follow its careless use. From many

tention preyed upon the looks of our
grounds fences and buildings; but
noAV a feAv strokes ot the carpenters
hammer and a feAV touches of the
painters brush will reviA'e the ap
pearance of all to such an extent, as
to almost cause us, to forget the din-
giness and broken condition of a few
Aveeks ago. Now as this improve
ment is being made Avhy cannot it be
kept thus? Will it cost any more to
keep a feAv hands constantly employed
and thus keep this good appearahee,
than to utterly neglect it for a long
and then upon the verge of some

portion this is no small task. Long
do they sit and gaze with empty ex
pression at their ink bottle and every
noAV and then redip their pen into the
Avriting fluid as though to pen an idea,
but no, then again they stare and
wonder Avhat to Avrite. Theirs is a
lamentable state. Poor boys they
need all the sympathy that they cau

weak from illness that he had to be
carried in from his carriage by his
ser vants in Availing. With these ex
ceptions, the members of tbe Congress
appeared to be in most excellent
health and spirits. After some un
important routine business incident
to the occasion had been carried out,
Bismarck arose and made a brief ad-
dres*, in the course of wli ch he cast
a retrospective vieAV over the Avork
performed by the Congress, alluding
to its importance as regarded the in
fluence of its deliberations and decis
ions on the future Avelfare of Europe.
In closing his address, the Prince
requested the members to proceed at
once to sign the document they had
agreed upon, stating that there AA’ere
seven copies, oue for each of the
Governments represented at and tak
ing part in the Conference.
Immed ately, all of the distin
guished delegates, except Prince
Gortschakoff, who remained sealed
in his Council chair, proceeded to
the room occupied by the Secretaries.
In this room the members found
seven copies of the treaty spread out
on a large tabic, signing these dupli
cate document? Avas a somewhat
tedious ceremony, as it occupied
nearly an hour, the delegates mean
while exchanging mutual compli
ments aud distributing photographs to
each other Avith their respective ^auto
graphs. The treaty being signed
and the Congress reassembled in
their official chamber, Prince Bismarck
made a closing speech, at half-past 3
o’clock, expressing his high sense cf
gratification and satisfaction at the
auspicious issue of their momentous
deliberation for the preservation of
peace J throughout ‘Europe. Coupt
Andrnssy in the name and behalf of
the Congress thereupon heartily
thanked Prince Bismarck for the effi
cient manner in wiiicli lie had presid
ed over their sessions, and as the
Count did so, all,(.he delegates rose
in acknowledgment, even Prince
Gortschakoff struggling to his feet,
Avith the assistance of Lord Odo
