The Germans.

According to unofficial statistics re-
Gently published in Berlin, the German
population of Europe number ffty-four
millions. This estimate includes GER
tain portion of the other races under
German rule, with whom the official lam
gpage has ipsensihly taken the place Of
their native tongues. Forty-nine mil
lions inhabit a compact territory, and are
subjects of different German sovereigns
About FIVE millions, or little more than
one-tenth of the whole number are deni-
zens of non-German States The Ger
man language is spoken in Europe
throughout space of territory equal in
extent to 10000 square miles; five-sey-
enths of the soil of Prussia, and eight.
ninths of her population are included in
this vast tract, The foreign races still
existing in Gerpan-speaking countries
number about million and quarter,
and of these more than ope-half are
Prussian subjects. Fifty per cent of
these, however, speak German in addi-
ton 70 their ewn languages OF dialects,
and the fact is greatly to the credit Of
the system adopted by Prussia in the
treatment Of the alieps inhabiting her
more recent territorial acquisitions.
1t is circumstance worthy of atten-
ton that while Austria during the long
years sway over the Magyar and Tech
races utterly failed in substituting the
German language for the Hungarian and
Slayonic tongues in Pannonia and Boz
hernia, Prussia has succeeded in Ger
manizing Posen and Lithhauia So com
pletely that the SlavOpio dialects, to
which the inhabitants Of these countries
were fonAerly so attached, have fallen
into comparative desuetude. As soon
as the disasters Of 1866 had efiectually
strangled Capitalization in Austria, the
Magyars, TECHS, Romans, and Serbs,
freed themselves, as if by magic, from
German lexicons, typography, and con-
versation. Yet every year sees German
literature customs, and organization,
striking deeper roots into the once wild
frontier districts of Prussian Sarmatia
Should the scheme Of a united Germany
ever be realized, and If We may Judge
from what the leading intelleets Of the
Teutonic races have done and are doing,
the German nation will assume the posi-
ton Of the leading people Of Europe
They are now eminent in literature,
learning. philology, philosophy. freedom
of thought and nObleness of magma
ton, music and poetry; and TO these
laurels must now be added those Of the
highest qualities Of the soldier and the
statesman. Philadelphia Ledger.

MASONIC TEMPLE.
h Essa:ars p ana fsssss

~"~ 'S-o'~-st ~>"T~-
The stockholders of the Masonic Tenn
pie enterprise met yesterday afternoon
at three o'clock in Rocco Hall, the South
Memphis Lodge room, TO elect officers
under the provisions of the charter as
originally granted in 1860 and amended
by the last Legislature.
Captain A. 7. Lacey was called to the
chair, Mr.. r. W. Shelton was appointed
Secretary and Messrs Paul Stanley
and A. ]. Wheeler acted as judges. The
attendance of the Masonic fraternitywas
large; all the lodges were well repre-
sented, and the proceedings were marked
by the decorum and the interest worthy
of such great undertaking GtR
The following names were put in NOM
ination: For Presidential. H. Higbee,
John D. Adams, J. J. Murphy and John
Zent.
For Directors: j. NJ. -Pettigrew, Geo.
Mellersh, G. B. Church, s. H. Brooks,
John Gent, /. N. Happek, P. NJ. Stanley,
John Cubbins, H. q. Steever and A. 5.
Lvermore.
For Treasurer: T. r. Farnsworth
For Secretary "a. J. Wheeler, Charles
Phillips and G. V. Rambaut.
The polls opened shortly after three
o'clock and remained open until six
o'clock. AT the beginning it was an
nounced that $lOs,0OO had been sub
scribed. The Subscribers were allowed
one vote for every share of twenty-five
dollars. This stock then represented
four thousand three hundred and twenty
votes.
When the vote was counted out the fol-
lowing gentlemen were declared elected
for the ensuing year: Presidential. II.
Higbee, of Mansfield 4 Higbee; Treasu-
rer-T. r. Farnsworth, Cashier DeSoto
Bank; Secretary-A. J. Wheeler. Di-
rectors; J. NJ. Pettigrew, of Edmonds,
Pettigrew 4 Co.; John Zent, of Williams
4 Co.. c. b. Church, of Union and
Planters Bank; s. H. Brooks, of Brooks,
Nicely & Co.; George Mellersh, of Bigley,
Mellersh & Co.
The association is, therefore, duly or
ganized under the charter, and call of
ten per cent. will doubtless be made soon
upon the stockholders.
The officers elect, it is needless to say,
are among our worthiest citizens, and all
rank as successful business men, who
have the time, the capacity and enthusi-
asm to conduct the grandest building en-
terprise ever projected in Memphis, The
entire cost of the Temple is set down at
$3.50, 900, when completed In an eligible
site, such as the corner of Second and
Madison, Second and Union or Main
and Gayoso streets, it will be beautiful
feature of the city, triumph of archi-
lecture, and the pride of the Masonic
fraternity in the Southwest.
AS soon as the subcommittee can be
organized, operations will commence.
The cornerstone win be laid in few
months or weeks, with appropriate cere-
mony, and the practical masonry be in
augurated at an early day. May success
attend the good and great work.
