DEsTTTUrIoN IN GERMANY. The social
and domestic misery produced in Ger
many by the war is very great. A Ger
man paper states that i'll the province of
Westphalia. at the beginning of October,
there were 11,817 married women, the
wives and widows of soldiers, together
with 22.713 children, obtaining relief
from the public funds. In Hanover,
9,624 women and 26,4lS children we're
dependent upon the public for support.
In the Rhenish provinces, there were
IA, 3l2 married women, and Is, 9,619 faith
orless children who were utterly desti-
tute. Thus in only three Prussian pro-
vinces there were, last October, 35,753
women, and 78, $50 children in u condi-
tion of misery and want, and it is believed
that destitution to tho same extent
prevails in the other provinces of Prus-
sia. The price of provisions is extraor-
diaarily high.

Sunday Morning, December l8. 1870.

1t seems to be recognized foot that
the South is not purchasing this year as
largely in Northern and Western mar
kets as for the year preceding. It is
stated by the New Orleans Picagune
that the decline in the price of cotton
has reduced the purchasing power of
the South fully $100.0e0,00O. The
average price per bale last year was 500,
which would make the yield of 1869-'70
worth some $31O,OOO,OO0. This season
the average price per bale is about $50,
which, supposing the crop to reach
$500, 600 bales, would be $210, 900, 600.
At these figures cotton is barely paying
the cost of production, and the South
must use her reserve or credit, in order to
provide clothing and articles of house
hold use. Luxuries, fancy goods, &C.,
arc dispensed with, and the mall stocks
of these articles in hands merchants
are proving unsaleable. This diminu-
tion in the value of cotton has caused
much depression in business circles, and
all through the South there is much less
of the buoyancy which was imported by
the large receipts Of the previous years.
But there has been no decentralization,
and very few failures have occurred
Planters, factors and merchants have
worked together, and the commercial
currcnt rolls on, sluggishly, it is true,
but without disaster. Another six months
may bring about great change. The
area planted i'll cotton will probably be
diminished. while that put in corn,
grain, and oil the diverse industries of
the farm will be augmented; and thus,
in both ways, the planter will gain; first,
by nn enhanced price of his money
staple, and next, by raising the articles
he would otherwise have to purchase.

The Elements Of astronomy by j. Norman
Lockyer, an English author of considerable re-
pute, has been adapted to the schools of the
United States by an American editor, and
published by d. Appleton s. Co., New York
Although designed Tor text book it will be
found interesting to the general reader in an
unusual degree, since he will find incorporated
in it thesatest astronomical discoveries, even
down to the middle of the current year. The
relation OF sun spots to auroral and other cleo
trical phenomena and to variations of the mag
netic needle-a subject to which the attention
of the public has heenlcalled in very emphat-
it manner within the past few weeks-is treat
ed at some length. For sale by Bailey and
Noyes.
A recent contribution of considerable value to
anthropological science in the Origin of Chi
lization and the Primitive Condition of Nan, be.
ing treatise on the mental and social condi-
ton of savages by Sir John Lubbock, reprint
ed by d. Appleton & Co, New York. The
author has previously written work on Pre-
historic Times and is an authority on ethnology
and related sciences. The present volume
contains very full account of all that Is now
known of the Art, Ornaments, Marriage Gus
and Morals of savage tribes-the purpose being
to make these facts useful in solving the great
problems relating to the origin, progress and
nature of man. For sale by Bailey & Noyes.
Blaekcood for October, republshed by the
Leonard Scott Publishing Company, New
York, contains an elaborate review of Lau-
renee Oliphants Piccadilly, now republished
after lapse of several years. Oliphant, who
few years ago was a member of Parliament
and the pet of the English aristocracy, has
given most satisfactory proof of the sinceri-
ty of the notions expressed in Piccadaly by
carrying them into effect personally. Perceiv-
ing that human society as now constituted is
| founded on the exaltation of self and the mu-
| tual antagonsm of its members though pro-
| Tossing to be based upon Christianity, which
| insists with the utmost riaor on the abasement
| of self and devotion to the common good, he
conceived profound disgust for the most
brilliant society in the world of which he was
| distinguished ornament, came to this country
| and is now living with remarkable COM
| munisiic sect at Brocton, we believe, on
| the shores of one of the great lakes.
/ The members of the community of which he
| is a member are followers of Rev. Mr.. Har-
is who has undertaken to restore primitive
Christianity. Oliphant takes his chance with
his associates and is farm laborer or what
ever else his superior requires, having aban-
doned his property, his reputation and his
| place in the world TOR the purpose of serving
God. II this case is not entirely unique it is
| so nearly so as to be truly remarkable. Black
wood also contains a continuation of EarPs
| Dene aud articles on Fiction as an Educator;
Boating on the Thames; Strangers in the
| House; The Fenan Raid and the Foreign Of
| ms O'Dnwd and The Enrnnean Hurricane.
