In the controversy between the Baton
Rouge Capitoliuu and the New Orleans
Democrat our sympathies are entirely
with the Capitolian. For apart from the
fact that the Democrat has an arbitrary,
egotistic style in all discussions with
country journals. it is undoubtedly true
that the criticisms Of the Capitolian ~ to
the action of the State convention were
cminently just and proper That element
of the Democracy who happened TO con-
troll the convention are blameable for
their treatment Of Gov. Nichols. and we
can but admire the course Of the Capitolian
in alluding to this fact. There is far more
truth than poetry in the rcjoinder OF the
Capitolisu, and We spPrehend that the
people will, when made to know the
facts, administer the only rebuke proper
to those directly concerned in these abuses
which are repugnsnt TO the very essence

It really seems that discomfort
Attends us from our birth.

And take saOther's work.
We see man with busy brain,
A quick and ready nerve,
A-plodding in some dull routine
From which he'd gladly swerve.
And listless, quiet, easy men
Are seen ct active labor
That well would suit the stirring man,
Their quick and ready neighbor.

M Alexandra Dumas las published g
pamphlet under the title LES femmes

The ostensible subject of tue book is
series of injuries by vitriol which have
during the past years been perpetratec
III Paris by persons who have been ac-
quilted almost triumphantly by juries.
Three Of these cases occurred in four
weeks. That Of the Countess de lilly
excited the most attention. Ii any wo-
man ever had cause for vindictive act

and the mother OF a young family. che
endured for two years the greatest
wrong that could be pnt upon wife.
until her health gave way under the
strain. Her husband openly showed
bis satisfaction when she appeared to be
dying, and expressed regret that abe did
not speed her departure and leave him
free 70. marry the lanndress on whom
he had placed his affections. But the
Countess rallied. and. madden ed with
rage, she flung phisl of vitriel into
the face Of her rival, binding her. The
jury expressed tho utmost sympathy
Tor the Countess. aud Mr. Lachaud, the
great advocate, hrr counsel, said to her:
Madam. you leave the court not merely
acquitted. but ennobled.' Tho other
cases are of similar complexion. Nj
Dumas has entered the lists to defend
the women who kill and who want to

IMMIGRATION FIGURES.
The Rush from the Old World to the
New. and the Causes Assigned.
from the New York sum-

From the New York SUM-
The number of immigrants that ar
rived at this port in March of the pres
ent year was II ,65S, OF which 6. SOB were
from Germany, 4,007 from Ireland, g.
$50 from England, 2,1S3 from Sweden,
S86 from Italy, 814 from Switzerland,
775 from Scotland, 6S1 from Austria,
CTS from Hungary, and lesser numbers
from France, Norway, Denmark, Hol-
land, Poland and other countries. In
March, 1879, only 5,965 immigrants
arrived. The number that arrived in
March of the present year was greater
than in the corresponding month for
many years. The arrivals for the three
months ending on March 81, 1880, were
35, S25, against II, la for the correspond
ing period of this previous year; and for
the year ending March, 1880, the
arrivals were 1853, $50, against 80, 1888 for
the year ended on March 81, 1879.
The large increase iii the number of
persons coming to make their homes in
this country is attributed chiefly to two
causes: The "hard times over great
part of Europe, and the increase of
opportunities for obtaining employment
in the United States. Persons who have
come to this country are in communica-
ton with their friends III the countries
from which they came, and in that way
those at home are kept informed con-
corning the condition of affairs here, and
the hopes held out to those contemplate
ing emigration. With the exception of
some destitute Hungarian immigrants,
the condition of the families that have
arrived this year compares favorably
with that of immigrants in other years
Nearly all of them were bound for the
West, where they had been preceded by
one of their number acting as agent, and
nearly all had money after paying their
fares to their destination. The Irish
immigrants do not seem poorer In con-
sequence of the present condition of that
country, those who are severely affected
by the situation there being unable to
join the throng of emigrants. 1t is ex-
pected that the immigration from Ire
land, England and Scotland will increase
largely in the course of the present and
! few succeeding months, since the season
there for emigration commences after
Easter, and that the number of immi-
grants arriving will be almost beyond
parallel. AS rule their stay in New
York is brief. If they are landed before
4 o'clock in the afternoon they generally
begin their long journey by rail on the
same evening. They are hurried toward
their destination, on the principle that
the shorter their stay in New York the
better it will be for them and then
pockets.

Working Girls.

A physician, talking of the ill-health
of so many girls who pass their lives in
crowded factories and stores, says that
household service is the most healthful
of all employments for women. The
vocation of the nurse-girl is very health
full, in spite of its lifting. 1t gives a
variety of outdoor exercises and plenty
of sunshine, and then the companion
ship of bright, young, beautiful chill
dren is a health-giving influence. There
is need of intelligent, educated and SUI
perior women in this department of
labor, and it would be well all around if
many of our over-tasked and over
crowded women in the factories and the
trades would seek it. Bright, intelli-
gent girls could command good salaries
as cooks. This sort of work gives a
girl good food Of her cooking is bad it's
her own FAULT, variety of movement,
exercise of all parts of the body and,
generally, reasonable time for rest.
It's very different thing to walk about
kitchen or house from standing with
ones dead weight ON the feet all day, rs
the poor girls behind the counters have
to do And, after all, if domestics do
not rank quite as high as clerks Tin the
latter's opinion) better sacrifice pride
than health.

Chinese Immigration.

The President has transmitted to the
House of Representatives the report of
Secretary Evarts in relation to Chinese
immigration. Secretary Evarts says that
on April %, 1879, when the American
Minister was about to return to his mis-
sion in China, he was specially instruct
ed that, as the Chinese Ministers in this
country were understood not to have
been furnished with powers or instruc-
tons to treat in regard to questions
growing out of the presence of their peo-
pie in California, it would be necessary
to conduct the negotiations on the sub
ject in Picking. The character of the
Chinese movement toward our Pacific
coast, and the contract system under
which much of it was believed to be con-
tracted, was specifically called to his at
tention, and he was informed the Gov
eminent shared the apprehensions en-
tertained on the Pacific coast, that So
cial and political arrangements must re-
suit from the excessive increase of that
people. He was instructed to press
earnestly on the Chinese Government
the grounds of that apprehension, and
invite full and frank discussion as to
the proper course for negotiations to re-
lieve it; but, rs our own people resident
in China enjoy many important treaty
privileges and as it was desirable to work
out the results sought without disturb
ing the good feeling now existing be-
tween the two countries or impair OPP
portunities and prospects inuring to us
under existing treaties, he was directed
to ascertain with precision the DISPOSE
ton of the Chinese Government, and to
give assurances which would enable us
to proceed with such further negotia-
tons as might be deemed necessary

The Hartford Times, of Hartford, CT.
says of the Continental Life Insurance
Company, of that city:
1.-THE sixteenth annual statement of
the Continental Life is published in to-
days Times. Sixteen years of expe,:-
ence in life underwriting covers nearly

and may well entitle the company to
rank among the thoroughly established
companies Of the country.
1.-The Continental has in force 8. 1894
policies. They have issued and restored
during the years /, 253, relatively large
number, and, of course, accompanied by
a corresponding expense. The endow.
ments maturing and paid during the
year amounted to sos, 615. %; this pay
ment Is greatly in excess of any which
the company will hereafter be called upon
to meet In any one year tn existing pol
icies; this, with the other disbursemeu,
aggregating on account of poiicy-holclcrs
$612, 691.4S, accounts for the large dis

served that the company has received in

equal to nearly 6 per cent. on their gross

The Oldest Republic.

San Marine, the oldest and smallest
republic in the world, is situated in
Eastern Central Italy, and is governed
by Legislative Senate of 60 members,
elected for life; an Executive Council of
IL, two-thirds of whom go on. every
year, and two Presidents, elected for six
months. The territory of the republic
is twenty-five square miles in extsrt,
and embraces five small villages, with a
population in 1874 of 1916. The CAPT
tai, of the same name, is perched OF,
the crest of mountain 1885 feet
above the sea, and commands a splen-
did view of the Apprentices on ore side,
and at sunrise of the Dalmatiar coast,
across the Adriatic, on the other. 1t is
said to have been founded early in the
fourth century by st. Marinus con
verted stonemason, who fled from Rem
nj (thirteen miles north) during the
Diocletian persecution. There IL a
standing army of 131 officers and $40
men, and it has an annual revenue CT
about 800, O00 The principal products
are fruit, silkworms, and vine. This
little republic exists, of course. by the
sufferance of its powerful neighbors,
but owes much also to the good sense
and energy of its citizens, the most dis

Napoleon. There is history of the re-
