TEE FINE ARTS, SCIENCE, AND MUSIC
R1s where Germans most excel is in the fine
srts, sciences, and music. Mr. Zlegfeld's Con-
eeryatory Of Music is one of the best institutions
OF the kind in the country. Prof. Dyhrenfurtll
College favorably compares with similar In
stltut1ons in Europe, and our Academy OF Design
once counted among its members such artists
as Blerstadt and Leutze. Many Of the cholrs IN
cur churches are composed OF Germans, and
almost all the musicians come from Fatherland.
Our German physicians are justly celebrated for
their skill and knowledge, and our German
apothecarles are the most trusted, because they
usually understand their business. and do not
dispense corrosive sublimate for qulnine.
GERMAN-A1ERICAN POLITICS.
That Germans are, politically at least, not all
OF one mind, is best shown by the different Ger
man daily papers published in this city, each one
being Of different politics. There are two morn
Zeittng, which is edited By Mr. Herman Raster,
has the largest circulation, and is Radical Re-
publican. The Union, Of which General Herman
Iieb is the editor, is Liberal Democratic. md
the Freie P,'esse, at the head Of which is Mr.
Richard 11ichaelis, is Liberal Republican. A
score or more OF German weekly and monthly
publications must be added, and all OF them
hare certain degree OF excellence
THEIR MORAL STATUS.
While Germans are very iberalminded, and
to the outward observer rather hereto people,
yet there is no nationality on the face of the
earth which has more religion at heart and
whose moral status is purer than theirs. This
will best be seen by the large number Of church,
es, schools, and benevolent societies they sup
port. There are in this city at the present time
no less than thirty-seven German congregations
of different sects and denominations Of Which
the German Lutheran Synols Of Missouri, ohlo'
and other States, have ten churches:
