Why the Germans Emigrate to
America.

The tide of emigration from Germany
continues to attract large share of at
tention. The HandeIsJiatt, of Hamburg,
after informing its readers that the num-
Der of immigrants landed in the United
States in 1878 was 159. 207. in 1879
$50. 565, and in 1880 CSC, O6S, goes on to
calculate that each individual brings in
his labor capital of 81 200. and that the
total value of the labor thus conveyed to
the United States during the last five
years has been about 800. OOO. 900. mo
wonder" exclaims the HandeLs5IGtt,
that the United States of America
prospersr The FfandeH5Iat, of the
same city, in its correspond
ence from Schleswig, where
the emigration movement has assumed
large proportions, suggests some of the
motives influencing the people who go.
Fathers with their sons, and a great
many more sons alone, leave the coun-
try to escape the burden OF a three
years military service" The people ex-
press the opinion that "onlY an idiot is
unable to learn the required drilling and
shooting in two years" and that "a
strong man, with sound sense, can learn
the whole affair in one year." But
for this enforced service, it is said,
Germany would retain thousands Of
able bodied, strong young men, who now
turn their strength and fortunes to a new
home on the other side of the Allan
tic. An example of the decrease in
wages is afforded in the manufacture of
a certain kind of velvet which, in the
five years from 1869 to 1874. paid the
weaver for his labor at the rate of from
Sc to u cents a yard. AT present for the
same labor the weaver gets but 33 cents,
and from some manufacturers but %.
Prince Bismarck's protective tariff has
much to do if it is declined to cure this
state of things 1t might be supposed
that this scantiness of wages is counter
balanced by corresponding cheapness of
food But this is not the case. A labor
er, for example, who works eleven hours
day, getting SO cents per day, pays 10
cents a dozen for eggs, about % cents a
pound for butter, 81 so per barrel for
-four and Is cents per pound for mutton.

The Drought in the West.

A dispatch from Noble, Illinois, says
"Still the unmerciful drought that has
prevailed in this region of country for
the last nine weeks, with one or two
dust-dampening exceptions, holds on,
and the result is, blasted corn fields,
withered vegetation, dried-up pastures
and a general scarcity of the water sup
ply, the like of which does not come in
range of the knowledge of the sixty-year,
old settler of the country Thousands
of acres of corn will not produce a sin
gle 'nubbin, and tens of thousands Of
acres more will not yield peck to the
acre, while bushel to the acre, on the
average for all of Southern Illinois,
would be a large estimate. What the
people will do for grain to keep their
stock on and to fatten their meat is a
question that puzzles the most astute,
and well it may, for it is matter of such
seriousness that it is folly to make light
of it."

The StalWarts In COuneiI-Current
RumOrS.

A New York dispatch says: 'Vice
President Arthur had a number of
visitors on Saturday. At half-past nine
o'clock IN the morning Police Commits
siOner French called and was followed
by General Grant and COnkling. Sena-
tor Jones, of Nevada, also called. They
all had long interviews with General
Arthur, staying for more than two
hours. At noon neither General Grant
or ex-senator Conkling had left the Vice
Presidents house. 1t is believed that
they were in deep conference. Many
rumOrs are predicted as to the new Cabi-
net in case of Arthur's coming into the
power. 1t is conceded that only two
now in office will remain-Windom and
Lincoln. Either Conkling or Fish will
be Secretary Of State. Grant can run
anything in or out of the Cabinet he
may desire. The town is filed with ru-
mors and reports of coming changes.
At earliest moment will send reliable
news of these to be made"

A correspondent of the Washington
ECeHing Star urges the holding of
Worlds Peace Congress in Washington
city in 1884. The writer says: "The
National Arbitration League OF wash
ington, D. c., desire to make an appeal
to the friends of humanity everywhere
for moral support in their great under
taking. which has for its aim the peace
on earth and good will TO men so long
prayed for. The movement has been
ORGANIZED for many months. Its object
is the settlement Of all international dis
putes by arbitration, to be brought
about by agitation in every ma
ton, but especially by a worlds
conference at Washington in 1884,
when, from all parts of the earth, great
numbers will be in attendance at the con
templated Boston Worlds Fair. This
seems to be time when a movement OF
this kind could become practicable.
Many travellers over the earth agree that
there are in all civilized countries per
sons of influence who have means, know
the English language, and would be glad
of the honor to come as representatives
to a convention of this magnitude. This
assembly, after mature deliberatlon on
mans moral and social relations, would
probably conclude to issue an
address to the world, advising,
among other things, the organization
of a family of nations TO so educate
the people on a peace footing that
it would be practicable by the dawn of
the twentieth century to disband armies
and navies all over the earth. The re-
cent desire of some of the countries in
South America for arbitration from the
United States, after being desolated by
war, makes this undertaking at this time
very important one. Many Of the
clergy express desire of preaching on
the good time coming when sword and
cannon can be used for wire and rail.
1t is hoped that arbitration leagues will
be commenced in every county in the
United States, as well as in all the other
countries, so that it will be very IN
popular for those in power to expend so
many millions for war, when education
is everywhere so much demanded"

The PIOUs ASSASSIN IN HIS CELL
A Washington special says: The gate
and rear window of Guiteau's cell are in
full view of guards in the rOtunda. The
only furniture in the cell is the cot,
which serves as bed and seat, and on the
sill of the window he keeps his Bible
and a few religious books, spending.
however, most Of his time reading the
former. Since his exploit with the
guard McGill, about a week ago, it has
been ascertained that at that time he was
much excited, it is believed, because he
had by some means become impressed
with the belief that some parties intend
ed to attack the jail for the purpose OF
killing him. Since then he has become
more composed in mind, and the guards
seldom have occasion to speak to him,
for when not reading his Bible he is
writing"

GRAIN EXPORTED TO GERMANY
Consul Grinnell, Of Bremen, reports,
under date Of August S. 1881, to the De
partment of State at Washington that
the importation Of Indian corn into Ger
many during the SIX months ended July
1, 1881, amounted to 100000 bushels,
and that the latter half of the year will
show q much larger importation of this
excellent staple Of food, which, when
better known in the country, will in
crease to an indefinite extent. There
have been but few shipments of wheat
and rye this year. The American flour,
which is prepared in a better manner and
at a cheaper rate than perhaps that of
any other country, has been interdicted
by duty Of % cents per 100 pounds
This tax was established by the Reich
stag at its last session. The duties on
Indian corn, buckwheat and barley are
six cents per 100 pounds, and twelve
cents per hundred weight for wheat, rye
and oats.

The following piece of information is
from the London Times. II SAYS: 'SOme
time ago an Austrian chemist is said to
have devised a new sOpOriic, the action
of which is so rapid and powerful that
a few drops Of it sprinkled on the head
and face will effectually stupefy man
in a few seconds, and render him utterly
defenseless. He gave it the name of
'baendiger, or tanner, and offered the Sc
cret to the Austrian Government But
the Austrian Government has not only
refused to purchase it, but has ordered
the police authorities TO formally notify
the inventor to discontinue his expert
ments, and to abstain utterly from using
his invention in any way, or to cOmmu
nicate it to others, under pain Of being
criminally dealt with.

CORN IN THE WEsT.-The Chicago
Times has reports from seven Of the corn
growing States of the West, from which
it draws the conclusion that in Illinois
the crop will be three-fifths of that of last
year, which was a remarkably good one;
in Iowa the yield in some sections will
be so per cent below that of last year,
and IN no section is full crop expected
in Missouri along drought has let down
the crop from one fourth to one half,
and IN Kansas the crop will fall eonsid-
erably below the average. Kentucky,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Nebraska
have suffered from drought, and the
corn crop in each Of them will be con-
siderably reduced.

EXIT SEssIOSs.-The Republicans of
the thirty -secOnd Senatorial district Of
New York have done creditable thing
in RELOCATING to private life State Senator
Loren B. Sessions. He was a candidate
for denomination, but the convention on
Friday last, after many ballots, conferred
the nomination on Norman NJ Allen,
who, like Sessions, is a strong anti
COnkling man. 1t will be remembered
that Senator Sessions was charged with
an attempt to bride Representative Brad
ley during the late Senatorial contest
at Albany, and whilst he denied that
charge on examination he told how he
had acted as lobbyist and paid large
sums for the passage of certain bills.
Such q man is a discredit TO any legis-
lative body, and for the sake of decency
it is to be hoped Sessions has now re
ceived his final political quietus.

A writer in the New York press claims
that the Vice President can never legally
become President unless elected so by
the people. The duties, but not the title
and rank of President, devolve upon the
Vice President in case of a vacancy in
the Presidential Office, and it is asserted
that John Tyler, Willard Fillmore and
Andrew johnson had no right to the ii.
tie of President. although performing
the duties of the Office.

Senator Butler, of South Carolina, has
a proper conception of journalism. IN
a recent letter to a local paper he says:
Journalism has become as much a
separate and distinct profession as medi-
cine, or law, or engineering, or agricul-
ture, OF architecture, or mining,
and every family should have a
newspaper if they expect or care
to keep pace with the current Of events
in this fast moving age. Books are not
always accessible, but newspapers are,
and at a price that places it within the
reach of the poor as well as the rich. !"

Under the head of "a Wife Worth Having"
a correspondent of the Aiken IS. c. Journal
and ReUieiC, speaking of a visit to the Hon.

cannot help remarking that Mrs Tillman is
one of the most energetic and wonderful wo-
men in the State. Notwithstanding the cares

managers of farm in Edgefeld county. Ow-

the plantation over to her, and she has proven
equal to the emergency. Such a woman is an

his public duties have called him away from

absences Mrs Smith has had charge of his ex-
