HONORED BE HEATHENS.
The German JSmperor must have been very much amused when he read the speech of one of the Natives of the Cameroon)) jn proposing the health of the Kaiser at 4 recent festival. The speech was as fpllowsj; “ The Emperor is the wisest and most powerful man in the world. He sees the treasures in the middle of the earth, and he has brought them forth. He. spans the world with iron threads, and as soon as be touches them his words travel over space. He has steamships that sail on dry land. When a mountain stands in his way he bores a hole through it; if a river bars his progress, he builds a street in the air. Though the Emperor is the richest of all men he has only one wife ; and though his wife is the most beautiful woman on earth he had not anything to pay for her.’’
