A NEW TORPEDO BoAT-A wonderful
torpedo boat is said to be approaching COM
pletion at Fort Lafayette. 1t has been built
under the supervision of the inventor, whose
name has not been made public, and of
Lieut.. Zalinski, who is stationed at Fort
Hamilton. 1t is claimed for this boat, which
is fifty feet long and eight feet in diameter,
and which is shaped like cigar, pointed at
one end and blunt at the ether, that with
its steel beak, and driven with prodigious
power, it will perforate the iron plating of
ship that it can be guided rapidly below
the surface of the water, rise suddenly from
beneath, and cut a hole in the bottom of any
small craft, and that it can blow up an
enemy with dynamite. 1t is said that seve-
raj foreign governments are aware of the
formidable character of this new engine of
destruction, and that China, Russia and
Germany have made overtures looking to
the purchase of the invention.

IMMIGRATION STATIsT1Cs.-The depressed
condition of the labor market in the United
States is to some extent measured by the
decline of immigration. For the seven
months ended July 81, 1885, the number of
immigrants from all countries was 21s,17S,
against 276,690 for the like period ended
July 81, 1854. The chief falling off has been
in the immigration from Germany, which
in the period named is 1855 for 1886,
against 1O7, 167 for 1854. There is a decline
also of about 1000 for the United Kingdom
but for Italy, Sweden, Norway, Russia. Fin.
land, Poland, Bohemia, Hungarysand Aus
tria the figures are substantially unchanged.
The moral, if there be moral, of the decline
in the immigration from Germany, for in
stance, is to be sought, it seems, not in the
high taxes and severe military service of
the new empire, as is SO often alleged, but
in the diminished prospects of improving
ones condition presented to the enterpris-
ing German by the present business situa.
ton in this country.

The CAROLINE ISLANDs.-The Caroline
Islands are remarbah group of coral for
nations in the northern Pacific. They are
perhaps of no great strategic Importance,
since they lie on the road to nowhere in par
ticular; but from the point of view of the
archeologist they are interesting in the ex.
treme. Certain Dutch navigators, who Wis
tied them nearly generation ago, returned
to Europe with wonderful stories concern
ing the ruins that had been discovered on
some Of the smaller islets at the eastern end
of the archipelago; but it was not until 1883
that anything approaching to systematic
survey of the group was undertaken. In
that year her majesty's ship Espiegle touch
ed at many of the islands, and those officers
who went ashore found that the magnii
cence of the remains had not been exag
gerated. The most imposing ruins are
at Metalanim Harbor, in Ponape, and
at Chabrol Harbor, in Kusale; and IN
idea of their grandeur may be formed from
the fact that some OF the stones Of
the buildings measure as much as 35 feet
long by 90 feet broad and Is feet thick. They
are ornamented with rude sculptures, which
bear family resemblance to the well known
sculptures of Easter Island, in the Southern
Pacific, yet Easter Island and the Carolines
are fully 5000 miles apart, and, so far as is
discoverable, there has never been any COM
munication between them. The object and
origin of the monuments are alike unknown.
The Caroline group, which was discovered
by Spain in 1926, has hitherto: even by Ger
man geographers, been regarded as Span
ish possession, although for years there have
been no Spanish residents on any of the is
lands. The extent of the land surface Of
the group is rather more than 800 square
miles and the estimated population is about
$4,000 souls, all of whom are of the Malay
race.-& James Gazette.

SIX ACRES OF CRABs.-The inlet in Shin

son. This has resulted in great loss to the
net fishermen and eelpot fishermen of Good
Ground. The seaweed is dying sll over the
bay, and the promise for good duck. shoot.
ing this fall is very slim. Owing to the
brackish condition of the water in the bay
the crabs are having hard time OIL. For
several days past the beach at the old inlet
has been covered with crabs that were ap.
parently migrating from the bay to the
ocean. In one place over six acres of sand
beach were so closely covered with the crabs
that they touched each other.

The PHILADELPHIA american says: sit
is true that the republican vote in the
next House is not strong enough to carry
such a measure as the Blair bill" But il
otherwise, it is by no means certain that
bill would pass, as the republican leader in
the last House, Mr.. Hiscock, of New York,
opposed its consideration, and as his aid Mr..
Reed, of Maine, said his people were not at
all interested in it. The democrats, how
ever, will pass it, if they can reach it before
adjournment, which it was impossible for
them to do at the last session.

to republicans.

THE CHICAGO NeaUs, in speaking of the
late visit of the junior Virginia Senator to
that city, says: "Mr. Riddleberger has the
proper idea for Virginia republican to
have concerning the national administra-
ton. He looks with awe and horror at the
appointment of democratic ex-confederates
to Virginia post Offices" And yet Mr.. Rid
dleberger is an ex-Confederate. But, as his
boss prevented, by his one single vote, the
repeal Of the statute prohibiting Exon
federates from holding commissions in the
army, he could do nothing less than oppose
their appointment as postmasters. The
hatred of General Malone and Senator
Riddleberger for their old comrades is not
at all strange; but it is strange that enter
tanning that hatred they should persist in
asking the support of ex Confederates.

a Gloomy Picture.

A writer in the New York Sun gives some
astounding facts as to the condition of work.
ers in iron and miners in the great and opu-
ulent State of Pennsylvania. Those of US
here who complain over ''hard times" should
read the following statement with thank
full feeling:
SIN the coal and iron regions, says our au-
thority, mans wages range from $l4 to
$35 q month. The best paid iron miners
are making about s14, and the best paid
coal miners about S35. The prevailing rate
of wages in the iron mines is seventy cents
q day. The amount of money which each
individual has for food, clothing, medicine,
and all necessaries, counting three adults to
a family, man, his wife and two children,
ranges from ten cents to thrty-four cents q
day. A miner has work for from ten to twenty
days in the iron and anthracite regions, and
it is the half or two-thirds time which
makes the rate of wages meaningless.
Rents are high. A man whose monthly in
come is $40 pays 81 for rent, and in some
places rents run up to SIS and $50. Five
dollars month is the amount charged gen.
orally by the companies for the tenemens
which they own"
This is dismal picture, and it grows still
darker and more gloomy as our author
paints the dangers which attend the miners
at their work, and the squalid novels in
which they and the iron makers are con-
strained to live. Demagogues may talk
about the ''pauper labor of Europe" and the
starvation wages given men abroad but we
need not cross the Atlantic to find what is
depicted on this subject by the imitators of
Mr. Greeley. "From ten to thirty-four cents
day" sounds strangely in this country as
the reward of q white mans labor; and it
makes better comment On the ford ro-
nance of protection" Pennsylvania is the
stronghold of this doctrine, and yet the peo-
pie who most contribute to her wealth are
ground down to the point of starvation.
Looking at facts like those set forth above
the people of this region have great cause
to be thankful, as we have said, for we have
benign climate; and the wages of labor
have not yet reached the zero indicated
among the miners and iron. makers Of the
Keystone State.-Norfolk Landmark.
