Kaiser Wilhelm beiin Diniren 

 In Ei"furt zur Manuverzeit, 

 Gedachte ohne Renomiren, 

 Des Tags wo Preussen zich befreit 

 Yon dem Drucke des Corsai'en, 

 So schwer gefuhlt in friihern Jahren. 

 Hier in Erfurt stand iai Bunde 

 Einst vereint ein Kaiser Paar, 

 Dessen Ytilker jetzt zur St uncle 

 Drohen uns mit Kriegsgefahr. 

 A has la Prnsse, d la batalUe 

 Rufet laut und lauter die Canaille. 

 I'rieden wird uns doch erhalten 

 Trotz der Radikalen Schrein, 

 So lange weise Manner walten 

 AYird vom Krieg nicht Rede sein. 

 Anarchisten miissen schweigen 

 Und der Ordnung sich verneigen. 



Seht auf Carnot, wie bedachtig, 

 Freycinet, Constans stimmen bei, 

 Ribot spricht auch gar so priichtig 

 Was fiir belle France das Beste sei ; 

 Vive la France, vive la Hus^ie ! 

 Zur Alliance kommt es doch nie. 

 Bei Kronstadt kam's zur Briiderschaft 

 Zwischen Tzar und Democraten, 

 Des mots polls, so zweifelhaft, 

 Yersprechen keine ernste Thaten ; 

 Zum schonen Ton der Marseillaise 

 Tanzt Russland niemals die Fran^*aise. 

 So lasst uns unsere Zeit nun spenden 

 In Dem was Deutschland Starke bringt. 

 Den Blick auf seine Einheit wenden, 

 Gott gebe ! dass dies stets gelingt. 

 Hoch lebe Deutschland, hoch sein Heer! 

 Des Friedens Stiitze, des Kaisers Ehr.

Univeesity Extenstox Lectures. — These Lectures were resumed on October 5, in 

 the large hall of the Bedford High School for Girls, and promise to be a remarkable 

 success. The lecturer was Mr. E. L. S. Horsburgh, B.A., and his subject " The French 

 Ke volution." 



The Cameea Club. — Some of our readers interested in 2)hotographic work may be 

 unaware that a Society, having for its object the advancement of Photography as an art 

 and science, holds periodical meetings in the side room of the Library, and by means of 

 papers by experts, lantern exhibitions, and excursions to places of interest in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Bedford, offers great attractions to amateurs and others. As the subscription 

 is only 5s. per annum for ordinary members, and Is. per term for boys attending the 

 Schools, the Club ought rajDidly to attain popularity. Deputy-Surgeon-Major Beaman is 

 the President, and Mr. A. Kirby, junr. and Mr. C. Perrott Smith the Hon. Secretaries.
