DECLINE OF IMMIGRATION.

There is more than passing ,5igniti-
canoe in the failure of better times in
the United States to bring any such in o.
crease in immigration as that which
used to be the certain result of return
ing prosperity after every period of
business depression. The reasons for
the failure are obvious enough and they
are not confined to conditions IN Cur
country. They are, in brief. the filling
up of the more inviting new lands in
the temperate zones and the better OPP
pOrtunities of ths working classes OF
Europe in their own homes. The sta
tistics of both Great Britain and Ger
many show marked decreases of emil
grafton, poor men can earn living
there more easily than thsy used 10.
On the other hand the rapid increase
of population in the United States. Can
ada and Australia and the fall in the
market price of the agricultural pre-
ducts of those countries have lessened
the inducements for foreign settlers.

THE ACCOMPLISHED AND WIN
SOME GEISHA.

The Geisha came into evidence in
Japan in the middle of the last cent
ury, and in a remarkably short time
hcr popularity was such that her pres
ence became indispensable at parties,
which, but for her contagious vivacity
and mirth would perhaps have been
fiat and insipid Her duties are not
merely to serve tea, and dance for the
entertainment of her patrons, but she
is expected to laugh and talk gayly,
even if on the most trivial subjects. A
Geisha must be highly accomplished in
many ways She plays the samisen
and often a number of other musical
Instruments. dances. sings and talks.
and her remuneration is generally

MADAM" RUSH'S PROMENADES
How the Eccentric Social Leader Held
Informal Sidewalk Levees.

zone ofMadam' Rush's peculiar
habits had long been to promenade
the chief street Of Philadelphia. and
there to receive the homage of her
followers and adOrers at sidewalk
levees or open-air receptions " writes
William Perrine, of The Magnificent
Madam Rush. in the April Ladies
Home Journal. She had thus met
man and women of all kinds day after
day for many years-often a cabinet
minister, & senator, a bishop, gem
eTal, man Of letters or belle of the
season. Indeed her daily walk with
her cavaliers mad become almost as
famous as the stroll of Beau Brummel
on the Mall was to the london of other
days. But there was, perhaps, no
promenade Of this eccentric queen of
fashion that was more piquant than
when she received Frank Pierce
President Of the United States, on the
sidewalk, and engaged him in an ami
mated chat without any more formal
ity than she would have shown to the
humblest beau who had been in wait
to catch a smile of recognition.
