During the eight months ended
August 81, 1889, the immigration OF
Europeans to the United States was
nearly 100000 less than during the
same period of 1883. The question
of foreign immigration to this coun-
try is rapidly working out its own so,
luton without the intervention OF
Congress. While the European move
ment to this country is rapidly de-
clining, there is strong increase in
the emigration from Spain and Italy
to South America

Louis [, king of Portugal, died last
Saturday, in the ffty-frst year of his
life, and in the twenty.ffth year OF
his reign. He was weak sovereign,
and almost or quite bankrupted his
kingdom. Portugal though in area
about the size of the State of South
Carolina, with a population a little
more than four times as great. yet has
8 public debt one hundred times as
great as this State. His son Carlos,
who is about twenty-six years old,
will succeed him to the throne.
1t has been stated that Capt. A.
Levi, president of the Bank of Man
ming, s. c., was the Youngest bank
president in the State. Mr.. Lewis
age is 26. Greenvile, however,
claims the distinction of having the
youngest bank president in the State,
and, no doubt, in the United States.

-.Green7ille Savings Bank, is now only
"a years OF age, and has been presi-
dent of the institution since its or

ital stock is $4,000. Mr.. Norwood

The statement that the Farmers
Alliance was petitioning or intended
to petition the legislatures of the va
rious States, in which they have been
established, to suspend the collection
OF debts for six months, has been
widely promulgated through the
South, and has undoubtedly created
some alarm. It seems to have been,
,>howeyss absolutely without founda-
tion, and mas heen most positively de-
MED by the leading spirits OF ths-er7
ganization, who state unequivocally,
that no such resolution has been pass
ed or is contemplated.
An Englishman, who recently con-
versed with TennysoD, writes to an
american literary friend that the poet
laureate is aging rapidly. Talk meant
distress to him, and reference to per-
sons very close to him in friendship,
which formerly enlisted his interest,
seemed TO meet with but little re-
sponse. In his walk he shufied heav-
lily, and the cane that he once carried
as companion to idly swing in mo-
ments of thought had become almost
staf. The strong aroma of pipe
carelessly jammed iuto one OF his coat
pockets was about the only thing that
suggested the Tennyson of old-there
was certainly nothing in his converse
tion> manners, or appearance.
