GERMAN IMMiGEATIoN.--Io give
our readers a Just conception Of the
steady increase Of the German ele-
ment in our County, we present them
a portion Of letter written US by
Rev. J. Hoffman, of Portage City:
IL 1862 | first visited the Lutherans in
and about Grand Rapids and continued TO
do 30 every three weeks, til they, In 90, rot
minister OF their own 10 the person Of
Rev. s. Estcl, VINO however, went to IlliDos

When first visited the SETTLEMENTS, that
Of the Germans, east Of Grand Rapids, nun.
bereFed about twenty, now it plumbers about
ninety families; that Yves: of Grand Rapids
then had five, il now has thirty families.
After several calls 10 other ministers, they
at last called the candidate for the order of
the Holy Ministry, NJ. i. Leyhe Last Sun

pei by me. Ordination taking place in tht
morning service at FoQr Mile Greek, intro
daetion at town Of sigel, 10 the afternoon.
For several wears small. congregation O
French PfotestanEs has been provided fol-
by me; for them service, with celebration oi
the communion, was held 10 the evening, al
the school house in Centralia.
1t will be seen by the above that
our German friends are well provided
for in religious matters, and thai
while they are securing a competence
by means Of their " 1ll-tillud farms
they are not neglecting their devo
tions to Him who is bestowing upon
them these blessings

Men AS Cooks. Jane Swishelm,
is In favor of men as cooks, and by way of
illustration, relates the following Il
never knew the significance of the i'm
pulse which leads all boys to want to
bake griddle-cakes, until | saw a French
half-breed from Selkirk, beside his iron
less cart, on the open prairie, preparing
his evening meal. He had large fish
broling on the Goals without any inter
vention of gridiron. His batter and
his fiapiacks' were in a bucket. He
heated and CREASED long handled sheet
iron frying-pan, poured in enough bat
ter to cover the bottom, set it over the
fire, kept on serenely attending to other
matters, as though no flapjacks' were
i'll danger of being burned, as it would
have been if any woman had set it to
bake but just at the right moment he
came up, looked into the pan, took hold
of the handle, shook it gently, then with
"A sudden jerk sent the cake spinning in
the air, caught II as 1T came down square
in the center, with the other side up.
The cake was turned as no woman could
have turned it, and with an ease which
showed that the man WIS in his proper
sphere"

COUNTRY LIFE.-It may be very de
lightful to have secluded picturesque
residence on an island, but such a life
has its drawbacks. A gentleman who
had a romantic abode on the island of
Jersey, not long since, took the liberty
to go to England and left his house in
the hands of servants during his alb
sence. When he returned he found
that high life had been going on below
stairs, and that the expense came chiefly
to him. The piano had been removed
t. the kitchen and number of young
men had been invited in, including two
of Her Majesty's soldiers and dancing,
drinking, smoking and other carnal de-
lights had reigned nightly among the
rots and kettles. Wine, porter and
spirits had disappeared wonderfully the
storn of provisions had been greatly re-
duceI and drawers had been robbed of
money and valuables. 4 day of reckon
ing CAME, however, for the short-sight
jewellers when the owner of the house
returned, and with the aid of the officers
of the law he succeeded in recovering
his domain and suppressing the insur-
rection. If one enjoys the delights of a
life in Jersey, he must expect to take its
risks, of course including the chance
of an uprising in his own kitchen.

MARROW GUAGE RAILROADS. The dis
cussion on the value of narrow guage
locomotives, which has been going on
for so long a time, and especially with
reference to the matter of speed, has de-
yeloped some useful facts but little
known to the general public, but yet of
peculiar interest to those who watch the
progress of engineering science. 1t APP
pears that a narrow guage locomotive
with driving wheels thirty-six inches in
diameter and cylinders with sixteen
inches stroke at speed of forty miles
per hour, developes the same speed of
piston as a full-guage locomotive with
five feet driving wheels and cylinders
with twenty-four inches stroke at a speed
of forty-fom miles per hour. With
driving wheels forty inches in diameter
and sixteen inches stroke of piston, the
narrow guage locomotive develops the
same total travel of piston in going one
mile as does the full guage locomotive
with driving-wheels sixty inches in di-
ameter and twenty four inches stroke of
piston. Equal speeds are therefore at
tainable on the narrow as on the full
guage. The angle of stability of the
narrow 0uage locomotive with three feet
driving is somewhat greater than
that of the four feet eight and one-half
inch guage locomotive with five feet
wheel.

TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKE. On the 18th
of April last the town of Bathang, Pro
vince of Szchuen, China was levelled by
an earthquake the first shocks of which
were so severe that dwellings,, temples,
storehouses and Notifications crumbled.
All the inhabitants in the falling build
ings were crushed to death. Fires broke
out in the ruins. which were driven furi-
ously by the wind, and continued for five
days.
Of the people, soldiers and lamas, Tor
priests, 2,29S were crushed to death,
including also the local Magistrate and
his deputy. The earthquake extended
over IN area of 400 miles, and continued
about tea days The greatest consterna-
ton and distress prevailed throughout
the region, but the Imperial authorities
at last accounts had relieved the distress,
and to some extent provided shelter for
the survivors,

And bottled mp the lightning.
And since his time, when cares Cypress
