MoRMoSs MOYING-NEW MEXICO INVADED
Ry TuEM-THE IMMIGRANTS READY TO VOTE.
Some time has elapsed since the New YORK
sam made the discovery that q number OF
Mormons were emigrating to New Mexico
with view to settling portions OF that Ter
ritory, and in the election soon to take place
of controlling the popular vote so as 10 1oru
q Constitution in their own favor, and thus
legally come under the protection OF the
United States as the ruling power IN new
State. Though nothing more has been hearu
of the matter until within the last TWO OF
three DAYS, the discovery and rcVelatloh
created intense excitement among the natlves
OF New Mexico, and being Thoroughly unael
the control Of the priesthood, they were
alarmed by the threatened danger TO thelr
peculiar institutions should the power OF
the State pass into the hands OF a class OF
people SO different from themselves.
They accordingly made diligent inquiries,
and, as it appears by recent advices, dlscoV-
cred the story to have its foundation IN TACT.
Several settlements Of MormonS have been
established in two or three Of the most fertile
river valleys OF New Mexico, the new COM
ers having made themselves so much at home
as to lay out q town or two, to erect num-
bers of very substantial houses, to dig irri-
eating bitches, and in various other ways to
render themselves comfortable The bands
OF Mormons consist solely OF young, active,
energetic men, who are willing and able to
work as well as to vote. Investigations
having been made by some leading men Of
New Mexico resulted in the discovery also
that large numbers of Mormons were eX-
pected from Utah, and that the alarm given
was by no means false.--St. .Loais Globe. Z

The VIRGINIA BOARD OF IMMIGRATIoN.-
We have never taken much stock in this in
stitution, and when its ponderous blanks
were printed and distributed all over the
State we predicted that it would be use
less expenditure Of money. Our County
Court clerk was appointed an agent, but we
don't think he ever took the trouble to notify
the people Of the county OF the fact; and
we think he acted wisely, because the whole
plan was cumbersome and expensive, too.

Tho valns of trees In n sanitary poiut of
view in large and overcrowded cities can
scarcely be over-estimAted. Apart from the
sense OF relief and GOODNESS which they impart,
their value as purifiers of the atmosphere is
almost Incredible. It has been calculated that
good-szed elm, plano or lime tree will pro-
duce 900 900 leaves, having a united area Of
100000 square feet. The influence of such @
large surface in the absorption of deleterious
gasses and the exhslation of oxygen must
therefore be of immense benefit in overcrowded
and unhealthy districts In London and all
large cities there exists great number Of
waste spots in which one or more trees could
be planted to advantage every way. In this
respect, at all events, they manage things bet
tor in France, and indeed in most Continental
cities, whore the boulevards are kept cool in
simmer and warm in winter, owing to the in
iuence which trees have in modifying temper
allure; in addition, they tend by absorption to
purify the soil below, "a well as the atmosphere
above them. One great cause of failure in the
introduction of trees in London hitherto has
arisen from the want of knowledge as to the
particular species which thrive best ia a smoky
city. 1t is now we'll known that the plane and
the most suitable, as they not only expose q
large leaf surface to the atmosphere, but by
shedding their bark annually throw off the re-
suits of smoke, acids and other poisonous
fumes which, by accumulation, would be fatal
to the British oak or other trees Of a slower
growth and an apparently moro hardy nature
A society for planting trees in the wide streets
and waste places Of the metropolis might 40.
oomplish as beneficial results as the excellent
institution W hich supplies drinking-fountains
for the refreshment of man and beast.

| refused to take up the question after the
vote Of the House Of Commons a few
determined to try his luck with bill. The
! measure was set down for Wednesday,
but, being low in the list, It did not seem
likely, up to the beginning of the week, to
come under discussion at all on that day,
When Wednesday came, however, not

TONNAGE OF TRIsH PORTS.
In connection with the bill establishing
Admiralty Courts in Cork and Belfast, MI
Murphy, N. P, has obtained Parliamen-
tary return of the tonnage of those ports,
and Of Dublin, Galway, Limerick, Derry,
from 1862 to 1865, and of 1872 to 1875 re-
EFFECTIVELY. The result is to show that
Cork and Belfast between them receive
threefonrths of our maritime commerce,
and that remarkable progress has been
made by both of these ports since 1862. In
that year the tonnage of the port of Cork
was only 4Os,727, whereas in 1872, it was
2, 1874, 752, including the vessels calling for
orders, and in 1875 there was further in
crease to 3,37l ,0is. In 1862 the tonnage of
Belfast was 96l ,927, and last year it had
risen to 1864 geo. Dublin is the only
other port making q large return, its ton
mage last year having been little over
two millions. Waterford and London
derry were about equal in 1862, the ton
noge of vessels entering each harbor being
A little under 100000 bat in 1875 the tom
mage of Londonderry was about GU. 900
against $50 600 in Waterford. In Limerick
Ind Galway the tonnage has been almost
stationary, the returns in 1875 being
139 900 and ST 500
