that no seats could be got without apply
ing to him. A meeting of the congrega-

population of the country was added to by
the arrival of 3s,sss foreign immigrants,
OF these Germany furnished he largest

Wales sent us 7,146. Canadas loss is our
gain to the number of 4, 1888 people. Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark reinforce
their large population in the Northwest
with 1878 recruits. Ireland ships 1896.
The Swiss contingent numbers 7lO. Aus
trla, Hungary, Russia, Bohemia and
Italy each sends more than 500. France
spares US only 307. The rest come in
small squads from everywhere. And yet
August was not a particularly good month

is no trick at all to assilnilatc paltry
