AT recent sitting of the German Par.
lament the annual salary of the German
Ambassador in London was raised from
120, 900 marks to 100000 marks-S37 800
Prince Bismarck said that as the Ger
man Ambassador in London now repre-
sented twenty-five States, instead of one
as formerly, his expenditure had consid-
erably increased. If the House insisted
on giving their Ambassadors less than
they spent, they would be making diplo-
matte posts the exclusive domain of the
rich.

New Workers Fox Hunting i'm
Virginia.
From The Richmond State.

n rom ute fttcftHiOftI ISIOte.
The biggest meet of the season took
place Saturday six miles south of Mid
lothian, in Chesterfield county.
The hunt was IL compliment to Messrs
Higgerso on and O'Harrow of Albion, n
", who were guests of Mr., w. II. Bur
rows of Richmond. There were a dozen
or more riders and twenty-five dogs in
the field, and the chase was led by
Messrs. Lesler andMcGruder of Chester
field, two of the most experienced hun
ters and toughest riders in the county,
The result of the chase was two bushes
one red and one gray. The first broke
cover about q o'clock A. NJ, and led the
hunters across the country at a rafting
rate and was killed after chase ofabout
two hours and half, the whole party
being in at the death. The dogs were
well punched during the entire time and
made the welkin ring with their music
The second fox was killed after very
short run.
Some of the country hunted over was
very rough, and some very stiff Jumps
were made, one of the riders landing his
mare on her launches. The pluck OF the
novices, our Northern friends is spoken
of in the highest terms by the old hun
ters. They followed their leader and the
hounds in manner that would have
reflected credit on much more eXperienc
ed fox chasers, and We're presented witt
the brushes in recognition of tho fact.

German Language and Literature, 1882
Spruce street, Philadelphia. Graduate of
the University of Berlin, late President
A Abrahamshon German Jchool, Louisville;
late Director of Cincinnati German Litera-
ture Club.
The value of q thorough practical knoWl-
edge of tie German language cannot be
over-estimated The number of Germans
In the United states is already very large
and Is rapidly increasing. In Philadelphia
about one-sixth of the Inhabitants speak
the German language. 1t needs no argu-
ment to show that under these circumstan-
ces practical knowledge of that language
Is not only social advantage, but busi-
ness necessity
How, then, can the German language be
most thoroughly and quickly acquired?
mean SO acquired as to be an easy and de-
lghtful means of communication, enabl-
Ing the student to enter INTO the spirit ofany
conversation, and TO appreciate the beau
ties the German Literature.
1t may not be improper for me to state,
that large experience in Universities, both
IN Germany and America, as Scholar,
| Teacher and Visitor, enables me to speak
| on this subject with confidence. The method
ofteaching the language by means OF the
grammar alone, has failed the method of
| teaching 1t by means of conversation alone,
| has also failed. These failures have result
| ed not only in a great waste of valuable
time, but also in the production OF large
number of half taught pupils. The true
method is to familiariZe the pupil with the
| sound and meaning of the words, and with
| the most important principles of the gram
| mar,-at the same time endeavorlng, by
| easy conversation and practical exercises,
| TO induce him to use the words and rules he
| has learned. By this method the pu-
i pill, in very short time, acquires prac-
tical knowledge OF the language, and an
ease In Its use which years of study by the
! old methods could not give him. An ordi-
| narily intelligent person can, by my IN eth
cd, in from six TO eight months, advance
| so far in the acquisition of the language as
| 10 be able to read with ease and speak with
| fiuency.
1 shall be twice week in Wilmington,
DEL, where 1 will give lessons at the resi-
! dence of pupils.

THE principal virus of the Kear-
neyites is directed against the
Democracy for the simple reason
that that party has been the i'm
memorial friend OF the working
man, and the agitators look upon
It as the only obstacle which
stands in their way. They regard
the Republican party Us out of the
fight, and have applied themselves
to the formidable undertaking OF
worsting the party founded by
Thomas Jefferson. The Demo
cratic party is haloed by memories
which appeal to the Workingmar
and foreigner with Irresistible
force, and the effort to break this
chain of endearing association must
needs be q violent one. We are
glad TO be able to express our sin
cere belief that it will be ineffec
tual. When the issue shall bt
squarely made three Republican,
to one Democrat will vote the Kear
ney ticket.

The Hussian Army Restless.
PERA, April 2Oth.-A correspon-
dent treating on the military stu
alton at the Turkish capital, gays:
Although many things war
rant the supposltion that
the Turke would fight to
nople, they have not distinctly
made up their minds to do so. But
admitting a theoretical intention
on the part of the Turks to resist
Russian occupat ion, it does not APP
pear that 10000 Ottoman soldiers
around the Capital are an insuper-
able barrier to surprise. The Rus
SLAMS know very well that If they
wait to make coup de main until
war Is declared, the chances against
them will be much heavier than II
they make it beforehand. They
have everything at their command
force, money, diplomacy and in.
trigue. 1t does not require a very
| lively luldB iuutlOu W CUuCclNo hoW
when Russia has made up her
mind that it is necessary to come
into Constantinople, she will Sc
cure her prize. The restlessness in
the Russian camp is increasing
every day. The temper of the
whole camp is one of almost ire
pressible fretfulness. Anything is
better than to sit still rotting liz
filth, dreaming vainly of home ane
watching death sowing and reap
ing. According to reports which
believe to be true the peaceful
spirit has fled from the CAM
and the idea of war is again well
come. With this spirit abroad ant
as far as ] can learn it is not con-
fined to the less reflective. or irreson
sible ranks Of the army, it.mus
not be overlooked that the tempta
lions to coup de main are very
great.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-04-21

AS @ sign OF the times We repro
duce elsewhere the conversation
had recently by the Washington
correspondent of the Detroit NeWs
with Hon. Montgomery Blair, apro-
pos of the resolutions which that
gentleman lately had passed by the
Maryland Legislature asking for
the re-opening of the Presidential
question and the trial of Hayes's
right to occupy the White House
on the merits. We have here
tofore said that We regard 1t
as probable that Mr.. Hayes
will be permitted to serve
out the balance of the term for
which he was designated by the
Electoral Com mission. But it Is
an unquestionabls fact that this
fraudulent public functionary is in
larcenious possession of Mr.. Til
denis office, that he sits in the
White House in defiance of the will
of the American people, and that
stranger things have happened
than q writ of political ejectment,
which is provided for in the Eiec-
toral bill itself, and by virtue of
which he might be unseated before
another twelvemonth has run its
course. 1t will be seen that Mr..
Blair said that, when he first intro
duced his resolution into the Mary
land Legislature, he could get but
six Democrats to have anything to
do with it. Its passage, by large
majority, at later stage, shows
how quickly \ revolution may be
effected in public sentiment. We
hardly think SO good a thing is
likely to happen as the ignominious
expulsion of Hayes from an Office
which he obtained by fraud, but we
shall heartily welcome such o
splendid vindication of Republican
institutions.
