1t is an acknowledged fact that children of
German immigrants cease to speak German
properly if left to themselves, or to the mere
practice afforded in the intercourse with their
parents, and that the second generation
under the same conditions, almost wholly
loses, if not the knowledge, at least the
faculty of speaking the native tongue of their
grand parents. The language hardly forms
even o connecting link between the different
decades of immigration. In 1919 the Ger
mans of Philadelphia, then the most German
city of this country were no longer able to
keep the records of their ''society" in Ger
man, immigration having all but ceased in
consequence of the great continental wars.
In New York, where immigration was smaller
still, the Germans were in 1894 already un-
able to write German. child born here
naturally receives impressions from its sur
roundings only. The air it breathes, the lam
guage it hears the commonwealth in which
it grows upin short, all its relations to the
outside world, are American. What child
hears about Germany from its parents, and
what it afterwards learns from books about it,
are requirements, ideas, and conceptions, but
no living views no immanent reality. Thus
America, to those born here, is the native
country, the home; Germany, naturally we'll
nigh as foreign as any other European country.
The exceptions TO the rule that the grand
children of immigrated Germans never speak
German are to be found only in families of a
higher culture or in some out -the-way rural
districts The process of forgetting the mo,
ther tongue and acquiring the new is con-
stantly going on, and will continue as long as
immigration lasts. 1t is the same with the
descendants of all other aliens who como here
but it is most conspicuous in the case of the
Germans on account Of their larger numbers
If immigration from Germany were TO cease-
which it is far from doing at present we
should see but few German papers published
in this country while the Germans in politi

THE YEARS WORK.
From the N. Y. Tribune.

from the ~ Y. Tribune. 4lHf
The year 1869 has witnessed the completion
of some of the greatest works of the century,
and carried the world forward with grander
strides in the pathway of material progress
than any other single year in the recollection
of the present generation. 1t has rarely been
given TO any one man to witness the realiza-
ton Of t,oo schemes SO important to the pros
perity of all civilized nations as the opening
of a canal through the desert and railway
across whole continents but that these great
events should have been crowded into one
short year is indeed a remarkable and signif-
cant circumstance. The French engineer,
with a rare combination of enthusiasm and
patience, has succeeded in carrying out pro-
ject as old as the ages of the Pharaohs, In
this fast land of Ours project that i worth
anything is never suffered to grow old: and
men had scarcely begun to. talk about cross
ing the pninhabited plains and mountains
with three thousand miles Of iron rail before
the pick and theshoyel eleommenced clearing the
way, and yearsbefore the most sanguine dreaIn-
ed Of seeing the end the work was flushed.
Thus by two wonderful achievements of engi-
neering the distant East is at the same mo-

Inent brought next door to America and next
door to Europe; the old currents Of trade are
changed; and with the change commerce
prospers and life il felt in desert and decayed
countries.
These are the chief labors which have been
crowned during the year 1869. Others hardly
less important have been planned out or be-
gun. AS France cut through the sands of
Suez, SO America is preparing to cut through
the forests and mountains of Darien, and
open new ocean route which will be easier,
safer, and more practically useful than the
dangerous path from the Mediterranean to
the Arabian sea. Theyear 1870 will doubtless
witness the beginning of this work, and
date by no means distant may be set for the
celebration of its close. BY that time perhaps
all our Western wildernesses will be crossed
by the locomotive and dotted with settle
ments and great American steamship lines
will be ready to take their freight at the At
lantic and Pacific ports, and pass through the
new channel which will be opened between
the two oceans
If few great political changes have marked
the year, the principles of political justice
have made cheering progress in nearly all the
great countries of the world, while no coun-
tries can be said to have gone backward. In
Great Britain and France especially the rights
of the people have been more fully recog-
nized, and the despotism of centralized power
and privileged castles has been rudely shaken.
| AT home we have made some steps towards
| the realization of the American ideal of equal
| rights for all, and have been cheered by a
steady improvement in the faithful admins
tration of our laws and the regulation of our
| finances. We have presented to the world o
noble spectacle of people rising with un-
broken energies from devastating war, and
| by hard work, economy intelligence, and the
honest rule of good President, repairing
with unparalleled rapidity the ravages of four
| years of conflict. We at all events, have
abundant reason to look back upon 1869 with
| gratitude and satisfaction. May the record
of the year now begun prove equally bright I!
