immigration News.

The three Hungarians spoken of
in THE HERALD recently as having
made four attempts to enter this
country, made another effort to
come in this morning. They pre-
sented themselves this time with
an order on the Brownsville post
office for so, which they wished
to collect. This sum, added to the
amount they were possessed of
formerly, makes S145 which the
three now have.
The inspectors again interviewed
the persistent trio through their
interpreter, Mr.. Sahualla, and the
result proving unsatisfactory, adj
mission was again denied them.
This time they were told not to
return to this port. It seems that
their replies to questions today
proved that the Hungarians had
given false information concerning
themselves previously, though
speaking under oath, and they
have shown themselves altogether
undesirable as immigrants. 1t was
also learned that the name given
by them was probably an alias.

N. Y. Taylor, of t:htield, Mimi,
a civil engineer of fine attainment
and large experience, points out that
the results sought by drainage works
specifically can in many regions be
attained by the simple building Of
needed roa IS through wet or partly
dry county. The road is built by
a ditch on each side there
of, and throwing the excavated ma
terial upon the road. The drainage
thus afforded is often sufficient for
large areas of land, and the expense
Of separate drainage bitches is either
entirely avoided or postponed till the
filling up and more difficult tracts in
dispensable. By that time the in
crease of population will make the
burden of cost, in the digging of
bitches specifically for drainage,
easier to bear. Suggestions like
these, from experts, have no little
value in days when the adoption of
correct or incorrect ideas at the out
set will so profoundly affect the
future Of drainage. -Maxwell'

purpose Of selling goods to the farm
ing people in this neig hborhood. The
men have been canYassing the rural
communities in Rnseaus and other
counties in this end Of the state and
the report that comes with them is
bad. The men give no guarantee Of
re possibility that can be relied upon
and in fact if the house that sends
the men out does the square thing
with it's patrons it is a decided ex-
ception to tine rule.
OF course the farmers know their
own business, but a word of warning
as to what is the usual outcome of
such transactions can not be out Of
place. In view of this we wish to
say it is decidedly risky to deal with
such transient peddlers. Thief Riv-

DONkEYS FOR CHILDREN.
They Cost Too Much to Be Common

The little donkey cart, as It trudled
along the white beach, attracted much
attention. Under their red silk para

small, gray donkey and smiled. The
gentlemen, raising their eyes from
their novels, patted the small and
dainty animal as it passed.

is, why are not cheap donkeys bred
here in America, the same as abroad ?

is an ideal pet for children, and, if he
were bred here, he would be within
