CAPTAIN Hall will probably win

in the spring he will have six

Captain, right on the North Pole,
will be at a point where the north
will be directly over his head, and
the Polaris too, the guiding star
from which his good ship is nam
ed, and at every point which he
may look around him, he will look
southwark, for the east and the
west will be abolished. If there

EMIGRATIoN.--Mr. Edward
Young, Chief of the Bureau of
Statistics at Washington, has
made a careful report in regard to
emigrants and immigration. He
says more than one half of those
who arrived in the United States
thus far came from the United
Kingdom, or, the British Posses
sions in North America. The
German element comes next, and
embraces nearly two-thirds of the
remainder. The influx of Scandi-
navians, which began only few
years ago, is increasing. Asiatic
immigration has never reached a
higher figure in a single year than
10, 009, being only about four per
cent of our population. Deduct
ing women and children, about 46
per cent of the whole immigration
has been trained in some skilled
pursuits. Mr.. Young estimates
the average capital value of each
immigrant at $500. At this rate,
the immigrants, who reached this
country last year added $685., O00,-
GOO to the national wealth, and
during the last half century, i'm
migration has contributed &c.
1880, 800. 1t appears that the
whole number of aliens added to
our population since the forma-
ton of the Government is about
100000. During 1870, the
number of immigrants was 376,.
zoe, and in 1862, 396,222. The
decrease is accounted for by the
Franco Prussian war. The num-
Der of immigrants arrived at the
pori since January 1, is 1924
10000, less than TO same date last
year.

Lake Travel In Oiden Thine,

A dozen OF twenty years ago, before

used to be lively competition among
the boats on Lake Erie. The Detroit

The argument and the illustration were
conclusive, and the Columbus got the

1t is related of Brundage that. up-

came IN from Rochester on Saturday
evening, exercising his eloquence to in

MIR. Stewards Trip Around the World.
From the N Y Herald,

Mr.. SeWard'S Irlp Around the world
From the n. Y. Herald.
William Fl. Seward, who may indeed,
and not inaptly, be regarded as the
American traveller, has arrived safe
and sound at Calcutta. Having paid 8
fying visit to China, after being thaw-
ed out of ley Alaska, he looked into
Japan, and now turns up in India en-
route for Europe. No doubt the sage
will while away an hour or SO in the
locality pointed out to travellers as the
Garden of Eden, pass through the
Suez Canal, do the Nile, and rest for
while under the shadow of the Pyra-
mids Touching at Athem, the sage
will possibly hnger amid the ruins of
classic Greece and drink in inspiration
while wandering III meditation deep
through the places where the old Greek
poets and orators sung their songs and
addressed the cultivated Athenians.
Homeward bound the venerable states
man will proceed up the Mediterranean,
and may rest while to witness Etna
and VG5lvius, in order to compare
notes and see how the European vol
canoes compare with those of America
for Mr.. Seward, in his grand tour
through Mexico, visited Pococapeti and
Colima. The ruins Of Pohdpeii and
Herculenepm toe, no doubt, will re-
ceive BIS attention Rome, the city of
the Caesars and the Popes, but now the
capital of united Italy, will certainly
be visited by the great traveller, and it
is scarcely possible that tbs laid Of
Tell, the little mountain locked repub-
lie OF Switzerland, will be neglected.
Crossing into France, Mr.. Seward will
probably run over the battle fields Oh
that country, from Saarbruck, where
the first meeting Of the derfnan and
French forces took place, to Sedan,
where the last army of the empire in
the field surrendered to the German
conquror. The battle felds-Orleans
