sought 70 put a stop 10 the enormous
robbery oi the Government which has
been going on for years. II had been
the custum to make an alleged exana
ination of the accounts Of United
States Marshals, but in nearly all cases
the examiners were blinded by the
delinquent officials and nothing re-
suited but a favorable report. The
present administration of the depart.
menet undertook different method.
"Through the capable and complete
work of Brewster Cameron aud his ex.
aminers under the direction Of the At.
torney General many cases OF plum.
dering by Marshals have been exposed.
Some OF these have already been
published IN the Times. The fact have
all been laid before the President and
in some cases action was taken by him.
II is a matter Of common understanding
however, that he refused TO act ia somc
other cases. When the Strobach case
in Alabama--onc of the worst OF all
was laid bare the President declined
action, although the name OF Sirobachn
had been cent 10 the Senate Tor con

is stated that when the facts were made
up Secretary Chandler went to the De
parlment Of Justice aud insisted that
the work would have 70 stop. WheI
told that the department vas only do
ing its duty and should have to con
tjnuc doing it, Chandler threatened
that the place would be cleaned out.
II j. said, al.o, ths, George Bliss whose
position in the Star route cases j. more
than suspected made similar threats
in the depart ncnt. The exposure Of
official robicyy in the South was inter
fering with hTthur's plans for rcuomi.
nation aud every effort was made 10
cast odium upon the Department Of
Justice. Chandler and Bliss were very
busy working the Newspaper up TO toe
attacks, particularly upon Brewster
Cameron, and many reputable papers
were misled into serving them.
There Is a better knoEledgc Of the
situttion now. Nobody misunderstAnds
the attitude OF the President toward
tho Attorney General and the reasons
for IL. II is the difference between the
methods Of officials who seek 10 do
their duty TO the public"

Some Political Probabilities.

The possibilities Of the coming cam

course this means that the red vest OF

Lilly to become candidate for Office
will never 60 begging. In fact Il Is
altogether likely that II the invitation
had been delayd day ro two longer
the general would have turned up - a
candidate on bis own account. II is
doubtful, however, If his candidacy will
extend beyond the convention. In
parceliug out the Offices this year Quay
is likely to put 80 important one a.
that in question where it will do more
good than ia the hands OF General
Lilly.
But there are other troubles impcn.
ding that are likely to be less easily
adjusted. Colonel Quay has quietly
given notice that several Congressman
are to be retired. The most prominent
among these Is Judge Kelley. The one
absorbing idea Of the old man is to die
in h,rness, but u1less the summons
comes during his present term that
fond ambition will be disappointed.

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.

The Past Year shows Marked Improve
ment in the Glass of Aliens Who Desire
to Become Citizens of this Republic.
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Of the 800, 800
aliens who arrived during the year, it is es-
timated that less than five thousand re-
turned, while over forty thousand persons
have come to America during the year from
foreign lands who had in previous years
settled in the United States, but
returned again to their homes in
the old country. Persons of this
class are not placed on the records
as aliens, and are not included under the
head of Immigrants. Germany has during
the present year, as in former years, sent
the most desirable class of immigrants, and,
i'm point of numbers, has also eXcelled all
other foreign nations. The British Isles
follow Germany closely, both in character
and number of immigrants; and it is pre-
dicted that both these nations will, during
the approaching year, furnish to the United
States larger number of desirable labor
ers than ever before, owing to the I'M
settled condition of affairs in the Old
World. Belgium, while sending but
fifteen hundred of her subjects, has fur
nished a class which has not been eXcelled
by any nation save the two mentioned. 1t
Is particularly nOtlceaDle tllat no lault mas
been found with single immigrant from
Belgium during the past year, although
nearly all have been supplied with employ
ment by the Labor Bureau at Castle Garden.
The number of arrivals for the year,
with an estimate for the last week in De-
cember, amounts to 800, 400, against 49,.
$50 for the previous year, and 44l,O64 for
1881.
While immigration has decreased, the peo-
| pie who have arrived are of far better class
| than have been landed on these shores for
over ten years. There is a marked decrease
in the arrivals of the pauper elemetn, while
skilled laborers from all countries have
come in larger numbers than be-
fore. Germany, especially, has sent
skilled mechanics, who have been
employed in factories throughout
the country at wages far in excess of those
paid for the same labor in the old country.
Another noticeable feature OF the present
years immigration has been the influx of
well-to-do farmers from the British Isles,
especially Scotland, who have purchased
their own lands in the West and with their
families have settled down to life OF In
! dustry.

Insects Wings.

There is nothing more delicate than
the wings of insects. They are like
gauze, but they have framework that
makes them quite firm, just as the
leaves on the trees are firm from the
little ribs that are in them.
Those wings are all covered with hair.
You could see it under the magnifying-
glass, but not without.
In some small gnats the hairs spring
from each side of the veins, like butter
flies feathers, or like blossoms on the
twigs in spring-time.
Even the wing of common fly is
very beautiful Did you ever notice
that if you take butterfly by the wings
a colored dust is all over your fingers?
Then the wings are left transparent
where they have been touched. II you
should put some of this dust on a slip
of glass and examine it you would find
that each particle is little scale of reg
ular form and sometimes most beaud-
fully shaped. But the insect flies just
as well without the dust.
Besides his regular wings the fly has
others for sails. They are all lifted by
a great number of little tough muscles
in his sides Thus he moves in the air
and darts away. Before he goes he
''plumes' his wings just like a bird
