There can be little doubt that the time will come when immigration into this country must be further restricted; but there are, in my opinion, two strong reasons why that time is not yet come, a positive and a negative one. The positive reason is, that the immigrants are a direct gain to the country, for they are necessary to develop its industries and its resources. The negative reason is, that the immigrants are not harmful to American institutions, and do not compete injuriously with the American laborer.

There is a positive argument and a negative argument. The immigrants are a direct gain to this country; and while their presence is necessary to develop its industries and its resources, they are not harmful to American institutions, nor do they compete injuriously with the American laborer.

A few days ago, great consternation was created in our neighborhood by the unaccountable behavior of a strange dog,- a great shaggy animal, that made his first appearance one afternoon as it was growing dark. For some time he stood in the street, howling mournfully, and then walked slowly and sadly round the corner and out of sight. While he was uttering his ghostly howls, the old women who live in

Great consternation was caused in our neighborhood a few days ago by the unaccountable behavior of a strange dog. One afternoon as it was growing dark the great shaggy animal appeared, stood howling mournfully in the street for some time, then walked slowly and sadly out of sight around the corner. Directly across the street from our house is a "Home for Aged Women." While the dog was uttering his

Railroads are subject not only to a very loose kind of federal supervision but also to the laws of the forty-four States. As their interests are secured through legislation, they are, of necessity, in politics.

Mere assent to propositions signifies very little; for propositions do not put a man's heart in the right place. What we want is not right thinking, but right action; not creeds, but life.

When dogma is completely withdrawn, every form of religion falls to the ground. Dogma is the bone and sinew of religion.

Attacking Massana next day, Walker gained the first plaza. When, however, he perceived that he could not, without great loss of life, get possession of the other plazas by assault, he began a regular and slow approach.

The next day Walker attacked Massana, and gained the first plaza. But to get possession in a like manner of the other plazas would have necessitated great loss of life. Recognizing this, he began a regular and slow approach.

Walter Camp's story in yesterday's "Globe" gave me a new and favorable impression of this great Yale authority on foot-ball. It was happy in the blending of entertainment with instruction, excellent in purpose and with an excellent moral. If it be true that a man must have in himself the qualities he portrays, it follows that the qualities of honor and uprightness of purpose, so marked in the hero of Walter Camp's story, must be in Walter Camp. He is, it is manifest, much more than an athlete: he is a man.

I obtained a new and favorable impression of Walter Camp, the great Yale authority on football, from his story in yesterday's Globe. The ability to write a story with such an excellent purpose, such a good moral, such a happy blending of entertainment and instruction, requires in the author the possession of the qualities he portrays. Expression is the correlative of impression. A inan cannot express what is not in himself. Therefore the qualities of honor and uprightness of purpose which were so marked in the hero of Walter Camp's story, must be in Walter Camp himself. It is plainly evident that he is a man, not only an athlete but a man.

Landing near San Juan del Sur, they made for two days and nights forced marches, through a pelting storm, over wretched roads. In all-including a small troop of native soldiers - they numbered one hundred and sixty-five men.

This little force marched on Rivas, which was held by six hundred men, made a brave charge, and drove the Serviles through the narrow streets of the town to the Plaza.
