The Tide of Immigration.

New Yoke, March 22. The immigration of Italians is greater than ever before known. Within two days 1,670 have landed bere, and large numbers are on their way. Of other nationalities now arriving the German takes the lead. Since Jan. 1 nearly all of this class have been farmers with means. There is every prospect that, 'unprecedentedly large as the grand total of immigration was last year, it will be eclipsed by the figures of 1882. The records of the past two and a half months show this to be a fact. Since January last year the arrivals were 8,082; thiß year, 11,042 ; February, 1881, 0763 ; this year, 16,752; twentv days of March, K5Bl, 11,996; this year, 16,682; total three months last year, 29,881; totnl thus far this year, 43 676 ; increase, 13,795. The total for the month of March last was 27,708. It is expected this year it will be 40,000 at least This will make an increase of nearly 60 per cent for the first quarter, and, if it continues in the same proportion daring the remainder of the year, the population of the United States wall have been swelled nearly 650.000 bv people from the Old World 3 A dootoh at Richmond says that if people will take a bath in hot whisky and rock salt twice a year they will never catch a Cold. Until somebody baa tried this new remedy stick to the old reliable Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.
