DURING the year 1880, 1O6,191 German
emigrants sailed from Germany, or m ore
than three times as many as the preceding
year. This enormous increase is due in
part to the fairer prospects which the gener-
al prosperity of this country has offered, in
part to the growing aversion to military SER
vice at home.

WE hear from the Advertiser that when
Madame de Stael "was selected by the malice
of Napoleon, and wrote to himIfor help, he
was too shrewd and too selfish to respond,
although he owed to her his restoration
from exile in America" 1t is not set down
in the chronicles that Napoleon was ever in

PROVIDENCE journal: 1t is difficult to
understand in what way the government of
the United States has derogated it's dignity
in the terms of the Chinese treaty, as repre-
sented by the solid men of Boston in their
petition against it's confirmation. 1t does
not appear in the language, which is worthy
and dignifed as it is simple, nor can we nm
derstand why provision excluding traffic
in opium can be considered as a sacrifice in
dignity, even if it amounts to nothing in
substance. So far as we can understand
the question, if there is any lack OF dignity
at all, it is in the original demand for the
abrosation of treaty negotiated by for
mer citizen of the United States and accept
ed by this country, as not only wise, but
liberal, because we have changed our
views under the influence of caste
prejudice; and if there is any arrogance,
it is not on the part of the semi
civilized, but of the civilized nation.
This country has made demand upon Chi
ma for restriction upon emigration, which
we had formerly demanded against its will,
and that demand has been complied with,
perhaps with secret contempt, but certainly
not with any outward show of arrogance,
unless it was arrogance in the lamb to insist
that he was not fouling the water when he
was drinking below the wolf. 1t may be
considered by the merchants of Boston, who
petition against the treaty, that it is a prop
er assertion of diguity on the part of a civil
lized nation toward a semi-civilized nation,
to abandon all forms of civility or pretence
of equality, and carry on diplomatic negoti-
tions in the form of commands from a supe-
rior to an inferior. That was apparently
not the idea of Minister Angel and the
Commissioners, who met the Chinese in the
spirit of international courtesy, conducted
the negotiations as though they had some
rights, and signed the treaty in spirit of
reasonable reciprocity. ..

The Enects OF Climate.

A climate not necessarily unhealthy often
proves so to those unaccustomed to it. The
acclimating process seems unusually slow in
some constitutions. There is, however, a
medicinal means of acclimating it of which
residents and sojourners in unaccustomed or
malarious climates have not been slow to
avail themselves. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers is a medicinal safeguard and acclimating
tonic of standard reputation, which travellers,
emigrants, tourists, mariners, and others
whose tastes and pursuits entail exposure,
subsection to changes of temperature, unusual
or unwholesome diet or water, and the fatigue
attendant upon long journeys by land or sea,
concur in pronouucipg it reliable, agreeable
and safe. As a remedy for disorders of the
liver. stomach and bowels, very prevalent in
malarious regions and the tropics, as pre-
ventive Of fever and ague. rheumatism and
kidney troubles, and as a restorative of vigor,
it is also held in the highest estimation.

such course Z"
II cannot; we were all friends. They
say they have right to dispose of their own
stock as they think proper. They held 9. 200

which gives him the control. The sale in.
