GERMAN EMIGRATION.
A PrsbabIe Revival of German E,.sigra
tign tn America.

PAL MaH Gazette.
There are at present again unaues.
tionable signs that a very large emigrat-
ing element is smoldering in Germany,
stimulated by political and economical
embroilments which will break forth as
soon as sufficient hope and inducements
offer themselves in transatlantic ooun-
tries in the eyes of the discontented
and desponding Germans. The gene
ral political aspect and the decline of
German commerce and industry at the
present period are, observes Consul
kruge, such that an emigration on a
large scale must be the natural eonse-
quenee of the ruling state OF affairs.
Among other illustrations Of the causes
Of desire on the part Of the Germans to
leave their native land, Consul Kruge
mentions the religious "Kulturkampf," I"
which. he says, Ia Its. practical results
may al least up till now be rightly
termed an unsuccessful move Oh tils
political chess board, and has been
brought home by degrees to the Roman
Catholic population in an Irritating,
harassing form. Between the priests
on the one hand and the government on
the other the lives Of the Roman Catho-
lie peasantry are made one of perfect
torment" and these people naturally
desire to leave that country where,
rightly or wrongly, they believe
their religion attacked or en-
dangered. The relations between
France and Germany also act power
fully to promote emigration, and
the huge expenses Of maintaining
the army. besides navy Of considerable
size, contribute to swell the emigration
tendency Of the country. Consul Kruge
thinks that IL the Australian colonies
care to have the largest portion of the
coming German emigation, at no time
have they had better chance of Gre
ating an extensive movement to their
shores than at present In the mean
time, DR.. Engel, the Director Of the Bu-
reau of Statistics at Berlin, estimates
the loss in capital of every German soul
emigrated at $50 thalers (Prussian) or
e97 los. In illustrating the loss to Ger
many by emigration DR.. Engel points
out likewise that the old and infirm
people do not emigrate. but that Ger
many has given within 27a years consid-
erablv over 10000 OF strong men to
the United States of America alone, and
that the Kingdom Of Prussia has lost
within the same time 800 900 soldiers.

only entitled TO his legal fees accordingly He
should not have assumed the duties Of the

notary, is that Of going to the bedside of the

to refuse to enter premises to make seizure,
or the criminal sheriff refuse to make an ar

A TYPOGRAPHICAL MISTAKE.

$50 p-i-o-n-e-e-r-s at his back, had, on q Ger
tain memorable occasion, 'tgiven battle tt a

Brandt and Johnson" Imagine my aston
ishnent, not to say ohagriH, to ascertain
from the proof reader of the DEMOCRAT that

tions are among the earliest reeolleetions OF
my childhood such traditions as baby

OF that day proved that their knowledge was

even skill enough in the prisoner bust
ness to take any. Not knowing how to
surrender themselves, they seem to have
been unable to comprehend the true meaning
OF anybody eise's surrender and so, imtued
with the primitive idea that once an enemy

equally crude notion that "a dead Tory was
the next best thing to q live Wbig"-as one of
the stanch old patriots Of the Revolution once
phrased itthey incontiuently slew all who

Thus my friend, the proof reader of the
DEMOCRAT, will discern that the epitbet of
