The return of immigration for March shows that
the current of labor wing to this country holds
up wonderfully well. considering the recent de-
pre,slon in many industries There can be no more
trustworthy barometer Of the comparative con-
ditlon of laboTers in this and in other countries
than the movement Of people seeking new homes
and guided. az immigrants IN these days almost
ALWAYS are by the experience of friends and neg h-
bors who have gone before them. In March, B.. j97
came e. this country, agaiust3S, 40 in March, 1883
and during tho nine months ending March 81 the
number OF immigrants was oOl,o25, against
33g.2l4 during the corresponding months ot tho
previous year, This does not Indicate that the
present condition Of labor is quite rs favorable In

IL is not. But IL indicates that the depression else

has been but little affected The movement
from different countries has varied suggestively.
The number from Austria Increases largely, and
there is substantially decrease from Ireland
while from England and Wales tho decrease is

from Scotland nearly the same from Italy il is over
20 per cent, from Norway over 20 per cent from
sweden about 80 per cent. from Canada less than
10 per cent, and from other unnamed countries
about per cent. 1t may be inferred that England

II must be encouraging to the members of
Congress 10 be told at this stage of the ses-
SION that the Appropriations Committee has
blocked ont good deal Of work Cor them in
the way of new legislation. 1t is about time
that committee made show Of doing some
thing. Five Of the general appropriation bills
have not yet been reported to the House.
Not In years las the business Of that
body been SO delayed. the senate has
been almost compelled to stop the con-
sideratiOn Of new measures, because OF
u g uselessness of attempting to get the House
" act upon them. With business III this con-
dlnon, and IN important Presidential canvass
close at hand, Dir. Randalls committee gives
out that It will attach TO the remaining applo-
priation bills some new and important general
legislation. AT no other time has the Demo-
cratic majority offered stronger evidence of its
hopeless imbecilty.

A Vienna correspondent gives some further
Interesting facts in to-day's TRIBUNE, in re-
gard 10 the iendish crimes of Hugh Schenk
aud his accomldiccs. 1t is not likely that the
field of action for such monsters as Schenk will
be circumscrbed because of his Infamous death
In fact, our correspondent notes that the publi-
cation of the details of Schenk's horrible
methods of crime led to no interruption in the
silly customs that made them possible There
was no diminution in the number OF girls, with
o small stock of savings, who advertised the
fact in the newspapers. Fortunately, such a
practice IS not common IN this country. But
there are men, who frequently get victimized
here in a similar manner to that practised by
Bchenk. who promised valuable employment

Great destruction has been caused in Cecil
County, Maryland, by the reckless practice of
some boys in setting fire to underbrush. A
tract of timber eight miles in length and three
a. width has been destroyed, and the fire is still
burning, threatening the county seat. Many
forest fires may be accounted for by similar
wantOn 'or careless acts. Severe punishment
should be inflicted on persons guilty of them.
Al the present time forest fires are raging in
many parts of the country, causing greater loss
Of valuable woodland than would follow in years
b. the acts of lumbermcn. 1t is difficult, if not
Impossible in the majority Of cases, to trace the
origin of those fires. But whenever the cause
IN any instance is known the merited punish
nent should follow.

at Maurin's
Mr.. Charles s.. Gray of Assumption,
leader of the DonaldsonyilIe String Band,
having visited the scene Of the Napoleonville
fire last Saturday and witnessed the distress
prevailing among the victims of the calan-
isy, came to our town on Sunday and en-
deayored to get up a concert and ball at
Phoenix Hall that night for the relief of the
destitute sufferers, but by reason of the
short notice, the fact that it was Sunday
and several other causes, apparent and pre-
sumed, the affair was failure. This reflects
no discredit upon Mr.. Gray, however, for
the spirit which prompted his action and
the enegry he displayed in endeavoring to
secure immediate succor for fellow crea-
lures sadly in need of assistance attests his
large heartedness and sympathetic nature,
and he is entitled to just as much praise as
if his efforts in the cause of humanity had
been crowned with the greatest success.
Painful AccIDEsr.-Mr. Henry Lear, a
young man well known in this vicinity,
whose father is an old and much respected
citizen Of upper. st. James, met with a
painful accident this fosSFoon at the sugar
house of Messrs. Trahan & DaigIe, in the
parish of Iberville, where he has been en-
ployed as an engineer. Mr.. Lear was
tightening q loose nut about the sugar mill
and vuua prlJ;p,, xy;tI,eo oil IL. .tran,,4l, ~,

slipped its hold and the young man fell
suddenly backwards, striking his head
violently against some bolts, cutting three
ugly gashes in his scalp and knocking him
senseless. He lay in such close proximity
to the fy<wheel of the engine that it struck
him with considerable force on the shoulder
at every revolution, inficting severe con-
tusions on that portion of his body. The
engine was promptly stopped by q young
man assisting Mr.. Lear in his work, and
the latter was carried to bed, where he re-
NAMED unconscious for about three hours
Two physicians were summoned, who ex-
amined and dressed the wounds, pronoun-
cling them serious, but by no means of a
character to warrant fears of fatal result
Blessed with the tender ministratIons of a
wife and mother in addition to the most
skillful medical treatment, the Injured
man will doubtless gladden. the hearts of
his relatives and friends by speedy re-
co-ery. We congratulate him and them

The weather has been very mild for the
season up to date, and if the coming win
ter is to be a severe one, as has been pre-
dicted, it bids fair also to be short one.
We believe the frost signal of the local
branch of the weather bureau has been dis
played but once, and we have the authority
of several early risers for the statement
that there has been only single frost as
Jet, and that of light character. Many
cisterns are empty again and the recent
demand for river water is reyiving. Sugar
house ponds have to be supplied with water
from the river as general rule, but other
wise the weather is highly favorable for the
work of taking off the cane crop.
