Natural History as a 1ranquilli

"a patient of Sir William Gull told
me-" says a writer in Temple Bar, '.that
his physician had recommended him to
take up natural history as a tranqiltizing
study. The question arises, are the meh
who pursue these studies more free from
strife, jealousies and all observation-disclosures,
han those who are struggling for SUI
premacy in art and literature? Judging
from the naturalisrs / have KNOWN, / am
inclined to think that, as a rule, they are
more tranquil minded. Kingsley felt the
truth of this when he said:-sEre ! grow

A Learned Discourse That Was Too Deep
for Comprehension.
Samuel Dexter was secretary of war
and afterward secretary of the treas
ury under President John Adams.
When Mr. jefferson became president
he asked Mr. Dexter to resign, and, on
receiving a refusal removed him.
This was the first instance of the re-
moval of cabinet officer for political
reasons.
II was said of Mr. Dexter, according
to Youths Companion, that a remark
made about Edmund Burke might be
applied with equal truth to him If
you should meet him under a shed on
a rainy day you would at once recog-
nize him as a great man" Yet his
mind vas rather of the brilliant than
the profound order and he did not hes
itate to confess its rare limitations.
He was once in company with Fisher
Ames and Chief Justice Marshall. The
great judge began a weighty conversa-
tion, which turned into a monologue
lasting nearly three hours, When the
two listeners had taken their home
ward way they could talk Of nothing
but the mental depth and learning Of
their host.

IMMIGRATION HORRORS

The conveyance to the port of New
York of hundreds Of destitute immi.
grants from Russia and other regions
of eastern Europe on the British
steamer Red Sea should be a subject
of thorough investigation by the
national authorities. This vessel
appears to have taken passengers who
had been rejected by other lines, and
without concern as to whether they
were paupers or in a physical condi-
tiOn to be acceptable additions to the
population of the United States. The
vessel is known as 'tramp steamer"
andunlike theregular lines has no repu
tation to maintain by due regard to
immigration laws. The Red Sea took
passengers as it took freight, and the
freight appears to have received more
attention than the passengers.
Now that these people are in this
country they should be treated humane
ly. 1t is painful to learn that grown up
women, perhaps mothers of families,
tainted with hunger when the immi-
grafton officials visited the steamer,
and that the unfOrtunates devoured,
like varacious animals, food sent them
by Commissioner Senner. The worst
features of the old time immigration
business, supposed long ago to have
been suppressed, are recalled by this
Red Sea episode. The steamer is
British vessel, but she has brought
passengers to an American port, and
the maltreatment of those passengers
is a matter of concern to Americans.
The immigration laws should be en-
forced, fairly and humanely and immi
grants who clearly come within the
prohibited class should be returned.
1t is due to the American people
that undesirable aliens should be ex-
cluded, and it is due to the regular
steamship lines complying with the
law in spirit as well as in letter that
no tramp steamer traffic in obnoxious
foreigners should be permitted. The
Red Sea should be the last vessel with
such a cargo to arrive in any port in
this country.
