The Increase of Foreigners.

Two thousand three hundred and
thirty-one passengers were landed at
Castle Garden in the month of February,
out of which number 1885 were aliens
and 746 either citizens or persons who
had been in the country before. This is
an increase of $50 over the returns for
January, and of 384 over February OF
last year. The classification of the inn
migrants shows points of interest, espe.
cially in the view of the European
complications. Russia sends us 19S-a

while Turkey has not single represent

Sol. snlrn's curse.

Sol Smiths brother Lemuel, a young
actsr, was killed in Augusta, GA. His
murderer, Flournoy, was acquitted by
the jury on the plea that the killing
might be classed as the result OF duel.
After hearing the verdict. Sol Smith said
to the homicide:
Before God and man I charge you with
numbering nv brother The sleep of the
innocent will never more be yours.
You are murderer, and will ever more
carry the mark of homicide upon your
brow. From this time forth in this
world you will never sleep again"
Two years later Sol was accosted by an
abject-Iooking wretch, who stood before
him in an attitude of supplication 1t
was VIM. Flournoy.
''Why do you follow me ?'' said Sol.
Because want you to shoot me
right here"
"No, it is not for me to punish you"
was the reply.

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.

How a Crazed Woman was Bntaly Treated
Susan Whitehorn, the woman who mas
been on the county for several months,
supposed to be crazy, was removed few
days sgo, by her brother, TO his home ia
Illinois, her former residence. Her bio
tory, as far as known, is indeed a sad one.

wishes of her family, she left herhomc aud

she was taken charge of by the
authorities. Money was madeup 10 defray

took all the money and deserted the
unfortunate wife, alone, friendless and
demented, on the bank Of the river.
1t is with shame and modification that
we chronicle the fact that this poor
miserable creature was kept chained like

Who Loses the Eight Cents.

Seventy or eighty papers have come to
hand this week, inquiring in a pathetic
voice who it is that loses the eight cents
when a laboring man takes a ninety-two-
cent silver piece for dollar. Now, this
is the very thing that has puzzled us.
If a carpenter receives from the govern
ment ninety-twe-cent silver piece for
dollar and passes it upon his butcher for
dollar, and the butcher passes it upon
the shoemaker for dollar, and the shoe
maker passes it upon his landlord for
dollar, and the landlord passes it for q
dollar upon the state for taxes, and the
state passes it for dollar upon mason
for work on the new state-house. and tho
mason passes it for dollar to merchant
for silk dress for his wife, and the mer.
chant passes it for dollar to the custom
house officer for import duties. and tho
United States treasurer passes it as dol
lar to soldier, and the soldier passes II as
dollar to the same carpenter herein.

Nr. Alexander Jameson, of Berlin, in
Australia, has constructed a buggy con-
sisting exclusively of iron and steel. In
place of hickory spokes and oak felloes,
he has employed wrought iron tubes and
T-iron. The tubes fit into the axle-box
at one end and are riveted to the L iron
at the other. The first noticeable effect
has been to add to the weight OF the
vehicle. This has accrued in spite OF
the thinness Of the parts. The cost also
has been enhanced. The extra weight is
not considered important by the maker,
IN view of the strength which must resull
from the use of iron in place of wood,
nor should it be felt, once astart is made,
except in the ascent of hills. Strength
and durability are regarded as a full
equivalent for the increase of cost. The
vehicle has neat look, and an appear
ance, if not reality, of lightness, which
renders it attractive.

BONAPARTE's MANNER.

ReooIleotons Of tse MARQUIS de 8eaufegard
Generally, the speeches of Bonapart e
were lucid and sparkling; the were con-
else, vigorous, full of Power and sense
but wanting in feeling. The impression
excited by this young man was painful
imagination the mind vas dazzled by
the superiority of his tilents, but the
heart felt oppressed. There was not to
be found in him any trace of that gener-
Gus magnannimity that ferestalls con-
fidence, and forms the most beautiful
feature in the character OF heroes.
Among the Personages
met in the different scenes just de
scribed, Bonaparte alone seemed,
to possess the habits and easy air
given by freguenting society. His smooth
auburn hair was dressed in queue it
was not powdered, and hung very low
over his forehead and the sides of his
face; his eyes were red with fatigue.
He had the smooth, sallow coloring that
Psychologists state 10 belong to melan-
choly temperaments, and is, in their
opinion, an index OF the greatest powers
of mind. Lastly, IS said before, he was
quite destitute of gentleness or grace.
His actions and words always bore the
impress of a hard arrogance, making his
superiority always felt, but by making
others i'll at ease. As ne was going away
the Marquis Henry somewhat happily
expressed the painful feeling he had ex-
perienced. General" was his depart-
ing speech, why cannot men love yoti
as much as they are compelled to esteem
