The leading nationaities of the Immigrants
of last year are given by the official returns

The proportion OF the various occupations
among the immigrants who lard on our
shores Is worth noticing. Thus, Of an aver
age of 100000 foreigners it was found
that 200, COO were laLorers nearly $4,000
farmers, and $4,000 servants The profcs-
sional occupations contributed nearly 1900.
and skilled occupations nearly $4,000. About
400, 000-including women and children
had no occupation. AS general thing the
immigrants who conc to us are capable,
truined, industrious workers. Almost all
of them can earn good living in some trade
or in tiling the soil. A very small proper
ton indeed are thrown upon the nations
support. They come to us with the intcn-
ton of working hard. and providing for
themselves and their children pleasant and
permanent homes in the land OF freedom and
promise. When not led aside by vicious dem
agogues, they make Conscientious law abid-
ing citizens, and most Of them bring some form
of religion with them. On the whole, our
foreign population forms better foundl-
ton element in our material prosperity than
a slowly developing native element possibly
could. Our Institutions are such as 10 de-
veope, without forcing. the true qualities Of
citizenship and Of social responsibility, aud
there is something in American lie which
throws every man upon his honor, aud tends
to bring out the best there is in him. lmn-i-
grafton may still continue 10 be a great ma
tional blessing to us, il properly governed and
regulated. We do not want nihilist, and
assassius, but we do want honest industrious
