Germans Everywhere.
Whore is the German Fa,herlana?'

" more ID the tcclnan FutnGiiiEH
1t would be interesting if one could give
comprehensive answer to the question by trav.
cling around the world, and taking glance
at the German settlements on it's surface. If
we began at the right place, it might be prob
ably effected by going from ono German place
to dRothcr, by water and land in German ships,
without interruption, around tho world, and
it is one great Germany only little diluted.
From Hamburg wo could sail in German
ships to New York where Germans swarns by
/ scores of thousands. From this point we
could go from one German village to another,
in every State, through the Indian Territory
itself, to San Francisco Deep in the interior
of North America one would discover unsus-
pected and unheard of German Villages among
fields of golden grain, and towards the south
among vineyards. In San Francisco one can
lodge comfortably in German hotels, read
German journals, sing German songs in Ger
man clubs, and drink the Bavarian bcer--un-
less one prefer the California German wine
1t was from San Francisco that German
sent the first ship to the mouth of Anson riv-
er, in Siberia; aud there will probably be in
the course of ten years, opportunities to sail
in German vessels to Japan, China or the An
son territory
In China there are more or less German
business houses and cafes, and it is possible to
travel from the Pacific to st. Petersburg, SO
that there are frequent opportunities to speak,
sing and drink with Germans. What is not
yet will come; that is to say, the belt around
the earth Of German social aud educational
influence.
No other nation has had such cohesive
power and hold as this productive and intel
lectual race. The English, who stretch out
| their commercial fleets like the arms of a pol
ypus around the earth, have in most Of their
colonies only an enforced, superficial hold,
wrung and sustained by the strong hand of
ships f.war, cunning and power, which they
win and strive to hold by war and violence,
without really gaining aught.
The Germans have established themselves
everywhere, singy or in small sequcstcred
groups, and conquer only by industry, aptness,
and bodily or intellectual power Even in
their gymnastics, shooting and song festivals,
held here and there, they must exert an indu-
ence not without its value.
There is an indescribable charm in cultiva.
ted German ability, especially in the German
| song as sung by educated men. Even those
who do not understand the words arc charmed
by the melody and expression.
German teachers of music and song arc cs.
tccmcd and welcomed all the world over, and
with them Germans have in many branches
of art and manufacture almost a monopoly,
simply because they really excel in them.
Cosmopoitc Germany is destined to have a
largo share in influencing culture throughout
the world.

The Importance of Good Education

[ consider human soul, without cduca.
tion like marble in the quarry ; which show
none of it's inherent beauties until tho skill
Of tho poishcr fetchcs out tho colours, makes
| the surface shine and discovers every orna-
mental cloud spot, and vein, thatruns through
the body of it. Education after the same.
wien it works upon noble mind draws out
to view every latent virtue and perfection,
| which, without such helps, are never able to
make their appearance.
If my reader will give me leave to change
the allusion 30 soon upon him, shall mako uso
Of the samo instance to illustrate the force Of
education which Aristotle has brought to ex-
plain his doctrine of substantial forms, when he
| tells US that statue lies hid in block Of
marble; and that the art Of the statuary only
clears away tho supcrhuous matter, and re-
moves the rubbish. The figure is in the
stone, and the sculptor only finds it. What
sculpture is to block of marble, education
is to human soul. Tho philosopher, the
saint, or the hero, the wise, tho good, or the
great man, very often lies hid and concealed
in plebeian, which proper education might
have disintcrred, and have brought to light.
I am therefore much delighted with reading
tho accounts of savage nations; and with
contemplating those virtues which arc wild
and uncultivatcd; to sec courage cxerting it.
self in ferceness, resolution in obstinacy,
wisdom in cunning, patience in sullcnncss and
despair.
1t is an unspeakable blessing, to be born in
those parts Of the world where wisdom and
knowledge flourish. Those who have had the
advantages Of moro liberal education, rise
above one another by several different degrees
of perfection. For, to return to our statue in
the block of marble, we see it itsometimes only
begun to be clipped, sometimes rough hewn,
and but just skctchcd into human figure !;
sometimes we see the man appearing, distinct.
ly in all his limbs and features, sometimes we
find the figure wrought up to great elegancy (;
but seldom meet with any to which the hand
of Phidias or Praxitcles could not give
several nice touchesand fhishings.---Aadison.

The Vinton record. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1866-1891, 1867-11-21

The LacoD Illinois Statesman
has at the head OF its columns:
"For President in 1868, GLEN.
ENT L. VALLANDiGHAM, of Ohio,
subject to the decision Of the
National Democratic Conven.
ton" This genuine Democrat
ic organ goes on to lay down
the platform, upon which the
"great man" is to run, which
reads: redemption of Govern.
ment Bonds in Greenbacks, or
Reputation. White Suprem.
-acy, State Sovereignty, and
Federation are the Foundation
Pillars of the American Re.
public" Such a candidate and
such a platform would without
doubt. represent the true sen.
liments of the Democracy, but
whether they will have the
courage to make a declaration
in favor OF. them is very doubt
full. -....

Senatorial Contest.

Subpoenas are in the hands
of officers for witnesses in the
above case. Esqrs MARK and
MCDOWELL will be in session on
the 22d to take a few deposi-
tlons in the matter Of the con.
test. ., .. ....
We learn that Mr.. ONDER-
DoNK has closed his depositions.
He took a few in Lawrence
county, and some in Gallla-
more in Meigs and Vinton.
He founded his contest upon
q Statute passed in 1859, but
which was repealed in 1865;
a Statute that deprived persons
having a "visible admixture" of
African blood Of voting. Mr..
o. had hoped that the Senate
would set at naught the decis-
ions Of The Supreme Court, and
upon this Statute throw out a
number Of votes cast by this
class OF persons. Since the
Gallipolis Journal has furnished
him and his Attorneys law up
on this matter they have less
heart for the contest, and as
we suggested last week, we
think Mr.. o. and his friends
shave put their foot in it."
If the Senate holds that per-
SONS of "distinct and visible ad-
mixture Of African blood" are
not legal voters, Mr.. o. has
probably a case; but if they
hold with the Supreme Court
of Ohio, that persons having a
predominance OF white blood
are voters, Mr.. O.'s favorite
Statute being repealed, has no
show at all. .'...
