An Indian Girl.

She was not too tall and was finely
formed, though want of food had
marred the once round contour of her
young and shapely limbs. Her hair
was long and of a rich, purplish black.
Her eyes were large, lustrous, full of
natures fire and brightness. Here eve
brows were dark $ her hair and per-
fectly arched. Her lips were full and
of a vivid red. Her teeth, like those
of most Indians, were beautifully reg.
ular and brilliantly white, though tooth
brush had never touched them. They

matted hair fell in long elflocks and
inextricable tangles; twas virgin of a
comb. She looked like "a savage

dusky arms were bare. A few brass
rings ornamented her wrists. Her dress
was composed of two rectangular pieces
of a dark and coarse wooden stuff Dor.

color of Indians. These pieces were
joined at oae end, a place being left
open for the head to pass through. A

her waist. Her feet We're small and
well formed, but truth compeIs me to
confess that they were thickly ~encrnsted

Another Mystery Of the Arctics.

HEA
The Greedy party sailed July z, 1881,
a few days after President Garfield wa
shot. The last news they received at
st. Johns was encouraging, and they be-
lieyed he had recovered. More than
two years elapsed, during which they
were utterly cut off from communities
ton with their fellow men. SO that some
meager scraps which had been used as
wrapping paper, were treasured like
gold. They were spread out, put to-
gether and eagerly scanned. President
Arthur was alluded to, and they then
knew the fatal issue of the assassin's
shot. The loss of the Jeanette was
mentioned, and they supposed the entire
crew had persisted. The word .'dude"
appeared in the print. This was a stun
ner. They had never heard it before,
and many and sharp were the contro-
versies regarding Its Specification. One
of the first interrogations uttered from
the throats of the feeble survivors as
they saw approaching the rescuing
party a what is a dude p"-Cleve-

Immigration Statistics.

The Washington bureau of statistics
has issued a statement showing that
the number of Immigrants arriving in
the United States during the month of
August was 33.14S, against 49, 1888 in
August of last year-a decrease of
1851 per emf. The number of ar
rivals for the eight months ending with
August was $40, $50, against 400. 1853 for
the corresponding period last year-a
decrease of 16. 81 per cent. This marked
falling off in immigration is one of the
indications of the business depression
from which the country is suffering,
and from which there are few signs of
immediate recovery. When times are
dull and wages unsatisfactory and many
men are out of employment in the
United States, the news is not long
crossing the Atlantic. The hundreds
of thousands already here, who have
left friends and relatives behind who
expect to follow some day, send a warn
ing against immediate removal, and so
the current of immigration is checked.
Besides, accounts of the state of trade
and industry are printed in the news
papers, and people contemplating re-
moval to America govern themselves
accordingly. But while this is true,
undoubtedly the strongest force in
checking immigration is the one first
mentioned. Private advices are more
trusted in such matters than newspaper
statements.
The above statement does not show
the whole number of passengers ar
rived during the different periods. The
whole number arrived during the period
of eight months was 47,O57. Of this
number, 1887 were Americans re-
turned from abroad, and 3,517 were
aliens not intending to remain in the
country. Of the immigrants, Germany
still continues to contribute the largest
number. The arrivals from there in
August were 10, Sol, against 1865 in
August, 1883. England and Wales CON
tribute the next largest ,663,
against $50 in August last year. Dur
ing the eight months Germany sent us
III, 772, against 125, 9S7 during the cor
responding period last year. England
and Wales only sent us IS, 402, against
55,529 last year, while Ireland sent us
IS, ia, against 52,317 last yesr.-CAt
