FOREIGNERS IN NEW YORK.

The French residents of New York, says
number about 10000. For so small part
of the population, the French is certainly
an important one. 1t is prominent in busi-
ness, in society, in the professions, in works
of beneyolence, and in many other ways
Considering its relative numbers. il may he
said TO lead in this respect among the for
elgn classes. According 10 the celsns quot
ed moment ago, New York's total foreign
population when il was made (in 1880 was
$4,000. II must now be well beyond 900,
900, for New York has retained large part
OF the tremendous tide of immigration that
has flowed in since. Over lj0.OO OF last
years arrivals were credited to New York,
but the bulk of these remained here only for
while. The native population at the
same time was IoS 900 bat probably half of
these were the children of foreign parents.
IL this class and the foreign born were
counted together they would certainly make
up more than half of the whole population.
or the foreigners counted in 1880 nearly
200, 900 were born in Ireland. The exact
census figure is l9S,595. The Irish were
supposed to be more numerous than that
but still the number is very large. The
Germans comprised l53,000, the English
30, 900, the Italians l., 1000, and the Dutch
OHollanders), who did SO much for Manhat-
tan in the old times, only 1900. The Chi
nese numbered it seems, just 1871.

cd in an inch and a quarter anger hole over
which the tree had grown in thickness
about four inches. On the outside no trace
of the hole could be seen. From the growth
of the tree since the boring of the hole it is
supposed that the coins were put there not
later than 1912. In diameter the tree was
about two feet, and it is not likely that the

CIGAR FACTS.

Speaking of Havana, says the New York
correspondent Of the Rochester Democrat,
l may add few facts concerning the cigar
trade. New York purchases the most costly
cigars in the world, and these, of course,
come from Havana. Nearly 100 brands
are known here, each of which has its ad:
nirers. These cigars are of high cost in
their own market but the price is enor-
nonsly increased by the duty, which is so
fniimidad, which has been quoted by inn
parters nj the trifiing sum of 800 per l,000
They have retailed at 60 cents apiece, but
perhaps are now little cheaper. The
Henry Clay is another popular brand of
almost the same yalue. They are imported
III boxes each containing fifty aud large
number of these boxes are packed in one
case. There are other fine cigars of more
moderate prices, and if the reader wishes to
observe n little closer economy, there is the
Principal, which is only $500 per 1,000
while the Flora dc Fumar is only one-half
that price. They retail at 20 cents and are
in steady demand, being indeed the most
common cigar found at the leading hotels.
Our tobaceonist says that Il is impossible to
equal an Havana cigar by any other manu-
facture. The attempt has been tried at Key
West in the most careful manner, but has
failed. They imported the finest tobacco
from the valley of the Abajo (of which the
best Havana cigars are made), but the Key
West article proved inferior. Key West is
50 near Havana that chad the effort been
successfully the duty would have been saved
by making up the Havana leaf Key West
cigars are common in our market, but they
never equal the imported article.

The State Gazette says: A great
deal of surprise has beer expressed at the
resolute anti-railroad course of Governor
Ludlow. This surprise has been intensi-
fed by the fact that he was lately the
regular paid counsel of the Pennsylvania
Company, and was invariably counted AS
" safe : for them while Senator from
Middlesex county. The most reasonable
explanation OF his sudden and radical
change Of front that we haze heard, is
that he has been bitten by the Senatorial
CAD fly, and hopes to ride into the Sena-
torship next Winter ON tho crest of an
anti-monopoly movement that is to sweep
the State. 1t is a weak and vain notion
for man of Governor Ludlows hard

WHERE THE NEEDLE POINTS.

| beg to state that the reason why the
needle points in n northerly direction is TINT
the earth in itself is magnet, attracting the
magnetic needle as the ordinary magnets
do, and the earth is magnet as the result
of certain cosmical facts, much affected by
the action of the sun. These laws have per-
iodicities, all of which have not as yet been
reason of any fact in nature, as gravity,
heat, light, etc. is not known further than
that it is in harmony with MI the facts in
nature. Even an Earthquake is in perfect
harmony with and the direct resultant of the
action of forces acting under general laws.
A condensed explanation in regard to the
needle pointing to the northward and south
ward is as follows The magnetic poles of
the earth do not coincide with the geograph-
ieal poles The axis of rotation makes an
angle of about twenty three degrees with a
line joining the former The northern mag
netic pole is at present near the Arctic circle
on the meridian of Omaha. Hence the
needle does not everywhere point to the
astronomical north, and is constantly yari-
able within certain limits. AT San Francisco
it points about seven degrees east of north,
and at Calais, Me-, as much to the west.
AT the northern magnetic pole, n balanced
needle points with its north end downward
in plumb line AT San Francisco 1t about
dips sixty three degrees and at the southern
magnetic pole the south end points directly
downward. The action of the earth upon n
magnetic needle Mt its surface is of about
the same force as that of hard steel mag
net, forty inches long, strongly magnetized,
at dstance.of one foot. The foregoing is
the accepted explanation of the fact that the
needle points to the northward and south
ward. OF course, no ultimate reason can
be given for this natural fact in nature, -
