NatiOnalities Of Immigrants.

Statistics compiled by the Census
Bureau show that since 1860 the pro-
portion of immigration to the native
born population has been steadily main
tanned at about l3 per cent, but the
division of the nationalities seeking
homes in the United States has fuctu-
ated considerable. After the terrible
famine in Ireland in lo4S, Irish emigra-
ton to the United States was greatly
stimulated, so much so that the island
furnished nearly one-half of the in
crease of the Republic from immigra-
ton; but of late there has been de-
cded diminution Of the Irish arrivals
as compared with those from other
countries. In 1850 the Irish constitu-
ted 43.5 per cent. Of the foreignborn
population; in 1860, 2S.9 per cent; in
1870, 3S8 per cent. The statistics of
the census of 1880 are not complete
in this regard, but from obtainable da.
ia it is estimated that the proportion,
so high in 1850, has fallen to about 25
per cent. of the whole. Germans and
Scandinavians are taking the ascend
ant The Irish continue to arrive in
great numbers, but not as plentifully
as even the English, and not near SO
numerously as the Germans.

Song or an Idaho ArgOnaut.
BY REV. BALLARD S. DUNN.

Dread "Ligha.ing- Ridge!'' high uplifted!
Outlin'd against stormy sky;-
Ger thy sleeps, with snow-banks drifted,
To scale thy summit, must try.
To bivouac on that mountain bleak,
There hear the night winds woful wall,
Is not an almless, boyish freak;-
There's gold in "Deadwood's" snow-bound
vale.
Napoleon crossed the snowy Alps,
In awful panoply OF war
He sought for Austro- German scalps,
The face of Europe how to mar.
l go to dig from mother earth,
A fortune, free from taint of fraud;
And should / gain ten million worth,
Ten thousand throats would loudly laud
But should fail, and come to grief,
In this my lonely endeavor,
| Would any come to my relief? !?
! The FEW would come, the MANY, never.
To strive tor fame, or strive for gain,
Brings not holy life, nor dying;
But God such love can soothe the pain,
And bid the true "keep on trying"

The story of MIR. Vests early and
romantic marriage reads so like one of
Ouida's society tales that it half seems
as though the noble young diplomat
and the beautiful heroine must have
Appeared somewhere in her pages.
Twenty years ago, when a stripping
attache in the service of the state, this
third son of the earl of Delaware mar
ried a Spanish actress, a countess in
her own right, but destined never to
receive her due honors from Mr..
Vests family. His mother, the coun.
tess of Delaware, was one of the stiff
and unrelenting old dowagers that the
English novels abound with, and with
the severe notions of worthy British
matron, would never hear of her sons
nesalliance, nor call an actress her
daughter-in-law., Notwithstanding this
stern and unrelenting parent, Mr..
West and his wife continued to be
happy, and his ardent and romantic
devotion lasted through all the years
of her life. E.
She died in Paris about ten
years, ago, at the time of
the Franco Prussian war, leaving
him three children, to whom
he has always been the most indulgent
father. The fair lady was famed for
her beauty through all the courts of
Europe, and her portrait, painted at
the kings request, in the residenz-
palace of Munich, rivals any of the
faces in Stielee's gallery of beautiful
women. The pure Spanish type of her
beauty, and the poetic and exquisite
face Of the gifted countess, more cele.
brated charms of Mrs. CORVALLIS
West. This marriage, regular and
legal by all the forms of church and
state, was never entered in the peerage,
