THE German government, it would
seem, is coming to a realizing sense of the
impossibility of keeping people from emf
grating by prohibitory measures. In the
House of Deputies, on Friday last, the
minister of the interior squarely admitted
as much, and proceeded to say that what
was wanted was enlightened and judicious
legislation, which would make those who
now thought of emigrating appreciate the
value of their own country above all others.
The government was aiming to check emf
grafton by elevating and improving the
condition of the people at home.
This sounds very pretty, and is
exactly what is wanted but as long as
that memorable military service of Ger
many prevails the emigration will go on.
IF there is to be no modification of that
tyrapnical system, all the other :. enlight-
ened and judicious legislation" that can be
thought of will go for nought. 1t is the evil
which nothing else can counteract-not
even the glory of conquering France. Glory
is not the pabulum, after all. on which the
substantial German prefers to feed. The
compulsory education" which makes
him, nolens volens, a soldier, is type of the
same thing everywhere, or what it woule
come to in the end.

The Geyena Award.

Two bills are now before Congress pro-
viding for the distribution of the award
made by the Geneva tribunal. The first
was reported to the Senate from the JUDI
ciary committee, by Mr.. Edmunds. 1t
provides for the appointment by the Presi-
dent of five commissioners, whose duty it
shall be to examine and decide upon all
claims not excepted by the bill. The COM
mission is to make its own rules OF proce-
dure, to sit in Washington, and to hold offic,
for one year. No claims can be admitted
when the claimant has received any comps6
sation, by insurance or otherwise, but ne
may be allowed the difference between the
actual loss and the indemnity. Claims for
unearned freights, prospective profits,
wages for more than one year, are not all
mitted. No claim of an insurance compa-
nv shall be allowed unless its losses by
war risks exceeded the sum Of its extra
premiums, nor any claim of an insurance
company not legally existing at the time
of the alleged loss. Interest shall be allowed
on admitted claims at the rate OF
four per cent. per annum, and
ninety-ive per cent. of the sum award
ed to the claimant. Mr.. Buffers bill was
reported by him in the House, and is SUBJ
stantlally the same in its principal pro-
visions. Claimants are divided into SIX
classes, and it is provided that no acco uni
shall be taken of unearned freights OF
prospective profits. The great difference
between the two bills is that the HOUSE
bill provides for the filing of petitions IL
, the circuit or territorial courts OF tn
United States, instead of with specla
, commission. Questions of law arising ar
to be tried by the Supreme Court, AM
| all claims must be presented beior
J July l, 1874. The last section OF tn
r bill provides that the money, when pai'
by Great Britain, shall be invested i
United States five per cent. bonds, whc
shall be sold from time to time and tn
proceeds of the sale used to satisfy claims
The settlement of the claims through tn
e courts is thought by some to be an admir-;
f BILE feature of the bill. but there is no tell
t ing what, with council and fees, the court
7 may prove just as expensive to the claim
} ants as q commission.

work tho Honor ana Glory of
woman.
The New York Evening Post, one of tie
most conservative of all American jour
mails, speaks most approvingly of the Stein
way Hall gathering last Saturday night.
Mrs. Henry Field, who presided at this
meeting, said forcibly in her excellent
opening address, that the single object OF
the occasion was to recognize the dignity
of labor for women. She claimed that
from the moment woman supports her.
self, or those she loves, by her work, she
ought to ascend in the social, as she does in
the moral, scale. She is not to be pltled,
nor patronized, but to be respected Tor her
spirit of independence. But no law can
| secure her such respect; no decree of
court of justice can fix her So
cial position society itself must render
this homage to her true womanly dignity.
The speaker then illustrated her argument
| in this wise:
If the intellect of woman is cultivated, If she
has any special gift, she will seek work, Tor she
4
talent, and a just pride in compelling the pubic
to recognize it. She will work Tor reputation
and, also, for q just compensation; not NoIt
weak vanity or mean oupidity but because sucn
return for her labor is the most decisive recosni-
ton which the public can give OF her real merit.
Rosa BOnheur would not rank half SO mgn US

THE astronomical expedition of the
coast survey to the Rocky mountains has
proved complete success. The increased
clearness of the atmosphere on the lofty
heights occupied by the astronomers made
visible to the naked eye a great number OF
stars, including nearly all of the seventh
magnitude. Nine stars were perceptible in
the bowl of the dipper, instead of three, as
commonly seen. The establishment OF an
observatory at some elevated place in these
mountains seems to be only question Of
| time. -

THE New York Times says that there
can be no doubt that there is great danger
of the defeat of the ends of justice in the
case of Tweed, now under trial in that

A Mr.. TRAIN, of Newton, Massachu-
sets, is a funny but very naughty lei
low. He fell in love with his maid SER
want, in direct opposition to the commands
of the good book, and prevailed upon her
to elope. Just as they got every thing in
readiness, his wife put in an appearance
but, nowise dismayed, he locked her up,
and with the seductive maid departed
for places unknown. If these things are
thus, in good old puritanical Massachu
sets, how long will it take to make then
slusly in all parts of the country?
