side of the exchange bureau and the
whole thing described to him about
nine separate times. Put the same
suspicious man in the hands of a
shrewd rascal outside conversant with
Swedish, and that money would change
ownership in a very y-short order. 1t IS
common saying at the Garden that
an immigrant knows more when he
arrives there than he ever does after
ward. You can not teach him any
thing. If he is in the tolls of q swim
dler, and you try to warn him in time
to save himself, he will refuse to be-
lleve you. The most successful SWIM
dlers who operate among the immi-
grants lay the foundation of their
work with letters and circulars sent
across the ocean.
What are the immigrants first inn
pressions Of this country? Most of
them are very matter of fact. The
pleasing fiction that they come here ex-
pecting to pick up money in the streets
Is a wild romance. They do expect to
make money, and they have a linger-
ing hope that it will come without
much work. They walk out and view
the butt end of the city and 60 back
much disappointed. 1t isn't half so
fine as they thought it would be, they
say, and they compare it unfavorably
with London OF Paris or Berlin, or
whatever city they are familiar with.
Those who stay at the Garden long
enough to get acquainted with the
sharpers who are constantly on the
watch there or thereabouts for victims
come to believe that New York is quite
a lively town after all. The Labor
Bureau bum' is a well known charac-
ter. A ticket from the Labor Bureau
gives him entry there every night, and
he houses himself there as long as he
can scrape up money to buy food.
Then he wants to be sent back to
Europe. He is a sort of local tramp,
with the tramp's aversion to real work.

Even General Gordon, whom the
exigencies of British politics exalted
to the rank of a martyr and hero of
almost superhuman excellence, did not
seem altogether admirable to all who
knew him. For example, Judge George
s. Bachelor, the American represen-
tative in the International tribunal at
Cairo, who has just returned to New
York, brought back with him not
very favorable opinion Of the general.
He says General Gordon, whom he saw
and of whom he heard so much from
those who knew him well, cared for
nobody but himself, and had the same
disregard of death as the orientals
among whom chad lived forso many
years. He was pious, but bloody,
and would have made the Soudan
gtoan with his despotism if fate had
not cut short his career in Khartoum.
ITO us in Cairo,' says Judge Bachel-
der, che was anything but a hero.

struction by disobeying orders"

Extent of Human Travel.
from the Popular Science Monthly.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
The movement of persons has under
gone quiet as important a growth as
that of goods. In the "Reviewing of
the Worlds Economy" the number of
passengers carried by all the railroads
in all parts of the world in 1882 is
estimated at 4OO,OOO,OOO, OF an
average of 100000 a day, the alb
solute number of passengers carried
on steamers Is smaller; but here as
was the case with goods, they are car
ried for longer distances and more
days journeys than on railroads, SO
that, estimated by the mile or day,
the amount of both freight and pas
senger work the steamers do will adj
pear to much better advantage. The
significance of the facilitation of pas
senger transportation is divided princl-
pally from it's effects on social con-
ditions civilizations and customs.
One of the most important of these
effects is illustrated in emigra-
ton, which has assumed dimen-
sions under the operations of
the new methods of communication.
OF twelve and half million emigrants
who went to the United States between
the recognition OF their independence
and 1883, not more than a million be-
long to the time previous to the estab-
lishment of regular passenger COM
munications by steamer with Europe
about 1884. AS a result of the es-
tablishment of this method of com,
munication, and of the building of the
railroads that opened the Mississippi
Valley and the western part of the
continent, emigration assumed collos-
sal proportions. Besides the ameli-
oration of the voyage, which has be
come an affair of not more than ten
or twelve days for an emigrant vessel,
the improved fare the cheaper rate of
passage and the punctuality and in
creased safety. of the transit may be
marked and circumstances contribut-
ing to this result.

The Origin of Lawn Tennis.

From the London Truth.
How few lawn tennis players know
who originated the game and where
the first game was played? This ex-
cellent pastime has now been in exist
ence for ten years, and it has prob
ably been greater source of amuse-
ment than anything of the kind ever
invented. The originator and in
ventor was Maj. Walter Wingfeld, OF
Her Majesuy's Body Guard, who in
1874 wrote little book, compiled a
set of rules, and coined the outlandish
name "Sphairistike." The first game
ever played was in 1874, at Col. Nay
lor Leyland's house in Denbighshire.
The first public game ever played in
this country was at Princes Ground,
in the summer of 1875, the players
being Maj. Wingfeld, Mr.. Clement
Scott, Capt. Alfred Thompson and Mr..
Albany Erskine. 1t was openly jeered
at by a crowd of racket and cricket
celebrities, who did their utmost to
ridicule the game in every way. But
in less than one month two courts
were taken at Princes for every ilour
in the day. and the racket players and
cricketers had to 'ssing small"

Col. Fred. D. Grant he r,an;

Col. Fred. D. Grant has manned out
work that shall be supplemental to
his fathers book upon the inner his
tory OF our armies during the rebell-
ion. Lne colonel is in possession of
an immense amount of material bear
ing upon matters that arelittle known
to the public; and yet that are of
great public interest, and from these
purposes compiling a book that will
give the record of his father during the
time of reconstruction and the subse-
quent eight years of his presidency.
Many interesting points will be drawn
from Gen. Grant private correspond
ence while he was president-points
that will throw light upon the hidden
secrets of that time. Col. Grant will
try to condense this matter into a
volume OF 500 pages, connecting the
private and official documents by a
necessary thread of explanation, but
he will find impossible to present in SO
confined a space even the more impor-
tant papers that will be requ red to
clearly define the personal and politi-
cal situation OF his father during those
years. In compiling this work he
closely will follow the plan laid down
for him by the general, with whom he
has discussed the subject frequently
and thoroughly, and there is, therefore
every reason TO believe that the result
will be satisfactory to himself and of
value to the public. More interesting,
perhaps, than Gen. Grants book, to
the great mass of readers.

SOLITUDE

Happy the man whose wish and core
A few paternal acres bound,
Content to breathe his native air
In his own ground
Whose herds with milk, whose fields with
bread,
Whose focks supply him with attire;
Whose trees in summer yield him shade,
In winter, fire
Blest, who can unconcern'dly find
Hours, days and years slide soft away
In health OF body, peace OF mind,
Quiet by day,
Sound sleep by night; study and ease
Together mixed; sweet recreation,
And innocence, which most does please
With meditation.
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where lie. Pope.

Mr.. Stephen D. Elkins, a somewhat
noted politician, thinks that parties
will have to grapple with the labor
euestion-that it is a live issue that
must be met. He says that 'thep price
of labor has come to be computed on
the basis of what it costs the laborer
to iNe-a situation which cannot en-
dure Eith the degree of education pre-
vailing in this country. Mr.. Elkin's
remedy is cooperation and combina-
tion, making capital and labor har-
monious instead of antagonistic."
