we wish to draw a picture of their life and condition in a
city, where, by concentration, the expressions of their pro-
clivities are more eloquent. If Paris may be called truth-
fully the centre and the mirror of life of the French nation,
Baltimore may be termed with at least an equal amount of
truth, the focus and reflection of the life of the Germans of
Maryland. This city has from the total foreign population
of the State, viz: 77.529, more than half within its own com-

32.607 reside in the City of Baltimore.

When giving the above figures, it is not proposed to
analyze the causes why some parts of Germany are more
strongly represented than others, or why the different branches
of the German Confederation appear in other proportions here
than in other States of the Union, leaving these inferences to
the conjecture of the reader. However, these numerical re-
