The number Of passengers arriving at New
York from abroad for 1878 was 121 ,369 OF
whom 75,947 were foreigners. The increase
over 1877 was 2o,sll. The most interesting
fact IN connection with these figures Is this !:
That 80, 653 OF these went to the Western and
Northwestern States direct. The sales OF
farming lands in the West to these immi-
grants have rarely been as heavy as In 1878,
aud the immigration and settlement In the
West In 1879 is expected to be even larger
than In 1878,

OF sll the animate things that God has

whether q hero should be portrayed on horse

The Chicago Times mentions that one Oh
the most remarkable peculiarities Of the sit
uatton Id freights this season has been the
heavy shipments Of grain and other freight
by the railroads at times that vessels could
hardly get cargoes at all. So lively has been
the competition between the land and water
routes that rates have ruled surprisingly
low. and vessels have remained In port for
weeks without obtaining eargoes.

The Chicago Times gives the particulars Of
the most remarkable case which has come be-
fore the courts Of that city for years. It was
that CT man who had been for several years
employed as book. keeper for a mercantile
firm in tae city, and who plundered his en-
ployers 80 ingeniously and persistently that
they were compelled to retire from business
without suspicion of the nature of their
losses. the thieving clerk buying from then
with their own money what he had not already
stolen. The chance discovery OF an error IN
the books completely broke the courage o. the
culprIt, and he voluntarily confessed, was I'M
