EMIGRATION FROM GERMANY. The Ber-
lin correspondent of the New York Herald

EMIGRATION FROM GERMANY The Ber-
lin correspondent Of the New York Herald
writes: II
/" Considering all the chances operating
against the prosperity of German-bad
government, density of population, low
price Of labor, and grievances innumera-
ble-it is but natural that the tide of emf
grafton should continually flow. Indeed,
we hear from Mecklenburg that as many as
six hundred and fifty people took their de-
parture for American one single day. Extra
trains we're inrequisition TO forward 30 great
a number. This was but two days ago, and
on previous days similar numbers left the
country. A perfect emigration fever exists
at the present moment in Pomerania, and
very many Of the inhabitants wait with
anxiety to have tidings of those Of their
friends and relatives who have expatriated
themselves, not for their country's but for
their own good. Here in Berlin the move
ment is less perceptible, but that there is
a vast under-current could be proved at
once by reference to the books Of the vari-
GUS emigration agents. The weekly statis-
teal register published by the police shows
for the autumn months an unusual excess
of departures over arrivals, and we may
Justly assume that this is in great measure
owing to emigration to your side Of the
Atlantic" Fry =

Hon. 7. A. R. Nelson made very severe
structures last Tuesday in the Knoxville
Chaucerv Court on the Methodist Church
South. He said that its secession from the
Methodist Episcopal Church in 1874 was
the entering wedge of the great rebellion,
and added that be was fearful that If the
southern church is continued as achurcb
organization it will be the cause of bring
ing or the country another bloody war. He
fnr',her said that there WAS no use for snch
IN organization as thc Church South Gin
cinnati Commercial. ,
Mr.. Nelson showed himself to be an ass
in the impeachment court, but not so great
one as these charges against the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South prove him to
be. 1t is not southern church in any
offensive sense. 1t added the word sSouth "
TO its title merely to distinguish it from
that of the northern church, which is in
deed political church, and did more to
cause the secession movement and the war
than any other organization in the country.
Its malignity is equalled only by the igno-
rance Of the great mass Of its members.
This church is the wolf that muddied the
stream, and the southern church is the
lamb that it would lay the blame upon.

performed between her and Mr.. Taylor, but
he recognized her as his wife, and agreed
Of his own will to 30 recognize her when
they commenced living together. She was
q seamstress in his house at the time, and
he dreaded the objections of his own grown
daughters to the match. Mrs. Van Tuyl,
one of his daughters. is the other claimant.

amounts to over $500, 900. .-,.,

that the two children, William James Tsy-
lor. and Catharine Taylor, are the lawful
issue of William Taylor, deceased, and
