with German statesmen. Read that clause in Bancroft'

Treaty, and see how we have insulted the great German
nation that has been raised up in America. This clause is
also in the North German Treaty :
"Naturalized citizen of one State may be indicted and
punished after returning into the territory of the other
State if he has committed any act threatened with punish-
ment before his emigration, providing the crime has not
become obsolete according to the laws of his original
country."
How does it happen that the German writers and Ger-
man editors—many of them the cleverest men of our na-
tion—have not pointed out this insult to their nationality ?
The New York World has at last got its eyes open to what
I wrote them at the time the first treaty was being signed.
" Observe the practical effect of this. A native of
Munich comes to New York. He is naturalized here, mar-
ried here, goes into business here, prospers, and becomes
in all respects one of ourselves. In the course of his
business, two or three years after his naturalization, he
' is called to make a jonenoy to Canada, or M.ixico, or
Cuba. Six years afterwards, moved by a natural heinzwelt,
or a longing to see the old friends of his youth, or
in the mere pursuit of health or pleasure, he crosses the
Atlantic, and once more sets foot in the artistic capital of
King 'Allis. Under Mr. BAncroft's benign treaty this
citizen, as worthy of protection by the American flag, and
very possibly quite ac useful a member of the American
family as Mr. Bancroft himself, may be seized and forced
into military service as a Bavarian subject, he not having
"uninterruptedly lived during five years in the United
S tates." The World of July.

"My darling Papa—l received your sweet little letter
last week ; I was very glad to hear from you. Elsey and
I are sitting in my room, and I have just taken off my
dress so as to bo as comfortable as possible. Elsey is in
his shirt sleeves too. Aunt Emma and Georgie have gone
to walk on the cliffs. Elsey is as cross as possible, so I
am not in the best of humours. Dear Papa, I expect
when your last letter was written you had not received
my last epistle, which, as a matter of course, was exceed-
ingly interesting. lam so sorry you are in gaol again,
but it is nobody's fault but your own. I cannot under-
stand why you do not come home. We all miss you
dreadfully, papa, dear. Thinking you might like to know
who all wore here this summer, I enclose you a list which
I cut out of the paper.* Elsey has gone off in disgust, so I
am left all alone, which of course I do not relish greatly. Do
come home, dearest papa. You do not know how much we
want you to, or you would scarcely hesitate. I must close
though now, darling papa, but with lots of love and
bushels of kisses. —I remain your loving little daughter,
" SUE BELLE.

head of the Discount Department of tho Bank of England.)

A FATHER MATHEW MAN REFUSES TO BRIBE THE VOTERS
WITH DRINK.

When Nebraska was about changing its relations from
Territory to State, I espoused the State question, and suc-
ceeded in carrying the vote of the people against the politi-
cal leaders who were against me. I was not ambitions to
be a delegate, but wished to make my adopted home a
State, and did.

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN ON WHISKY.—Georgo Francis
Train withdraws from the canvass as a candidate for ter-
ritorial delegate to. Congress from Nebraska, for reasons
which are thus set forth :

.....__ _
" I am told to-day that money is wanted for carriages
to bring up the voters, and to scatter among the beer
shops and groggeries. Any spare money I have, or may
have, I prefer to devote to education and Christian chari-
ties. Purchasing vates debases the franchise and de-
moralizes the people. I. have lectured too often for the
Irish Father Mathew Societies to go back on them by
treating the voters. No wife or little children shall have
reason to complain of a drunken husband or father on
election day on my account. Whisky is the curse of our
time. It is ruining our young men, and hurrying our old
men into the grave. Rich and poor, high and low, alike
are being destroyed under its blighting influence. When
we have fewer breweries, fewer distilleries, and more
Christian churches, more universities, and more schools,
the law courts, the gaols will be lass patronized, and the
world would bo better for it.

Geo. Francis Train, Esq.
My dear Sir,— * * * * The intensely hot weather,
the depression in.business, the droning, do-nothing course
of Congress, and the endless screeches of a Presidential
election make times rather dull with us ; at least I over-
hear that from our counting-room, into which I seldom
have occasion to enter. The Presidential contest is to be
fierce. Both sides are full of confidence ; the sporting
men telling of the many hats, and ;large sums they are
ready to stake on both sides. For my part, had I the club
of Hercules, I would smash them both into pumice, never
again to be restored. We are calling for a new party, 3
people's party, or some kind of party that shall at least
jeopard both, if not defeat them. But there is no leader,
uo chi halo. Our Rome has lost the breed of noble blood,
or never had it, and so every attempt at third-party opera-
tion fails. We know why Grant was nominated,
but Seymour is a mystery, and Blair more so. We
can get as good as they, but they would have
no prestige, at least of the right kind, and nothing could
be done with them. And, besides, we cannot harmonize
between North :and South. The People's Weekly is all
able journal, published in Washington and Baltimore, but
full of negro hatred, and every way behind the nineteenth
century. It would win the South and West by the rebel
claim—or against " negro supremacy," and long and
learned disquisitions in support of negro slavery, and ter-
rible denunciations of John Brown and the Garrisonian
school of abolitionists. But the North, where most strength
and virtue are, will not brook such nonsense, and so much
harmony seems out of the question. And then the "We-
man question" will be a still more disturbing element;
and so prejudice, not principle, proscription, not justice
and equality, will, I fear, hold sway for years yet to come'
We appear to need a new Messiah able to take up the
nation by the four corners, and shake the dust of dark ages
out of it, and spread it out anew. But whence shall We
look for his coming ? or for even his John the Baptist
heralding his approach ? The country is in great comnie-
tion. Strikes among workmen more extensive than even
before; robberies, burglaries, suicides, and assassinations;
railroad and steamboat disasters unprecedented, and gene"
rally through most wanton carelessness ; Washington t
den of forty times forty thieves, its weakness for goo

pulpit, the deadest, dumbest dog of all the kennel ; if this
be not an alembic out of which to distil the millennium'
then it cannot always be true that one extreme follows
another. We keep the revolution bell ringing and
el
whistle blowing as well as we can in the midst
the darkness. In the threatened deluge, if all else geel
under, we hope at least that it shall find its Afoulld.

Spurgeon says to his detriment. As a plain, practical,
straightforward person he detests humbug, and is 9,1'4 t°
shew this in a way his enemies can misconstrue. For /11-
stance, when urging some of his friends to take part in the
approaching political campaign, he was met with the

he burst out with " Why you might as well assert, being
sheep of the Lord,' that it was cannibalism to eat a muttee
chop." Of course, the remark went the rounds of the
papers without the story which gave the meaning to the
point.
