THE character of the steerage passengers
now coming here from Europe is so different
from formerly that the Commissioners of
Emigration at Castle Garden, New York, find
but little employment. They may be sup
posed to be taking care of the poor and igno-
rant immigrants, but none of that class are
arriving. Those who are coming are intelli-
gent people, and many, if not the great ma
jerity of them, having been here before, they
are abundantly capable of taking care of
themselves. There is good deal of travel to
and from Europe in the steerage Of persons
who are taking advantage Of the present low
rates of fare to see the Old and the New
Worlds, the curious of the Old World coming
to the New and those of the New World
going to the Old. According to some of the
prominent ocean steamship officials it is
probable that it will be a long time before the
influx of laborers and farmers into this coun-
try from Europe will reach even the mini
mum of former and more prosperous days.

GOVERNOR YOUNG, of Ohio, gives an
amusing account of the manner in which
epistolary applications to President Hayes
from ofice-seekers are treated in Washing
ton. Mr.. Hayes has three secretaries and
four clerks, and these gentlemen attend to all
his correspondence, even that marked private
and personal. In front of these gentlemen
are number of large baskets; one is marked
State, another War, another Navy, another
Post Office, and so on through each of the
departments. Every letter is opened and
carefully read. If its writer wants place
for himself or friend as postmaster, the
document is endorsed "Postal Department"
and thrown into the basket of that depart
ment. If for place in any other depart
ment, it is correctly endorsed and thrown in
to its proper basket. Occasionally letter is
found the contents of which show that it
should be seen by the Presidential eye, and
this is placed in small basket labelled
President" When all the mail has been
opened and distributed it is carried off to the
various departments, where it is again exam
ined, and then pigeon-holed for future refer
ence. OF the immense mail sent the Presi-
dent every day from ofice-seekers hardly one
letter in fifty ever reaches the Presidents eye.

IT seems a little singular that while the old

IT seems little singular that while the old
manufactures in the North have been more
or less affected by the depression of the last
few years, the newer establishments of the
South continue to prosper. The cotton mills
in Georgia and Texas are paying good divi-
dends, and movements to develop the iron
resources of Tennessee and Alabama have ex-
perienced little or no interruption, The i'm
portance of diversified industry is fully re-
allied. Manufactures must 60 hand-in-hand

OUR New York correspondent, "H'' writes
of the rapid advance in wheat and corn con-
sequent on the warlike news from Europe.
In Baltimore 100000 bushels of corn were
sold Saturday at an advance of ten cents a

shillings the quarter. Flour in New York
commands about two dollars more a barrel.
