German and English Immigration.

The German Emigration Association Of
Washingto on Thursday, received fur
Their orders from the home organization of
a similar name relative to the German
farmers and mechanics about to emigrate
to this country. The home organization
TO effect this purpose is said now to num-
Der $4,000 persons, and it is proposed to
form union with the National Agricul.
tural Laborers' Union of London. This
latter Association has a membership Of
100000. 1t is contemplated when the
season opens TO send at least half q mil
lion Of German and English farmers and
mechanics to various points in the New
World, but mainly to The United States.
Both these associations have for their
principal object the relief of the present
over. crowded labor market, and the Ger
man organization has a paid.up capital Of
$4,000 to carry out their plan. is pro.
posed, among other things, to urge legis

better protection of emigrants. A Com
mission will leave Bremen in the middle
of January for The purpose of purchasing
land for large colonies, who contemplate
emigrating in the spring, and also to

The New German Peers.

The latest foreign papers contain
sketches of the newly created Peers in
the German Parliament, by which help
the Government succeeded in carrying
through the Counties Reform Bill.
There were twenty-five of these Peers
in all. Five of them were from the
army proper, including General Won
Steinmetz, the fighting General of
1866, who was deposed after the battle
near Metz, IN 1870, and Won Peucker,
the author of a work on 1.-THE Military
System of the Ancient Germans. J"
Nine of them are from the Ministries
and their dependencies; three from the
landed interest; three from the ''inactive
civil service;" two from the diplo-
matte service, Won Magnus, formerly
Minister Resident in Mexico, and Won
Eichmann, Ambassador at the Court of
Saxony; one from the provincial Adj
ministration, Won Bardeleben, Presi.
dent-in- Chief of the Rhine Province :;
and Viewer, Attorney General of the
Supreme Court, and Henriel, Vice
President of the Court of Appeals.
Nearly all of the new peers are octo-
genarians and are considered by the
European press as mere bureaucrats
selected to carry out this special pur-
pose and nothing more. The real
friends of reform IN Germany consider
that this addition to the Upper House
is no reform at all, and are unanimous
in asserting that the Government has
adopted only half-measure. The Co
logne Gazette pronoHnces the confu-
sion of opinion to be chaotic.

Spain from Cubal Cuban patriots-the
rich and wealthy Cubans that joined
our cause-have destroyed large por-
ton of the property on the entire is
land, burning their own sugar estates
among others, in order that Spain might
be deprived of the revenue from them
tell you the revenue from Cuba now
is so much less than the expenses of
the war that Spain cannot follow it up
much longer. We can continue for an
indefinite period, having no expenses
to meet, and the troubled condition of
affairs in Spain at the present time will
surely not contribute to her victory in
Cuba. The revolutions there will pre-
vent Spain from sending out any more
troops, and those now on the Island
cannot last very long. Nearly half the
Spaniards that came to Cuba have died

Arrival of a Disabled schooner-An I'm
known Ship Discovered on Fire-The
Crew Supposed to be Lost.
The schooner Louisa, Capt. Martin,
from Cape Haytien, for Boston, and
loaded with logwood, arrived at New
port, R. l., Tuesday evening, with the
loss of her deck load and main boom.
Her sails also were split she having
experienced hehvy weather. Captain
Martin reports that on December 90, in
latitude "a 35 and longitude 70. about
2 P. NJ, the wind blowing heavy gale
from the south, he saw, about five miles
distant vessel on fire. He hauled by
to windward, ran down to the vessel,
and found her to be a ship, about
1000 tons, and completely enveloped
burnt of, and the hull burnt down to the
second deck. Most of the house and
stern were standing. Captain Martin
could not get near enough to her, on
account of the binding smoke and
heavy weather, but he remained short
distance from her for two hours, and
had his crew in the rigging, so as to
ascertain if any boats could be seen
to leave the burning ship. None were
discovered, and it is supposed that
they, on the outbreak of the fire, took
TO the boats and were swamped and
lost, as it was very boisterous at the
time, the wind blowing perfect hurri-
cane. The vessel was probably loaded
with petroleum or naval stores, as the
heat was so great

The Patter of Little Feet.

Up with the sun in the morning,
Away to the garden he HES,
To see if the sleeping blossoms
Have begun to open their eyes
Running a race with the WIND,
With step as light and feet,
Under my window, hear
The patter OF little feet.
Now to the brook he wanders,
In swift and noisoless flight,
splashing tho sparkling ripples
Like fairy water sprlte.
No sand under tabled river
Has a CLEAN like his golden hair
No peaylv sea-shell is fairer
Than his slender ankles bare ;
Nor the rosiest stem of coral
That bushes in oceans bed,
Is sweet as the fash that follows
Our darling airy tread.
From a broad window, my neighbor
Looks down on our little cot
And watches the "poor mans blessing y
cannot envy his lot.
He has pictures, books, and music,
Bright fountains and noble trees,
Flowers that blossom i'll roses,
Birds from beyond the seas
But never does childish laughter
His homeward footsteps greet;
His stately halls le'er echo
To the tread OF innocent feet.
This child is our speaking picture"
A birding that cnatters and sings,
Sometimes a sleeping cherub,-
(Our other one has wings.)
His heart is a charmed casket,
Full Of all that's cunning and sweet,
And no harp-string holds such music
As follows his twinkling feet,
When the glory of sunset opens
The highway by angels trod,
And seems TO unbar the city
Whose builder and maker is God,
Close to the cryetal portal
see by the gates OF pearl
The eyes of our other angel
twin-born little girl.
And / ask to be taught and directed
To guide his footsteps Alright;
So TO live that | be counted worthy
To walk IL sandals of light
And hear, amid songs of welcome
From messengers nusty and feet,
{ II the starry floor Of heaven,
The pattor Of little feet.

"Dead you don't say SO. OF what did

compound of fiery alcohol and root
juice, and it had killed him. Now, did
that misguided invalid require tonic

that if the Martyr to Dragged Alcohol

him, he would to-day be in the land Of
