INTERESTING STATISTICS.


INTERESTING STATISTICS.
The Chicago Times Of recent date
gives some immigration statistics derived
from the report of the government
bureau for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1893, which we here summarize. I'll
appears that most of the actors come
from England and Germany, and that
Great Britain furnishes more artists
than either Italy or France. England
sends more clergymen, chemists and
newspaper editors than any other coun-
try, and Germany sends more dentists.
Civil engineers, engravers and lawyers
come chiefly from the British islands,
but three-fourths of all the photographers
come from the German empire. In
musicians Germany takes the lead, and
Italy comes second Nearly half the
physicians and surgeons come from Ger
many, while Italy sends most of the
sculptors. The latter also is prolific OF
bakers, though not nearly so much as
either England or Germany. OF black
smiths Germany, England, Italy, Sweden,
Scotland, Ireland, and Russia were pro-
ductive in the order named. Forty per
cent of the BARRIERS and hairdressers
came from Italy and 286 of the $50 brew
ers from Germany. England sent IS OF
the 73l builders and 40 per cent of the
1876 butchers, most of the remainder
coming from Germany. OF carpenters
and joiners there came 1851, of whom
1859 were German, $50 English, 453
Italian, 21O Irish, 1l8 Austrian, 285 Nor
wegiap, 2l4 Russian, 472 Swedish, and
189 Scotch.
Germany takes first rank in coopers,
glaciers, gnnsmiths, eaddlers, harness
makers, thinkers, turner's, upho]sterers,
watch ard clock makers, and wheel
wrights, and England takes the lead in
cutters, designers, draughtsmen, dyers,
electricians, gas filters, iron filters, iron
moulders, lace manufacturers, mechan-
ice, plumbers, pottere, spinnere, tele-
graphere, and weavers.
Scotland sent as many shipwrights as
all the rest of Europe, and little Belgium
beat all other countries together in glass
manufacturers. The clerks came mainly
from England, Ireland, and Germany,
those countries furnishing 2,l31 of the
3,2O1 from all countries. Germany, Italy,
and England sent the bulk Of the con-
PETITIONERS, and the coppersmiths came
from Germany and England. Germany,
Italy, Ireland, and England were the
countries from which the great majority
of dreesmakers came to America. OF the
27,779 farmers 6,199 came from Germany,
3,l93 from Italy, 2,458 from Sweden,
1,990fro Ireland, and l, TAI from Russia.
Hungary sent 1905, Austria 1852, Eng
laud LOTT, and Norway $40. The ped
oilers came from Russia and Poland
chiefly, and the shepherds from Scotland
and Germany. Sisters Of mercy, nuns,
and sisters of charity numbered SO, and
So came from Germany and Is from
France. OF 36,043 persons classed as
servants Ireland sent 1905. The next
country on the list was Sweden, with
6,203. Germany and England followed,
with 1892 and 1891, respectively.
Those classed as common laborers"
we're most numerous. OF 96,351 immi-
grants from Germany only 1921 were
laborers. Out Of II, 145immigrants from
Italy there we're no fewer than 34,040
In like manner only 1921 immigrants
from England, out Of 46,501, were un.
skilled laborers, while Of the 30,584 i'm
migrants from Austria II 1926 were of that
class. OF 1864 immigrants from Poland
1855 were common laborers. Out of r.
1856 from Scotland there were only GIG
unskilled in some trade or other occupa-
ton than that of laborer. Hungary
sent lO,868 laborers, Russia 1916, Sweden
1928, and Ireland 1869 out Of much
larger total immigration.
The immigration since the nara times
commenced has fallen off considerably,
but the immigrants to the United States
still come in larger numbers than to any
other country. The class of immigrants
now coming will make more desirable
citizens than some who came in the past,
and if they continue to come there will
be no need of restricting immigration.
PHOENIX PARK MURDERS.
The whole world was shocked by the
of Lord Frederick Caven-
dish, chief secretary for Ireland, and his
under secretary, Thomas Henry Burke,
in Phoenix Park, Dublin, on May 6, 1884.
The atrocious crime blighted the Irish
cause on the threshold Of victory, and in
one day the hopes of Ireland were blasted,
and the cause of Irish liberty was
