FINALLY GOT HIM.

A sewing girl in Springfield. Mass, has
had romantic experience which is worth
the telling Several months ago man at
Dubuque, Iowa, advertised for wife.
Among a swarm of answers which he
received were two from two girls IN that
city, who replied just for the fun OF the
thing. One of them represented herself as
a Young widow and her lively account OF
herself and her circumstances was very
largely fictitious, especially that which told
(verv incidentally, as if it was OF no con
sequence) of the snug sum OF money lett
her by the dear departed. She never eX
pected to hear Of the matter again, but
that was the one letter out OF all the az
vertiser received which struck his fancy
He wrote to the supposed widow (who
in fact had never been married
and who was then earning her
living with her needle); photo
graphs were exchanged; the letters
grew more and more affectionate, until the
Young woman, realizing that the affair
was no longer a Joke, wrote to her new
found adTjrer and told him frankly of hel
humble circumstances.
OF course he admired her all the more,
and at last he came from Dubuque to TINS
CITY to claim her for his bride. Instead OF
the sleek and intelligentlooking and man
" individual whom she had expected iron
his letter and his photograph what was
her vexation to see a person OF decidedly
seedy appearance, wearing an old sloncf
hat, and appearing altogether unattractlve
Well. she refused him, and he Gliding hel
bitterly for so doing after all the pains h
had taken to win her, returned alone tt
Iowa. / suppose he hadn't left the house
before she was sorry-such is the flexible
| character of female affection-and it il
certainly true that she was very sorry, IN
deed. before he had put thousand mile
| between them He wrote no more, bu
the distressed young woman wrote, or so
| friends to write, to the pastor OF tie chllfci
he attended and to various persons in Du
buoue, to find out what sort of man thi
was--something she ought to have though
of in the first place The replies were uni
formly complimentary, and every one IN
creased her regret that she, a poor SEWN;
| girl had refused a good match.
Never a word came from him, and a
last she swallowed her pride, reopened tn
correspondence herself, and told him HOY
she had nisiudoed him, and how sorry sh
was that she had. Promptly came mani
reply. from which she discovered that whe
he visited her here, he had INTENTIONAL
made himself as unattractive as possible
from a romantic notion that she ought t
take him for what he was, and not TO
what he wore. OF course they were MAJ
ried, and the poor sewing-girl has for be
husband one of the leading citizens of Dt
Ibuoue. and for her home one OF the fines
mansions in Dubuque. This true stor
ought to have a moral of a negative sort
namely, that young girls are not TO 1h1e

THE rapid increase in foreign popula-
ton. with all that brings in mind and
morals. is greater than is taken in by the
hasty reader, and to the thoughtful is
very suggestive. During the month Of
May the number was III 482. Since the
1st of last June we have received for
eign population large enough to make
first-class city or an entire Western State.
This vast influx of new material, says the
Tribune, has been absorbed without any
appreciable effect upon the labor market
or upon the general conditions of our So
cial life. Nothing could more strikingly
show the great prosperity of the United
States. 1t is to be hoped, however, that
the remarkable movement of large masses
of foreigners to our shores will slacken
before long. We can healthfully assimi-
late one or two hundred thousand stran-
gers annually, but when oyer half mil
lion come we may reasonably feel some
apprehension of the effect which may be
produced upon our public and private
life We want to keep what is best in the
American character for the great nation
of the future which we are building up,
and do not want it swamped or badly di-
luted by too heavy an overflow from
abroad.

II seemed not enough that Conkling
should shake up the National Centre and
hold the Empire State in wrangle for
weeks. but the would-be-chiefs of the
same party in the Diamond State must
surprise the people by a cOntre-temps.
The Republican Executive Committee of
Wilmington by its split into factions and
by renewing the strife and bad blood
which had such disreputable exhibition
in the Dover Convention year ago looks
as if it deliberately meditated a teto-de-se.
When party-and that minority one
gets into warning factions over morsel OF
patronage, it looks as if the cohesive
power of principle was rather secondary
than primary. The mass of the party
however, we believe. have no interest In,
but rather deplore the contest. The
supremacy of the Bird faction means the
Ousting of the Federal officers i'll Will
mington. while the ascendancy of the
Higgins wing means the retention of those
officers. They have their following in the
two lower counties, and hence disturb the
State. The people have the remedy in
their hands, viz: by bringing men with
more patriotic motives to the front.

This society is only six months old and is
composed of the young men of the Acade-
my, but during that time it has made
rapid advancement. Several weeks ago
it challenged the Phi Rho Sigma society
of this town for joint debate, in which it
was unsuccessful. 81
The proposals for the erection of water
works in this town were opened on last
Monday evening, and on account ofeex-
eeeding the amount for which the town is
allowed to go, (20,000) were all rejected,
the lowest bid being $24, 900. The Town
Council are determined to have water
works of some kind and have instructed
the Water Committee to open correspond
ence with q competent engineer with a
view of having proper survey of the
town made, and see if water works cannot
be erected for 10000.

WHY THEY COME.-The immense emf
grafton from Europe, almost as much in a
month as the whole population of Della
ware, is attracting no little attention and
with some feelings of alarm because with
it comes much of the worst population of
the old countries. The Philadelphia EUe1t-
ing Ne,cs in noticing the fact that Europe
has 145 inhabitants to the square mile
while we have 16l, and debt averaging
$74.60 to each person while ours in 1865

population while ours is one in every 1000,
says
There are two phases to this question
What will the effect be on Europe, and
what on this country? Sooner or later it
must produce crisis in Europe. 1t is a
mathematical certainty that nations can
not increase Indebtedness forever. The
time will ultimately come when the limit
will be reached. In most cases it is very
nearly reached nov. Yet the debt pro-
ducing caU-t- ..ntinuc in full force.
These are-mOnarchies. There is no other
assignable reason for the vast standing
armies in Europe, which limit the pro-
ducipg capacities of nations and absorb
the results of the industry of those who
do labor than the jealous fears of royal
rulers. The race antagOnisms, which pro-
duced wars when strong, virile races were

But mOnarchs must keep them up to re.
tain power. But the time is near when
the whole system will break down by its
own weight. What will then happen
Republics must, of necessity, take the
place of monarchies and armies mel
away. War will be abandoned because
nations viii learn that they cannot afforC
1T Then of necessity the worlds popula
rion will be more evenly distributed, be
cause there will be more in the great cen

Hence Europe will be thinned and th'
United States filed up with population

densely, we would have 100000 600
nine times what we now have. OF couFs
there is no danger that this immense pop
ulation will be concentrated here. Eu
rope could probably support 100000 900
and as the crash will not come for years
we will gain slowly by immigration.
