The Commissioners OF Immigration in
New York report continually increased
demand for labor--a demand that comes
from almost every section of the country.
Work has been unusually plentiful in the
States of Kansas, Texas and South Carroll.
ia, and laborers unusually scarce. Dur
ing the month OF July alone the Commits.
tioners sent nearly seven thousand immi
grants into these three States, and from
nearly all OF them come reports that they
are hard at work, and well pleased will
their situations. Good hands nre paid SIS
TO $50 per month for their assistance on
farms, and many are making $l.50 and
S20Oper day Tor their services on railroads
and in mines.

THE PRESIDENT.

The life OF President Garfield is still
trembling In the balance, with the news
this week more favorable than at the close
Of last week. The attending physicians
virtually gave him up on last Saturday,
but Mrs. Garfield would not relinquiSh
her hope and told he'physiciuns to go
back TO their post and do what they could,
which was all that could be asked OF them
They are rewarded with renewed hope
which, during the pnst day or two, is
Strengthening into feeling Of confidence.
Let us continue to hope while there is life,
and rs long as the President himself con-
tmues to struggle against the sixty-ninc
chances in favor Of death and clings to
the one chnnce for recovery. He has now
struggled through sixty.two days and OF
the worst season of the year.

Anew Life-Saying Invention.

A new lite-saving appliance has
been recently invented by Mr.. Sher-
we'll, of Portsmouth, England,
which may prove of widespread
utility. The invention is designed to
serve the double object of a bell buoy
indicating the presence of a danger.
GUS shoal, ard refuge for ship
wrecked mariners to swim to when
it would be impossible tor lifeb oat
TO reach them. 1t is represented as
hat-boLtomed, bell-nounted vessel,
on which is erected an octagonal
dome capable of accommodating a
ships crew, access to which is gain
ed by means of ladders fitted to the
gunwale. Mr.. Sherwell is the maker
of several buoys, and his new inven-
tion has been highly approved by the
xepert aud naval authorities to
who it was submitted. AS such a
contrivance can be moored at well
known and the most dangerous
shoals were many vessels have fOun-
dred and many more may be expect
ed to founder, Its simplicity, access
sibillty to drowning seamen and Its
effectiveness as warning will COM
mend it for use on other besides the
English coasts. The new beacon
buoy is intended to be moOred in {
number of select places, and might
be introduced with great benefit OF
our Jersey shoals, which have evel
been so disastrous to mariners.
