In the Days of '63.

The New York Methodist recalls an in
ccldent from the war which touches on the
sublime and refreshes ones trust in the
better IL. pulses of mankind, even under
the roar of ccanI.2n and the clouds of the
battlefield. The story is as follows:
'In the spring of 1868 two great ar
mics we're encamped on opposite eides of
the Rappahannock river-one dressed in
blue, the other in gray. AS the twilight
fell the band began to play the Star
Spangled Banner and Rally Round the
Flag, and the challenge Of music was
taken up on the other side and they re-
sponded with the Bonnie Blue Flag and
Away Down South in Dixie. 1t was
borne in upon the soul of single soldier
in one of those bands of music to begin a
sweeter and more tender air, and slowly
as he played it they joined in a sort of
chorus of the instruments upon the Union
side, until finally a mighty chorus swelled
up and down our army-Home, Sweet
Home. When they had finished there
was no challenge yonder, for every band
upon that farther shore had taken up the
lovely air, so attuned to all that is holiest
and dearest, and the one great chorus of
the the sSrest hosts want up to God; and
when they had finished, from the boys in
gray came challenge. Three cheers for
homer and as they went resoundmg
through the skies from both sides of the
river, something on the soldiers cheeks
washed off the stains Of POWDER

American Newspaper Languages.

There can be no more striking exposi
ton of the diverse character of the ele.
ments which go to make up the American
nation than a consideration of the number
and variety of periodicals published
within the United States in languages
other than the Anglo-Saxon. No person
| who has visited one of our great cities
| could fail to notice the babel of different
tongues to be heard on the streets. but
few will be prepared to readily accept
the fact that the circle of American Jour
nalism embraces fourteen distinct
languages that one in every eighteen
periodical publications within the United
States appears wholly or in part in what
may be called a foreign language, or that
622 of the II, 1876 papers and magazines
In this country is closed book to the
American who has studied nothing but
his mother tongue. AS may be supposed
the German is far more largely repre-
sented in this line than all the other
languages combined, not only numeri-
caily but in journalistic enterprise, scope,
'and general character. Amer ic. n publ
cations in the German language comprise
meropoliton dailies of the highest stand
ard, illustrated weeklies and monthlies,
exponents of every branch of trade, com
merce, manufacturing or industrial occu-
patton, organs Of the various guilds, Sc
cret societies, religions and modes of re-
igious Or anti-religious thought, and |
magazines devoted to almost every de-
partment of literature, art and science. |
In all they number 481. The majority
are distributed through those states lying
in the line Of Teutonic migration, which,
starting in two converging streams from
the decks OF the ocean steamers in New
York and from the American cradle of
the race in Pennsylvania, has occupied
the land along the great central belt,
stretching from the Atlantic ocean to the
Missouri river. The state of New York
takes the lead with ~ German publica-
ions Pennsylvania has 20; Ohio, 55;
Indiana, "a; Illinois, ~; Iowa, 80; Mis-
'ouri, 50; and Wisconsin, 45. Thirty-two
states and one territory (Dakota) are
in the list Of German news
,apers, some Of the New England states,
several Of the Southern, and the territories
icing the excepted divisions.
