During the year 1859, the number of
emigrants who left Liverpool was 17S,73l,
larger total than has been witnessed
since 1862 OF the whole number, 1885,

portion of $500 English, 1881 Scotch,
29,O56 Irish, and 44,775 foreigners The
comparative insignifcance Of the Irish

A RICH INHERITANCE
A Good Fortune of SaIeswoman-
Heiress TO Half n Million.
From the Cincinnati Times,

Wonderful and romantic incidents con-
nected with the inheritance of large for
tunes are no rarity if we place confidence
in what the journals publish concerning
them. Frequently the subject of the great
inheritance Is III the most humble cilcum-
stances, probably q hod carrier, a scaven-
ger, or one OF the Numerous family of
Smith S, if not one of the distant branches
Of the Jones family. We had case in
point of recent occurrence of even police
man turning up heir to considerable for
tune, but after crossing the big "herling
pond" in search Of it, came back minus the
soyereigns he anticipated securing. In
fact we begin to think the unexpected in
hertance of these vast fortunes mere
chimera, so rarely are they authenticated
by the realization of the golden vision.
We now learn that young and hand

in this city, whose term of mourning has
expired, and whose lady-like manners have
endeared her TO a host Of friends, was no.
titled the other Gay, while acting in the
capacity of sales lady IN one of the fash

halt million pounds sterling to be diyid-

A celebrated law firm of England has writ
ten to her to this effect, stating that as
soon as she can legally send over her claim
she will be Immediately placed in posses
sion of her share of the estate, which will
amount to about 5000, 600.
OF course such good news could not long
remain unknown, and as the lady is in the
possession of youth, beauty and refinement,
the suitors for her hand would have won
dertully increased since the fact of the rich
Inheritance had leaked out. Her suitors,
among whom are several legal gentlemen,
would be but too happy to persuade her
that she needs legal protector, and that
they can fill the position most admirably.
Rumor has it that one OF the most devoted
students 1T Blackstone, whose devotion to
the fair lady was anterior to the sudden
and unlocked tor inheritance. will be most
likely to carry off the capital prize. We
sincerely hope there may be nothing
mythical in the assertion OF the legal gen-
tleman of the old Albion, aud that the lady
in question may soon receive substantial
evidence of her good fortune.

Sad tunes Of sorrow seem TO sigh,

Thy short life soon will dose,
For thou must die ~
Oh, sadly fall Oh loving hearts

Soon, soon will fold In gloom;

TWENTY YEARS OF WOMAN's RIGHTS Acre
rATIoN The twentieth anniversary Of the
day when woman suffrage began to be a0itated
has been duly observed in Apollo Hall. The
historical sketch of the movement, which was
read by Mrs. Davis, who presided over the
meeting, must have satisfied the most extrava-
giant advocates of womans rights that, however
much may remain to be accomplished graft
flying progress has been made during the past
twenty years. A growing disposition is mani
tested by the public to open to women multi
piled avenues to employment, to admit them to
the pursuit Of the learned professions and
to concede their claims to being equally well
paid as men for work equally well DONE Now
that this is unquestionably the case, and
women are even elected to Office and n0mi-
mated, like Mrs. Stanton, for Congress, we
may venture to protest against Mrs. Stanton's
violent denunciations of marriage as system
of slavery, and against Miss Anthony's terrible
threats Of making final resort to the sword
Even if the white-coated philosopher who edits
the Tribune persists In opposing woman SUI.
frage that la not a sufficient reason for trying
to scare everybody by such denunciations
aud threats.

No Militnry Coercion.

All the talk and excitement about the arri-
val in this city Of United States troops for the
purpose of exercising an influence upon the
election turns out to be mere political sensa-
tional canards got up for party buncombe.
Upon inquiry ii is found from the statement Of
the military authorities in this district that not
o single soldier has been added to the garr-
sons at Fort Columbus, Fort Hamilton, Fort
Wadsworth or Fort Wood, the four military
posts around the city, and, moreover, that in
all these garrisons there is not more than the
usual quota of about six hundred men at the
present time. The Adjutant General says
that there is no intention on the part of the
additional troops here at election time, and
that if the aid of the soldiers were required
for the purpose Of enforcing the Election law
of Congress not more than about four hun
dred men could be used for that purpose. All
this alarm, therefore, about the people being
overrdden by horse, foot and artillery on
election day by an administration coup d etat,
as far as present facts exist, is mere bosh !.
Voters can cast their ballots as peaceably as
ever. Repeating and other fraudulent voting
will, Of course, be prevented wherever the
| legal authorities can detect the violaters Of
| the law. It is the interest Of the dominaui
party to give us an orderly election, and the
leaders will, no doubt, take care, to the best Of
their capacity, that the presence Of . soldier
at the polls will be entirely unnecessary now

Of New York. The secret Of this Indifference
probably is that there is really no republican
party In the city, that it has dwindled into

Cts bread Of life. While the politicians of the

THG INDEPEEDENT IoE MOVEMENT. The
movement for the relief of the public
from the extortion Of the ice monopolists next
summer has fairly commenced by the stablish-
ment Of a company to be called ''The Peoples
Ice Company" with capital of half millieu.
This is taking time and the frost BY the fore
lock. Whatever is done in the way of fore
stalling the cunning monopoly which was such
severe oppression to the people during the
past summer should be done at once. The
days Of the ice harvest are not far distant.
The projectors of any scheme to gather in a
crop sufficient to keep down the price Of ice
and render us comparatively independent of
the organized monopoly must, therefore, com
plete their arrangements without delay. We
trust however, that this new enterprise will
not turn out like so many other organizations
of q similar kind which are ostensibly gotten
up for the benefit Of the people and very soon
either lapse into the monopolies they were
established to contend with or become more
extortionate monopoles themselves. We
have had some experience Of this kind 10 indie
pendent gas companies, and so forth.
