THE PAUPER ITALIANS.


camped In Castle Garden-How They
were Induced to Leave Their Native
Lnnd-What VIII We DO with Them /.
The authorities at Castle Garden are in O
troubled state OF mind relative to the three hun
dred Italian emigrants that the Holland brought
out on her last trip. These unfortunate natives OF
Ia belle Itayie are certainly bona Jdde specimens,
and would be OF immense value to any theatrical
manager wishing to introduce an Italian bandit
scene with the genuine article imported expressly
for the occasion. There is not one Of the three
hundred that can speak one word OF English and
they sit around the stoves In Castle Garden en-
veloped in their long cloaks and keep up
perpetual chatter among themselves. They are
certainly the victims OF most heartless swindlc,
as the circulars which were scattered broadcast
over Italy held out the most liberal inducements
to the emigrant. The larger portion OF these un-
fortunates purchased tickets at prices varying
from two hundred ana nfty to three hundred and
twenty-five francs, in gold, for Buenos Ayres, but
were

From the above It appears that the rates of fare
are exorbitant In the extreme and tile passenger
agents must have pocketed on an average from
twenty-five to thirty dollars on each Of their vic
Tins.
THE ITALIAN CONSUL
appears to be entirely ignorant about them. and
says as he had received no communication on the
subject they win have, like other destitute emil
grants, to go to Wards Island They have certainly
arrived at very unfortunate season OF the year,
as there Is no work going on In the sewers
at present, branch OF labor which has given en-
ployment to many Of their compatriots. The Ma
tional Steamship Company brought these emf
grants out in the Holland, from Havre, but they
chased from their agent, X. Odinet, at the Rue dc
10 Chaussee, Havre. The commissioners of Emf
grafton now In correspondence with the Italian
Minister, and In the meantime the new arrivals
will be accommodated at Wards Island.
