WEST VIRGINIA AND THE SWISS

As will no seen 10y reference to our
local columns this morning, the SWISS
/ gentlemen Who are on visit at inspection
to West Virginia did up this city
quite thoroughly yesterday.
They express themselves quite well
pleased with the country at urSt sight,
aud Of their cordial reception by the
Governor of the State and the citizens
generally.
la their address, on being receivedhy
| Governor MNrHEwS, they stated that
they we're not the direct agents Of their
government, as there was no law author
i1ing their homo authorities to act IN
the premises, but their government was
in full sympathy with their mission
and had furnished them with letters en-
dorSlug their plans aud purposes and
recommending them to the consldcra-
ton OF the authorities oi this state.
They come more especially in the IN
terest 81 a colonization society, aud
with the double purpose oi acqualntinS
themselves with the advantages offered
hy the State tor locating their country
men, aud OF pcrlcctlns arrangements Tor
exporting to Switzerland such products
III may he procured cheaper here than at
points in Europe.
The commission is, therefore, made
up Ut a scientific man, Us an expert IN
minerals, aud another IN agricultural
products, Nc., 50 that they may bo able
to investigate aud make an Intelligent
aud reliable report upon the natural IL
sources aud products of the State,
Their mission means business. They
will seek out the iron aud coal fields OF
the State, examine the timhrr, and IN
lulrc into the character and products OF
the soil, aud thus when they have OBJ
tanned data upon which to advise home
colonization societies, immigration will
at once bcgin: miners from Switzerland
will la sent To get out coal and ore;
mechanics to prepare timber Tor cXpor-
tatiOn. and farmers To clCav out and cut
tiyate new lands
One oi the commissioners informed
US that the average hrm land ia Swift
erland is worth about 500 per acre.
cur cheap land, which is Us good rs
sOme Of their best, can DO bought Tor
one-sixth Of that sum. Besides the
abundance OF coal, timber and ore,
makes 1t exceedingly attractive to them.
Their iellOw-cOuutrymeu now here, are
sending these home IN considerable
quantities already, and the interest in
our State is thereby increasing, aad will,
doubtless, draw large numbers to locate
among us.
During the month ot March there
were Sli immigrants from Switzerland
arrived in New York. Cur State will
secure a large proportion OF these,
and an increasing proportion OF

A letter received at Washington
from leading society lady at Saratoga
announced that the rumor is current
there that the marriage of Secretary
Schurz and Miss Irish daughter of the
Chief of the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing, and clerk in the Interior De-
partment, will positively take place
this fall. This same rumor circulated
several months ago, and was denied by
the lady and her friends, and also by
Secretary shurz, but this time 1t is put
down as certain. Dame rumor has been
particularly busy in coupling the
names Of Miss Irish and Secretary
Schurz in this respect for many months
and as regularly has the story been de-
MED, and although 1t is claimed now
that the story is based upon undenisble
information, q denial may not prove
surprising. The information from Sara
toga adds further that the marriage
will be privately solemRised, and to
avoid exciting any curiosity the lady
will not resign her position In the de-
partment until within few days Of
tie happy event. Miss Irish is lady
Of rare Intellectual ability, refined, and
an accomplished pianoist, and, with
her natural grace and many virtues, it
is not strange that she has wen the de-
votion OF so distinguished suitor.

Il
Tin October cold weather, with SNOW
storms," says Vennor, the man of
weather predictions. The cool weather
jf the last day or two has been wont to
make people regard this prophecy with
some degree Of respect. 1t causes the
realization to come that the era tf
jaunts to mountains and seaside is near
ly over, and only q few more are an
nounced in the REPUBLICAN,. Rvery-
body should therefore take advantage
of such trips, and should embrace all
opportunities for enjoying summer
pEstimes for the tickle queen is prepar-
ing to desert her throne at no distant
day.
The excursion season this year has
been an unusually good one and the
number of excursions which have left
the city has greatly exceeded that of
any former year. The delightful trips
down the bay by daylight or moonlight
or the runs by rail to the hilly country
to the north have been patronised as
never before. And the few trips which
are yet to be taken to Coney Island,
Bordentown, Cape May, Bombay Hook
and other points are likely to be well
attended.
But soon all this sort of thing will bs
over, together with other midsummer
sports snd pastimes as we'll. The
happy father who regularly took all
the family over to Pennsgrovs every
Sunday and spent the time pleasantly
in carrying the children around in the
sun and amusing his tired wife at the
same time, will soon have 10 spend the
day of rest at home. The man, who,
day in ana day out, has been sitting
along the Brandywine, sweltering in the
sun, holding long rod for ten hours,
and violently swearing because the fish
didn't bite, will soon have to give up
the fascinating sport, and be content
with telling people how he caught the
bass as fast as he could "pull out and
throw in." Base ball must also pres
emily take rear seat and the muscular
lad with & broken nose and swelled
hugers, will have his place filed by the
enthusiastic and happy youth on skates
who glides over the ice with his heels
up in the air and his head cutting
star on the crystal surface. These and
scores Of other interesting summertime
sports will soon give way to others
equally engaging when the COOLER
weather comes.
