' The total number of persons killed on rail ways in England during the year was 2S6, and the number of injured was 1239. Of these, W) persons killed and 1CW4 persons injured, were passengers, and the remainder, 15)0 killed and 145 Injured, were officers or servants ot the railway companies, or trespasser, or from acci dents at level crossings, or from miscellaneous causes. Of the passengers, 66 were killed and 1084 were injured from causes beyond their own control. The total number of passenger jour neys having been about 307 000,000, it fol lows that the proportion of passengers killed was in round numbers one to 3.410,000, and of passengers injured one to 281,000, and that the proportions of passengers killed and injured Irom causes beyond their own control were re spectively one in 4,051,000, and one in 28:5,000. 1 his was an increase on the average of the pre vious five years, in which the proportions were one to 13,000,000 killed, and one to 372,000 injured. Of the officers and servants of railway companies there have been killed one out of 1740, and injured one out of 1560; but accidents to servants do not appear, in many cases, to be reported by some of the railway companies; and their numbers would, if the whole truth could be ascertained, be considerably Increased. AITER THE WAR. The Future of the Germans In Pnrla. The commercial, Industrial, and artistic breach between France and Germany, as proclaimed by the French (says the Pall Mall Gazette), must, if maintained, have some very curious results. What will become of the Gorman waiters, Ger man bakers, German tailors, German makers of scientific Instruments, German musicians, and German Jews, formerly so numerous In Paris ? We have heard it suggested that Ger man waiters, who (as every one who has lived in a German hotel must be aware) are great adepts at bed-making and at housemaid's duty generally, would make good servants of all work, in which capacity numbers of them might find employment in England. In the matter of musicians, the balance is dead against the French. If, henceforth, no Frencl mu sicians visit Germany, the Germans will not suiter much by that. But if German musicians are to be excluded from France, the want of them will be felt greatly In the French orches tras. What, too, as to German composers? Myerbeer was a rank Prussian, and as great a diplomatist in his way as Bismarck himself. To object to Prussians and Pruseianism and tolerate Meyerbeer would be a grave piece of inconsistency. As to Offenbach, for merly a German in Germany, a Frenchman in France, it haB now been decided that the un happy man is to the Germans as a Frenchman, to the French even as a German. lie is, indeed, a Frenchman by naturalization, a German by birth. He belongs, then, to neither of the two countries, and might appropriately take up his residence In that part of Lorraine which for the present Is nondescript, but which is to be de clared French or German, according to the deci sion of the conference. After that he could emigrate to the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. SAFE DEPOSIT COMPANIES gECURITY FROM LOSS BY BURGLARY ROBBERY, FIRE, OR ACCIDENT.
