Erman Bonard made no answer, but
swept with despairing hopeful eye the

again he gave way TO his grief.

tN5w Yoi k Sun. !

Yesterday morning, after the Ma.
tioual Line steamship Helvetia
reached her anchorage in the
North River, and the cabin passen-
gers had been sent ashore, y tender
was warped alongside to be laden
with steerage passengers, Mr..
Hurst, the agent of the line III New
York, had instructed Mr.. Mclean,
the passenger agent, to separate
from the others those who were
bound to feXus, and to keep them
on board ship. Thtse commands
were passed along the decks, and
soon aftrrwartl the tender steamed
away with IL very singular looking
party of peop'e in odd attire, hail
ing from Sweden aud Norway,
England, Scotland. ireland and
Germany. The majority were
roughly dressed ana poor, but some
wore silks, kid gloves and jewelry,
some were in rags, and a few were
clad in the peasant smocks and
thick fur hats of northern Earope.
Tue people that remained in the
Helvetia in Mr.. McLeans care were
Of a different class from the Others.
They were English Armers-the
sons and great great grandsons of
the tillers of the soil of Noting
hamshire, Yorkshire and Durham,
who have left their farms and their
people behind to begin life anew in
this country. They are in the van
of u great movement, alarming to
the English people, and that has
for months occupied the attention
of the press and Parliament of
Great Britain. On Sunday there
arrived in New York two members
of Parliament appointed by that
body az u Commission to study
American systems, and then sug-
gest measures of re!ief-but before
they have been here week there
will be landed another band of EN-
igrant farmers in another National
Line vessel, and third band in
still another ship.
The immigrants in the Helvetia
yesterday were not permitted to
land, because they are booked
through to Texas, where they all
intend to settle, and the steamer to
which they are to be transferred
does not start until Wednesday
morning. If we left them to the
tender mercies of the people they
would meet on shere," said MIR.
Mclean, "not one of them would
ever see Texas, and but few would
keep their money against the wiles
OF the land sharks" Therefore
Mr.. Hurst made an arrangement
with the Commissioner of Emigra.
ton whereby il was possible for the
farmers and their families to live
aboard the ship two days Longer
than usual. They had more reason
to enjoy this than appears at frs
glance, for from being penned vi
in the steerage they were suddenly
given the freedom of the decks, ant
before the tender sped away, tn
ruddy children were romping amid
ships, and the men and womel
lined the ships rail and looke'
down upon the other i'm immigrant
with whom they had parted.
There are ninety -four men, WON

GRANT ava the Nicaragua Canal
Project.

New YORK, Sept. 1.-THE ,Su,,
has an editorial on Grant and the
Nicaragua Canal, in which IL says:
Times are too hard in all countries
countries to think of snch project
at present. Grant is strong man,
but it remains to be seen whether
the power claimed for him Is
strong enough to unlock millions of
capital for this object. Here,
where he Is best known, his friends
will soon have chance to prove
their confidence by subscribing lib
orally and paying down the first
instalment, if they have faith in
the Mic iragua project.
CsrIo;,s p".,i's Movements.
NEW YORK, Sept. 17th.-Car-
lotta Patti and company arrived
yesterday. Her agent said: 1--WE
shall stay here for three weeks and
then go to Boston, returning by
way OF this city to Philadelphia,
from which city we go through the
West to San Francisco, across the
Pacific to Australia, sing there for
season, and then go back to Eu-
rope by way of the Suez Canal.
Patti will be heard in this country
this season for the last time. She
did not care to travel, but the op-
portunity afforded to make trip
around the world proved attractive
enough to lead her away from Eu-
rope. When she returns, it will be
to remain there"

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-Lieutenant-
General sheridan has received ill.,
structions from the War Depart
ment at Washington to detail a
sufficient force of military from the
nearest agency to arrest the insub-
ordinate Ute Indian chiefs on the
White river aud to enforce obedi-
ence to tue agents requirements,
also to hold the ringleaders az pris-
oDers for investigation.

Indian Antiquities.

\. w. Mitchell received on Thursday
last, large accession to his collection of
curiosities. from the northwestern part of
the county, consisting Of a stone utensil,
which was probably made by the Indians
that formerly inhabited the country along
the Susquehanna river, but possibly may
have been made by the Mound Builders,
who, there is reason TO think, inhabited this
part of the country before the advent of the
Indians and who undoubtedly belonged to
another race. This utenSil was found near
the Brick Meeting House, and is about ten
inches long and eight inches in height and
width. The material of which it is made
resembles soapStone in some respects, but is
heavier and not hard to cut The cavity i.
about seven inches long, four inches wide
and three inches deep.
There was also another oblons-shap
stone among the collection, which seemed
to be of more modern construction and bore
the marks of some sharp instrument with
which it had been followed out.
The larger Of the two had projections At
either end, which were probably intended TO
be used for handles to aid in lifting it, Ac-
companyins these utensils were about seven
ty-iive Indian darts, as they are commonly
called, which were used by the Indians for
arrow heads. They are OF nearly all sorts,
sizes and shapes, some OF them being nearly
four inches long, and OF proportionatr
width; others are quite small, as if desi sned
for shooting birds or oth.r small game
Among the collection is small, nearly
sobular stone, supposed to nave been used
for grinding corn. Altogether, the collection
is the most unique, with one exception, that
we know of in this county.
