to make All annual tour in Europe that
they lay out their whole route before

they will spend at each place which

will be on a certain date, even allowing

OPT SUBSTITUTE FOR LIQUOR.

There j. no question that the Chinese
imported the opium habit into Ameri-
"a. And they have carried it wher-
ever they have gone. The Chinaman
without opium would be as much ofau
anomaly az an Italian without macca-
roni or German without lager beer.
The Chinese have spread the Use Of
this deadly drug over the whole cOun-
try like an infectious disease.
But the Use of opium has travelled out
side of the Chinese quarters of the great
cities. The importation of opium has
increased some thirty thousand pounds
u year, while the Chinese population
does not hold its own. A br0chHrc Oh
the subject, published in New York
short time ago, reports the rapid spread
Of the habit among American people.

in parlors whose existence is known
only to the Initiated. Ii iSused by law

hotel. 1t is resorted to sometimes by
men Il, Il substitute for liquor when the
Use of the latter has been excessive, and
the slavery of the drug is worse than
that of the wine cup. The author
found that school girls had contracted
the opium habit, and its insidiOus fas-
cination was too much for even the
tired clergyman to resist. The effect of
a considerable use OF the drug is not only
to break down the constitution aud de-
stroy health, but to weaken the will and
disinteg rate the whole moral nature. 1t
is the most disastrous of intOxicants on
the mind and conscious as well rs OH the
body. And once formed, The habit can
not lie overcome for it steals away the
power of resistance to it, insidious and

Now, it is very well for the police to
strike at the Chinese opium dens. Let
them be closed up 10y all means. But
10 make the war upon the opium habit
effective, decisive blow must be struck
higher up.

FARMING AND FARM LABOR.

Undoubtedly the cultivation of the
soil and the raising of tlocks and herds
may always he depended upon to furn-
ish n living, and there is, therefore, no
very great risk in the enterprise. In view
of the overcrOwded condition of all pur-
suits this one may be safely relied OH as
an ynfailing resource at all times. Few
regions have been more rapidly settled
than have been Illinois, Missouri, Kan
sas and Iowa, with farmers and stock
raisers since 1850. Hence, the westward
migratory movement now again going
on will again produce general activity.
For this emigration will put large
amount of money in active circulation,
cause large increase in rail-
road travel aud freights, relieve
the overburthened labor markets of the
seaboard, and create new markets for
capital and merchandise. The condi-
tons are much more favorable to agri-
cultural emiSrsnts now than formerly,

OFF FOR EUROPE.

The tide of pleasure travel sets very
strongly across the Atlantic. On last
Saturday, the 18th inst, five steamers
left New York for Europe, taking about
five hundred saloon passengers, and
yesterday the out so was fully as great.
The demands for berths on the best
steamships OF the twenty.One lines run
ming out Of New York promises to be
even greater than last year, when the
demand was larger than the supply,
and when many who could not find
suitable accommodations there went to
Philadelphia and patrOnized the Ameri-
can line there. 1t is impossible to fix
q limit to the pleasure travel from this
country to Europe. Each season sur
passes the preceding one. Great as it

IRISH EMIGRATION.

On the subject of Irish emigration the
resolutions of the late Philadelphia
Convention spoke with incisive cOgency
and clearness. They say that under
a proper system of government the
Irish exodus would cease, the country
being amply capable of supporting in
comfort much larger population than
il has had at any time within century.
They appeal to the United States
Government to stop the British practice
of shipping TO this country pennileSs
the victims whom landlord rule has
reduced to abject pauperism. Finally,
recognizing what is rs we'll as what
ought to be, they thank those American
Catholic prelates who have sought 10
locate the Irish emigrants on farms in
stead of leaving them to struggle amid
the sitting tenements of the great s.a-
board cities.
Now that the Irish american League
is organized on broader basis than
ever and with richer resources ut its
command, would it not he a seasOnable
work for it also to devise ways and
means toward assisting voluntary emf
grants to settle on farms instead of
crowding the ranks of laborers in the
cities? Some of the funds might be
used advantageously for that purpose,
or corporation might be organized to
attain the same end. Its benefits
would be conferred, not as donations,
but rs loans, to be repaid in due season
by the beneficiaries, whom such help
would make independent and comfort
able. The project has often been dis
Cussed and elaborated; it is not worthy
of an experimental trial 10y the League"

Omana Special
Some time ago Mrs. Annie L. Savage,
remarkably handsome woman and former
society belle of Detroit filed in the District
Court here petition for divorce from her
husband, William Savage, on the ground
that he had never contributed cent to her
support; that he is professional burglar
and has been confined in a number of peni-
tentiaries; and moreover, she never knew
him as a husband and could not tell whether
he was dead or alive. After full hearing
of the case Judge Neville to-day granted
Mrs Savage a decree of absolute divorce,
with permission to marry again. The story
related by the woman is very melodramatc
and of especial interest to St. Louis
and Detroit people. Mrs. Savage says
that on June 6, 1876, she was living
with her parents, Mr. and Mrs, Manning,
of Detroit. Her father was and is still a
merchant of prominence there and she was
moving in the best society. One day. while
returning from her music teacher, she met
young man on the street and began fiirta-
ton. He approached her and spoke saying
that his name was William Savage and that
he resided in st. Louis, where his family oc-
cupied a prominent social position. Mr.. Saw
age walked with Miss Manning to her home,
and before leaving made an appointment to
meet her the next day. In the meantime he
discovered that the family was wealthy, and
when the young girl met him again he pro-
to st. Louis and introduce her to his family.
Miss Manning consented, and they We're
married. The next day her parents heard of
it. and three days after Mr..
Savage was jailed on charge
of burglary, and the girl discovered
that her husband was one of the most noto-
rious burglars in the West. The young wom-
ans parents took charge of her, and pressed
the charge of burglary against Savage, so
that he was convicted and sent to the Jack
son penitentiary for three years. After his
release he hunted up his wife and extorted
money from her by various threats. Finally
he drifted back to- st. Louis, where he was
arrested for burglary and was sent to the
penitentary at Jefferson City for two years.
His sentence expired few weeks ago, and
hearing that his wife was here, Savage came
on to look her up. Before he found her he
was arrested for petit larceny, and sent to
the work-house, where he now is. Savage
alias Kelly, is well known to the police of
st. Louis and Chicago and has figured in
some extensive burgaries. At present he is
suffering from consumption and has lost his
nerve, SO that he has dropped down into the
ranks with the petty thieves. Mrs. Savage is
to be married next week to an eastern gem
tleman,
