IMMIGRATION CONVENTION AT
GREENVILLE.

An Immigration Convention took
place at Gyeenville, Miss. last Tues
day for the purpose of bringing Italian
immigrants to the South. OF all classes
of foreign immigrants. the Italians nave
proven the most desirable; not OF
course that class of Italians that know
nothing else but to handle the "oa-
Manu. but the Italian agriculturia.

such are the thrifty peasantry OF Ius-
canv. one of the most fertile and dense
lily peopled regions of Italy. Two
representatives from that country are
now in the South, Messrs. Bigiongiari
and Giglioli. to make contracts Win
landowners, and it was for the pur-
pose of meeting them and contracting
with them that 4 this convention was
called at Greenville. The immigrants
have plenty to pay their own way, and
the proposition is, that the landowner
sell each family % acres OF open land
and Is acres of woodland, with cabin,
on five to ten years. time, or that they
rent 20 acres to each family and furn-
ish mule and supplies the first year.
after which no doubt IS entertained
but the immigrants would be self-snp'
porting. Most Of them, however, have
the means to buy stock. implements
and supplies for themselves.

Marine Notes.

The captains and pilots of the many steam
vessels are obliged to be on the alert in
stormy or foggy weather from Dutch Is
land to their docks in the city and the
same on their return, as the many sailing
vessels are just as apt to anchor in the
path of the steamers as elsewhere, and
many times the crews on board of the
schooners will put up light and all
hands will {" turn in" and are in
danger of their lives. Recently one
of the New York steamers en- route to this
port in a snow storm found that they were
within few feet of loaded schooner
without a signal or lookout, and had
there not been good look out on the
steamer the schooner would have gone TO
the bottom. On Dutch Island there is
nothing but small bell TO warn mariners
OF danger, and the only fog horn from
Beaver Tail to this harbor is the one at
Beaver Tail. All other warnings are sound
ed from small bells, and for this reason
steamers are obliged to make for one point
to another by time, and this is where the
danger arises. In bad weather horns are
blown from the lighthouses at Bullock's
Point, Sabin and Pomham, but
the keepers are paid 81 for each time they
exert themselves TO this extent by the diff
ferent steamship companies. That more
serious accidents do not occur is due to
the efforts of steamboat men.

omcthing About Our Patterns.

The paper patterns with which we fur
nish our readers in connection with the
coupons printed in these columns are the
very best obtainable. They are the en-
bodimept of simplicity, grace and style,
and any garment made from them cannot
fail TO be very effective. The designs are new
each week and are as thoroughly up-to-
date and seasonable as it is possible to get
them No woman need feel afraid TO use
these patterns on the score OF their cost
ing her SO little money, for no
matter what she expended in the
hope of getting better they could not be
surpassed from any source, either domes-
tic or foreign. The modes are cut by an
expert whose success in this line of work
has been phenomenal, obtaining for the
patterns a reputation which has extended
to ali quarters Of the globe, and has stood
the test of the keenest competition. We
simply offer for two cent postage stamps
what is worth in the regular way of busi-
ness much more than that price, as an in
ducement which will be of material bene-
fit to our readers. Always address Demo-
rest, New York, as instructed on coupon,

"a Temperance Town.,

All of Hoyt's humor and some of his
pathos agreed with large audience i'm
the Providence Opera House last even
ing. GA Temperance Town" has been seen
several times, but il seemed pleasante-
than even last evening. A large percent
age of the big house had seen this satire on
the temperance question before, and
the fact that they relished it
more than ever demonstrated that the
farce was presented i'm its most attractive
way. Mr.. Hoyt knows how
to get at an American audience. He
knows the value of contrast and he
applies his knowledge skillfully. A bit
OF seriousness and then CARLOAD OF
mirthful farce. The spectators take the
scene seriously one moment and the
next they sway with laughter
at the extravagant antics of the come
dians. Nearly everyone likes to
laugh, and ga Temperance Town"
is frequently funny. George Rich
ards is droll comedian, and
he plays Mink Jones as though he enjoyed
it. 80 does Eugene Garfield as Bingo
Jones. The company is the same as seen
in this play before, therefore the several
parts are we'll presented. The farce will
be seen this evening and tomorrow after
noon and evening.

Board Of License Commissioners Pre-
pared to Grant Licenses.
The members of the Board of License
Commissioners have given notice that
they are now ready to receive applications
for licenses for next year. While it
has been the usual custom to
postpone such action until the
newly elected member of the board has
taken his seat, sometime in the month of
April, the new Legislative act, which en-
titles the members to sit for five years,
makes this long wait unnecessary. 1t is
now the intention of the
board to obtain all the
applications in time to advertise them by
the latter part of this month, or the first
of March, and il this can be done, every
license will be granted by the first
of May, the date when the
old licenses expire. 1t is necessary, there
fore. that the liquor dealers should apply
at once, as those who have not obtained
their licenses by that time will be COM
pelied to close their saloons.
No change has been made in the cost of
the Licenses, however. First-class licen-
ses will cost $500 ,second-class licenses S40O,
and druggists license s.. Last year
the board granted 403 second class licen-
sss, 81 first class licenses, and 60 druggists
licenses, and il is believed that little
change Will be made in the number this
year. 1t Is intended, however, to limit
the second class licenses to 400, and 1t is
believed that this will be done.

tolerance and selfishness. He made no
denial that there are reforms needed in
Christian missions and in the charac-
ter of work required. But he wished 10
repudiate the personal remarks made in
regard to the missionaries in Japan,
Ceylon, and India. He declared that he
was no advocate of forcing Western
modes of life and social customs on the
East. He did not wish TO Americanize
or Anglicize the people of those countries,
but neither did he want to be turned
into Hindu or Chinaman. "And,"
he said, 81 say this in regard to the
countries of India, of Ceylon, and OF
tians and no meek and lowly followers OF
the meek and lowly Jesus amongst them,
then there is not one in America, aud
there is not one in England, and the
Christian world does not contain a true
Christian" He then followed with an
emphatic declaration that the real need
of the Christian religion today is unity
between the denominations. He declared
II impossible to produce a universal har-
mony from the united ctions of a
Christendom OF religious sects wrangling
about minor points OF doctrine.
This Is the handicap against which
all missionary effort must be directed.
The effort to proselyte from other faith,
into Christianity is continually meeting
the struggles of inquiring ones as to why
their are so many Christian churches and
In the maze OF doctrinal differences they
become bewildered, and remain in the
faith of their fathers and their countries.
On another day the same speaker read
paper on the question OF Religious Unity
and Missions" 1t was in the same line
as his brief address of the first appear
ance, and awakened much interest and
wide approval. He is strong advocate OF
the substitution of the spiritual test
for the intellectual one, of conversion
for orthodoxy. And again, on the last
day OF the Parliament, he expressed his
confidence in the ultimate triumph OF
that spirit, and the belief that this great
Congress at Chicago was an important
date in the movement. These addresses
are all included in full i'm "Neeley's His
