Statistics of ImmigrauOn.

The statistics Of immigration" OF the
port OF New York for the current year
indicate q falling off from the dimiu-
ished figures of last year, but only a
fraction of the decrease which last year
itself showed in comparison with the
year before. The number of arrivals
has dropped from 100000 in 1874 to
$4,000 in 1875, and then to- probably
10000 in 1876. OF these immigrants
Germany furnished 1881; Ireland
9,724; England, 1894; Russia, 5,04i;
Austria, 4,O47; Norway, 2,0S4: Sweden,
3,5O5; and every country of the old
world greater or less number. Africa
furnishes thirty one and China 177. 1t
is stated that nearly one third OF the I'm.
migrants remain in New York city and
its vicinity. Tho remainder are dis
tributed in the West. This year the
majority Of i'm migrants have gone to IL
linois, Kansas and Iowa. The labor
bureau OF the immigration commission
has found employment for over 7,3OU
persons. These were chiefly common
laborers and servants. Mechanical labor
was not greatly iii demand. Tailors and
shoemakers, however, found ready en-
ployment. The number seeking assist.
ance from the bureau this year has not
been as large as heretofore. 1t is said
that the fact of the universal hard times
in the United States has been widely
known, and those who have undertaken
to immigrate have generally been pro-
yided with eome means with which to
supply their immediate necessities.
About 5000 immigrants who were IL
have been received in the hospital. =:

The LoYessof Kitty and Chick,

When was a. little5 5girf neighbor
gave me aslittle 1gray and white kitten,
and shortly after another neighbor had
the misfortune to lose in oneenight an
old hen and her entire brood, save one
poor little chick; that one she gave to
me. TIE pets were soon on Che best OF
terms. When chick got Old enough to
use her wings q little the two would
have great sport. I Chick would go
round and round the house as fest as
her legs, aided by her outstretched
wings, could carry, her. with kitty close
to her heels. When LIE caught her they
would have a.rough and tumble play for
awhile, and then another race. When
tired of outdoor sports, Kitty would get
on his bed and chick would fly up and
nestle down close to him kitty would
wash her feathers, cat fashion, and
when she -wass cleaned up nicely they
would Sleep, kitty's paw encircling
chicks neck. Kitty would never hurt
her, though he often pretended he was
going to bite her. Chick, when she had
grown to be- hen, never forgot sleep
ing with kit, for, as long as she lived,
she delighted to steal into the house and
make nest in some corner on lot OF
rags, nor would she scruple to get upon
the bed if allowed. .. t,..,,........

The Dust Of William Penn.

There is little occasion for begging in
Philadelphia, this city of homes and
benevolent institutions; and mentioning
institutions reminds me, says cores.
pondent, that the William Penn hospital
furnished funny scene in a street
car. Two elegantly dressed young
ladies took their seats, and when the
conductor came for tickets the elder
sweetly, requested that the car might
stop at William PENIS grave, or as
near it as possible" The man OF the
bell punch scratched his head for an
idea. Finding none, he replied:
"You've got the best OF me, maam, "
and the turning to a young man,
whose smile testified his amusement, he
asked for information. civilian Penn
died in England, and was buried there,
l believe" said the gentleman.
"Oh I'm sure you must be mis-
taken," said the damsel with the 5rizzes
and founces.- "My sister saw MS
monument when she was here, but I've
forgotten it's exact locality"
Everybody was listening now; the
Young man didn't care to volunteer any
more, and the young woman still sought
for knowledge. There was O minute 8
pause, almost as awful as that In dull
prayer meeting; then O serene QuakercsS
came to the rescue, saying: "'fhee will

How to Stop Drinking.

A newspaper correspondent, writing
of strong drink, says Those physicians
who are not habitual drunkards don't
know anything about the progress of
the disease; they only see the results OF
it, and therefore they cannot handle it
as they do other diseases. Those who
are habitual drunkards become too
much weakened physically and intellec'
tualiy by the vice itself to be able to
pronounce cure.
I am an old drinker. Have, drank a
quart of whisky every day for the past
fifteen years, except an occasional day
or two when I have "sworn off," l am
satisfied that there is no medicine for it,
Social habits are strong incentive for
one man to drink, thirst for stimulant
for another, although the first may alb
hor the taste and smell of the fuid. The
effect is what the inebriate OF either
class desires and needs. In the interest
of the poor unfortunate inebriate let me
tell him, if he is in earnest in his desire
to break off, to shun all liquor at night
he will not be able to sleep for. q night
or two, but he will come all right in a
short. time. Let him eat a hearty break
fast and, should he be nervous a few
hours afterward, let him fight it out,
hide himself, and shake it out. One or
two hours will give him relief. Then
let him take some solid food, and hurry
to his homo, avoiding the social com
panionship of men, which is one OF his
greatest temptations, and keep himself
to himself as much as possible. All
medicines prescribed to prevent thirst
or nervousness are OF no avail. I It is the
will, and principally the will to stop
drinking at night, and tokeep aloof from,
social drinking friends. I have tried it,
and know. The dread horrors of de-
lirum tremens have never befallen me,
but T have seen them in others, and
have mado o study OF dipsomania, or I
would not offer these hints.

She burst into tears, though her eyes
flashed through them with proud indig-
nation. e.. :.
By this time the earnestness Of her
manner and the calm refinement OF her
language had carried the conviction Of
truth to her listeners heart. He gazed
st her in amazement and distress, while
a flood of shame dyed his brow.
The detective now entered, and with
deeply respectful obeisanoe to the
woman whom he had treated so insolent-
ly ten minutes ago, said: I.
"Please to accept my humble service,
Miss Arnim, and to pardon my mistake.

"Bring me cab, if you please" said
Miss Arnim. Then turning to her for
mer master, she said, pleadingly:

that l MAY be permitted to 60 without
meeting Mrs. Garret again. I can i'm

voice, "what innocent and friendless

Little moro remains to be said. The
young lady had her wish, and returned
to her fathers house without another
encounter with he, amiable mistress /;
and 80 overjoyed was the general to re-
ceive back her whom he had bitterly
mourned as lost by his own cruelty, that

young lawyer, was Immediately after

A Lesson In Cooking.

at meeting of the New York cook
ing club the following lesson was given
"Now, to make sponge cake worthy OF
the name, get a large bowl that will hold
about three quarts. Take five eggs,
half a pound Of sugar and eight ounces
of -four; break the eggs, throwing the
whites and yolks in together sift the
sugar on the eggs, and then beat up
quickly until the drippings from the
spoon drop short and cling back. At
this point It is ready for the -four. Sift
the -four, in, add half a teaspoonful Of
essence of lemon and stir up till spongy.
Then little butter must be melted in
your baking tin to lubricate the sides
we'll, sprinkling a little -four over the
batter coating to preserve the cake from
sticking to the tin or mold. Half fill
the tin or mold, and paste strips OF clean
white paper around the upper edge OF
the tin, so that they form an extra edge
of about one and one.half inches high.
The oven is not to be even moderately
hot, but allowed to get hotter as the
cake rises, and so on gradually, Until
the cake is cooked-not burned"
The professor demonstrated the con-
coction of oyster stew as follows: One
quart OF oysters, one ditto of water put
oysters in water and let boil. The
longer they boil the better the liquor
becomes and the plumper the oysters,
says the professor. "Put in q sprig OF
celery and two leaves OF parsley, 30 as
to have but one flavor made of two.
When boiled skim the oyster liquid of,
wash the oysters of, put them into their
clean liquid. add one ounce OF butter. a
half pint of milk, a saltspoonful of white
pepper, and ditto of salt; put on the fire
again. but do not let it boil; merely keep
it scalding hot and ready to serve"
The professor, right on the heels OF
oysters in stew, rushed oysters lu1u-
rating in soup. He says the best oyster
soup is simply made thus: III d..
Gone quart of oysters in their own
liquid, one pint of water added, one
sprig of parsley and one of celery, two
blades of mace. As soon as boiled,
strain the water off, skim the liquid and
place it back on the fire, but not to boil
merely to keep hot. Mix one ounce
of -four with one ditto of butter over
the fire till they bubble; add then one
pint of boiling water stir this till
smooth, then pour in the oyster liquid
remove the sprigs and leaves Of season
ing, and season to taste with salt and
pepper; mash the oysters in warm water
and return them into the liquid, and
then and there you have A No. soup
ready to be served up."

Ancient Indian Village.

Parties in from that region report the
existence of an ancient Indian village at
Paragoonah, o. T., antabouttwo hun
dred miles from Phoebe, New. The houses,
now covered with trees and brush, were
arranged in uniform rows, and were
about eight feet by nine feet: They
were all two story, built of adobe, the
lower one neatly paved and the upper
one Supported by pillars OF sandstone
rock. The only entrance discoVerable
was a sort of man-hole in the top. Bone
needles, rude appliances for grinding
corn and other relics we're found in sew
eral of the houses. There is tradition
among the Indians of that region that
long years ago the tribe that inhabited
these houses were almost ext rmlnated
in fierce fight with the Navajoes; that
the remainder of the tribe fled to the
other side of the Colorado and there
built themselves habitations In the
mountains where the Navsjoes could not
reach them, and now live there seclud-
ed. Our informant says the structure
and arrangement of the houses give evil
dence of q rude system of civilization on
the part of the builders that 10 longer
exists among the aboriginals now living
in that section.

Dairy Ventilation.

A new method of obtaining uniform
temperature and abundant fresh air in
dairies is reported. The dairy is built
of stone, and is placed on the side OF a
bill and close to an icehouse, or near
enough to it to bring the drip from the
melting ice into an open tank on the
floor Of the dairy. To secure an even
temperature, the building is sunk 2. 13
meters (about seven feet) in the ground,
and the walls, doors and windows are
made alright. To ventilate the place
two pipes, lined with slate, are laid from
the floor of the dairy, underground, in
opposite directions. One extends about
$3.50 meters Zone hundred feet) uphill,
and is then brought to the surface. The
other pipe extends on. equal distance
downhill, in the opposite direction, and
is then brought to the surface. The
open ends of these pipes are protected
by wooden wings from the influence OF
the wind, otherwise they are entirely
open at all times. In the summer,
when the temperature OF the atmos-
phere is higher than the ground, the air
in the upper pipe being cool, settles
down into the dairy, passes through it
and escapes by tho lower pipe. The
tank of Ice water serves to lower the
temperature to about fifty deg. Fahr.,
and the temperature Of the air in the
sunken pipes is about sixty deg. Fahr.,
so that the dairy is kept swet t and cool
by const mt supplies Of fresh air at a
comparatively low temperature. In
winter, the ground being warmer than
the atmosphere, reverse current is
maintained through the pipes. The
warm air in the upper pipe rises and
escapes, and draws fresh supplies of air
into the dairy through the lower pipe.
This, in its turn, raises the temperature
OF the infowing air, and prevents the
entrance OF freezing draughts. This de:
vice is said to work well in practice, and
to keep the dairy well ventilated, and at
nearly the same temperature at all sea-
sons. -Scribner'S

Watching a Sick Man.

The Vanderbilt Guard !" is the name
given to the corps of reporters whose
duty it is to wait for bulletins relative to
the health of Commodore Vanderbilt,
the railroad king. Shortly before ten
o'clock every evening, the band assem-
BILE near the residence of Mr.. Wander
bilt, and await Intelligence. In the
midst of the noise of resounding debate
comes the sound of the opening door.
A sudden rush is made up the stalks.
The bearer Of glad tidings gives the
usual announcement "There is no
change, gentlemen" Then follows q
running. fire OF questions, relevant and
irrelevant, about any incidents of the
day. It is the reporters despairing
grasp at a straw, anything which will
serve to vary the monotony of the hun
dreds of bulletins, q large portion of
which he has already evolved from his
inner consciousness When their thirst
has been sated with these driblets OF
personal gossip, the guard departs as
one man, to meet again at midnight, and
still a third time at the second small
hour OF the following morning.
A short time ago room WAS hired IN
the University building, on Washington
square, and the evening was passed by
the guard in singing songs, playing
cards, and telling anecdotes until the
time arrived to 60 the commodore's
house. After ascertaining his condition
all would return. New acquisitions to
and repeated desertions from the corps
were OF such frequent occurrence that
this place of resort was abandoned, aud
now the only times that the guard as
semple are at the hours above stated.
The persons who guard the bulletins
are frequently late, and opinions are
freely expressed as to the advisability OF
ringing the door bell Ten minutes
grace is generally given, and then some
impatient reporter takes pull at the
bell and generally succeeds In remind
ing the occupants of the house that some
one is waiting outside. Lately. the an.
nouncements at the hours of twelve and
two have been made from q front window
on the second floor. A head appears,
a thin, small voice pipes ont "all right, !"
the reporters respond with morning
greetings, and the midnight watch of the
guard IS over. 1t has been limited by
some irreverent members that the thing
was growing monotonous, but the loyal
ty of the major portion of the guard is
proof against long watches in the keen
morning air and meager reports IRON the
