BEFORE TEE DOOR OF CASTLE GARDEN.
Castle Garden was origina;ly-a fort and
tne chief defense OF New York city. The
massive masonry OF its first walls Stili stands
and ths deep port holes, although for many
wears nc dark browed cannon haEe frowned
through them, still gaze sinisterly, Like great
square ewes, OYER New York bay. But the
historical interest of the building is not
wholly centerod on its connection with mill
tary matters. After it ceased TO be0ccupied
as a fort it was turned into q place of amuse-
ment, and unGer its roof Jenny Lind'S voice
wasfr heard in America.
The building WAS utilized os g landing de-
pot for immigrants In 1856, eight years after
the establishment of the emigration commits

found through it an entrance to the new
country Cor which they had deserted their
own. Since the day OF its opening as land
ing depot, there has been hardly break in
the stream Of human beings Rowing from it
to all parts Of America. According to the
reports OF the commissioners of emigration
the total number of foreigners who had
passed before its registry desks previous to
Dec. 81, 1889, was 8, ,639, ,635, or almost a sew
enth as many peoDie as the nation is sup-
posed to contain today.
There is not civilized country or the
globe which has not had its representatives

England; 3i7, l93 from Italy; 224 $50 from

men have landed at Castle Garden Although
the proposed destinations Of all immigrants
have not been recorded, the books tell of a.
ga who started for Illinois; 46, 6l2 for Penn

Minnesota; II ,G49 for Massachusetts; 5,029

plainly showed the unpleasant elects OF the
| experience Many of the faces looked wan
and pinched, and the fact that most OF them
were not overcleon added TO their appear
ance OF distress.
But the tbrobbing life of Castle Garden has
| its bright side also. When ships which have
been spared By the fierce storms Of the ocean
or which have battled successfully with them,
come into port, and their passengers pour into
the great building, the scene is gay and en-
ivenina. Steerage passengers arc transferred
from the steamers, after they have gone up
the bay, to barges, and on them are carried
to Castle Garden.
Before they are allowed in the main part
of the building tho immigrants have to pass
in single file before the officials, VINO register
their names, nationality, age, occupation,
starting point and destination, and also ask
whether they have any money or not In
case they are without funds or means Of earn
ing q living, they are detained at the Garden
for reasonable length OF time. If no one
appears to care for them they are eventually
sent back across the sea. Two thousand four
hundred and forty-seven have been prohibited
from proceeding on their journey for this and
other causes, and {, go have been returned at
charity rates, while 1918 passages have
been paid wholly or in part since the act Of
Aug. 3, 1882, became a law.
After the immigrants have been registered
they are allowed to do as they please. Those
who have through railroad tickets with
which to go TO the interior Of the country are
sorted out by the agents of the different rail-
road lines and are sooa started on their way
Others, who decide to stay i'll New York for
4 ttnle to look for work or wait for tagging
friends, are left to the not altogether tender
mercies OF the boarding house runners,
who are admitted to the floor OF the garden
after the registration he's been flushed AT
this period OF the proceedings the spectacle to
an oniooker is an interesting one. Tho queer
costumes, many of them brightly colored,
and the faces, made doubiy expressive by the
hopes and fears Of their owners, give the
crowd an aspect Of almost feverish gayety.
As soon as the first excitement of arrival is
over, those who for any reason find it neces-
sary to remain at the Garden gather in
groups about the kettle topped stoves and dis
cuss the incidents Of the voyage or prospects
for the future. Sometimes they camp in the
Garden for days before starting out, sitting
by day on their bags and bundles and sleep
ing on the hard benches at night

CANADA-S STATESMEN.
THE NEW NATION OF THE NORTH
is DISCUSSING GREAT ISSUES.

The Parllament of 5000, 900 People Has
Gotten Fairly to work-Sir John A. Mac
donald Enjoys and Suffers the Honors
and Penalties OF Prominence.
The protracted meetings OF the Canadian
cabiuet, the opening Of the Federal pariio-
ment and the attitude OF the government and
opposition have attracted at least the usual
attention at home and good deal more than
is usual in the United States. To the Ameri-
can reader of current news Sir John Alex
ander Macdonald is the truly colossal figure,
and for reasons not at once apparent TO
Canadians. To people 50 given to rapid
changes of rulers, it may well seem es.onish-
ing that one man should have continued in
Canadian public life, and most of the time
in Office, for forty-6ve years, during which
twelve presidents have come and gone and
another taken his seat, yet SO it is.
But Sir John has another title to American
interest, which few Canadians ever think Of.
In 1887 and later some misguided Americans
Invaded" Canada, and one Won Shouitz, be-
lieved TO be a Pole, led the widest Of tne lot
to Prescott. He was captured, condemned
and hanged, but not till his lawyer had eZ-
hausted every artifice in a most brilliant de-
feEse. That lawyer wos the young John A.
Macdonald. and this case first attracted wide
spread attention to his wonderful abilities.
Six years later he was chosen the representa-
tive OF Kingston in parliament; in 1647 he be-
came q member cf the cabinet and, with
