NEW YEARS DAY, IN WASHINGTON Cry
happy day was yesterday, apparently, Tor nearly
the entire population resident and temporary OF the
City of Washington, Georgetown, and the vicinage.
The morning opened upon sheet Of snow on the
ground, with the cold down to 50 above zero, as we
saw it at between six and seven o'clock; but, as
seen in different positions by others, down to 40,
and perhaps in some positions down to Zero A
bright and unclouded sky during the whole day was
favorable to the round of visits of civilty and kind
ness. The great centre of attraction was Of course
the Presidents Mansion, in which the President re-
ceived and returned, with his characteristic and
frank cordially, the salutations of thousands Of
visiters of both and of all classes of society
including the Heads of Departments, the Repre-
sentatives of Foreign Powers, Judges of the Su-
preme Court, Senators and Representatives, and
nearly all the Military, Naval, and Civil officers of
Government present in the city. The music of the
Marine Band, in full costume assisted the harmony
of the scene, and through the judicious arrange
ment of the Marshal of the District, the Captain OF
the Auxiliary Guard, and other officers, notwith-
standing the multitude which poured into the build
ing without intermission for several hours, the
greatest good order generally prevailed. The Heads
of Departments, the Mayor of the City, and other
families also received the compliments Of the season
from numerous visiters-NattonaLI ntetLigeRcer.

1fteen years

These figures (says the Journal are interesting
and instructive. They show that during the past
year 81 more vessels arrived at New York from
foreign ports than in any previous year; and that
the number of arrivals in the last three years are
greater by several hundeed than the average of the
previous three years. The number of passengers
arrived during the past year is unprecedented, ex-
ceeding by 29,S90 the extraordinary number in
1s48 nearly double the immigration of 1917, and
nearly treble that of any previous year. Judging
from the number arrived at New York, (221 1899
we should infer that the number arriving in the
whole United States by sea, including California,
must be $4,000 to 100000; in addition to which,
many thousands have entered our territory from
