Asiatio immigration embraces about

Asiatic immigration embraces about
four per cent. of our total inn
migration, never having exceeded over
$4,000 in any year, and only about seven
per cent. of these are females. This, to-
gether with the fact of their paucity
leads Mr. Young to conclude that no harm
need be apprehended from the influx Of
the "Heathen Chinee," at the present
showing.
The money value of each immigrant
has generally been computed at one
thousand dollars. Mr.. Kapp, one of
the commissioners of immigration of the
state of New York, who has given the
subject much consideration, assumes the
whole to be eleven hundred and twenty
five dollars. These results are gained
by assuming each foreigner is worth in
money what it costs to raise an individual
until he or she becomes a producer. Mr..
Young, by different process of reckon
ing, strikes less sanguine figure. By a
careful computation of what each immi-
grant actually adds to the wealth of the
country by consumption and production,
he gives us the result of forty dollars
per annum, which capitalized at five per
cent gives eight hundred dollars as the
average value of each immigrant.
Careful investigation at Castle Garden,
New York, resulted in establishing sixty
eight dollars as the average sum brought
by immigrants. This sum is believed to
be no more than what will be required to
take him to his place of destination, and
maintain him until he becomes pro-
Queer, and is therefore omitted in the
computation. At the above rates suffi-
Gent have landed on our shores during
the past year, to increase our material
wealth to the extent of 1886, 100000.

HNIusic for the Million ~
TO THE BRASS BANDS OF THE STATE OF
VERMONT.

Whereas, the annual convention OF
Brass Bands has become almost universal,
and as this State is not behind any other
in the number and efficiency of bands or
in refined musical taste of her population,
I would like, with the assistance of a
sufficient number of bands, to appoint a
convention at Rutland about the Both of
August, for the purpose of giving mon
ster concert, thus afording the people an
opportunity of hearing such number of
performers as are only brought together
by musical conventions.
Ia the first place, please permit me to
make some propositions which, after the
conven ton takes form of an organization,
(which I hope it will,) will be done in
proper order by an authorized committee.
Two days should be devoted to this con.
vention, the first to the giving of two
grand concerts, bands consolidated the
second to each band playing separate in
contest for prizes.
I have at present five bands willing to
cooperate with me. I will publish the
list as soon as l hear from others who NAV
wish to join us. will furnish the music
selected at cost price, or inform bands
where to obtain it.
presume our railroad companies will
faver the affair, as in all other places.
This can be made the most interesting
pleasure day in the State. 1t would be
day of recreation for bands, stimulate
them to the study and practice of higher
class of music than is generally aspired to
by amateur bands, and I am impressed it
might be made peeuniary success as
well as pleasure to all interested.
L shall be happy to give bands my views
further on the matter if they will CORES,
pond. Now don't stand back for results,
but join without delay, and help make
this affair a success. The sooner the pre-
gramme is in rehearsal, the better.
Our first convention will have to be de-
voted to the performance of grand open
air concert. [ would suggest the Ru5-
land Fair Grounds as the place. Prizes
cannot be distributed the first year, as we
shall not be able to classify the bands un-
til the first convention, at which time the
leaders and officers of each band will have
an opportunity of ventilating their ideas
for the advancement of the affair, appoint
committee for next year, etc.
Bands feeling interested in this ma tier
will please make known as early as pos
'ible.
Yours respectfully,
FRANK WILSON.

Appeal OF the Drunkard,s Child.
BY EFFIE JOHNSON.

There's shadow on my brow
Darker than the sun can dye,
Ever on my heart bear,
Shame and sorrow, want and care,
Till my brain is almost wild,
For am drunkard's child.
Father I-Oh, that thy holy name
Dyes my cheeks with crimson hue,
Ills not mine, the sin and blame,
Yet I bear the grief and shame,
Not by my own sin defiled
Only this-a drunkard's child.
And they turn the scorpful eye
On my hopeless misery,
Purse-proud robbers, now they hold
All my fathers wasted gold,
By the price Of blood defiled
Are they, I'm the drunkard's child.
God in heaven hear my prayer,
Dost thou see the wrongs I bear?
Let the licensed demons die,
Give to right the victory.
That no more by rum beguiled,
Hope shall cheer the drunkard's child.

Currant Worms.

Yours respectfully,

WEST RUPERT, May 7, 1871.
Much has been written, talked and ex
perimented to destroy the currant worm
Some may be good but much is worthless
One thing is certain, the white hellibore i.
sure thing, if properly applied, to xii
the insect and preserve the bushes, and
no injury to the fruit. whatever i.
worth doing is worth doing we'll" If we
wish to preserve our currant bushes,
and secure a good crop, we must take
care of them. No fruit is easier raised

First, They should be we'll MANFRED.
and little put around them every au-
tumn. Weeds and grass should be cleaned
away as much as in a cornfeld. For profit
cultivate in punches; cut out dead stalks.
suckers, and crooked, stray branches, only
save new stalks enough to renew the old
fou wish to cut away each spring-these
new branches don't bear fruit till the
third year. A person will soon learn
when to cut out the old stalks by observa-
ton. Rub off the leaves and buds eight
or ten inches from the ground, keep clean
about the roots and trim the bunch into
symmetrical form. So much for culliva-
ton, which every person ought to have
known, and must practice to get good
fruit.
There is no insect that DESTROYS them
except the currant worm. Their attack
Is on the under side of the leaves, and the
great point is to apply the hellibore to the
under side of the leaf, and about the
roots, and if faithfully done two applica.
tions is generally ST ficient, but if any
stragglers appear, give them another dose,
The first application should be made
about the time the blossoms begin to be
developed, and when the leaves are fairly
unfolded the next, some two or threa
weeks later.
My method of applying is this: Take
A piece of cheese saoking or any thinped
piece of cotton, about one foot square, and
put in one fourth of pound of the HilIe-
bore powder, then gather it up around
be end of stick two f, et long, and tie
around the end firmly, forming sack
asteued at the end of the stick. In the ,
morning before the dew is off, and not too ;
much wind, open the bushes and put the :
ack down within six or eight inches of
be Bottom, and shake it gently so as to ,
et the powder rise up and stick on the :
nder side of the leaves and on the stalks
nd some falls on the ground. If the cur.
ant of air Is too strong, and carries it too
luch one side, shake the sack on the &
'indward side little-a person will of =
ourse use judgment and care to see it is
pplied to stick on the under side of the =
aves. 81
1t takes about one ounce to branch at ~
ach application. Before the fruit is =,
ady for use the rains and wind cleans =

ing the fruit. have about thirty -
inches of as fine, healthy bushes as + IF
er saw before the worm appeared, and ri
st year produced about ten bushels of CT
rrants, and this spring look finely and f.

er on cents per bushel to raise the p
ait, If had to pay for all the labor and &C
Ter expenses, beside the picking. ST

Is IT So 2-Mr. Sheldon of Louisiana,
recently said in a speech in Congress that
he did not believe such condition of af-
fairs existed in the South, or to be appre-
hended, that would justify the suspension
of the privileges eff the writ of ha6eas cor
pus. AS one of the means of prod ucing a
better state of feeling in the sonth, he ad-
vocated the granting of general amnesty.
Good only would flow from it. He in
stanced the State of Louisiana, which was
now as quiet as Vermont.
