FEMALE INFLUENCE.
BY MRS. p. w. BALL,

1t has been asserted by great French writer,
that women form the character of a nation. Ma
poleon said. the mother formed the man. If this
be true, the importance of early female culture
is too obvious to need pointing out to the most SUI
perficlal observer of national character. 1t has
been conceded on all sides, that nearly all the
eminent men, eminent either for good or evil,
have had mothers to whose training they owe
that eminence. The mother of Washington is
brilliant modern example of maternal influence,
wisely and judiciously exerted, producing the
most glorious result. She pointed the son to a
high aim; she taught him that virtue and great
ness are synonymous; that moral courage is the
soul OF physical bravery; that discrimination and
ialsehood are incompatible with true greatness.

lion, the lustre OF whose name will live SO long
as our Republican States exist, broad shrine ior
the worship of freedom. If then the greatest as
well as the brightest example OF woman's forming
influence existed with us, in our own happy land,
why is not the cultivation of that power as highly
esteemed as it should be by our own fair country
women! In no country, perhaps IN the world
where Christianity is taught, is woman so iitile
sensible OF her vast powers and influence as IN tle
American States. The reason OF tins IS obviously
because women here are domestic IN their habits
beyond those of other countries, and do not MN
gle IN public assemblages AT the iIre-slde is the
stronghold OF her powcr-thcre is that influence
dillused and felt, while she who exercised it, is
totally unconscious of the great momentum to-
wards good or evil, she is giving the growing
characters around her. Could they know that
upon them devolved the responsibility OF making
men virtuons or otherwise, how lightly would
they deem mere external decoration, that only
catches the eye and imagination OF the other sex,
IN comparison to the cultivation oil mind, that
controls and influences them. II has been SAID
by an eminent anthor, that the color OF a nation $
morals IS lmblbed from its women. ii ihls be the
case, Americans should be less corrupt than all
nations, Tor certainly their women are, as yet,
more modest and religious than those OF any
other country. Among us, the marriage tie has
ever been regarded sacred, and society scrnly
frowns down its yiolaor.
In other countries some females, with the dar-
ing ambition that characteristics strong intellects,
when combined with undisciplined passions, have
avowed themselves infdels, and striven to shine
as stars in the hemisphere Of metaphysical philo-
|sophy; but where, in all America, with an extra
ordinary exception, can the traveller point to an
atheist woman? and that exception has sunk too
low even to attract the finger Of scorn.-lary-

The Sugar Beet, will be cultivated to a consi
derable extent in this country, not merely for
the purpose Of making sugar, but as food for ami
mails. The yield to an acre is enormous, avera-
ging from twenty-five to thirty tons. The soil is
benefited by it, as in France, where many poor
pieces of land have been resuscitated after beets
have been planted few years, the soil yielding
excellent wheat. Nothing is lost from this plant.
The leaves are used i'll France as green fodder.
The pumice after being used for sugar, is excel
lent for all kinds of animals One hundred
pounds of Beet will yield seven pounds Of sugar,
giving at twenty tons to the acre, product OF

UNITED STATES CONSULATE,
Bremen, September 5, 1896

Bremen, September 5, 1896.
Sir: have the honor to acknowledge the re-
cept of your esteemed circular Of the 7h Of July,
1896, requesting information respecting deporta-
ton of paupers from Great Britain and other
places, &c. | am sorry that the information de-
sired is not to be procured from authentic sources
for, properly speaking, it cannot be said that pau
pers are deported from Germany, though it may
sometimes but very rarely be the case that fami-
lies, almoners, and civil authorities, in order to
get rid Of burdensome fellow or troublesome sub
ject, pay what is necessary for such person to
cross the Atlantic. But among the German emi-
grants, great number of whom annually embark
at this port, and who nearly all go to the United
States, there are many persons and families who,
when they have paid for the passage, have little
no money left; and probably many of them, on ar
irving in the United States, quite destitute of
all. The different Governments of Germany are
in general not much pleased with the spirit of en-
igration since several years predominant in Ger
many, and, as is said, try by all means to keep
their subjects at home. The emigrants very Of
ten loudly and bitterly complain that the said Go
vcrnments, before they give to people the permis-
sion to depart put as many obstacles as possible
in the way Of the persons who intend to emf
CRATE. Such emgrants, as | hear, must usually
prove to their Governments that they have money
for their passage; the said Governments being
afraid that the emlgrants may, by travelling, use
lessy spend their little fortune, and then return.
and come on the charge of the community: and
the emgrans are therefore obliged to renounce
and give up all their rights natives Of the
country. After the emigrants have got the per-
mission to emigratc and set out then their former
Governments do not further care for them.
The letters or circulars addressed to the United
States consuls at Hamburg, Munich, Leipsic and
Casse, which were sent to me with the said cir
cular of 7th July last, enclosed in the same enve-
lope, have Immediately been put into the post
office.
