NEW ENGLAND ROADS.
Some Considerations of Interest to Every
Rural Community.
[From the sprlngtield RepuhlIcan.l

From the Springfield Republican,
William G. Prime, who has travelled all
over the world and written most interest
ingly Of his travels, and who has a cabin
at Lonesome lake in the Franconia notch
has been driving through northern and
central Vermont and narrates some of his
experiences 'along New England roads"
in the New York journal Of Commerce,
of which he is one of the editors. He
notes the great increase in country travel
of late years,-that is of persons travel
ing for pleasure who have discovered that
all enjoyment is not cOmprehended by a
Pullman palace car and Il railroad speed
of forty miles an hour He found good
many feather beds in the country taverns,
although some had been discarded for
modern mattresses, but cleanliness pre-
walls, and he says that in an experience
of thousands of miles in New England he
has seldom to note an unHean country
inn. As 10 food, he passes this just retiec-
ton
Food in abundance everywhere and of
the best quality. Good bread and milk,
fresh eggs, fruits, vegetables, preserved or
cooked fruits, cake made in great variety,
these are found on every table. There
has been in former years u universal idea
that beet steak was essential to a travel

ed beef, however good in flavor, is gene.
rally very tough and hard The certainty
of the appearance of this tough beef
steak, fried of course (for broiling is un
known in the north country, has led me
to adopt the custom of saying when en-
ter the inn, Don't give us any beef"

in Europe or America finer mutton OF
lamb than has been abundant with us al
along our drive this autumn"
Mr.. Prime finds fault justly with coun.
try roads. They are fairly good espec
tally in Vermont" but he thinks they are
growing poorer perhaps because tn,
towns are growing poorer" This is hard
ly the case, for the Vermont towns are
yearly growing more productive and rich
er, and, as Mr., Prime says, "the wors
mud-holes are frequently in front of goot
farm-houses." He draws severe pic

If the weather wisdom of an Old sea cap.
tain is good for anything, we shall have Il
warm fail and winter. He says that the
prevailing winds Immediately after the
eqlnOctial indicate the general direction of
the wind until the sun crosses the line
again. This year those winds were south
erly and southwesterly. The weather
since september % certainly bears on his
assertion, as far as it goes.
In Oconee county Ga, the other day, IL
justice Of the peace got badly mixed in
marrying two couples of colored citizens
The two men and the two women who
wanted to be joined in matrimony were
standing up together, and the justice
married one of the women to both men
and both the women to the other man.
Now the men don't know which of the
women to live with, and the justice is
working hard to get matters Strengthened
out.

have thus established the absolute
accuracy of our statement, SO far as
the material allegation is concerned,
and it is now in order for the "Ga-
zette'' to apologize. Our contempora-
ry deals with a period of seventeen
months, namely, from January l, 1884,
to May 81, 1885, while the ADVERT
SER dealt simply with the twelve
months from June l, 1884, to
May 81, 1885. For its own purpose,
we presume, it mixed up these two
periods, for we should be 10th to i'm
pute stupidity, which is the only al
tentative explanation. The fact re-
mains, that in the twelve months
ended May 81, 1885, the net increase
of the Chinese population of these is
lands by steam and sailing vessels,
males, females and children, was only
474, and it will be observed that the
bulk of arrivals was during the
months of March, April and May.
The explanation of this is simple
enough. The statement CT planters
regarding scarcity of labor excited
the Chinese colony very much, and
they wrote to their friends in China
to return, the result being an unusu-
ally large number of arrivals with re-
turn passports in the past four
months. 1t will be remembered that
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson, ia his
letter of October 81, 1884, to the
Planters Labor and Supply Com
pany, estimated the number of Chi
nese who would probably return on
passports at 1000, so that the arrivals
in excess Of the departures do not yet
come up to that estimate. During
June last, the arrivals OF Chinese
were 155; departures, Is; net increase
last month, 139.
We have thus disposed of the ques-
ton of veracity. Space does not adj
NIT of further discussing the question
of policy, which really is the ma.
terial point at issue, although the
Gazette" suggests that a discussion
of policy is "crossing the scent" We
shall revert to the subject, however
and endeavor to throw light upon the
seventeen months Chinese immigra
ton returns which the pro Chimes
labor organ fonldes so lovingly. We
shall show just who was responsible
for the Chinese invasion early il
1884, and who put stop to it. The
! facts tell against the "Gazette 81
hackers and in favor of the Admins
tration.

Departure OF the Alameda.

There was al unusually large number
of people on the steamer and wharf yes
terday bidding farewell to friends. Among
them were His Majesty the King, II. R.
II. Princess Liliuokalani and Governor
Dominis, the Minister of Foreign Affairs
and Finance, and the Attorney General;
the relatives and friends of Miss Annis
Montague and Mr.. Turner; whole host
of friends of Mr.. Mckinley, and of the
ladies and gentlemen who have been
visiting the islands, besides a large num-
Der of Eaan1ainas, who were saying
goodbye to the Hawaiians who were
going to the Coast.
The side of the upper deck of the
steamer, as she moved away from the
wharf, was lined with passengers, who
were covered with garlands and leis of
bright flowers, a sight not to be seen in
any other part of the world. By reference
to the passenger list it will be seen that
there is talent enough on board to carry
on musical and vocal concerts, prayer
meetings, theatrical performances and
school classes without end, provided the
weather is fine. Among the pieces played
by the band was a partly vocal piece
"Good-bye, Charley" sung in compli-
ment to Mr.. Turner.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

A question of veracity has arisen
between the ADVERTISER and the
"Gazetter on the subject of Chinese
immigration. We stated that "dur-
ing the year ending May 31st, the
arrivals of Chinese had been 1882,
while the departures had been 1888;
net gain of Chinese population dur
ing the twelve months ended May
81, 1885, 500" The "Gazette" char
acterizes this as Gan astounding
statement" and charges us with
"wilfully giving currency to a false
statement" Now, this is a very Sc
rious accusation, and if it were true
it would deservedly leave us open to
general and unequivocal censure. It
is not true, however, and our con-
temporary has mixed its figures up
like the babies in "Pinafore." The
following return of Chinese immigra-
ton has been prepared by the Custom
House authorities without reference
to this controversy, and should be ac-
cepted as final by our contemporary
and all intelligent people:

DOMESTIC EXPORTS.

We are enabled to-day, to publish
the detailed statement of domestic ex-
ports, an approximation to which
was printed by US yesterday. The
result justifies our statement that the
returns from the outpOrts would in
crease the estimated totals. This we
find to be the case. We estimated
the export value for the June quarter,
upon the basis explained yesterday,
at $3,175,709 81. The actual value as
per Custom House figures was So, 49,
152 09-an increase of 1888, $50 81,
compared with the corresponding pc
Rod of 1884, instead of $3.50, 286 Is, as
per the ADVERTISERS estimate.
This is far better showing than
had been anticipated. Nevertheless,
except in the single item of sugar, a
few bananas and sheep-skins, there
was serious falIing-of in miscella-
neous exports in the past half year.
Such q general result is discouraging.
There should be more evidence of
general productive industry than
these figures exhibit. If the country
is to depend upon the single industry
of sugar, its future is easily foreshad-
owed. There will be few rich cor
porations aud individuals, and large
labor population doing their drudg-
