BIG CUT IN EMIGRANT RATES.

New York. Jan, 2L-The cutting Of rates, begun
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company several
weeks ago, in order to control the immigrant pes
senger traffic through Castle Garden has assumed
new feature, The first reduction made was 20
per cent. Subsequently reduction Of S5 per
cent was made, and To day the ticket agents or
"brokers" in Castle Garden were authorized to
sell tickets over the Pennsylvania road to com
peting points at 40 per cent, below the schedule
rates for third class passengers who buy their
tickets at Castle Garden,
This reduction does not apply to the outside
Offices, but 1t ls said that other people thar immi
grants are getting the benefit 1t Is asserted that
'scelpers" visit Castle Garden upon the arrival
Of immigrants and employ them to purchase
tickets beyond Pittsburg-where local rates end
and then take them to outside Offices, where they
sell them at rates below the schedule and make
fair profits

ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES AN
OTHER.

Mr.. Blaine and General Garfield are old com.
radeS. When Mr.. Blaine reappointed the Credit
MObilier Congressman to be Chairman Of the
principal committee Of the House, Gen. Garfield
regarded that act Of the Speaker, who was him,
self more than suspected as "vindication," and
with a profound sense of relief, exclaimed
THANK God, we are saved"
1t would be interesting to know what was Mr..
Baines exclamation when he received General
Garhed's offer Of the State Department and with
1t notice that the treaty Of Mentor was intended
to cheat the Imperialists, and not him.
1t may be taken for granted that so long as
Blaine and Garfield get along in this comfortable
fashion, things will be made rather uncOmforta.

"The privilege of being young man
is n great privilege, and the privilege of
growing up to be an independent man in
middle life is greater.
Whatever you win in life you must
conquer by your own efforts, and then
it is yours, part of yourself.

"If there be one thing upon this

"The student should study himself,
his relation to society, to nature, and to
art, and, above all, in all, and through
all these, he should study the relations
of himself, society, nature and art to
God, the author of them all.

The irish and fine EnrIish.

"There are forces" as George Sand
says truly and beautifully, "there are
forces of weakness, of docility, of attract
iveness and of suavity, which are quite
as real as the forces of vigor, of en-
croachment, of violence or of brutality.
And to those softer but not less real
forces the Irish people are peculiarly
sensible. They are full of sentiment,
they have by nature excellent manners
themselves, and they feel the charm
of manners instinctively. Courtesy"
says Vauvenargues, "is the bond of all
society, and there is no society which
can last without it. " If courtesy is re-
quired to cement society, no wonder the
Irish are estranged from us. For we
must remember who it is of us that they
mostly see, who and what it is that in
the main represent our civilization to
them. English civilization
means to the Irish the civilization of our
middle class, and few indeed are the at
fractions which to them, with their
quickness, sentiment, fine manners and
indisposition to be pleased with things
English, that civilization seems to have.
They do not see the exceptions In our
middle class they do not see the good
which is present even in the mistrained
mass of it All its members seem of one
type of civilization to an Irish eye, and
that type a repulsive one.-Motthet0
