Four long-termed couvicts made a

~ Our Population,
North Carolina is one of the
oldest States in respect to settle-
ment, having been first colonized
in 1587. It is one of the thirteen
original States, and by reason of
its extensive sea coast and good
ports has always been easily ac-
cessible to ~immigrants. Yet in
the whole United States there is
not one of the forty-five. which
has a smaller foreign born popu-
olation than North Carolina, and
this peculiar distinction it has re-
tained for a good deal more than
a@ century.
By the Federal consus of 1890
there were 1,600,000 native-born
inhabitants of North Carolioa
and only 3,700 born out of the
State. North CarolinaTs percent-
age, in fact, is much lower than
that of ali the other States that it
appear almost insignificant. North
Dakota, at the top of the bst, has
80 per cent foreign-born popula-
tion, Minnesota 56, Wisconsin 44,
Rhode Island 44, New York 35,
Connecticut 32, New Jérsey 29,
Jilinois 28, Naw Hampshire 23,
Onio 14, Marylana 10, Indiana 7,
aod Louisiana 4. North Caroii-
naTs percentage is one-fifth of 1
per cent, and it has at no time
been much higher.
This fact being undisputed, the |
question naturally arises, what is
the causo? Some say that it is
due to the fact that North Caro-
~lina is a State principally without
cities, and that the foreign-born
population of every State is to be
found chiefly in the large cities
the case is easily explained, but
such an explanation, unfortunate
ly, does act cover the case. North
Carolina has one city, Wilming
ton, with a population in excess
of 20,000, and Raleigh, Charloite,
Greensboro and Asheville have
more than 10,000 population each.
Moreover, it is not always large
cities that count in the United
States for foreign-born popula
tion.
« The State of Iowa, for instance,
with Only one city in excess of
50,000 inhabitants, contains . 20
per cent. of foreign born popula.
tion. North Dakota, too, which
was at the head of the list of
States in respuct to foreign born
population by the last census, did
"Botat the time have a city with a
population as large as Asheville,
NO , |
Some other explanation. must,
_ therefore, be found, and perhaps
the most plausible is the fact that
Virginia being the arena of the
hardest fighting between the hos-
tile armies during the civil war
the tide of immigration which
allowed strongly while it lasted
was diverted from North Carolina,
hich lies immediately south of
ina, and thus oractically the
from this supply.
of course, when
led the industrial
3 REFLEC TOR ence, there was no large for-
eign immigration into any of the
Southern States, with the excef.
tion of Lonisiana and Texas
Oddly enough, while there are
only 3,700 foreign born inhabi.
~tants retorned by the last federal
census, there were 1,514 Indians,
and it seems a strange state of
affairs that in acy American com

the proportion of Ivdians to for-
eign born citizens should be so
higit."New York Suu.

HER WEDDING INVITATION.
Tt came today, and I must confess
That it brought a sweet emotion
As I thought of the time when my happiness
Was measured by her devotion.
'Twas the honest love of a pure, strong boy,
With plans for our future union,
And the troubles of lifc, with their base alloy,
Never entered our aweet communion.
But the broadening tide of my life swept on
In a full and joyish measure, .
And I found that the boyish love had gone
With many a worthy pleasure.
Many years have passed since I vowed that love
In my frank, impulsive fashion,
And my mind has swept to a plane above
My most ardent dream or passion.
Put I think of those dear old southern days
When my heart was young and tender,
And that little girl, wit her dainty ways;
Was the shrine of my loveTs surrender.
Edmond Picton in Detroit Free Presa
It 1s Said. i,
That economy is born in a wo-
man.
That the most recklessly ex-
trayagant woman has a vein of
economy somewhere in her com-
position.
That it may not develop in a
manner to prove beneficicial eith-
er to herself or 19 her husband
That there will always be some
pointat which she will not re-
trench, wil] look well to the peu-
nies and think and calculate wi.h
the ablest financier.
That she may be willing to pay
$100 for a gown, but will shop ail
over town to save 10 ents a yard
on the lining.
That she may spend $5 for a
ride in the Park but she will be-
grudge five cents car fare when
out shopping.
That she may stint the table at
one time and be wildly extrava-
gant at another.
That she may ruin a whole gar
ment by the desire to finish it
cheaply, which desire has re-
morsefully seized her at the last
moment.
That her little economies must
uot be laughed at. Simply keep
in mind the supposition that a
wotaan to be womanly must be
jast made up of those contradic-
tions that seem so ridiculous to
the average masculime mind.
That when it really becomes
necessary, because of financial
trouole, for a women to belp ker
husband by genuine selfesacrific
ing economy, there is not one
woman in a hundred who will not
bravely and smilingly setaside ail
thought of self oand prove the
true, ~economical helpmeet that
the emergency demands. But
that there is one thing in which
sbe neyer economizes: When
she loves shé loves with her
whole heart. There is no stint"
Only giving of ali the weaJth of
her affections.
It has been given out that Pres-
ident-elect McKinley will tight
corporations whenever they vio-
late the law. This qill be right:
By the way, many people have
& very erroneous impression
about corporations. It has be-
come acommon thing for some
mento abuse eyery corporation.
That-isall wrong. Corporaticns
