With ,he end of November .he season of immigration into the United States comes to an end.

Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans and San Francisco, as against s6,S75 al the same ports last year, while the total available statistics for the year show the arrival of ,so,II7 last year, with further increase ye, to be added for November.
 Among the features of immigration are the facts that immigration from Ger many has fallen of, that from Scandi- na,ia has largely increased, while that from Great Britain is 10 all the rest as one to two.

One of the brothers was in possession Of
a passport, as well as bankers letter
of recommendation but the village
officials would not accept these as proof
of identity, and the Procureur of Oloron
when ordering their release, refused to
grant any redress, on the score that the
passport was not use for France, and
the bankers letter was printed and not
written. This may be strict French
law, but l should like to see the matter
taken up.-London Truth.

THE MINE MULE.
The Sport Created by the Descent of
Mule to the Depths Below.

The Sport Created by the Descent of q
Mule to the Depths Below.
One of the most amusing and at the
same time most pitiful sights to be
seen about the coal mines, says cor
respondent waiting from Nanticoke, is
the descent of a mule to the depths be-
low. The shaft is, say, six hundred feet
deep, and yawns at ones feet like spot
of ink on the ground. A car lowered
and raised by perpendicular wire cable
shoots up and down with breathless
velocity. On the car is fastened mar
row stall, with iron bars, which can be
fastened across the entrance. By va
rious methods the unfortunate mule is
brought as far as the mouth of the shaft,
but when he sees the CARRIE knows what
it means. That mule fully realizes that
if he walks aboard he will never see
daylight again, and will have to work
in the dark, as only mine mule mast.
So he kicks. Argument is useless, per-
suasion falls ,On deaf cars. He kicks
with yigor and precision that means
business His heels are battery that
would tcrrify even the fatalistic valor Of
q follower of the Mahdi.
But long beam is brought and one
end put against one of the uprights at
the side of the shaft. At the other end
four men push, bringing the beam like
lever against the mule IS TANKS. Now
the beasts backbone curves until his
head is next his tail, and his four feet,
planted firmly together, seem riveted
to the ground. The beam is decided
failure, though two men are at the same
time Juggling at halter But there is
another resource. Even mule resist
ance can be overcome by steam power
A rope is fastened around the mules
neck and looped around those vicious
hind legs. Then a steam windlass is
slowly turned and the unluclly beast is
dragged on the ear. The iron bars are
put up, bell rings, and the car drops
downward, while last melancholy
bray floats up from the black hole.
There is one mule under Wilkesbarre
that has spent twenty-one years of use
full life hauling coal in the dark. The
miners are proud of him, and he has
twice been hoisted to the surface to
walk proudly in miners parades. Mules
do not, as has been often said, go blind
in the mines, but when they are brought
out bandage must be tied over their
eyes for several days.-M T. Com

A BRIDAL GARTER.
An Ancient Alsatian Custom and It's
Disagreeable Results.

Disagreeable Results.
The old custom still prevails at we'd
dings in Alsace for the friends of the
groom to claim the BRIDES garter for
talisman or trophy. This part Of the
ceremony generally takes place at the
wedding meal. Formerly the bride was
obliged to allow one of the young men
to take off her garter in the presence of
all the guests, but in our more prudsh
times she takes it off herself, handing
it to the one best entitled to it. The
garter is then cut into several pieces,
every guest receiving his portion. The
ladies wear it on the left breast, the men
zen boutonniere." All guests wear this
token during the festivities. Recently
the niece of the burgomaster of Ortsche-
heller, Miss Zimmerman, was married
to a Mr.. Lerbs, of Ullenheim. During
the dessert the garter was cut and di-
vided among the guests. 1t was red,
white and blue. Thus each of the
guests was decorated with the French
colors. Some of them promenaded the
streets, and in the evening appeared in
the cafes still wearing the trophy. Sew
eral of the guests, among them the
tavern-keeper, Geist of Schlettstadt,
wore the little ribbon next day on q
railroad trip. A conductor, feeling
himself called upon to make some
unpleasant remarks, Mr.. Geist
retorted with abusive epithets.
The matter was reported to the
prosecuting attorney. The official saw
in the wearing of French eolors upon
the streets and in public places (and
more especially the day after the cele-
bration of French national festival), a
political demonstration; and eonse-
quently caused the arrest of all the par
Elephants in the wedding dinner. The
ten culprits were brought before the pO-
lice magistrate at Colmar. Singularly
enough, the charge was brought under
an old French decree which, under the
Republic, was probably issued against
royalist maneUveTs, prohibiting the
wearing or exhibition of seditious en-
blems under severe penalties. Mr.. Geist
was SCN WtOl
an officer. All the accused admitted
having worn the little ribbons, without
however, noticing its colors; but pro
tested against the assertion that a pc
litical demonstration was intended. The
prosecuting attorney, however, insisted
upon the point, and demanded the pun
ishment Of the accused under the Law
of 1S4S. The defense claimed that thu
wearing of a ribbon in the button-hele
especially upon such an occasion as
wedding, could not be punishable un
der law against the wearing of sedi
tious emblems. The magistrate, more
sensible than the prosecuting attorney
sided with the defense, declaring tina
he could not see the violation of the Law
in question, and discharged the accused
Thus ended this queer attempt of en-
forcing German patriotism in the oil
French province of Alsace.-M. YlHer
