IRISH Emigration It's Result.
From the Sioux city lines, Aug. IL,

We were on Saturday last favored
with q visit from that popular young
Irish enthusiast, John Pope Hodnett,
United States Assessor of Dakota
Territory. Mr. H. is on his return
from the East, whore he has laid the
ground work for one Of the grandest
Irish emigration schemes ever either
projected or attempted to 30 realized
in America. The prominence which
Alr. IL. q few years since gained as
one Of the leaders and organizers OF
the Fenian Brotherhood, and his
memorable and successful campaign
il tho States Of Michigan. Illinois
and Wisconsin, during The last Presi
Dental election, in favor of the Re.
publican candidate, has given his
name a prestige which will be in.
valuable in realizing, and carrying
to glorious success, the plans that
are now maturing under his guidance.
The Western irish Emigration Socie
ty Will DO composed, for the present,
OF every leading and public spirited
lrishman in the nation, who are
DESTROYS Of assisting their country
people to leave the ill-paid labor
fields and workshops in the large and
densely populated districts Of the
East, and locate themselves on the
million Of farms in the new North
west, the soil Of which only requires
to be tickled with 4 hoe to make it
smile with superintendent harvests.
1t is intended to form q Joint stock
bank, each shareholder to take any
amount Of stock he may desire, the
principal TO be applied in assisting
emIgrants TO reach this country,
after which they are to be supplied
with land, agricultural implements,
and such other articles rs are indis-
pensablo-thQ bank securing itself
from loss by mortgage ON the land,
or IN such other manner as the
Directors may see fit. We have un~
disputed proofs that q million Of dol
lars is ready TO be invested in the
project, as soon as the organization
Is completed. Asa proofof the value
OF the securities which the project of.
fers to capitalists, we know of one
man Bernard Mohan), who, with
only q capital OF sos, three years
since entered 100 acres Of land il
Dakota, two miles west Of the Big
Sioux bridge, under the homestead
law, which to-day, with improve,
ment and live stock, would realize
him SIS, 600 under the auctioneer's
hammer The class Of emigrants
leaving Ireland for our shores is
someW hat different from that Of
former times. IL is now composed
almost exclusively of the middling
and better class, gentlemen Of means
authorization, The piring collegans,
who, reading OF the h0nors and an
told wealth that awaits genius and
energy in tho western world, aspire
to become part and parcel Of The
greatest country that has ever ex-
listed in everything that tends to
develop the higher and noblor quali-
ties and characteristics Of man. We
welcome this new and recuperativo
element TO this section. Let young
Ireland build up an Irish American
empire in Dakota, whore the poet
geuius Of Moore, the oratory Of
6rattan, and the ever dazzling
patriotism " Emmett can be per-
potCated and initiated.

me Australian slave Trade.

Some very alarming information re-
specting the Australian slave trade is
given by a correspondent of the New
York Herald. He states that the traf-
fc is steadily on the increase, and that
there are no less than three thousand
victims Of oppression contained within
the limits Of the island. The unhappy
beings are forcibly kidnapped from their
homes, adorned with handouts, and
placed on board ship for transportation.
The horrors of The middle passage are
said to be revived on their voyage, and
ten, fifteen and sometimes twenty per
cent. of the human cargo perish, partly
from inconsistencies and despair, partly
from i'll usage, and partly from starya-
ton. The only object of the SLAYER is
to land human beings, with a few excep-
t~ionally living specimens. He then por-
his cargo out into lots, and the
take their chances of getting
moneys worth out Of these pur-
chases. The price paid is not generally
heavy-only thirty-fve dollars per head;
but it shows a constant tendency to rise,
and taking into account the brevity of
the voyage, the business must pay re-
.arkably well. A cargo of a hundred
is frequently taken by a small brig, and
not more than the three months labor of
4 dozen seamen produces $500 in gold.
The seamen only get about eight dollars
per month, so the profits must be very
ligh-far more than could be realized in
less questionable branch of trade.
The matter needs looking after by the
home government.

Prince AIbert's sIausoIeum.

The Mausoleum erected by Queen
Victoria, within sight of Windsor Cas-
tie, for the remains of her husband. has
cost about $1,000, 600. The whole
amount has been expended by the Queen
out of her private fortune. The exte-
rior of the Mausoleum is of stone the

kinds. The building consists of a cen
tral octagon surrounded by three chapels
or recesses. The dome Of the 0ctagon,
including a cross which surmounts it. is
eighty-three feet, the hight inside being
seventy feet. The interior decorations
are exceedingly elaborate in eolors and
designs, with gliding, painting and sculp-
tUre in %profusiOn. a massive ~sarcOpha-
gus Of highly polished Aberdeen gran

Upon the lid Of the sarcophagus is o re-
eumbent figure Of the Prince Consort in

Of blue, ~spangled with golden stars. The
ribs of the dome are supported with

a Rev Kind of Co.ton.

The Charleston Ners says: A variety
Of cotton, called lace cotton, is being
introduced in some parts of Texas, and
is likely to be extensively raised. 1t is
said to be superior to any other variety
for poor soil or uplands, having Il strong,
healthy growth, and yielding heavily.
Its strength is equal to a strain of seven
and a half pounds to each thread, while
a similar thread of the best American
cotton viii lift only FIVE pounds. Those
who have examined it say that it re-
sembles Egyptian cotton, which is worth
IN England a quarter more than Ameri-
can Good results are attained from a
cultivation Of this variety of cotton. If
1t is successful, it may quite generally
supercede the poorer qualities, and large
ly increase the income of the Southern
planter.

The delicate radicles of fruit producing

The Voice.

The Vice President of the London
Authropological Soeiely, Sir Duncan
Gibbs, has recently written an essay on
the characteristics Of the voices Of the
different nations of the earth. The OBJ
servations of the essayist have led him
to assert the existence Of the following
facts The Chinese and japanese pos
sess voices oflow power, feeble compass,
whining in tone, and possessing a
metallic twang." The voice of Tartars,
Thibetians and Mongols partakes slight
" Of the same twang. In Iudia and
Burmah, the voice is not powerful, but
shrill, soft, and feminine, that of the in
habitants Of the hills being more robust,
possessing more of the metallic twangs
and less Of the whine than that Of the
Inhabitants of the plains. The larynx
Of the native negro IS intermediate in
size, between that of the Chinese and
Tartars. The negro wants vocal power
possessing the elements Of a roaring,
believing voice. The European nations,
1t Is asserted, possess strong, powerful,
sOnorOus, clear voices. Variations as to
character and tone may and do exist,
but as a rule all the voices are remark
able for powerful compass, range, clear
ness, and loudness Of sound. The Ger
mans, 1t Is believed, possess the most
powerful voices in Europe, but in
strength must Weld to the Tartars.
