Ger.nan-Amerlcans in germany.

A United States Consul stationed in the
southern part of Germany, says; In the
very midst of country whichis boarding up
riches month by month, the peasant class
are in the same hopeless, helpless and miser

centuries past. Their only hope of escape
from their thraldom is by way of America
They are helped to this by relatives, il at
all. The money for emigration in almost
every case is supplied from this country
For something like $50, I think the emigrant
is taken up in Stuttgart and landed as fan
west as Dakota.
With his mind bent on building up Ger
many, Bismarck discourages emigration by
every possible device. Last fall he made a
speech against IL, in which he inveighed
against what he termed the lack of public
spirit and of patriotism among q certain
class of Germans, and expressed his hearty
contempt for it. But it is when these Ger
man-Anericans return to. their mother coun
try ON visit that the Bismarck government
makes things very uncomfortable for them.
A proclamation was issued last fall, of which
had Immediately number Of copies print
cd, warning Germans who had left Germany
20 escape military duty and who returned
citizens Of another country, that they must
not stay too long and must not boast about
their improved condition under penalty of
fine, imprisonment or expulsion. There

alive colony. Three families go out at

And any variation quickly see,
And cry, "Don't tell it so, don't change and
alter,
We want it just the way it used to be-
So do we come to thee, o Nature-Mother,
And never tire OF listening to thy tales.
Tell us thy spring time story now,-no other
That hath wondrous charm, which never
fails.
Tell it with all the old-time strength and glory

Don't miss one bird or blossom In the story,
Don't leave one daffodil or daisy out.
Tell us each shade in all the trees soft greening
Don't skip one blade OF grass, one bee one

Each little thing has grown so full OF meaning,

And wonderful and strange things thou canst
