Jacob aGuller on Immigration.

Mr.. Muller is not only good shoe
maker but is quite public-spirited ci-
tizen. He believes that there is not
finer country in the world than st. Ian
dry, and nothing delights him more
than to talk of our delightful climate,
fertile soil, and the vast wealth and
prosperity which are to be developed
by settlement of our idle lands by in
dustrious farmers. As recognition OF
his zeal and progressive views upon the
subject Of Immigration, he was elected
one of the vice presidents of the immi-
grafton association organized here last
week. On that occasion, when called
upon to express his opinion upon the
subject, he uttered some very plain
philosophical truths, which deserve the
attention of our people. He said "that
the principal thing needed to develop
the splendid resources of our lands was
elboao grease-that is, more industry and
greater thrift. There were too many
drones who produced nothing and con-
sumed much, There we're too many
who only half worked, and therefore
realized but little. What our Parish
wanted was system of small farms,
worked by industrious and frugal farm
ers, who would produce the greatest
amount of products from the fewest
acres of land. Who would commence
early and work late; who would not
only till the soil we'll but fertilize the
land and variagate his crops" He
alluded, with pride, to the industry and
| economy of his own countryman as
farmers, and cited as an example, in
! our own midst,t the german colony in
Faquetaique, Mr.. Muller said that our
land holders, however, would lave to
offer better terms in the sale of lands,
if they desired TO secnre german immi-
grafton; because they would not pur-
chase lands and improve them, unless
they we're satisfied they could pay for
them. On Monday night next, Mr..
Muller will express ..is views more fnl-
ly before the meeting which will con-
vene at that time.

The election on last Tuesday passed
off very qnietly.; in fact, considering
the vast Importance of it's being Con
gressional candidacy, it was very
apathetie exercise of the grcatest of
privileges, the elective franchise.
Among the ignorant who were not in
formed of the vast issnes involved in
the selection of congressman in this
election, there may be some excuses,
but among the more intelligent class of
citizens who absented themselves from
the polls on this occasion, they have
not committed simply blunder, bat in
the emission of so great a public duty
they have shown the want of due ap.
preciation of the highest prerogative OF
af American citizen. At some of the
precincts less than half of the registered
democratic votes were pnlied. Under
the circumstances pressure Of work at
home was not d legitimate excuse for
! failing TO perform a duty they owed
their parish, State, and the country at
large. The elective franchise, as a
imminent of citizenship, is conferred
upon man, as an element of power,
to be exercised in q manner which he
honestly eonceiyes to be best for tl,s
public veal, and not simply to crafty
his personal likes or dislikes.

The chronological Journal says: If
the mere act of whistling can cheer and
help man so much, why should it be
denied to a woman Z If whistling will
drive away the blues and be company
for O lonesome person, surely women
have much more need Of its services
than their brothers, for to them come
many more such occasions than to men.
There are many who have not the gift
of song. Why should they not whistle
as they rock the cradle or perform their
household duties or accompany them
selves on the piano9 But there is a
physical OF hygienic advantage in
Whistling which should excuse it
against all the canons of propiiety or
ssgood fOrm.n It is often remarked that
the average girl is so narrow chested,
and in that respect compares so un-
favorably with her brother. May this
not be due 10 some measure to the habit
of whistling, which every boy acquires
as soon as he arrives at the dignity OF
pants, and girls seldom do9 Let any
try for FIVE minutes the inhaling and
exhaling of the breath as it occurs in
the act of whistIing. and the effect on
tho lungs and chest cannot fail to be
noticed A daily practice of this kind
would be of more benefit than all the
