RETURNED FROM EUROPE.

Among the passengers on the Ameri-
can steamship Ohio, which arrived at
Philadelphia from Liverpool about a
week ago, was William M. Field, of this
city. MIR. Field went to Europe about
four months ago for the benefit of his
health, and while absent he visited va
rious points of interest in England, Ger
many, France and Switzer and.
He spent thi ee weeks at Carlsbad, the
celebrated watering resort of Germany
and whi there met Senator Bayard and
wife. MIS-. Bayard is greatly improved
in health, as is also Serat Bayard.
On the return trip Mr.. Field met Col.
Thomas Scott, President OF the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, who was also returning
from Europe.
MIR. Field became acquainted Mr..
Scott, and durins a conversation that
gentleman expressed himself as being
Somewhat surprised that some of our
monied men did not build wharf on
the river front. He had no hesitancy
IN saving that ii such wharf was built
the oc an bound steamers would stop
and take and leave off passengers and
freight. He further SAID that if such q
line was built, the American Steamship
Line would stop there during the winter
months, instead of cutting their way
through the ice to Philadelphia.

THE OPERA TO-NIGHT.

This evening at the Grand Opera
House will be performed for the first
time in this city, Charles Lecocq's opera
of the Little Duke. So much has already
been said in regard to the opera, that II
is hardly worth while to add anything
more to what has already been SAID.

1t is commonly said that New York
is, in respect of population, substanti-
ally a foreign city; that more than
600, 900 of its denizens are of alien
birth. The number of Irish citizens is
usually given in round numbers at 4OO,-
600; of Germans at 100000; of French
at $4,000; of Italians, Spaniards and
Cubans at $4,000. This is an exagger-
alton, and a great one. The native
population exceeds the foreign by about
125, 200. According to the census of
1870, there were 201 ,999 Irish, "a, ,442
English, 1862 Scotch, Isl PIG Germans,
S,265 French, 794 Italians, 2,737 Aus
trians, 1888 Poles, 2,178 Swiss, 1, ,237
Hollanders, 1,151 Russians. This is a
very large proportion of foreigners,
certainly, but nothing like the proper
ton generally supposed. There were
then 1902 colored persons, who are
said to have largely increased since.
The women are reported to have in
creased also, there being, nine years
ago, an excess over men of more than
$4,000. The Chinese are much more
numerous than they used to be. The
census of 1870 gives but twelve, and
now there are, 1t is said, over 700, some
putting the number as high as 1000.
The census of 1880 will show many
changes, and probably a notable in
crease in population, especially as two
wards have been added since 1870. II
is thought that the native population
has gained considerably on the foreign
since the last census, and that figures
will show the gain.-N Y. Times.

Columbus Lost Anchor Recovered.

A curious relic of one of the expedi-
tons which sailed to the West Indies
under the command of Columbus has,
it is stated by a Martinique journal,
been recently discovered. On the 4th
of August, 1893, a small squadron of
three vessels, under the orders of Chris
topher Columbus, was anchored off
the southwestern extremity of the
island of Trinidad. Late at night,
Columbus, it is related by Washington
Irving, suddenly saw a wall of water
approaching toward the feet from the
south. His own vessel was lifted up so
high by the incoming wave that he
feared it would be either submerged or
dashed on shore; while the cable of one
of the other ships parted under the
strain to which it was subjected. The
crews of the vessel gave themselves up
for lost; but after time the wave,
which it is surmised must have been
caused by an exceptionally large body
of water coming suddenly down one of
the rivers flowing into the Gulf of Paria.
ebbed back again. This sudden rise of
the waters of the gulf is mentioned by
Columbus son Ferdinand, who adds
that the fleet suffered no damage save
the loss of one anchor. 1t is this anchor

Manufacture Of Clothing.

1t is estimated that $4,000 men and
women are employed in Philadelphia in
the manufacture of clothing, and 20,-
100000 suits are made there every
year. Cutting machines are gradually
finding their way into all of the large
manufacturing establishments of the
city. The machines have a capability
of cutting nearly eighteen hundred gar
ments in a day Of twelve hours, or
about equal to the combined results Of
the labor of eight men. Buttonholes
also can be worked by machinery at
the rate of one hundred and eighty per
hour, while by hand it would take the
same period to complete three holes.
By the cutting machines folds of cloth
forty ply thickness can be easily cut
through. An instance of the value of
! machinery in expediting manufacture
| is afforded in the fact that the estab.
lishment where cutting and buttonhole
machines are used turns out one hun.
dred suits ready for wear in twelve
hours

The Captive Zulu King.

A reporter who accompanied Cete-
wayo on his voyage to Simon's Bay,
says: "ln the surf boat Cetewayo had
his first experience of sea sickness, and
if he wanted to be shot when caught by
Major Marter, it is certain that he
wished he were dead ten minutes after
embarking. All the dignity with which
Cetewayo had borne his captivity gave
way as he saw the sea and realized his
fate, while the antics of the whole party
in the surf boat are said to have been
ludicrous. Nothing could persuade
them to sit down quietly, and when
they moved they did so crawling on al
fours.
"Cetewayo was placed OH deck, in
asmuch as the builders of the Natal
never contemplated carrying passen-
ger who would require that four wives
should sleep in his cabin with him. In
the kraal His Majesty occupied a GEN.
trail mattress, and his four wives and
an intombi young girD had mattresses
around him. Everything in the way of
personal comfort that he asked for has
been given to him. During the voyage
of the Natal there was one rough night,
and the King had a very bad time of it,
but he generally kept up his spirits,
and conveyed in his cheerful moods his
impression of new sights. The first
morning when there was no land in
view, he, after looking around, held up
his hands in intense astonishment; but,
like all natives, he does not permit him.
self to appear to be much surprised at
anything. At home he was rather a
considerable beer drinker, but he thinks
our beer very inferior stuff, and palms

ready to do his share of the firewater'

He has rather a wild way of taking
to European food, and as a prelimir airy

face he put on, as his photograph will
show. proves that he is not altogether
unacquainted with the ways of the world.
When his wives were being photo
graphed nothing could induce them to
leave off giggling or to sit still until

American Enterprise.

Word comes to us from across the
water that w. G.. Wilson's visit to Eu-
rope was to make arrangements for the
manufacture of the new Wilson oscillat-
ing shuttle sewing machine in England
for the European market, and that the
well-known "Wellington Works." of
Oldham, near London, owned by a
stock company known as Bradbury &
Co. Qimited), for the manufacture ofthe
Singer, Howe, Wheeler & Wilson, and
Wellington sewing machines, since 1850,
have been secured for the manufacture
of the Wilson oscillating shuttle sewing
machines exclusively hereafter. An in
terview with Mr.. Sheldon, the General
Manager of the Wilson Sewing Machine
Company, ELECTED the fact that our in
formation is correct, and that this course
was absolutely necessary in consequence
of the incapacity of the company's
large works at Grand Crossing to turn
out sufficient number of Wilson sew
ing machines to supply the market
