Herr Gustav Ruemelin, Chancellor
of the University Of Tubingsn and a
thoughtful writer on educational and
social topics. has recently issued a
pamphlets which takes a discouraging
view Of the increase of population in
Germany as compared with her capac-
ity to support life. He finds that
during the past decade the net in
crease Of population has been about
81 COO, 900, and the ratio is likely to
grow larger owing to the increasing
number Of youthful marriages; SO that
at the end Of the century the popula-
ton of the Empire will probably be
81 100000. Herr Ruemelin intimates
that the Fatherland is now living ON
the savings of more prosperous times.
and his conclusion is that unless some
ssfety-valve, not now apparent, is dis
covered, this undue growth of the
German population may prove in the
future the source, not only of danger
to Germany, but of trouble to Eu-
rope"

IrastuS Rust, shoemaker from
Uartersburg, was released from the
county Jail yesterday, where he has
been serving out sentence for drunk
enness. He is nearly forty years old
and spent four years in the war of the
rebellion as member of the Ninth
Ohio regiment. An incident in his
soldier life that will attract general
notice was thus related by Rust to
Times reporter: AT the battle Of
Mill Springs our regiment and the
Second Minnesota were stationed near
together. The company to which I
belonged had been standing idle for a
few minutes, when my captain came
running down the line and said, Rust,

In view the unfavorable criticisms
that have been now and then heard on
American surgeons since the shooting
of President Garfield, the Cinninnati
Yolkefreund publishes an extract
from an address by the famous Ger
man Professor, DR.. Virchow. In the
course of his address the Professor
presented a comparative view of the
sufferings endured by wounded SOL
aiers in the different armies of the
civilized world. The following pas
sage occurs;
But it must here be said that it
has not been necessity alone that has
discovered evil and found the remedy.
During the Crimean WAT the French
learned little or nothing, while the
North Americans, during their civil
war, learned so much that from that
time new era in military medical
practice began. This did not arise
from the greatness of the emergency
the Americans were called on to face,
for this was not more serious than
that of the French in the
Crimea. 1t was rather the crit
ical, genuinely scientific spirit, the
mind open to receive impressions, the
sound and practical understanding,
which, by degrees. permeated all cir
Giles Of the army administration, and
which helped on by that marvellous
assistance rendered by the whole PEG
pie, at length attained the highest re-
suits ever reached in the humane con-
duct of q great war. Whoever will
take up and read the publications OF
the American military staff will be
continually astonished anew at the
richness OF the experiences therein
noted. The utmost closeness and ex
actness of detail, statistics carried
down to the most minute point, a
presentation Of facts gathered from all
sides of medical experience, have been
here brought together, in order that
the knowledge bought at so dear a
price might be transmitted in its most
complete form to the world of the
present and of the future"

A pleasant little "Reminiscences of
Mr.. Webster, told by an elderly lady,
is quoted by q correspondent Of the
Providence Press. When only eight
years old she met one morning hand
some man, whose deep eyes and mas
sive head she had seen represented in
pictures hung upon her Wing fathers
wall. So impressed was she by this
face and the wonderful eyes that she
stared with all her might at the
great statesman, and he, meet
ing this intense regard from
the childish eyes, returned the gaze
with some curiosity. Presently the
little maiden comes to standstill.

brings the hero also to pause,
while a smile lights up bis lace.
What does the little maid
desire Of him2 She only wants to
shake hands Wits Daniel Webster,
who face she knows from her fathers
pictures, and whose name and fame
she knows and loves from her fathers
lips. Into what childish phrase she
put this she does not know, but she
recalls the soft look in the deep eyes,
the gentle touch upon her hand and
head and cheek, and the pleasant voice
and pleasant words. ITS forty odd
