itate to seek q new home among strangers

itate to seek new home among strangers over the sea.
 I think if any Saxon dslving and tug ging away tn our over heated cities, in our great grimy factories say, calls to mind the dear old Saxon home, so sweet with It's flowers and running brooks, and lovely pine forests, he must feel a lump rise in his throat and long to be back once svsin In his native land, for where can a fsirer land and pleasanter be foundl Emi- grants are returning to Europe in large numbers, and they can do as we'll here as In the United States. One dollar per day here will supply a lsbore,'s needs as far as double that cum abroad, and the steamships are crowded with returning emigrants. Last September, when half across the Atlantic, we fell in with and passed a large Rcd Star steamer carrying to Europs twelve hundred returning emil grants. This season sseersge tickets have dropped to eighteen dollars and crowds are coming back. During the last presi- dentisl election political jugglers used to prate about paupsr labor in Europe. I zee no pauper labor iu Germany. Wages are good here and living is cheap for the work Ing classes; they are contented and happy and polite, orderly class.
 Tho factories here are beautiful bufld- inge, massive and ornamental, and many are palstisl in appearance and have their grounds laid out with ponds, walks and ornamental trees,
 All these surroundings have 6 tendency to elevate and educate the working men.
 On Sunday the picture gsllt rles and mu- seums are crowded with the working clsss- es, who flock thither to lift themselves to higher atmosphere of life
 The lsooring cissses are quite as happy ss they are In the United States, snd are as well dressed and as wsIl educated: their children attend splendid public schools and nave every whit as good advantages Es children have in our own country. The system of public education in Germany is even supsrior to that of the United States A different state of things obtains In Italy and some other states Of Europe. But in Germany the wage esrnsr Is well oil in all respects. As for pauper labor, there is DO such thing here; the expression, however, Is good one to juRale with when our tsrif debaters sfa ct us with their weary ing tslk-a perfect "Fox ct prseteres ni- hil." There is hardly psuper here; they left long ago for other lands. and Ger many Is we'll rid of them. Examine the pockets and kits of the Germans emigrs- ting at the United States sBd you will iud they are fairly lined with the yell low metal, and they are men who can take care of themselves; If they do not succeed in the United States they do not go Into almshouses, but return to their Fstherland and begin work sgs,n st home.
 I began writing about "Leipsic," but find am disressing upon another subject.
 l will write soon again from Saxon Switzsrlsnd," one of the pret,iest little hooks in Europe. Very truly yours,
