LITTELL's LIVING AGE.-The last
weekly numbers of The Living Age
have been full of noteworthy articles,
among which are the following: Con-
trasts of Ancient and Modern Histo-
ry, Rituals and Ritualism, by Hon.
W. E. Gladstone; Who Wrote
''Shakspere"; The Education Of Wom-
en-; The Song of Fishes; Comets
Tails; Archbishop Laud, etc, to-
gether with instalments of the re-
markably fine serials, "Aliee Lor-
raine," "Far From the Madding
Crowd" choice poetry, miscellany,
ETC., etc.
The latest of these numbers (No
1878, dated Nov. 7th) is the first one
issued subsequently to the merging
of Every Saturday in The Living
Age: and as it continues the serials
of Every Saturday from the point
where they were discontinued in that
periodical, but more especially be-
cause it is now the only eclectic
weekly of the country, it should be
in the hands of the readers of Every
Saturday as the only natural substi-
tute for that periodical. With fifty
two numbers, of sixty four large pages
each (aggregating over 5000 pages a

At the recent elections the Repub-
licans triumphed in the States of
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, Ne
vada, Michigan, Illinois, Rhode
Island, Florida, South Carolina, and
Massachusetts, except on Governor.
1t is one of the encouraging indica-
tions for the future that in most of
the newer Western States, where the
Independent movement a year ago
caused Generalization and threatened
serious results in the future, the Re
publican forces have again become
consolidated, this fall entered the
canvass with compact organization
and united front, and achieved vic
tory. This was notably the case in
Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas, and Mime
sofa. Ohio, with her sixty thousand
reserve Republican votes, will by the
next Presidential election exhibit a
like awakening and return to her old
position in the rank of Republican
States. s. Delaware Gazette.

cDnsus in all their ports open TO foreign commerce,
who shall enj0y, within their respective consular
districts all the rights, privileges and immuniies
of the consus and vce-consuls of the most favored
nation but to enjoy the rights, prerogatives and
immunities which belong to them in virtue OF their
public character, the eonsuls and vice-consnls shall
before exercising their ocisl functions exhibit to
the Government to which they are accredited
their commissions patents in due form, in order
to receive their exequatur; after receiving which
they shall be acknowledged in their official charac-
ters by the authorities magistrates and inhabitants
of the district in which they reside. The high
tracing parties, nevertheless, remain at liberty to
except those ports and places where the admission
and residence of consuls and vice-consuls may not

admit them shall likewise extend to those of all

Asa consequence of the principles of equality
herein established, in virtue of which the citizens
of each one of the high contracting parties enjoy
in the territory of the other the same rights

the same protection in their persons and property,
it is declared that only III the case that such pro-
lection should be denied, on account of the fact
that the claims preferred have not been promptly
attended to by the legal authorities, or that mani
fest injustice has been done by s1ch authorities
and after all the legal means have been exhausted,
then alone shall diplomatic Intervention take place.

English consul thinks that on the
n hard no great surprise need be
felt at the continued extent OF emil
rration from Germany or other
states, and, on the other hand, that
none of the measures hitherto
proposed, with the object OF
putting a stop to emigration, VIII,
in all probability be able to attain
that end, at least for the present.
The English consul at Hamburg,
writing on the same subject, says
that although there has been a gen.
eral Improvement in the condition
of the operative and agricultural
classes in Germany within the last
two or three years, the number of
those who leave for foreign coun-
tries is on the increase. The num-
her of emigrants forwarded by way
of England has been greatly on the
increase during the last three or four
wears. Notwithstanding the frequent
complaints and warnings that have

pointed to the use of emigrants.

GERMAN EMIGRATION.
It's Causes and Operation.

From statistics which have lately
been published, it appears that dur
ing the last five years the number
of persons who have embarked from
the two principal seaports OF Ger
manufacturing and Bremen-has
been nearly 700, 600, the majority OF
whom consisted of Prussians.
There was a decrease last year, COM
pared with its predecessor, but II
the number of emigrants leaving
Germany by other ports OF Europe
could be ascertained, the total would
reach a yet higher figure. In view
of the exodus of so large a number
of inhabitants, and of the preJu-
dicial effects of such a fact upon the
interests, particularly of the land
owners, in The more thinly popula-
ted districts of the empire, the serl-
Gus consideration of efficient mean
for putting a stop to such wholesale
emigration has lately been entered
upon on many sides in Ger
many, and has been recommended
to the consideration of the federal
government by several membeiS
of the German parllamer
AS regards official measures, the
would, it is thought, be neithe
practicable nor desirable, excepting
that a stricter supervision by the
local authorities over the numerous
emigration agents might be consid-
cred advisable, in order to prevent
those persons from exercising undue
influence upon the minds OF the
most ignorant class of persons and
laborers. The English representa-
tive at Bremen is of opinion that in
all other respects government inter-
ference should only be used IN an
indirect manner by turning Its at
tention to the speedy improvement,
where it is called for, of the social,
industrial, and agricultural condi-
ton of the people. But according
to the opinion of experienced Ger
mans, it Is by no means merely the
dissatisfaction felt by the 1nhabi-
tants of certain districts of Ger
many with the state of things in
their native place which can be con-
sidered to form the chief reason for
inducing them to emigrate. There
are many other reasons, which
most probably, are of equal weight,
viz: the great increase in the num-
Der of emigration agents in all parts
of Germany, even in the smallest
towns and villages: the d~isinclina-
ton ofmany young men to serve IN
the army; the improvements which
have been made in the course oftne
last ten years tn the means of conn.,
munication between the interior and
the seaports; the comparative COM
fort and cheapness of the voyage to
transatlantic countries; and d
knowledge of the fact that greater
protection, manifold advice and as
sistance are now afforded by the
emigration offices to the emigrants
! at the ports of embarkation. The

TIE New York Tribune does not
appear to favor the opening OF the
Back Hills to white settlement. In
its issue of the 18th the journal in
question remarks:
"ihe urgency which General Gus
Ter is said to exhibit in his final re-
port to the War Department con-
corning the Black Hills will not, it
is to be hoped, bring about any VIC
lations of our treaty with the ihdl-
ans. Even if there were any pre-
text for overriding its provisloas
and breaking the pledged faith
of the nation, it is an open
question whether any material
advantage would accrue Co the Gag
err frontiersman. A doubt as to the
value of the alleged gold discoveries,
coming from the geologist who ac-
companied the expedition, may be
coupled with the fact that a good
sized thimble would easily cover all
the gold that is actually known to
have been found in the region.
Where is as yet no occasion for in
decent haste"
