Western View Of New England.

The native population of most Of the
the Massachusetts towns is composed OF
old men and women, advanced spinsters,
and few hopeless old bachelors, most
~ too impecunious or shiftless to marry
any one. The young, stalwart men do
not remain in New England. There is
little for them to do in farming. Man
ufactories are filed with Irish and Can
adian French. In the cities there are
not sufficient opportunities for them to
rise. There being no inducements to
remain in New England they
leave for the West. Michigan,
Northern IL !linois, Wisconsin, Min
nesota and Iowa are FUN of them, to
such an extent that some towns are
more New England in character than
New England localities themselves.

The inquiry is suggested by q finan-
cial writer, in view of tho recent wall
street "shrinkages" Of supposed great
fortunes, whether Or not, if bottom
facts were known, we have as many mil
lionaires III this country as we are ac-
customed to think. The men reputed
to be immensely wealthy carry big loads
OF stock, as rule, and it is very diff
cult to say what proportion of their
value is real, and what is merely fcti-
tio,,s and liable to take to itself wings
at any unlucky moment. A recent
careful writer expresses the opinion
that there are probably not q dozen

The late disasters on the ocean have
had an effect on foreign travel, Many
people countermanded orders for state
rooms after the loss of the Florida.
The tightness of money, the anticipa-
tion of further trouble in Wall Street,
and the presidential election have kept
many people ut home. People who did
20 abroad are returning much earlier
than usual, and agents attribute that to
Wall street also. Travel in the United

The liabilities are set down at So, 215,-

and Mrs. Fred Grant, 50, 900. The air

French Dislikes Of Gen. Grant.

Rochefort, editor of the Paris Intransigeant,
continues violent attacks upon Gen. Grant 1t
is reported that his reason is that Grant re-
fused to receive him when in Hmerica Ro-
chefort, in replying in his journal to the state
ment regarding Gen. Grant, says
I never solicited Gen. Grant for an audience
would have received one, but guarded my
self from accepting. would notforget how, as
president of the United States during the war of
1870, he lost no chance to show his hostility to
France. Not only were our defeats salutea at
the White House by toasts to German success
es, but Washburne, American minister to
France, abused without shame his diplomatic
immunity, and made himself an active agent
of Bismarck, and twice week passed
through his hands advices of the state of
the siege addressed to King William. Keratry,
now project of Police at Paris, arrest
ed several American agents who were
spies in the service Of Prussia and
whom he expelled from the country. In
1873, President Grant was entertained at
a state dinner in Berlin, following a
review of German troops given in his honor.
He proposed a toast to the Emperor Bismarck
andthe German army which had beaten France,
saying: ''and after what we have just seen,
will always beat her" This style of the recog-
milton of the services Of France during the
struggle for American independence arose from,
the need grant felt to manage the German vote
in his campaign for third presidential term.
Rochefort's statements are attracting unusll-
al attention in Paris.

disclose scarcity Of wheat in the
country that had not been
dreamed Of. They show that in
every section the mills are short Of
wheat, instead of having surplus stock
as in former years, and that in three
sections the mills will require all that
is raised this year, no matter how large
the crop may be. Probably never be-
fore has there been such a general
scarcity Of wheat at milling points, This
scarcity among the n,illers will go tow

According to the report Of Consul
Tanner, our exports of butter to England
fell from $4,000 tons in 1880 to 2 800
IONS in 1852. He ascribes this princi-
pally to the attacks made on the Amer
lean provision trade when a German
excluded our hog products, and which
attacks mat srially affected every inter
est we have in the provision supply for
export. He predicts that America will
eventually regain the trade by supplying
a better quality Of products than any
other country can furnish. This is a
hint to the oieomargarine makers to
brand their goods honestly and let the

Col. J. O. r. Burnside, disbursing officer Of
the postofice department, was on Thursday
the goth, removed from Office and arrested on
the charge of embezzlement The amount. as
stated by himself, will exceed 600, and as
is usual in such cases the Trouble is traced to
speculation in Wall street stocks. and probably
has some connection with the late Lewis brok-
er swindle. This is the third case of embez-
element in this same department and same Of
fce. o. P. Burnside was appointed d third
class clerk in the postoffice department June,
1869. He has been a prominent social figure in
Washington. Some days since Postmaster Gen
eral Gresham learned that Burnside was spec
ulating and called upon him for an explanation,
which was plausible, but not satisfactory, and
Gen. Gresham immediately ordered an investi-
cation, which developed discrepancy of $45,-
coo. At a preliminary trial he was held in $45,-
600 bail His bondsmen are good for the am-
cunt of embezzlement The accounts of Burn
side were audited at the treasury department.
and postoffice Officials say the shortage should
have been discovered before.
