The Great German Empire.

The annual Statistical Register of thu
ierman Empire for the years 1Ss4-SE hal
ust been published. 1t shows that in the
entire world the number of Germans who
speak the native language aud follow Ger
man customs may be calculated at 10000,
600. OF these 1000, 900 belong to Ger
many, 5000, 900 to Austria, 1000, 900 to
Hungary, 1000, 900 to Switzerland, 1885,
600, to Russia, SO that there still remains
1880, 900 for other parts. OF these 81
$780, 900 are scattered in the remaining
European countries, 1000 900 in the United
States and Canada, 500, 900 in South Ameri
"a. The remnant of 100000 may b,
divided between Africa, Australia and Asia
No other European nation has yet attained
10 the high figures of 70,0Oo,o00. The
great Germanic family is far more numerous
than either the Slavs or the Latins.

"The Maiden Assn nee society.

"The Maiden ASSN nee Society"
The Maiden Assurance Society" is a
somewhat singular business institution in
Denmark. The nobleman-for the associa-
ton is peculiarly for this class--as soon rs
child is born to him, enrolls her name in
certain association of noble families, and
pays certain sum, and thereafter fixed
amount to the society. When she has reach
ed the age of twenty-one she becomes en-
titled to fixed income, and to an elegant
suite of apartments in large building Of
the association, with gardens and park
about it, inhabited by other young or
older noble ladies who have thus become
members. If her father dies in her youth,
and she desires it, she has shelter in this
building and at the fixed time her income.
When she dies or is married all her right tc
income lapses, and the money paid in swells
the endowment of the association. But
this very chance must enable the company
to charge lower annual premiums and make
the burden less on the father insuring. He
has at any rate the pleasant feeling that his
small annual payments are insuring his
daughters future and giving her comfor-
table home and income after he is gone. 1t
is obvious that the chances for marriage
among given number of women can be
calculated as closely as those of death.
The plan has worked well in Copenhagen.

Sore Eyes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids infiamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced painful in
fiammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for number of years, BY the
advice of physician l commenced taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine short time was completely

ton, and am as well and strong as ever.

I suffered for year with inflamma-
ton in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball. depriving me OF sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, was final
ly induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla.
BY Taking
three bottles of this medicine have been
entirely cured. My sight has been re-
stored, and there is no sign of infamma-
ton, sore, or ulcer in my eye. - Kendall

My daughter, ten years old, was afflict-
ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During
the last two years she never saw light of
any kind. Physicians of the highest
standing exerted their skill, but with no
permanent success. On the recommen-
dation of friend purchased bottle Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, which my daughter
commenced taking. Before she had used
the third bottle her sight was restored.
Her cure is complete. ~ w. X. Suthcr-

kInNaPPHNe IN CUBA.

How the Children of the Wealth
are stolen and Held for Ransom.
A young Cuban was lately secuestrado
5y banditti and afterwards restored to hi
parents for ninety-two centenes-near $500.
1t is quite common in the country il
Cuba, writes Havana correspondent, TO
young men and boys-usually the sons o.
rich parents--to be secuestrado,n which
is being captured and held in concealmen
by banditti, until such sums as they choose
% demand of the parents be paid them.
The sum exacted is more or less large ae-
,ording to the reputed wealth of the
parents.
The secuestradon is sometimes done il
sle boldcst, most positive but most polite
manner, thus
The banditti find out-often through
secret information furnished by SOM
person or persons living in the neighbor
iood of the coveted captive-what tn,
movements Of the family are and when to
make the attack. The latter point settled,
hey ride up to the house, dismount, enter,
salute the family in the most polite manner,
Ind demand certain sum of money or the
ION as hostage till the required sum is paid.
IN default ofmoney- which is usually the case
the son is carried off. The parents dare
,ot refuse to let him go-for unlike Sher.
.dan-they are afraid, as on the least shov
Of resistance politeness takes wings and dis
spears, and daggers and pistols without col
fee appear on the scene.
When the prize is not captured in thit
highly refined and civilized (?) manner,
,ut is caught wandering off by himself il
ONE lonely spot, the parents are notified o.
he capture by receiving note from TIN
,anditti-no doubt B. L. M.--demandinl
The money. This, in return, is sent at once
the son Is returned to the happy bosom o
lis delighted family and no questions are
lsked.
The parents considering themselves only

d to them, dare not either pursue the high
Sny kidnappers or bring them to justice
sven if they know their exact whereabouts
as they fear n "cenganga." This,
revenge-is, indeed, quite often serious
In some cases whole plantations, crops
houses md oil perish by fire to crafty a
sngansa. In fact, cengangas seem TO be
cared to such an extent that many o1enses

,ften unresented by indiyi iuals here.
Little boys of timid spirit do not quak,
in your shoes. Cuban boys thus stolen OF
re known to have como back from thes

,ccounts of the good treatment, fine rides,

Young men, to guard against such cap

often constantly attended by guard o.
from three to four men.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. "a, 1886.

Our Wedding Trip.
Our wedding day, dear Johns and mine,
AT last, at last had come;
When we as two should cease to be,
And love andliye as one.
How eagerly we talked about
The places where we'd go;
Al maiden fear was lulled to rest,
We loved each other So
The words were said that made us one
Wewept our last good-Dyes;
Ger summer seas we sailed and sailed
To lands with bluer skies.
Where Amos waters swiftly slip
Meath Ponte Yecchio's stones;
Where Santa Croce's marble saints
Watch Ger her honored bones.
Where CLEAN the gems Of art divine
On church andpalace walls;
Where en- the ear The sistne chant
Like seraph music falls.
Across fair Naples azure bay,
Where Capri's smiling shore
Woos those wholove TO feast for aye,
Never to wander more.
Through all that land OF art and song,
Where love holds sway supreme,
We roamed and quaffed life's richest draught
And lived as In dream.
Was this Indeed our wedding trip?
No, Only what we talked;
We went from mothers house to Johns
And John and both walked.

Thoughts for Farmers.

The recently published volume OF
Secretary Manning's statistics OF trade
and commerce contains some solid
chun ks of wisdom, which may benefit
our American farmers who are incliHed
to accept the free trade dogma. Not
wlthstanding the fact that we are large
lexporters Of grain and fruit, Mr.. Man
ning's report shows that we have i'm
portsd from the soil Of foreign countries
during Ave years, breadstuffs and
preparations thereof, S47, 030 626; fruits
preserved and raw, SO, 374, 791; tobacco,
SAG, 149, 200; vegetables, $lS, 400, 9S7;
raw woods, $52, 903 9S1, making an an
nual average for five years Of S4S, 49,
1856 The Philadelphia News, referring
TO this, says the duty on these foreign
products OF the farm was about
% ,000, 900 per anpum, making tteir
DIAL value In the hands OF importers
$40, 772, 735. Estimating that 10 per
cent. OF the value represents labor, II
would give employment to 1866. 1856 farm
hands, at an average Of $500 year In
wages TO produce that value OF the
soil in this country. II the imported
products of the farm we have men
toned were grown upon American soil,
and those of the workshop were manu-
fae,ured In the United States, the effscl
would be to give employment to 551, 00(
additional hands now out Of employ
ment; to cause large advance Of
wages in every branch Of American
industry; and by increasing the pay.
roll Of wages ten million dollars 6
week, and to give business OF every
character and description an impetus
unknown to this country during the
last decade.
