An Eccentric Bishop.

In sermon at the Calcutta Cathedral,
after hubbub about some indiscretion
attributed to an officer Of rank, the
bishop Wilson after powerful discourse
wound up by saying: "But my
brethren, there are sinners everywhere.
There are sinners even among these
dear little children pointing to the
Sunday-school children right and left
of hiln), and there are vast number of
old sinners in front of me-" waving his
hands over the heads Of the Governor
General and staff, members of Council.
heads of departments, etc. One morn
ing / breakfasted with him. As usual
at family prayers, which he invariably
conducted himself, he prayed by name
for the people staying with hlm. There
was a gentleman from Madras for whom
he prayed, and then he said: LET us
pray for his dear wife, and dear chill
dren.'' a thought struck him, he
paused, and he said to his chaplain
Oy-bAO-pJCg 10 AS a m1NAACN MdA
''No, my lord, heis notmarried." "Ah,
well, never mind" he resumed. HE
may marry, and the children may come.
On another occasion it was related
that he was preach ing against the sin
of avarice, when he delivered himself
of the following remarks: my breth-
ren, there are several forms of avarice
one form has recently been brought
home to me most unpleasantly. You
all know my Arch-deacon there,
most excellent man well, last week
he sold me o horse for five hundred
rupees-he is not worth ten. This, my
brethren! I considered most unpleasant
form of avarice.''

How SkoDeleR died.

The evening General Skobeleff died
he was In his usual health and spirits
and dlned heartily with some boon
companions at one of the best restau-
rants in the town, After dinner the
party proceeded to the Ermitage Gar
dens, place of entertainment in the
environs of Moscow, of the same
character as the Cremorne Gardens
used to be in London. More friends
were met at the Ermitage, and after a
very lively evening the party returned
to the town. Skobeleff invited some
of the company to join him at supp r
at a small hotel of Indifferent repute
in the Petrovka street, named the
Hotel d'Angleterre. Ia this hotel and
in this society the General died.
SkobeIeff had numerous enemies,
and by many it is believed that he
was a r4ctlm to foul play; but those
who best knew his character, and who
also know who were in his company
at the time of his death, consider it
far more probable that he was killed
by one of his male companions in a
drunken brawl. A writer says: l my
self, Immediately on hearing Of his de-
cease. sought information at the Ho-
tel dAngleterre. 1 was refused ad-
mittance, and when I attempted to
question tue proprietor he declined to
reply. He chad never seen General
Skobeleff;" he did not know he was
dead, and he did not know why l
asked him about it. Other inquirers
were in my presence similarly refused
information. Tue Generals body was
at night secretly removed to the Ho-
tel Dusaux, where the next day it was
given out that Russia's greatest mil
itary chief had suddenly expired from
heart disease.

The Tide of Immigration.

The Bureau of Statistics has issued
its annual report, showing the total
immigration to the United States for the
year ending June 30, 1882. Its first and
most notable feature has reference to
the enormous proportions which this
foreign influx has assumed. The total
immigration for the current year
amount to 789, ,0O3, 1852 more than
last year, when the highest total was
reached ever known in the history of
this country. Some idea of the relative
amount of this foreign addition to our
population may be gathered by the
statement that four years of such
increase would aggregate a number
equal TO the total population of the
United States at the time of the
Revolutions population which it had
required cue hundred and fifty years to
reach. OF this enormous sum Germany
furnished the largest instalment, her
quota aggregating 149, ,505. England
and Wales furnished S5 175; ireland,
&c, ,432, and Sweden, 81, ,6O7, while the
Dominion of Canada iscredited with 98,-
308, considerable portion of them
undoubtedly being Europeans who
came through Canadian ports. Nearly
two-thirds of the whole number, or
500, III, landed at New York. Huron
stands next in the list, with II 424;
Boston follows, with 5S, 8S7; Baltimore,
with Al 739, while Philadelphia stands
fifth in the list, with 36,294. The
most marked proportional increase over
the immigration of LAST year was among
the Chinese, 80, $40 of whom arrived in
1882, as against II, $50 in 1881. Ii this
extraordinary rate of immigration
should be maintained for any great
lenth of me Uncle Sans remaining free
DOMAIN will be circumscribed very fast.
A farm each for 100000 families, be-
sides what is required for the natural
increase of our own population, will
rapidly exhaust our surplus lands.
Notwithstanding strikes and others
evidences of discomfort among our own
worhngmen, this enormous migration
to our shores indicates that the laboring
people of the Old World believe that
they can better their condition very
materially by coming here and sharing
the lot of these discontented wage
earners. 'The land of the free and the
home of the brave" seems to be still the
most attractiYe country on the green
earth, Judging by the rate at which the
peoples of nearly ali civilized countries
are focking hither.

Rotterdam :

tits nearly midday, says writer
before we get through the sluice-gates
and drop down towards Rotterdam.
We pass many canals, which stretch
away from us into the country. There
are many of them so narrow that only
small craft can ply upon then. The
windmills multiply aud then suddenly
cease, for we are now in a region where
they are unavaillng; the land lies much
below the level of the sea, and is
irreclaimable. Most desolate, even in
the bright midday sun, Is the appear
ance of the shores. We are no longer
in canal, but in wide sweep of dark,
turbid water, fringed by q wilderness
OF sedges and osiers. Flocks Of teal
and brent rise with harsh diseordant
cry; while watar-hens bob in and out
among the twisted roots of the willows.
In the background rises the bare,
straight highroad against the the hori-
zon. Here and there tiny cottage
stands on its platform of brick; ut the
foot of fight of steps, a boat lies
moored; the only means of exit and
egress being by water. The occupa-
tion of these lonely dwelIers OF the
marsh is osier-cutting. The osiers are
split and made into hoops, an extern
sive trade being carried on between
Holland and other countries in this
commodity. Soon we begin to pass
numerous vessels; the water wldens,
and forest of masts rises in the distance,
and there is Rotterdam. Very quaint
and picturesque looks the ancient city,
with its curious gabled houses, over
whose roofs the spires of more than one
old church appear. The broad quay is
planted with magnificent limetrees
which also rear their leafy branches
over the sidewalks of the many canals
which intersect the town like network,
where busy craft pass up and down.
But when the noise and hustle of the
day are stilled, and / sit on deck and
watch the great round moon lift her
yellow face above the tall ships masts,
and softly throw her magic mantle over
the scene, thiak that Holland, with
its ever present waters, is a land of
beauty and wondre.

Treatment OF Disease by Outdoor Life

More rational opinions are gradually
making their way, and, in one particu-
lar at least, beginning is being made
of a revolution, namely, the system Of
treatment followed in "climatic sam
ltariums, and establishments for the
cure OF diseases by air. difference of
elevation, etc. The proprietors of such
places it is true, speak of the "specifc"
virtues of their climate but, inasmnch
as chemistry shows that atmospheric air
all over the earth has the same constitu-
ton, tue specific virtue must reside in
the special purity of the air-a thing
wanting in cities, but found in all vii
lages, provided they don't possess large
factories. Further, it is an error to sup
pose that in the South-Florida, Colo
ralo, or in the Tyrol, or by the lake Of
Geneva--it is as warm as in hot-house.
In those regions, too, it is now and then
cold vet - - aeei2~ 70 Lo L--"-7,
there, for usually the sun shines and the
landscape is beautiful. But, since We
connot send all the sick to the South,
we must devise some substitute at home,
the benefit of which may be enjoyed
even by tie poorest. Then, too, when
we consider that the majority of those
who have spent the winter in a southern
cline return as-embalmed corpses, be-
cause it is only when it is too late that
people make up their minds 70 make the
costly voyage, there is reason to expect
better results from timely recourse at
home to "air-cure." With the means
of treatment at hand, disease might he
nipped in the bud and lung complaints
in general would be rarer.

"Why?" queried Bess.
