A Sweet Perfume.
Chicarn Trihnna

'Ts it not beautiful, sweethe ,rtY"
"What?" asked George w. Simpson,
looking tenderlv into the deep blue eyes
of Daphne Mccarthy as they were rails
ed to his, and glsncing around in a
nervous, steer-caught-in-the- corn way.
"Why the sweet perfume that is be-
in waited to us on the june air." said
the girl, shifting her chewing gum as
she spoke. "Do you not feel the SEN
suous languor that is all about us-the
subtle perfume that seems to have kiss
ed the air with dewy fragrance"
The wistful, fear-haunted look came
into the mans face. He smiled the air
in several directions, and there came
u pom the perfect features of his Wab-
ash-avenue face a smile of calm content.
eyes, darling" he said, bending over
e girl, 81 tumble now"
And what is this perfume, George"
the girl asked. Can you not tell me
darling?"
"you bet can, my angel" replied
George, speaking in tones of passionate
tenderness. "They are going to lave
corned beef for supper in the next
house"

IMMIGRATION.
An Unnrecedented Influx.

"Put it down at thirty thousan! at
the very least" said Supt. Jackson ct
Castle Garden this afternoon, in
response to question as to how many
of our foreign relations would be reg
istered this week. "Up to thursday, !"
he continued, 'Tgcnty thousand have
arrived since sunday night, and that is
the biggest fur days contribution in
the history of the port. Between now
and saturday night we expect nine
more'steamers, including the mammoth
City of Rome, and the vessel agents tell
us that these will bring us at least ten
thousand steerage passengers"
The arrivals yesterday were from
Hamburg, Bremen, Glasgow, Havre,
and the MEDITERRANEAN ports, and
among the trades represented are tai
lors, shirt-makers, matters, carpenters,
cabinet makers, wheelwrights, black
smiths, farmers, masons, plasters, and
laborers. The shirt makers, who come
from HI avre, say that they have been
earning less than 5 Traces week. The
heelwrights and blacksmiths are from
Bremen. They report business in their
line very slack there, and one of their
number says that there is as much as
twenty thousand workmen are idle in
and around Bremen, who would gladly
emigrate to this country if they only
could obtain the means. The best
wheelwright can not earn more than
81 ,25 day, while the wages of
blacksmiths, foundry men, and horse
hoers do not average more than 81.
Many farm hands and laborers come
from Glasgow, and all of them are
bound west, having prepaid railroad
tickets to Illinois, Iowa minnesota, etc.
The present pay ofthe Scotch farm
laborer at home is $40 a'year and board.
The Alexandria, from Gibralter,
brings several hundred Italians, who
are railroad builders. They have no
nor any worldly goods save the
clothes they have on their backs,

Journalistic Consolidation.

The consolidation of the Sentinel with
the Republican and Nelcs ends the lively
war that has waged in Milwaukee for a
year past. The stockholders of the
Republican held the longest pole and
knocked the persimmons. Thus grim
visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled
front. There will be no more watered
stock, no more injunctions, no more
bogus midnight dispatches, no more

in keeping up to the standard of the Sen
tinei, it win be worthy of large reading

i
The grand jury returned new pre-
sentiments against Thomas S. Brady,
John w. Dorsey, Stephen w. Dorsey,
Monfort G. Reerdell, Henry M. Turner,
J. r. Miner, J. M. Peck and Harvey
III. Vail, charging them with conspiracy
to defraud the United States in connee-
ton with awards of star route con-
tracts. Four allegations of overt acts
committed outside the statute of limi-
tations have been omitted. Twelve

brought forward to May %, 1879. The
court issued warrants for the arrest oil

There is a good deal of speculation
in Washington in respect to the APP
pointments on the Tariff Commission
Board. One correspondent states posi-
lively that no name has been deter
mined upon with any certainty except
that of ex- Secretary Kirkwood, who is
undoubtedly selected to be President of
the commission. 1t can be stated with
almost equal certainty that Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, of Boston, is to be a member
of it. That is a very good start, if those
two gentlemen have been determined
upon, as both possess peculiar qualifica-
tons for the position. Another
Washington letter writer asserts that
different State delegations have beeh
holpihg meetings TO select persons
whom they can agree upon to present
to the President. Most of them have
not been able to agree. There are few of
the delegations who could not present
more than names enough to fill all the
places. The probabilities are that be-
fore the State delegations have decided
upon their choice the President will
have made the nominations.
