zCROSS FRANCE IN WINTER TIME.
To diffusive and extravagant Ameri-
csns the most striking features of the
country are the compactness of the hab-
itations and the extreme economy
may almost say the parsimony-of the
method of tillage. Every square foot
Of ground is put to use has been muse
for unnumbered generations. Here and
there in the distance appear patches OF
wood, carefully preserved and guarded
but the rest of the land is almost bare
of shade. There is no brush or tangle
of weed and wild flower by Sfiie road
side, no thicket by the stream. The last
of these trespasssers were eradicated
ages ago, along rwith the last. stump.
A gray stone-wall borders the highways
The crossroads are often sunk two On
three feet below the general level. Mar
row ridges OF earth mark the, boundaries
of the fields, and the furrows are driven
SO close to them that it is q &ondeEAoWg
the pillow is turned. Single rows Of pope
lars stretch with exasperatfng regularity
across the landscape. They are trimmed 4
close, and sometimes every twig is re-
moved except bunch Gt,the Extreme
top; then they look like liberty poles
with bushes tied to them. There are
willows by the brook, but they are pol
lard-willows, kept for their twigs, which
are scrupulonsly cut of, and they lift
their SCARED and: knotted trunks, like
hands from5Yhich all the fingers have
been, sanpll sated. One beauty Of the

German Servants.

In their own country they are admirable, clean, obliging, and wonderfully hard work ing, but they lack the finish of good English servants. One great merit they certainly possess-though orderly in their work, yet if the daily routine is interrupted they are not utterly upset and demoralized. Our servant kept eight rooms clean, and very clean, never a speck of dust to be seen, cooked for herself and the landlady, fetched our dinner from the restaurant, carried up to our etage (the second) all the wood and water that was quired, scrubbed the stairs and passage every week, and yet was always ready to run mes sage or post letter, and dressed in her best, frequently went with me to the evening con cert, and came back to fetch me at 10 o'clock. She was never in bed until II, and was at work by 6, neat and smiling, with no shade of the weary, jaded look so sad to see in an English s'slavey." It is a mistake to sup pose that wages are very low in Germany; e20 is very usual sum for cook, and one servant we had in our lodging when she mar ried had e40 in the savings bank. The econ omy in German household is that the ser wants live very plainly, and one does the work that with us would be divided between two or three. The feeling of attachment and interest in F'the honor of the family" so ob- servable in Scotch servants, is very general, and without undue familiarity German ser wants are allowed to share i'll the joys and sorrows of their employers. The men servants are strikingly free from the insolent swagger of HJeames,' and show the same simplicity of nature as their masters. l remember a triaing incident which greatly amused me. When was going to an audience at royal Schloss. as I got out of the carriage-a bow of my sash caught in the door and was torn of.
 'sOh, what a pity, Gnadiges Fraulein!' ex
 claimed one of the frrnkies who was assisting me. ''Never mind, I can pin it onr' and, pro- ducing pin, he carried out his promise with a neat handedness worthy of an old soldier,
 which no doubt he was.
Morning journal and courier., 1884-09-03
THE APPROXIMATION.


 The Democratic State convention held i'll Hartford resembled the Republican conven- ton held in this city in one respect-there was ''1ond call'' for the nominee for gov. ernor. It was clear from the beginning that the convention wanted Governor Waller to run again, and though there were few feeble efforts to turn the tide they availed nothing and he was renominated by very hattering vote, and the nomination was then made unanimous. He has not yet refused to accept, and we do not think he will. He has written some very wise letters saying that he did not want the nomination, but we do not believe he is the man to throw it away now he has it.
 The Republicans have no reason to feel blue, or green either, over the action of the convention. Governor Waller has done some good things while he has been in office. He is what is known as brilliant man." He makes fine appear ance in public. But we suppose it will not be seriously asserted that he is in any way superior as a candidate for the governorship to the nominee of the Repub- licans. We do not intend to make detailed comparison of the two candidates. Both are known all over the State, and the candidate of the Republicans was known before the Democratic candidate was heard of The voters need no information concerning the record and public services of the two. They will make their own comparison, and the Hon. Henry B: Harrison cannot suffer from it.
 But while the Republicans have no reason to be displeased with the renomination of Governor Waller, it is no secret that many of the Democrats who voted for him with more or less cheerfulness two years ago are very much displeased with yesterdays work. That 'Sheavenly harmony" which usually adorns the Democratic party in this State is not sc apparent this year as it might be, and the Republicans have reason to feel encouraged by the situation.
 It was a rather severe proceeding to leave ''Long Tomn Sanford off the ticket, when all the rest received renominations. But the Democratic party cannot afford to incur any suspicion of leaning toward temperance, and therefore MT. Sanford had to go. We con gratuIate MT. Plunkett upon his success. The platform is a skillful one and bears the marks of Mir. A. E. Burr's' adroit work. Il will not hurt anybody's feelings, and thougf parts of it do not F'consist' with what passes for pure Democracy nowadays it is well cal culated to allure. But we do not believe that it's invitation to liberal and independent voters will count for much in Governor Wal ler's favor. There is considerable evidence l
 The effort to oust Chairman Gallagher was a failure, and the old war horse will ono more snuff the battle and prance vigorously Governor Waller will need all the work tha can be done for him.
