ness, that there is no longer any security
for life and property, and that nobody can
feel safe who ventures to assert his rights
or discharge the duties connected with the
possession, occupation or management of
land, if his acts conflict with the interests
or prejudices of those with whom he has
TO deal. The country is fast drifting to
anarchy. The arm of authority seems
paralyzed and the executive utterly help

Happy America.
Fortnightly Review.

We number now nearly or quite fifty
million people. A hundred millions
could be sustained, without increasing
the area of a single farm or adding one
to their number, by merely bringing
our product up to the average standard
of reasonably, good agriculture; and
then their might remain for export
twice the quantity we now send abroad,
to feed the hungry in foreign lands.
No longer divided by the curse of slave
ry, this nation is now united by bonds
of mutual interest and of common
speech, tied by the iron band of eighty
FIVE thousand miles of railway, and is
yet only beginning to feel the vital
power and grandeur of truly national
existence. What may be the future of
this land few can yet conceive. Texas
alone comprises as much territory as
the German empire, England and
Wales combined. Texas has now about
two million people within her bounda-
ries; the empire of Germany, England
and Wales about 81, 100000. The good
land in Texas is equal in area to the
good land in Germany and Great Brit
ain. Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa
c 'mbined more than equal France in
area and possess more fertile land.
Only twenty-five years ago John Brown
and his companions redeemed Kansas
from slavery; Nebraska was then indi-
Gated on our own maps as part OF
"the Great American Desert" and
Iowa had scarcely become state.
Their population may now be 2,5OO, 900.
France has 81 100000. The great mid
die section Of eastern Tennessee. north
ern Georgia, western Carolina and
southern Virginia has been hemmed
in by the curse of slavery, and is yet
almost terra i',cog,aita, but it is replete
with wealth in minerals, in timber and
in fertile valleys of almost unequalled
climate for health and vigor. This sec
ton is almost equal to the Austrian
empire in its area, and more than
equal in it's resources. It has a sparse
population of only one or two millions.
The Austrian empire has over $1,000
600. The healthy upland country of
Georgia, Alabama, and the Carolinas
certain vast areas of fertile woodland,
which can be bought by the hundred
thousand acres at a half a dollar, or two
shillinzs, an acre, Oh which sheep and
thrive equally well. These sections
are being slowly occupied by white
farmers, and wait for immigrants who
can bring them to use. In a few short
years sheep, fed mainly upon the ker-
mel of the cotton seed and upon the
grasses that follow the cotton, will send
to market from the same fields, alter
nately occupied, as much wool as cot
ton. This warm section is more than
equal to Italy in area; it has perhaps
100000 people. Italy contains q
100000. The fertile lands of the She
nandoah valley in Virginia, and along
the Potomac in Maryland, more than
equal Belgium. They may contain
half a million of people. Belgium has
more than 100000. In the consider
alton of this problem of productive ca
pacity, there are other factors Of the
greatest importance. What are the
burdens to be borne by our people
compared to others? What is the
mortgage on this land that we possess?

Germany'S Army Difficulty.

The development of the German
army has met with a check which is
likely to prove absolute, as it comes,
not from the parliament OF any other
political body which might be managed,
but from the nation itself 1t has long
been difficult to procure the necessary
number of officers, and it now seems
impossible. The army is already in
sufficiently officered, and there are no
applicants ready to supply the new
cadres with which it shall be increased
this fall. The greatest inducements have
been offered to allure young men to the
army, Half of the places at the mill
tary academies are free Large funds
have been raised to aid the young
officer in buying Ills very costly equip
mpnt when he first enters the army.
The pay is enormous. The salary of
a sub-lieutenant is twice as high as that
of a young professor ofphilosophy, and
three times as high as that of a coun-
try parson. Nevertheless, the induce
ments have not been strong enough to
outweigh the disadvantages. First, the
question of nobility plays an obstruc-
tive part. In the Imperial Body Guard,
no one can become lieutenant who
does not belong to the very nobility of
the country, and is not willing to keep
his affiliations pure. Thus a Count
Eulenburg, lieutenant in that corps, re-
Gently received a very harsh rebuke
from his chief because he was about to
marry lady of too new nobility. The
rebuke was answered with challenge,
and the challenge with incarceration
and degradation. Next, the career is
very expensive. Though the salaries
are am ply sufficient to form home
and raise a family in easy circum-
stances, they are, Of course, not suf-
ticient to give grand entertainments and
brilliant balls, to keep race-horses and
opera dancers, to f1aunt at Baden-Baden
and gamble at Monaco, and these
things have become almost necessary
ornaments of military life in Germany
Finally, though one would think that
laurels of the last wars must exercise
great charm on all ambitious youths,
so great is, nevertheless, the power Of
the spirit of our age that, even in Ger
many, the peaceful arts, more especial
ly the comm ercial and industrial pur-
suits, attract almost exclusiv ely the
energy of the people, and the military
demands have to be supplied from
those classes in which family habits or
prejudices determine the choice of
position. But this supply is insufficient
and great anxiety is felt in military
circles in Berlin, for though it has been
possible by the aid of parliament, to
compel disproportionately great num-
ber of the young men of the people to
serve very long term as soldiers, it
would hardly be possible, by any kind
of device, to compel one of them to
serve his whole life as an officer.

that they worship idols. Apart, how
ever, from their religion, which is no
worse than many others, and their
hatred of the Moslem, the Kaf1s can
fairly challenge our sympathy for their
bravery and their personal resemblance

stimulated by the little knowledge we
already possess of this supposed rem

Strange Restoration Of Memory After
F1ftcen- Year Lapse.
Syracuse On. W Correspondence of the New York
Sun.
In a plain but neat little story-and-a-
half white house, 149 Townsend street,
lives a German girl named Amelia
Hosch, who passed her 26th birthday
on the 18th of January last. The great
er part of her !ife-fully fifteen years =
has been a blank. In her childhood
Amelia was considered an unusually
bright girl. She early learned to read
and write both English and German,
and could play the piano with consid-
cradle skill. When between 10 and II
years of age she was attacked with
fever and ague. This soon developed
into bysterical fits, and in few weeks
the girl lost her reason. Her power of
speech left her, and her limbs refused
to support her. She became helpless
imbecile, and did not leave her bed ex-
cept when lifted from it. From four to
eight times a night and from two to
six times day she was seized with the
most violent paroxysms. Many times it
was thought that she was drawing her
last breath. Medicines of every kind
were tried, but without effect. In
March, 1879, DR.. A. III. Tankie visited
the girl and made..a diagnosis of her
case. He combined q preparation of
his own with one obtained from a
professor in Columbia College, New
York. The second night after Amelia
began taking the preparation she slept
all night, something she had not done
before in fifteen years. She began to
increase in flesh, and in June uttered
the first words that she had spoken
since she was first attacked Gradually
her power of speech returned, and with
it her memory The period of her
mental slumber is blank, and she is
more of a child than woman, except
in years. She tells Of what she saw in
her childhood and sings the songs that
she used to sing in her Sunday-school
Although she has received no instruc-
tions since her recovery, she can read,
write, figure, and do everything that
she did before she lost her reason.
When asked about her illness she looks
at the questioner in a wondering way
she knows nothing about it. She
now weighs about 140 pounds-nearly
twice as much as she did before she be-
gan taking the preparation. She is a
strong, healthy-looking young woman.
She articulates rather slowly, but her
replies are prompt and correct. While
talking with the correspondent Of the
San she said: "I know everything 1
used to know" She likes to talk and
embraces every opportunity to con-
verse that is offered The case excites
the wonder of physicians, and a great
