The Washington Star, says :

MANY housekcepers have adopted the rule
of refusing to contribute anything 10 the way
of food TO the juvenile mendicants carrying
baskets or bags who cxpend their vigor every
evening in viking door bells. They express
their wilngne, at all tines to contribute to
the relief OF applicants for aims, but do not feel
called upon to aid in filing large baskets and
bags, the contents of which are intended for
whole families living in dlencss and making no
effort to secure employment SO long as tnelr
children are successful III begging
The question Of placing aims where they will
do the most good has never been definitely set

US that We would rather risk the chance and the

THE VIRGINIA IMMIGRATION SCHEME.
The Virginia immigration Committee met
again this morning at room 1872 of the Metro
politau Hotel,
Geo. Fizhugh Lee called the attention OF
the conference to the importance OF using every
possible means to forward immigration TO the
State. He said he had received letter from
Mr.. Benger, gentleman Of Albemarle county,
Va, who was going to Europe, and who would
be glad to carry circulars to Europe, and by
any other meaDs to forward the scheme. He
hoped the Committee would meet MIR. B. at
Ford hotel, in Richmond, on the 10Th of Feb
ruary.
Mr.. Handy, of Richmond, thought that
Cooks Tourists Agency might be used to for
ward the scheme. and that facilities TO allow
these tourists to reach Virgiaia ought to be
secured from the railroads.
Hon. r. E. Withers Introduced resolution
requesting tic Genera! Assembly Of Virginia
to appoint Superintendent of immigration,
with proper Office and pay. 1t was said hat
Cooks Agency had failed to obtain reduction
Of fares on any of the railroads for foreign
tourists.
Col. NJ. D. Ball, Of Alexandria, said that
the influence OF Mr. Garrett in the Virginia
Midland Railroad was the greatest impeachment
u the way of that road making arrangements
to draw immigration to Virginia. 1t was not
tourists, but settlers that the State wanted.
Col Ed. Daniels urged the conference to re-
member that The ucrthWes was more likely to
send men aud money to Virginia than any for
eigD country. He thou. b; it would pay the
State to create Commission Of Immigration
and give $4,000 to advertise her advantages
to Immigrants The Eastern and Western
Traus- Continental lines were the greatest foes
that the material Interests of the Southern
States had. Their agents always spoke in the
most derogatory manner Of the South, and
hindered Immigration hither as far as possible.
The resolution OF Senator Withers was then
adopted and the meeting adjourned.
Most of the delegation will leave for Rich
mopd io.Djpht.
