And have you no friends that yoU
were to meet here
Sure I've brother in Brooklyn that
is to mate me here, but I've agrade wild
Mr.. McGoogin, met on the stamer, tC
! go wild him TO Colorado"
So the search began for Mr.. McGoo-
I gin. He was found down in the brand
ing shute, for he couldn't get away, and
was brought up 10 be identified. He
was very plain man, indeed, was Mr..
/ McGoOgin, with retrousse nose that
I looked like a sway back dorIner window
: in a gale Of wind. He had nice warm
red throat whiskers and rich tOnsilitis
tone Of voice. Mr.. MeGoogin reluctant
+ ly gave up the two pounds, and the red
. checked girl with the trusting heart was
told to remain riveted TO that spot till
/ her brother from Brooklyn came for her.
You girls" said Iir. Simpson, make
/ Us more trouble than all the rest put to-
/ gether. You suspect nobody except the
/ people who are trying 70 take care Of
/ you. Quick as you step out the door Of
( the barge Office you hand over your tin
i box to the first yahoo that speaks to you,
and start for Goliad or .he Yamhil Y al
ley on foot with him if he says So
/ That was a fine bird, indeed, that you
picked up on the steamer and gave your
money to. wasn't he? That mug OF his
would stop Broadway car"
used to think that the Mormons, the
imported MOrmons, were the toughest
lot that l ever saw, but the odor of sane
tity was the same that you meet now at
the barge Office.
When the Nor1nons landed in New
York city they were at once conveyed in
| bulk to the already fertilized valleys of
the Jordan, and along the route this rich
nut brown flavor of the steerage, unbroken
by the harsh intrusion of the chloride or
the 9ermicide, withered the sage brush
and killed cattle on the range.
And yet the emigrant himself does
not mind it. He even sits down and
eats his rather plain meal in the midst
Of it.
Somehow it seems to me that we are
getting a much tougher crowd of emf
grants each year than we got the year
before. They are not in such a good
state OF preservation as they used to be.
There is more contract labor and i'm
ported pauper business than there used
TO be.
I'VE have to look out for poor people
who land here" said an official, land
not let them starve. If we DO not send
them back we must keep an eye on
them. The local authorities will not
give them q mouthful till they have
been here a year. l used to be called
on regularly over at the Castle by
a big red faced Englishman for help.
Every day he was there. Finally got
tired of giving him bread tickets.
1t hurt me internally every time
did it, so | said at last: Get out
of here. | am done helping you. Be-
gone! You are so healthy it makes me
mad, and you stroll about the battery
and eat the bread of idleness, preferring
it to the kind that people get by honest
sweat. Get out! Scat!
"'And do you refuse to give me breadY
Yes, do
Very well, sir. I'll report you to the
British consul
And so he would, too" said the Off
ciaL "A big, two listed man, who knew
the record of every bull pup and pugilist
in England, what he weighed in condi
ton and out of condition, who his par
ents were away back TO the Conquest
and whose kennel he belonged TO, and
yet he wouldn't beat a carpet or help
lift piano IN the land of his adoption"
While was present young man in
some way got mixed up at the gang
plank with the emigrants, and was
forced by the crowd up the stairs into
the corral while the gate was closed,
and he for the time had TO ne an emf
grant He swOre quite good deal be-
cause he could not get out, and spoke
disrespectfully Of the environments; but
his environments enjoyed it first rate.
He had a good deal of difficulty in prov
ING that he was resident Of New York
and not a European pauper. Finally he
was permitted to escape, and the way he
lit out brought back TO my mind the
day when l hurried back to Washington
from Bull Run, fearing that other ex-
cursionists might precede me and get
the most desirable rooms at the hotels
There Is a style of reciprocity now
existing between this country and Eu-
rope which, as an American of French
