According to Mr.. Trevelyan, the Eng
ish government has concluded to aban-
don the transportation of Irish paupers
to this country. There is now a good
deal OF complaint of the fact that a
systematic importation of which labor
has been carried on for some time bv
eastern manufacturers, in this country
to whom they give wages upon which
American workingmen with families
would stasve. The people of this coun-
try have always generously welcomed
the emigration ofthe poor from Europe
capable Of earning living, and have
never asked nor cared how much or
how little money such emigrants have
brought with them. But they protest
against the pauper importation like that
of some of the New England manufact-
urers, which is designed to drive honest
American labor out of employment. The
patriotism that denounces the assisted
immigration of panper Irish by the
British government will make no dis
tinction in favor of the importation @,

sent the floral tribute to the wife at

A student Of the reports Of The tenth
census has compiled table for the Bos.
ton Commonwealth for the purpose of
showing in what state or states one has
the best chance for long life. New
Hampshire seems to him to be the fav-
orite refuge ofgreen old age, for he finds
that one-seventy-fourth of the inbab.

proportion among native white males IS
l to 80, but the environment in New
Hampshire seems to have been even
more favorable to the preservation of
life In the other sex, for the proportion
among native white females is to

are misleading in some respects, princi.
paliy from the fact that vast numbers Of
the young of New England emierate

while most of the western states are ltoo
young to contain many old people. WHY
should we expect to find aged men in
Colorado or in the fother states which
were almost uninhabited a few wears

to grow there, and very few of them
have gone there from other parts of the
country. The same statement can be
made concerning other states, but with
less and less force as we approach the

some OF the western states named are

comparison of longevity with those re.

why q Juvenile Play in Boston
Was lnterruptel,

Some of the nice children on Common
wealth avenue, says the Boston Globe,
recently proposed to surprise their par
ents with dramatic performance with
the distinct understanding that no adult
was to witness rehearsal or to ask about
the nature of the play written by a
young miss of ten years, who was to as
sumo the role of heroine, assisted by a
lad of the same age. On the night ofthe
performance the parents of the children
assembled in the front drawing room of
the large residences and waiting for the
drawing aside of the portieres with COM
mendable patience. The first scene rep
resented the wedding of the hero and
heroine and the departure ofthe former
for the wilds of the west, where he was
to reap his fortune in raising cattle and
miring. This went off finely, and the
portiers we're closed with loud burst
of applause. A lapse of 10 years
was supposed to have passed be-
tween the first and second acts,
and when the act COM
menced the young husband had
returned and his wife not looking day
older, greeted her spouse in formal
manner and even asked him to remain
and dine with her, which he consented
to do. While seated at the table eating
ice cream, the husband told how he had
toiled for wealth and acquired millions,
al for The sake of the dear wife he had
left behind. This had such an effect on
the matron that she finished the ice.
