THE immigration officers at New
York expect that at least 100000 immi-
grants from Europe will land at that city
during the present year. There have
never been so many Italians coming to
America as now. Over 1000 landed
last week, and they report that their
countrymen will come in swarms this
year. The German element still pre-
dominates, and it is noticeable that the
better class of Germans are now COM
ing. The steamship men say that thew
have not ships enough to accommodate
all wo want to come.

ALL that remains on earth of Ameri-
cas- great poet. Longfellow, was quiet
~, affectionately and solemnly con-
signed to its final resting place in
Mount Auburn cemetery, Boston, by
his old friends and neighbors of Cam
bridge. The great and good man was
one of the most quiet and modest of
gentlemen, and if he himself could
have dictated the manner of his fu-
neral, it could not have been more ap-
propriately unostentatious than it was.
The great poets body returns to the
dust of nature, but the beauty and
power of his genius, as embodied in
his wonderful writings, will continue to
survive as long as the American Ian
guage shall exist.

THE climax of fashionable funerals
was reached the other day in New
York, when stock-broker died after
an illness long enough to enable his
family to put all the style to be de sired
into the obsequies. Besides arraying
themselves in the finest mourning be-
fore the breath had left the body of
the subject, they provided a casket
lined and covered with silk thread
milling woven with tuberoses and lilies
of the valley SO thickly that it looked
like heap of flowers. The widow
challenges comparison with any funeral
of the year.

A Doctor On the RicycIe.

"a Country Surgeon" writes to The
London Lancet as follows: l have been
a bicycle rider for the last five years,
with an ever-increasing delight the
more proficient I become. This sum-
mer | have turned both my horses
out to grass, and have trusted to my
bicycle alone, going on an average
about fifty miles a day. 1 find I get
through my days work with less fatigue
than on horseback, and without the
monotony of driving. My work is done
quicker; my usual pace is ten miles an
hour, and | can 60 at the rate of fif-
teen when pressed. A bicyclist's steed
is always ready saddled, and on arriv-
ing at your destination does not require
a boy to hold him. It can be ridden
with almost as much ease in wet as in
dry weather, but it is not adapted for a
very hilly country, though all moder-
ate hills can be surmounted. Since
invested in my new ffty-two inch /
rode ninety-fve miles in one day with
out unusual fatigue. I can confidently
recommend all men who are fond of
exercise without fatigue, and all who
wish to curtail their stable expenses, to
take the trouble to learn the bicycle.

Mr. j. o. Poole, late Parish
Treasurer, has entered suit against
the Parish for the sum Of S2155 SO,
for warrants paii into the Treas
ury, in excess of the amount re-
ceived from the Tax Collector.
Also for the sum of $500, for salary
as Parish Treasurer, for the years
1850 and 1881. Some very peril
nent questions suggest themselves
in connection with the above suit.
In the first place, has Mr.. Poole,
while acting as Parish Treasurer,
been in TIE habit of specializing in
parish warrants, contrary to law?
Otherwise, how did he get poses
sion OF $2153 90 Sin excess of what
he received from the Tax Collec-
tor?" Il regard to his salary as
Parish Treasurer, MIR. Poole made
application early in 1881 to have
it increased from 500 to 5000 per
annum, and after several postpone
ments. the Police Jury finally, at
the July meeting, 1881, passed II
resolution fixing his salary at 5000.
But at the first meeting thereafter,
in September, the above mentioned
resolution was rescinded, and his
salary again fixed at 500. 1t APP
pears to us that according to the
above facts his bill ought not to be
more than about s216s. provided he
had served as Treasurer during the
whole of the two years. But at
the October term of the District
Court the Grand Jury brought in
IN indictment against Mr.. Poole,
charging him with embezzlemeLt,
and during the following week
Gov. McEnery appointed Mr.. w.
c. Warren to succeed Mr.. Poole,
who was suspended under the
provisions of the act relating to in
dictment for ENLIGHTENMENT" Since
that time, if we are not mistaken,
Mr.. Warren has been performing
the duties of Parish Treasurer.
The Police Jury, at its meeting last
Monday, again laid Mr.. Poole's bill
for $500 over till next meeting, for
the reason, we believe, that they
simply wish to ascertain whether it
is correct or not. before paying it.
