Through all the centuries since Tacitus drew his vivid picture of the habits and manners of the Germans, their attachment, it might almost be called their passion, for home, has been a marked and meritorious feature of their character.

To Fatherland first, and then to whatever country fate or fortune may draw them, their devotion is proverbial.

This admirable trait seems altogether wanting in Mr.
Schurz.

When he left Germany he lived for three years in other countries of Europe,--first in Switzerland, then in France, then in England.

In 1852 he came to America, and resided first in Pennsylvania, then in Wisconsin, then in Michigan, then in Missouri, and then in New York.
