Immigration Laws.

The London Times, while it admits
that we have ample reason for increas-
ing the stringency of our immigration
laws. remarks that good extradition
treaty would probably Danish from
America more ruffians than a stringent
immigration act would keep out of the
country" The particular rufiians to
whom the Times refers are doubtless the
Irish dynamiters, but it over looks the
fact that these have been
contributed to our population
by the British Empire, and that
il we had had the stringent immigration
law earlier there would be no occasion for
Kidding ourselves Of them by extraditi0n.
Moreover, il much exaggerates their
numbers, since we are not aware that
any cases have been made out against
Irishmen in this country that would war
rant their extradition under the treaty
that failed in the Senate II is extremely
unlikely that as many as a dozen such
cases could be proved. AS to the other
kinds of ''ruffians" which we have re
ceived from the Continent of Europe. ex
tradition would do us no good, since theii
own governments are as averse TO receiv.
ing them back as we are TO keeping them
here. IN. Y. Times.

Mans on, ion.

Said woman the other day; 81 would
rather have a mans opinion about my
gowns, any time, than a woman's. He
does not know once ont of hundred
times what the material is or what it
is worth. He does know, however,
whether or not it is becoming. Now, a
woman will sit up in your room and tell
you what beautiful gown it is. All the
while she is looking you over
from head TO foot saying to her
self that the gown cost so
much, the trimmings so much
and the buttons so much. You can see
that she thinks she could have bought
the gown for $50 less, and have II made
up in a much prettier way. If
the gown pleases a man he shows it in
his looks, and perhaps says something
pleasant about it. Whether he says any
thing or not, If he likes it, his look Of
appreciation is more than satisfactory,
while if the gown is not pretty or be-
coming, he simply doesn't notice it.
That is the way Of man; he never sees
thing that is not attractive, and is
quick to appreciate one that is.-New

The ra.tern shore nrn.lrat.

A popular dish in the lower Eastern
Shore counties Of Maryland at this season
Of the year is the muskrat. When
stranger is asked to pass his plate TO be
helped no doubt thoughts of a Chinese
delicacy fly fast and furious through his
mind, and he is forced by his adherence
of any rat meat 10 accept something else
in its stead. In doing so he really de.
prives himself Of very palatable dish,
and had IL been called marsh rabbit,
more appetizing name Of the muslxrat,
he wouli have eaten it with
gusto. Marsh rabbit, when prop.
erly prepared, is dish which
is held in equal esteem on the tables Of
some Of the most prominent Eastern
Shoremen with quail, rabbit and wild
duck. As soon as the disagreeable flavor
of its name vanishes IL becomes as much
of n favOrite TO the stranger as il has
been TO the native for more than cen.
tury. There Is no reason why this much
abused marsh rabbit should not take
its proper place alongside the
wild duck. the terrapin, the
oyster, the soft crab and other delicacies
indigenous TO the Eastern Shore
and be as highly esteemed by the epicure
the world over. A clearly animal, he
lives in the marshes, selects his food
with the greatest care, and washes IL
with equal care before he permits his
discriminating tongue to touch IL. He
burrows in the soft mud, and is shot or
trapped. At this season he has gathered
together his greatest surplus Of flesh.
The marsh rabbit has a head not unlike
that Of an opossum, with a dark brown
heavy suit Of hair. He has a long, fiat
tail. His skin finds a ready market
at the country stores for ffteer
cents. He carries a small sack OF
musk, the smell Of which has-als con
tributed to his unpopularity, and great
care has to be taken in pulling of the
skin not to break this sack. II slightly
ruptured the meat is spoiled. After
dressed the rabbit is exposed to the all
for several hours, and is then parboiled
He is next fried in fat hog meat, whicl
has been fried brown, with liberia
! sprinkling Of red pepper and salt Hi
next step is 10 the table. There are bu
few old colored cooks on the Easter
Shore who are not able to make the marsl
rabbit dainty dlsh.-Baltimore Sun.

ABSORBED BY THE PULLMANs.
Reported Sale of the Union Palace Car
Company.


Company.
Il Is rumored that the Union Palace
Car Company, the organization of which
the EVENING JOURNAL published the first
news last summer, has sold out to the
Pullman company II is known that there
is some foundation for the rumor. Job
Fl. Jackson, one of the directors and
largest stockholders of the Union Com
pany is in New York, presumably on
business connected with the alleged sale.
Pullman Palace Car stoek has taken a
Jump of $50 share in the last two or
three days, and whether it be true or not,
this rumor has caused it.
A number of the new cars of the Union
Company are standing finished on the
tracks at Jackson and Sharp's and at the
Harlan and Hollingsworth Company's
works. It was stated that they
were to have been shipped to
their destination, the Richmond and
Danville system, yesterday, but they will
now await the outcome of the negotia-
tions which are pending or if they have
been concluded, as is believed, the orders
Of the Pullman Company.
It is believed that the merging Of the
new company into the Pullman will not
effect the car building industry here.
The jackson g. Sharp and the Harlan and
Hollingworth companies have extensive
interests in the Union Company and q
large portion of the cars will probably be
built at their shops.
