 In the course of an interesting and valuable lecture upon Irish affairs before the students of Lafayette College Professor D. B. King, in reply to the common assertion that the condition of the Irish people is more wretch ed now than it ever was before, said: While the condition of the Irish people is bad enough and there is great room for i'm provement, Ireland has been making progress tn several important directions. Her manu factures have increased-I have already al- luded to the wonderful growth of Belfast due to commerce and manufactures. The char acter of the dwellings of the Irish people has greatly improved The commissioners of 1841 divided the dwellings of the people into four classes. The fourth class comprised all mud cabins having only one room the third, mud cabins of 8 larger size, with from two to four rooms and windows the second, good farm houses or houses in town, with from five to nine rooms and the first, all houses of better sort. In the thirty years from 1S41 to 1871 the number of families living in first and second class hou ses increased fifty per cent, those living in third-class houses decreased twenty per cent, while the number living in fourth-c class houses was only about one-third as large in 1871 as in 1841. Great progress, too' has been made in education. The institu- tions and appliances for the gher education have greatly increased, as -s also the num- Der of students pursuing advanced courses of study, while very remarkable progress has been made in the education of the masses In 1841 ffty-three per cent. of the people of Ireland were unable to read and write. In 1871 the illiterates were only thirty-one per cent of the whole population. To-day there are probably less than twenty-five per cent. unable to read and write. The establishment of National schools and the disestablishment of the Irish Church were great strides in the way of progress.

AND STILL THEY COME.

AND STILL THEY COME. The disgusted Europeans are focking to our shores at an unprecedented rate. Last
 week 23, 545 of them reached New York. This is larger number than have ever before
 come during any single week. The greatest previous record was for the corresponding l week in May of last year, when the arrivals | numbered 20, IFS. The number for last week l is higher than that for any one month in the l year 1879. At this rate we shall have at least | the expected million of immigrants during | this year.
 There was a lively time at Castle Garden l on Saturday, and also yesterday. Seven Flu ropean steamers came in Saturday. all having on board large numbers of steerage passen- gers. There were many that the em- ployee at the Garden could not take care of them and only four of the seven steamers put their passengers ashore. The great City of Rome, of the Inman line. landed 1,51O third class passengers. The White Star
 steamer Republic brought 834. The Assyrian ! Monarch had l, ,O56, the Bristol had 186, the
 Elbe had 1900, the Donau GOO, and the Cas- tor 65O. Those on the last three were landed yesterday.
 There are some who fear that we are re- ceiving too much raw material out of which to construct American citizens, and that it will not be long before we shall see the bad effects of such vast importation of European laborers. There does not however, appear to be a good foundation for such fear. It is the universal testimony that better class of immigrants never came to our shores than those who are now coming. A large number are Germans, (nearly forty per c6nt of the whole) who almost all bring with them enough money to help them get good start in this country Thus, in cargo of six hun dred and seventy Germans who recently ar rived, some had as much as 2,5O0 and none less than $6O There are also a great many Hollanders and Scandinavians, nearly all of whom are skilled workmen or have enough money to start themselves in new homes The English and Scotch immigrants who come were never of better character, and the Irish share the general improvement The only wholly undesirable immigrants are | the Italians. They are very poor. A lot of twelve hundred who recently arrived had only $1O5 among them.
 There is another fact which those who
 look with apprehension upon the great and growing emigration from Europe to this country should bear in mind. Most of those who come are tillers of the sil. There is
 plenty of land ID this country for them to
 work upon, and they do work upon it and
 thus add immensely to our producing ca
 pacity, and to the real wealth of the country
 There is not much reason for being afraid of
 immigrants until there is much less land for
 them than there is now.

One of the evils of the present congress sional session is absenteeism. The yeas and nays were called fifteen times in the first two weeks of the present month.

The business of shr oud making has great ly increased within five years. Formerly nearly all the small retail undertakers had their shrouds made by women, whom they employed as occasion demanded, but now the entire trade is supplied by large jobbing houses. There are seven of these firms in New York, and they turn out nearly 10000 shrouds year. Agents travel over the country, and it is by no means an uncommon thing to have small dealer lay in a stock of one hundred and fifty to two hundred shrouds at time.

At the recent meeting of the national board of fire underwriters President Heald said that if the average rate of fire insurance pre- miums for the last twenty-two years had been 20 cents less on each $100 insured, the entire capital and assets of the two hundred and ninety-three companies embraced in the tables of the board would long ago have been swept out of existence.
 The Chinese in San Francisco are reported to be directing their attention to type setting, some of thelr number having learned the compositor's vocation in the printing offices of the English journals published at Canton and Hong Kong. They are said to be already doing all the type-setting on two weeklies published in San Francisco, but the names Of the papers are kept secret since it would practically mean their ruin if the fact became known, in the excited condition of public feeling at present existing there.

These gentlemen constitute the extra parliamentary committee appointed to consider the scheme, the design of which is to create an inland sea on portion of the desert by which the vast tract of blistering waste land can be made fertile and produc- tive.
