The Reception and Care of Immigrants
New York.

AS there are many times more immigrants
arriving in New York city in the course of a
year than at any other port in the world, it is
satisfactory to know that the arrangements
in force there for receiving them are more
complete than at any other place. At Castle
Garden there is a well-arranged system by
which the mishaps which would commonly
fall to the lot Of poor and ignorant persons
landing in strange country are pretty fairly
overcome. When passenger steamer ar
rives in New York the steerage passengers are
carried AS quickly as possible TO Castle Gar
den, the great circular building near the Bat
terry. Into this they enter by four gangways.
Here at the entrance, the newcomers are
obliged to give their names, the number of
their families, their occupation and their des-
tinaton. Although these questions nre suii-
ciently simple, it is often exceedingly hard
work to get them correctly answered, even
though the registrars carry on their inquir-
les in the language Of the immigrant After
passing through this ordeal, the new arrival
has to go to the general clerk of the railroads,
if he intends going West, and he is here sup
piled with the tickets to take the place of his
through orders purchased in Europe, and is
also told the time at which his train will leave,
and has his name entered upon the list of pas
sengers. II he wishes to change his foreign
money for American notes or gold there is an
exchange office handy in the garden, with the
rates of exchange between all of the countries
of tho world boldly placarded in a dozen
different languages. His money is exchanged
and he is given a guarantee, in brief, that
the amount paid to him is correct. At about
q in the afternoon the emigrant trains on the
roads usually leave, and care is taken TO see
that every passenger whose name has been
taken down by the railroad clerk gets on
board the train. If the immigrant intends to
stay in the city or its vicinity, an opportunity
is afforded him or her of notifying friends or
relatives. 1t is easy TO see that in this thor
ough arrangement great deal of rascality is
avoided The immigrants get as much for
their money as they would if they were ex-
changing thousands of dollars, which they
would certainly fail to do if they were obliged
to go to small brokers' shops. But the mon
ey consideration is by no means the greatest
one. Fancy what the fate would be of many
young women landing without friends or
relatives on foreign shore and, in many in
stances, having no knowledge of the English
language. Even with the safeguards of Cas-
tie Garden there have been cases of mysteri-
GUS disappearance but no one needs to be
told that these would be far more frequent if
it were not for the systematic watchfulness of
those who carry on this great institution -

Twas Just behind the woodshed,
One glorious summer day,
Far DER the hills the sinking sun
Pursued its westward way,
And in my lone secluGlon,
Safely removed afar
From all Of earths confusion,
smoked my hrst cigar.
All, bright the bOyish fancies
Wrapped in the wreAths OF blue;
My eyes grew dim, my head was light,
The Woodshed round me heW.
Dark night closed in around me,
Rayless, without a star;
Grim death, thought, had found me,
And spoiled my first cigar.
All, pallid was my noble brow,
The waning night was late,

My child, what have you ate

Miscellany.


Autumn.
The dying leaves fall fast,
Chestnut, willow, oak and beech
All brown and withered lie.
Now swirling in the cutting blast,
Now sodden under foot-they teach
That one and all must die.
This autumn Of the year
Comes sadly home to my poor heart,
Whose youthful hopes are fed.
The dArkening days are dreAr,
Each love once mine I see depart
As withered leaves aud dead.
But is il all decay7
All present loss mo gain remote7
Monotony Of paint
All mol hear a lay
The robin sings-how sweet the note,
A pure unearthly strain.
And Of all flowers the FIRST
Beneath these leaves In spring shall blow,
Sweet yiolets blue and white;
So all lost loves shall burst
In springlike beauty, summer glow,
In Heaven upon our sight.

sumption, without reference TO its pres
ervation or reproduction to meet tho
wants of coming generations the gov
eminent can do but little beyond Sc
curing its economical use. This can
not be efficiently done through any
agencies at the disposal Of the depart
ment. The army itself, devoted to the
sole duty, could not do it. Nor can
compensation through "stumpage, or
any such device, be had, nor penalties
enforced, since courts, juries, attorneys
witnesses, are involved in the spolia-
ton, and the government continues to
pay for fuel stolen from it's own lands
for the warming Of it's public offices,
shops, and barracks.
The ownership Of timbered lands
should be transferred from the govern
ment to the people most interested in
their use and preservation, under a
system which will provide for inspec-
ton and valuation, for their sale at
entry or auction at or above minimum
prices carefully adjusted, for cash, in
suitable quantities, with safeguards
against combinations and monopolies,
having in view their distribution
among as great q number of proprie
tors as possible. In this way the gov
eminent disposes of lands for their
value which are fast becoming worth
less. The land owners will consume
with closer economy, and will be COM
PEELED by self interest to prevent, or
speedily extinguish, the consuming
fires, to the ravages of which they
seem now Indifferent, and which are
beyond the reach of the government,
for the value is in the timber, not in
the land that cannot be sold when
stripped Of it's living growth.

Business Failures During 1870.


New YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Financial
ChroaicIe of to-day, referring to Dun &
Barlow's exhibit of business failures during
the past year, says that fully half came
within the first quarter Of 1879 1t also
shows that the only city in the United
States separately reported upon where there
has not been decided decrease in failures
during 1879, is San Francisco Boston
shows 10 failures during the year, against
325 in 1878; New York, $40 against 1858;
Philadelphia lS9 against 257; Cincinnati,
"a against PIG; Chicago, IS against 1862;
st. Louis, So against l67; San Francisco,
22l against 222. The statement also shows
that in the six cities first named, the la
bilities amounted to only one quarter of the
previous years total, while in San Francis.
co the liabilities were increased last wear
about l6 per cent, being $5,3l7,ll9. An.
other table shows that while in all the re-
mainder of the country only one in every
ITO in business failed, there was in Calfor.
MIA 1--WE have not the figures to give San
Francisco by itselfl one failure in every 36
in business, and in the Pacific STATE and
territories which depend largely upon Cali

every 81 in business.

Sank, and like them shows signs of
gold. About ten miles above the
mouth of the Cascade is the portage,
a huge rapid full of immense boulders
and barely passable to canoes. Here
the men disembark and carry their ton
mage about five hundred yards over a
fair trail. The Indians either carry
the canoes round the portage or bring
them over the rapids by means of
ropes. From the portage to my place
distance of eight miles, there is no
serious obstruction to canoe navigation,
but great care must be exercised, as
the river is full of suck holes The
country above the portage is bleak,
heavy mountainous one. High hills
spring one above the other thousands
of feet into the air, and catching the
eternal SHOWS render their sides and
passes impregnable to all. Avalanches
are numerous, and cratcrs of extinct
volcanoes that in these peaceful times
emit neither smoke nor steam, stand
on all sides. My place is then reached
and the miner finds himself in the
''bad land" of the Indians. A rough,
unbroken, dismal solitude--in fact,
said Mr.. Goodell with great enthu-
siasm, hell of country. Fifteen or
twenty miles above my place the Ruby
flows into the Skagit. Here the dig
gings commence. They extend up the
Ruby to les forks, distance of forty
miles. No gold was struck on this
creek until about the middle of Sep
TENDER. Only one claim was opened
and operated last season, that one be-
ing the NIP and Tuck" Though OPP
Grated but a few days it yielded its
owners over twelve hundred dollars in
coarse gold dust. The creek from its
it's mouth to its source prospects in
gold fully as we'll as the Nip and Tuck,
anlthis is what has made all old min
ers who have visited The ska2it de-
lighted and enthu iastic over it's flu
ture.
The circumstances that led 10 the
discovery of the mines, said Mr..
Pierce, are about as follows: Jack
Rowly, an old miner, who formerly
lived at the Dalles, got the idea into
his head that as gold had been found
on the Baker bars it would do well to
prospect further up the skasit. Every
bar yielded gold, and after drifting
about for four years on the different
tributaries Of The main river, he struck
the mouth of Ruby creek in rs and
found signs Of gold which he consid.
cred rich. Before thorough test
could be given he was compelled to
return to civilization ON account Of
lack of provisions IIe went back,
however, in the Fall; followed the
Ruby, and about four miles above its
mouth found $40 in coarse gold in a
single bedrock. He returned to the
settlements and showed this gold,
which caused The excitement of 70
