two great subjects of inquiry are, OF
course, railroad fares and hotel accom-

announce greatly reduced rates from st.

also the probability that the fare from
any given point to San Francisco and

IMMIGRATION FOR THE YEAR 1881.

Four European steamers landed steerage immi-
grant passengers at Castle Garden n. Y, on Sunday
They were the Republic, from Liverpool with So on
board; the Cimbria, from Hamburg, with 753; the
Canada, from Havre, with 227 and the Wyoming
from Liverpool with 145. The number of Castle
Garden arrivals for the week 3761, and for the
month of December %, 963, an increase over the
same month in 1880 of 1870, the register at that
time showing 1888 1t appears that the number
of immigrants who reached New York during the
year just closed, is, according to the register at
Castle Gardens 454 900 To this is to be added the
immigrant, cabin, intermediate passengers for
the month Of December, the report of which has
not yet been received. This will swell the list by
about one thousand names, the actual number of
aliens who came to America to make their homes
and landing at the port of New York alone 456 600.
When the yearly returns received from Phiia-
delphia, Boston, Baltimore, New Orleans and other
American ports, there is doubt that the total
immigration for 1881 will be found to be 5OO-
600 souls, 10000 more than in 1880, which was
100000 larger than any previous years showing.

and which require more good, sound judgment and
care to discharge them wisely and justly than are
those of the subject of this brief sketch.
The fact that he has for more than ten years re-
