Until recently fifty per cent, of the
immigration to the United States was
Irish, about thirty per cent. German and
twenty per cent, from various European
nations. Now the Irish immigration has
almost ceased, asserts the Philadelphia
Iteeord, and that from Italy, Austria,
Hungary, Russia, Poland, Sweden and
Norway is rapidly increasing. Most oi
these immigrants formerly went West,
but now about two-thirds of them remain
in the Nesv England and Middle States.
The Ban Francisco Chronicle feels that
the report of the Arid Land Committee,

much to convince the outside world that
all American farming is not unscientific.
There is a popular European fallacy that

habitants to the square mile, against our

There is much iu spiritualism which has

mission several years ago pronounced all
the leading professional experts of
spiritualism frauds, but it did not deal

, It sounds , somewhat .
strange, oeufesset
the New Orleans Times-Democrat, to
have the Mormon question transferred t*
England—it is one we have always be
*
lieveU thoroughly American. It ft
true that a majority of the Mormon im
migrants came from England but they
haro carried on their operations so quietly
and secretly there that the world heard
little about them. It seems, however,
that they have at last attracted the at
teution of tho people of other denomina¬
tions, and are being rougljly handled in
consequence. The Mormons have a good
organization in England, have their
churches and congregations there md do
a great deal of missionary work. It is
complained that they teach polygamy
and defiance of the laws of both the
United States aud England. They seem
to have gained in strength and numbers
lately, for in this way only can the pres¬
ent movement against them be explained.
The agitators who are leading the at¬
tack on them have asked the House of
Commons to interfere and compel “the
Saints” to abandon the teaching of poly
gamous Mormonism in England. Should
thev carry their demand, it will materi
ally help this country in dealing with
thc Mormon question, as the chief sup
port of the church comes from tbe

That it doe3 not pay to put the tramp
to work is shown, avers the Washington
Star, by the experiment in Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania. A year ago the
court ordered that the tramps be put to
piking the county roads. Recently the
County Commissioners went before the
court and asked that the order be re¬
voked and their request was granted.
The allowance for boarding was thirty
cents per day for each tramp employed
and nine cents for each one idle, and it
is estimated this alone was costing the
county almost $1000 per month.
A Union Pacific engineer explains why
snowstorms are so bad for railroads on
the plains. “We do not mind drifts k
cuts,” he says, “for a strong snow-plow
can clear them; but our trouble 4s ou the
open plain, wdicre tho snow does not
cover the track to the depth of twe
inches. Against such a blockade the
snow-plow r is almost powerless, The
drifting snow T becomes mixed with sand,
melts a little in tho middle of the day
and freezes at night. This forms a regu¬
lar floor over the track, almost as hard
as iron. A snow-plow will charge it
it, and the plow' and engine will run on
the sand-packed snow, leaving the track
and becoming helpless. When this mix¬
ture of sand aud snow covers a large
area of track, is hard, nothing i s to,
be done but wait for a Oaw, as the track
can only be cleared by chopping the crust
away with an ax.”
Says the New England Magazine: One
hundred years ago girls were not allowed
to attend any of the public schools of the
country. When the first high school foi
girls was opened in Boston in 1825, there
was such an outcry against the innovation,
and so many girls applied for admission,
that after a year or so the scheme was
abandoned, and was not again attempted
until 1S53. In 1774 the first academy
for women was opened by Moravians in
Pennsylvania; in 1789 the first seminary
for women in New England was iuau
gurated iu New' Bedford, Mass.; and
Mary Lyon, iu 1836, founded a college
for women, iu that State, on the broadest
basis ever before attempted. Oberlin
College was opened on the co-educationa
plan in 1833, and Antioch College in
1852. But these w'ere innovations which
met with much discussionhnd opposition,
even among women themselves, To
day, however, this prejudice against the
scientific education of women has nearly
disappeared. Even the older and more
conservative institutions, like Harvard
and Columbia, are, if uot.opening their
front doors to women, at least making a

Funeral Services and Burial of
General Johnston.
The funeral services over the remains
of the late General Joseph R. Johns'on
ing. took place in Washington Tuesday morn¬
By special request of the deceased
the ceremonies were devoid of ostenta
tii n or unnecessary formali.y. There
was fl no display of uniforms or battle
gs or military trappings, and as the
family of the deceased, carrying out the
spirit of his injunction, had declined the
request of a number of Confederate vet¬
there erans' associations nothing to participate distinguish formally,
was to the
the funeral from attendance a private interment, of distinguished beyond
large
persons. %
There were r.o services at the residence
of the deceased, but just before 11
o'clock the remains were taken quietly
to St. John’s Episcopal church.
Tha funeral party, among whom were
many distinguished people, arrived at the
church at 11 o’clock. It was met by the
honorary pall bearers, who were Senators
Morgan and Daniel, Rev. .J. M. L. Curry;
General Parke, United States Army;
General Charles W. Field, General Harry
Heth, Rear Admiral Rogers, Rear Admi¬
ral Temple, General H. G. Wright, Gen¬
Anderson, eral Benjamin W. Brice; Colonel Archer
of Richmond; Colonel Edwin
G. Harris, Hon. J. C. Bancroft Davis
and James Watmaugh.
BORNE BT ms OWN SOLDIERS.
The active body bearers consisted of
members of the Ex-Confederate. Associa¬
tion of Washington, all men who fought
under General Johnston during the war.
Drawn up in double line along the side¬
walk, were about 100 men of Robert E.
Lee Camp Confederate Veterans, without
uniform, and they stood with their gray
heads bared to the inclement air, as the
body was borne between their ranks.
The services were conducted by Rev. Dr.
Douglass, rector of the church, and were
confined to the simple Episcopalian burial
service for the dead. The remains were
then removed to the Baltimore and
Potomac station followed by many car¬
riages, and left on the 12:10 o’clock train
for Baltimore.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review ol
Trade.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of
trade sa\s: There are some indications
of a slackening trade. At the we-t the
cold and unfavorable weather and the
bad condition of the country roads affect
distribution and collections, and the ap¬
parent change may be only temporary.
At the south the low price of cotton is
felt, though a little improvement has
occurred in the past two weeks. At the
eastern cities, and to some extent through¬
out the country, uncertainty as to the
monetary future checks operations. But
there is found in almost all quarters a
feeling of confidence and hopefullness as
to the future.
PROSPECTS BRIGHTENING.
is Though the present effect of short crops
felt in the Northwest, the prospect for
the coming season is exceptionally bright,
and while in some of the chief manufact¬
ures operations are checked by uncer¬
tainty regarding prices,, it may be ex¬
pected that the relations between ma
terials and finished products will soon
be adjusted to the new conditions.
Continued heavy receipts and small ex¬
perts on the Atlantic side have helped
the decline of 2£ cents in wheat, with
sales at New Y’ork of 33,000,000 bushels,
and oats have yielded a fraction, corn
has risen 2-£ cents, and pork, hogs and
lard are all a little higher, in spite of
enormous shade packing. Coffee and oil are a
lower, but cotton has risen a frac¬
tion, although receipts at the ports for
the wtek greatly exceed last year’s, with
no increase in exports. The general aver¬
age of all prices is still advancing,having
risen half of 1 per cent for the past week.
At cities west of the Mississippi trade is
fair Ur the season. At New Orleans
trade is barely fair; at Memphis lethargic
with slow collections, and at Little Rock
money is tight, but Savannah has a jubilee
over the receipt of 1,000,000 bales of cot¬
ton in a year and reports bright prospects.
The money markets are easier at most
of the interior cities. The treasury has
put out $2,500,000 nfore money than it
has taken in during ’the week, besides
issuing $1,000,000 more silver notes.
Failures for the week number 230; for
the corres-ponding week of last year, 215.
THE PRESIDENT’S ANSWER
To a Request of the Afro-Amer¬

The national committee ot th# Afro

NICHOLS TO BLAINE.
Louisiana’s Governor Writes to
the Secretary.
A Washington dispatch says: Secre¬
tary Blaine received a letter from Gover¬
nor Nichols, of LdRisiana, Tuesday morn¬
ing in regard to the recent killing of the
eleven Italians in the jail at New Orleans.
The*letter closes as follows: “On the 10th
I citemeiit telegraphed you that there was no ex
in the city at that time, and that
I saw no reason to anticipate further
trouble. I also seated that the action
that was taken was directed against
particular individuals, and that race or
nationality did disturbance not enter as a fac¬
tor in the A week has
passed since the date of my dis¬
patch, and the opinion then cn
lertained as to the termination of the
trouble proved to have been well found¬ stated
ed. The men killed as I have
were confined in prison under indictments
found in the criminal district court for
the parish of New Orleans; the sheriff
has made his return of tho facts to the
court; the judge thereof has charged the
grand jury, now in session, in regard to
the matter, and the whole subject is, I
as-mne, now under investigation by that
body, and I am satisfied that most of tho
persons killed were American citizens,
but it is probable that two or throe were
Italian subjects.” Mr. Blaiue lias sent a
copy of the letter to Baron Fava, the
Italian minister.
FOUND AT LAST.
The Missing 1 Katie Vannuchi
Once More at Home.
A New York dispatch says: Ihe now
noted journey of a detective and a World
lvpoi ter in search of the mis-ing Katie
Vannuchi, came to an end beyond the
"i inrv- only to prove apparent¬
ly unsuccessful, Y.,Tuesday. 'The girl was found living in
Brooklyn,N. She was
with a v\ oman who says the girl came to her
aud asked to be allowed to work, as she
was homeless. She adds that she took
the child in out of compassion. The girl
became ill there, and she tried to treat
her kindly. The father says he will not
prosecute the woman for not turning over
his child to the police, as he believes her
motive was honest. Katie was taken to
her home, but is unable yet to give a
lucid account of her wandetings, or of
her reasons for le'aving home, as her mind
appears to be unbalanced.
They Didn’t Read It.
A dispatch of Monday from Winsted,
Conn., says: It has been customary for
the government’s fast day proclamation to
be read in all the churches the Sunday
preceding the fast, day. In Winsted, on
Sunday, none of the ministers read the
document. The pastors state they had
not been furnished with the official proc¬
lamation by the town clerk. Town Clerk
YVeutwortli explains the matter by the
statement that he does not recognize
Bulkeley as governor, and hence pigeon¬
holed, the official proclamation.

largesse.
In chivalrous days of yore,
When knights held a tournament gay.
And castle and terraced court
Gleamed with banners in brilliant array,
T la(1y £ pave to her chosen knight
in his helmet bright,
A scarf or a glove, a bracelet or veil,
Or a gemmed clasp to fasten his coat-of
mail,—
With his “ladye’slargesse” he entered tha
fray,
A-t:lting his Ianco as the rodo on his way.
, .
Fled are the days of jousting,
With squire and yeoman brave,
And, thought no knight in glittering mail,
A favor still I crave—
[ ask not scarf or veil, bracelet, clasp or
glove,—
jhe only largesse I ask is—my lady’s love,
—Mary Fisher Boston, in Boston Traveller’
