TuurspaY, DECEMBER 3RD, 12896. sale eres nthe “rare orecenteinfla ~ 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- “lation 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 Carolina’s 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- na’s 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 monwealvh on the Atlantic border 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 love’s 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 “and 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.
