—Progress has been reported in the

—The increasing tide of immigration
to the U. S. is attracting the attention
of European Governments. Seeing that
Germany and other Continental States
are pouring westward a larger contin
gent than Great Britain, English econo
mists no longer account for the partial
ity shown to America by the subjects
of Rueen Victoria by putting it upon
the ground of community of language,
laws and blood. These things exercise
an influence, but they should determine
iLe course of immigration quite as
strong toward Knglish colonies as to
ward the United States. The fact is
that 73 per cent, of last year's emigra
tion from Great Britain was to this
country. It is therefore the fashion
now to ascribe the tendency of immi
gration to our shores to the condition
of the American labor market. Possibly
in the course of years, it may be dawn
upon the minds of our brethren across
the water that our fre« institutions and
our cheap lands have something to do
in attracting immigration. It comes
I favorable or uiiluvy tabic.

—No Justice oft lie Peace can marry
individuals under 21 years of age un
less a certificate of consent from puar
dians js first produced. Orignally the
penalty was imposed on him whether
he knew the ape of the parties or not
He was bound to ascertain it at his
peril; but a case of great hardship in
1871 caused an amendment to the law,
and he is not now liable for the penalty
unless he 'knowingly or willfully' disre
gards the law—that is, unless he knows
or has reason to believe that the parties

—The cost to England of the Af
ghan war, when it was commenced,
was estimated at sfi,ooo,ooo. But now
that the bills are pretty much rendered
they foot up the astonishing aggregate
of £100,000,000. Statesmen as a gen
era! thing appear to have little more
knowledge of the cost of warlike un
dertakings than milliners are supposed
to have of shipbuilding. There is no
more amazing feature of our own civil
war than the ridiculous estimates of
the cost of it which were made at the
outset by the most influential persons
in charge of affairs.
—lnnovations are regarded with
special suspicion and aversion by the
English people. The rejection of a
motion in the Commons to adopt the
decimal system of coinage, weights and
measures is an illustration. Probably
no one in England to-day doubts the
practical advantages both of the decimal
system itself, and of having a universal
system. But it is the necessary change
involved that is the difficulty, and by a
large majority the Commons voted to
go on with the old pounds, shillings
and pence and all the rest of it.
According to Gladstone's budget
announcement in the English House of
Commons lately, the receipts and ex
penses of the British government
amount to about four hundred millions
of dollars annually and it seems strange
to us thnt a nation having interest to
pay on a debt larger than that of the
United States and which las a large
pension list, a large army and a navy
almost equal to that of all other nations
of the Earth combined, can keep its
expenses down to a figure but little
more than a third larger than what
it costs to ruu the United States gov
ernment.

—ln view of the place-hunting dele
gations that have madedailv pilgrimage
to the White House, it must have been
a refreshing relief to President Garfield
to receive the colored delegation of fif
ty from Louisiana. They made neith
er demand for office nor race recogni
tion. They said nothing about the
rights of colored citizens. What they
did was to modestly present a hand
somely engrossed address, in which it
was set forth that the colored people in
Louisiana pay taxes on $25,080,000 of
property, by their labor raise seven
eighths of the sugar and rice crops, and
five-eighths of the cotton crop ; and
that they ask nothing but the entorce
inent of existing laws securing to them
the advantages of the public schools
and a free ami fair vote. To this sen
sible presentment the President replied
much as he did to the colored delegates
who visited him at Mentor, standing
by his well-known views in their inter
est, and urging upon them the import
ance of education, and of persona! own
ership of the soil on whi?h they live
and labor. But how strangely he
must have felt, in dismissing so unique
a delegation.

—lt will no doubt surprise the great

such a thing as the virtual sale of men
and wonvn exists in the land to-day.
It was Supposed that the abolition of
slavery and the reform of the poor-laws
had done awav forever with that species
i'f inhumanity. But it appears that
the supposition was wrong. A story
conies from West Virginia that is
equ lly scandalous and shocking. If
true, as there seems 110 reason to doubt,
public sentiment lies a plain duly in
the matter The story is simply this :
That in Hancock County, W. Va., with
in one hundred miles of Pittsburgh, it
is the custom in March of each year
to collect the county paupers in front of
the Court House and knock them 0(1 at
auction to the lowest bidder—that is, to
the man who will agree to keep th< in
during the year for the least money It
is said, a« if there was no depth to the
shanielessness of the thing, that the
competition is generally lively, and
often a father, brother or sister i f the
pauper will contend with the profession
al "sharps," as the bidders in general
are expressively called, for the possess
ion of his body and the State compen
sation for keeping life in it.

—According t*» recent report to the
Sanitary Committee of Massachusetts,
it appears that of i.iOl
during five months no legs than 154,
or nearly 6 ycr cent, contained trichi
na?. The animals came from different
and distant regions, but the majority
were from the Western States. The
same report affirms that rats are affect
ed with ti iehinosis at Boston to a much
larger extent than in Germany. Qf
fifty-one rats caught in a Boston
slaughter house thirty presented trichi
na'. On the other hand, twenty-eight
fowls fed in the establishment were
found to be healthy. Forty rats taken
in another Isrye slaughter housp all
contained trichina-, but of sixty found
in different stables only six were thus
affected.
In France little consideration has,
until lately, beeu given to the danger
of trichina; in imported pork. At
Lyons, however, inspection has been
commenced, and has quickly borne
fruit. An enormous consignment of
lard, amounting, it ib said, to 12U tons,
was lately received at Lyons from

amined immediately after arrival three
were found to bo ipfested with trichi
