SEMINARY PICNTC.--The scholars
of Berkeley FsMaIs Seminary, ac-

spent Tuesday last at Island Park,
Harper's Ferry. They had delight
full weather and delightful time.
1t was a day of recreation after
months of toll on the part of teach
ers, and of labor on the part of the
young misses and children the one
in imparting and the others in the
effort to obtain knowledge. 1t was
a day in which discipline and re-
straint were left at the study and
recitation rooms, and right we'll did
all enjoy the privilege. The Park,
surrounded with so much natural
beauty, the rugged, towering heights
that surround it, its beautiful, natu-
raj and growing grove, the murmur-
ing of the historic Potomac passing
ever on and on, the handsome build
ings, &C., makes it a desirable place
for a reverie or a frolic. From the
number who participated, the cul-
tured instructors of this institution
for the education of young ladies,
are well supplied with patrons and
friends.

Foreign Labor.

ED. TRANSCRIPT Being in Phila-
delphia few days since, called on
the several immigration societies with
the view of getting foreign labor here.
The English, Scotch and Protestant
Irish cannot be got without having
some one in their country to send them
forward, and then with some risk for
enticing them to leave. The German
agent seemed not disposed to send any
immigrants to Delaware, as he said he
had sent some who had been badly
treated by the farmers, and the society
was obliged to take them away at
good deal Of expense. However, after
much conversation and reference, he
said he would send them to me, or to
my direction, if 1 assured him they
would be properly cared for. Ipropose
that the farmers arrange to have their
tenant houses vacated as soon as they
can, and get German families in them

PpEs1DENT ARTHUR dose not en-
ioy the fullest confidence Of the people
to the head Of whose government he
has been called. His past record is not
that of the pure statesman and his
course at Albany during the recent
bitter factional fight there was not be-
coming the dignity Of the Vice Presi-
dent of the United States. His
course did not command the respect OF
the country, and when the President
was struck down by the bullet OF the
assassin, there was loud and Sullen
denunciation of this man who had
stopped from his high position to
manipulate the machinery Of a political
faction that was antagonistic to the
policy of the President. Had Garfield
died on that dread second of July, OF
within a few days thereafter, President
Arthur would have found the temper
of the people very different from what
it was when he was called to assume
the Office Of President by reason of the
death of James A. Garfield. The
months of suffering which the Presi
dent was compelled to endure cooled
the passions Of his people. The hon
orable and modest course of the Vice
President during those months O
alternate hope and despair gained him
in a measure, the respect of the people
which he had well nigh lost. The!
have come to think that, perhaps
after all, he is able to rise above him
self and carry out the policy of hi
predecessor policy clearly marked
out for him and one from which hi
cannot well deviate without calling
down upon his head the condemnation
of his country. He has but to rist
above party, above faction, and, in
political sense, above his friends, :
to gain in measure, the appreciation
respect and universal esteem thai
marked the short administration o.
James A. Garfield.
