From fhe paper entitled "Prussia the Ger man Nation," by Stephen Towers, we quote the following: Trussia has always used a more broadly German and catholic policy than Austria. One of the most notable features of Vienna journalism is tho absurd violence with which every German who was born twenty miles away from that city is attacked as a "for eigner." The great Count von BeusJ, the most astute Premier, and the one who has given Austria the most splendid diplomatic triumphs since Metternicb, was stigmatized as a "foreigner" because he came from Sax ony. Prussia is never unwilling to be re deemed by any man of ability, especially if he is a German; Austria will accept almost any dotard born above the rank of a baron, especially if be is not a German. Austrian statesmen, like poets, are burn, not made. What a world of bitter sarcasm there is in in the words of poor Sommerfeld! "I was in Austria, and had talents, but no pro tection." The looker-on in Vienna is strongly impressed with the fact that while the au thorities have neglected to oroct monuments to Beethoven or Mozart, whose names are known wherever musio has power to tame the savage they have erected one the only one in the city raised in honor of a civilian to Joseph Pessel. And who was Joseph Pessel ? every reader asks in astonishment. Why, he invented the screw, to be sure, by which mighty vessels are propelled across the briny deep. Bee thoven and Mozart did more than any other men who ever lived toward saving that city from the reputation of making the best meer schaums in existenoe, but then they were "foreigners," and Vienna does not know them. If Austria is anything, it is a nation of singers and lovers of good music, but as for maritime matters, it lacks only one port of being hermetically sealed up from the cceanus dissociabilis. Prussia asks only theso questions: Is he capable ? Is he a German ? Indeed, when the great University of Berlin was established, learned men were invited to professorships from nearly the whole civilized world. "Mar shal Forward," Lebrecht von Blucher, was no Prussian, but a Mecklenburger. It was one of the few notable mistakes of Frederick the Great that he did not discern the merits of Blucher; Little did the blunt old soldier think, as he wrote on the back of a paper sent him by an obscure captain of cavalry, complaining of negleot, "Captain Blucher can take himself off te the devil," that he was slamming the door in the face of a man who would afterwards save Prussia. Blucher did net re-enter the Prussian service till Fre derick was dead. Gneisenau, the real planner of Bluchers campaigns, was born in a Saxon barrack. Soharnhorst, the author of the best military system Europe ever saw, was a Hano verian. Moltke, too, the great est of living Prussian soldiers, distinguished scarcely less as the perfeot mas ter of seven languages than as the victor of. sadowa, is a Mecklenburger. The House of Hapsbnrg, being descended on one side from the family of the Guises, is only half German, it is true, but it has shown even less appreciation of German talent than has the House of Bourbon or the wholly Italian family of the Bonapartes. It was Duke , Bernhard von Weimer who added Alsace to France. The great Marshals 8 axe and Schomberg were Germans both: and the gallant Kleber, who was assassinated in Egypt, was an Austrian captain before he was a French general. f Uausmann has done more than any other man to secure France against revolution. Meyerbeer, Kellerman, Weiss, Scholcher are illustrious names from Germany. Even the wholly Slavonio Russia has done greatly more honor to German genius and learning than has the half Slavonio Austria. Kaufmann and Berg are among her most dis tinguished generals, and German professors are found in her universities' by scores, in the most honored places. In a word, then, all indications point to Prussia as Jthe only rightful regenerator and conserver of those Teutonic forces which Austria and the petty princes have so prodi gally wasted. To Prussian statesmen every thing that is German ia exceedingly precious, while every other German government prac tically oo-oporates with France in scattering, dissolving, dividing, and frittering away the noblest inheritance of Europe. In their moral character and in the greatness of their simple earnestness the Germans are worth infinitely more than any other people on the Continent, but Prussia is alone "Great German" and everyone else is "Little German," which is virtually not German at all. "I am a Prus sian" (the first words of the national hvmn) ia to-day the proudest utterance in the lan guage, and Germany will never be at its best till one tongue, and only one, is spoken from the Baltio to the Adriatic. Then, and not till then, will it have a government which will look well to it that no German child shall ever wander away and sink into the unfathom able abyss of practical U nzusemmen gehorigkeit for lack of an education in that language of which Leibnitz says, "at least it is honest."

The ro mantio lyre of Provence bequeathed little or nothing. France and Spain have each a highly characteristic music, but small in quan tity and inferior in depth. The Irish musio has many charms investing an unmistakable individuality. Nowhere, in the ancient days, were bards and poets held in higher honor than among the Irish. Their profes sion was a hereditary privilege, allowed only to members of industrious families; and many of their ballads, whioh were devoted .chiefly to the memory of national achievements, still remain sources of the materials of Irish history. But the legend of St. Patrick, ac cording to which he destroyed three hundred volumes of ancient Irish songs in his zealous determination to root out all antique super stitioBS inconsistent with Christianity once reveals the former national fecundity in sdhg, and reminds us of the present compara tive paucity of Irish folk-musio.- Ireland's melodies are not very many in number, and, though characteristic and often very pleasing. seldom or never reveal much depth of mental or moral experience. England has an un equalled store of ballads, whioh are most de licious poetry and by far the noblest speci mens oi heroic lyrics that any tongue possesses; but the melodies to which minstrels sung them have died out of the popular memory and usage; nor have they been succeeded, speaking generally, by any other folk-songs of musical value. An excep tion is the well-known beautiful air of 'Ben Jonson's song, "Drink to Me only with Thine Eyes" the many efforts to discover the composer of which have been unsuccessful, although it dates only from the last century. England, however, whatever may be its popular musical status now, has had its thriving time of folk-songs and of general musical culture. A song which has descended from about the middle of the thirteenth century presents the first example of secular musio in parts (it was elaborately harmonized in six parts) which has been found in any country. Although a law of Queen Llizabeth pro nounced minstrels to be "rogues, vagabonds, and sturdy beggars," musio seems to have been much esteemed and cultivated during that Queen's long reign. The minor air, "Which Nobody Can Deny," dating from that time, is still popular, and yet flourishes as a street song in London. In Chappell's "Music of the Olden Time," to which work we are indobtod for our specimens of old English song, there are some pages of interesting and curious details illustra tive of the prominence of musio in the six teenth century. Musical abilities were ad vertised among the qualifications of persons wishing to be servants, apprentices, or far mers. An impostor who pretended to be a shoemaker was detected because he could not "sing, sound the trumpet, play upon the flute, nor reckon up his tools in rhyme." Each trade had its special songs, and the beggars also had theirs. The fine whistling of car men became proverbial. Base-viols hung in the parlors for the convenience of waiting guests, and were even played upon by ladies in James reign. No barber-shop was complete without the lute, cittern, and virginals, wherewith custo mers might amuse themselves while waiting their turns. To read music at siprht was an essential in a gentlewoman's education, and late-strings were common New Year's gifts to ladies, "borne idea of the number of ballads that were printed in the early part of the reign of Elizabeth, may be formed from the fact that seven hundred and ninety-six bal lads, left for entry at Stationers' Hall, re mained in the cupboard of the council cham ber of the company at tne end of the year I.jGO, to be tranelerred to the new wardens, and only forty-four books." But however pleasing many of the old English songs may be, however original also, we must recur to our previous statement that, of all countries, Scotland and Germany stand pre-eminent for folk-music; and if we consider not only the number, richness, and oeauty of these songs, but their present vitality in their fatherlands, and indeed all over the earth where men are sensible to refined music, Germany and Sootland appear so to Burpass all other countries in this respect that, in comparison, hardly any other can be said to have any people's-musio at all. The superiority of these two exists, however, with this striking dif ference between them, that the Scottish people's-songs, appear like a case of ar icsted development, since they exist un accompanied by any high art. Notwithstand ing the beauty, the witchery, the originality, and undeniable genius of the Scotch people's musio, Scotland never produced a great com poser or exhibited any soientino musical ac tivity or power; while above the people's songs of Germany towers that wonderful and sublime art with whioh all the world is familiar as the grandest musical expres sion of th human sonl. Between the charms of the Scottish and German peo ple's songs we shall not venture to de cide authoritatively or dogmatically. But, for ourselves, we must own that we find the shadow or the light of every mood of mind and soul reflected in the German music as we find it nowhere else. It plays upon the pulses to quicken or subdue like a beloved face, so complete is the human nature and human life on all its sides, that floats on this wonderful Amazon of melody and harmony. uerinan nie, in its naoits, manners, tastes, and feelings, is a deep calm, partly philo sophic, partly patriarchal. Their most .'popu lous and most busy cities "are quiet haunts for meditation" compared to American or even even English activity. When an intel ligent lady, of simple tastes and poatio cul ture, returned recently from Germany and landed in New York, she remarked that she had not encountered anything during her absence so fatiguing to her whole being, mental and physical, as the mere sight of Broadway; and she assured us that no words could do justice to the contrast between that whirling, dizzy torrent and the limpid repose of Dresden. Goethe says of his grandfather: ''In his room I never siw a novelty. I recollect no form of existence that ever gave me, to suoh a degree, the fuel ing of unbroken calm and perpetuity." Therefore, German music has a serenity nd placid depth, a restfuloess and repose, which come like a voice or memory recalling child hood's home, and fold the rohI again upon the bosom of maternal peace. But German life, too, has been a tragedy, a battle for free dom: the Fatherland has been invaded by Frenchmen, and the young men went to wir. Therefore German people's musio is on nre with fervent patriotism and martial sacrifice. The Fatherland ! the Fatherland I rings like a clarion through it; it is tender and thrilling, too, with the rapture of pas sionate parting, devoted deaths, or glad returns. And in the whole circle of its sub jects and passions, from the quiet contem plation of nature to patriotic and martial pride, there is one thing that this musio always is it is always believing in tone; there is not a skeptical song, not a faithless refrain, not a melody or note of moral indifference or hopelessness in these people's-songs, so far as we have beoome acquainted with them. "In his songs and in his leotnres," it has been said, "the German dreams of making a heaven of earth. A kind of glow is cast over all common things and daily life; . nature is beautiful in the common landscapes of the Fatherland. The hunter's life and the sbng of the shep herd boy; the sleeping babe and the quiet of the night; friendship and companionship; domestio peace and modest content; the de lights of social pleasure and the German beer-mug; the dance and common stories; all these are sung with a certain warm heartiness and cheer, a simple good faith and belief ia human nature and pleasure in things as we find them; a sensitiveness to the lovely side of common things and the exalted side of lowly things, that comes like a benediction to the tired and disappointed, and sings the heart into "leisure from itself," to soothe and sympathize. "One of the most amiable characteristics of German poetry," says a writer, "is its celebration of the domestio affections. Goethe has given us a domestio epio in his 'Hermann and Dorothea,' and Vobb, in his 'Luise,' has produced a popular idyl on the espousals of a oountry parson's daughter. Even Freiligrath softens the musio of his verse when he sings of 'the old pic- ' "THE OiUXY."

From the readable article by Jastin McCarthy on "The King of Prussia" we mark this extract: With the success of Prussia at Sadowa ended King William's personal unpopularity in Europe. Those who were prepared to take anything like a rational view of the situation began to see that there must be some manner of great cause behind such risks, sacrifices, and success. Those who disliked Prussia more than ever, as many in France did, were disposed to put the King out of their consid eration altogether, and to turn their detesta tion wholly on the King s Minister. In fact, Bismarck so entirely eclipsed or occulted the King, that the latter may be said to have dia appeared from the horizon of European poll tics. His good qualities or bad qualities no longer counted for aught in the estimation of foreigners. Bismarck was everything, the King was nothing. Now I wish the readers of the Galaxy not to take this view of the matter. In everything which has been done by Prussia since his accession to the throne, King William has counted for something. His stern, uncom promising truthfulness, seen as clearly in the despatches he sent from recent battle-fields as in any other deeds of his life, has always counted for much. So too has his narrow- minded dread of anything which he believes to savor of the revolution. So has his tho rough and devoted Germanism. I am con vinced that it would have been far more easy of late to induce Bismarck to make compro mises witn seemingly poweri oi enemies at the expense of German soil, than it would have been to persuade Bismarck s master to consent to such proposals. The King's is far more 01 atypical lierman character ( except for its lack of intellect) than that of Bis marck, in whom there is so much of French audacity as well as of French humor. On the other hand, I would ask my readers not to rush into wild admiration of the King of Prussia, or to suppose that liberty owes him personally any direct thanks. King William s subjects know too well that they have little to thank him for on that score. Strange as the comparison may seem at hrst, it is not less true that the en thusiasm now felt by Germans for the King is derived from just the same source as the early enthusiasm of Frenchmen for the first Napoleon. In each man his people see the champion who has repelled tie aggression of the insolent foreigner, and has been strong enough to pursue the foreigner into his own home and there chastise him for his agres sion. The blind stupidity of Austria and the crimes of Bonapartism have made King William a patriot King. When Thiers wit tily and bitterly said that the Second Empire had made two great statesmen, Cavonr and Bis marck, he might have said with still closer accuracy that it had made one great sove reign, miiiam oi Prussia, is ever man attained such a position as that lately won by King William with less of original outfit te "qualify" him for the place. Five or six years ago the King of Prussia was as much disliked and distrusted by his own subjects as ever the Emperor of the k rench was by the followers of the Left. Look back to the famous days when "Bookum Dolff 's hat" seemed likely to beoome a symbo of civil revolution in Germany. Look back to the time when the King's own son and heir apparent, the warrior Crown Prince who since has named aoross so many a field of blood. felt called upon to make formal protest in a public speech against the illiberal, repressive, and despotio policy of his father ! Think of these things, and say whether any change could be more surprising than that which has converted King William into the typical champion and patriot of Germany; and when you seek the expla nation of the change, you will simply find that the worst enemies of Prussia have been unwittingly the kindest friends and best patrons of Prussia's honest and de spotio old sovereign. I think the King of Prussia's subjects were not wrong when they disliked and dreaded him, and I also think they are now not wrong when they trust and applaud him. It has been his great good fortune to reign during a period when the foreign policy of the State was of infinitely greater importance than its domestio management. It became the busi ness of the King of Prussia to help his eoan try to assert and maintain a national exist enoe. Nothing better was needed in the sovereign for this purpose than the qualities of a military dictator, and the King, ia ' this case, was saved all trouble of thinking and planning. He had but to accept and agree to a certain line of policy a certain set of na tional principles and to put his foot down on these and see that they were canted through. For this object the really manly and sturdy nature of the Kino proved admirably adapted. He upheld man fully and firmly the standard of the nation. His defective qualities were rendered inactive, and had indeed no occasion or chance to display themselves, while all thaf wan good of him came into fall activity and bold relief. But I do not believe that the character of the King ia any wise changed. lie was a dull, honest, fanatioal martinet when he turned his cannon against German liberals in 1848; he was a dull, honest, fana tical martinet when he unfurled the flag of i'rnssla against the Austnans in li;ii and against the French in 1870. The brave old man is only happy when doing what he thinks to be right; but he wants alike the intellect and the susceptibilities whioh enable people to distinguish ripht from wrong, des potism from justice, necessary firmness from stolid obstinacy. lint for the wars and the national issues which rose to claim instant decision, King William would have gone on diSFoIviDg Parliaments and punishing news papers, levying taxes without the consent of representatives, and mailing the police officer the master of Berlin. The vigor which was so popular when employed in resisting the French would as suredly otherwise have found occupation in repressing the Prussians. I see nothing to admire in King William but his courage and his honesty. People who know him personally speak delightedly of his sweet and genial manners in private lite; and l have observed that, like many another old m?u tache, he has the art of making himself highly popular with the ladies. There is a celebrated little prima donna as well known in London as in Berlin, who can only spoak of the bluff monarch as der susse Konig "the sweet King." Indeed, there are not wanting people who hint that Qneen Augusta is not always quite pleased at the manner in which the venerable soldier makes himself agreeable to dames and demoiselles. Cer tainly the ladies seem to be generally very enthusiastic about his Majesty when they come into acquaintanceship with him, and to the prima donna I have mentioned his kindness and courtesy have been only such as are well worthy of a gentleman and of a king. Still we all know that it does not take a great effort on the part of a sovereign to make people, especially women, think him very delightful. I do not therefore make much account of King William's courtesy and bonhomie in estimating his character. For all the service he has done to Germany last him have full thanks; but I cannot bring myself to any warmth of personal admira tion for him. It is indeed hard to look at him without feeling for the moment some sentiment of genuine respect. The fine head and face, with its noble outlines and its frank pleasant smile, the stately, dignified form, which some seventy-five years have neither bowed nor enfeebled, make the King look like some splendid old paladin of the court of Charlemagne. He is, indeed, despite his years, the finest physical Bpecimen of a sovereign Europe just now can show. Com pare him with the Emperor Napoleon, so many years his junior; compare his soldierly presence, his manly bearing, his clear frank eyes, his simple and sincere expression, with the prematurely wasted and crippled frame, the face blotched and haggard, the lack-lustre eyes, which seem always striving to avoid direct encounter with any other glance, the shambling gait, the sinister look of the nephew of the great Bonaparte, and you will say that the Prussians have at least had, from the beginning of their antagonism, an im mense advantage over their rivals in the figurehead which their State was enabled to exhibit. But I cannot make a hero out of stout King William, although he has bravery eneugh of the common military kind to suit any of the heroes of the "Nibelungen Lied." He never would, if he could, render any service to lib erty; he cannot understand the elements and first principles of popular freedom; to him the people is always, as a child, to be kept in leading strings and guided, and, if at all boisterous or noisy, smartly birched and put in a dark corner. There is nothing cruel about King William; that is to Bay, he would not willingly hurt any human creature, and is, indeed, rather kind-hearted and humane than otherwise. He is as utterly incapable of the mean spites and shabby cruelties of the great Frederick, whose statue stands so near his palace, as he is incapable of the savage brutalities and indecencies of Frederick's father. He is, in fact, simply a dull old dis-. ciplinarian, saturated through and through with the traditions of the feudal party of Germany, his highest merit being . the fact that he keeps his word that he is "a still strong man who "cannot lie;" his noblest fettune being the happy chance which called on him to lead his country's battles, instead of leaving him free to contend against, and per haps for the time to crush, his country's aspi rations after domestio freedom. Kind Heaven has allowed him to become the cham pion and the representative of German unity that unity which is Germany's immediate and supreme need, calling for the postpone ment of every other claim and desire; and this part he has played like a man, a soldier. and a king. But one can hardly be expected to forget all the past, to forget what Hum boldt and Varnhagen von Ense wrote, what Jacobi and Waldeck spoke, what King Wil liam did in 1848, and what he said in 1801; and unless we forget all this and a great deal more to the same effect, we can hardly help acknowledging that but for the fortunate conditions which allowed him to prove him Belf the best friend of German anity, he would probably have proved himself the worst enemy of uerman aoerty.
