The PRESIDENTS NEW YEAR Re-
cEpT1oN. The President, at II o'clock,
received all the foreign Ministers in
Washington, as we'll as the attaches
of their respective legations. They
were in full court dress, and some Of
them were accompanied by ladies of
their household in elegant attire.
There were also present the Cabinet
Ministers, Chief Justice and Asso-
ciate Judges; also large number of
members of Congress, accompanied
by ladies. In addition to the above
named visitors, were the chiefs of
the severnl bureaus and other pro-
minent officials in the civil service.
The scene was very animated, every
body seemed happy, and the con-
gratulations OF the season were un-
reservedly interchanged between the
President and his guests. The Pre-
sident's daughters occupied a posi-.
tion in the reception room, and also
received their friends. Marshal Good
ing and Deputy Marshal Philips per-
formed the ceremonies of formal
introductions. At 11.3O o'clock, Of
ficers of the Navy and tho Marine
Corps, followed by those of the Army,
entered and paid their respects to
the President. They were all III full
dress uniform. The President, ac-
cording to previous arrangement, re-
-ceived the Associated Soldiers of the
war of 1872, and members of the Old
est Inhabitants Association, of the
District of Columbia. The doors
were thrown open to the public gene
rally ut IL o'clock m. After the sue
cessive introduotions and congratula-
tions, they filed past the President
into the East Room, where many of
the guests had gathered. The music
of the Marine Band, meantime,
added to the animation of the scene.
The reception continued until 2
o'clock p. m.

The advent of the new year was
celebrated with the usual round of
visiting by the people of New York.
The doors of nearly all the mansions
were thrown Hospitality open, and n
string of visitors were going from
house to house all through the day.
The snow and rain made locomotion
disagreeable and difficult, but the
visiting continued. The street cars
were greatly obstructed, and the East
River ferries were in some instances
detained. Skating was entirely out
of the question. Mayor Hoffman
had reception at the City Hall, and
so did the Sheriff elect. At the
various charitable institutions the
poor inmates had the usual collations
spread, and numerous theatrical and
social entertainments wound up the
day.

A "JAP" INsUnTED BY NEGRO

"Yah! hal dey amt nothin' but mig

lently exasperated when called "nig-

Those touoh-snd-go farmers who
think that, bacause Western, land is
cheap, it is cheaper for them 10, force
a piece of land through for. several
years, putting but little care upon. it,i
and getting out it all that its virgin
fertility will yield-and then abandon
it for another-Father than to exer-
else proper and careful husbandry
upon the first, make great mistake.
These people not only impoverish
the land they leave behind them,
making it worse than when they
cleared it of woods; but they gain
nothing by removal. The great ele-
ment of expense which, more than
any other, has to be considered in
farming. manufacturing and indus
tries of all sorts, is transportation of
necessities and products from and to
market. Going further West is sim
ply paying more for everythingwant-
ed, except land, and getting less for
everything produced. It is cheaper
and better in every way to elaborate
and increase the productive capacity
of farm No. l.

ter States have now established i'm
migration bureaus. Louisiana pays
her commissioner very liberal
salary and provides for two clerks
and Ave agents. But. New Orleans
has now steam communicationw with
Europe, and immigrants for Missouri
and the FAR West travel that route.
Texas is increasing very fast by large
immigration from Germany, four ves-
sells with nearly thousand passen-
gers having. arrived at Galveston this
season. This is owing to her German
colonies established before the war.
Tennessee provides only for agents in
the Northern parts of the United
States, and expects to gain her share
Of immigration in that manner. But
her people are very much ;alive to the
subjecta and are everywhere forming
associations to facilitate immigration
by private contributions. By reduc-
ing the salaries of our other agents,
we might, perhaps, also have an
agency in New York; but I nm not
convinced of any great advantage
from it. The better class of immi-
grants to that great port proceed i'm
mediatelJ TO their points of destina-
tion, leaving those without means
and without settled purpose, and
very often disinclined to agricultural
pursuits, behind them. Such we
could not give employment to. We
are as yet too contracted in varieties
OF pursuits, until our industrial occu-
pations and general prosperity shall
be once, more better developed.
There are now o number Of private
agencies ready to fill all orders of

tracts. Ny efforts have been directed
to an influence iu Europe which
should give us class of immigrants
that will not only bring US their per-
sonal powers of production, but the
means also to make them available at
once; and with them and after them
will come enough of laborers to sup
ply all our demands without overbur-
dening US with numbers of useless

Puck's promise to "put a girdle

nutes" has nearly been accomplished.
The message from the Duke of We'll
lington and the Directors OF the
Royal Polytechnic Institution to the
President of the United States, was
transmitted from London to Wash
ington in nine minutes and thirty
seconds. The return message OF the
same length, however, occupied
twenty-nine minutes, or three times
as long, 80 that there are unforeseen
obstacles to the rapid inter-communi-
cation between the two countries.
The length OF the cable between Va
lentia, in ireland, to Hearts Content,
in Newfoundland, is 1854 miles, and
in the early experiments fifteen words
per minute WAS reported to be the
maximum rate. The Polytechnic
message, consisting, of sixty words,
should then take four minutes, but il
WAS sent from London to Hearts
Content in four minutes and thirty
seconds. Making due allowance,
then, for the delay in England and
