Female Immigration.

The London Daily News speaks in Ian
guage of decided approval Of the public
service Miss Rye, an English-woman, is
doing in an emigration scheme for girls
which she has been conducting to Canada.
On the arrival of the last party in Can
ada there is said to have been quite Wig
orous competition for the privilege of en-
gaging servants. The girls themselves,
well chosen and looked after, are all such
as make desirable emigrants, and will pro-
badly prove quite worthy of the excellent
situations they command. The Canadian
papers express desire for more of them,
and say that the sooner Miss Rye returns
with another compliment tho better. The
News justly remarks that there is some
thing doubly desirable in this emigration
of young women, the natural tendency Of
emigration being to derange the balance
of the sexes on both sides; the young mei
go and the young women stay, and hence
in all colonies men perponderate, while
women predominate at home. 1t is need.
less to point out the social mischiefs which
this inequality produces-the over-crowd.
ing of all female employments in Europe
is one of the least of them A well-con
sidered scheme of female emigration ha
therefore, always been attended with gooC
results Riss Rye, it is said, tindsplenty
of candidates for emigration in England
and ample offers of employment await then
in America; her plan, however, as we un
derstand it, is for the emigration of youn
ger girls. Her last emigrants are describ
ed by Canadian paper as rosy girls il
their teens. At such an age they are
more likely to be useful in the colony, more
likely to fall into their life naturally anG
easily, than they would be if they were
few years older. They are just at the
age at which girls in England first 60 out
to service, Or are first finding their way
into situations. OF course cargo of such
girls involves considerable responsibility
and Miss Rye is doing a public service il
undertaking it. The emigration of small
or girls under such auspices is one of thu
smaller benefcent movements of the age
1t would be fortunate if it could be don,
with the same minute inquiry, the sam
careful supervision and the same success
upo ma larger scale. That would requir
fifty Miss Ryes instead of one.

it known that the snores of Delaware bay swarm

are taken to fatten hogs; the old ones are gath

they are dried, ground down, and packed up in
bags to be sold at the rate of about Eve pounds

TnE CHINESE THE "MoDEL DOMESTIC
The New York Journal Of Commerce
publishes letter from gentleman of very
high standing in California, describing the
Chinese, according to the Journal, exactly
as they are in every variety of the service
in that State. Whilst according them
credit in various departments, it would
seem that in that sphere for which there is
so great demand in all parts of this coun-
try, domestic service. they especially shine.
The statements give ground for hope that
the "model domestic" is at last coming to
the rescue of distressed housekecpers
without exception the families who have
made experiment of their service have
come to regard it as great and blessed
relief in the matter of housekeeping. lie
says he has had this service for many
months in his home. The new servants
are neat, cheerful, careful and cconom-
zeal they put on no airs; they stipulate for
no privileges; they entertain no company ;
they look sharp after all the "odds and
ends" They are satisfied with very
humble commissariat for themselves.
They make no complaint of large wash
ings, or much company, or sweeping days,
or Irregularities in the family, such as
many have heard for years. They take
hold of the task of each day, no matter
how heavy, with the same accomplishing
cheerfulness, and carry them patiently
through to their consummation, with a
quiet acquiescence which is most admira-
bic. They never answer back to your
instructions except with the simple hear
ty call right" which assures you that
they comprehend and will do what is told
them. Any new service, beyond their
experience, when once shown, they ac-
complish with an initiative dexterity that
makes it pleasure to teach them.

WEALTH AND TRADE OF THE SoUTu.-
The Charleston News predicts that for
1869 the cotton States "wll show more
true prosperity than any other section of
the world" 1t goes on to estimate the
crop of cotton for the present year, which
it fixes at 5000, 900 bales The average
value of all the crops will amount to S64
per head of the population. The News
also predicts that South Carolina will yield
products this year worth $50, 600, 900, or
an average of $74.62 per head in popu-
lation of go, 900. If the necessary means
to insure accuracy in this statement have
been employed, this affords a subject of
great congratulation to South Carolina,
which only few years ago was apparent
ly ruined. Another remarkable fact is
mentioned by the same journal: There
are now no less than 200 600 whites cul-
tivating cotton with their own hands. u
This probably refers more especially tc
cotton growing on the uplands. In the
old days of slavery the fact might have
told as an argument against that institu
ton, but now that the negroes are free
