The writer is describing company of DO
hemian Immigrants whom he encountered
at Madison, Wisconsin:
"Among these enigrants there were
none who could speak word of Eusllsh,
bnt there were among them two intelligent
girls who had been in Vienna and Prague.
and who spoke German tluently. They
seemed to be the managers aud conduct

best looking, acting as captain. Few per.
sons are aware of the extent OF Bohemian
emigration to this country. Most persons
suppose them 20 be "a sort of Germans
and confound them with that race and I
have been confidently assured that their
language is only a German patols,' while
in tact English and German seem almost
the same language when compared to it.
The Chechs with whom we c0nversed
complained that their life was very hard
one, worn down by exactions and iutOler-
able customs and could not but congrat

One thing moro we will add. We have
been out with many parties, public and
private, on the new Pacific Railway. but
this is the first one which had no intoxica-

were no baskets of wine. private bottles or

was the fact that there was not an oath ut
