Who Have "G0ne West" Iately-The
Hard Times Working out Their own
Cure.
From the New York Tribune.
During the late dull times there has been
large falling off in immigration, and that
fact has been one of the bad signs OF the
times. The United States has gained
great relietfrom the stoppage OF this heavy
influx OF laborlng people from Europe.
The welfare OF the country has, however,
been promoted to a far greater degree by a
movement OF the population which mas
been going on for few years within the
boundaries Of tho land itself, and which
In 1878 reaches an unprecedented nagni-
tude. A heavy immigration has taken
place from the cast to the south and west;
and though the movement has gone on so
silently rs scarcely to attract attention, it
has become so important as to constitute
one Of the most cheering facts in the
whole business situation at the present
time. 1t is one of the causes Of the recent
revival Of the dropping prosperity OF the
east, and 1t is regarded as laden with
bright promises for the immediate future.
There are means at hand for estimating
the magnitude OF this movement with con
siderable accuracy. In the annual report
OF ]. a. Williamson, commits ioner Of the
land Office, for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1873, attention was called to the fact
that the sales Of public land to actual set
tiers during 1878 had been about double
those Of the year before. The Tribune has
lately obtained large amount OF private
information in regard to the land sales Of
the calendar year OF 1878, and also Of the
last seven years. As far as can be ascer-
tanned the figures for 1873 appear to have
exceeded those Of any years In recent his
tory, especially when to the disposal OF
public lands By the government are added
the sales by the land grant railroads, the
State Of Texas and private individuals.
These sales, when considered in the light
OF the small immigration OF tho past two
or three years, show what the exodus has
been from the Eastern States. The follow
ing are the figures for a few years back, the
column as to tho railroads being an esti-
mate based on private reports obtained
from twenty land grant lines, tho actual
figures being larger II anything:

TUE ORIGIN OF CR0QUE1.

Croquet players, who have begun to In
dulge in their fayorite and fashionable sport,
will be interested in the origin OF the game.
Croquet is not, as many suppose, OF modern
birth, but may be traced through its various
stages to Persia as far back as the eighth
century. 1t origin was polo, which the
Persians played with long handled mall
let called chugan. In the ninth century the
game made its way into the Eastern empire,
the original mallet changing Its form to a
long staff ending in broad bend filled
with net work of gut-strings. Thus.
says writer on the subject, there appeared
in the East as belonging to the great sport
of ball-play on horse back the first shapes o.
two implements which remodeled the play.
life of medieval modern Europe,the ehuga'
being the ancestor of the mallets used il
croquet, and of an Iendless variety of othe
playing clubs and bats, while the bent stat
with its net work, was a primitive rack
et'
We find that the original ball games Il
which sticks were used were played oi
horseback, and instead of polo being an out
growth of these sports played on foot, tn
latter are the changes made in the Persia
game of chugan, which, as has been said
was the parent of all our games in whic
artificial means are used to propel the bal

to the short-handled mallet used on foe

THE PRODIGAL son.

From the way in which he turned out
when be grew to be young man, it is easy
enough to conclude what kind Of q boy the
Prodigal Son was. He was terribly entrav-
agant from child. There wasn't anything
in the house too good for him. Every cent
he could get his hands on he spent
for candy and things. If his mother
gave him nickel to put in the contribution
box, he bought peanuts with it on his way
to Sunday-school, eating them all up on the
road, and not caring cent if the poor
heather didn't have peanut to their back.
The money that could spend He would
wear his best suit week days, and could not
be induced to go bare footed in the summer,
as the rest or the boys had to do. He smok
ed ten-cent cigars before he was six years
old, while other boys were satisfied with
grapevine.
Atten, he wore Understanding collars and
a plug hat, and the nobbiest suit that the
tailor could make. He carried natty
little cane, parted his hair in the middle
and sported an eye.glsss. He drank pony
brandy, ,ponying up twenty-five cents drink
for it, and spoke to his father as the gov
ernor,' and h is mother as the old woman
He was regular patron of the opera, which
he pronounced 'Aw, deused fine, you knsw,
and never missed the the theatre matt
nee.
At an age when boys were usually at
school, this young progdal was hanging
around bars and biliard-saloons, learning
those lessons in vice and vulgarity which
fitted him for the companionship he was to
seek when he came to his estate. If they
had Sunday night theatres in those days, the
lad was undoubtedly a regular attendant,
and his father pre- badly had numerous liv-
cry bills to pay for his Sunday riding. No
hor:e-race came off without that young rep
rebate being seen on the track, hat on one
side of his empty head, and a cigar in his
mouth, making bets with the grown.up and
and otherwise gray-hesded infants around
him: And he probably never missed q
chicken dispute or a prize-fght that wa,
anywhere within reach.
We have all seen just such boys, and w
know they never come to any good. There
is responsibility at home for their con
duct, frequently, that is apt to be overlook
ed. A father too much engrossed in busi
ness, or mother too absorbed in fashion
and society to heed what their boy is doing
or what company he keeps. Or ifpeccadil'
los are brought to their attention by som,
friend of the family, who doesn't get an.
thanks for it, they are only smiled at an,
passed by as the natural outbursts OF a some
what exuberant nature.
While we have admired the cordial recep
tion which his parents gave the prodigal 50
on his return as tramp, and cannot spea
too highly of their ibe.ality in Staying til
pampered bovine to celebrate the event, "
we have always felt there must have bee
something lacking in the way they brougt
the young man up, or he wouldn't hay
turned out as he did. But if they forgiy
the p. J., we have no business to complain.

DANGER IN A SEAL SKIN SACQUE.

1t was fearfully battered up citizeness
that walked into police headquarters the
other day, and demanded a warrant.

blank. What is the scoundrels name mad

1T wasn't man. 1t was that ugly,spite
full hussy, Mrs. McGufiey. I'll have her
hearts blood ?
You don't mean to say that it was WON.
an who battered you up in that fearful man
ner?'
. I'll tell you all about it. You see the
disgusting creature lives next to me. And
this morning was just polishing up our
cske-basket-real silver, your Honor-when
what should see going past the window
but Mrs. McGufiey, starting out for walk

Yes, madam, but
The idea of her in seal skin when she
can hardly pay her rent. l just ran to the
window to see if it was a seal skin or not, AND

And leaned-and l leaned-and thu

But the official hesrtlessly refused to in
terfere, and the female wreck walked of
consolng herself with the reflection that
was wash-day, and that, at all events, sh
could cut all the clothes-line tied to her bac
fence, and let down the McGufiey linen il
to the dirt.

the elder of the two men, Mr.. Allyn, had

of my dismay. Actually engaged to the

as the wife of fellow who had little ambi.

There was nothing in the man, absolutely
nothing. Why, only a week before he had
shown lack Of legal acumen in case--a
mere technicality--of which the rawest
student should not have been ignorant. What
women can see in some men-but there,
must not get incoherent. l looked at my
ring after my disturbed thoughts, and its
rosy CLEAN gave me fresh courage. After
rejecting day resolved to remorselessly
and determinately cut him out.
1t was quite in my power to be of service
to Mr.. Allyn, and in return he asked me to
his fathers house to dinner. So saw my
lady Maud at home, and there, where true
women shine best, I found her more sweet
and womanly than she looked to me before.

that her betrothed became jealous of me

it, to beg her to give me the hand he had

was escorting her home from the theatre, and
l told her the story of my ring, and she be-
lieved in its magic more firmly than l did.
1T has never failed me yet, Miss Allyn

Col. Forney, in his Progress, makes the
startling statement that there has never
been President of the United States that
did not use wine,' from Washington to date.
We have little concern with what has gone !;
it is the living present which is big with
import for us and when Col. Forney says,
r.. B. Hayes, the last time l saw him in
Philadelphia, joined me in a glass OF cham
pagne at the Union League we may we'll
ask if there isn't some mistake about this ?
If by r.. B. Hayes, Col. Forney means the
incumbent of the White House, and if Col.
Forney makes this asseveration on his re-
sponsibility as man and journalist, then
we let 20 of our confidence in a reform ad-
ministration. Can it be true that the man
who refused to have wine at a state dinner
takes it behind the door at the Upior
League Can it be that the pride of tn,
Sabbath school, the prop of the Foundr,
Church and the patron of the Mrs. r. b
Hayes Total Abstinence Society circumvent
his avowed principles and, in word, play
it double We prefer to think that Col
Forney has sat at the wine table and clinke
glasses with some r. B. Hayes to fortun
and TO fame unknown. = CArontcl,. Herald,
