N. o. Chronicle.
The statistics of immigration for
the year just closed reveal many euri-
GUS facts. The total number Of i'm.
migrants was 390,400, as against
445, 450 in 1889 and AL, ,084 in 1881.
Of these, l46,837 settled in New
York State, more than four times as
many as in any other State in the
Union. 1t is somewhat surprising to
learn that less than 10000 of these
remained in this city. OF those who
did so, 10000 were German, English
and Irish servant girls. The next
State in number is Pennsylvania,
which took 35,5ls;. and the third,
Illinois, whose accessionsg amounted
to about 10000. Next in order
comes Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Michigan, Massachusetts and Iowa,
each of which received over 10000.
Of the remainder, New Jersey, Con
necticut and Missouri received over
5000 each, and Nebraska very nearly
that number. OF the Southern States
only Texas, Maryland and Kentucky
received over 1000.
Germany leads the list of national
tiles with .l56,2l9, while ireland,
England, Italy, Sweden, Norway and
Hungary contributed altogether about
as many. 1t must be remembered
that the port of New York, while a
good indicator in regard TO immigra-
tion from other countries, gets almost

The marked predominance of German
is a great fact which
should have its moral as we'll for
Europe as for America. The large
number from Italy-23, ,856--is great
er than that from any other country
except Germany, Ireland and Eng

together contributed $4,000, and Den

SATURDAY FEBRUARY
THE DEAD BABY.

There's mourning in the little cottage,
There's Grape upon the door;
There's weeping In the little household,
From hearts by grief made sore.
A little easket In the parlOr,
A little baby face,
Once full Of beaming smiles and sunshine,
Now cold in DEATHS embrace
A mothers heart is sore and lonely,
Grief bows fathers head,
While In their anguish and their sorrow
They bend above their dead
Those little hands so calmly folded
Across the little breast,
Those little hands 80 plump and dimpled,
Are evermore at rest.
She came, blessed gift from Heaven
A gift from God above,
To Join two hearts in closer union
With stronger ties Of love.
She passed away through deaths dark portal
To be beacon bright,
To guide her parents souls to heaven,
To mansions of delight
An angel form now hoVers over
That sorrow stricken home,
And points with dimpled baby finger
To Heavens glittering dome.
An angel voice in baby accents
Speaks; Lift your weeping eyes,
And see your angel baby waiting
For you up in the skies"

"RIGHT SMART OF BEARS"
On the deck of big Mississippi steamboat
| stood an aged Southern planter. Indicating
| by sweep of his arm the waters the boat
| was passing over, he said to passenger from
the North: :" When | was twelve years old
Killed my first bear on new plantation my
father was then cutting out of a foFoSt that
grew directly over the waters of this bend.
That was a mighty good plantation, and
there was right smart of bears there, too
But that one thousand acres of land went
into the Mississippi years ago.
II is putting no strain upon the figure to
say that great forests of youthful hope, wO-
manly beauty and manly strength are swept
In the same way every year into the great,
turbid torrent OF disease and death. Yetit
should not be SO. That it is so is digrace
as well as loss. People are largely too
careless or too stupid to defend their own in
terests-the most precious Of which is health.
That gone, all is gone. Disease is simple,
but to recklessnesS or ignorance the simp plest
things might as well be complex as 4 prOpO
sittOn in Comic Sections As the huge Western
rivers, which so often food the cities along
their shores, arise in few mountain springs,
so all our ailments can be traced to impure
blood and a small group Of disordered organs
The most effective and inclusive remedy
for disease is PARE IA EkR'S TONIC
II goes to the sources Of pain and weakness
In response to its action, the liver, kidneys,
stomach and heart begin their work afresh,
and disease is driven out The Tonic is not,
however, an intOxiCant, but cures a desire

rheumatism, or troubles which have refused
to yield to other agentsf Here is your help.
