"In unserer Hofgesellschaft unterhält man sich von einer Verlobung aus höchsten Kreisen, die binnen Kurzem stattfinden dürfte. Es heisst, dass der Erbgrossherzog von Baden die Tochter des ehemaligen Herzogs von Nassau, Prinzessin Hilda, als Gemahlin heimführen werde. Angeblich interessirt sich die Schwester des Herzogs, die Königin von Schweden und Schwiegermutter der Schwester des Erbgrossherzogs, besonders lebhaft für diese Verbindung. Man muss abawrten, ob die Gerüchte diesmal besser begründet sind, als vor Jahresfrist, wo sie mit gleicher Bestimmtheit aufgetaucht waren, alsbald aber dementirt wurden." -Berliner Tageblatt, Dienstag, 22 Januar.

"Um grosse Worte sind die Herren von der heutigen Regierungspartei nicht verlegen. Wenn technische Fragen der Gesetzgebung dadurch zu lösen wären, dass man vom nationalen Bewusstsein, vom praktischen Christenthum, vom sozialen Königthum und ähnlichen schönen Dingen in allgemeinen Deklamationen redet, dann würde Solon lauter ebenbürtige Kollegen auf der rechten Seite des preussischen Abgeordnetenhauses finden. Da man technische Fragen aber leider nicht mit Redensarten lösen kann, so sind die oratorisch allerdings höchst wirksamen Herren doch nur im Stande, auf Diejenigen überzeugend zu wirken, die sich dem Verhandlungsgegenstande gegenüber in voller Unschuld befinden."-Berliner Tageblatt.

"Die Franzosen marschirten in Tongking ohne Kriegeserklärung ein, bombardirten Hue ohne Kriegeserklärung, und sind jetzt auf dem Punkte, Bacninh anzugreifen, welches eines der wichtigsten Thore Chinas bildet, abermals ohne Kriegeserklärung. Diese letzteren sind ausser Mode gekommen; Herolde verkünden heutzutage nicht mehr, dass zwischen zwei Ländern Krieg ausgebrochen ist. Es ist wahr, dass bedeutende chinesische Truppenmengen sich in Bacninh befinden, die diesen Platz vertheidigen werden, welchen China als eine der wichtigsten Grenzfestungenansieht.

"Yet in natural advantages France is pre-eminent. Her climate is the finest in Europe, and she has a soil so fertile that not only does she produce oil and wine in abundance, but she stands second to America alone as a corn-producing country. At the same time the people are worse paid, harder worked, more taxed, worse clothed, and worse fed than the same classes are in this country. They are watched far more closely by the police, interfered with far more by Government officials, are subject to a grinding law of conscription, and political liberty, as it is understood in this country, is absolutely denied them."
