THE decrease of emigration for the
first six months of 1874 shows falling
off of from twenty to about fifty per
cent, as compared with the correspond
ing months in 1873. The difference is
chiefly seen in the German element.
In six months'of the present year, of
the eighty-two thousand immigrants
arrived, an unusually large proportion
90 directly to the western states. Sew
eral of the steamships recently arriv-
ing have been almost exclusively filled
with young Irish women, who came
over for the express purpose of hiring
out as housekeepers, and accordingly
have distributed themselves in part
through New York city, but still more
largely over the eastern states.

THE Vermont Farmer says: we
have often urged farmers TO begin to
fatten their hogs in the summer rather
than wait until fall, as is the custom Of
many. 1t has been established by re-
peated experiments that given guam
tity of grain produces more pork IL fed
before cold weather. We would not
advise that hogs be fatted so rapidly
that it will be necessary to slaughter
them before the proper time, but they
should be kept thriving SO that there
will not be great deal to do after Sc

Throw Physic to the Dogs.

From the Pittsburgh Telegraph.
The Faculty, the druggists, and pill
vendors arc in great danger Of losing
their vocation by the introduction Of a
new curative power described in the
Pittsburgh Post this morning. A lady
of this city received injuries by fall,
which CAUSED her to take to her bed,
where she has remained for many
months suffering from a complication OF
disease" which 'baflled the skill OF the
most learned medical skill of the city"
Day by day she grew weaker, until lat
last the physicians gave up all hopes OF
her recovery. and informed her friends
that her DAYS were numbered" But, we
will let the Post tell the rest of the won
drous story:
"In the meantime the invalid, who is
Il member of the Catholic Church, was
frequently visited by her pastOrand other
members of the Catholic clergy and by
the sisters These good people made
hers Il special case in their prayers dur
ing the entire week devoted to prayers
for the sick. Her pastor bathed her with
water from the Virgins Well of LourdeS,
and rigidly observed all other forms and
provisions of the church. On Sunday
last the period of prayer for the sick
closed, and on Monday the young lady
felt her condition much improved.
This improvement has continued
throughout the week, and now the
Young lady has regained her appetite,
eats heartily, is rcgaining additional
strength daily, and presents every evi-
dencc of wholly recovering her health,
nil Of which is attributed to the efficacy
OF prayer and the water from the we'll of
LourdrS.
We maj mention of this cxtraordi-
nary circumstance with the utmost con-
sidrration for the faith and feeling ola
parties at the solicitation of Il candidate
on the Democratic ticket of heroical in
cliningS. who desires that the Post shall
not press belief in this miraculous cure
as q test of Democratic. Orthodoxy, other
wise he will have to intrrp0Se the West
minister Confession. That all.

THANKS to the bounty of the world,
the Chicago Relief and Aid Society re-
ceived in 1871 more than was needed ut
that time for the relief of sufferers by
the great fire. This surplus has been
carefully husbandcd. UnconsciouSly the
society has been saving for another time
of trial. and it is thought that the fund
already on hand, together with what tn"
citizens of Chicago may themselves con-
tribute, will be sufficient t" relieve the
necessities of those who We're rendered
homeless by the fire last Tuesday. The
Chicago Tribune says:
The most pitiable sight perhaps in
this pitiable world is that Of some poor
widow moving out ola fire, with bun
die Of clothing on one arm and a baby
on the other, or mounted on a little
stock of damaged furniture on nm cX-
press-wagon, with troop of frightened
children about her. Many such sights
alas, were seen on Tuesday! 1t is all
very well to say that those wooden rock
cries ought to have burned, and wcr"
sure to burn some time. That does not
help the poor widow to get roof over
her head or to take care of her nur.lingS.
at WAS precisely that class Of the COM
munity who are least able to bear the
blow who were struck by the calamity
of Tuesday. The victims belong large
ly to a class too poor to insure, too igno-
rant to understand the advantages of in
surance, or too improvident to care
whether they are insured or not

In looking over the columns of Your

These notions of his special fitness and
claims to the office are principally copied
from exchanges. He is not doubt labor
ing hard to obtain the nomination, and
seems even disposed to take consent

Convention.
But as the latter mode is not likely to
be submitted to, and it being re-

nation of q candidate that will be accept

whose personal integrity, varied accom-
plishments aid answering democracy
so eminently fit and qualify him for the
place.
After being defeated in the last con-
yention his devotion to the interests of
the Democratic party led him to take
the stump in favor of his successful com.
petitor. The force and power Of his ar
gument on Republican misrule was felt
throughout the upper end of the district,
and, in fact, wherever his voice was rails
odd Democrats took renewed courage. He
ia modest and unassuming in his manner;
Zoo much so to press his claims as they

hast evidence in the world OF his fitness
for the position. He is not going around r.
