The Germans Advised to Stay at HOME

The Germans Advised to Stay at HOME,
From the New York Evening Post.
The StGdtblat, publishes at Bunzlau, in
Prussia, on the occasion of a number of
families leaving the town and neighbor-
hood to seek q home in the great re-
public, printed the following note
of warming and discouragement from the
German CONSUL General in New York:
"The belief seems to prevail in Germany
that in the United States there is an act
i've business prosperity. This is wholly
incorrect. Of business activity there is
little or none, but there are the most up-
mistakable signs that the whole of North
America is on the eve of an industrial (oko-
nom,ische>> crisis, as the ever spreading de-
irum( schacindeD makes sound business
basis impossible, and, owing to this, too,
during the last year no fewer than two hun
dred and eighty one (sicD failures Of large
firms occurred, a number exceeding any
previous year; it is consequently difficult
for any one to get work, and many emil
grants who have come to the United States
with bright hopes are now in the greate st
distress. If the exodus from Germany to
the United States does not soon cease, or
greatly diminish, the emigrants will have to
face the most frightful destitu6on:s It
would be well, therefore, for:every one in
tending to leave his country to take this
step ouly on. the assurance that he will Sc.
cure living in his new home Whoever
is not compelled fromsome cause to emil
crate, or is not possessed of considerable
means, had better stay ut home" /.

ought to be taken into consideration. Shear
according to the condition Of the weather
and not according to date. So.
After shearing, sheep should be protected
I for several days from storms. The skin of
tho animal is very bare and open, and when
the wool is OFT, rain easily penetrates it..
The sheep should be cared for until the sys-
tenn hasadapted itself to- the great change
which results from removing such pro-
lection as heavy fleece. Neglecting to OBJ
serve this precaution has proved fatal to
many valuable sheep, Nor should the new
~ sheared sheep be left out at right OBJ
servahce of these things will be valuable to
those who are beginning, and those who
are experienced always observe them, it is
presumed.

A gentleman of Minneapolis has recently
invented q beautiful, convenient and etfec-

subaqueous localities, either for scientific
purposes, amusement or profit. It is not
constructed with q view to magnify objects

beholder to distinctly discern objects seen
IN the water as clearly Us in air.. On calm,

strument will enable the observer to see
from twenty five to one hundred and fifty
feet.
A dispatch from Berlin, Germany, of the

known electricians, gave to-day public
trial of their new electric railroad, which
runs between Litchtenfeld and Caddetten-
hause, six miles from Berlin. The trial
was an entire success. It was made in
sample tram car with an electric battery
concealed Between the wheels. It was car
ried through the rails on which it ran with
the principal battery at the station. Tho
rails are thirty nine inches part and exactly
resembling those of an ordinary railroad
gauge, being narrower. The greater speed
obtained was. eighteen English niles an
