Immisration-.-Let Farmers Come
Along.

It's estimated that from four to six thou
sand immigrants are arriving per week in
Texas. They are coming by rail, by wagon
and by sea. There is ample room for mil
lions upon millions more people than we now
number Texas is amply able TO support at
least half IL not the entire present popula-
ton of the United States, 1t would not be
we'll, however, to have so many just yet.
The class most wanted, aud the class who
are cert in to succeed, are industrious farm
era, men Injured TO work, used to the plow,
not ashamed 10 be- seenin the fields, and who,
in the absence Of hired help, will throw OF
their coats and pitch 10 themselves, and in
the presence of farm laborers viii lead them;
will spend their time at home looking after
business, instead of around courlhouses look
ing for jury work, or grog.sbops for free

B ooklyn Esgle.l
A day or two ago Assistant District
Attorney John Oakley called the Eagle
representative into his Office and fish
ing out an old account book from the
lower draw of his desk and turning
over the leaves, pointed to a page on
which was an account with George w.
De Long, and his receipt for weekly
payments. There" said Our john"
that was in 1861. At that time
George wv. De Long was in my
law office, in New York, at a. salary Of
So per week He was a bright, smart
boy, and | took great liking to him He
was crazy to enter the navy and | saw
the boys taste was very strong in that
direction. He attended the public
school in Greenwich street, and his
teacher gave a most excellent account
of his studious character and bright
scholarship. About that time Ben
Wood was in Congress and appointed
some lad to the Naval Academy. |
went to Mr.. Wood and obtained from
him a promise that if he had the
chance to make another appointment
he would give it " me. Wood was a
friend Of mine. but when he made the
promise he had no idea that he would
have the chance TO redeem it.
A few months after DeLong
came into my Office one
day in great excitement, and said the
young mar Mr.. Wood bad appointed
had been obliged to leave the Naval
Academy because his eyes had given
out, and another appointment would
have to be made. He begged me to
see Wood at once. | went to Mr..
Wood and recalled the promise. He
remembered it, and, what was still
better, redeemed it, although there
was a great pressure brought to bear
on him to appoint some one else. But
he gave the appointment to belong,
who went TO Newport-whither the
Naval Academy had been removed
from Baltimore, because Of the war
and passed with credit; but word came
from Washington MOTTO admit Woods
appointee. He had made the appoint
ment a day or so too late, and as he
was not in accord with the admins.
trs3iOn, they took advantage of the
technical mistake. De Long cane
back from Newport the picture of
despair, but | hurried him to Wash-
ington with letters Of introduction TO
various persons, and he came back
with the appointment, the happiest
young fellow you ever saw. He en-
tered the Naval Academy and passed
with credit, and afterward served on
various naval stations. His subse-
quent history We all Of course know.
The little / did for the boy was done
because / saw the young fellow had
the right sort Of stuff 10 him, and
would amount to something, and the
result shows | was not far ous Of
the way in my estimate Of the lad"

appears that the new British Minister,
now considerably past middle life,
when a young attache Of the British
Legation at Madrid, formed an
attachment TO q very estimable
Spanish lady not in the
knighted circle, or Of the high
family to which the young English
Lord belonged, and married her. he
lived with her happily for years, and
had children by her. Ho always rec
ognized her as his vito, although his
marriage was not recorded in the
British Court journals. Many years
ago his wife died. He has never mar
ried since, and he brings his children
to America with him. That is all
there is In the story which has made
the millionaire British Lord a bache-
Tor, and the father Of children whom
he is seeking to introduce to American
society. The new British Minister
has been for many years a widower,
and his eldest daughter is to preside
at the British Embassy here. 1t is
learned from diplomatic circles that
the new Minister ia very much shocked
at this extraordinary aud cruel intro
duction to American society. Those
in position to know say that, whatever
social irregularities the Russian EN-
pire may tolerate in its ambassadors,
Great Britain never commissions a
man to high Office whose social record

Nashville World
One of the reasons given BY the
Supreme Court for advancing the 100
3 case on the docket, was that the
money that is being collected fromthe
taxpayers Of the State, and which will
amount to immense sums, will be left
in the hands of public officers, with
oat any security for an indefinite
length Of time. With this view of the
matter the court, when it comes to
take final action on the case. will
linger long before they declare a law
constitutional which protects every
interest at stake except the interest of.
the State. The law which created
the Funding Board is so care
lessly constructed as to allow any
two members Of the Board to
issue as many bonds as they choose
and put them in tho market
for sale. These bonds may be issued
precisely like all the rest, they may 60
into the hands Of innocent purchasers,
and though they are ffaudulently
issued, there will be no way on earth
to prove it, and the State will be
legally bound to pay the money A
Court that is so careful to protect the
interest Of the State as regards the
revenue collected, by advancing the
case, may be relied upon TO also pro
tect the interests Of the State in set
thing a law which leaves open the gate
nay for the preparation OF frauds
upon the State that cannot be detected.
The present Board may be wei so
honest, but we submit that there
are no officers in the State
where the official is compelled to
handle public or private money,
and is not required to give, bond and
security for the faithful performance
of this work. If the State is so care
full to protect herself and her citiztns
in the smallest matters, why should
this law have been so framed as to al
low that a Funding Board. fit choose
to do it, may issue bonds that will be
valid and binding although fraudulent
ly issued. We believe the court will
give especial attention to this feature
OF the law. 1t certainly leaves open
the way for trouble in the future that
we know rot of at this time. We take
it that the men who compose the pres
ent board are as honest IS any, but
that is not the question. Ought not
the law to have been so framed
as to protect the interest Of
the State and put the issuance Of
fraudulent bonds beyond the power of
any o~ficial2 The bad odor which
surrounded the Brownlow bonds has

dice against the public debt by a
method which leaves all the interests
| of the State unprotected and depend
ent upon the honor and integrity Of
the men who compose the Board. The
present members Of that Board, some
ofthem may die, and others be put in
their places, and none can tell the
trouble which may come from a Law
which 50 lily guards the interests Of
the State. We repeat that the Su
preme Court will examine well into
this question before it reaches a final
decision.

a PHASE OF SOCIAL LIFE.
Christmas Egg-NOg and How IL
Got the BetteF Of a RE-
sPected Girl.

Special 10 the CouriSr.Journal.
WASHINGTON, December GA
rather unusual arrest for drunkenness
was made last evening by the officers
Of the Fifth Precinct. A young and
attractive girl about eighteen years Of.
ago. dressed in quiet, but elegant style,
was discovered in the early hours Of
the evening in the Smithsonian
grounds surrounded by a gang Of.
roughs. They had found her in the
streets under the influence Of liquor
and had decoyed her to a lonely spot
to rob her of her ofjewelry which she
wore in ~profusion, and perhaps
with other designs. They
were interrupted by the arrival OF the
officers, and took to their heels. The
young lady was taken in charge and
conveyed to the station. 1t Mas found
that she was no common character,
and her face, Of moro than ordinary
beauty, showed no traces Of a fast life.
The handsome, fur lined circular
which she wore was stained with the
mud Of the streets where she had
fallen during her staggering progress ;
a costly hat Of the latest design was
crushed and battered beyond recog-
milton. Her dress, which was Of a
lovely shade Of Empress cloth, and her
we'll selected iewelry and other details
other toilet evinced a refined and we'll
bred taste. From what could be gath
cred from her incoherent and dis
jointed talk it was evident that she
was a person eff education and accus-
toned to good society. When she
realized her situation she began to cry
bitterly and called for her mother. 1t
was a~scertained that she had left her
home in the upper part Of the city
1.-THE west end early in the day to make
a call at the house of a friend.
While there she lunched and partook
rather freely Of Christmas egg-nog;
the liquor did not begin to have its
full effect uhtil she started for her
home early in the evening. She stag
gered along the streets, and while in
this condition aud almost unconscious,
she fell into the hands Of the roughs,
with the results above mentioned.
Her parents in the elegant home were
ignorant Of the terrible fate which had
beiallen their loved daughter. This
incident is a striking illustration of
phases OF social life in the city.

Now YORK sunl

New York sunl
Abeokuta,a pretty large giant from
Dahomey, was shipped TO this country
without any marked difficulty by tho
steamship Samaritan, and no sat in
state yesterday, seemingly much
against his wishes, in a big wooden
chair 10 a Bowery museum. He is a
snuff colored giant, with a gentle and
retiring disposition, and pair of in
ordinate legs. Unlike Captain Gosh
en-, the Colossus from Palestine, who,
by reason of great mental power and
long practice, has the New Jersey i'd
iom down toa fine point.the giant from
Dahomey caunot speak English. IN
like Captain Goshen, too, the Dahomey
giant is not much for thickness; but
of his remarkable duotile properties
nature took the fullest advantage, and
among men he may we'll inspire the
same envy that in the animal Kingdom
is undoubtedly provoked by the gil
raffe.
Dressed in a fine cloth tunic Of deli
cate gray, wearing a illet with brass
spikes on his head and a brass plate
with spikes on his breast, having
barbaric rings in his ears and eight
broad bracelets on his bare arms, and
his legs being wrapped up in yellow
sheepskin door-mats, still Abeokuta
looked difidOnt and abashed, and wore
the aspect Of one who would wish to
withdraw from the observation Of a
rude and curious world.
Rise, Abeokuta, said his manager,
in a soft and wheodling voice; rise, my
boy, and let the ladies and gentlemen
see how tall you are. He is only 4 strip.
ling, the Snowman added, as the giant
from Dahomey stood up with evident
reluctance, and then Immediately col
lapsed again into a wearied sitting pos
ture; "he is only twenty years Of age,
and is growing, and We have to humor
him, He can span eight feet between
his extended hands" 1t was evident
that Abeokuta, like Chang, is too long
for his breadth, and that he feels
greater security and finds more com
fort when he is partially shut up. He
has a good looking face, saving a
pathetic aud almost querulous expires.
sion, that seems perpetually to be
asking his manager to lay out horizon
tally, and that is more or less painful
to a sensitive observer. He has we'll
modelled features.
