The Inflow of Foreigners.

During the first three months of the cur
rent year the arrivals of foreigners were:

BOZ; Philadelphia, 1861; San Francisco,
731; total, 86,O48. Immigrants by way
of Mexico and British North America
are not included in the above. In view
of the increasing influx of foreigners and
the facilities with which the ballot-box is
reached by the latest corners in seven
teen States and Territories on "declar-
alton of intention" a movement has
been set on foot in New York for legis-
Iation by Congress. 1t is one of the
great questions that will come up at the
next session. Steps will be taken to

The Parting of the Ways,

Wilkins and Watkins were college chums and close friends. They had been hard students and had taken but little out door exercise. When they shook hands and said good bye at the end of their college career, they were in impaired health. Both had dyspepsia, liver troubles and troublesome coughs.
 Wilkins had plenty of money and de cided to travel for his health. Watkins was poor. "I must go to work for my living" said he. but I'll try the remedy that Robinson talks so much abOut-OI Pierces Golden Medical Discovery"
 In less than two years Wilkins came home in his coffin. Watkins. now in the prime of life, is a bank president rich and respected, and weighs 200 pounds. "The Golden Medical Dis. covery, saved my life at a critical time, ; he often says. 'Oh, if poor Wilkins had only tried it p For weak lungs, splitting of blood, all lingering coughs and consumption in its early stages, It is an unequalled remedy.

CONTESTED WILLS.
What Robert G. Ingerson Thinks
 About Them.
Thoughts Suggested by the Famous Davis VIII Case-W What Is PitlfuI in Such Contests-The Love for
 Hoarding Money.

There are too many will contests. Rich men will have to take more pains in drawing up their last will and testa- ment to prevent these great battles for millions. have recently returned from Butte City, Mont, writes Robert G. Ingersoll in the New York Sunday Journal, after having spent weeks and weeks fighting one of the most bewil- dering forgeries of a will, that of the old mine owner, Andrew J. Davis, that have ever seen.
 To-day we hear great deal of the difference between fact and opinion in will contests. After we got through with our case we proved that this will of '66, as it is called in the Davis con- one juror who couldn't be won over, but we will go back to the fight in Mon tana with the people with us. They found that wasn't such a terrible sin ner after all, and that we didn't intend to carry off Andrew J. Davis millions.
 say we have heard a great deal of the difference between fact and opinion. There is difference between fact and opinion, but sometimes when we have to establish fact by persons we are hardly as certain that the fact ever ex- isted as we are of the opinion, and al though one swears that he saw thing or heard thing, we all know, or should know, that the accuracy of that state ment should be decided by something besides his word.
 There is this beautiful peculiarity in nature. A lie never fits a fact, never. You only fit a lie with another lie made for the express purpose, because you can change lies, but you can't change facts, and after time the time comes when the last lie you tell has to be fitted to a fact, and right there is bad joint; consequently you must fit the statements of people who say they saw, not by what they saw, but by other facts, by the surroundings, by what are called probabilities; by the naturalness of the statement. If we only had to hear what witnesses say in our courts ! iurymen would need nothing but cars ! their brains could be dispensed with i but after they do hear what they say i they should call a council in their brains and make up their minds whether the statement, in view of all the circum stances, is true or false.
 Another thing in the will contests o1 to-day that should be checked is the quarreiing among the lawyers. never quarrel with anybody, my philosophy

The Curious in Numbers,

A lover of the curious in numbers has figured out some interesting facts con- corning the city of Berlin. The city has 210 miles of street, so that person might walk ten days in the German cap ital without going up or down the same street twice. If the 100000 inhabit- ants were to turn out in a grand review, and march in double file, they would form line 750 miles in length, col umn long enough to reach nearly en- tirely across France. If the citizens should all determine to start on jour ney on the same day and the same time, all the cars in Germany would accom- modate but two-thirds of their mum ber If formed in single file, each with his hand on the others shoulder, the col umn would be nearly 2,0OO miles long. If separated until only within speak ing distance of each other the column would be a human telegraph line long enough to reach from Berlin to Calcutta, India,

 Surrender.

Thought hat Other Foreign Vessels
 in Valparaiso Would Not Permit a
 Treacherous Attack on the Ship-Wash-
 ington Authorities Reticent-Rumors in
 London The Case Against Trumbuli
 and Burt Dismissed.
 LONDON, Nov. 4.-A private dispatch received from Valparaiso says that the American cruiser Baltimore is in serious danger, and that there is reason to be- lieve that the Chilians, believing war inevitable, will not allow the United States to select their own time to de- clare war, but suddenly give Egan his passports and at once attack the Balti- more, so as to have the first blow at an advantage.
 It is not believed among the foreign residents of Valparaiso that the other foreign men, of-w war in Valparaiso harbor would permit a treacherous act on Capt. Schley, but would demand that fair notice be given him to quit Valparaiso Capt. Schley, however, is keeping a vigilant outlook.
 The Tory press continues to pour the vials of it's wrath upon the United States in connection with Chilli, the articles being apparently intended rather for consumption in Chilli than England or America, and being well calculated to puff that country with a great idea of Chili's capacity for de- feating the Americans.

THE oRIolNAL HORSE.
A Rare Animal Discovered in the Cen
 tral Part of Asia.

A Rare Animal Discovered in the Cen
 tral Part of Asia.
 A small party of French men of science, which included Prince Henry, of Orleans, and M. Bonvalot, has lately returned from journey of exploration through the vast.and almost uninhabited regions of central Asia. The expedi- tion, says the Youths Companion, brought back several stuffed specimens of rare animals found in that part of the world, and among them specimen of the hemione, or Kiang horse. This animal probably approaches as near to the primitive horse as any now found in wild state.
 The home of the Kiang horse is the high plateau of Chinese Turlzestan, be- tween Lake Lob Nor and the noun tainous region of Thibet. This plateau is covered with growth of short grass, which the wild horses graze. The eli mate is very cold, the mercury in win ter sinking to forty degrees below zero, Fahrenheit.
 The Kiang horse is a shaggy, un- kempt looking animal, having bodily somewhat the aspect of donkey, ex- cept as to the tail and ears. It is, how ever, a genuine horse, having rather | delicate legs and feet, and ears by nc means embling those of a donkey or | mule.
 The color of the head and of the upper part and sides of the body is reddish. tan, shading to bay, and though this color grows lighter from above down ward, it contrasts strikingly with the

being that everybody does as he must, and if he Is in bad luck and does wrong, why, let's pity him, and if we happen to have good luck, and take the path where roses bloom, why let's be joyful. That is my doctrine.
 There is something pitifu1 in these great will contests, too. Take A. J. Davis, for example. He went on piling up his money, thousands on thousands. Greed grew with old age, as it gen. eraLy does. Gold is spurned by the youth and loved by the old. There is something magnificent after all about the extravaganza of youth, and there is something pitiful about the greed of old age. This love of gold is terrible pas sion. All the evidence brought out in the Davis will case showed that Andrew J. Davis went on year after year in maddening race for the yellow gold. He was methodical and keen and sharp. The question left for the jury to answer was whether or not he left his old fa- ther naked to the world; whether he cared nothing for sisters and brothers; whether he cared nothing for the chill dren of the sister that raised him. An, if Andrew J. Davis had gone back in thought to when he was child, when all the children were gathered around the same knees, the children that had been nourished at the same tender and holy breast he would not have cut off those relatives without their share in the great fortune he had amassed. How beautiful the generosity of childhood, the hospitality of childhood; and as men grow old there comes the love for gold, and the love of gold seems to have the same effect on the heart as it does upon the country where it is found. All the roses fade, and the beautiful green trees lose their leaves and there is noth- ing in the heart but sage bush. And so it is with the land that holds within the miserly grip of rocks what we call | precious metals!
 Will contests are brought to-day with altogether too great alacrity by distant relatives who hope for a compromise and fat sum for their trouble. The forgery in this Davis case was so ig- norant and clumsily done that it almost makes me smile to go over the evidence | in the brain. Rich men should insert clauses in their wills telling just whom they don't intend to leave riches to. Then the wills should have more wit nesses to testify to sound mind and no undue influence.

THE KIANG HORSE.

pure white of the animals belly and the inner side of the fore-legs.
 Along the spine runs 8 well-deined stripe of thick, blackish-brown hair, extending to the root of the tail. The hair is long and shaggy, and adapts the horse to living in cold country.
 The Kiangs, like all the other wild horses, live in bands or herds of one hundred to two hundred individuals, each presided over by an old male. This leader gives the signal when any danger approaches.
 The Kiangs are preyed upon frequent ly by wolves; but their most terrible and dreaded enemy is the ounce, or Turkestan panther, several specimens of which were shot by Prince Henry.

The Latest Use to Which Electricity Has
 Been Applied.
 The electric inventor has applied the subtle current to another practical pur- pose, which he claims is both effective and healthful. The application in this case is to the reins on an ordinary set of harness so that whip to urge the horse along is not needed. The reins for a portion of their length, where they are over the horses back, are wrapped with copper wire. The wires are car ried up to little battery, which can be put under the seat. When it becomes necessary to urge the horse little, by pressing button a current is sent

IF anything were needed to indicate t. the Irish people the utter and unmiti- gated evil of faction, its strongest ex- qualification is to be found in the in- slne and disgraceful scenes that have been enacted in Cork during the past week, the sickeninR details of which are being spread broadcast through the world by the press, 10 the shame of all true lovers of the Irish name, and the irreparable detri nent of the Irish cause Coming as most of the dispatches do through the prejudiccd and hostile channel oe the London Times office, it is only reasonable to infer that they are purposely colored so as to hold up the people of Ireland in the most unfavor- able light before the American public. But taking the matter in it's least offen- sive aspect we have to say that more deadly injury could not have been in- t1icted on the movement for national in dependence than is now being wrought out by these warning factions, whose fratricidal strife threatens to undo all the good that has been effected during the last sixteen years by the patient labor and ungrudging sacrifices of patri- otic Irishmen the world over.
