OUR NEW YORK LETTER.

On Monday last the Farming and Manu-
iacturing Association had meeting in
Science Hall. Addresses, setting forth
the object Of the society, were made by
Mr. Sharp, president Of the association,
and DR.. Thesis. 1t is proposed to found
colony in southwestern Missouri, where
900 acres have been selected. It is to be
called "Eglinton," in honor of its first
settler. The land is well timbered, and
contains plenty of water and a lead and
zinc mine. The payment OF 800 entities
a member to home and supplies until he
can support himself If he is married no
extra payment is necessary unless he has
a large family. The colony will be gov
erned by a president and a council, to
which every member may appeal. The
president and council are elected perman-
emily, but can be removed for inefficiency
or misconduct. Good character is re
quisite for membership, and no i llers will
/ be tolerated.
The society is organized to carry on the
business OF agriculture, trading and manu-
featuring, and the members are expected
to produce and make everything needed
| for their persor"l comfort Every mem
Der will be required to labor eight hours
a day, the payment for which will be in
| bonds called labor notes. These notes
will be received as money by the associa-
tion; hence il is desired that the men,
bers shall be wOrkmen. No discrimlna-
ton in favor of women will be made
everyone will enjoy the same privileges
and will be entitled to a voice in the
government. The same wages will be
paid TO women and men for equally
good work. As more luxuries and com
forts are obtained the admission fee
will be raised. When the association be-
comes selfsupporting this money will be
\ placed to the credit Of each member with
accrued interest at per cent.
By the more detailed census returns
given this week, it appears that 47S,000
persons born in foreign countries are resi-.
dents of this city, while 72S,000 OF the in
habitants are natives. Two-fifths OF our
people are, therefore. foreigners by birth.
1t should be remembered, in considering
these proportions, that we have a very
large foreign population that does not vote
made up of agents, partners and clerks
who merely represent here foreign busi-
ness houses.
There are no less than fourteen men and
two women in the Tombs Prison awaiting
trial for the crime of murder. These of.
fences were all committed since last May
a period Of only six months, and they EN-.
brace every possible method of inflicting
death With so large a number of ac
cused murderers in prison, the reflection
is forced upon us that if the wheels OF
F justice revolved little more quickly, they
might prevent many crime yet to be re
corded.
The Ladies Blushing Bonnet" is new
Partisan device. To the side ribbons
which go under the chin are attached two
tiny, but powerful, steel springs ending in
/ round pads, which are brought to beaI
upon the temporal arteries by the action
, of bowling the head, and by artifcially
forcing blood into the cheeks, causing
them to be suffused with crimson at q
moments notice.
