By a Shareholder. It was a pamphlet, at that date forgotten, but which created much excitement at one time in the financial circles of Paris, of London and of Berlin, having been printed at once in three languages in French, in German and in English on the day after the suit of the 'Credit Austro Dalmate. The dealer's chestnut-colored eyes twinkled with a truly ferocious joy as he held out the volume and repeated: "It is worth four hundred francs."
Instead of enjoying the sunny spring weather of Austro, and the flowers and the bursting buds which an Easter at the end of April often gives, they have to put up with the dreary chill of arid March, and this, absurdly enough, is all on account of a mistaken attempt at accuracy made by the Church some sixteen hundred or more years ago in trying to bring the Christian festival into line with the Jewish Passover.
What concerns Charles the Second, is the subject of our discourse: in the Latin copy it is thus: Deinde ab Austro veniet cum Sole super ligneos equos, & super spumantem inundationem maris, Pullus Aquilæ navigans in Britanniam. Et applicans statim tunc altam domum Aquilæ sitiens, & cito aliam sitiet.
The roads east of Nezmely are variable, flint-strewn ways predominating; otherwise the way would be very agreeable, since the gradients are gentle, and the dust not over two inches deep, as against three in most of Austro- Hungary thus far traversed. The weather is broiling hot; but I worry along perseveringly, through rough and smooth, toward the land of the rising sun.

Carrick Moore and Professor Duncan, that Austro- Columbia was separated by sea from North America during a large part of the Miocene epoch.
"And Hieronymis Janos, who wrote such eloquent proclamations and calls to arms? Kossuth was very fond of him." "He is busy, with Maurice Jokai, preparing a great book upon the Austro- Hungarian monarchy, a book patronized by the Archduke Rudolph.
