throws' a new ILrht on a 1 important phase or tins question, nerr M:iithy was a Minister iu tho baden Cabinet during 18)6 and 1807, and took a prominent part in tho intrigues of that eventful period. Iu November, 1807. bo addressed a lonif memoir to Count Bunmrck, advo cntimr tho cxtcdlcncy of immediuta annexation, and laying great stress on tho facili ties afforded by tho imperfect state of tho arma ments ot Austria ana rruueu. 110 luijca that, tumid auv consideration of ireneral nolicv n ixkr the" Immediate exocutlon of his project nnadvisable. it would be at least desiralilo that a positive assurance should be given to the lluden Ministry that their endeavors were viewed with lavor at Hornn, in oracr 10 cnuuur mem in heir Prussian iironatranda. Count Bismarck. however, Instructed the Pru.-sian representative to rviirosa his rcirret that the required assurance could not bo given; and, as it is didlcult to per ceive in the events which have takru place since 1W7 anvlptne' of iw'nrs to facHitate the ae- cucr.liskiiiC.at ol lttj" deigus, acd. to induce Count llismarrk to abandon hi policy of prue'enro Mid abstention, it is probihle that tho new liopei of tho luul ui.ilist party arc wiilix'l any bufllcicnt foundation.

I" it wrong to suggest that these long records of subscriptions are n cheap and eney way to that notoriety which so mauy vejik ruiuds desire ? Those who live in constant dread of the "Keds" acquiring supremo power in Paris will be consoled by reading au account given by the correspondent of one of the German papers of the present fashions in that city, from which it appears that the reigning color worn by fashion able people is browu. This color goes by the name of "universal suffrage." Not only dressua, hats, and mantles are brown, but carriages are painted with this fashionable color. The Tyro lese hats, which some gentlemen have taken to, are now ornamented with pheasants' fcathera, parrots' wings, nnd humming-birds' heads. For mourning bluckblrds or ravens, for half-mourning 6w allows or magpies, are worn. One enter prising hatter has contrived to fit these adorn ments with an apparatus for imitating the cry of the bird selected as the appendage. A slight movement of the forehead is suflicient to set the little machine in motion. It is therefore unne cessary to take off the hat on meeting a friend you frown or elevate the brow the bird screams, and this constitutes a greeting, certainly a brown republic would be less trying to the nervos than a red one, and old France with Its cap of liberty and its thirst for olood was far more try ing to tne nerves man modern r ranee ciaa in russet with a bird iu its hat and a borse iu its 6tomach.
