Emigrants at Castle Garden.

The first thing q ncwly-landed emf
grant gets to is the water tank, says q
New York letter. elbow good it tastesv'
shy n and all, as they stop be-
fore the Croton water faucet and drain
the bright tin cup dry. And the first
thing bought is apples, which lie tempt
ingly on the fruit stalls in the Enclosure.
Beyond the rail is a large a%mpitheater
where arc innumerablc wooden seats and
three big stoves. In spaces beyond,
whole families co]ngrcgate, after landing
for days until their place Of destination
Is .deter1hinod, and perhaps because some
OF the party are too exhausted by the
voyage to go further. Connecting are
large lavatories for men and women, and
stationary tubs where they can wash
their clothing. In pleasant weather
Battery Park affords a pleasant lounging
place for the women and children, but in
winter and such weather as this, they re-
main inside by the stoves. The place is
clean, and SO large that 9, 1000 cmigrants
have room without crowding.
Very few of any ships load but what.
after passing inspection, leave at once for
their place of destination determined on
before leaving home. Seldom any but
the Irish remain in the city. Often whole
troops of Bulgarians arc sent to the wood
cutting districts of Pennsylvania, while
agents from mines in the West are wait
ing to take parties of Hungarians and
Poles away. So far as the city is con-
cerncd, but little addition is made to its
population by the arrival of emigrants,
as they usually leave here within a few
hours after landing.
Among the immigrants arriving on
every ship arc scores of young girls who
seek America to better their fortunes and
support those left at home. On their
arrival Mt Castle Garden, these girls are
we'll cared for by the authorities, and SO
far rs possible protected from designing
persons who seek their ruin. Outlines
these are among the ships passengers and
have lngratiated themselves into the con-
fdencc of their unsuspecting prey before
they reach the New World.-Rochester

Pie Not a Yankee Invention.

Pie is not one of the inventions which
a punitive providence left for tho exer-
else of Yankee genius. 1t is very much
older than America, so far as the modern
age knows anything about America. 1t
is French, Spanish, italian, English,
German. It is of the north. 1t was
carried into the British Islands by the
~marauding migrants from the northern
seas. Our W word is a corruption of a
very early British word, and is, in etym-
ology, a first cousin of ''pastie" or
''pasty." Pie is our. name or what is
now moro Familiarity known as tart" in
the land where all was once pasty.
The tart of to-day differs from con-
temporaneous pie only in this: The in
terror of the tart is thicker than the inte-
rior Of the pie. It takes more apples to
make a tart than to make q pie, if the
pie-maker be frugal, as she generally is.
In the European countries the tart is
baked in a deep carthern dish. In YAM
kee land pic is stcwcd into sogginess in q
tin pan.- Chicago Herald.

Tho Horseback Cure.
ever kney

There Is q saying among the Russians
that q man who is fond of his horse will
not grow old early. The Arab and the
Cossack are examples of the truth of the
proverb. They generally live long, en-
joy robust health and have no use for
liver pads and blue pills. That vigorous
o~ctogcnarian, David Dudley Field, tells
us that he attributes his remarkably vi
tality to tho habit of horseback riding,
md if the truth were known, it would
be doubtless appear that our sturdiest
old men are those who have been fond of
the saddle. The taste for equestrian
sports and exercise which has lately made
such progress in Brooklyn is, therefore,
q hopeful and healthful sign. It is not
a mere freak of fashion, but a develop
ment in the direction of rational enjoy
ment and an assurance that the rising
generation will be less of an indoor and
more of an outdoor people. 1t means
less headache hereafter, better appetitcs,
stronger lungs, roster checks, brighter
eyes, sounder sleep, happier spirits, and
a total oblivion of that organ which, &C.
cording to Sidney Smith, keeps men a
good deal lower than tho angels-the
liver.-Brooklyn Eagle

Discretion Of II Highlander.

One day at Blair Athol, tho Duke of
Athol, having entertained a large party
at dinner, produced in the evening many
curious and interesting family relics for
their inspection, among Thorn a small
watch which had belonged to Charles
Stuart, aud had been given by him to
one of the Dukes ancestors. When the
company were on the point of departing,
the watch was suddenly missed, and was
searched for in vain upon the table and
about the apartments. The Duke was
exceedingly vexed and declared that of
all the articles hS had exhibited, the lost
watch was the n he most valued. The
guests naturally became uncomfortable,
and eyed one another suspiciously. No
person was present, however, who could
possibly be suspected, and courtesy for
bade any further step than the marked
expression of the noble hosts extreme
annoyance and distress. The guests de-
parted for their homes in an unenviable
state of mind, and the mysterious disap-
pearance of the royal relic was q subject
of discussion for several months in soci-
ETY.. A year afterward, the Duke being
again at Blair Athol, while dressing for
dinner, felt in the breast pocket of a coat
which his valet handed to him, some
thing which proved to be the missing
watch. "Why, exclaimed his grace,
'there's the watch we hunted in vain for
everywhere last year." eyes, sir"
gravcly replied the valet, IT saw your
grace put it in your pocket" 'You saw
me put it in my pocket and never men,
toned it'll Why didn't you speak at once
and prevent all that trouble and unpleas-
ant feelingw 81 didna ken what might
have been your grace's intentions" was
the reply of the faithful and discreet
Highlander, who saw everything, but
said nothing unless he was directly in
terrogatcd.

: Mr.. Ferguson, of the United States
Fish Commission, is enthusiastic over the
results of the artificial propagation of
shad. He tells a reporter of the Balti-
more Sun that the run this year was the
largest for twenty-five years, and he at
tributes the fact entirely to the fish COM
missions efforts. He says: ''The unprc-
cedented abundance of shad has not beer
confined to the Chesapeake Bay region
but has extended to all rivers which have
been the recipients of the deposits of
young fish from the United States COM
mission. The yield in Albcmarle Sound
and in the rivers of Florida has been very
great, and in the Delaware, Hudson and
Connecticut rivers tho result was as
promising as in the others. The same
increase of shad has been effected on the
Pacific coast, in which waters shad were
unknown prior to their introduction by
the United States Fish Commission"

The Sphinx of Egypt, who enjoys a
worldwide reputation for discretion, is

that a company has been formed in Paris
to aid NJ. Maspero in carrying out his in

Sphinx is a tomb, and that under it or
inside of it some valuable and interesting
material may be discovered that will add
a few years moro to the length of history.

Living among the humble classes of
Chinese working in San Francisco is
very cheap. A man who earns only four
cents a day will live on two cents for
two meals; the remaining two cents
will pay for the shelf On which he lies
at night and what clothing he may need.
For ten cents a day a Chinaman can get
in Chinatown two meals of rice, salt fish
and vegetables, and wash each meal
down with a cup of good Cargon. Sen
persons eating twice a day Of two kinds
of meat and vegetables, and the never
absent rice and tea, can board for $1.25

A funny incident occurred in sacra-
mento, CAL, recently. A man named
Marion got into a fight, and as revolvers
we're used and he fell, it was believed that
be had been shot. He had his head
wabbed and was given some whisky and
lfterward a drink of water, which latter
Huid his stomach rebelled against. He
was afterward tenderly borne to q
hack and taken to the hospital. There
he was placed On a strctcher and carried
from the entrance inside the prison. He
had not spoken a word since being taken
IN charge, and while officers and report
hrs stood around waiting for the supposed
lying mau to breathe his last. he sud-
denly sprang to his feet and roared: ''I'll
Jump any man in the room fur ST."

shopkeeper in London,

A shopkeeper in London, wishing
people to bear his place in mind, caused
a metal bar and some other innocent
looking apparatus to be set up outside
his show window, and connected it with
an electric battery, so that anybody
pausing to look in, and resting his hand
upon the bar, received a considerable
shock. The continuance did fix notice,
but its effect was not altogether de-
sirable. People refused to trust them
selves to the interior of a shop whose
peculiarities, even upon the outside, were
30 marked, and a large aud savage dog
in the doorway would hardly have been
more effcctual in driving away trade.

Long Sentences.

The London Figaro says: ssMr.
Gladstone's longest reported sentence, if
I mistake not, was found to contain 1877
words. This was until lately thought to
be the longest on record. But now it
appears that Senator Edmunds has beat
en- it with a sentence 1913 words long.
The Grand Old Man, however, still pos
sesscs nm average which has not been
surpassed. A statistician, to whom time
isclcarly no object, hasdiscovered a speech
OF the Prcmier's in which there are ten
sentences which contain IN average of
seventy-two words apiece"

Lots of cranks visit the Philadelphia
Mint. Tho majority look sensible and
are we'll dressed, but some can be iden-
titled as insane at the distance of ablock,
and tho attire of these arc in keeping
with their disordcred intellocts. Men
and women who are q little ''gone in the
upper story" rs the poet puts it, go to
the Mint usually with but one Grand
to collect thousands of millions of dollars
which they firmly believe is there de-
posted to their credit. Most of them
are from the city, but once in a while
one puts in appearance who has come a
goodly distance by rail to get money sup
posed to be all ready. BY long and
painful experience the jolly chief usher
of the Mint has been led to adopt one
unvarying mode of treating his cranky
v%ititors- BE don't fling them into the
street. He don't cvcn order them
away, or advise them to go to a place
where intellccts ore chosply repaired,
but instead, he agrees to all they say,
acknowledges that there ore tens of
thousands of millions of dollars,
as the case may be, waiting for
them, and then gets rid of them by some
polite excuse for temporary delay in pay
ment of their claims, or sends them upon
fools brands to see government officials
who exist only in imagination.

The Warlike Apache.

A correspondent of the Chicago Inter-
Ocean says: The Apache is not only tho
most warlike of American Indians and
l do not except the Ute Indians, the
Sioux, nor the Comanches-but he is also
the most skilled in war. Trained to an
endurance which would be unattainable
in a more endurable country; with the
eye of a hawk, the stealth of a COYOTE.
the courage of a tiger, and it's merciless-
ness, he is the Bcdouin of the new world.
He has horses that will exist on q blade
OF grass to an acre, and will travel 10
miles in twenty-four hours thereby with
out falling dead on the homcstretch. He
knows every foot of his savage country
better than you know the interior of
your parlor. He finds water and food
where the best of us would starve to
death for the want of both. More than
